Eaton just launched a Plug-n-Play one wire E locker for the Mojave that is a direct bolt in. Part number 14234-1 cost is $1,279

I will let you know how it goes, 5:13 and install kit should be here tomorrow with an ETA of 11/15 on the E Locker install scheduled for the second week of December.

I went the opposite way and built a rubicojave - just added the shocks. Fixes the under damped shock issue the rubicon has - especially in the rear. No plans to jump it so not worried about the frame (and I tow with it so want the higher rating) - the shocks are a definite upgrade and lifted the rear a bit. Only a matter of time before jeep make a mojavicon, and I'd bet it'll have the mojave frame, shocks and axles with rubi lockers, sway disconnect and armor. Only question is what will they call it?

Maybe they will call it the Hercules. Especially if they put the in-line six hurricane engine

That's not a Mohavicon! It's a RubihalfAss eh?

Just read all 8 pages of this thread and didn't see if the rubi sway bar will fit in a Mojave. I am looking to gut a rubi sway bar and use the evo manuel disconnect. Is this possible as a simple sway bar swap? Thanks for any input.

Post below indicates that you can. I went the easy route and got the Apex Autolynx disconnect. Easy to install and serves the same purpose. https://www.apexdesignsusa.com/products/autolynx-sway-bar-disconnect

I was eyeing those but trying to save some money. I found a rubi bar for 100 and evo part for 100 so saves 250

Thats fair, but the rubi one is electronic. how are you hooking up the electronics?

You gut the sway bar of electronics and install the EVO manual switch.

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.
