I just ordered a Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper from their website. It was double-discounted 15% twice for Black Friday. You won't see the full discount until you put it into the cart. $397 with free shipping. ruggedridge.com

I haven't seen any aftermarket wheels with that high of a positive offset. The closest would be a few in the +25 range, such as AEV wheels. Also, Mojave factory wheel is 17x7.5 +37.17 offset, not +34.

Here are some STOCK suspension Mojave's with 37s. All 37x12.5 tires.

One of these. It basically takes a drilled hole in sheet metal, and "presses" in a set of threads to make the hole usable. https://www.amazon.com/WETOLS-Rivet-Metric-Mandrels-Rivnuts/dp/B081GDRTXP/

Some trucks came with threaded holes (mine did) and some did not. If you don't have the threaded holes, you'll either need to buy a Nut-Sert kit and tool and install threads, or simply put a locknut on the backside of the screw.

35's are an easy fit on the Mojave, being the tallest suspension trim level available. It sits 1 inch taller in the front than a Rubicon, which also clears 35's. I ordered 37x12.5 for my Mojave. A few others have also fit them on stock suspension Mojave's without rubbing. I have the tires, just...

Great build! I'm not sure if you meant to start a new thread for your build. I created this one just to update my own truck mods along the way.

I've owned a wheel/tire business for 15 years. Tire prices are based on supply vs demand, as well as popularity of specific sizes. The more popular sizes are mass-produced, which brings their cost per unit down. You'll also notice when oil prices increase, so do tire prices. Currently tire...

I shared the article because this entire post was comparing the two trim levels. I originally wanted a Rubicon, but ended up selecting the Mojave after test-driving both. Even on the highway, they ride differently enough to notice. I'd recommend everyone just go drive both and decide for...

Autoweek compared the Rubicon and Mojave on the desert terrain. Read how different they performed on the "whoops" and dry lake bed. Autoweek - Mojave vs Rubicon in Desert

Not my truck, but I spotted this one in Scottsdale, AZ. Sitting on AEM Savegre 2 wheels and 35s But, I do love orange cars. Here is one of mine.

This article is a great summary of Rubicon vs Mojave, in the arena of the Mojave Desert. Both models are excellent at what they do best. Autoweek - Mojave vs Rubicon in Mojave Desert

Jeep looks great! My identical 37s arrived yesterday for my Mojave. Still a few more weeks until my wheels are built. I'm tempted to just install them on the stock wheels for now.

Exactly. Every single vehicle I buy or build has an intended purpose. I have zero interest in making a truck "fast". Are there some amazingly quick modified trucks out there? Absolutely. I just don't have an interest in that. I'd rather have fast cars. Back on topic. The two colors are...

I started a build thread. Info/pics here: Mojave Build Thread

No, those two guys were staff members of mine, based out of Chicago.

You would be correct! I created LS1Tech.com and PerformanceTrucks.net

The Mojave doesn't come with a steel steering box. Same aluminum box as the Rubicon. It has steel steering knuckles, however. Those do help a bit with steering vagueness on the highway.

There were people putting orange tow hooks on their Jeeps long before the Mojave was a thing. Go rock it.

If you'll read carefully, I never said the Mojave "performs" better. I just preferred it over the Raptor. I also said both feel slow, relatively speaking, to performance vehicles. Most of my daily-driver cars have had over 500hp for the last 20 years.
