Great review! Bought a black 2024 Mojave X about a week ago and immediately drove it to a detail specialist for paint color correction and polish, full PPF wrap, ceramic coating, window tinting, color matching the door/hood hinges and hood scoop grill to the orange and I can’t wait to have it as my everyday driver!

Good 4k mile follow up. I bought a Sting Gray Mojave back in Jan 21. I got the all black wheels with faulken all terrain tires. I love this truck, just got 3k miles on it. I have owned a LOT of vehicles over the years. This is my first Jeep and I can say I am very happy and wish I paid more attention to Jeep in my younger years, lol. I love the Mojave and really don't know if there is anything I don't like. One thing I say to people is make sure you know what your getting before you buy it (ie bed length , tow capacity etc). Seems I have seen a lot of people complain about this after they already have it... Strange..

Thanks Steve! Yes this is definitely a car people need to research. It looks big in my opinion so I think people just assume it’s a full size pickup and that it can do full-size pickup things, and that just isn’t always true. Especially when it comes to towing and payload. In my opinion the Mojave is 70% Truck 30% Toy, which I don’t have a problem with :)

@@changinggearsmedia Exactly. I did weeks or research and realized if I bought a "truck" like a Toyo Tacoma (great truck don't get e wrong) or the like it was mostly sit and just be used as a truck. The Gladiator brings the fun into have a functional truck as well as being able to have fun with it also.

The Gladiator is actually a very good rock crawler. The approach angle is the same as the Wrangler and with a lift and 35's and a hitch skid, it does just fine. It actually has some advantages with the long wheelbase, particularly with hill climbing. I've got a Wrangler and there wasn't anything in Moab I did that my brother's Gladiator couldn't do. Both were lifted with 35's. Nice video! Love the Mojave!

Picked up a Gladiator Mojave a little over a year ago. Now have 18k on the odometer. Mine is pretty loaded so I ended up paying like $68k for it. While yes there are some drawbacks, the positives simply can't be had on any other truck. There's just something special about being able to remove the top and such.

For a guy that does not rock crawl, you have a strong opinion about what rock crawlers should drive. Rubicons have 4:1 Transfer case, enhanced armor, front locker and a disconnecting sway bar. Rock crawler or not, the disconnecting sway bars make 4lo smoother. The Mojave is a neat package at a similar price point to the Rubicon and out of the box, it drives way better than the wallowing stock Rubicon. 14:15 What??? A 3.6 is more reliable than a 3.6?
@changinggearsmedia
@changinggearsmedia 3 жыл бұрын
I don’t disagree with the first half! The 3.6 is the same but mojave has a different ride height, tire, and many suspension and chassis components that differ from the Rubicon like Hydraulic Jounce Bumpers, so I will stand by that it does drive better (smoother and stable) than a Rubi :)

MOPAR makes a electronic brake controller replacement module for the 12v cigarette lighter. Also, 7,000lb towing with the Rubicon. My 2020 fully optioned Rubi came with the rims shown in this video, they really are not that bad, I figured a replacement will happen with new tires. If you're building a mall-crawler, you'll never use the fwd facing cam, it's speed limited. Buy and install a high-mounted rear facing camera. When your tailgate is down your rear cam is useless. Now all I need is the $20k for a Hellcat swap - ha! Or is it a Demon swap now? 1000HP is needed for crawling...

Not amazing, but manageable. When adults sit back there, there is plenty of legroom for normal size humans. We have a rear facing infant seat and the front sit does need to be slid slightly forward to fit it. It’s not a big deal to us and is easily manageable. However the only reason I’m not lifting my Jeep is because lifting the car seat in and out becomes exponentially harder!

Good review, but why get a rock crawler over the Mojave? I didn’t. I bought a Gladiator Rubicon because I wanted front locking differentials along with rear, not necessarily a “rock crawler”. That’s why I did it. In South Louisiana we have some real swampy muddy areas where I hunt and I just wanted that extra umph if I need it. But to each their own. Still, a nice video you made.

Pretty good! We drove this one for 10,000 miles and had no complaints! Definitely better than Rubicon due to the advanced suspension. And all gladiators daily drive better than wranglers in our opinion.

You'll be sorry you purchased a Gladiator! I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland and my wife had an accident with it back in November 2021 and the front differential was damaged so now it has been sitting at the dealer from then because the dealer can't get part's to repair it so if anything ever happens to your Gladiator and it needs parts you'll never get it back. My dealer has no idea when he will ever be able to get the part's to repair my truck so i'm making $600 a month payments on a paper weight!

Totally preference based. They’re both off-road capable, the High Altitude is more posh, comfy city cruiser. The Mojave is a more performance based trim, I think the Mojave looks better personally. But it’s hard to go wrong either way.

3mo/4k miles is not really a "comprehensive review." While I realize that the JL is miles apart, in terms of reliability things can still go wrong beyond 4k miles. Yes, I also realize, this was 2 years ago.

Hi Jay! I have been following you since I got my Mojave last Saturday. Still learning all of the features and you have helped me a lot. There is one thing I was wondering about. When the radio is on, you can see the clock at the top of the screen. When it off, there is nothing on the screen. No clock, no nothing. I feel there should be the time when the radio is off. My Wrangler had the time even if the radio was off. Somethings I will not take my phone when I go out. Other times, I like the silence. Am I going to have to turn on the radio every now and then just to get the time? Thanks in advance.

Hey Craig! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Let us know if you’d like us to make some others on the Mojave. Admittedly we just had a baby and I have not been making any videos. In regards to your question i actually had to go out to mine and look, I always keep the screen on so I never noticed. I could not find a way to get the time in the gauge cluster so it does seem that if the screen is off you have no time. I know you can dim the screen if the brightness is what drives you to turn it off, maybe that’ll help? Best of luck and thanks again for the support

Very nice video! Thank you very much. Am the owner of a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. (Lived in Springville, Utah, so it had plenty of rock crawling---but not the exotic stuff--while living in Utah. I've been thinking of buying my wife a Gladiator. I was highly prone to wanting to buy her a Rubicon Gladiator, as I'm of the opinion that the Rubicon is "the best Wrangler." Your video, yes, this video I just watched, has convinced me that a Sport S package Gladiator, with appropriate options, of course, will work superbly and save us a good amount of money. We live on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai. Your video is THE video I'll show to my wife prior to flying the approximate 40 mile flight to Kahului, Maui next month for our twelfth anniversary. (We sold my wife's Grand Cherokee Overland diesel, a 2014 model, prior to moving from Springville to Molokai in March 2019. So it's now Debbie's "turn" to get the new car.) It'll be a Gladiator Sport S---thanks to your video! Thank you very much! Andy McKane, 20 October 2023, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

Appreciate it! I battled wind noise quite a bit in this video actually. I used a high pass filter when editing in Premier Pro to eliminate most of the wind noise. But you can put a “dead cat” on your microphone if you are using a shotgun mic plus I have GoPro media mod microphones on my gopros. But I think I may switch to a wireless lapel microphone to try to make it even better.
