I chose the Mojave because I thought it looked the best, has a great suspension and rear locker for anything I plan to do with it. Also I only compared it with the rubicon and with same tires on both, the Rubicon wandered mucho at highway speed, was much more clunky on road imperfections than...
My comments about the strengthened frame of the Mojave model came from Motor Trend reviews and several comparisons done by a dealer who sells both Rubicon and Mojave Gladiators.
Bought this used last year with 6500 miles. Previous owner did some mods including bedliner and that same material on grill and fenders. I love that & grateful he had done it. Iāve added Mopar mats, and decided just last week to change my wheels to Fuel Beast wheels.
It didnāt say the Rubicon canāt lockup the rear. The gear ratio on the Mojave, stronger frame, steel knuckles, springs and shocks together allow the Mojave to be at higher speed in 4high. Iāve driven and ridden a particular wash board area I hunt with 4Runner, FJ, and my Mojave. Night and day!
