Hi all,
Took delivery of my 2022 Mojave yesterday. I needed a vehicle for the following tasks:
I was torn between a Rubicon and a Mojave for a while and finally chose the Mojave. The lack of front locker and swaybar disconnect I can easily remedy, the suspension is absolutely fantastic out of the gate, I liked the Mojave steering wheel / seat bolstering, and I wanted the cast iron turn knuckles and frame reinforcements
I placed an order with my dealer, heres the timeline:

Took delivery of my 2022 Mojave yesterday. I needed a vehicle for the following tasks:
- Towing 5k Ilb (loaded) ATV trailer, buddies, and all our gear to and from ATV parks (Had an F150 for this prior)

- Recovery vehicle ( I live in a rural area, everyone ends up needing something unstuck at some point, even the mailman)
