Another newbie intro

[TEAMSLO]

Picked up my Mojave last week, absolute newbie to anything other than asphalt. Went out with a group last Friday evening for a night run and to be honest, there were a handful of times I was scared sh*tless haha. The Gladiator can obviously do more than what I'm comfortable with right now.

My background is roadracing (2 and 4 wheel), moved to Vegas late last year but haven't ventured out to anywhere but pool halls. Learning the area along with getting dirty. Funny thing is all my past vehicles were spotless. Would carry detail spray and coth to wipe of any puddles I may have been through. Even washed my car 3x in a week once. But this weekend, strange feeling driving around a dirty jeep, didn't feel bad or embarassing, actually felt good haha.

Just a few basic items I picked up to get started: Rockblox, stubby (not pictured), all weather mats, interior organizers/pockets, auto deflators, patch kit, JL Mini.

Received: Method 313 titanium, 37" Baja Boss AT, 2" AEV spacer installing 10/22

Ordered:
VIAIR, ACE sliders

Wishlist:
Spare tire carrier, mopar rail system, and many other items

Isn't that the truth... I purchase the mojave to limit other purchases but now I'm several thousand into it with ownership of less than a week.

As you've found out, the vehicle is very capable in stock form. So go slowly and wisely.

I'll be real honest..... that morning, we had no intention of getting a Jeep anything. I went in to Lexus to get a new battery under warranty, then took the wife to lunch.

During lunch mentioned, what about a gladiator? Her response was no, but she was willing to go take a look. While eating, I was googling gladiators and then researching the difference between a rubicon and mojave since i had no clue.

Mojave fit more of what I wanted so off we went. Once she saw it in person, she was hooked. Explained that we could pull a small enclosed trailer with the dirt bikes, also, pick up her sh*t from damn IKEA as well. That sealed the deal haha.

A week later, here I am with a living room full of boxes, emails with orders, cant even remember which companies I ordered what from.
