+1 for the new diesel jeep... wanted one but got a great deal on the PAT.... but as fun as the expy was really just wasn't practical and it sat more than I drove it and being here in upstate NY the expy was rotting in my yard... just felt like soon was gonna have some major problems with it.... 37s on a expy are rough after a while.... but when I got the deal on the 2012 Jeep I figured was time to get something better and easier to drive and a hell of a lot better on gas with the amount of driving I do between work, hunting, fishing and other hobbies...

Lane need to find out if you can lift the compass, since the compass, patriot and dodge caliber were all built on same platform just different bodies

Wonder if I could squeeze a hemi under the hood... :think:



I KNEW IT!!! my V10 excursion is faster then one of those things. i already out ran my buddys '13 patriot but i wasnt sure. that vid shows me that my 1/4 time is .4 sec faster. i ran a 17 sec flat in my monster. sorry to get off track but i always wondered what they ran. the best part was he thought he was going to get me on the high end...but he has a speed limiter i dont hehe

Won't be lifting the compass, but will be lifting my Wrangler Unlimited... 2.5 inch Teraflex Coil lift and 15x8 Level 8 Trackers with 33x12.50x15 Duratrac's. It's a package deal. Origianlly had the 3 inch Zone lift ordered , but found out you actually get 4 inches of lift with it, and with Jeeps, anything over 3.5 starts causing other things to have to be replaced. Namely Driveshaft , sway bars, all kind of stuff. 2.5 feels just fine for me. Mine has the nice 3.73 gears, so 33's will be no problem.

Will go from this....

Looks pretty sweet Lane, I want a jk so bad but I gotta wait till a couple more kids are ready to get their own cars so I won't need a 7 seater. It's gonna be a little while lol.

Was thinking the same thing..... how many come in to the shop that don't have problems??

I doubt that post came off as BigRed intended..





Welcome to the jeep promotion thread! LOL...

i get what your saying yea i work in a shop, but so far all the new ones i deal with have the famous swollen lug nuts as all chryslers get and alot of the new ones I see are already leaking oil, chevys supposed to leak not jeep lol. I already seen a few with trans problems with less then 20,000 miles on them. Granted Idk how the owners are treating these things.
