Wachuko's 2024 Mojave X Build Thread

[wachuko]

That bulletpoint looks pretty clean to me and if I ever had to go that route I would definitely go with it over some of the other highly overpriced units

That was my same reaction as well. When I started looking, I was seeing some outrageous prices for these units... I am talking in the range of US$600-1,000.00 !!! So when I saw this one for US$165.00 it was a no-brainer...

I had not seen the EVO JT Half-rack... I like it. Can't decide on this one or the JCR Off Road rack... Can't seem to find anything as far as comparison of the two...

EVO

JCR Off Road

I did find a video where the owner installed an EVO... got to see more details that I had not seen via photos...

The evo rack is the rack I’m going with in my Mojave just debating on half or full rack

 

[wachuko]

Decal applied... I like this color combination better.

Eugene The Jeep, decal arrived as well... need to decide where I am going to place it...

 

[wachuko]

Rear window it is... did not wanted to place anything else on the side panels...

That was an easy install… I left the nets in place.

I need to learn how to read... son of a gun...

Installed the back first. And wow, they look so cool. Pretty useful as well for what they are.

Now, the front:

I did not read the note in bold .

* Please Note: These pockets are not compatible with models that are equipped with factory power front seats.

Sure enough, the hit the power seat buttons...

I now have two beautiful wall decorations! Since I opened them, installed them, etc. they are not taking them back.

I will remove them and keep the ones in the back. Man, what a bummer... the front ones looked so frigging cool and provided some space for stuff in the front...

I did call them, and even the slim ones will still not work with the front power seats... so no use ordering those...

 

[wachuko]

Another order of things that do not fit the 2024 Jeep Gladiator and I failed to notice the notes before ordering... but in this case Bulletpoint allowed me to return them.

The A-Pillar mounts are not compatible with 2024... So those are going back.

I did start to install the 8-switch pod. I am not pleased with the mount. Not designed for this year either. This will do for now until I make a new mount for it that gets held in place with two of the bolts on the fender...

 

[wachuko]

Lights are working. When the A-pillar mount from Bulletpoint comes out, I will move the control pad to it... for now it will be here.

Now to wire the side bedrack lights.

 

[wachuko]

Finally got around to installing the reverse Oracle lights.

I also ordered the half rack. Went with the EVO JT Half-rack.

I also have pending the install of the RockHard 4x4 front and rear lower control arm and rear shock skid plates.. got everything including the correct bolts to use on the install (based on feedback here and a couple of videos that I watched).

 

[wachuko]

Front done yesterday.... will tackle the rear ones over the weekend.

 

[wachuko]

Rear done... had to make some pins to help align things while I inserted the bolts... First time doing this and it was a bit of a pain...

Anyway, these are done (both sides).

Waiting on the half-roof rack to arrive. I then need to decide what chase light bar I will be using in the back (mounted to the rack).

Awesome build I personally bought a KC hilites chase bar, there are 28 multi- functions options to go with. It's currently on sale. now.
