    Good Afternoon!


    I just bought a 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport 4x4 and its a great vehicle. Just put on my 500th mile on it lol. I sell them at a Chrysler Jeep store, and had my eye on them since 2015. Couple quick questions. With the active drive system, how does it perform off road vs the active drive low? I know there will be a difference, but didn't want to take it off road and get buried while finding out lol. Would anybody share any experiences they have with the active drive off road and what mods help this vehicle become more capable?


    Look forward to answers, and thank you in advance!

    Robert

    I ran with a guy for while who had a Latitude 4x4 and I have a Trailhawk, to put it bluntly the low and skids let you be bold and will make quite a difference in more extreme conditions but for 99 percent of your reasonable off-roading you're going to be surprised how capable your rig is.

    They're heavy and will cut a mile or 2 off your mpg, but they have a great reputation for being durable, they're snow rated and though I don't own them I work with a handful of people who do and they love them.

    Anyone Know If 18x9 wheel will fit ok on it?
    Plan on getting a 2" lift first and may go ahead with the 1.25-2" spacer. The wheel already has a 0 or -12 offset though. If anyone knows please pass along the info.
    255 55 18 KO2's are on the way!
