Building a Mojavicon: Adding Lockers and Swaybar to a Mojave

[RyderGear]

All the electronics are doing is supplying a "constatnt" 12v signal to an electromagnet which will hold the slider open. You can do the same thing with your own switch and relay. Might not have the fancy integration but it'll work from the cab. Elockers are similarly the same deal, a switch and a relay and you are good to go.

On the OEM deployement the system is looking for transfercase range and applicable ground speed to shunt the disco constant and engage the bar, ie transiting from trail to trail on highway etc. In application it would see a shift to 2wd and lock the bar but a drop into 4wd again would unlock it again without additional action. Speed is same same; go too fast in 4wd and the bar locks but slow down and it will unlock.

Unpopular opinion, on occassion I wish I had the front locker on a wheel mounted momentary switch as conditions don't typically mind a locked rear, I generally only need a locked front when I need it and not a moment more. Part two is I kinda wish I had the same on the bar as my typical terrain has moments where you need tire contact on opposite side of opposite axles and articulation is only making it harder but... these are limited cases and conditions but a yoke style with triggers would be helpful in the moment.

All true, I more meant how would you integrate the E-sway bar into the OS, and the answer is the same as my Front Air locker... you don't/can't... It makes sense that a constant 12v signal from any switch would work, same as after market lights etc... You just have to be mindful of when you are engaged and when you are not. Personally I like the manual control that I have. My friends with Rubi's tell me they find it annoying that while wheeling the sway bar re-engages at 25 mph (or 35 i forget) and they are constantly unlocking it when we slow for obstacles. Then again I will say I once forgot to lock my manual disconnects and while taking a highway turn at 85 mph, definately noticed the lack of sway bar counterforce. So there are pros and cons. But overall I absolutely LOVE my MOJAVICON. Putting it to the full test this week. Running the RUBICON Trail starting Friday

I really like all the updates to the Mojave, but still want the OEM sway bar disconnect and front locker.

What are the chances, the wiring harness is the same? Also, wondering if the fox reservoir location would impede the installation of the OEM swaybar disconnect.

Items needed?

• Sway bar $1500 https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/front-disconnect-sway-bar-jl-gladiator-jt-68251037AC
• Front Locker and Actuator $610 off eBay
• Rubicon Locker Switch $85 https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/l...tch-jeep-wrangler-jl-and-gladiator-jt-rubicon

that button you had must be the old jl switch,
JT RUBICON has offroad button
i wonder what the part number is for it though
here is the pic

Ask @AllMoparParts.com .

have you considered SwayLoc over the factory rubicon sway bar setup??

I ran this on our JK- it is better from a performance perspective.

I have a swayloc on order for my Mojave. And a front e locker.

I’m running 37’s at 6,000’ altitude. No issues and I get 20 miles per gallon. Save your money. As a matter of fact, buy a Rubicon and put remote reservoir shocks on it. There, saved you thousands, and you have a better Mojave.

20 mpg? Hmmmm

You still interested in doing this? The Rubicon smart sway bar WILL integrate into the OS for the Mojave using a Rubicon switch system. I just did this project and it works great. PM me and I can walk you through it.

My Mojavicon is way better and more capable than any rubijave can ever be!

I built my MOJAVICON 2 years ago and I LOVE IT!

This was the first thing I thought of when I read about the Mojave! Add the swaybar and front locker... and if the transfer case gearing isn't low enough for the wheeling I do, then throw in a Rubicon case too. I suspect it's easier to do this than to take a Rubicon and swap in the stronger frame, front steering knuckles, hydraulic bump stops, etc.

Run the rubicon till parts break and upgrade.
