Looks good. Like you're working off of a master plan and not just doin things ad hoc.

Thanks! Just doing things one at a time as the budget allows.. My ultimate goal is to have it lifted.. Hopefully it will be soon.

Looks like an order for a RRO lift kit will be imminent. Possibly next week!!

I love how you aren't doing just what Mopar tells you to do. Respect for staying original Man!

Besides a lift..

I'm searching for ideas of what will be next.. After my current OEM tires wear out i'll be getting Yokohama Geolanders.

I'm thinking of a bull bar and a set of lights to mount on the front of it.

What do you guys think?

 

[Kenny-g]

I've never been a fan of bull bars since if you actually hit something with it, it just crumples up into your bumper and radiator (possibly some front engine components if you're traveling fast enough). So I don't like them...even on trucks. You should look into either PlastiDipping or actually bed lining the bottom part of your bumpers to look like the ole Moab Pat (not the one with the TAG type bumpers but the other one

I keep kicking around the idea for myself but I already have all the black plastic on mine...your model of Patriot looks sweet when done like this! Specially with your dark green cause it'd be a subtle touch

On another note, I wish a company would make those nose and rear slider things. The front one looks to be modified into the skid plate. Would be awesome if RRO looked into that.

Well I have USAA (whom I hope you have for car insurance) so should I ever total my Patriot or damage it. I'm really not worried about getting it replaced with another Jeep. The only thing is when you hit someone with a bull bar it would probably do more damage than it would've had it not been there.

I thought about plasti dipping the fender flares, but i'm testing it on my wheels. I don't want to do it and have it wear off or have to touch it up a lot. I already have a spot on my wheels I need to fix when I have time.

The obvious answer is to use something permanent, but I'm not exactly cool about doing that either. I might look into some wheels when it comes time to buy new tires.

 

[Kenny-g]

^ TJ Rubi wheels (like in the picture) can be found all over the place and you can pick up a set of 4 for $200 easy or 5 for $259 like I did. I plan on getting tires for them this week/early next week but I'm starting to debate if I should use the 5th one or not.

And I understand...permanent would be better but I'm in the same boat, I'm weary about PlastiDip sometimes, let alone legit paint lol

I wish I could just buy a mega roll of matte black vinyl and cover them. Then if they get screwed up you just peel it off haha

 

[MB]

Currently looking over CL for Rubi Wheels...

Might do what your doing Kenny and buy the wheels and wait for new tires

 

[Kenny-g]

^ good plan Waiting for wheels isnt a bad thing cause it's not like they're going anywhere, people are always trading the Rubi wheels around.
