Yes the factory center caps right off of the Willys black wheels.
The wheels are a killer deal at
Quadratec Morphic Wheel for 07-21 Jeep Wrangler JL, JK & Gladiator JT | Quadratec Copy of the Willys wheels but 1" wider and a much better +10 offset. Nothing is close to rubbing have 34"'s but could easily do 35"'s
Yeah, I have the Morphic wheels on backorder with 35" Nitto's. I want to get the "Jeep" center caps but $25 each is retarded. Just wanted to know if you know where I can get them (the center caps) cheaper.....

If you still have the Mojave wheels pop out the center caps and put them in the Morphic wheels and then pop the plain black caps from the Morphic wheels into the Mojave wheels.

Ah, great idea. I don’t have my Mojave yet, it’s in the shipping phase so should get any day now, but that’s what I’ll do. Thanks.

That’s not what I see in my off-roading circles. Rubicon remains the trail king.

Mojave needs a front locker, a swaybar disconnect, a crawl ratio transfer case and rock rail extensions to deliver comparable levels of capability on the trails.

Jeep owned the trails; it created Mojave to bring the fight to Ford in desert running. Mojave is an excellent truck, but its mission is different than Rubicon’s.

I see for the next Mojave, Jeep taking the fight deeper against Raptor with more power, more features, and more price.
Thanks Aldo. But the front locker and rear rock rails can be had. It just takes a little money. And, in better versions than the factory provides.

The sway bar disconnect is nice (worthless), but I'd much rather go Apex. Been there done that. I'm a fan of KISS... Keep it simple stupid.
You've got me on the 4 to 1 transfer case. But if I were to seriously rock crawl my JT, I'd go with an Atlas T case.

That being said;
The break over on these JT's is pretty bad. Unless you're rolling on 37's or bigger, you're better off with rig like a JK or JL.
There's a time and place for the Rubicon... But with a stiffer frame.

That's the priceless caveat btwn the M and R.

The Mo is really not a contender against the Raptor for the most part. That's Ram Rebel and TRX territory.

If you are going to be replacing parts, might as well get a Sport, mod it to your heart’s content, slap some stickers on the hood and you’re good to go.

Or if you really want to off-road, just get a Wrangler.

Right! The JT is neither a JK nor a truck, its a hybrid. I carries more than a JK an can go places few other trucks can. For me its a modern replacement for my old Comanche.

George Madore Customs out of PA made custom 1911s so smooth & nice back in the 80s & 90s, I would rather have one of those than a Nighthawk.

I know this an old post but came across your Mojave and it’s exactly the color combo I’m looking for. My question is the black grill custom? I see some with it but most I’m seeing come with color matched grill. I personally love the black accents hence my desire for a Willys until I saw yours.

Depends on which parts you're replacing. I use my mojave in the desert at freeway speeds. Even there it was just too low for its length trying to clear some washes. AEV 2" kit so I could retain the internal bypass shocks in the period ride zones, the hydraulic bump stops at the proper contact points, AND clear 37s even if I do jump it. There's a million different types of going off road and I can tell you whole heartedly that the JTM destroys the JLUR at speed both on and off road. Now if I really want to play in the rocks, the wife's 2022 JLUR on 39s gets the boys and is real hard to beat. Having owned a ram rebel before the JTM and driven both in the desert I also disagree that the ram is more competition for the Raptor there. The suspension is basic 1500 and doesn't provide the dampening or shock case resistance for desert running at speed. Obviously the mojave isn't on the Raptor or trx level, but all told I'm $53k into my 2023 JTM on 37s with the lift and winch. You'd need to double that budget to touch either of those other trucks.
