I'm keeping the patriot, and my build is going to get stupid crazy. Stay tuned.
Oh, and #beepbeepslammedjeep.
That's all.

If somehow the Cherokee drivetrain and V6 could be added that would be fantastic, Hell i'd even be happy with the 2.4L I4 and the Active Drive 2 system with the Low range, but i'll keep dreaming.

I dont think many places have accepted CUV, or Crossover as an official vehicle class. It is really. basically any van (dodge journey?)/suv built off a car platform is a crossover. Even Honda named their crossover the Honda Crosstour lol It is funny when I look up parts and the patriot is under Jeep Truck
I've noticed that. It's hardly ever just "Jeep" We're our own damn class of vehicle.
I just checked my registration and my Patriot is classed as a Passenger Car in the State of Ohio...
Creation: I'm glad to see that you're keeping your Patriot. Maybe you should take out the front seat and just drive from the back seat. You're back there anyway...

I agree with goguadi, great to hear your keeping the Pat, now for special mods...air bags?, hydraulics?, bigger tires, and wheels?, chopped top?, channeled body?,(this might be kind of hard, no frame), blower out the hood?, hood scoop?, candy/metallic paint?, dingle balls around the front window?, Mexican blanket seat covers?, wide whites?, pin striping?,....the list goes on

Fortunately, nothing on your list will happen. Wider wheels, lower, custom body work, racing seats, new steering wheel,

How tall are you that you had trouble fitting in the patriot? I am pretty tall and I can fit in it and my brothers are even taller and they still do fine.

6' 9" and still growing. It's not comfortable at all any more, next paycheck will consist of a bucket seat and a set of custom rails to get me started.

When I tell people I drive a slammed jeep I get laughed at, I've even been slapped one.
Someone actually slapped you for saying you drive a slammed Jeep?? :wow:
I'm still convinced that it shouldn't take much to weasel the 3.5L AWD drivetrain from a Dodge Avenger into a Patriot. And if you could manage that, you could certainly fit the 3.6L Pentastar FWD drivetrain from the latest iteration... The Pentastar has so many bolt-on goodies, and actual tuning support. How awesome would that be?

Don't want to thread crap, but totally, it was a similar AWD system, only thing was that there was no 4x4 lock control on it.

he's already 4x2, his exhaust it in the driveshaft tunnel. The only problem with a swap like that is the fact he would have to create or blend both wiring harnesses together. it's a huge pita, and a problem when the vehicle it's going in is your DD.not to mention expensive. these are slow, but they arent slow enough to dignify a $8K drivetrain swap. at that point he might as well buy a whole new vehicle with a better platform.
