help needed 2013 Jeep Patriot
- Thread starter sader
- Start date
to help the newbie out, I've already gotten him a PA300 with speaker and probably going to give him a whelen spectir8 to start.
also, colors for him are going to be any combination of R/W/A

i have a newer expedition but i did a dual talon in the front with laws in the headlights, tir3 on the front lower valance toward the side for intersection. tir3 in each rear side window. and a stick light in the rear window. that would get you started and upgrade as you get deals on things i also used to have a stick light in the grill that worked great. just check the classified section here. always some great deals.

I can build you a full vehicle setup for under $1000 with either AWL or Feniex items.
I know you said no external lightbars; does this include all exterior lights, or just lightbars? Also, are you responding mainly to the scene, or the station?

He's on the same department as me. Vehicle will be used only for response to station, pending anything crazy happening. And the no exterior rule is for roof mounted lightbars only, but anything mounted exterior should be done so tastefully.

So, since he can't get on here right now I'll update this for him.
He traded in the ford and got a 2013 jeep patriot. I've got some ideas for it but we both want to hear what the rest of you think. Same requirements as before.

Nice vehicle! Here's what I would do:
Front:
1x Full Interior Lightbar
2x LED Hide Aways (in fog lights)
2x SMT3 Grille Lights (behind grille if space permits)
Side:
1x Intersection Bracket
2x SMT3 or Cobra T6 Surface Mounts (on intersection bracket)
1x 2 or 4 Module Warning Bar (whichever fits best) in Rear Side Window
Rear:
2x LED Hide Aways
1x 6 or 8 Module Warning Bar
1x LP Bracket
2x SMT3 Grille Lights
That setup would be below $1000 on my site. I can also build one for under $500 as well

Having a patriot myself a full interior bar won't fit because the visor clips on the outside are recessed into the headliner about an inch plus the one we bought for work from Tom wouldn't fit in due to the length. But to of those dash lights would fit nicely with custom brackets
Will there be a grille/brush guard used?
Here is what I would do
Front:
Grille 2 Whelen M6s(red) and a HLF
SNM(or similar) D12(red/red and set to a pattern where both heads light at same time)
Sides:
SOS nFORCE Nexus
1 R/C as far forward as possible for intersection
1 Red behind rear sets
Rear:
SNM(or similar) E44 all red or red/amber
Keep switching to a minimum. 1 OFF-ON-ON rear light on 1st front/sides 2nd then 1 OFF-ON for HLF
All the lights come out to $962. Switches should be less than $20.

What I would do...
R/W Whelen Avenger on the top edge of the windshield, passenger side
4 Red Whelen TIR3 in the grille behind the honeycomb with a nice slow x-pattern flash
Red TIR3 in each side window behind the C-Post
R/A Whelen Avenger inside the rear glass
Can't tell from the photos I can find if LAW will work in the clear section of the turn signals, but that would be a plus. Since it's for response to the station, lights to the rear would be for identification only so there is no reason to load up the back.

Spend the money to get a 2" lift. Jeep patriots look much better lifted!
But seriously, HLF, rear haws, interior bar, front LP intersection bracket, SOS intersectors.

LAW's will fit in the unused sections of the taillights. I've got a 2011 Patriot which is the same.
and x2 on the 2" RRO Lift.
