New ecodiesel California edition build

Looks good!

If your truck was built after June 15th 2021 and the Mojave was built before that, the TPMS sensors are incompatible. Many of us found out the hard way (myself included).

I’d avoid alternating PSI for height normalization. The engine weighs about 400lbs more and tires rarely, once loaded, measure out to manufacturers spec. For instance, most 35s are lucky to hit 34” once mounted. The 3/4” spacers and rubi springs won’t address the bottoming out issue fully. Commit to a 2” spacer only or proper springs. Diesel here as well and the AEV spacer kit, although more than typical spacer kits, is well thought out and will address it. I ran it for 10k miles, loved it but once armor, winch etc. went on I lost an inch and moved onto springs. Another option is the Mopar 2” lift. By far this has been the turnkey fix for the bottoming out issue while providing a healthy bump in lift.

Thanks for the feedback. Im getting the sensors swapped over to my new mojave wheels while my jeep is at the dealer. Ill most likely move up to a full lift kit when i install 35s.

A couple of small additions to the gladiator today. Also took the truck out to Big Bear to break it in.

That is a rather epic Jeep.

Installed the AFE intake today. Install went smooth with no issues. Also added a tazer and threw in some mopar floor mats.

Got a Mopar steel bumper from a fellow forum member. Still waiting on the parts to install the skid plate but should be getting those in tomorrow and then ill finish up the install. The installation was pretty straightforward and easy. The hardest part was getting the retainer clips off that hold the colored tow hooks on. I'm glad I swapped the black tow hooks over though.

Really love the black grill. They said it wasn’t available when I ordered. It was one of the things I really wanted. Now that I see yours, I know why!

Got the brackets from the dealer today and finished up the install. The LED fog lights are a nice upgrade over the stock halogens too.

@kilroy173 Nice truck! Any early impressions with the intake on the diesel?

I like it so far. I feel like it has a little bit more mid range power and it sounds cool too.

Installed a pedal monster today. Got it for a steal so I couldn’t pass it up. I’m still trying out different settings but like it so far

Installed some metal cloak bump stops today and some daystar 3/4 front spacers to compensate for the Mopar steel bumper.

Added the rears as well.

Just threw on some Rubicon rock sliders. Got them for cheap and they'll do for now. Planning on eventually getting the Rock Hard sliders but they seem to be hard to find right now.

Those rails look great, night and day from none. They really finish the truck nicely.

Thanks! Jeep really should put something there from the factory. Looks naked with no step or rocker.
