[Maximus Gladius]

Just swap shocks and change the name on the hood?

But, the frame! The frame!

Btw, I used to really like the original Fantasy Island as a kid! …Mental note, add riding in a plane that’s built to successfully land on water to my bucket list.

This narrative needs to die. There are 2-3.5” lifts specifically for the Mojave that retain stock shocks and ride.

You're not wrong. There are several available for the Mojave. I think the Mojave is the best trim level for the average jeeper. That's why I own one. The suspension setup is the best I have ever experienced. That's why I am biased against lifting the Mojave. With that being said I do intend to try the AEV 2.5" lift out in the future. My opinion may change after that.

If I'm not mistaken, the Mojave specific AEV lift is 2"

Agreed and I can confidently say the 2” AEV spacer lift is awesome on the Mojave. I love it.

I’m biased but unless you’re going rock crawling the Mojave in stock form is the best driving Gladiator on the road for all other circumstances. Dirt roads are 60mph and comfortable.

Bingo!!!!! Mojave is definitely the best rough road daily driver. Rubicon will crawl places a Mojave will struggle. Rubicon is good on the road but doesn’t have the dampening abilities of the Mojave.

I’ve had both and have the Mojave now to know, Mojave has a stiffer ride

Personal preference and interpretation trumps all! Drive them both, pick your love! Nobody is wrong with their interpretation. Some people like mushrooms and some people like oysters.

For me it's the Mojave seats , they are far more comfortable the the Rubicon . If jeep would add them to the Rubicon then I would go with that model ?‍

 

[Bamaprof]

On the road? Your Mojave wins

I’ve owned several of each and greatly prefer the ride quality of the Mojave - both on and off road

what rig gives a better ride and handling

Depends what you do with it.

I love my Rubavé. It does everything!

Uh, Correction.
It's a Rubavé.
Adjustable reservoir shocks and Bingo!

Beat me to it ?

Lol sorry bro, I don't have one yet but I am looking to trade my Taco in the next few months . I test drove a Mojave and loved the ride . I hear Rubi drivers get leg cramps on long rides which I deal with on my Taco . Also I drive an off road with no front locker and I take it on a lot of super rough trails with no issue . One wise man on here once said a Mojave can do 90% of what a Rubicon can do ....can't remember what the % was for a Rubi doing what a Mojave can do

100%, a rubi can go 100% of the places a Mojave can just maybe a little slower.
