After a month from delivery and wrenching, finally took the Mojave into its natural habitat.

I can’t express how pleased and impressed I am with this thing off-road, specifically backroads at speed, the Mojave does exactly what it’s supposed to and eats up abnormalities in the road.

Absolutely love this machine.

Even with 38s I was able to drift around long sweepers on dirt road.

Dude this build is so sick. Loving it. I was debating 35’s and 37’s but I am trying to remain able to fit in my garage so probably going to stay 35’s with the stock lift. Debating just saying screw it and doing 37’s on stock lift but we will see

Trying to take it off-road this weekend to test everything out but first wanted a quick test run.

Will be able to make small adjustments like where I’ll have to cut fender liner for the apex disconnects.

Looks like the 38s will definitely rub on the front end so chopping the fenders will be needed at some point in the build.

The apex disconnects are A+

I was sitting next to you the other day at a stop light in Georgetown. I was wondering what had happened to the front passenger fender as that was the only one I could see was missing. LOL Please update on the apex after you offroad them. Rig is looking great.

How well do these match the rings on the Air Vents?
It's pretty spot on, you won't be able to tell the difference.

37s will work and fit in garage. My 38's were very tight on stock suspension and needed more space so the 2" AEV works and gives me a couple inches of buffer for garage.

Any higher and you'll have issues, I barely fit in underground garages, another 2" would be too much fwiw.

Was that you in the black Rubicon, slightly lifted?

Have I spoke to you at a light yet? I thought you may have been the same person I keep seeing from all the way up there to over by Lake Travis lolol.

Thank you for the compliments too!

Probably the best $14 modification (2 cans of Plastidip) for the Gladiator.

Granted after this wears out I’ve made the decision to just have it professionally Linex’d for $75 and be done with it for the long run.

I've been trying to get a hold of second hand grill that I can do that to so I can swap them out whenever I want to go black or back to sting grey

What started as just the cab side, has now turned into the whole bed.

Now completely outfitted with @eight13design molle panel.

I left the lower section open to not give up the 2x6 slot when needed.

What exactly is a "stock lift"

The Mojave comes with 1" of lift over the other models, at least in the front. So not trying to add to that by putting on anything else.
