***Official Mojave Thread*** Lets talk Mojaves

[RavensEyeOffroad]

Well every else seemed to have a model mascot so I made one for the Mojave. I had to custom make the font myself and I figured the desert fox was a good fit. If you are interested in one let me know. I'm toying with these two versions. The left one is alot harder to make but it does pop...

Now, I really love that.............

I'm a history nut anyway and the reference back to Erwin Rommel "The Desert Fox" is way cool. Just two weeks ago, thanks to a friend of mine who is a museum curator, I got to hold one of Rommel's weapons.

Also of note, there was a TV series back in the sixties called "The Rat Patrol" and they battled Rommel's troops in the desert. Their mode of transportation?????? Modified Jeeps!!

Yes, I am way overthinking this..........

Say goodnight...........Goodnight.

It was raining earlier but it cleared up enough to stick it on. Turned out pretty good I think.

I had similar thoughts a while back. I too felt like the Mojave needed a symbol. I like where you went with it. Cool look indeed.

I went with the Mojave Rattlesnake as my symbol. Also a desert dweller. The most venomous of all rattlesnakes. This is what I came up with for mine. I designed these even before I got my gator Mojave.

I'd like to see one with a Desert Sheep. Full Curl ram would be sweet...

Mine has some rake without steel bumper and winch.

How did you design that?!
It was a nightmare to make that font. I want to design stuff like that but I'm not that good at graphic arts. I love it, way better than mine...

I think the rattler looks great on your dash, too.

I work as a graphic designer and an illustrator. I looked at a lot of photographic reference to design the snake graphics. As for the font, it was definitely a challenge. I wanted it to be the actual font, not just something that looked similar. I did a rubbing of the letters on the hood, scanned them in and traced them. Pretty time consuming for sure. I still haven’t had these graphics made for my truck. I’ve put my money into other modifications. I’ll likely be doing that sometime this summer.

no no no I want to know more. :D
what program did you use? go to school for it?
I used a photograph of the letters then built them in a CAD program one by one then used a trace function to put them into silhouette studio lol

Thanks for checking Clv22p

i did not measure ahead of time, so i was not sure if the OEM steel bumper caused it but, i see 1/4" rake at front compared to rear.
If the Mojave has 1/4" rake from factory then i'm cool with it.

to be seen if winch plate & winch would cause more rake.

I just installed the RR Arcus bumper with a 12k winch. Any drop is very negligible.

If you're interested in producing these for purchase, I am totally down. Looks great!
