MOJAVE Edition Gladiator JT Club

[Tuggernuts]

Hey folks. First post. Hoping to order a Mojave in the coming weeks. Torn between sting gray and hydro Blue.

Love the posts!

Hydro Blue guarantees you more looks from hot girls. That’s a fact.

Everything but the Bluetooth looked hard but couldn't find with Everything else i wanted. INSTALLED nitto 35s with Rhino Shedders, RC bumper, Badland 12k winch, ACE upper Deck, mopar handles, low profile military antenna, mopar gladiator door sils, tinted front windows, ORDERED 57x43 bed slide, ACE rock slides, GO Rhino light bar pillars, GO Rhino quad light brackets and Mopar mud flaps for now

This looks awesome. Did you notice any sag with your bumper/winch combo?

Question for the Mojave owners. Does the Mojave ride smoother than a Rubicon on the highway or is there no noticeable difference?

i drove the Mojave and Rubicon back to back before deciding on the Mojave. It rides better, drives better, pitches and rolls less, is more comfortable...theres nothing the rubicon does that the mojave doesnt do better. Its unquestionably the superior spec for every driving situation -on road or off- outside of rock bashing with a huge lift and 40” tires. Which the Gladiator is not suited to in the first place.

I second this question

Ah Kurt, there ya go starting wars again!
I love my Mojave, but the Rubicon is the ultimate Jeep to get from point a to b offroad, front locker and sway bar disconnect are tough to beat in the rough stuff. Mojave is an also amazing vehicle and more then enough for most people, and yes Mojave rides much better then Rubicon...Jack

yeah. Sorry man. Ive been across 4 continents and never once needed a front locker. you just dont need them...just lock the rear and left foot brake the front.

Sway disconnect is easy to do manually while airing down/up.

manual disconnects are alot easier and cheaper to add than 2.5 ibp remote resi long travel shocks. i think the Mojave is better if youre staying 37“ tire or less. Of youre going 40” with huge lift and doing serious rock crawling, get the rubicon. But the fact is Mojave is better for everything else, and better by a country mile. It takes a couple hundred bucks to make a Mojave do what a Rubicon can. It takes several thousand to make a Rubicon do what a Mojave can.

Yessssss brother freaking love it. Waiting on my jeep to come in... want to run same wheels and tire setup. Just torn Between 35s and 37s... this is sick though. Are the wheels the 0 or -18 offset. Can u please share more photos from head on and the back etc. Sick build.

All great points.

I read an early review of the Mojave last year and the guy said “the Mojave can do 90% of what the Rubicon can do, but the Rubicon can only do 10% of what the Mojave can do.”

No. Held both that and the ACE upper decker pretty well

I don’t see many Mojave with the gray leather. This is what I am thinking of ordering because of the Texas heat. What color exterior looks best with the gray? Thinking white but open to other suggestions. Also are the dash panels the same color as granite gray? Thanks.
