@@FarFromOrdinary wow, that makes this even more impress that it was only a 1.5” lift! I’ve been flirting with the idea of trading my Power Wagon for a Mojave.

But I test drove a Mojave the other day and I really like how it drove and how solid it feels. I also like that it is available with a manual transmission. I was thinking of getting the 2” AEV spacer lift, slapping some 37s and calling it good pretty much. Love your content! I was browsing through it last night! Lol.
