I'll go take some pics. Rear view is fine... Can see easily through rear cap window. Definitely a limit on blindspots visibility, a couple feet out from rear quarter panels while sitting in driver's seat. Keep in mind I have the cap with metal sides, not glass, so I knew that was going to be a...
Sorry I missed your response, but thanks! I should have taken measurements of the OEM vs ARB bumpers, but didnt do that. The rear bumper appears to have the same ground clearance as stock, and is a bit longer from front to back. The silver step plate under license plate offers good footing...
I dont have a good way to jack it up evenly at home, but I am happy to take pics all around if you don't mind that angle. Any particular things you looking for other than the suspension and steering components? I will wait a couple hours because its arctic cold out right now, but should be...
Looks like the thread kinda died after the series of follow up questions about the rack fitment and size. I havent pulled the trigger on my rack yet, but after the last month of wheeling, I am getting desperate and need something. Hope we can get @Oak to chime in.
This is my sentiment exactly. Told my wife this Mojave is staying with me for the duration... I have a lot of runway left, so I am sure it will not be my primary driver forever, but it damn sure will be in my garage.
Wanted to chime in as well. I have owned multiple Jeeps, CJs, TJs, JKs, JLs, and now the JT Mojave. I see a lot of complaints, and I am sure I will run into a problem at some point, but this is by far my favorite Jeep product. I haven't been active on the forums following my Mojave...

Let me know if you have any questions.
This is accurate. The tires went from smaller OEM 33's to larger Toyo 35's, on factory wheels. This accounts for the extra lift. Honestly I was expecting the weight of the new bumpers, winch, cap, etc to offset some of that lift, but those Metalcloak springs are heavy duty and barely budged :)
Well, I finally got around to taking some pics of phase 1 completion. 2023 Mojave 3.6, added:
Metalcloak 2.5" Gamechanger (with stock shocks)
Metalcloak tie rod
Metalcloak HD drag link
Fox ATS Steering stabilizer
RSI Smartcap
ARB Full length Bondi front bumper and skid plate
ARB Full length...
Forgot to answer regarding Fabtech. Not sure about backorder, they were certainly not in stock when I was researching, but I was thoroughly convinced metalcloak was the solution I was looking for so didn't pursue fabtech much beyond initial research
Yes on the shock extensions....I was a bit nervous about extensions, but no issues so far. The rear is quite firm with those Metalcloak springs. I only have a couple hundred miles on them, 75% which is pavement, but today I did make it out to a trail and was impressed. I will keep you posted.
Well, I figured I would close the loop on this thread now that my upgrades are complete. I went with the Metalcloak 2.5" Gamechanger lift (using OEM Mojave shocks). Also upgraded steering with Metalcloak HD drag link and tie rod, with the Fox ATS steering stabilizer. As mentioned before...
