Renegayde probably has same bolt pattern as the Patriot, but, sad news...Renegayde is just a rebadged Fiat 500x. Same exact vehicle, just with Jeep "easter eggs" and a better AWD system. Granted, some say the same about the Patriot compared to the Caliber, but the Patriot has alot more differences vs the Caliber as opposed to the virtually identical(besides sheetmetal) Renny/500x. I'm happy you've got a vehicle you like, but I'm afraid it's just not a Jeep. Not even built in this country, they're imported from Italy, and got the gascap on the right-hand side of all places.

I appreciate your thoughts, but I think you are being a little harsh. I think the Renegade will off-road as well as a patriot. Seeing they are both based on basically car platforms. In my opinion the Wrangler is really the only one to be called a true Jeep. Nothing in Jeeps line up can compare. But I still like all of them.

Haha, in some ways the MB is the only Jeep. And I'm sure the Trailsquawk does as well as a FD2, but an FJ Cruiser can off-road pretty well, and nobody's slapping Jeep badges on those. Patriot has, well, simplicity on it's side, ya know? Crank windows, CVT or manual, a radio without a smartphone screen, shifter that's not a dial, starter that still uses a key, no "selec-terrain" cheat code, that sort of thing.

Yea, sorry if I came off like a jerk. Just thought I'd try something new. I like it so far. Still new. But time will tell. Lol. At least I can still go have some fun in it. I am in my vehicle most of the day it's my mobile office, so a few of the tech conveniences are nice for my application. But I do get what your saying. Sometimes simplicity is best.

Hey man, always looking to pay it forward for another Patriot owner. They're yours if you want. Just pay shipping and I will get them to you. Just pm me your address and we can exchange emails. They are 1.5 hub centric and we're only on my Patriot about 2 weeks. They are just sitting in my garage.
