I have to say this has been by far the best auto forum I have been a member of...and I have been on a few. Thanks for all the help and insight. I got out of the G for the upcoming winter...for something totally different. Never thought Id drive something like this, but Im liking it so far. Had to get some rims and big tires for it right away obviously haha. Hope you like it.

The G w the first rims


G w the latest rims


G w the latest rims after powdercoat



AND on to the new ride....a 5 Spd Manual Jeep Patriot! weird choice I know, but check out the look I got going on.





Thanks for looking. And for those who expressed interest in the for sale forum, the rims from the G are sold already. Thanks!

 

Congrats man ! If you dont mind me asking why the switch? Other then of course doing it before winter.

 

Weird choice coming form a G for sure. I like the blacked out look of the Jeep though. You'll probably get better gas mileage than the G too hahaha.

 

I hate the Patriot...but you made it look VERY good with the steelies and tire set up. Congrats and enjoy!

 

Just was time to change it up...I haul some things around pretty frequently which you all know doesnt work too well in the G. Still wanted something in a manual trans. though so I did some research and came away w this.

Matzo - I really am not a fan of the Patriot look either w/o the wheel and tire set up...everytime I see another one on the road I shudder a bit...and then remember mine looks nothing like theirs, so I smile.

 

You're going to love the 2.4L 4 banger My wife has a compass!

 

haha, the wheel set up makes a huge difference.

 

I like it.

the wheel setup is perfect.
