2024 Willys versus Mojave

[legacy_etu]

I suspect he just started moving into a brand new construction yesterday. Or else that photo was staged in an empty house with a for sale sign out front.

Trust me, owning a jeep - things will change.

Must be like you said....,.........although I've seen pictures on here from others with super clean garages. I have no idea how that happens........I always have stuff everywhere even with shelving and cabinets.

I love the blue, but this is a color the orange goes well with. Nicely done.

So this is a 2023 - are those the standard 2023 wheels?

Looking at the 2024s, I'd likely go with the optional wheels but man, another grand when Jeep is probably paying only 50 bucks a wheel over the standard Mojave wheels?

Anyway, it's a fact that no matter which way you went, it wasn't going to be a bad decision Both are good. This will let you take it out as is and get used to things before you decide on any changes. It's extremely capable as soon as you drive it out of the garage.

It’s a 24 but I think the sticker has rim upgrade. I’ll check later

My bad - I forgot that 2024 had two Mojaves (sp) available - the Mojave and then the Mojave X package.
I blew it forgetting you could get into a Mojave for less money if you didn't insist on certain options or things. Still as capable as any Mojave - good choice, honestly.

Am curious about the wheels in any case.

Enjoy that clean, empty garage while you can.

Those are the optional Mojave wheels for 2024. They have a little bit of a design change from the 2023 option, but not much. It's a good looking wheel.

2023 option

You should see what’s behind the camera. It’s not nearly as squared away as you’d think it is, even though I did just go on an insane cleaning and organizational spree on it a month ago or so. We still had a ton of construction materials everywhere in there we were walking around.

OK, the Jeep sites just make them look different because that outer area appears to be "filled" because the rim is showing through. So it's actually open. Looks good.
I have waffled on the looks of the stock vs. optional wheels since I first saw them on two different Mojaves on the lot.

This is how the Jeep sites make it look - you really have to look close or try to magnify an image to see the true shape and openness.

Thanks - that solves and resolved that question!
Can't get any more clear or perfect than that.

I wanted a rear locker and the aux switches but didn’t want to pay for the electronic package or whatever it’s called as we don’t need the heated seats and shit. I’m not gonna be jumping it or anything so the beefyness of the Mojave isn’t necessary for us.

I really wanted the Rubi but paying for all the extra shit when all I want is power locks, windows, and the lockers was a big turnoff. The only way that the Willy’s package could’ve been more perfect for us was if we could get a front locker too but can’t do that, so I settled for just the rear one of the Willys. Can’t wait to get it in, it’ll probably take forever to get over here though unfortunately

I have a 2024 Mojave X in the same color.
827 lb payload.

Holy crap.... 250lb less than my 21. How can the bumpers and some power seat motors reduce it that much? Also considering the springs are different which should have alleviated some of the payload 'loss' from the bumpers...

24... extra airbags etc.....man that is the lowest payload I've seen.

 

[Jaxmax]

I agree, my Mojave rating is 1129, I've added a lot to mine and staying under 1129 lbs. is a hard thing to do, and I run stock wheels and tires. Of course I'm looking at my recovery gear and my waistline, cutting some gear , but in the same breath I'm adding a better tire repair kit and a winch safety flag. Still thinking of a safe way to tell my lovely wife to loose weight.....Jack

LOL - seems like everyone concentrates on...........
Springs springs springs - that's not payload!
Springs have little to do with it.
You can't swap springs and change payload.
Payload is curb weight subtracted from GVWR.
The Mojave X is damned HEAVY.

The bumpers, the rock rails, the power seats, air bags, all the extra wiring, yeah, for sure.
Adding the front bumper and power steps to my Overland had a similar effect, so a Mojave X would end up with the same payload left as my modified Overland.

Take my overland at about 950 - subtract for the power steps (about the same as the rails on the Mojave X) and subtract for the front steep bumper and you end up about the same as a Mojave X - so the Mojave X is BETTER in that sense.

It's the lowest I've seen but if any Gladiator owner was really honest - their payloads would be less by the time they put 1500 pounds of stuff on their stock JT.

I'd have to lose weight to drive my family of 5 in a Mojave X. My 3 teenagers and wife are in shape! lol
