Lessons learned in Moab

[PuddleJumper]

Any time. I’ve loved it. Zero issues with anything. Their support is fantastic as well. I asked some questions when I got it as I was new to co2. I’ve been doing my own refills for about a year now. It’s cheaper than paying the local shop. I have a 50lb tank in the garage that’s under $40 to refill. I get 4+ refills of the 10lb with it. And I can do top offs instead of having to wait for it to be empty. The trick is to have a large tank with a dip tube so you’re getting the liquid co2 at the bottom. Then use a cheap scale to figure out how much to put in. My empty weight with the handle is around 16lbs. So when it hit 26lbs I know I’m full. The other trick is to freeze your 10lb tank before filling it. I put it in the freezer overnight.

hell yeah! thanks for the tips

This x100! Get the AEV Dualsport suspension. It has EVERYTHING you need to keep all the other components within OEM specs and rides better than stock.

It's a Mojave with fox 2.5" internal bypass shocks. The 5100s aren't even on the same planet of quality, dampening, or high speed handling. For any other model they are a great option. For a Mojave they are a huge down grade. You're paying $1,300 more than their mojave specific spacer kit for control arm drop brackets and springs (which you could add to the spacer kit for $700) and a shock down grade. The spacer kit comes with all the other parts. Even if you are afraid of spacers because the internet said so, why down grade the shocks? The real problem with your typical spacer kit is the fact that it retains the crap factory shocks on non-mojave models. I guarantee a Mojave with the spacer kit rides better than any gladiator on 5100s.

From a fellow built Mojave owner w/ stock shocks: let it go. At this point in the thread if someone hasn't heard the drum you've been beating, they never will.

I'll post right after every person with 0 experience with the mojave parrots the terrible advice of "upgrading" to 5100s just to make sure nobody makes the mistake of reading just that advice and running with it. Aside from going to an actual garbage shock like the stock sports I couldn't think of a worse recommendation for a Mojave, especially if you're actually going to off road it at speed like it was intended. And I've run 5100s on our JLUR for near 30k miles. They are absolutely better than the rubicon stock shocks.

I decided to go for the Gold and went @Metalcloak at took advantage of their sales in December.

The high level is I went full @Metalcloak with the 3.5 Game changer and lots of extras. I will let the photos tell the story.

Truck looks awesome! I saw your other thread regarding tire size. What tire and wheel specs did you end up going with?

They are BFG K02s with the Nomad convoy (0 offset). I did the tires and wheels before my first Moab trip. My next trip to Moab is for EJS,,

Actually WD40 on rag to wipe it down.

Make sure you invest into a good grease gun. MC stuff doesn’t like to run dry. Tire rotations and greasing every 5k miles for the rest of your life lol
