Hey Everyone,

First post to the form. Also a first time jeep owner. I went with the Mojave (before only owned Honda/Acura). I bought a jeep since Covid had me stuck inside going crazy. The Jeep has really brought a lot of happiness for me and I'm really glad with the purchase.

Anyways, I watched the Mint 400 for the first time several month ago and have become absolutely fascinated by trophy trucks... Now, I don't have +$500K to blow (I'm a recent college grad) but I was hoping to learn from some of the veterans here. Rock crawling is cool no doubt, but I enjoy the speed, hence why I went with the Mojave. I enjoy running her hard but not so hard she gets damaged. However, I'm finding when I run her like I want she bottoms out.

I was wondering, what upgrades can be made to the Mojave that make the most sense? For example, The Mojave comes with those pretty 2.5 fox shocks but the 3.0s look so attractive too. You guys have any advice for me?

I appreciate all of you and glad to join this community :)

Best,
EFW

P.S. I'm a complete noob, I've had the jeep for 7 months.. off road every day of the weekend... just learning/exploring.

It's probably not bottoming out. It's just contacting the hydro bump stops. As far as suspension goes, the 3.0 would be frivolous in my opinion. I'd rather soup up the engine or put rcv axles or a front locker or put 37s under it.

One of the best parts of the Mojave is the shocks.

So unless you are going with a big lift, there isn't really a reason to ditch them.

My favorite mod is the Livernois Motorsports tune. Look it up.

Ugh, I don’t think the Livernois is legal in good ole California where I live.
