2008 Slammed Jeep Patriot

[Creation]

Thank you, I may make the trip up there for the show but we will have to see!

SICK Jeep man! I didn't know what to expect clicking this at first, but I'm blown away!

If you can, you should totally come to the Auto Combine show/meet up here in Jacksonville on August 10th. I'd love to see this beast in person!

I've thought about it, but that's not the style I'm going for. I'm trying to stay away from tradition Jeep ways.

So cool!

Have you ever thought about getting some wide arches like the ones in the above picture and getting some crazy wide wheels? Would look insane! Hard to get right though I bet!

Thanks for the kind words, I'm trying to clean it up and make it worth looking at.

Nice to know about it in detail,its really very awesome in detail picture,i see its a full dashing jeep and you made it by your own desire,its interior is really much appreciated and the exterior is also impressive,dual silencer is also looking very graceful,i like it so much.

For those of you who are still reading, here's a front shot displaying my euro bumper, and one off headlights.

I really dig those wheels! Kinda look like carlsson 2/5s but w/ 5 bolts between each spoke vs 4!

Thank you. It was a great purchase.

Can't wait to see you go wide on those wheels.

If anything, I'll put the 9.5s up front, then rebuild the 8.5 to 9.5-10.5 with massive lips.
Still considering how to tackle the tub project, as everything is still in the car and I daily it.
Also contacted BC, and once tubs get taken care of I will be purchasing custom coilovers, which are going to be lower than extreme lows. Muahaha

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I'm looking to push it further, just waiting on funds to appear.

Been really slow at making progress this week. Everything in life decided it wanted to need money so my bank was drained. I have a surprise showing up today, but that'll have to wait until UPS shows up.
But, heres a side shot with the new wheels on.

Sorry to keep everyone hanging, sometimes life just takes over. (And I may have forgotten about this build thread).

Just a few small things to show, big things are right around the corner:

Working on my set of fog lights DIY, going for a black chrome housing and white XB rings to match my headlights. (In progress as of today)




Got bored of my all black interior and needed a splash of color. Went with a super swanky pattern to give the interior some life.


Finished my flip downs, still debating if I should do the pillars.


Wrapped my center bezel in Matte metallic Forest Green, then removed it. I loved the color, but it just was to dark for the interior.



Also, currently speaking to a wheel sourcer/rebuilder? about sourcing some new lips/barrels. How does 19x10 with a 3in lip (Front) and 19x11 1/2 with a 4 1/2 lip (Rear) sound?


Still on the hunt for someone to tub the Jeep, everyone I speak to wants to strip down the entire car, to a shell, tub and reinstall. But since it's a DD I can't afford to take it off the road for 2+ weeks for a shop to do the work.

We have the same patriot in our family. Always thinkin its the ugliest car in the world but u just changed my mind.

[killab412]

this is awesome!

[Creation]

Thank you both. I just rewired my headlights as I was experiencing some flashing/intermittent on offs when the wiring was bumped. Also finished up the foglights and got them installed. I'll put some pictures up once my phone turns back on.
