I bought Mojave to attack modern city obstacles for my daily drive and loving it.

[@nightcrawlerjk2987]

I just picked up my first Gladiator Mojave 2022. The ride is a lot better then my 2018 Wrangler “Willy”. I love the new truck style Jeep.

[@treydrier3169]

I own a 2021 Gladiator Mojave in nacho color. It gets a ton of looks and compliments. It is truly a beast of a truck. I live in SW Florida and we get hellaous storms. The Mojave cuts through it all, no slippage, no hydroplaning. I have yet to take it off road but I primarily bought it as a convertible truck and its ability to plow through really bad storms down here. Taking off the doors and top, this thing is like nothing else on the road.

[@TpriestJr]

I’m also in Florida and have been debating a gladiator and have been trying to tailor down which trim I should get. I don’t for see myself doing too much off roading or rock climbing. Really just want a small truck for little odd jobs here and there but also get thru storms or water if needed

Then add the Fox Performance Elite Series 2.5 Adjustable ones front and back. You could really tune your ride stiffness.

Great overview! Unfortunately the hood scoop isn't functional for cooling. You will note it is a solid piece without holes and when you open the hood it is closed off underneath.

[@brianmuckey1962]

I own a Gladiator Mojave and that good scoop is not going to stop me from figuring out how to make it functional.

[@deepbludreams]

The hood does have a functioning scoop, its simply blocked on the inside from the insulation. The Mojaves hood is the hydroglide hood from the Wrangler 392, the Mojave simply lacks the correct airbox to use the hood scoop as a snorkel like the 392 does.

[@pkoz7496]

If by functional you mean you can replace the plastic, pull the insulation and try to make the air direction effective under the hood, then yes. But as it stands the scoop is simply not functional in it's stock application.

[@jaydulka649]

You can lock the rear diff on a Rubi in 2WD and 4HI if you wanted to with a Tazer. Gives you flexibility if you really wanted a Rubicon. I want a Mojave though. Have a JLUR 19’ and the deals on 23’ look too good to pass up!

[@davidcox2197]

This Mojave would be the best choice for towing a small travel trailer due to the beefed up frame, one frame shop I know of has straightened several gladiator frames due to towing Travel trailers. They also beefed up the area that bent. Max tow would be awesome to get in a Mojave. I wouldn't give up the mojave frame for the sport.

[@KTMcaptain]

Completely ridiculous. The JT frame is based off the Ram1500. The Mojave has some extra welding back there and stronger suspension brackets. Frame is extremely strong in towing and actually is worse for the vehicle to have a stiffer frame for towing. This is why Semi Tractors have frames that flex with torque instead of develop cracks. Those issues are clearly from severe abuse where the trailers weight severely overloaded the hitch. Any truck would have issues with thousands of pounds of force (trailer weight plus it's momentum) stabbing the back end of the frame once the suspension has bottomed out. Simply pulling would have no issue.

[@KTMcaptain]

@@hayden8491 not to my knowledge. This is more of a driver error than exceeding capacity. But payload forces are more dynamic off road vs on road.

[@A619D]

So overall decision? I realize you cant upgrade the Mojave shocks with Fox 3.0s im almost tempted to buy the High Altitude then throw the Fox Factory 3.0s on it.

Just FYI. been trying like hell to find a Rubicon skid plate, they are backordered everywhere. Was able to do the entire Eye of the Whale trail in Arches with a stock Mojave. Talk about fun and awesome!

[@kenb.8596]

I did the same put the MOPAR steel bumper & a Warn 10k Winch on my Mojave, lost the silver skid plate, but what I did was take the skid plate from the steel bumper to a powder coat & paint shop, computer matched the black skid plate to my old OEM Mojave plate, so I'm back to the OEM Mojave silver look. With that being said, I also had a front leveling kit installed, I lost my silver front springs, I am going to have them removed & coated in silver just to maintain the Mojave unique look.

[@christopherjustme1372]

It doesn’t actually need the lift with 35”. I am running 35x12.5 on 17x9 rims. (-12 offset, tire sticks out about 2”. Makes it look much better as well) No issues at all with clearance or rubbing even with the stock bumper. That extra inch the Mojave has makes a big difference in having to lift it or not. With that said though I am eventually going to put the Mopar 2.5” level kit on it though. More because I like the look than rather it needs it or not.

[@mrmgjohnson]

@Exudos 4x4 Thank you for all the great videos ! I love the great information with a touch of added humor. I always have some takeaways from your knowledge. Maybe some JEEP experts know better, but from my understanding, the Mojave was actually designed before the Rubicon and the Rubicon was based off of the Mojave for a small offroad niche market and was going to be produced in small numbers only. The success of the Rubicon changed that, and they became a main staple for JEEP and the Mojave got put on the back burner until now. For all the reasons you stated, I am currently considering the Gladiator Mojave. I do have a question: I really like the idea of the ecodiesel... do you think that would be a good enough reason to go with the Rubicon ? I see a lot of reviews recommending to stay away from the diesel due to the initial cost, maintenance cost, potential repair cost and all of the emissions equipment. Any thoughts ? Thanks again !

[@Exodus4x4]

I think a Rubicon diesel is a solid build platform. A lot of Mojave owners have had us install a front locker.

[@mrmgjohnson]

@@Exodus4x4 what's the cost for the installation ? If I decide against the diesel , adding the locker would be a great option. Would it function similarly to the stock Rubi ?

[@rodneyburt8843]

@@Exodus4x4 I am looking at the Mojave just ball park price how much would a front locker be to add?

[@alextrainor2552]

The biggest actual reason to stay away from diesels is because of the cp4 fuel pump. The costs even out when you consider youre getting more torque and more range. The diesel in the usa is too dry and doesnt sufficiently lubricate the new fuel pumps. The only way to reliably sustain a cp4 is by adding LX4 additive to every fill up.

[@VaughnPonder]

I wonder could you do a Hellcat engine swap in the Mojave and add a disconnecting sway bar and lockers?

[@Exodus4x4]

Yes, it’s all possible.

[@AntilleanConfederation]

Why. Just wait till 392 comes out.

[@scottbarth7155]

I love everything about the Mojave except the no front lockers. I have '12 JK Rubicon and have never felt it was necessary to disconnect the sway on trails but i lock the difs all the time. Everything else is superior but that is such a huge feature to leave off it may be a deal breaker.

[@bluejaye44]

Yea true though rear lockers in 4hi is nice. I'm looking at a gladiator soon and I'm thinking I'd rather have lockers in 4hi than a front locker.

[@scottbarth7155]

@@bluejaye44 4 high rear lockers is awesome and probably all i would need for 80-90% of the trails i drive. It would make driving in those 80-90% of conditions a better experience than doing it in 4 low. But the 10-20% of the time i would need 4 low front lockers could be a catastrophe. Not having it could limit where i could go or worse. The perfect setup would be 4hi rear and 4lo front and rear. I'm no engineer but this seems more like a cost saving move than an engineering obstacle. Even offering it as an option for the few of us who would actually benefit from it seems like it would make a lot of sense.

Unless your doing 2mph rock trails, the Mojave seems like the Gladiator to get.

[@KTMcaptain]

Not really. Very rarely have I been on a trail where I've needed more shock than what the Rubicon comes with. With that being said, I've been in dozens of situations where my front end is close to an obstacle and the front end with the sway bar disconnected is wanting to shift toward a rock that could damage my tire or body. Locker prevents wheel slip and kept it front sliding.

In your opinion what would the best option be for more towing power? I’m looking towards the Magnuson supercharger or trading it in for the eco-diesel.

[@camaroboi13]

For more towing power I would just put my foot down a little farther. 3500lbs isn't anything at all as far as weight goes and shouldn't require more power. People have been towing much bigger for much longer on less power.
