MOJAVE Edition Gladiator JT Club

Picked her up from Travis yesterday. Only took 4 weeks. I couldn't be happier. The seats and suspension are fantastic.

Congrats - how many orange accessories to match the Mojave trim did you take with you?

As many as I could find. I preordered. I actually already had the orange torch lighter. I bought the orange tumbler and forgot that I had an orange and black v-cutter. All will be prominently displayed at all times. I have more plans too. Travis was impressed.

Got this stubby bumper to fit on the Mojave. Still need to make some alterations to the stock skid plate to get it back on, but it works!

Picked mine up 6 months ago. Its been fantastic. Everywhere i go, someone wants talk to me about it. Did 1st road trip to Terlingua & Big Bend in March. Both Big Bend Parks where amazing. Got our 1st badge. Black Gap was awesome. Next up is road trip to Colorado in July. Hopefully i can meet up someone to run Black Bear and/or Ophri Pass Trail.

The Mojave has a great suspension system but they have a very light weight hallow cheap rear sway bar. This cause the truck to roll when turning. Kinda like driving a boat, especially when you put larger tires onto the truck. Installing this much higher quality solid rear sway bar helps reducing this roll. I highly recommend it. So it’s not a matter of fixing something, it’s more improving.

To be clear, the lightweight sway bar was specced that way to allow greater suspension articulation off-road. The thicker sway bar will reduce body roll, but will also reduce articulation.

Any changes to unsprung weight (parts below the suspension such as wheels, tires, etc) should have no affect on body roll.

Well I’m happy with it ??

Good! It's all about making the vehicle work the best for what you want to do. It doesn't matter what anyone else wants. That's the advantage of having a million aftermarket parts available to us!

Nice! I got my Mojave from Leith at the end of April and got a really good deal too! Enjoy!!

FYI.........Called AEV today and was told they shipped a few Mojave spacer lift kits. Called Rubitrux and they had 2 or 3 left in stock this morning. Ordered one today and got the shipping confirmation. They may have 1 or 2 avaliable if you call tomorrow...

Just installed a Hellwig sway bar. Wow what a difference it makes. Worth every penny of $239, very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend this upgrade.

why? not a criticism, I am curious why you like it? I am looking to get a bit looser with a rock jock antirock for better offroad performance. I think the current setup is a bit too stiff, and I want a bit more roll (safely of course) but more flex when needed.

 

[WKYRIDER]

Yes, order to delivery. Was just able to get the $1k rebate too.

I ordered from Travis as well. From order to truck onsite was only 14 days. Of course I’m now waiting my 30 days for the tread lightly discount.

I like the Hellwig quality and it has 3 different adjustments. I have only tried the middle and the stiffest adjustment so far and have not yet had a chance to take off-road. I have yet to try the softest adjustment, but I do plan on trying that soon. I really wanted to stiffing up the steering for when I am driving around town and when hauling things. But I also wanted the flexibility of changing to a softer ride when going off-road. The Hellwig gives me those options and I have been very happy with the results so far with the middle and stiffest adjustments.
