Ah, got you. That makes sense. Well Let me do some research and I'll get back to you.

[Kenny-g]

Btw 'Circles I saw your FB pic the other day and liked it and tried sending you a message saying that I was Kenny-g from the forum but it was blocked and I couldn't try to add you before I sent the message...what gives man?! Lol

I had some crazy stalker person, so I had to lock down my facebook... anyways send me a pm with your name, or a link to your profile, and I'll add you.

[Kenny-g]

Done I'm heading to bed though so I'll check it tomorrow.

I can't wait to get my bigger mods rollin! Once I get the sliders I'll be in buying mode and won't be able to stop lmao

That's the good thing with the patriot... There is only so many mods you can do, and choose from... I figure my full budget - outside of tires - is about 3k, and I would be able to buy everything I want to buy.

[Kenny-g]

Pretty much yea! The sliders will be about $600 installed (welded too), and the lift will be about the same installed, and then tires will be around $700+ installed so I'm guesstimating over $2k after everything's said and done...then will come the smaller and possibly more expensive toys...LEDs and interior stuff haha then future bumpers and shocks etc. my builds gonna be long and expensive but bad ass in the end

On that other forum, one of the guys posted this picture of his XJ, and I am jealous, just a little bit.

But in kitting out my patriot, that's what I would like it to look like, well as much as possible. I love that front bumper, FWD's is a bit too extreme for me. and I would love to line the wheel fender in black, and get some lights, roof rack for when we travel... in addition to the lift and sliders... and I still want somebody to make an auto disconnecting sway bar setup.

[Kenny-g]

That thing is sick holy cow! And I want a slim/sleek front bumper that's light. I might even just stick to tubes, we'll see when that time comes. And I have those wheels already nana-nana-boo-boo haha JK JK JK

I love black steel wheels... I might maybe consider a set of these:

And get touch up paint to match my patriot and paint a red ring in it... Love that look, but we'll see. These would also negate the need for wheel spacers for my 245's...

[Kenny-g]

Eeek...I'm not a fan of steelies on 4x4's but if thats the route you wanna go, go for it! I got my TJ Rubi's for $50 a piece (5 total). I told them I'd pay what a tire shop would pay...$50 per, and they agreed. Turns out they ran a tire shop about an hour away from me so thats why they agreed lol

Cherokee like that is my ideal trail vehicle, only because I think I'd always need the cargo space. I still see several used ones around in good shape.

Because it's a uni-body, you can only lift a Pat so much. I do like the 4x4 system in the Patriot though.

Should we start a separate thread for Colorado this summer? I'm pretty sure I'll be going to Denver sometime. My wife wants to go visit her sister who lives there. Will be a long drive though, so eats up a lot of the vacation time. Probably take me about 22 hours driving time, plus stopping for food, bathroom breaks for us and the dog, I should be able to do it in two days. But if I go 70 through St Louis I have a friend there who has a Chevy dealership, so may add a day. And would consider stopping for a drink with anyone from the forums along the way too, or if it's still my turn to drive maybe stop for a milkshake.

[Kenny-g]

^ lol so your two days to get there turns into a week with stops here and there lmao jk jk yea we can whenever 'Circles starts getting a plan together on his end he could start it and we can just tag along for the details...

[dixiedawg]

Cool. Last weekend in July would be no good for me, so I guess the weeks before and after too, since I'd like to spend at least a week in Colorado. If I take two weeks off, I should have a weekend in the middle for a meet.

I am hoping to meet some of the folks in Colorado while there.

[Kenny-g]

I could meet y'all there the end of June for a few days cause my birthday is July 2nd and I want to be in Wyo for that. Or I could hit y'all up on my way back. Either way could work.

[dixiedawg]

The Fourth of July being a holiday weekend, might be good, or the weekend before.
