Hi everyone, I just literally purchased a brand new black 2014 Jeep Patriot Sport several hours ago :banana:!

I am looking to tune and soup up the car a lot and would like your recommendations.

What are good sites to check out for parts?

What would you recommend upgrading first?

I would like to get a GPS deck, upgrade the dash, lift it several inches, get new tires and rims (the stock ones are uuuuuuuglyyyy) and do minor engine changes such as intake etc.

I will be taking this car in the snow up to Tahoe.

Please any advice would be great!!!!

There isn't a lot in the way of tuning for the patriot, but lots of other mods. You could always do a CAI and exhaust, it will make it sound better, but I don't know how much more performance it will give you, since you cannot reprogram the computer easily.

as far as lift and tires, I suggest you check out this section:

Lots of discussion there on those topics.

Welcome!

there really are only 2 lift options, RRO lift kit and STU coil lift, both are only about 2 inches, and the max we can lift the Patriot. If you got the 4x4, you should have no problems going up to Tahoe.

If you go for new wheels and tires, think about going to the 16 inch wheels, more tires available for those, and you can get the same outside diameter size.

Some folks have painted or plasti-dipped their wheels.
