#jordanslittlejeep (My Riot build)

[JayTwo100]

Paul glad you found me! Yeah man I'm still waiting to meet up as well!

 

[Stoute]

Missed you at my Browns camp run this morning. We'll have to do a run soon!

 

[JayTwo100]

Paul, can't wait to get out with you man! Nice pictures[emoji106]

My favorite part about this thread is that it just goes to show you (i) how capable most vehicles are even with 2wd and (ii) that it doesn't matter what you drive - get out there and explore!

@JayTwo100 - keep it up and keep us posted! (pun intended) I dig the smaller overland builds.

 

[JayTwo100]

@Saints&Sailors Thank you man! I appreciate it, I didn't plan on off reading the patriot when I got it but it's growing on me. And it's impressed me many many times, as long as your smart about things and tires placement/throttle you'll be alright in a FWD!

Nice rig. I like seeing so many platforms being built for Overlanding!

I started following some of you from this thread on IG. I'm @ArmyofMike

If a Patriot in a Riot, and a Tacoma is a Taco, I guess mine is a Gerk? ;-)

 

[OffThaGrid1906]

Love your Patriot. I'm in the process of outfitting mine.

Looking for a good/sturdy roof rack for my Jeep Patriot. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

 

[JayTwo100]

OffThaGrid1906 Thanks! I use the cabelas trail gear roof rack! It's worked fine with no complaints

 

[OffThaGrid1906]

Thanks for the response. I'll have to check that one out. Looks great on yours. How has it changed the drive. Has it had any affect on wind resistance? I know that may seem like a weird question, but the patriot isn't the most aerodynamic vehicle, lol.

 

[JayTwo100]

OffThaGrid1906 Honestly some people say it affects the ride a lot but I never notice anything at all. Same with mpg mine was the same with the basket on. The only thing that affected mpg/HP was going from 205/70/17 to 235's

We used the Thule on ours. I question it's durability, but so far, so good.

 

[OffThaGrid1906]

I think that's what I'm going to go with. Thule seems to be the one most people are using on the Patriot

Have you seen the RRO one? It seems to be more offroad-oriented than most of the roof racks available

 

[OffThaGrid1906]

I have seen it. I don't know anyone that has one though. Looks. Nice though.

If you're looking at baskets I'd go with a Yakima Load Warrior over the Thule. To each their own but I went through the same process a couple years ago. To me the Thule is designed to be on top of a vehicle all the time and used whenever. I say this based on the obvious aero design. Conversely the Load Warrior, and baskets like it, are primarily designed to carry things because of their traditional basket shape. I understand that it's all about having something to secure things on but I guess I'm just a sucker for the uniform shape haha. You might also run into an issue with mounting an awning to the Thule if you ever planned to do so.

This is my latest trip 12/10/16 up Lolo Pass, Oregon. First time going out to the woods to cut a Christmas tree and we had a blast!
