I noticed there was no thread for the Mid-West MKs. I am from St. Louis, MO and there is a strong contingency of midwest jeepers; so here's a start to those Patriot owners from the region.

I gotta say the Patriot is a super all-around vehicle for the varied terrain and inclement weather of the mid-west, especially the hilly and rugged ozark region. I work in construction on-site as a project manager and the Patriot has held up great in off-road and construction conditions. I'll post some photos on site with the Pat when I get a chance!

I'm from a Jeep Family, per se. My brother recently turned my old 92 Wrangler into a monster Off-Roader. I'd love to do something like that to the MK but my fiancee wouldn't be too fond of that spectacle in the driveway. I love the Patriot as it is, though. Anyone into camping, hiking and outdoor recreation in the area, hit me up! I am always game.

The trail rated Pat can do a lot IMHO.

Welcome to the site!

We have some meets in PA this summer, you're welcome to come.

STL, huh? I used to live in South City, Bevo, off Gravois. KC, now. Maybe we can get something together this summer down around Table Rock.

I live just east of STL, and have been wondering what my Pat w/ the FDI and 5 speed could do. I know I won't be able to run the crazy trails, but wondering what it can do with just stock equipment. I may at least put some towhooks on it before though in case I get stuck.
