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

[KurtP]

I have six ARB shackles being powder coated Prismatic Brentwood Orange now, hopefully ready next week. Since I lost my orange hooks when I went to the LOD bumper, I figured it would look good.

Nice. Who is doing the powdercoat? I need to find someone to do the ARB hooks on the Bondi bumper. The arb red just wont look right on a Mojave imo

it is a local shop about six miles from my house. It seems there are powder coaters everywhere.

So I go to start to put the lift on today and start laying the parts out... Fabtech didn’t include the shock extensions.... So I have to get with them on Monday to figure out WTF happened.

My shock mounts came but no springs or bump stops

fabtech springs and bump stops came. Now just waiting on my @Clayton Off Road track bars to go with my overland+ control arm kit and its time to go. Mojave specific lift springs with Clayton Bars all over? Yeah. This is gonna ride nice.

So it's official, i finally joined the club last week... took delivery of my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave in Sting Gray after ordering on 12/8... what a beast... have already been busy with some mods, but she goes in later this week for wheels/tire (Black Rhino Arsenals/Nitto ridge grapplers), Corsa Sport Exhaust, Fox ATS Steering Stabilizer... already installed some Go Rhino RB20's, Tazer Mini, Stubby Antenna, and Hauk Badging, and front window tints. Obsessed with this freaking truck, got some snow yesterday and she was amazing in it, enjoyed the traction control kill switch as well for some donut time. so much fun. cant wait to continue the build.

Just spoke to Fabtech they are going to make sure i have the part ASAP. Tony at Fabtech was amazing!!! They fixed the website also to include the Shock Extension Kit in the listed part numbers.

It annoys me that the Tacoma has various electrical power ports in the truck bed and the JT often does not. So, I installed my own. I also used an uncommon plug assembly configuration called a Trolling Motor Connector. I removed the battery clamps from my Smittybilt Air Compressor and spliced a male connector. I can also do this for other things like Solar Panels, Generators, Lights, and Power Tools. I now have power whenever I need it. While I was at it, I removed the infamous and cheap air hose that comes with the Smittybilt unit and used an extra ARB compressor hose and gage. The different brands reverse connectors, so I had to resolve that as well. It's now quite robust. As you can see, I also opted not to permanently mount my Air Compressor in the JT. I installed an Aramis Swing Box.

Also... It's been a while, so here is my comprehensive list of upgrades to date:

Piece of cake. Super easy. Minimal tools. The instructions are great, but not really necessary. Maybe ten minutes.
