I did not remove the stock spring isolator. And to be clear, the Jeep in that picture has a 2 1/2" front spring spacer and a 1 1/2" rear spring spacer. The winch and bumper lowered the front 1/2", so the net effect after the lift and winch/bumper is 1/2" less rake than stock.
I owned a ZR2 before my Gladiator Mojave. The ZR2 had better suspension than the Mojave does. Power is about equal. Interior is much better on the Mojave. Exterior styling is better on the Mojave. Offroad capability is better with the Mojave, even though it only has a rear locker and the...
I had the chance to see a TRX in person today. A dealer in another town 50 miles from where I live had got one in, and had it ready to be picked up by the new owner, and it was sitting out in front of their dealership. So I stopped and looked it over. Pictures do not do this truck justice...

My experience towing with my Gladiator.
That's what I was thinking. If it is < $5000 more to get the TRX then get the TRX. If it is >$10,000 less to get a 392 Gladiator, then get the Gladiator. If it is someplace in between then you would have to drive them to see which is going to be better. Finding a TRX to drive is going to be...
I'll sign up for a 392 powered Gladiator, whether it is a Mojave or a Rubicon. I'll pass on an electric Gladiator. Charging stations are too far and few between, charging times too long, and reliability too unproven to go where the tow truck can't get to.
Poison Spider Mesa, Kane Creek, and Chicken Corners in Moab are stock Jeep passable trails that offer great scenery.
White Rim Trail north of Moab is scenic and could be done easily in a stock Rubicon.
Eagle Canyon, In the San Rafael Swell, just off of I-70 between Green River and Salina, is...
Keep us posted on how you like it with the new gears Rummie. I have 37s with the stock 4.10 gears, and all I can say is I'm glad I don't have to tow with this set up. I have a 2019 Ram 3500 with a Cummins that I normally tow with, but yesterday I decided to tow a small utility trailer (1000...
Consumer reports gave the 2020 Gladiator a perfect score (100 out of a possible 100 points) for reliability. The 2021 Gladiator earned 99 out of 100. The only issue I would be worried about is that front axle problem, but it sounds like it is being fixed. Do you have an extended warranty? I...
This is going to take a little work, but you could cycle the suspension to check clearances. Jack up your Gladiator and put the frame on jack stands. Then remove the front tires and disconnect the shocks and sway bar links, and then remove the springs. Then reconnect the shocks and sway bar...
Thanks for the videos Kurt, they were interesting to watch. But then again, I could discuss suspension forever if given the chance.
Let us know what you think about those Fox 3.0s when you get a chance to run them. I went with the less costly spacer lift on this Mojave because I plan on...
The Mojave is going to feel very very limited with Ivan Stewart (or equivalent) behind the wheel. I am certainly no Ivan Stewart, but I have competed in desert racing off and on for 30 years, in a number of different vehicle classes. I think the small pickup platform is ideal for an off road...
How high is the front fender on your Mojave KurtP? If I measure mine the same as LakeMAnn does, I get a measurement of 44 1/2". I am running 37s and use a spacer of exactly 2 1/2" with stock Mojave springs. If you measure the same height with your Mojave, and your 37s are close to the same...
I would be surprised to see that the Mojave has the same tongue weight limit as the Max Tow Gladiator specs you are quoting. The Mojave suspension is very soft, and it is not uncommon to bottom out both front and rear suspension on the Mojave from something as simple as a gutter crossing a...
