2024 Mojavicon to be

[FL Robert]

I'm doing a Rubijave. Just installed Mojave shocks on my Rubicon. Also added a 1" Teraflex front spacer.

Awesome! Two different roads to get to the same place.

I'm building a Rubave! For me the parts of the Mojave I want are the better shocks, the iron knuckles, and the reinforced frame. Since I started with a Rubicon the frame is not likely to happen.

I replaced the stock Fox shocks with Fox Series 2.5. The iron knuckles are in the future, I'm waiting to see how these aluminum things hold up. I'm not jumping it or hopping on rocks, maybe I'll be fine.

I like that I have a sway bar disconnect, front locker, and the 4:1 transfer case. I've also added a 1-1/2" lift, 35" Nitto's, a winch, and some lighting. My off road use is not extreme, but I do drive fast. Slow but sure progress...

I've started following your build and I'm interested to see where it goes!

If you have lifted the front higher than 1" you will need shock extenders when going with the Mojave Fox shocks. I tried to go 1.5" spacer on the front and the shocks wouldn't reach. I wondering if I still need extenders with the 1" spacer. Shocks might be topping out.

With 1" of lift you're still well within the bypass zone, so you're fine. Here's a graphic I made a while back of the shock zone specs. See my post history for more if you're interested.

So..... I kind of put the Gladiator project on hold to work on other projects. I have been doing a few projects on the Mojavicon as time permits, so I will post a little more.

I pulled up all the carpet and installed KilMat and Armorlite flooring. Pro Tip: Let the Armorlite sit in the sun while you pull out the carpet to get a little more flexibility during installation.

PS. It took just less than 1 box of KilMat to complete the whole project. I bought 2 boxes so I have 1 box up for sale. It's too heavy to ship but 1/2 price if you are local to Stuart, FL.

I would be curious about before and after decibel reading inside the cab.

I would be curious about before and after decibel reading inside the cab.

Too late for that as I did not take a "before" reading. I will say to my ear, the ROAD noise is almost 100% eliminated. That being said, the wind noise of driving a brick at hwy speeds partially negated the sound deadening of the road noise. Prior to the install I noticed that when having the stereo volume at a reasonable level for city driving, I could not hear it at all and would need to turn it up significantly to hear it at hwy speeds. Now I can hear it at hwy speeds, but do need to turn it up just a little to enjoy it.
