Grill guard/brush guard

Disabled vet so not a lot of $ but want to add a grill guard/brush guard to my 2011 Patriot Latitude. Does anyone know what vehicles cross match? I've found several at the salvage yard on other vehicles but not sure which one would also go with the Patriot. If there needs to be a minor adjustment to the brackets I can do that. Also wondering about running boards cross match. Thank you for any suggestions

Hi, welcome to the forums, and thank you for your service.

The closest matches for the Patriot would be the 2017 or earlier Jeep Compass and Dodge Caliber.

I've heard of people adapting XJ Cherokee rock sliders to the Patriot, since both the XJ and the Patriot are uni-body construction and have similar places (pinch seam) on the chassis to mount to, so there's a chance running boards for the XJ might be adaptable.


Blackhorse makes a few different bull bars for the Patriot:

Rocky Road Outfitters also sells a brush guard:

I don't think the Black Horse bull bars are made to be used as a recovery point, unless it specifically says so.

The RRO winch bumper kits mount to the frame and are strong enough, but you'll have to ask them about the brush guard kits (stage 1) with the light bars.
