Tbh honest man if i were you,i would keep the truck if your keeping it forever,but if not get the mojave if your only gonna keep it for only like 3 years and resell it and the mojave would more than likely keep its value,but if your keeping your truck for a long time id keep the max tow put a truss gears,rcv's and ball out on some king shocks and get a nice set of arms like from fabtech since they got a long arm kit and bam,you got a bad ass truck that can tow look cool and perform better than a mojave and cost around the same if not lessI am tossing around a decision and thought I would get the opinions of some of the most knowledgable Gladiator people there are. I took delivery of my Gladiator Max Tow Sport S on February 1st of this year. My intention was to make it rock crawler capable like my last Rubicon JKU was. The next week when I was at the King of the Hammers, Jeep released the Mojave. Knowing that the Gladiator will not be able to do the extreme rack crawling that my JKU did, I immediately thought the Mojave was a great concept with a rear locker and the suspension. My Max Tow stickers for $45,175 and I paid $37,947 after a $2,000 rebate. Since them I put about $10K into mine making the following mods:
- Rubicon Springs and Rubicon Fox Shocks
- Rubicon LED Painted Fenders
- Dirty Life 17x9 Roadkill Beadlock Wheels(5)
- Patagonia 39x13.50R17 Tires (5)
- Warn VR EVO 12-S Winch (Synthetic Line)
- Crawler Conceptz Bumper, Fairlead and Skidplate
- Rubicon Express 2” Level Kit with Shock Extensions
- Rubicon Rock Rails and Bed Guards
- Jeep LED Foglamps
- Jeep LED Headlamps
- Katzkin Leather Interior
- Synergy Sector Shaft Brace
- Jeep Rubicon Hood
- Poison Spyder Functional Hood Louvers
I have an opportunity to trade my Gladiator for $41,000 for a 2020 Mojave with a $53,770 sticker and a $51,432 sales price. If you were in my shoes, would you finish the build on the Sport S I have (front and rear lockers, gears, Fox or King shocks) or buy the Mojave and add 35" tires? I wouldn't plan on listing the Mojave because that would ruin the desert runner ability of the vehicle. Below is a recent photo of the Sport S right now.
Thanks!
