I couldnt find much discussion about the upcoming patriot so I thought I would start one.
Was just taking another look at the patriot on jeeps website
http://www.jeep.com/en/07patriot/gallery/
They have a 360 degree view that I hadnt seen before. Looks like it has a very flat underbelly. It will be interesting to see what is the weak point when people start taking them offroad. And I wonder how high you could lift it until you run into problems. I suppose all we can do is wonder until they come out though. I think they should have skipped the compass and just made the Patriot.
What does everyone else think?
