terasec, have you done any modifications to your partiot? i know they don't make much for them, and if i get one i don't plan on doing many modifications as i am mostly past that phase in my life
while it is a jeep,
its not an offroader like wrangler/liberties
but good compromise for daily driver and light offroading
i havent done much to it,
electronics for CB and such,
roof rack, better tires,
couple companies offer 2" lifts for it,
i havent lifted it, i rely on it too much as a daily driver to lift it,
as for quality,
have 105k miles on it, a minor issues, starter/alternator replaced and ball joints,
total about $1000 in non routine repairs over 105k miles
other than pick ups its probably the only 4x4 out there in its price range(low $20's decently equipped)
