What have you done to your Patriot today?

Kenny-g · Oct 19, 2012

Yea I think I'ma go look at a Auto Zone or O'Reilly Autoparts tomorrow. Like you said, if it's super cheap then no harm no foul

I bought the 12" black. Looks much better. Doesn't bend. Doesn't loose reception.
$9.99 from Advance Auto.
Came with adapters but they weren't required. I threw them in my junk nuts/bolts bucket.

Do you have pictures of the 9 inch? Just curious as to how that looks compared to this 3 inch. My previous car had the antenna on the back so I was not used to seeing an antenna at all. This has worked out quite nicely for me!

These are extremely tiny photos using the iPhone APP but its all I have for now. I'm not around a personal use PC daily.

I have the same one as Kimeroonie and I love it, barely visible both from inside and outside. Reception doesn't bother me cause I always listen to satellite radio anyway

I have the same one as well! I love how it looks. The only thing, it did kill reception. I use Bluetooth streaming 99% of the time, so its all good.

I'll bet ya that it looks about six inches longer or six inches shorter depending how you look at it.

Got my tires rotated. now I'm ready for the journey in two days

Cleaned out the front in dash cubby. It tends to collect things. And cleaned the back passenger panels where my 3 year old likes to spill and drip.

I will be cleaning my seats tomorrow or Sunday. And spraying with scotch guard afterward.

Other than fluid film, sense I can't get it around here, what is a good interior cleaner / protectant? Also, besides armor all. Just don't like Amor all.

303 Aerospace Protector.

Use water and a microfiber cloth to clean, 303 to condition and protect.
With 303 you spray it on, rub it around and buff it off. So your first application or two might be blotchy.

It is not cheap but it is the best I've come across and I only seem to use it about three times a year...all the rest of the time the interior comes up looking great just with water and microfiber.

I've been using it sine the 70's.

cmoore · Oct 20, 2012

thanks... i'll check into that

lux · Oct 20, 2012

Did this weeks ago just wanted to give an update.Plasti dip emblems,antenna and call of duty decals.Supposedly my rims should be getting here in a week if not ill just find something else.

MB · Oct 20, 2012

What kind of tires do you have on your Patriot?

Looks really good

the_jeep_now · Oct 20, 2012

@Lux,

I think if you plasti dip the gas tank door, it'd look amazing with black door handles, mirrors, emblems, and the rims.

Kenny-g · Oct 20, 2012

Yea I agree with TJN...I just love that color on the Patriot, I've been thinking about dipping my gas cap door too though my door handles aren't black. It'd look really good with your black door handles like TJN said.

Finally got a stubby antennae. Not too sure if I love it yet. While I like that its not a 20' whip antennae like the stock one, I'm not 100% on the thickness of it. (Giggity)

I also got some rubber floor mats. They're not the Husky or Mopar, but they have a lip to catch the snow/mud.
