I waited 1 year before doing any mods - Just added Rock Hard Steel Rear bumper (love how it adds bedside protection that we're missing on Mojaves) and Aluminum front bumper with lowered winch plate.
It fits just fine - the rock hard even comes with extra spacers to push the bumper out an extra bit to deal with the apex wiring coming straight out the back (into your grill).
The bumper has a built in skid plate that covers the Mojave reservoirs. Not sure why everyone (myself included) was so worried about losing the factor skid - got to shed some more weight!
FWIW and YMMV, but I just used a 25% off on the Apex Badlands Winch and HF took it. Cannot be combined with sale price, but 25% off is better than the sale price.
That's what I'm going with... already have the mid/lowered bumper and just got my 25% HF coupon, so tomorrow I'll be picking up the winch.
Have you watched the Install video on Rock Hard?
Ha - I just read that before coming over here and I can totally identify. I swore I'd leave the Mojave stock, but I'm flirting with the AEV lift, bigger tires - but how big? Then comes gearing, and then I start doing the math and come back to staying stock. Well not exactly true... I want to...
