Just remember there is no huge lifts for the pat. 2" is the highest you can go. That is the RRO lift. She's no rock crawler, but the pat is a capable rig for exploring the back country.

what model and options do you have?

I picked a 2011 sport base..... about as basic as it gets... hand crankers even. 20k mileage was my buying point. Put a remote start and power locks on it 2 days after i bought it . Seat covers and Tinted the windows.. necessities... lol
The lift of 2" looks like it will have to do, which is fine after i see what i can hack and tuck under it. Im not into any rubbing under reg driving , but on the trails and crawling wont bother me...as long as its minimal.

Get the FDII skid plates, there is nothing hanging down under the pat. Shes smooth as butter underneath! My 2015 is the same model as yours. Yes, the autostart and power locks are a must. What system did you use?

Code alarm 4 button with 1500' range. Didnt have the liftgate done but probably will at a later date.

Sold the Silverado and grabbed a patriot for gas mileage , and always liked the square look of jeep... idk why i just do.
Escalade is the wifes grocery getter and we always end up in it when the whole family went anywhere. So the PAT is saving me about $500 a month.

The wife has 50th anniversary thunderbird with 18k she bought new that i finally have talked her into offing for a more practical car.... like a early 70s Chevelle . So if anyone wants to take my garage eye sore and lawn ornament off my hands shoot me a pm

Yep, don't want to park an ugly ass Kia SUV in the parking lot at a GM plant. There's the local GM plant near here that builds the Chevy Cruze. It's the largest employer and keeps a lot of other factories and other businesses around here afloat. Puts a lot of food on people's table.

Maybe put that T-bird in Hemmings Motor News. Does that have a V6 in it?
