Mojave is fantastic offroad

[bleda2002]

Another reason to get the Apex Autolynx, the Rubicon electronic sway bar discos re-connect at 18mph, which basically makes them useless for higher speed driving on washboard county roads. Get your Mojave and add some sort of front discos and you are set.

Tazer, cheaper than autolynx and don't have to get to unlock at any speed. Plus it let's me lock up the rear even in 2h and the front in 4h

Awesome. I live in California....while I should be able to take such a pic....that's illegal Statewide except for Pismo Beach which is closing forever soon. Nice pic.

People above are saying OR+ in 4H is like crack. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Any advice?

Depends on what you’re doing. 4hi w/OR+ is fun if you’re romping on it a bit. Sometimes it might hold a gear a bit too long, in which case you can flip the gear selector over to M and select a gear that fits your situation.

be safe of course, but take some wash-board/bumpy place that you would normally drive at speed N in some other vehicle, and then go bomb through it in your Mojave at N+10 or N+15.

Another reason to love the Tazer! I have one and never knew that. Good to know for all the Rubicon owners out there, and anyone debating Rubi vs Mojave.

I had my Mojave up on a national seashore a few times in July. The speed limit is 25 but I got it to 45 in 4H after I was several miles from anyone else. It was so smooth at that speed and I could have easily pushed higher except for fear of being thrown under a federal jail.

I am just getting used to my Mojave in local sand since the beaches near me just opened for traffic. Tighter traffic lanes between dunes and water with people all over so no higher speeds—the speed limit is 20 and I am probably averaging 17. The sand is a ton deeper here than two islands north. I put it in OffRoad+ so I can lock my rear diff (with an annoying bypass required—Jeep, just release it, ugh). I am finding it runs worse (sliding around) and runs hotter on the gauges. I never use 4L because I don’t need the torque. People above are saying OR+ in 4H is like crack. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Any advice?

Yeah up in Carova the Offroad+ was useless in the deep sand, it kept boggin out.

So 4HI + Rear Locker and push hold the Traction Control button till it kills the ABS and Stability control = fuckin mint

Illegal to take a picture on the beach??????? Guess its called Commiefornia for a reason

As mentioned in your dedicated thread, OR+ changes tuning, shift points, throttle response, etc.
I think that most would agree that lockers aren't designed to be run for long durations at higher speeds, and that lockers should only be used sparingly when negotiating certain parts of trails that might require them, like climbing a dune or powering through a sloppy mudhole.
Lockers do what the word implies. They LOCK the differential so that both wheels turn at the same rate. That's OK and fine for slippery media like snow, mud, sand, and rocks at lower speeds, but it's probably ill-advised to turn them on and leave them on for a lengthy drive on the beach.

Unless you're routinely getting stuck in 4H while in OR+, you're going to be better off, or at least the vehicle will be better off, to not run lockers when they're not really needed.

Note the bulleted list under 4H for OR+
The vehicle's performance and behaviors are altered to your advantage.

DRIVE on the beach to frame such a shot!

When the Mojave was 3 days off the lot! Enjoy!

what do you use to get the telemetry data on the video?

welp that explains why ESC turns back on when I hit 70mph in 4WH (I have a Sport, non-s)

Hero 10 records, Telemetry Overlay PC software renders. They took GPS out of the hero 12 complete morons at GoPro

Telemetry Overlay ( actual name of software ) is awesome. Costs a little under $100 then yearly maintenance if you want to stay up to date. Boring video, but shows cool stuff - mapping out trails with video etc:



I definitely wish my truck sounded the way the GoPro makes it sound

Mojave = go fast fun. Rocks pretty good.
Rubicon = go slow fun. Rocks amazing.

 

[piroman683]

Rad, thanks!

Lol, in the desert normally rocks are bad and/or not fun. Whoops and jumps = fun ?
