I'm pretty ignorant but did they tune more than the suspension? More HP or torque? Tranny splits?

Thanks

Aww yiss. Love it.

Edit-- saw one online for 51k with LED and premium audio. If I had to make the same decision today... Man it would be tough. If I would be ok without lifting it, which I'm not, I would be all over that.

I'm glad to see them hitting lots. It looks like there is one In Transit to my local dealer, Hydro Blue, every option.

I'm curious about driving feel. I presume you've test driven a Rubicon and a Sport? Maybe? In any case, how does it feel, seat of the pants, when taking off or when turning (cornering.) Is it any sportier feeling than the other Gladiators?
So I drove all the models. It does feel sportier to me and smoother. It feels planted around corners.

Would lifting it present a problem?

Those internal bypass shocks wouldn't be long enough and would have to be replaced completely. That's partly why I was ok with a max tow sport. But now I'm here wishing I had a cooler hood, a steel rear bumper, fenders, and the lockers. I didn't think there would be so few locker options and now I'm stuck (pardon the pun) until the market catches up. The Mojave is just plain neat, I love it.

Theoretically a spacer lift should work, presuming you want to keep the fancy suspension you paid extra for. I'm leaning towards the AEV 2" spacer kit since it includes shock and track bar extensions.

Oh man, that’s a very nice looking JT. Congrats on that! Now I’m back to having Mojave envy, ugh.

Thats my plan. I did that combo on my 19 Rubicon. Love it and it will be a perfect addition to my Mojave also. The spacers are really cool the shock brackets are super beefy and the bump stops should work great with the factory Mojave suspension.

Sweet ride! I'm just waiting for my Gator colored Mojave to come. Also if any of you install the AEV spacer lift on their Mojave, please post your results as I am thinking of doing this.
