New Mojave…immediately customized with AZ pinstripes

[popsnbeer]

After wanting a jeep for 20 years I finally bought one. Always owned 1/2 ton trucks and couldn’t give up a truck to an “SUV” so the Gladiator fits the bill perfectly! Headed out to nearby trail here in AZ the first weekend to get over that new car smell.

Nice! You even got it to flex with the softer Mojave sway bar, . A jeep without pin stripes concerns me.

What size tires and rims are those? Did you do a spacer or something else for the minor lift?

17x8.5 -6 offset rims and BFG 315/70r17 KO2s. No lift or spacers, but it is a Mojave, like yours, so has a bit of extra room from the factory.

I don't know what the regular Gladiator sway bars are, but unless something has changed recently, the Mojave sway bars 'softer' than the Rubicon.

Autoblog is assuming it's softer, but says they're not sure as they didn't actually measure any of the stiffness. If the Mojave swaybar was softer by 20% jeep would have called that out, it would also drive significantly worse.

How about with that certainly to your point you look up the part numbers between and see what you find. Might be interesting.

The offroad capability, how did you ever get to that spot? It's so offroad capable the tires even refuse to show dirt.

The Mojave does have a different part # for the front sway bar.
