Mojave owner here, so take what I say with a grain of salt...
I recently replaced my factory plastic rear bumper with parking sensors with a steel rear bumper. When I took my plastic rear bumper apart, I was able to remove the parking sensors from the plastic brackets without having to remove...
1. My wife had a Rav4 at the time, and having two mid-size SUVs seemed stupid when I had the option to get a truck bed instead. Do I use the bed often? No. But I use it more often than I do either of the back seats considering I don't have any kids, so I'm wasting space regardless.

I mean, I know they did a lot more to the JL platform to accommodate the 392 than just the hydro-glide whateverthefuck, but yea... there's no way the relatively minor tweaks they did account for a 30k price hike.
I can't imagine paying $90k for my Mojave just to make it go a little faster a...
This. Other than for powering my dash cam, they're just a very firm "nice to have". Gonna do some dudebro interior LEDs here soon though just to say I am using them... lol
Huh, that's weird. Yea I only got my Gladiator last July, and have several more Jeep Wave oil changes to use yet.
I mean, it's only $80, but still, that would have been nice.
Hey just a heads-up, it looks like the description you pasted in says both Twill and Sailcloth, but those are two different tops.
If you're selling the premium top, you might want to delete where it says Sailcloth - that's the cheaper top.
What do you mean by that? Unless there's something I'm missing (which is possible), you can just add a spacer lift to the Mojave stock suspension and fit 37s under it easily. As is, you can get 35s under it with no lift.
Also remember that the Rubicons and Mojaves have fender flares that sit...
Is there a lot of uphill, start/stop, or wind? A lot of that can wreak havoc on your MPG.
I've put the Mopar steel front bumper, HD rock rails, and steel bumper on my Mojave, and still easily get over 17 MPG. I don't drive like an ass, but I certainly don't drive like a grandma either. 12 is...
I don't recall the name of the channel, but I watched a video where a total dudebro just straight-piped his Gladiator, and it actually sounded pretty decent. He compared it to a Nissan GTR, which sounds like an absurd thing to say, but he A/Bed the sound in the video, and he's not wrong.
Just...
That's not really what cynical means, but ok... fair enough. Perhaps I was being a little hyperbolic.
In all seriousness, I don't understand why anyone would ever think that putting an easily-damaged finish on a high-contact surface would be a good idea. It's a "different strokes for different...
This.
There's always been this purist/gatekeeper attitude in every hobby I've been into. I think it mostly just stems from, like you said, how you view the vehicle and its purpose.
Some people think that Jeeps are offroad vehicles first and foremost, and when people ask how to make them more...
