2008 Slammed Jeep Patriot

I like how the wheels show camber, as if the sticker was modified for you to run it on your jeep lol.

That's because it was. Haha, the sticker guy tried to add rear wheels and give them a little more camber since I'm trying to hit double digits this season but nothing we tried looked right.

Geez I can't get any more people to comment besides you Mikey. Is my build that bad?

I ordered a custom shift knob today, and custom camber arms which will allow me to hit double digits in the rear.

What if I had some exciting news that I may be doing some work with Brada wheels... and getting rid of my SSR's?

DO EET ! ! !

Also your build is awesome lol. dont feel bad.

Haha, I put out a feeler at Brada and VIP modular. Brada responded instantly excited for me to even consider them and started to jump at the idea. I haven't heard anything back from VIP.

Br1's are beautiful wheels. And, being mesh, they would solve your issue with the brake components showing as well. Love those wheels! What specs are you thinking? Also don't worry about what anyone thinks...a build thread is a great way for YOU to document your own progress. I'm just bored on deployment so I rack up posts by conversing with people. Once I get home next month it will slow down when I get to fuck with my own cars lol.....

That's what I'm thinking as well, I love the wheels. I might photoshop them on later to get an idea of how it looks. Thank you for your servixe.

Well, the photoshop brought it to my attention that mesh wheels on a Jeep Patriot.. it was real bad. Like real bad. And the photoshop was done very good, so it wasn't even that.

And I also relized for the price I'd spend on Brada I can put a large dent in my "to-do list".
So, on to bigger and better things, and more parts.

One off set of BC Coilovers for more low and better spring rates. 30k/20k
Fix Retrofit / Change it up.
Rebuild SSR's for 6" lips? and new hardware.
Skid Plates
Adjustable Rear Toe Links
Adjustable Rear Camber Arms for 10* of Camber

[Creation]

ooh i like those bradas

They look reallly good, on every car.. except mine. Haha. It looks like a goofy looking donk about to pull up on you at a light and start hoppin' with hydraulics.

[P78]

so what you gonna do for wheels then?

[Creation]

I photoshopped about 15 sets of my top picks for wheels, and wasn't very pleased with any of them. I love how my SSRs fit my jeep, I just am not a huge fan of the open faces but I'll live. I'll rebuild them within the next few months for the real specs I need and get rid of the spacers.

[mikey G]

Like I said, pull your brakes apart and paint everything down there black. Once you rebuild the wheels with larger lips it will offset the your jeep tremendously. Especially since your building a new coilover set. Maybe even step the lips up 1" so that you can really get your fender to lip. Regardless of what you do im sure it will be cool.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

^ I agree, stepping those SSRs up an inch would be a great touch. Jeep was obviously channeling the XJ when they designed the MK, and I like how the SSRs sort of subtly reference the 5-spokes that came on the pre-facelift XJs.

Let's see that photoshop with the BR1s.

Plenty of people reading this, we just don't comment every post. I like it and just from looking at those wheels they won't look right, you need a beefy five or six spoke. Keep up the good work!
