2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. First Jeep.
Man, I like it a lot… A LOT, but I wish I had gone with a different color. Sting Gray was my 4th. choice and it is what I always see most everywhere. Oh well.
1: Crystal Granite
2: Snazzberry
3: Sarge Green
It is my first Jeep, ordered March 12th. 2022 and picked up May 27th. Not quite 14K miles just yet here at one year ago today.
If only I could find some actual Prerunner like aluminum front and rear bumpers. No use for a winch. Not interested in adding anymore steel than the rock sliders on it. 100% happy with the choice of just an AEV 2” w/geo bracket lift and narrow 35s.
Kenda Klever R/T 35x10.5x17 on 8.5” wide 0 offset Method wheels (warm weather)
Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 255/85R17 (35x10x17) on base/OEM Mojave wheels (dedicated cold weather). Absolutely the best winter driving setup vehicle I have ever driven and I have driven more than 2 handfuls of new 4x4s in my 51 years.
Michigan here and unfortunately, it has not seen much off-roading, but the intention is always there.
Work just does not cooperate though.
Love this Jeep and the above is a random outburst. Hah!
Good day/weekend all.

Are you running the AEV 2"? How close are you from rubbing at full turn? Would love to see how tucked those 37's are...

Yes, I installed the AEV 2” spacer kit a couple weeks back; plus added bladders since I had the springs out. Just finished ordering the Clayton track bar so I can mount my spare. I’ll send a side view later.

Just back from Gorges State Park area for camping, no rubbing at anytime, not once. I couldn’t be more happy with my setup thus far. On the interstate, I was getting 21mpg, running in 8th gear most of the time.

For a bonus, when I got home, my Clayton track bar was on the porch, and now my 37” spare is mounted where it should be! There was zero room to spare!

Since I enjoy saving miles on my Mojave, the transmission in my beater finally gave out and it was time to test the Mojave out with towing. Pretty impressed with it and the tow package.

Minor sag in the rear, and seeking to fix this in the future. Don't intend to tow frequently though.

Rear sag includes, Smartcap (~220lbs, it is alleged to be ~180lbs, I'd estimate between 200-220lbs) + Tactical Gear/Long-Gun Case (~80lbs) + Rolling Tuff Box with tools (~35lbs), + VW Jetta. (RIP lil sorority girl car) :(

Consider air bags in coil springs?

I started looking into this yesterday. Do you happen to know if those air bag 1000s would fit my 3.5 lift? Been trying to find a definite answer and photo on the forum but no luck
