On the way out of the parking lot after buying it. That’s where my hands naturally go.

What is the difference between the basic softtop that comes with the Gladiator and the Premium Softtop that's offered for an extra $600?

Absolutely love it. Bought it just about 4 weeks ago and about to hit 3k miles. The smile doesn't really leave my face when driving it.

They're both awesome, highly capable editions of the Gladiator. I went in set on a Rubicon but after evaluating my specific needs and test driving both, I went with the Mojave. We spend a lot of time in New Mexico on fed land so the Mojave suspension is more valuable to me. The seats are a bit...

The Rubicon shocks are good for their intended purpose, and the Mojave shocks are legit amazing. I don't get the people that buy a Rubicon model then swap the axles right away but I'm sure there are situations I just don't see. Maybe they got a crazy good deal, were able to recoup even more...

Wow I would think Australia would be ideal for the Mojave. I'd get an Overland since you want the fancy interior, install a rear ARB, widen the stance with new wheels and tires, and drop the money on the high dollar Fox shocks that come on the Mojave. No sense in spending more for the Rubicon...

It's one of the worst parts about the niche hobby industry. No matter what it is, guitars, guns, automotive parts, knives, *insert your favorite hobby here*, there's always builders that come up with awesome/innovative products that people want. It never fails that they're for the most part...

Good call on the overall length. I was comparing wheelbase. the gladiator does seem taller but they’re stupid close. I just have an easier time navigating the Navi in parking garages. Maybe it’s because I’m not as familiar with the gladiator.

Glad it worked out for you. My Mojave is longer and taller than my Navigator L.

I’d think long and hard about trading my gladiator for the 4 door pickup.

I have a navigator L and the gladiator is way more of a pain in parking lots. Not surprising since the wheel base is longer and the hood is higher ;) I park them side by side every night and the jeep is just as big.

With the current climate and trends I can see it being mandated in the next 10-15 years. Clearly we'd be able to keep driving the current ICE vehicles but at some point the government will intervene and require automakers to abandon the ICE. With the way electric cars operate we'd lose the solid...

Great feeling and so much easier than in years past. I wish soft doors weren't ridiculously expensive these days, because I loved them on my old CJ7.

Probably as long as the government still allows internal combustion engines. The days are numbered. We should enjoy them while they last.

I think the Mojave/Rubicon have much nicer feeling interiors than the Sport/Sport S but ymmv. I think the Mojave rides nicer in daily driving. For the small price difference you get a lot more value with the Mojave so unless you absolutely need to tow an extra 1700 lbs then it's an easy...

I'm with you. My wife and I spend a lot of time on federal land in New Mexico where the Mojave suspension is ideal and we get the added benefit of having great on road manners. We wanted a finished turnkey rig that's also practical for daily use. I intended to buy a Rubicon, fully aware it was...

What's the consensus on these? Are most owners replacing them with aftermarket rock rails or do these factory rails provide a decent amount of protection? I don't want to land the Jeep on the rail and find out they're for show after I bend them in to the body. Thanks in advance!

If you're changing tire size on a Jeep/4wd you should absolutely budget for all 5. Y'all with LSD will torch the clutch packs before you get to the tire shop. I guess if you have a rear flat you could swap one of the front tires to the rear to maintain proper height and put the stock tire on...

The Max Tow... enthusiasts... laugh at the Mojave too. At least we all bought JTs and we're not discussing crap like a JK :clap:

I've found lockers help alleviate the stress on the driveline because I don't have to hammer the throttle as much. I don't see them as a cheater option. Kinda like disconnecting the sway bar helps keep the tires on the ground as opposed to the air. By your logic using a 4wd Jeep is cheating...
