Not Hydro blue but I do have 35’s with no lift

Won't hold the color against you. LOL Looks awesome, so much better than the stock 33s. What tire and rim you running? Thanks!!

Thanks. Wheels are Method 316’s in 17x8.5 with zero offset and tires are Good Year Duratracs in 35x12.50x17. I really like the look, debating on installing a 1.5 in lift.

Great looking rig!! Waiting for my hydro to be delivered. What size tires and wheel you running in this picture? Looks nice, trying to decide 35 or 37 but would like to avoid a lift, but the lifted 37 rigs look great. But so does yours so hoping you are on 35s no lift.

Here's another with 35's & no lift for comparison. First with stock 33's, then with the 35's & Mopar Accessory Slotted Offroad Wheels.

Hope this helps give a good perspective for you of the change.

Edit: For reference, these are load range C 285/75R/17 Toyo Open Country AT's w/actual diameter of 33.8" at 36psi. Toyo's spec sheet shows these at 33.9" dia. @ 50psi.
This is just a shade over 1/2" dia. less than their 35X12.50R/17 @ 34.5" dia. or LT315/70R/17 @ 34.4" dia. which are load range D & E tires.

Has anyone found any good quality seat covers for the Mojave yet? PRP/Bartact both have the **NOT FOR MOJAVE**

Finally received my license plates. Happy to get that paper plate out of the window.

Rig looks great!! I did not see a lift on your mod list so assuming no lift? But the stance and height looks great. Gives me hope for my Mojave and 35s looking good with no lift. I just worry a change from 33 to 35 is not going to be noticeable, but with the offset and height change it seems enough on your rig.

Yeah- no lift. It’s got a great stance w/ the Ridge Grapplers. Thought about 37’s. Maybe next time & a 1.5” - 2” spacer. The ride has been great and just took a road trip to Oklahoma & handled like a champ!
Here was mine w/ 33’s & then 35’s…
Good luck - awaiting others goodies now. Haha
**** Update: I will be selling my 35’s & moving to 37’s w/ a 1.5”-2” additional lift + snorkel and keeping the Fox shocks. Found out this week that I need just a little bit more water clearance ?. ****

Those are 35x12.5 BfG all terrains. I too love the look of 37s but love the way it drives stock. I’m in the middle of a trip from Michigan to Wyoming and back and the Jeep is so comfortable and no wander.

WOW!!! the angle is slightly different, but WOW that is a big difference. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the pics, this really helps. Does make me lean toward a little larger tire (though still 35 range) and more aggressive tread. But then you have more road noise, etc. etc. etc. Decisions!!!
Also, I kept looking at your pics and saying the tires look a little different, but not a lot. But the second pic looks much better than the first. At first thought it was the shine on the paint, but now I see it is likely the window tint, gives it a nice upgrade. Don't like the all black stock wheels but not sure I'm into the all polished look either. But love your color and pics help a lot. Seeing is better than imagining. LOL
I like your Rock Slide step, it looks awesome. Is that the true rock slide or just the step? I thought I saw once where they carried a rock slide that was designed just like the step but frame mounted, but I don't see it anymore. Only the expensive setup with the drop down step is what they have or the not frame mounted. Is yours mounted like the Rubicon stock rails? Thanks again!!

I'm also on 35's with no lift, but I went with 20" rims instead of 17s. Goodyear wrangler ultra terrain 35x12.50 tires and I've noticed no additional road noise. I actually like the feel of these on the road a lot better than the stock falkens and I thought those felt pretty good.

Glad the before & after pix helped you. I think part of the difference in the images is also that the first one was taken in direct bright sunlight, and the second one was on an overcast day, so doesn't have all the glare on the hood.

I'm right there with you on the black wheels.
Don't mean to offend anyone that is into those, but they just look dumpy to me, & can't figure out why anyone would spend a lot of money on wheels that hide all the styling details that you just paid extra for.

The sliders are the Rockslide Engineering step sliders with the retractable step.
They are by far my favorite & most useful addition to the truck. My occasionally bad lower back really appreciates them a lot when getting in & out!
They will also help to keep me from breaking down the outer bolster on the bottom seat cushion over time.
They mount to the body mount bolts as well as to existing holes in the pinch weld of the rocker panel.
They're super solid & aren't going anywhere.

I just ordered the “Diver Down” seat covers from quadratec. I had them on my JL and loved them. I tried the fronts from the JL and they fit although they are a bit tighter and more taught between the side bolsters.
They are not recommended for the mojave but fit(just not as well as on other models)

Granite Crystal Mojave

Very nice!! What bumper is that?

Looks great, bet you wish you had dryer weather LOL. Thanks for posting.

No kidding! I got a set of tube doors sitting in bubble wrap in the garage waiting for it to be nice out long enough to put them on.
