1 Week In

[SC Doberman]

So I’ve had my Mojave for 1 week now and thought I’d give a quick review.
The Ride - Completely what I expected from a flat sided vehicle with mud tires. Yes it drifts and get blown all over by passing cars but let’s face it, if you’re looking for the ride of a 2050 Cadillac Escalade with Hover mode then you’ve bought the wrong vehicle.
Cabin Noise - Yep it’s noisy but again, it’s a block on wheels. I will be investing in the Hot Heads Liners to try and tame it as much as possible.
Sound System - Even with the upgraded sound system the speakers are mediocre. Could be better.
Apple Car Play - Wish it was wireless.
Gas mileage - So far average 17mpg. It’s what I expected.

Overall I freakin’ love this vehicle! So there’s my little review. ?

Tomorrow I'm three weeks in on my JTR - agree with your review and assessment. I installed the Hot Heads w/Sound Assassin today. It made a tremendous difference in cabin sound, you won't regret it.

Have you checked your tire pressure since buying it?

Install a headliner and get the wireless adapter for CarPlay and check your tire pressure that’ll solve most of your problems

What tire pressure do you recommend?

What tire pressure do you recommend?

General consensus is a “chalk test” which you may need to google. Factory calls for 36-38 I believe which is usually a little on the high side. Fine line between tread wear/ride/mpg.

If they are the factory tires it is listed on the door jam

They are. I'll check.....

You're gonna love it even more after you check your pressure. Off the lot it was driving like an international hauling a trailer. After letting some air out it tracks straight as can be.

I've been running mine at 36-38 cold and seems to be a good place. They came from the dealership at like 41-42.

Yep, mine came with 41 psi. Door sticker says 37. Pressure adjusted. We’ll see…

Mine was at 41, dialed back to 37 and made a difference. It's a Jeep Factory Thing ™ evidently - my wife's JLU was received off of the factory truck and we took delivery pretty much as fast as possible. Driving home it was all the freaking over the place - checked pressure and it was 43. No idea why they do that.

For the ride on the car carrier.

That will make a surprisingly large difference. I had my Wave oil change just before we left for the coast, the dang dealer had the 315/70R17's at 38-39. We were trying to beat traffic so my wife just drove through it - we joked it reminded us of why we named our truck Tigger (boucy bouncy).

First winery stop, I hopped out and SpeedFlated down to 34 PSI. Completely different ride comfort experience on surface streets, much calmer demeanor on the freeway. Problem solved, until the next oil change.
