$21K-$25K

Ongoing project...next item to install are bumpers & winch.

3.5" suspension lift with another 1" on the body which required the slip yoke eliminator and 1" engine lift to keep the angles right. Had 35 x 12 swampers on there with Bulletproof front and rear bumpers.

I didn't realize how well the vehicle performed until I purchased a CJ/5.

Simple, but effective. Just needs a bit more lift and slightly taller tires, which, of course, requires steeper gearing....and, since I'd need to re-gear, I may as well upgrade to tougher axles right? Built D-44's would work nicely.....of course with D-60's, I'd practically NEVER have a worry of breaking axle pieces. Then, of course, I should probably add lockers, and maybe............wait.............(Why do I see a pattern emerging here?)

This was my first..OoH

The first pic is my Patriot stock
The 2nd pic is my Patriot after I installed the 2.25 Rocky Road Lift kit.
The 3rd pic is a goebel1's Patriot lifted with the same lift as mine and has 29.7" tires on it.
The 4th pic is liftedMK's Patriot with the same lift but has 30.7" tires.

I plan to have my new tires on my Jeep in about another month or two and I'll add more pics at that time.

This is my very first Jeep acquired in a very interesting way, ask me about it on the trail.

My intent is to keep it as near stock (looking) as possible, no extensive lift or tire increases, but make as Trail Ready as possible.

It has an AirRaid cold air intake, Terraflex disconnects in the front, 30x9.50 BGF AT's, and Royal Purple throughout.

Pictures soon.

I bought it in 2006 as a 2005 leftover, got a great deal on it even though white was the last color I wanted, it has kinda grown on my though. It has the 4.0L engine with a 6 speed manual, Dana 30 front axle and Dana 35 rear axle.
