Just bought a 2016 High Altitude 4x4 Patriot over the weekend. I traded in my 2000 4Runner and miss it terribly already...but I'm hoping I'll grow to love this Jeep! This site comes up almost every time I think of something else to google so I figured I might as well register. I'd like to add a few things (lift, wind deflectors, hitch, maybe tailgate speakers?, etc.) so I might ask for a point in the right direction. I've found a ton of information already but my employer would probably appreciate it if I actually did some work now. Anyway, hello to all you fellow Patriot owners!

Welcome to the site! I believe you're one of the first 2016's registered here. Don't be surprised if folks here are coming to YOU with plenty of questions!

Congrats on the new Jeep. They are a great vehicle and you will love it. What color did you get? We like pics on here.

I purchased a 2016 Patriot about a month ago and I love it. Mine is also a High Altitude 4x4. Haven't tried the 4X4 out yet, but my wife and I did take it to the eastern shore of Virginia. We spent 4 days in it and I think she likes it better than her 2015 Cherokee. Every time I went to the motel my Jeep was gone.

I haven't tried out the 4x4 yet either, but I'm glad to hear that you love it!

The color is Granite Crystal. I think it'll look nice with dark colored vent shades and a black brush bar...

Welcome aboard! Looks good!

Hope you enjoy it like you did your 4Runner.

Mmmm, I love the color! I wanted Granite Crystal, but they didn't have any in stock, so I settled for Billet Silver. I think you got the best color.

Hello, and welcome.
Ive got the Weathertech in channel window vent/deflectors, and mopar front and rear air deflectors.
Ive got no complaints about either of the three.
Check out the RRO lift kit. If you want more than 2" i think your going to have to get coils. I havent checked out coils, not to interested in em.
RRO also makes brush bars with or withought winch. Made to order, so it may take a while to get em.

I've also got the granite crystal. Love the color! I'm still pretty much jealous of anyone on this forum who has power windows and power locks. I live the base model life with crank windows

I also have manual windows/locks in Sport trim. Having had to repair a lot of power windows over the years for relatives, I hate power windows. They freeze up and break. I look at the manual windows/locks as a feature/benefit.

It's a Jeep; simplicity is its virtue. Plus we still have AC, cruise, defogger, and CD player.
