[rbailey85]

Check out my video about how to make your Jeep Patiot look much better. Search 'Jeep Patriot Rims and Tires'



[Bergylicious1]

Good for casual offroading... but don't hit a ditch.... this things will fly in multiple examples !!!!

[19772001corey]

now is you had a good set or tires on that little jeep the good years are cheep I have them in my Liberty

[123abcpa]

good thing this one has the trail rated badge on it, I was a little worried at first.

[Millarca69]

Just bought a Jeep Patriot, love the video and love my Jeep!

[theschoolbusman]

Thats Amazing for a smaller jeep!!!! Great Job!

[bestamerica]

'

try put 4 mattracks on this jeep

[afghi420]

Did you break an axle, or needs a couple ball joints or a new transmission after doing this?

[LMG422]

ok, this might sound weird and the answer is probably no but did you buy that jeep from Salerno Duane in Summit NJ?

[Zpinua]

@LMG422 yes, i did

[scarlebloke]

Great video - obviously an excellent 4x4 for the money.

[OOnionification]

Does this have FDII?

[Zpinua]

@OOnionification yes, it has

[OOnionification]

Does this have FDII?



[maximefcom]

All this WITHOUT proper winter tires... He have the stock all season tire...

[doctortalk121]

very cool video.  planning on getting a patriot soon

[maximefcom]

What winter tires are you using ? Have you every think using the Good year Wrangler Territory ?

[1000miles2paradise]

A set of true snow tires all the way around, and that little street-jeep would easily get up the hill at the end. :)

[Enigmahoodie]

I brought one its great 4x4 with 4wd for 15000 :)

[I8leftwingers]

Hi, I got a 2009 patriot, I have only one swicht near my shifter, 4x4 on or 4x4 off. If my swicht is at off, do I got the intelligent all wheel drive?

thanks

[Zpinua]

@I8leftwingers No. And in "on" too.

[cooldc129]

@Zpinua hey my dad might buy this jeep so i just want to know if its a good 4x4 or not because we live in canada and its very snowy in the winter, thanks

[Zpinua]

@cooldc129 definitely, the best choice for this money

[cooldc129]

@Zpinua thanks for letting me know

[pmat94]

what esp stand for

[japanowner]

Question:

How does a moron like this afford a 20k yuppiemobile?

Patriot?? Man did you get SUCKERED at the dealership.

[gismalor]

да это хули, 15 см снега . заехали бы в мухосранск какой нибудь там бы и поселились до лета

[TheOleg711]

резина и полный привод и запас мощности + электроника

[leapoffaith20]

Jeep PATRIOT?

Wow, they're really going for the dumb fuck republican vote aren't they?

[GoTea01]

@leapoffaith20 Yeah, they tried calling it the Jeep Communist, but nobody bought it...

[poorboyz56]

I liked the video and it answered some questions for me, but the driver in this vid could have done better if he just straightened his god damn wheels when he backed out or went forward when he was stuck. It was like watching a an inexperienced female driver wonder why she cant get out of her parking spot while her wheels are cranked and she is flooring it. Damn it was frustrating to watch!

[FronteraFanatic]

nice, all i got to say.. But i prefere the old school noisy diesel drinkers which one actually can afford to bust a little:P

[lilrara11804]

love how the nex are chiming in every time. "YOU TAKE UR OL GROSHRY GITTER N GET OFF'N MY TRAILS!" Sorry. Not plannin to get anything over a 4cyl any time soon. I want a Wrangler so bad, but between gas prices, the economy and most of all the environmental situation... i just can't justify it. And this Patriot seems to fit the bill perfectly. mid twenty mpg's, plenty of room for the family AND 4WD for a little fun and safety. And for the price, can't beat it.

[maravilla1992]

nice man i wish i can have this car when the it snowed in NY

[cabaneen]

Sound like a real snowmobile ... hey... there a CVT transmission after all

[Mikes1000Toys]

What year is your Jeep patriot , & where are you from ?

[Zpinua]

@Mikes1000Toys year of manufacture: 2008. I'm from Ukraine.

[Mikes1000Toys]

@Zpinua Thats cool .. awesome video there ...

[Alan12112]

Hi thanks for this Video, i'm thinking of buying a patriot and this has answered most the questions I had about it's offroad ability :)

Ps quick question,

I know how to put the car in 4wd lock as i've seen the chrome handle but how do you put the car in in low range?

[Zpinua]

@Alan12112 Low range is only available in a "Transmission with Off-Road Crawl Ratio", which is included in the "Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group" (jeep-patriot.ucoz.ua/forumfil­es/3.2.jpg). This package is only available for American cars, and in non-US showrooms is not available. I bought the car in the US and delivers it on the ferry to port in my country.

[x2Banana]

very nice car

[BergMister]

stupid ass music!

[Incinderella]

loved your video. what tyres do you have on it in this video?

[Zpinua]

@Incinderella P215/65R17 GOODYEAR Wrangler SR-A

[nemtastic]

The dog barking in the background set my Shepard off on a 10 min tangent. LOL

[dart5722010]

I just bought a 2010 north one of these. Can't wait for it to snow here in bc. I am coming from a 4x4 ranger so was a bit nervouse about the handling in that kind of weather... Your video inspires confidence in my new baby!

[Freddiewgbs]

this may sound stupid, but does it have a display to show which driving mode it is on, as in either 4wd low, 4wd lock, or 2wd, possibly on the dashboard?

[Zpinua]

@Freddiewgbs yes, "4WD" indicator for lock/unlock mode and "OFF-ROAD" indicator for Low Range(+Lock) / High Range(+Lock) mode.

[Freddiewgbs]

@Zpinua thank you. also, i believe that to change from these settings there is a switch - how does it work? (these are very stupid questions)

[Zpinua]

@Freddiewgbs "To activate Lock mode, the driver pulls up on the chrome T-handle." Look more information, using the Google.:)

[Freddiewgbs]

@Zpinua thanks, shortly after icommented i looked it up on google. good to know anyways :)

[patricblack1]

@Zpinua How is it? I'm thinking about getting one soon.

[SharpMotorCompany]

come visit us at Sharp Motor Company

[mike8301]

@ulric291 How about you get "educated." Grand Cherokees, Libertys, Patriots and Commanders are all yuppie soccer mom SUVs. If you want an actual 4x4, then get something without IFS/IRS. (Independent Front Suspension / Independent Rear Suspension) The only 4x4 Jeeps that should carry the logo have a solid axle for both front and rear, I.e. CJ, MJ, XJ, TJ, YJ, JK ZJ. All the rest are shit.

[trackermike45]

@mike8301 dork, no matter what you drive, the drivers skill is 90% deciding factor on where you can go. obviously , you have a lot to learn

[mike8301]

@trackermike45 You sir are an idiot. I would love to see your Patriot on the side of the trail, where it was pushed off because it got stuck because the idiot driving didn't realize that a stock suv with street tires can't compare to one that is lifted, with M/Ts, lockers and anything else that is available. I would laugh at your dumbass and I hope to see you out there, just so I can laugh and fly mud up onto your mall hopper as I go by.

[trackermike45]

@mike8301 why would you assume I have a patriot , everytime you reply to someone you show your ignorance. I stick by what I said, driver skill is 90 percent. add ons obviously do make a big difference but you have to have the skill to make it all work together. stop showing your imaturity to everyone and use that organ inside your skull.

[mike8301]

@trackermike45 I don't care what you have, I have the experience and know what I am talking about. You have repeatedly failed to counter what I have said with any facts or proof to the contrary to back up your belief. To put it this way, this weekend while offroading I was watching a buddy of mine trying to make it up a certain hill that was beyond impossible without lockers. This was proven by 30 vehicles not making it, but about 8 or so that had lockers made it. PROVE ME WRONG..

[jeep4jeep]

Impressive performance for a babay Jeep®

[shellbry]

came across this looking for patriot footage as my girlfriend is buying one. I have never commented on a video before but for the sake of your patriot and anyone else who watches this NEVER DRIVE IN 4 LOW. It is only designed for hill climbing and towing at very low speeds. You will kill your engine and trans

[mike8301]

@shellbry WRONG. Never use it on a paved surface.

[pcmbdl01]

Word of CAUTION, I would recommend to any to NOT BUY A PATRIOT! Problems I have had with my 07 Jeep Patriot, Front lower control arm bolts and engine cradle bolts replaced, sway bar end links replaced, horn replaced, new transmission. Also, I have had problems with the center counsel, rear brakes squeaking since NEW and rear suspension knocking since new. This is my last Jeep. The Patriot is JUNK!

[ramseyrachel89]

@pcmbdl01 that is why companies improve on vehicles when they come out with a new one. I have a 2010 Jeep Patriot and it has been great, the only problems that I have encountered are that I CANT STAND TO FILL UP ON GAS EVERY 3-4 DAYS!! A 13 gallon tank!! You have got to be kidding me, I seriously wish I could count how many times I've been at the pump since I got this new vehicle. Even though its a hassle its only $33 to fill up. Other then that the vehicle is great!! Buy an extended warranty!

[pcmbdl01]

@ramseyrachel89 Chrysler has had years to improve their vehicle's and they are still producing shit. I have owned other Chrysler vehicle's that have had similar problems like my Patriot. Transmission problems, brake problems and suspension problems. I have talked to other people who own this that experienced the same conditions. I have worked in the Auto Industry for about 10 years and I am well educated with this Industry. 2010? You should have no problems. It's new! Just a fair warning

[jeep4jeep]

@pcmbdl01

Then why keep buying Chrysler?

My personal experience is quite the opposite.

[mike8301]

@pcmbdl01 LOL.. sway bar links.. in a jeep, you don't need a sway bar.. ROFL!! The patriot is shit though..

[proonehander]

the commander performs way better

[MrCraigmire123]

awesome video. good snow driving.

[trevonlovesciara]

im thinkion of gettin one of these they have the best off road

[Bluv8395]

Great video 5 stars!!!

[RavenholmHunter]

You Devirginated snow.

[thegame52291]

L.R.3

[swalte6325]

i have this car shipping in soon. cant wait to be a proud owner of a jeep :)

[TCB1468]

Could someone please explain to me what 4wd lock is

and what is the diff between selct trac and command trac

[Zpinua]

jeep(DOT)com/en/4x4/how_system­s_work/

[TCB1468]

Ok thanks alot

that really explains it :)

[TCB1468]

If i was driving onsnowy ice on just a regular road

is there a way to drive in 4wd but not in low or in a lock mode

Im talkin about the selec trac

[Zpinua]

Of course, in 4WD Auto drive mode

[TCB1468]

Im just confused because command trac doesnt have that it has 2wd 4wd lock 4wd low

So what do i use

[Zpinua]

You said that choosing (deciding) "between selec trac and command trac". Therefore, I recommend the 4WD Auto mode available in selec trac II drive system. Command trac II 4wheel drive system is suitable only for off-road (part-time), Selec trac II is suitable for any roads and off-roads (full-time).

[TCB1468]

Oh thanks

One more Q though]

In command trac u can use 4wd lock so all the wheels spin at the same time

Can u do that with selec trac

[Zpinua]

Yes. Exceptionally in complete(conjunction) with low-gear, in 4WD LOW mode. When 4WD LOW mode enabled, the center diff locked and the gearbox goes into a reduced number 2,71:1. Agree, 4WD Lock HIGH mode by comand trac - a useless mode. Therefore, the selec trac more expensive, than comand trac. ;)

[01mtnlite]

how do you put the Patriot in 4wd un-lock mode so all torque is on the left rear wheel? Is this just engaging the 4wd without putting it in low gear? Or 4wd with the esp turned off?

[Zpinua]

In the normal mode (4wd un-lock, high gear, any mode ESP) center differential is free, and cross-axle differential lock is not simulated. In this case, of course, all the torque can go to a single wheel, which has the least resistance (hanging in the air). Once engaged 4WD Lock - torque was distributed to the front axle and the car started.

[TCB1468]

Ok thanks i geuss selec trac is better

Thanks alot

[eurotrancemixes]

Cool car!. Tyres are Goodyear Wrangler SR-A?

[Zpinua]

yes

[speersaid]

I Have A 2008 Olive Green Colored Jeep patriot...Limited Version and I Love It...If They made an SRT8 for it it would be sooo fast

[yellowcow13]

did well

[SAYEGH1996]

nice video man!! :)

[689362003]

AWD LIMITED for under $28,000 awesome!

[04redlariat]

Hehe I wouldn't try to follow a grand cherokee or Commander with that.

[BLUTO777]

not very good in the white stuff

[TrollinTheWorld]

they make these with the same engines as the grand cherokees.

and does it come in srt8?

[Jerrychrist666]

nothing is more fun than a little off-raod action.

[ascolti]

Should have bought a Land Rover :-)

That's a joke... I realise LR3 is over double the price :-)

But it would have got up the hill.

[Zpinua]

In my opinion, it all depends on the tires.

[javien108]

wat this song called

[abram7117]

IDK why ppl hate these so-called "fake" Jeeps{patriot}. there more reliable,get way better MPG then the other ones and have AWD that is more then enough for most ppl. anyway

[jay973129]

Just a couple of stupid questions...

I have a 2008 Patriot.........can I pull up the 4wd switch while moving or do I pull it while Im in Park?

Also what is ESP?

[PrimziV]

this is certainly a good car, show me some other car where you can get such relatively (very) good performance for such price

[Jaredhensley1]

1 slip cool car

[nrmntrs1]

Impressive off road!! Never expected that, sounds like a weed eater though!! 5 stars!

[2000HoneyBunny]

Coooool car

[diadeth]

Having a locked diff. really makes a difference. Got one installed on my 08 pathfinder (only w/ limited slip), plus with bfgoodrich all terrain tires installed just recently.

[diegodaudt]

2:27 why is the car black on the side? looks burned

[slipknot555133]

its from dirty snow coming up..washes right off

[multibucket01]

We finally had our first real snowfall here in WV. I took my Patriot out for some fun and was amazed how well it handled. The traction control and ABS, as well as the ESP was flawless, much better than my Explorer.

[CapirexFun91]

my parents' car ;-)

AMAZING!

[sergsrt8]

i would love that truck if it was a v6

[JBodine67]

your tires suck buddy....get studded snow treads.

[Zpinua]

In my city, the snow falls rarely. I have no need for studded tires.

[PIchillin456]

Is that the turbodiesel model?

[Zpinua]

of course, no. This off-road version, which are only gasoline.

[PIchillin456]

That's a shame. An off-road version with a turbo diesel sounds like a lot of fun. Jeep should make that an option.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

i was researching on this car...it handles better off road than on road...but if u always want a jeep with good gas milage and low price and a non rice egg looking car ...i think its worth it.

[ionengine]

Handles just fine on the road for an SUV...better than the older Calibers and HHR CUVs, IMHO. THe suspension is tuned differently than the Caliber and Compass, and should have been more fine-tuned in 2009 and 2010 models, over the '07 & '08 (which is comfortable enough for me to prefer it over a bouncy Nitro).

[automobile91]

Better than older Calibers? There's no such thing as an "older caliber." They came out in 2007 and very little has been changed on the Caliber since then.

[Zpinua]

Still, differences do exist. Even between the not-Trail Rated Patriot and Compass. These cars are different suspensions, shock absorbers have different part numbers, off-road ability is also slightly different. And a Patriot FDII and a Caliber (only with on-demand 4x4 or FWD) the difference even more.

[ionengine]

What Zpinua said a while back, lol...do people not realize suspension tuned differently does alter ride handling, or are too many people too lazy to type some words or read page a text to get an idea of what they are trying to talk about?

[KINGOUNIT]

what do ppl think of the patriot ? im thinking of getting one is it worth it? and what package is the best for the patriot?

[ionengine]

If you intend to go on 4x4 trails, the Freedom Drive II (FDII) "Trail-Rated" package would be the way to go, gives you skid plates, all the 4WD goodies, and an extra inch of ground clearance. If you decide to get one in any case, don't opt for the smaller 2.0L engine, not worth the performance loss for the negligible savings in gas or cost.

[Flipster1325]

hahaha nicee i need to find virgin snow like this here in canada this winter. im gonna buy winter tires this time either the michelin xi2 or the bridgestone blizzak ws60 not sure which 1 but they both seem good ~2001 honda crv ^^

[hagbard72]

Snow tires?

[Zpinua]

all-terrain all-season OWL tires and aluminum wheels

[JoeLouis2222]

Excellent vid man... is that patriot with the basic AWD or with the optional Freedom Drive II?

[TnTTyler]

It has freedom drive II, good way to tell is look for tow hooks

[JoeLouis2222]

thanks, considering buying one.

[xboxmichael]

very nice jeep i like how it handles in the snow

[naumala1]

The actual behavior car with a normal driver!

[Grejfrut7]

You really know what to do with car like this:)

[MrArcade25]

YOU ROCK !!!!

[psaulesl]

Very nice!

Have you had to use your tow hooks yet?

[Zpinua]

Tow hooks were not used because there was no winches or other vehicle. This trip was quite risky.

[cordlessyeah]

where is that ? is that the 410 trail?

[Zpinua]

This is a suburb in Ukraine, E. Europe. =)

[Arnold3D]

Don't you have Tow hook on the rear? I can't see them.

[Zpinua]

On the rear Patriot's have only one tow hook - left. There are 3 hook.

[knightfallzx2]

Is yours FDI or FDII? From the rear wheel not spinning at 3:01 I'm guessing FDI?

I have yet to do something like this with my Compass 4x4. haha

[Zpinua]

At the 4:33 using the "Low Range" in CVT2L - of course, that this FDII version. Do not guess. :D Rear right wheel does not spinning at 3:01 because, as torque was not enough to lock the rear left slipping wheel. As soon as the pressure on the accelerator increased (foot on the gas pedal) at the 3:10, the BLD (brake lock differential system) immediately activated the left rear brake pads and the torque is sufficient for crank (turn, rotate) rear right wheel. I hope you understand me. ))

[kemme81]

Impressing...

[Zpinua]

thanks!

[wymtnmedic]

Nice Vid, nice Patriot.

[thanhalicia]

nice vid, very good for a 2.4L. very capable for its size
