New to the Club with a 21 Mojave Edition. My B-in-Law just started his build on another 21 Mojave with some 37's so here's a couple pics of mine stock next to his for comparison. He did the AEV 2" kit and is Running the BFG KO2's in 37 x 12.5 x 17 on the AEV wheels with the 5.72 BS. He actually ran the tires on it stock for couple weeks.

I'm Looking to build mine a bit taller for some Overland Adventures, Hunting, and Trails with the Family.

Stay tuned for some major upgrades. I'm running the 37 x 12.5 x17 Yokahama Geolander M/T's as I have them on my F150 King Ranch with a BDS 6" kit and they are pretty quiet for the road with some crazy deep lugs. Let me know if have any questions on the builds.

@Green_2021 Love the Green on Tan, Thats what I ordered for my 22 from them.
@Pescatoral Pursuit

For Both of you, how was purchasing process, any forced financing or warranty? Did they place any dealer stickers/badging on the trucks? I'm hoping they dont, I also dont want the front plate mount drilled on the bumper, I plan on replacing it and selling it.

Chapman was great to work with. No pressure to upsell anything. No baiting and switching. You give them your order, they confirm it. They contact you when it gets delivered, you sign the paperwork and go.

Highly recommended.

Easiest purchase experience ever. No decals on truck, they even asked if I wanted the plastic license plate frame. No pressure on anything extra.

I did get this little souvenir that has to come off at some point.

Oh, and... 2 fobs!

Awesome, Thank you both. Looking forward to the good experience contrary to what most dealerships are doing in this market.

Picked mine up from Chapman on Monday. Same as others have said- very easy. No dealer branding, no pressure for anything. Figures on the paperwork matched what I had been sent in email to the $0.01. I was in and out in about 30 minutes.

Covid has changed the way a lot of dealers work these days, doing as much as possible via email or online.

It's home now!

Definitely smaller than my Ram 2500 I traded in lol. Definitely rides much better though.

Already started my shopping list mods; bumpers fenders etc.. Looking forward to it.

Also starting to plan a road trip for Easter jeep safari.

Bought a 21 Firecracker Red Mojave last Friday. San Diego, off the lot. No dealing out here but no markups. Took the 500 Jeep cash off sticker and no doc fees or any other markups and took the truck home. I knew about the Gupton method and other dealers, I just was ready to drive. Options are 8.4, Active Saftey Group, Leather, freedom top, and auto. Only thing missing I wanted are LEDs.

Already bought some stuff.

Full BedRug ordered, backorder.

Got Staun tire deflaters and a VIAIR 400p auto compressor.

Short list when I can handle more financial pain : Diamondback HD, Armorlite floors.

Headed out to Anza Borrego this weekend, is why the air pressure stuff was first on my list. I have a wife and 3 kids under 13....point of truck is to have a good time with them....nothing serious but as a former Mustang owner for about 20 years ( last one I had was sold in 2011, a 2010 GT500 )...I know about mod bugs and feature creep! Hope this is a good ride. This forum is loaded with awesome info.

Picked up my JTR from Gupton on Saturday and drove it 1000+ miles home to MA over the last few days. Here are some of my initial thoughts:
Coming from my lifted TJ, this thing rides really nice!
The shifter took me a little getting used to with having reverse on the left. I accidentally tried to launch in 3rd gear a few times which just wasn't happening. After getting used to it though, I really like it.
I like adaptive cruise control WAY more than I thought I would. So nice to have on long trips.
The Katzkin seats are super comfy. I would be completely comfortable only stopping for fuel ups on a long drive.
ESS works great with the manual transmission. It never felt annoying or intrusive.

Picked up JT sport S Max Tow at Gupton on 11/11 and drove it home to Texas. Now trying to figure out how to improve the breakover without killing the fuel economy…the cab sits up really high for as low as the belly is. Kind of has the profile of a 1950 chevy.
