One Year Review of the Gladiator Mojave (REAL review) [ep 87]

It's been a year since we've had our Gladiator Mojave and it's been FULL of action! We'll have gone through two different lifts, so we thought it was a good idea to make a video of how we even got to this point.
Is the Mojave the right choice? What about the disadvantages, and would we do it all over again?
Watch and find out!

    I've been driving a Jeep, specifically a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, since April 2012. I drove Land Rovers, the "Series" vehicles, from 1964 to 1993. It didn't take a year before I dearly loved my Rubicon. As soon as I heard you were "rock crawling" with the Mojave, I said to my wife, "They should have bought a Gladiator Rubicon." I've been toying with the idea of buying a Jeep Gladiator to replace my 2011 Buick Enclave. (We moved to Molokai from Springville, Utah in March 2019.) For the past month or so I've been thinking over which Gladiator model we should purchase. The Gladiator in stock form is simply far too long for serious rock crawling. I'm seventy-five. Rock crawling under the best of circumstances on Molokai's lava rock would probably destroy the toughest of vehicles. So I've been working on selling my wife on the purchase of a new Gladiator. Have not yet told her "It'll need to be a Rubicon," as that's at least $10,000 more than Deb wants to see us spend. Fact is, I so dearly love our Wrangler Rubicon, I wouldn't want any other Wrangler or Gladiator model. (We've rented 4 or 5 Gladiators while visiting Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island over the last 3 or 4 years. Have not yet driven a Gladiator Rubicon.) You've made a superb video here. I'll share it with my wife tomorrow. I think it'll help sell her on "the right Gladiator to buy!" Welcome to the Jeep community! Keep up with your Jeep driving!

    I’d rather have the Mojave than the Rubicon. Simply add a manual disconnect to the sway bar. Mojave has a Frame that is reinforced around the front suspension from the factory. You can always add the air locker to the front differential. I think the Mojave is the better all around truck. The Mojave is more of a desert race truck, and the Rubicon is a rock crawler.

Particularly for the unexperienced the owner. Things like how to engage (and disengage when done) in high and low 4x4, the use of the locker, the off road plus etc. Since I have seen you from the beginning in you mojave maybe you could make a video about this. If you have done so, please let me know. Happy Holidays!

But when it came down on your bumper I did cringe a little lol. I purchased a 2022 rubicon back in may for overlanding. So far I’ve added a Clayton 3.5” overland plus lift , fox 2.0 shocks, 37-12.50 Cooper sst pro’s, dirty life bead lock wheels, a tazer, an DV8 front stubby bumper with a winch and some interior stuff and a custom bed cover/ tent rack that I built myself. I came from a 2019 Chevy Silverado trail boss that we wheeled the guts out of. And I’ve got to say that I am absolutely in love with my gladiator.

    Enjoyed the video, I went down the rock crawling rabbit hole in 1999. It can be very intimidating at first for sure. The problem with the Gladiator is too long of a wheel base and a lousy departure angle because of the bed. I’m not knocking it, it’s the nature of the beast. I’m actually in the market for one and have pretty much decided to get the Mojave because it will take me anywhere I want to go. I have a dedicated crawler that going up for sale as those days are over for me. I have had a blast crawling and have met some great people on the trails. It’s a great sport but very expensive.

    Hi guys. Love the video. Just an FYI ..the Gladiators as with the Wranglers keep their value really well..that said you have 2 choices..you could trade it for Rubicon or you can just build up your Mojave..the Mojave has a beefier frame and more comfortable seats than Rubicon. Throw a good lift on it and some air lockers for the front axle and a quik disconnect for sway bar and your proble.s are mostly solved. Can't wait to see your next adventure. 😁

I still would build on the Mojave (saying that I had the money) rather than giving up the enhanced structure (that the Rubicon lacks). I'm getting braided steel brake lines to allow for extreme articulation and I'm considering Apex Autolynx in front, and anti-rocks in the rear. Not all at once, but I think that should get me through my adventurous spirit. We shall see. Keep up the good work!

    I just needed a medium-size truck, and set my sights on either a Rubicon or Mojave Gladiator. Purchased a just-off-lease 2021 Mojave (a few days ago), in that gorgeous Sarge Green, with all the options, 33K miles, and I'm in love with it. When these stock 33" tires wear down, I'll upgrade to 35s but stick with my stock wheels, & maybe a TeraFlex 1.5” Performance Spacer Leveling Kit. Not really interested in rock crawlin' (but will try it), and will definitely hit a few trails with this Mojave. Having a truck with removable top & doors seems to be the best of all worlds. Open air of a motorcycle ride, but much safer for us & the grandkids. Lookin' forward to learning the JEEP style of living. Thanks for the video!🦆

    Great video, great info. Great pick getting the Mojave, I have the 2022 and I love the thing. I was actually thinking about getting a Rubicon, but once I looked into the difference between the two I figured I was going to get a lot more out of the Mojave. I got mine under $50k, it's a manual, but the basic package has everything I need. Mine sat on the dealer's lot for months so I think they finally decided it needed to move and dropped the price to $5k so I jumped on it.

I want to keep the military theme going for my gladiator and I'll install a Warn winch good for 12,000 pounds and front fender Jerry can mounts. I've got the tan seat covers with the Molly panel bags for more storage and that military look.

    You still would have ran into a lot of the same issues even if you had a stock Rubicon. And the JT Rubicon doesn’t quite ride as well as the Mojave and doesn’t have the frame reinforcements that the Mojave has. The front locker does help but your main issues were the height and longer wheel base. And quite frankly, inexperience. We all go through this stage so that’s to be expected. You can add a front locker as well. Eaton makes one that’s like $1300. I’ve owned several Rubicons and a lot of other vehicles and I’m in love with the Mojave so far. I haven’t really gotten it on the trails yet but I’ve had many years of learning what types of trails I like to ride and that various types of vehicles can do. So that has a lot to do with it too. People wheel and rock crawl with much less capable Jeeps such as the sport and Saharas all the time. I really enjoyed hearing about your experience with the Mojave and how y’all got into Jeeping! It’s definitely a lifestyle type of vehicle.

    I also started looking at the mojave and comparing it to the rubicon. The Mojave have iron steering knuckles, it has a wider stance than the rubicon, full length full box frame, fox shock uses 7/8 in bolts rather than the 3/4 in the Rubicon uses and it has stiffiners at all mount locations. The things the Mojave doesn't have are the rubicon transfer case, front sway bar disconnect and front lockers. It would seem the Rubicon would fit your lifestyle better than the Mojave based on your preference for off reading. Good luck.

It’s definitely something I would love to keep for a long time so I might give in. What you think brother any thoughts on financing one. I was thinking dealership is my only option. Is it best to pay it off the sooner the better cause of the high interest rate? Cause if it’s 53k ticket price I know I only want to spend 53k-55k tops with financing it for like 2 years maybe less. Don’t want to finance for over 5 years cause I know that would really hurt my pocket. Any feedback on that brother? Thank you.

    That's a tough call! Our kids are 12 and 16 but if I had a baby....the lack of side curtain air bags is what would make me choose something more safe depending on how much you drive. Congrats on the baby!

    I just would hate giving up the reinforced frame by going to Rubicon. Like another person said' front axle disconnect and sway bar.... you have Rubicon, other than gearing. Have apex, just planning on disconnect. $1400

    The reinforced frame is only in certain parts to support rough landings when running sand dunes. I think the biggest thing about not going Rubicon is the t case. With the Mojave geared so high you end up using A LOT of brake on the trail whereas in some cases in 4LO the Rubicon will just creep.

    You should be able to get a front air locker for your jeep without having to get the Rubicon gladiator. Or a Detroit front locker would work. 🤔

    I was wanting a jeep gladiator. But I have always been a die hard chevy guy. So I'm 75 years old so I got a Z71 chevy Colorado so much electronics I hate that truck. Never drive it you send a lot of time looking at a screen. That is not driving for me. I know jeeps have less electronics. More hands on the old way I like that better. The jeep I remember having was a 1949 Willie's had a 4 cylinder. I Blu it up put a 300 horse power 327 chevy motor in it. Had a lot of fun with that truck it bad fast. I still wish I got the jeep. Have so much money in this chevy going to probably keep it. It is loaded with everything over 50 thousand in it. If I could get most of my money back I would probably have a jeep. Live and learn good luck with your truck

    Love the approach you guys have had. As a Mojave owner, I am doing some vicarious living through you and learning what it can and can’t do. I still can’t believe You are running 37s on stock rims, airing down and haven’t blown a bead… Just scratching my head… Thank you!

    It's VERY common to not have beadlocks and air down. Especially if staying above 13-15psi.

    Seems like for what you are doing, at least in the video, a Rubicon would have been a better choice. The Mojave is designed around going faster in the desert. The Rubicon is the rock crawler.

    I don’t understand why you didn’t just add a front locker so it’s then like the Rubicon? You have a more rugged truck than the Rubicon. Just add it.
