The Mojave and 4XE both use different cowls than every other version of the wrangler/gladiator.
It's why you can't do a 1:1 hood swap.

Look at the windshield hinges.

392 and Mojave have different hood/cowl. All others are very similar.

I forgot about the 392. It uses the same as the mojave and 4xe. I know the 4xE are different than the others since one of my best friends has one, and we park next to each other all the time. No way they are the same.

I have had a Rubicon sitting next to a Overland sitting next to a Mojave. I did direct comparisons on the heights.
People have taken the 4xe port area and used them on other Gladiators for air line connections.
I measured the cowl and other parts of our 4xe and compared them to my Overland - identical.

Sorry, I've taken a lot of measurements including using a profile gauge on Overland vs. Rubicon 4xe and Mojave - and the cowl measures the same.
The hood hinges are identical.

Having an Overland sitting right next to a RUBICON 4xe I've always wondered where people figured the hoods and cowls were different.
Then when I was looking at Mojaves last year, I also checked them - same thing. The measurements were the same as my own JT.

4xe only driver's side cowl is different to accommodate the charge port.

IDENTICAL - Rubicon 4xe and Gladiator Overland. I've measured. They may look different, but they measure the same.

Exactly. I could transfer the hood, other cowl parts directly from a Rubicon 4xe to an Overland Gladiator. The cowl and hood height are exactly the same.

look at the pictures I posted at the cowl BETWEEN the windshield hinges. They are NOT the same.

I had my Overland parked right next to a Mojave X and measured - where do they get the height difference? If you take a tape measure and start at the bottom edge and measure up - you get the same exact measurements.

Mojave & 392 have the same vent section, but both plastic cowls and hood are 100% different than all others.

may be true of Mojave - but I have measured our two over and over - and the hood height, cowl, etc. of our 4xe Rubicon and Gladiator Overland .

look at the pictures I posted at the cowl BETWEEN the windshield hinges. They are NOT the same.
I don't need pictures of OTHER Jeeps - I have a Rubicon 4xe and a Gladiator Overland sitting together and can measure, photograph, take profiles and more - they would interchange fine between those two.

I'll have to compare my Mojave when I get it - but the two pictured above are the same, no doubt.

Yep, only difference is the charge port.

I've compared those two Jeeps for over 2 years now and could not find any difference of any parts as far as hood, cowl, and so on - other than that port.
They sit next to each other out there, I walk by them every day even when not driving them. I'd be shocked as heck if after over 2 years of seeing them pretty much daily if I missed something. Possible - but.........

I did measure a Mojave - but will check again as hopefully next week there will be a Mojave parked next to that Rubicon 4xe. Then I can compare them inch for inch, bolt for bolt and use my profile gauge on them both as well as other measurements.
