I'm in San Diego and just picked up my Mojave in early December 2021. I purchased it in Arizona for $49,699. MRSP was $56,000. Every dealership I looked at in Southern California had a minimum $5000 upcharge over MSRP and many were $10,000 over MSRP.
A few pictures of the new 2.5 Fox Performance Elite Resevoir DSC shocks. Love the adjustabilty of these shocks and didn't sacrifice any performace from the Mojave Shocks minus the internal bypass feature. I had to drill out the bushings on the front shocks only because the Mojave Gladiator uses...
Bought my Mojave in December and wanted to say hello. Already done a few modifications with lots more to come. My good friend went out and bought a Mojave the very next day after mine.
My rack mount is from Fishbone Off-Road and is called thier "Tackle" rack 1/2 height. I bought it through Quadratec on a sale before Christmas. It was one of the first modifications I added.
So I went with the EVO shock extensions to start but I wasn't happy with them.
On the front shocks it was 24" eye to eye with the extensions and 26" without which robbed all my travel on the stock shocks.
Measurement from the ground to the top of the hardtop is 79"
I ordered the 2.5 Fox...
I really tried to keep the stock shocks. I added EVO shock extension brackets but ultimately it just wasn't the down travel I wanted so I ordered the 2.5 Fox Elite resevior shocks with DSC.
Johnson Valley is a butt kicker. Body damage around every rock and borderline buggy trails. I enjoy the trees so for me it was more Big Bear, Rubicon, Fordyce. I do enjoy the slick rock of Moab and Sand Hollow.
You Johnson Valley Wheelers get my full respect. My jeep is my daily driver and work...
Knock on wood I've never had to be that guy yet. My JKUR had 37's with stock Rubicon axles that were reinforced and I wheel with guys much more built than me and seen plenty of breakages. Being overbuilt is awesome and I wish I was but I feel confident in my order of operations.
A couple of...
Yes, a front locker will be in the future. I'm a fan of electronic lockers personally so I'll probably go with an Eaton E-Locker.
As for axles....I plan on running the Dana 44's for a while. These 44's are a big upgrade over the Jk dana 44's with both a larger axle tube and also thicker. New...
Thanks. I'm going to get it out on the rocks this coming Sunday to test out the flex and see how the Jeep performs. Most likely will need to go with a fender chop kit also to not rub with the 40's.
So this Jeep Mojave is my 3rd Jeep. I started with a 2006 TJ Rubicon and just sold my 2016 JKUR Hard Rock to buy the Gladiator. I'm a Rock Crawler by nature having run most of the difficult trails in California and Utah in my 2016 Rubicon. I'm in Southern California and have both Rocks and...
