I thought that was odd for someone to bash someone else in their build thread. It's not like we don't have a bunch of Rubicon vs Mojave sour grapes threads already. You should ask an admin if they would clean up this thread for you or delete it and let you start over.

Where has everyone been hiding the last few years? Mohave is about one inch higher in the front but the same in the back compared to the Rubicon. Approach angle should be better, but departure angle should be identical.

This reads like it was AI-generated. Anyway, yeah you're going to want some quick disconnects for the Mojave or you'll get beat up at slow speeds over rocky terrain.

But don’t most modern IFS vehicles have rack and pinion steering?

I prefer to blame it on Jeep since yes, my 2018 Power Wagon did not have any steering input delay. Do you have a unicorn JT that right off the lot had zero steering input delay at 80mph?

I’ve bought a new JK, JL, or JT almost every year since 2011, and right off the lot, they all have had varying degrees of steering input delay at 75-80mph. Even with the steering and suspension dialed in, we’re driving a brick down the highway on tires not designed solely for on-road use. Only...

Perfect, now you know you’re just trying to improve it a bit and don’t have to worry about masking an underlying suspension issue. For me, getting rid of the factory wheels and going to an 8.5” wide wheel that pokes out just a little from the fender made a big difference. Even on the Mojave, I...

You might want to test drive a new JT Sport just to compare your steering play. I wouldn't add the ATS 2.0 until you know for sure your steering play is normal.

It may take fewer clicks past center to get the same steering response with smaller tires. If I'm at 18 on 35" tires, you may find the same improvement at a lower setting (12 clicks being "center"). If you do order one, know that you'll need to order the old style Mopar steering stabilizer bolt...

From the factory, all JL/JT except the XR package vehicles have some play in the steering. It's no big deal at lower speeds, but on the interstate, it feels a bit like you're in a bobsled race in the Olympics, sliding back and forth in your lane. Steering input is slightly delayed due to the...

I used to own a '75 Ford with utility drawer bed that had a 3-speed manual on the column shifter that was more satisfying to drive. A '76 Beetle that was more satisfying. A 1997 VW GTI manual. A 1978 Dodge Power Wagon manual. A Korean War-era Weapons Carrier (joking). I could go on. Heck, even...

Simple ≠ Reliable Complex ≠ Unreliable I would love to have a manual trans in my Mojave. But Jeep would have had to deliver a manual trans that was heavy duty, bullet-proof, ideally-geared for both off and on-road driving, and satisfying to shift. They could have offered such an HD manual...

Exactly. I would want to hear from a JTD owner who tried the new grill in situations where they previously had trouble towing over high altitude mountain passes due to high engine temps.

Why aren’t diesel JT owners swapping in the 2024 grille which has improved airflow to see if they lower engine temps on long mountain passes? Besides the fact that they are ugly (the grille, not the owners). Airflow resistance in the engine bay was mentioned as a difficulty, as in where does...

Might as well write a mini review: Like doing the Apex quick disconnects, I continue to learn that doing even minor suspension modifications without a lift sucks, at least at my age. If I ever do another Fox stabilizer install, fuck that Fox axle bracket. I will do the Synergy relocation kit...

The change put the reservoir horizontal facing backward, which seems to fit. I have about a finger’s width of space between the reservoir and the axle. Edit: had to adjust the reservoir downward slightly after all. Once the bolts were tightened and torqued, the reservoir was just a bit too...

Ok, sorry for the fire drill. I was able to get enough torque applied to my hex wrench to get the mount to rotate. Not sure why they ship it in that orientation, but whatever.

It's the right part number according to Fox's website. And Fox's site has the same photo showing the wrong direction for the bolt holes. https://www.ridefox.com/product.php?m=truck&t=shocks&partnumber=983-02-148&make=Jeep&model=Gladiator+JT&year=2023&position=Stabilizer The head has a hex bolt...

I could not loosen the hex key bolt that holds it in place on the opposite side. The hex key wrench was bending. Might be held in with Loctite. It will probably come loose and allow reorientation with an impact wrench, but I need to be sure that's ok to do. I don't want to accidentally void the...

It's not the bracket that's the issue, it's the bolt holes on the shock that the bracket bolts to are not oriented in the correct direction.
