Hey friends, I know this is a zombie thread but now, but I did want to follow up in case anyone pulls this up or has a similar issue. I had the winch cables routed as previously mentioned in this thread for the past year and had no issues with heat, vibration, etc.. and while close, it was not...

Hopefully dropping the pentastar, or dropping in a Hemi! C'mon now, we all know it is going to be another sticker/appearance package. Would be nice if it was a recon package offering 35's, appropriate gearing and some trail cams. We shall see!!! Until then, speculation. Gotta run, I think...

I have a '23 Mojave, and opted for a Rock Hard Full width aluminum bumper with lowered winch plate. (RH-90245) No appreciable difference in ride quality. My justification was saving some weight with the aluminum bumper, and then adding some back in with a Badlands 12k winch. Watch the bolt...

Midland radios: Mxt275 (15w micromobile) - $125 GXT 1000 pair of handhelds - $61 Supposedly Midland is also running a 20% off sale on select item for their "deal days" I scooped up a micro mobile as it seems like a good deal.

It sits about 1/4" above, but it could use another zip tie to keep it further away as it is really close. Not sure how hot power steering gets, but I can imagine it would be hotter than that cable would like.

If the anchor, the operator is typically in the vehicle with With the hood up, if the line broke and flew back, the hood would theoretically take the hit and not go through the windshield. Hopefully the line dampers, use of synthetic line and best practice of going hook latch up would prevent...

No, I just routed the cables up on the backside between the air box and battery. No need to do anything with the air box. It may make it easy to drop something down like another cable, or cable fish rod from the top and then fish the cable up. Just be sure it stays away from any rotating or...

Okay, these are the mounting bolts for the winch in the underside: Then this is the routing I took with my cables using several zip ties to secure it on the way up (follow the black corrugated cable... Than can use the belt pulley on the top center/right of photo for reference). Be sure to...

No problem. A 3/8" drive is about the biggest that will fit for those bolts. I had a 3/8" torque wrench from harbor freight I picked up for cheap on sale. It does the job and I realize there is probably better out there but for as often as I use it .. Anyways, I routed the cable along the...

For longer winch mounting bolts, bulldog winch has a kit containing four M10 x 40mm grade 5/8.8 bolts. There are several online retailers that stock it. It is their products BDW20180 https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Bulldog-Winch/BDW20180.html I also use bolt depot to find any...

I did almost the same thing you did, and it is a deep, time consuming rabbit hole! My wife was laughing as I also have a green Mojave with the exact same setup, and she asked if this was the past me 😂. But that is why we have these forums- to share experience, learn and hopefully save someone...

I had the same issue with the exact setup, except I have the full width bumper..... the solution is M10 x 40MM 8.8 bolts. They are the perfect size for the thicker Aluminum plus the support plates. My Ace Hardware did not have them in 40MM length, but yours may differ. I also sometimes source...

Congrats on the new ride - we love our Mojave and have taken it offroad several times. If you wanted a little taste of offroading I highly recommend signing up for a Jeep Adventure Academy course. You get a guided beginner's course and they teach you how and when to use your equipment, go over...

5.7v8, or I-6. A powerplant with feeling. I think they missed the mark here.

I think it is awesome. My wife likes it. Drives very well with the suspension and longer wheelbase. Great for me as a daily driver, plenty of room in the cabin for the family and room for luggage in the back. Everyone is comfortable on road trips. It doesn't give the flip about crappy...

I have a tyger T1 soft cover from Amazon, and I would recommend it. I think it is a steal. We have done several road trips going through heavy rains and it just gets a few drops in. Most recently I had to report into work and drove in the beginning of hurricane Beryl. Once at work, it sat...

I have a '23 Mojave and typically see 16-19 mpg. On long road trips I've seen 19-20 at best. Everything is stock with tonneau cover and I have bed mounted cross bars with a bike rack.

Excellent!!! Yeah we did the full snake trail... The first 3/4 was easy and the last 1/4 was a little technical (at least for a beginner like me). Thankfully another glady was behind us and we took turns spotting. (It was a nice couple from Florida) I'd recommend looking at the Jeep Adventure...

I'm also interested in an aluminum front bumper for my Mojave to keep the weight off.. The Rock Hard seems like a good option with the integrated skid plate and shackle attachment points. It being aluminum, would it deform if using the attachment points, or deform easily if impacted? Does...

The fam and I planned a trip to Hot Springs the 19-22nd. Weather looks to be wet, but thought I'd check in and see if anyone else might be in the area as it is fun wheeling with others. We were going to revisit the off-road park, but will be doing light trails due to weather and the fact the...
