Mojave is fantastic offroad

[ecidiego]

I find it interesting that many feel the Gladiator is underpowered when in fact the motor is a high revving, throttle happy, powerplant! Yes, it's no hemi but it's more than adequate for most of our needs on the highway and off road. It also has a nice exhaust growl when you put your foot down. I came out of a Ram Rebel with a Hemi to my Mojave and I've been fine with the performance that I'm getting along with better fuel economy.

A lot of times people bagging on the engine have no idea what's happening. They floor it in the sand - traction control kicks in and cuts power.

Turn that shit off, hit OffRoad+, and use the engine.

Anyone notice that JKU never appeared again in frame after I floored it?

I vow to redo this video with my much crazier right foot now that I know my Mojave.

Video was GoPro 9 with max Hypersmooth. Makes a nice clean video but kills the roughness of the terrain.

3:23 is classic Gladiator. Hitting the rear LCA. Glad mine had skids at the time already.

I love my GoPro but it smooths bumps and makes obstacles look much smaller than they were. You can see the red hood shaking left to right.

Several months later - same hill...



California rocks. For Jeeps at least.

I'm on the other end and love the smoothing. I hate camera shake. Can't actually see what's going on when everything it just a blur.
Love the videos!

That’s pretty awesome; looks like an uphill rock garden

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

Where ish is this if you don’t mind sharing. It looks like a blast and I’d love to stretch the legs of the Mojave

Video says Superstition so I’m assuming Superstition OHV over close to El Centro. Fun area with diverse wheeling terrain. Everything from Sand Dam to rocky ledges. Plenty of footage on YT of it.
