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

I'd also like to know.

I’m averaging about 17.6 with 315/70/17 KO2’s on my Mojave about 60/40 Houston traffic/city. Only have 4500 miles on it and had the dealership flash the computer for the bigger tire size. I noticed that anything over about 2200 rpm and it starts going down. Have not had a chance to get it on a flat stretch for a good while. Houston has overpasses about every 500 feet. ?

I live in the Shenandoah Valley, in Winchester, VA area.. So with the hills on my daily commute I was getting mid 16's stock, now with the 35's I'm mid 15's.. Driving 65 in 55 zones pushing it just bit.. If I babied it and kept my foot out of it, I could probably get back to low 16's..

FYI....Adding a bed cover helped about 2 MPG for me!! I added the cover for additional dry storage but the cover actually improved the gas/mileage. That was a welcome supprise considering I was getting around 13.5 (mostly city) with all the weight I added.....

Anyone else experiences a significant increase in MPG after adding a bed cover???

Went through your area today on the way home to NJ, picked Mojave up in Tennessee. Beautiful area by you.

Yes, I noticed my mileage yesterday and I am averaging 18.6 with my tonneau cover.

Let's face it, JT's are about as aerodynamic as a concrete block so anything you can do to cut down on the drag is bound to make a difference.

 

[Trollboogie]

Yeah, a bed cover is definitely on my list.

Here she is sitting on 1.5” spacers front and rear. I’m looking at removing the spacers and doing a + 3” coil spring up front. My question is what should I do for the rear a 3” coil or 2”. I know that a + 3 coil will only give me about 2” over stock up front so thinking I’m gonna add a 1” spacer. I know everything that has to be done shock extensions LCA’s etc

Thoughts front the people that have swapped out springs?

With the 1.5 inch spacers did you have to do anything else?

Thinking about pulling the trigger on one of the Bak roll up ones? What did you go with? Thanks

I have a Road Armor rack so my bed cover choices were limited. I went with a basic "Access Original roll-up" bed cover. Its acctualy very nice for less than $500.....I've seen the BAK covers and they are very nice....probably a setup up from the Access which I'm totally happy with...

I did mopar lower front LCA’s. Shock extensions, extended bump stops and adjustable trackbar. There have been a ton of people not do it and I have no issues. I just wanted to make it as good as I could.

Mojave with the AEV 2" spacer lift added yesterday..

Are those 35”/12.5” tires?

Yes, they are the 35" Goodyear Duratrac tires..

 

[SloW8]

Yes, they are the 35" Goodyear Duratrac tires..

I really liked my Duratrac tires. Good all around and on the rocks in Moab. Quiet. Did well on snowy/slushy roads. My only complaint was that they chunked on sharp rocks pretty easy.

Yes, they are the 35" Goodyear Duratrac tires..

What rims? Im sold on the aev spacer but will need to upgrade wheels

I'm running DIrty Life DT-2 rims with simulated beadlock rings. The metal rings are available if you want a true beadlock ...
