From an article discussing the Mojave trim changes...My understanding is the frame of Mojave and rubicon are the same Mojave different is “suspension reinforcement points on frame”. It’s really a bummer on this design flaw. That plate is too thin. How did you end up fixing?
I asked Brandon Girmus, the Jeep Gladiator’s brand manager about those frame and axle reinforcements, which you can see illustrated on the naked chassis on the floor of the Chicago Auto Show (shown in the TLF Truck video below). He told me that, for the frame, overall thickness stays the same, though there’s some “additional welding for added strength” from roughly the Gladiator’s B-pillars rearward.
You can see in the screenshot below, painted in silver, the changes to the rear part of the “JT” Gladiator’s chassis. Notice that the shock and spring mounts are the same as those on a standard Gladiator, but the Mojave gets that reinforced frame (again, just added welds), stronger jounce bumper brackets, new springs, new Fox shocks, and a thicker track bar (not shown below).
