I was in the EXACT same boat, but the additional weight of the diesel engine, which I believe has been stated is 350 pounds more than the gasser, (please correct me if I'm mistaken), in addition to the increasingly prolific issues the diesel has been having in the Gladiator platform made it a...
I have just over 3500 miles on my Mojave, and well over 2500 of those are in SW AZ in the EXACT terrain the Mojave was designed for. My previous ride was a '17 JKUR and the capabilities between the two machines in the "desert rated" environment is almost day and night...
I've said it before...
Jackass...
I'm all about your Jeep, do your thing, but to say this is a rolling road hazard, not only to themselves but those around them, is an understatement. A highway patrolman/state trooper wouldn't even have to be remotely bored to jam this idiot up with a citation.
First a correction; I misstated the size of the stock speaker, it's a 4-inch not 3.5-inch but my observation about getting quality sound out of a speaker that size in that location stands...
From the looks of this picture:
...it looks like it's set up for a 6.5 or 6.75-inch speaker only, as...
After doing some research here about how to best protect my trailer hitch, I hit up Richard @ Skid Mark 4x4 who provided me with a MIL/LE/public safety discount in addition to free shipping. Received the package in almost NO time and was pleased to see that in addition to a cool sticker to slap...
Well I didn't see anyone else here recommend an alternative, yourself included, so you're welcome...
And there's WAY more room available there then there is @ the Expo's venue. Same goes for the Cinders, plenty of room there too.
You could easily/legally dry camp off of Schnebly Hill Road which is just down the road from where the Expo is held and have plenty of elbow room. It'd be about a 15-20 minute ride max to the Expo from there...
...and hand calculate. That's why it's called a "lie-o-meter", and that combination would be gutless with any elevation and anything remotely challenging outside of a mall parking lot.
Without going through this entire thread I'm sure it's been covered, but as "customizable" as Jeeps are, they're insanely capable bone stock.
Smartest thing I did with my '17 JKUR was drive it bone stock for a full year before doing anything to it. The only issue I ever had was smacking a skid...
Just let me know Jordan...it'd be too convenient if you wanted to! PM me direct if you're interested.
Wheels look SICK too, that's exactly the color/look I'm gonna hit Discount Tire up for here shortly!
Best post in this thread! I hammer around in the desert as Jeep intended the Mojave to, yet for some inexplicable reason they left out the bed sliders and steel bumper. I plan on doing exactly as you have in addition to a low profile hitch slider (and a Rubi stubby steel bumper on the front)...
I have an all white Gladiator and I'm looking to see if anyone is interested in swapping out their black Freedom top/roof and (standard/unpainted) fenders for the white/body color parts I have. I have the LED lighting group so the fenders would likewise need to be similarly equipped. My...
Yes Sir, absolutely! Provided, of course, they are prepped correctly. Just like paint, the vast majority of the time there's an issue, it's in the application of the product and not the product itself.
I can't remember the exact sequence off the top of my pea brain at the moment, but the...
While getting additional performance out of a N/A V-6 via tuning, bolt-ons, etc. is do-able, the results are going to be relatively limited and there's no way around that. If you went big with heads, cam, forged bottom end and higher compression pistons you might as well slap a supercharger on...
Awesome thread and nicely done! No mall crawling for you, straight into the Jeep's natural environment...wherever there ISN'T pavement. SOLID build and supporting mods...a supercharger sure would help turn those 40s!
