Jeep Patriot SEMA Vehicle
Definitely not my favorite Jeep to come out of SEMA, nor the most noteworthy, but I felt this little rig should at least get a mention since it will be joining its other Jeep bretheren on dealer lots soon. The kinda sad part is that to look like this, they put a 2.5” lift on it (on a JK, that’ll fit you 35’s)...
Specs after the jump.
Jeep® Patriot
Builders: Chrysler Tech Center Vehicle Build Shops. (who??)
Trail-rated and designed to maximize the capability of the most off-road worthy vehicle in its class. Custom suspension lift raises the suspension 2.5 inches over stock-ride height and provides over 11 inches of ground clearance – to make way for the 31-inch BFG Mud Terrain tires on 16-inch Jeep Moab rims supplied by Prime Wheel. The front fascia is replaced by a custom steel bumper designed to protect the front end while allowing for as much tire exposure as possible. Custom roof rack ensures there’s plenty of storage for any occasion. Auxiliary lighting brightens any dark trails.

this could have been a cool Jeep. with more factory ground clearance, amoung other things, it could have come closer to being like a new XJ (Which I still miss)
At least I like the color.
Holy crap! With a lift, it’s got the same clearance as a stock old Nissan Pathfinder. Jeep ought to be ashamed.
looks like it needs more lift if you were to take it on a trail. and if you try to cut the fenders your already in to the door!
Say what you will, but i would love to have this jeep it would be perfect for the california and arizona desert and commute in comfort to work and not have to pay the high price tag for a grand cherokee
it looks great i just got my jeep patriot about 3 weeks ago and im looking for a lift kit what did this guy use
Paul: It’s a one-off lift kit. Not in production, and chances aren’t the greatest to SEE a lift kit for the Patriot. Great vehicles, though, for their class. Trying to talk the wife into getting one.
i baught one for my wife and she loves the vehicle,i will like to know were to get a lift kit.great vehicel.
Go to www.rocky-road.com and they have a 2.5” lift for the Patriot. Already been tested on a few and it looks great.
Looks good but i agree with everyone else a stock jeep that is that low to the ground and hard to put some beefed up tires on is pretty crappy
I like the looks of this Patriot. I want to do the same to my Jeep Patriot. Where can i find the parts i.e. lift kit, tires, rims, roof rack? Can anyone help me out?
Can any one answer the question (already ask)
Where can i find the parts i.e. lift kit, tires, rims, roof rack?
Thanks in advance

looks like it would need at least an 8 inch lift to have a chance off-road. haha
i got the lift done instaled some spot lights and got the big tires in… it looks great just need a front bumper ….. any news about that guys….. and by the way to do all the you need some custom the roof rack good luck found one from a cherokee and driled it on the factory one for the rhymes you need spassers but then in doesnt become street legal cuz your tire is to far out….... took me 4 mounths to find everything i googled it A LOT
I like the roof rack, can you buy these?
I also like the orange and black deal, usually the back PATROIT piece on the back is birght silver, is that just painted?
I just bought my ‘08 Jeep Patriot in May and I’ve heard that they’ve finally manufactured lift kits
My question is where where those custom roof racks and front bumper from? (What company)
I love my Patriot…I have 53000 miles on mine and it has performed great in the snow,ice,mud etc! This is my third jeep and so far this has been the least of my problems. I work for a utility and spend 60% of my time on the road then on 40% fire roads and much worse. Granted I know the limitations of this vehicle and have yet push the envelop. There is where my problems are…No steel in the front/back and place for a winch. Help me out….is there some place we can get this???
I like the way it looks but I was wondering did it decrease your gas mileage? I am thinking of lifting mine it needs a little more clearance when you go off road.
