Jeep Gladiator Mojave Leveled On 35's Walk Around and Test Drive

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

A really useful and beautifully modified Gladiator, Tyler!

[@TylerPotter]

It was a really nicely done Jeep was wasn't over done with accessories. Thanks for the view!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@TylerPotter I would have to agree, Tyler. You are welcome for the view, too.

[@erickhart6159]

Not rock crawling, just want to camp and get where offroad I want to go. So the reinforced frame and nicer riding suspension is a plus for me. I think 35s and aev 2"lift is going to be perfect for me. Maybe a quality cloth bed topper with roll up bed cover.

[@TylerPotter]

Yes that would be a pretty awesome set up! Thanks for the view!

[@oldasiandude76]

Great video. Was wondering. Did this make any big changes to geometry, castor or pinion angle or shock extensions. I am trying to decide on just doing this level kit with 1 inch spacer for the rear. Want to do a lift with least component swaps. Thanks in advance

[@joshnasche5495]

I'm definitely going to get the Mojave jeep Gladiator when I get one.

[@TylerPotter]

They are a really cool option! Thanks for the view!

[@kenb.8596]

Smart move, have my Mojave for 8 months, luv it.

[@Jtmojave]

Great video & just subscribed !! .. I ordered this kit for my Mojave today ... Curious as the Mojave sits an inch taller than the other models from the factory .. Did this kit raise the front to where its making the rear squat a bit, or did it end up just right? .. Have not seen any profile shots of the Mojave leveled with the teraflex 1.5 kit .. This video is the only footage I've found .. Wondering if just the 1inch puck would be sufficient .. Any input, measurements or profile shots would be greatly appreciated ...

[@TylerPotter]

I put the full 1.5in Teraflex kit on the front and if I recall it was left with .25 or .5in of rake still. It just kind of depends, if you are doing to be towing or hauling a lot it might be worth only putting the 1in level in so you have a little more room to squat down before the front it higher than the rear if that makes since. Thanks for the view!

[@Jtmojave]

@@TylerPotter Appreciate the feedback my friend!

[@MrViginti]

@@Jtmojave Doing the same kit with my Mojave, did you put in both spacers and if so do you still have a rake? Thanks...

[@Jtmojave]

@@MrViginti I'm still waiting on my tires! Have the level kit patience is important these days .. I will be going with 1.5 .. and 3/4 daystar for the rear I think will be just right

[@spencemad_4x427]

Gladiators just start to look good with 35s

[@TylerPotter]

I totally agree! A 2in lift and 35's makes the long wheelbase look great! Thanks for the view!

[@MetroCollectablesandvlogs]

The Mojave is def over looked, especially from the Rubi owners, lol. I went out on two trails and this thing is a champ. I did not climb a boulder or anything, lol. but did climb some major hills and then had fun in a creek bed when it was in (Off road +) thats like a mini turbo when its in that mode. But this is exactly what i would like to do to mine.

[@TylerPotter]

Sounds like it did great! It is an awesome package! Thanks for the view!

[@MetroCollectablesandvlogs]

@@TylerPotter Thank you sir... Im def going to go up to 35s... i know the 37s are the new 35s but I already put 13k miles on her in 9 months, so i use mine as a DD. and im averaging like 17.6 miles now, so i dont wan t to average like 12 MPG after lol

[@wranglernator]

Hey Tyler awesome video Looking to put in leveling kit on my Mojave ( not much info out there) Do the shocks need extension brackets? If is it basic bolt in? Thank you

[@TylerPotter]

If it is only a 1in or 1.5in leveling kit like the teraflex kit you can probably get away without shock extensions, but you will loose a little bit of down travel in the suspension, if it were my personal Jeep and wanted it level I would probably go with the teraflex leveling kit since it has bump stop extensions and then find some front shock extension brackets to correct the shock length. I normally am not a big fan of shock extensions and would just recommend shock replacement but the Mojave shocks are awesome and most aftermarket shocks would be a downgrade, so in the Mojave case, the extensions would be a great option. Thanks for the view!

[@wranglernator]

@@TylerPotter thanks for taking the time to respond , it is appreciated. Putting in the tera flex kit. Will see how it feels and if needed will put in extensions. I will put the whole 1.5”

[@MrViginti]

@@wranglernator I'm putting in the same kit into my Mojave, did you need the shock extensions? Thanks...

[@wranglernator]

@@MrViginti no I did not, the leveling kit worked like a charm. I also put a metal bumper and winch combo and the leveling kit did not sag

[@Jtmojave]

@@wranglernator getting my level kit installed tomorrow... did you get alignment, also how does it ride ...?

[@kenb.8596]

Did you have to adjust the speedometer with the 35’s cause you didn’t mention that in your video? I have the 2021 MOJAVE & looking to place BFG A/T K02’s but between waiting for the Black Rhinos I haven’t done anything yet

[@TylerPotter]

Yes Mopar offers a tire size calibration option through the dealership. Thanks for the view!

[@JasonParham83]

Just snagged readylifts 4" lift for my Mojave. That's about as monster as I can go.

[@TylerPotter]

Nice that will look like a beast! Thanks for the view!

[@ZachGarland]

Where did you have to trim the steel bumper to get it to work with the Mojave skid plate? Did you have to finish the cut edges with anything?

[@TylerPotter]

I had to trim quite a bit off the bottom of the bumper where it met up with the skid plate, I did add some black paint to the cut edge of the bumper to help with rust. Thanks for the view!

[@dalastdon510]

I just got my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. Wished i would have picked up the Willy EcoDiesel instead. I so wanted to do so much upgrade, i feel like the Rubicon was a waste because of what it comes with and I’m pretty sure, I’ll get rid of most of parts.

[@TylerPotter]

The Rubicon comes with so much great parts that I think you made a great choice, the locking axles, the 4:1 tcase, high clearance fenders, disconnecting sway bar. All of this make the Rubicon special vs. all of the other trim levels. Thanks for the view!

[@seange4089]

Do you feel the larger all terrain tires are more sensitive to road imperfections or road crown Or is it just the characteristic of a solid front axle vehicle

[@TylerPotter]

A little bit of both, a larger/wider tire will defiantly be affected more with road crown and will tend to grab cracks or groves in the road more easily, but a solid axle vehicle will tend to do the same since both wheels are affected when one or the other is hit with a bump. But even still with the 35's and lift they still drive really really nicely. Thanks for the view!

[@seange4089]

@@TylerPotter thanx dude Keep up the good work

[@patrickobarr3600]

So basically after the additional 1.5 spacer on front with the 1 inch factory lift it has a total of 2.5 inches on the front? Did you do anything to the rear?

[@christopherjustme1372]

What is the model number of that level kit you used. Trying to find it and want to make sure I am getting the right one.

[@Jackal_Blitz]

Did you notice much of a difference with the "cold" air intake? I have a 21 Mojave, and have been starting to ponder doing some light mods to it, and I really like the approach you took here. Nothing over-the-top, but just some small functional improvements. You hit the nail on the head about the 3.6L Pentastar though - it's definitely not the star of the show... 🤣

[@TylerPotter]

It should flow a little better and it does make a little more intake noise when under harder accel, but I not really sure it is a massive power gain. It is a pretty cool part though. Thanks for the view!
