I would opt for the Mojave. I didnt want to spend then. But as almost all my wheeling is sand or beach the Mojave would have been a better starting point. But only if I could pay 2020 prices. I'm out in today's crazy market

If I were doing it over I would skip the Mojave, get a willy's or a sport or something and put a nice lift kit on it. The mojave suspension is cool and all but it isnt life changing or anything. It is loud as hell in the winter with all its noises. I would have gotten adaptive cruise and heated seats. I would have also considered the diesel.
Leitner rack - love it.
softopper / datin fab cage - very meh. the cage kinda sucks and you cant fold the softopper down with it. lose/lose.
I would have skipped my 3rd hand baja boss m/t's (my friend bought them from someone because he wanted the wheels, I bought them because i liked the tires.) They are very picky on psi and loud for what they are.

y have not R&D the Gladiator.
Is there a market for springs and shocks with all the other manufacturers currently? IDK, maybe they feel the market is flooded and there isn't that many JT
Yeah you know OME seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. It almost even seems like the products they have for the TJ, which I want, were built 10 years ago and still just sitting on a shelf somewhere. Seems odd to me anyway

Overall, I love my mods. The main thing I would’ve done differently is buying a full lift kit all together vs piecing together over time. I also would’ve gone straight to 3.5” lift and 37s.

What I would buy again:

- Metal Cloak control arms & track bars
- Fox 2.5 DSCs
- Synergy Tie Rod and Drag link
- LOYO headlights, tail lights, & fender lights
- Baja Design Squadron Sport
- Tyger Tonneau Cover
- Stubby antenna
- Hothead Headliners
- Lasfit LED reverse light bulbs (HIGHLY recommend)

What I wouldn’t buy again:

- 33s (but the Wildpeaks were awesome)
- 35s (my Kenda AT2s are also awesome but no 37s offered except RT and MT products)
- Quadratec Pre-runner lights (too bright)
- Barricade Rubi Rails (minimal protection)

Every thing else I bought was meh, could do with or without.
