Rear locker on is possible in 4H. Maybe on your next review of the Mojave you can try this- could make a difference. 1. Put in 4h 2. Put on offrroad + this should turn off traction control too 3. Press and hold traction control button for 5 sec. Beeping on the counsel will tell you stability control is off 4. Press lockers on. Et viola double the fun in 4H!

The auto market has gotten way out of touch with reality when it comes to pricing, and people are just too stupid to stop buying new...so what happens, the prices just keep on climbing.

I have a Mojave , didn't get it for offroading, but for the confort ride it gives vs a Rubicon, I will probably not do major off roading like Isee in some youtubers chanels, but I know that if i do so the Mojave have the capacity to follow and more, I find the Mojave less stiff on the road than other editions, I road tested an Overlander and a Rubicon, they are very different from each other, but the best ride was on in the Mojave, the one I test drove add 17 kms on it and still on Shipping Mode, thats the one I bought. it have allthe bells and wistles exept for the sunrider top and the bluetooth speaker, was listed 79k isssh, and got it taxes in 81k issk with all the rebates. It's a 2023 and the best time to get them is always just before the new ones come out, it came as a surprise for us to get a Gladiator, it was our little teenagers dream to get one Jeep CJ5 one day. I was shopping for a Mustang Bullit at first, then got side tracked by an Audi RS5, than when to a Jeep dealeship that had an Audi, walk into the show room after looking at it, and there it was, a black Gladiator Willy's on steroids, we just travelled back in time and forgot about the Stang and Audi. And well here we are with a Jeep Gladiator Mojave and we dont have any regrets at all. If theres something we wouldn't go back on our decision.

I love my Mojave. Are there better, faster less expensive mid sizers out there? Sure! But they cant flip the top, go full air, remove the doors, back glass and front (if you wanted to). Still drives like a Jeep though. On the colour I'm not a fan of the Yellow. My personal fav which is what I have is the Sarge Green. My one complaint though and it wasn't brought up in the video is I feel it needs some more power. She's a heavy midsizer. and some HP and Torque would be a wonderful addition. Who knows maybe will see the Hurricane Engine in the near future or something hybrid to kick up those numbers.

I just got this truck for an incredible price with discounts… 23% discount! Use end of the year deals.. it is a sweet truck

The wander on-road is probably due to what makes a Jeep good off-road: loose suspension, recirculating-ball steering, all-terrain tires, etc.

The Mojave has cast iron knuckles, while all the other JT/JL including the Rubicon have aluminum knuckles.

I'm leaning towards the later but the shocks on the Mojave from factory, is nice (also, the RUbi has better armor? so better rock crawler for a not so good driver like me?)

Although the sway bar is fixed that is the tierod you grabbed.

The Gladiators (both Rubi and Mojave) need the Extreme Recon or "X" package which includes upgraded rear axle, 35's, 4.56 gearing, steel bumpers, etc. A 4xE engine option could be added in 2024 instead of waiting until 2025. Jeep, make it happen!

THe "jeep wander" is... a jeep feature? quirk? a charasteristic I was used to on even my fairly more techy (for a jeep) 4Xe Wrangler. REfresh for '24 is nice truck.
