it's twice as good!

I'm glad to come across this. I sold my '78 and '83 J10 when we were expecting our first kid. Now they are 4 and 2 years old. I have a newer Ram but wanted something additional for wheeling and camping. I recently bought a new 2023 Mojave for over 25% off MSRP, $42K. Much different animal than my J10s and other AMC/Chrysler oriented jeeps. But the family love it. I'm in coastal Texas, and we can't stop visiting the local islands/beaches. It's phenomenal on washboard ranch roads. I'll upgrade the suspension when the oem parts wear, as I do with all trucks. It's nice to have something competent factory, though. I really think the Gladiator would be excellent with a 5.7L Hemi. I'm familiar and comfortable wrenching on those. Keeping it cool would be a task. Please keep up with theae podcasts, I subscribed.

I have a mojave with a smartcap and rooftop tent and it's great. The bed is loaded with gear to. Have a steel front bumper with a winch and I have had no problem. Keep in mind I only overland with light off roading but yeah,I love it🤙

TFL really needs to watch this so they understand the Mojave vs Rubicon

I think the frame stiffening is arguably the best thing about the Mojave. Also, I did the numbers. It’s actually cheaper to buy a Mojave & add the Rubicon stuff that Mojave doesn’t have than it is to buy a Rubicon & add the Mojave stuff that Rubicon doesn’t have.

I took delivery of my 2023 Mojave yesterday and you have now broken my heart. I had my heart set on the Rubicon but when I test drove them back to back the ride was night and day and since I'm not going to be rock crawling I went with the Mojave. I had previously seen your 2 videos on the Mojave lifts and didn't think twice. Now you've just done a 180 on me and I'm questioning life lol. Is it that shit with the performance spacer lift from Teraflex? I only want to put 35's on it.

I will say, a rebuild of the factory Mojave Fox shocks does wonders for them! Night and day difference especially if you have a lot of miles on them. If interested, I know a guy who does those rebuilds and has sets on the shelf rebuilt and ready to go ;) If you guys have pull off Mojave shocks sitting around, I'll gladly take them off your hands to add to my rebuild shock exchange program!

ok, I am a Mojave guy-I don’t want a rock crawler but love to wheel offroad. Mud, sand and snow and nothing over class 4/5 for rocks. I think you have the package dialed in-392, Teraflex suspension, some protection for the oil pan would be awesome and no more that 37” tires. ( the Kracken would be a must have). How much of a mortgage does that come to? Keep up the great work!💪

Great!! Mind blown. Been trying to find the best suspension for the Mojave and all the Overlanding gear, AND still keep the ride quality of the Mojave. I think you spelled out the exact component from Teraflex ($1821) and Falcon($2022). So the Mojave sits higher than the Rubicon, with the 3.5" lift what is the net gain in height (with factory tires)? Looking forward to the next several episodes!

GREAT videos guys, VERY informative!! I would love to see a podcast on the Jeep Gladiator Ecodiesel. I know they’re not offering that engine any more, but I think there is a lot of owners that would appreciate your experience with them. I absolutely love that engine so far, but I need to how to maintain this thing for the long haul or should I get rid of it. Love the content!

Dude! That was an epic podcast guys, I really enjoyed it, and thank you from Michigan. I am getting closer to paying off my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara within twelve months or less. I have a challenging decision what is best for a simple overlanding rig is either Rubicon or Mojave. There are not many crazy obstacles in Michigan like yours but Ozark National Park is on my list to overlanding in 2026/27. Rubicon or Mojave, my gut telling me is Rubicon is the right rig for what I like to do as overlanding. Is that right move? I really like Mojave because of the style and special edition paint color yellowish.

@TheEPICBeardedGinger

3 ай бұрын

Both will overland in style, and both would need a new lift to do the job of overlanding with to much fancy camp gear in tow.

I saw some videos of people tightening up the set screw on the steering box to take out the slop in the steering wheel that the Jeep seem to have. I have a 22 Rubicon with the steel steering box and it doesn’t seem to be really bad or problematic, but there is a slight slack when steering do you guys have any solutions to those issue or upgrade options to make it solid Thanks, Chris

Noob question. What’s the difference with having a 2.5” lift with drop brackets vs 3”+ lift with drop brackets? Is it that much of a difference? I’m stuck with low garage dilemma and can’t afford a new home because I own a Jeep.

@EPIC-4WD

3 ай бұрын

We typically don't do a 2.5" lift and the front drop brackets as it adds too much caster. If we have to do a 2.5" lift, we would just do lower front adjustable Alpine IR arms instead of the drop brackets. However, it won't ride as well as a 3.5" with drop brackets.
