Glad to see my 3 year old post finally got some love! I ended up buying a 22 JT Mojave and love it. I am firmly convinced it would dominate the Stock class, especially with the unique gearing in 4-Lo. Keep in mind that in RallyX you rarely go over 20 mph (at least in my neck of the woods where...
Now that I look closer, I'm not sure they are the same. The Mojave ones have a "step assist" profile that is also made to deflect sand, but I think the Rubi's are more oval shaped and would fit into that cut-out in the Wethertech ones. Am I over thinking this? (Full disclosure, my Mojave is...
So dumb question, but is the factory Mopar "rock sliders" the same between the Rubicon and Mojave? Asking because I'm considering both the RokBloks (will I need cutout?) and Weather-Tec (which according to JerseyMark will fit fine, but there are distinct cutouts for the Rubicon rails):
I've used Costco buying services several times. The deals you get are different based on the vehicle's brand and supply/demand, and you have to go to very specific dealers. And some dealers are unwilling to honor the discounts on certain models, or only offer it on what is on the lot, so...
Ordered a black Mojave, fully loaded, just before Xmas and received a VIN this week! Dealer said to expect it Feb or March, but we'll see. He also said that the floor mats (of all things) are on back order so if you order the Gladiator with the Mopar mats, the put the build on hold until they...
And I think the MOPAR tube it actually larger in diameter and has less resonance chambers, resulting in more efficient (but louder) intake function at high RPMs. Possibly marginally better MPGs and a nice intake noise are the end results, butI think it doesn't really net any difference in power...
And for those of us who have 4Auto, now you know what that exists. I'm an AWD enthusiast coming from Subarus, Audis, and AWD Jeeps and I can tell you that it has saved my but many times in a changing conditions environment. I'd be careful of putting it in 4Hi and forgetting about it once it...
Totally agree - the Raptor and the Mojave are not comparable. The discussion should always be TRX vs Raptor and leave it at that. The Mojave is really, as you said, a competitor to the Ranger Raptor, Tacoma TRD Pro, and a few others.
But I still think that anyone who reviews the Mojave in its...
One of my favorite online car shows did a great real-world review of the Mojave. He seemed to like it but he complained about being too expensive and needing more power, just as everyone else does. So is it just me, or should everyone doing high speed trails run their Mojaves in 4Lo since it...
On a related note, what is up with the MOPAR performance intake? I've seen the videos and it I can't exactly see how it is different than the stock upper intake box and tube? Other than the cool graphics, of course. What am I missing? And has anyone actually dynoed it? Because I can't see it...
I come from the Audi and Subaru world (but now Jeeps) where lots of people do track days, but there is also a healthy off-road racing community running Rallies, or for those of us without a six-figure budget, Rally-cross. This is an event where you run against other people in your class (front...
Is there a display in the dash that shows the transfer of power to the front wheels? Some other FCA products do that when available with full time AWD.
Yup, coming from a daily Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel, that no short commute thing is a PITA. Last week, I had to drive around on the highway for a solid 1/2 hour AFTER I reached my destination because I haven't been driving much since COVID. It finally cleared the alert after a thorough regen...
There was also something I remember seeing during a press piece on the Gladiator where the guy said the engine has 285hp but it was tuned for more low end torque for better off-road performance. I'd be curious to see dyno graphs of different versions of the engine.
It is all in the name of preventative maintenance. Typically the front tires will wear faster due to their greater role in braking, and they will wear on the outsides more than the rears will due to scrubbing while turning. So by moving switching them up you get longer life overall rather than...
Funny enough, I was driving the diesel Grand Cherokee around doing errands yesterday and I think the limited driving during COVID has been brutal on the engine. I kept getting the dreaded "Exhaust filter almost full, please drive at highways speeds during regen" pop up on my dash. I could only...
