Mojito Gladiator JT Club

[ShadowsPapa]

Bill, which knob rings are those? My wife had them on her old Jeep, and wants them on the new one, but a lot of the ones I looked at on Amazon have reviews with fitment issues.

When I had a set on my 2020, I had to put a small piece of tape inside the ring for the headlight switch as it wanted to turn on the switch knob (the headlight switch also turned not real easily). Tape adhered to the inside of the ring - about a 3/4" piece, did the trick.

This time around, perfect fit, no turning, not too tight, not too loose.

My wife had them on her JK and liked them, so I just ordered the ones you linked for her new JLU.
Might have to get a set for my JT now too, lol.

Do they mess up the plastic on the original knobs when you shove them on?

IDK, but of all the things I removed off her JK to return it to stock, those are one of the only things I did not want to mess with. It's been almost 10yrs since I did it, I don't remember if they were just friction fit or if there was an adhesive involved.

No, not at all.
I took them off my 20 to install on the 22. But I left them on the 22 when I traded for the Mojito 25 as I figured the blue just wouldn't look right.
No adhesive.

When do we get to see any Mojito Gladiators owned by ordinary people actually in the wild, a garage or driveway?

Something with bugs on it.........

dude... two of the coolest looking Jeeps here... I never like the bright color Jeeps... always leaned toward the tans, grays, greens, etc... but man I want a Mojito... Jeep, lol... that purple is prettier every time I see it too.

that purple is prettier every time I see it too.

When it's really clean and out in the right sun - it's amazing.
It's got a lot of other colors of "flecks" in it as well - reds, blues, greens, all mixed in.
Reign is an amazing color.

Ceramic treatment, power steps...........

STORMY, windy, nasty, so put it right in the garage and closed the doors.

Also found out the 2025 Mojave has 7,000 pound towing, it used to be 6,000 pound towing. don't know what all changed, but the official specs now list 7,000 so there's a bonus I wasn't expecting when going this route.

No, no more major work like that on a large vehicle. I had a local service do it -
"Ceramic Pro".

Understandable if you don't want to answer, but what did that cost?

Man that thing looks amazing!

Ceramic Pro is the name of the product. S&C is the company that did it.

Services like those are wildly overpriced in California. It's a bummer...
