Welcome, @jhill15 Where are you located, where do you like to explore, and what do you use to get you there? Welcome aboard!
Thanks Steve! I am in Charleston WV. We mainly just explore our backyard here in wv, we have alot of places around charleston and within a few hours that are exceptionally beautiful areas to travel. We have 2 kids so it makes it a little harder to overland as much as we would like. We love NC and have family there so anytime we can get out and explore there we do.
I have worn many hats when it comes to rigs, from isuzu, subaru, land rover, mitsubishi, nissan and currently have a jeep...however its a patriot so we have to utilize every space or lack there of thats available with this rig.
I recently picked this one up because the montero ltd I was using just kept crapping out on me, aka fix one thing another thing breaks lol. We bought a 2009 xterra which we returned to the dealer because it had a bad rear end. So we ended up with 2010 patriot...mainly because i was just exhausted from searching and my wife really liked it lol.
Heres a pic of how it sits now. Pretty stock at the moment but I have plans for a lift, new wheels, lighting, roof basket, and recovery.

Tell me more, I haven't heard of the moog kit. All my researching led me to King Springs, but I'd have to get them from Australia. I did a write up on the patriot forums to make sure they would work: LINK
It's a shame that there is so little aftermarket kits for the patriot even though it was such a high seller for Jeep

Here ya go, it was over on the patriot
forum as well. http://www.jeeppatriot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=292273
Yeah I agree, I wish there was more. Unfortunately these little rigs have become about as popular as they will, so any hope for more aftermarket support is probably not gonna happen.

I don't know exactly where, but I had some ancestors that were from what is now West Virginia when it was still just Virginia. :) Most of them were from just across the river in SE Ohio, though.
Fayetteville. He moved to Ohio and met my Mom and I was born in Ohio, but WBGV is some of the prettiest country on the planet.
We love Fayetteville! Its about and hour from us. So many places to explore right around that area.

I keep looking at patriots as a daily driver, I changed my cars around and now this is my daily for now. (Jeep)
As you can see, the Patriot would probably be a little more suited to my massive 3 mile commute.
Does your's have the "low range"?

I dig the patriot as a d.d. but mine doesn't have the low range offroad mode. I couldn't find on anywhere near me.
