Good morning.
you have a nice collection. Did you get the towing package on the jt?

does full width Dana 60’s mean like f350 differentials?

I put the dynatrac Dana 60’s in my tj with v/8 swap. I think they were the narrowest diff they offered. With super swamper SX. 38”. They still stick out of the flares a good amount.

Nice TJ!

The JT build sheet lists "Trailer Tow Package" and "Class IV Receiver Hitch" under the optional equipment heading. The sxs and trailer weigh about 3200lbs fully loaded.

The LJ front axle is a 70" wide Fusion4x4 kingpin D60 and the rear is a 69" wide ECGS D60. Both have ARB lockers and chromoly axles. There's basically no tire coverage in the front with the low-profile tube fenders; the back has 8" wide steel plate/tube fenders that keep the mirrors alive on gravel roads... mostly

traded my 2 door JLR for this... JTR and immediately installed a 3.5 lift on black Friday.

After 4 different Wrangler builds some 4 doors (JK, JL) some 2 doors (TJ, JL)
I found a truck I like and want for my next Adventure... Glad to stay with Jeep and now part of the Gladiator Crew

I kept my old wheels & tires, added AEV geometry correction brackets, teraflex 3.5 lift kit with HD trackbar plus Fox shocks (piggyback res. rear) for now. Might sell the Frontrunner rooftop tent rack and buy a winch....

Cheers

So my gladiator rubicon didn’t come with tow package. But being it’s a rubicon it has 4.10 gears, wider heavy duty Dana 44’s and lockers. I’m adding front and rear receiver hitches. Yours has..,,

What matters is what Fan did you get. Get under the front bumper and look up at the cooling fan, in the center does it say it's a normal 600watt, or the 800watt, the 800watt fan is the "heavy duty cooling" the rest is the same

Max Tow and tow package are two different setups. Not every Max Tow came with the trac-lok.

Good morning!

I'm new to Gladiators but not Jeeps in general. Just picked up a 2023 Mojave to add to the fleet:

We'll be using it to tow a sxs and for vacation desert exploring.

Along with my JL and the small camper it tows.

And if I really want to do dumb stuff there's my LJ on full width Dana 60s.

Hope to find and contribute some good info here.

Good afternoon all, I'm new to Jeeps in general and found this 2021 Jeep Gladiator while shopping for another vehicle. I've been wanting one for awhile but never pulled the trigger until now. Looking forward to this forum to learn more. I couldn't go wrong with this one, 3rd owner and the 2nd owner did 90% of the build, the 1st owner was a salesman at the dealership where I bought it from. Planning on hitting the trails here in NM this spring.

This is my first jeep. Always wanted one, just never found exactly what I wanted till now. Unfortunately it is not the best first experience. Three weeks after getting it, it went back to the dealership for a new engine due to a coolant leak in cylinder 2. Hopefully they can get it fixed quickly and I can start enjoying it.

LOVE the color, no idea on the engine, I had two 2025's and they both were perfect. The 3.6 engine is pretty solid. They'll get it fixed, and you'll llove it the Mojave is a great choice.

Although i feel a Mojave as your first jeep is going to spoil you. Jeeps generally don't ride that good LOL

Joosed,
Your Mojave looks super cool! Sorry you are having engine problems. Hope they replace the motor for you. Better to happen now then after warranty runs out.

I bought a steel front bumper from a new Mojave owner. She said on her first oil change they found metal shavings in the oil. Yikes! Dealer is fixing it now.
