***Official Mojave Thread*** Lets talk Mojaves

[GladiSD]

So, I have a different question.
Year long lurker here, but the Mojave is calling me! This forum has informed me and answered a lot of questions
I’m wondering about the “Cargo Management System w/Trail Rail System”
Seems like a pricey option for what it is. Is the aftermarket developing anything special to work with that system, or is it basically just adjustable hold downs?
I have yet to see it on any Gladiators I have looked at.
Thanking in advance for replies.

Have a fully loaded Mojave, and skipped ordering the Trail-rail system. It is three parts:

-The rails in the bed
-the "lockable" box under the backseat
-power outlet in the bed

-The rails can be had for a pretty great price after buying and you can save a lot of $$ there.
-The "lockable" box is made out of plastic, and if you have your doors and roof off and that thing is locked, any crackhead could pry it right open assuming it has valuables inside of it. It reminds me of locking the stock glove box in a jeep...bad idea. Flimsy and makes thieves wanna pry it open.
-The plug in the bed is the make or break for you. I lived out of my previous truck in the Southwest for months and never used that plug back there. It's too inconvenient and you need the engine running for a good charge. Especially while there's one inside the cabin that's pretty useful.

Just my .02

*EDIT*- I didn't include the 240amp alternator cause' I wrongly assumed most people are going to order the tow-package, which the alternator comes with. This is one of those redundant options that shows up in multiple packages....

I haven't had much time to play with mine. Literally picked it up Saturday night and flew out Sunday for 2 weeks. It just appears to be adjustable tie downs.

I believe for the price the additional features this option provides are worth it. You get a rear outlet in the bed of the truck; lockable storage under rear sears; 240 amp alternator; as well as the trail rail system.

I wish my Mojave would have come with it...especially the rear plug.

 

[JeepCares]

Yes but why can’t we engage the rear locker in 4hi?

Thanks,

The 2020 model year does not have this feature, only the 2021 model year. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I recently mounted WARN Epic Wheels and the JCR Offroad Bed Rack. I also have the JCR Universal Basket but it was shipped with missing hardware. I should have that Thursday and will mount it to the Bed Rack so I can carry my spare wheel/tire in it. I also traded the Hard Top for a Premium Soft Top and replaced the Color Matching Fenders with the black plastic versions.

35x12.5 and no lift, correct? Looks good. Have been looking at those same wheels and back and forth on tire size for my mojave. Stock 33s actually don't look bad actually but considering 35s.

Since the Mojave comes higher than the Rubicon and also has the high clearance fenders, no lift is required for 35s. If I go with 37s, I may do essentially a spacer lift that I’ve chronicled elsewhere on this forum. But, I do think we might compromise speed and agility if we push larger tires. It’s my opinion that 35s are ideal for the Mojave design.

 

[Archbored3]

Not using the bead lock capability.

Did you completely flex it? Any rub anywhere? Stock bumper and fenders I assume? Do you know the backspacing and/or offset on those wheels?

Reason being...I’m all ordered up and waiting. 35s will be it for this Jeep to get the 12.5” width for the additional float. I’m looking at the aev borah beadlock which is a 25mm offset. With 315/70r17 or 35x12.5x17 ridge grapplers(almost the same size) will I still have full turning and articulation clearance?

 

[Freebooter]

I did not flex it. I did go over a few sand hills cut by the tide on the beach. It did flex some and no rubbing. I would guess if I hit the trail pretty hard, there would be some rubbing on the finders. I did go full lock to lock turning and no issue. I have no lift so just stock. The wheels are 12mm offset and puts the 12.5" wide tire about the same inside position as the stock wheels. That offset pushed the outside of the wheel out about an 1.5" past the fenders. The wheels are the Mopar Bead locks. So with a 25mm offset wheel, your tire should be about a 1/2" closer in just due to offset. It is hard to say if that 1/2" will make a difference or not. Good luck!

I have ran 35s on my stock suspension Mojave, on the stock wheels, for the last 5400 miles, and no tire rub at all. I have done 2400 miles of the Trans America Trail (90% dirt), plus another 600 miles of dirt trails locally, with no tire rub. Even with JKS quick disconnects that are disconnected their is not tire rub. Absolutely no need to worry about 35s rubbing on a Mojave. A number of people have run 37s on stock suspension Mojave's.

I can second that, I had my Mojave delivered from the dealer with 35s, no tire rub at all. I did a few miles on dirt trials and hit a few serious speed bumps and some real tight turns. No rub...love the look and drivability with the 35s.

I picked up my Mojave yesterday!

I agree the 35’s might be the ideal tire size for the mojave. What width and brand did you get can you attach some pictures?

Here are a few pics of her getting delivered. I had the dealer install Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5 on stock rims. I'm picking up a fifth stock rim for my spare (also a 35) and I'm having a JCR rear bumper and tire carrier installed.
