I just got an '07 patriot, and need parts (already!). Anyone know of a wrecker in the vancouver area that might have something this new?

Try Reids salvage in Burnaby. They deal only with mopar. Maybe they will have some jeep items. Good prices.

Thanks Mopar,
I did find Reid's on a recommendation from another wrecker. Whilst they had several patriots they didn't have the part i need as it was specific to the '07.
Ordered the part from Pollard's in the US in the end.

What was the part? I thought everything was the same 07-10?

It was the TIPM (fuse box) module - the brake lights were dead when i bought the truck last week. Dealer diagnosed it as that, and wanted $1200 for the part. Kick in the balls two days after buying!
We checked part numbers and VIN numbers with the wrecker and the dealer between my '07 and the '08 the wrecker had and they were completely different. I wonder if it is because the '07 has separate turn signals? I don't know, I'm new to this, but I got a new part of the exact part number for $600 from pollards. The used one would have been $350 but might not have worked.
