Great thread with lots of good info, thanks all. I have a question:
Future planning for my Mojave include winch/OEM steel bumpers/RSI cap, moderate payload (3-400 lbs plus 2 passengers), and towing a small overland trailer, ~3000lb loaded, ~210-250lb tongue weight.
I'm thinking the new...
I'm pretty happy with the 315/70 k02s I put on, they are close to the same weight as the stock 33" MTs that were on it. The truck is already a little challenged in the motor dept so I didnt want to throw on another 10-15lb of unsprung weight on each wheel. Sits nice and rides great. I didn't buy...
Bumping this because I just had the exact same issue of the Aux wires being trapped underneath the battery tray, in my case. Had to remove the airbox/battery and loosen up the entire battery box to get the wires out.
Ok so I took a bit of a gamble and ordered up a set of Truxedo rails, an X15 Tonneau cover, and the Yakima t-slot adapters. Goal was what everyone else is trying to figure out: how to have a rack and a useable tonneau cover. The results are mixed, but I'll give it a try for a while:

The bolt holes were a little larger than needed but the dimensions were about right.
I might have something to show in a bit, I'll post photos and an update if it works.
Unfortunately the crossbars are too far apart for an undermount, otherwise that'd work.
I had the same issues with an OEM Rubi bumper, and decided to just use the Rubicon skid that came with it. I kept the Mojave skid if I ever get motivated to cut it up to fit.
I scored a slightly used JL Rubicon bumper off craigslist, a couple scratches on it but nothing some touch up paint cant fix. I tried trimming the Mojave skid as others have done, but I have *no* idea how this would ever work. I would have to trim off the top 1/2" of the entire skid, as well as...
