Driving on winter roads with spots of ice and snow it is great, we use it in heavy rain also, in deep show it is not better than standard 4WD. Driving around a curve hitting some snow , you might be grabbing your steering wheel instead of the 4WD lever on floor. The dealers probably don't order...
I have a switch panel on dash that is wired to be always on , with a Voswitch switch panel to turn it all off, currently hooked to main battery but thinking of other options along with adding at least a 100 watt rubber mat solar panel on top of Cap. I control the air compressor, ARB fridge, cap...
Bill we al know what you are doing, sure it is all about your wonderful wife....cut it out, you are getting an awesome Rubicon in the garage and your master plan it to "have" to drive it in bad weather because it is so much more capable! I failed in getting a reign Wrangler for my wife, but then...
I use a set of Dana cast covers the ribs are sort of a ramp that I feel will help guide diff up and over. I got the covers for free from a member blasted and painted with Steelit paint. The orange reflector was just me being anal and having to put something where the name plate used to be. When...
I don't have one but that combo might be the most common setup on this forum! Great winch no postings of any problems with it, about cheapest winch you will find on sale. Things you need to be aware of going in, might have to trim the frame horns a little, might have to trim a little off the...
Good plan on the 4,000 , Gladiator tows the camper great and we have been up some good hills, Weight of my camper after A/C and options added was 3100 pounds, and we try and travel with low tank level in fresh water.....Jack
Tandem tows better, less prone to sway, better recovery from a flat tire, BUT after years of towing tandems my current camper is a Gulfstream Vista Crusier 19ERD which is 24 feet long and a single axle, GVWR 4100 camper set up correctly with blue OX sway pro and it tows great. I looked at a...
I just got an ARB fridge from a member here, and am planning on mounting it on top of drivers side wheel well as I also have a cap and it will easily be reached through side window or rear of bed. Building a bed with slide out kitchen on other side but going to make it all removable as why haul...
Not sure why the Mojave is the only Desert Rated, has actually hurt the trim level as people think it is only for going fast in the desert, but it is also good for jumping railroad tracks and speed bumps at speed! Jeep used to have apparel desert rated, why the hell would they sell a sweatshirt...
I also painted my Mojave skid black mainly because I put a front hitch on and had to cut a pretty big square hole and it showed up when silver, but disappeared when painted, I sanded the skid a lot, all around drilled drain holes larger in corner , but my paint job is starting to get nicked...
Bill, I am going through the same thing with my wife who loves her 2019 Sahara blue one but Blue was on the lot and she didn't want to order, she saw a reign 4XE at our dealer and I checked it out, was pretty nice my salesman offered a guess at what we would get in trade and it was pretty great...
I like the bumper, it is a very light , low cost option you still need a winch plate with factory steel bumper. I was driven by weight also, hence why I went with a small drum winch that all in weighed 54lbs., there are pretty many guys that have all done it differently, with different winches...
Ordered the plug in Warn wireless remote, I like it small, plugged it in under hood and it worked fine and I was pretty far away about sixty feet , so no problem with the steel Mojave hood blocking signal. I can unplug it and store in the glove box until I head out or need it, can’t bounce out...
Pat and I are up for it, have to check on Grandson’s soccer tournament in Harrisburg , not sure what day or weekend it is. Have not been off-road in woods much, did do RC last get together and it was great.
Stock Mojave will be good, I am at stock height with factory AT tires and did great. I...
The Mojave has everything the Max Tow package has, the wide axles, the HD alternator, the same hitch receiver, 4.10 gears, but it also has taller springs for lift , larger wider tires, and a much softer suspension, the stiff progressive Max Tow springs help with the much higher payload and...
Running unloaded perhaps drop a pound or two for kicks and see how it responds, the Overland should be about the best for on road ride, I think…..Jack
Bumble Bee can you change your signature so we can see what your wife has done to her ride, she has a really nice jeep and yours is ok also...Jack
PS: My wife has a wrangler also, when I asked if she would like to get something else her reply was no I like Jeeps, but the dealer has a limited...
