#5 of 6 The only limitation that comes up: by ultranet Mar 26, 2007 (2:35 pm)
Is what i mentioned earlier: clearance. This article says 7.9'' is not enough for "serious off-roading". http://suvs.about.com/od/suzuk1/fr/jf_06SuzGrandVi.htm Replies to this message: bm000092 (Mar 27, 2007 3:49 am)

Replying to: ultranet (Mar 26, 2007 2:35 pm) I did some off-road with mine and it's almost comparable with the previous Cherokee I had. If Jeep can say that one of the version of the Patriot is trail rated (the version with the proper drive-train), well just add 2 inchs of clearance to the GV with some kits already availables and you get better numbers.
