hey all,

first of all... i have posted a pic of my car in another category in the forum but i figured it wasnt a proper introduction haha.


here goes... im 24 and from Cairns QLD Australia. I Own a Jeep Patriot CRD (Turbo Diesel 6Speed Manual) and have recently upgraded to 22inch Rims (255/30))

Ive also upgraded the grill with the chrome inserts i got (cost like $15 all up lol)


here is a picture..

i love my jeep .... the only thing that anoys me with the crd is... if you put your foot down even the tiniest bit your will smother the car behind you in diesel smoke (extremely noticeable at night time).

besides that it rocks :D


... next on the mod list is the stereo (i have factory non ba system)... i want to source a jeep compass nav bezel but the jeep dealers i have called said there is only one bezel and thats the one i have... (if someone could help me here that would be great)



Cheers

oh oh and p.s: i no some people dont like the idea of "street jeeps" but im not into offroading.. im a dj by trade and i needed something economical, roomy and classy/pimpin lol... and in my budget it was either this or a rav4 (hell no i aint getting no rav4 lol)

end :)

the crd is my missus, it blows a little smoke but as she racks up the k,s it is getting less and less also the engine noise is getting quieter as its running in...yes you will need that aswell to fit anything after market, the kit has many configuration options so its very good

welcome to the forum!! always great to have another aussie on here.

I saw a black version of your car in canberra the other (there are only three of us in the nation's capital apparently). It was really nice....

but, i love the off-road thing so i'll leave the bling to you. Although, i was thinking of putting the chrome on the grille. Did you buy that locally, or from e-bay?

What a picture, Kemnitz! Very cool with the fog lights on. I think that belongs in the Off-road pics thread.

Thefridge, your Patriot on chromes looks swell. Good choice!

new headunit goes in tommorow

Pioneer double din (w/ bluetooth + ipod)

changed front speakers to polk audio 6x9s.. made a massive different and sounds awesome. and also addding a fusion bass tube to the boot area tommorow (works well for me becuase if i need to use the boot i can easily remove the bass tube by unpluging)
