When choosing between Mojave and Rubicon, I drew upon my experience with JKU Rubi's and the JT max tow. I found the 2.72 transfer case to be better for my use on Nevada hunting trails, and appreciate the Mojave upgrades to frame, knuckles, shocks, seats, steering wheel. I figure if I later...
Get the shop to guarantee the thickness of the liner they will spray. Some places spray it thinner to save money. And, I agree with the above posts that spray-in liners, whether Line-X, Rhino, etc. are the way to go.
I used these bolts

with flanged nuts and the stock pressed nuts in the factory bracket

Mine did not have any loctite but were tight. The factory really tightened some of them and either almost cross threaded them or the threads in the nuts were tighter than normal spec. I put high pressure chassis grease on the threads when re-installing the bolts. My daughter's JK had...
If you don't have max tow, the diff is narrower and I would recommend a narrower 33" like the 255-80-17. I have them in Falken AT3W and prefer them to the wider stock Mojave tires.
I have used a metal-working chisel that has the cutting end blunted to hammer a crimp, and then solder using rosin core solder and a propane torch for heavy cables. I use the size connector that is as close as possible to the actual wire diameter--which sometimes says it is for 6 gauge (as an...
Those brackets also need to be properly adjusted so the freedom tops are tight enough that they don't leak. Plastic trim panels need to be flexed out of the way or removed to install the brackets.
After two Rubi's I found that I preferred the 2.72 to 1 transfer case. 4:1 was too low for the trails I use. I like the Mojave frame, knuckles, seat bolsters, steering wheel, suspension/shocks. If I wanted to do a lot of rock crawling, I would choose a 2-door Wrangler. As others posted, if...
Yep, my manual is in its wrapper also. I do refer to my downloaded copy fairly often. Good info about features such as offroad+ etc. As for plywood, I have a Ram and a utility trailer. . .
