2024 Willys versus Mojave

[AstroZombie]

Not by my measuring those on a lot here. Same as Rubicon.
In fact, the sill measurements, door opening sill where sill guards might be placed, is roughly the same as my Overland and I have only a 1.25" lift on it.
My Overland stands about the same as a Rubicon with my springs and rear spacer.
Not sure where the 1" comes from, but it's not frame to ground, or pinch weld of the body to ground, etc.
I was curious as to whether or not I could use my snow plow and current mounting brackets on a Mojave and determined - yeah, I could, because it's almost the same height as my Overland sits currently.

maybe he is referring to the fenders. The 2024 Willys will have the higher fender flares now right? Just like the Mojave and Rubi's

no, standard fenders on Willy’s.

Bummer the Wrangler Willy does in 2024 i think.

yeah. That would shrink the lead for the mojave more too for me.

Fender flares are cheap and easily replaced.

Yeah, but that’s more investment in the Willy’s that I get standard on the Mojave. I’m trying to rationalize the Willy’s over the Mojave, mostly. Make that 12k, which is really 5-6k, wider to make the Willy’s make more sense. Ultimately I think I’ll end up Mojave though.

The 2024 Mojave Xs keep calling me, I keep turning my hearing aids down..........
Gotta get done paying for our radioactive kitty's treatment, and my hospital and ambulance bills. That's scary.

From a 2024 Mojave X. Maybe the metallic paint has something to do with it?
860 pounds payload. It's a heavy truck

I have a 2024 Mojave X in the same color.
827 lb payload.
This Gladiaor weighs more than my 2016 GMC Canyon did.

This is a regular Mojave for comparison in case someone reads through this later.

Lose too much weight on the X for me. They’re pretty though. And yeah those seem much more pressing if you’re already in the community.

Ok, so I have found out this is a dangerous exercise for me seeing the big screen and LED headlights are standard now on Mojaves!!
Ok so looking through the options and standards on your three options, the Blue Mojave is $10,690 more and the Anvil Mojave is $8700 more then the Willys. The Blue one has mud tires $495,Park sense safety group $1295, and the Jeep trail Kit ($200) and both Mojaves have the upgraded machined wheels at $1,000.
The Willys does have aux switches and gorilla glass in the Willys package.
So the Anvil is closer to what the Willys has and is $8700 more, but might neeed to throw a Voswitch aux switch system
In say for $600, so $9300. None have leather seats so drop that for now. Daily driver and light trails you don’t need the mud tires, I can always hear the Willys coming up on me with little mud tires!
Perhaps you should go to Jeep website and build exactly what you want and sit down with your dealer a see what an ordered one costs…just saying!
As for me I am out of this conversation just thinking about LED headlights, large display screen …..oh boy, gotta go!!!

It's more about me "overbuying" instead of saving money on stuff I would never benefit from. I think in my head the Mojave is 'purpose built' and since I don't have desert around here, it seems I'll never accomplish it's "purpose" From what I've seen it appears it does pretty fine offroading, and I can add on a front locker and sway bar disconnect one day if I get serious about offroading.

You can always decide on which one you can get the deeper discounts on. You can get a '24 Willy's with bed liner and hard top, buy some really nice suspension components(that would let you choose your own ride quality) for a 3" front, 1" rear lift, pick out your own wheels and tires, and still be 6K less than a Mojave. I wouldn't be afraid of running light 35's on the Willy's 3.73's, but anything taller than that, 4.10's on Mojave would be much better. They're both very nice trucks, Mojave rides like a Cadillac, it just has very expensive things most people will never need or even use.

Yeah this is my exact perspective. I think it would be a good bit less than 6k difference after you account for parts plus labor, although I'd do most of it myself. Wheels/tires I have picked out alone are 4k, for example. I have expensive tastes. But that's part of the psychology for me on the Mojave. One and done. I walk off the lot with exactly what I want. I may not be free and clear on payments that day, but I would be within the year, and that seems like it's fair enough.

Unfortunately I'm locked into getting a vehicle now, and I just missed out on the flash sale. Bad timing, but so goes life. The 24's are nice, I prefer them anyway. I agree with you the features are nothing I'd ever -need-... but maybe I will? I would then have a purpose to find a way to make them a need, haha.

Ultimately my wifes vehicle started having issues today, and I don't have one right now, so it's about to be get the Mojave or get a color in the Willys I don't necessary want (the Hydro Blue is coming in 1-2 weeks, not on the lot yet). I'd rather just get what i want.

Unless you love factory wheels and cheap 32" tires, better add that 4K to the price of Mojave as well.
