Trying to take it off-road this weekend to test everything out but first wanted a quick test run.

Will be able to make small adjustments like where I’ll have to cut fender liner for the apex disconnects.

Looks like the 38s will definitely rub on the front end so chopping the fenders will be needed at some point in the build.

The apex disconnects are A+

Installed the rear Rokblokz and will install the front when the fenders go back on.

Figured someone might want to see what this looks like installed on 38” tires.

These are the XL but not the long version, just XL size.

Well I can’t say this was a piece of cake because it was definitely tedious but I made the Mojave hood scoop functional for something if not airflow.

Grabbed a few iPhone pics while testing them out tonight.

Don’t mind the missing fenders and dusty hood, I’m working on it and should be done with that this week.

Thanks to @TheJoyceIsYours for the extra help with the runner lights write up.

Thanks to @AllMoparParts.com for in-stock bed rail caps so I could do the @DiamondBack Covers shim install.

I used brute force to remove the original bed rails, local Mopar parts store said these are on backorder so it was looking grim.

Finally got the shim install so I can reinstall the DB cover.

Installing Steersmarts Yeti track bar and rusty LCA skids today.

3m reflective decals went on as well.

I'm torn on that DB cover, the only thing holding me back is the fact it costs as much as a new lift!

Thanks!

Around these people keep starring, but no real complements quite yet. People do like the wheels though, my sales guy had just finished telling me that people kept wanting to buy it out from under me for the last few days… right as he walked away a lady quite literally ran up to my wife thinking she was a dealership employee “Is this one sold?” She said “Yes, it’s ours” she then hit her with the the “Okay… but are you looking at it or did you buy it already?” Hahahahaha I’ll take that as a compliment. I suppose I’ll need to start my own thread as opposed to throwing shameless compliments and drooling on yours.

I lucked out and got basically a brand new one at used cost.

The only thing I don’t like about it is that if you need to haul something taller than the bed height, you’re SOL and will need to remove it.

Thankfully it can be installed and uninstalled very quickly, 10-15 mins.

Turns the bed into a vault, priceless.

Hahaha should have said, depends on how much you’re paying. ;)

Truck always has a number on it if price is right and will order another with the profit and wait lol.

Your Gladiator is looking good!

After a month from delivery and wrenching, finally took the Mojave into its natural habitat.

I can’t express how pleased and impressed I am with this thing off-road, specifically backroads at speed, the Mojave does exactly what it’s supposed to and eats up abnormalities in the road.

Absolutely love this machine.

Even with 38s I was able to drift around long sweepers on dirt road.
