More than likely 2WD and just raising it.

Hmm... sounds like a viable option. How similar are the front geometries of Cruisers to the Patriots? Any Jeep parts I could utilize here?

Now, an engine swap is something I'd never seriously considered, but since you mentioned it, which DCX motors could theoretically be shoehorned into a Cruiser's engine bay (forgive the newbie question, I probably should have done a search on this as well)? Granted, anything bigger than a 2.4L would increase front weight and slash ground clearance, but perhaps some stiffer springs would be in order?
Thanks for the feedback, Ben!
