No idea but there are a few owners on here from SO WI and NO IL.

 

Thanks, I would love to get to know them so we could meet up eventually.

 

If you find something please share. I've been seeing plenty of Patriots in the northern Illinois area.

 

I'm on the NW side of Chicago.

I just noticed your location is Niles. I'm right by Milwaukee and Devon. If you see a Bright Silver 2012 Patriot with Westin driving lights on the front, that's me!

 

Chicago

As of yesterday, I'm a new Patriot owner! Northwest side of Chicago as well, Lincoln Square (Lawrence and Western). If you see a redhead behind the wheel grinning like an idiot in a red 2013- that's me!

NW side of Chicago here. Are there ever any meet and greets. I just picked my Ptriot up today.

 

NW IL right here also.

 

I'm in WI, just east of St. Paul MN.

I'm in Streamwood, SirMarco, and there are a lot of Pat's out here. Mine is white, and since I bought mine in April, I've seen at least 9 other white ones in Streamwood, and 4 of those are Latitudes like mine. I've also seen 2 black, 2 red, 2 charcoal, 1 orange, 1 silver, and 1 blue. Like my Dodge ram, once you own one, you start noticing them more.

 

I'm in Elgin. Pretty much on the Streamwood/Elgin boarder.
I see a bunch of Patriots rolling around.

 

I visit the west suburbs of Chicago about every year or two visiting family. There are a decent amount of members around you to maybe start a small club. I'm hoping for something like that in my area soon. Something for Patriot, Compass and Cherokee drivers alike.

 

We need to get the JeepPatriot.com decals, so when we pass each other on the roads, in my opinion, makes it easier to talk to someone when you see them in a lot. Use to be you could walk up to a person and start talking to them, no problem. Nowadays, folks are a bit more cautious, and sometimes jumpy.

 

I've thought about petting one but just can't seem to pull the trigger on it.

 

I'm in Chicago. Now that I own a Patriot I see them all the time.

 

Where do any of you go wheeling in the area? I know Crystal Lake has a few spots but I don't know the exact location.

 

I, personally, have not been wheelin' yet in the Pat. I've been working a lot, and have too many projects going on right now.

 

So it's this time of year where I really love the Patriot. You get a decent snow on the ground where you need the 4x4. I say when the roads are dry, I tend to get very board driving mine around. Now that we have snow, I have a blast ripping around.

 

^ ditto. My Pat was fantastic during last night's snow storm.

 

My red Patriot looks like a white Patriot from all the salt.

 

COOOOOLD ... and pissed off at the Jeep's DIN and a half issue!!!

 

I saw a Pat heading east on Rt. 19 from Elgin towards Streamwood about a week or so ago. It was getting darker out but looked blue, had I believe black soft 8 wheels and a nice roof rack on it.

 

I found the blue Pat. It was parked in a driveway in my plow area here in Streamwood. We got 19.5 in last Sat/Sun, my Pat was great. In between shifts, they let some of us go home to get some sleep, there was a pile of plowed snow in front of the vehicles in the parking lot, guys with FWD had to rock back and forth a couple times to get out. My Pat went right through it the first try!epper:

 

I've seen that one around, but I don't know where it's from. Everytime I see it, I'm headed in the opposite direction with something to do.

 

It looks good. I wish I knew where it's from.
So if I decide to keep my jeep I am going to put the lift on it. Yeah it may void my suspension warranty but the parts they would put back on are **** still. I could just spend a little coin if they wear out and get better replacement items.

 

I enjoyed driving mine this past week after the blizzard. Not once did I even come close to getting stuck. In our alley we had at least a foot of snow. I was very impressed with the Pats ability.

 

Yeah I had no issues at all either. I was messing around at the HS by my house since they didn't plow until Monday. Steep hills all covered in snow. Also by my work they didn't plow side roads. Some had 2+ft on them. No issues at all.
I did have ice freeze on the inside of my rim giving me the death wobble. Today since it sat for the past 4 days was all good.

 

I am pretty impressed with my little tank of a Patriot. During the snow storm the crews were removing snow out of parking lot at work and I had to give room the front end loader to get past me so into the deeper snow I went and then pulled out like nothing. This little guy is great and much better that I had thought. I think wife is kicking herself for not getting 4WD in her Compass.....But she won't admit that to me, she had hard enough time saying my radio was better than hers.....

She been having issues? Got decent tires on it? My 2wd Patriot did fine in snows of the past week or so.
