The Patriot Revolution is the 1st Lifted Jeep Patriot on CarDomain and in Germany. The Revolution is also one of three that has successfully mounted 245/65R17's (29.5" tires) as well as one of the first to install a K&N AirCharger CAI.
Shortly before buying my Patriot in the summer of 2007 I came across the JeepPatriot forums and found many owners feeling rejected from the normal Jeep crowd due to its unibody design or the fact it had a four wheel independent suspension. Being a fan of Jeeps and having a friend who owned a Jeep Liberty I knew historically things can be done with Independent Suspensions it will just take time and ingenuity.
In February 2008, I decided to start the Jeep MK Forums and later I added jeeppatriot.org, jeepcompass.org, and jeepmk.org domain names to help make the site more accessible. The site is designed help other open minded Jeep Patriot and Compass owners who have refused to accept rejection from the rest of the Jeep offroad crowd.
The two photos above are of the Patriot the day of delivery. The two photos below are after the start of the Revolution.
Below is a pretty close representation of what I want it to look like by the end of the year. The big changes are obviously I would not have the fictional roof rack or bumpers, but I would also opt to mount Soft-8's rather than the heavy Moab Wheels. But it still gives you an idea of what plans are.
If I ever get around to getting it painted OD Green I would then change the name from the "REVOLUTION" to the "RECON".
