I am excited to see what you do with the new rig!!

@@TrailCartel I’m listening to Bubba and you on “the Parts room”. We will be using y’all’s recommendations!

@@executive_coach_andyobrien1827 don't know if I want the diesel or the gas mojave. It's a hard choice.

@@turboleggy did you look into the overheating issues with the diesel? My has Mojave has been great.

Seem like DW is always looming.

Thank you!!

Thank you!

That was a month ago. things have changed :)

I like AEV’s spacer lift. We have had good luck with the skyjacker lift. Four of my friends are running them on their Rubicons and haven’t had any trouble. I just needed something made for the Mojave so I used AEV on mine. I am super happy with the AEV kit. It’s a little more expensive but it came with spacers for the driveline and I liked AEV’s sway bar links better. Keep me posted on your build! I love those diesels.

I have used Sams Offroad in the past for gears. They were great to work with. I use Exodus4x4 in New Braunfels for everything I can’t or don’t want to do. I am biased though :) Mojave’s are great platforms. What are planning to do?

I did loosen them and removed the track bars to droop is as far as I could. Then tightened everything up on the ground under its own weight.

@@TrailCartel thanks very much!

get a terra flex 2.5 spacer lift kit or rough country if you want to go cheaper they have warranty if anything goes wrong

I put the carrier bearing spacers in on the rear drive line and everything has been fine.

Lucas have you installed the correct brackets yet im curious myself if they're needed?

Great Question. We did not use them... I remember we had a discussion about it though. The instructions did not say to use them but didn't not say to discard them either. I think we made the right choice. Thanks for Watching!

The front Axle is off 1.25" to the driver side and the rear is .5" to the passenger side. I am still running the factory trackbars and it drives fine but I am have adjustable track bars on the list for the second phase of the build. The Mojave really rides great with the 2" lift. I don't think geometry correction bracket for the control arms are needed. i Personally is don't look at brackets or long arms until I get to the 4.5" lift height. Just an opinion/preference so take it for what its worth.. Thanks for watching. Keep me posted on your build

@@TrailCartel ordered the lift and geo brackets for now, will get adjustable track bars with a few more OT shifts at the PD! I’ve heard good things about the JKS and steer smart yeti. Any experience with them?

The lift with the SNAP was out of stock when I did this. I do like some of the features of the tazer so it worked out great.

Thanks for the sub!

In my opinion it is the best riding Gladiator Jeep produces but it is nothing like and F150 on the highway. Raptor wins on the highway in my book. Thanks for watching

I used this lift kit and teraflex adjustable lcas and got my camber to go off. Now is damaging my new k02 35. Don’t know what I did wrong

@@miguelcantos3269 I just installed my AEV kit and Mopar Performance LCAs........rides 100% like stock.

Good I got my Mojave 2022 used with 7k miles already had the aev kit. I put new k02 tires and did alignment. My caster was off. So Igot lcas for caster. And now having problems with camber. Car drives good but is getting my front tires choppy

@@miguelcantos3269 which LCAs did you go with?

@@sellickusa lift alpine adjustable teraflex

I use a Tazer mini to correct the tire size . Once that’s done the speedometer will be correct.

AEV makes one for the Rubicon/ non Mojave JT. Thanks for watching and especially for subbing!

I am not sure. I have a buddy who runs one on his JT. I’ll see if he will chime in on this thread.

Not when lifting it, but if you go with 12.50 wide tires it will help with backspacing clearances.

It’s back to a stock feel after re gearing but it will never feel like the diesel. I wanted a diesel but found a great deal on the Mojave so I went this route. Also the Mojave leaves the door open for hemi swap. I am getting 15mpg.

I have a Mojave sitting on 37s and I have a lot of torque and power it shocked me it was the reason I bought it plus it looks good 👍

@@digger1825 yeah the Mohave is geared for the speed.

Can you go off road with the AEV spacer lift?

I swapped to 488s. If I was to do it again I would go with 513s

I am am using the Synergy spacers. They are 1.75" thick. Thanks for watching the video

Is there a functional purpose to spacers or just for looks?

@@antiantifans1914 in the front 37s will definitely get into the LCAs and possible the frame when turned and flexing. Its closer to doable with the mojave offset wheels but still too close for comfort.

Thank you! We put 4.88s in and added a Eaton locker in the front

@@TrailCartel did you notice an improvement in MPG and overall performance putting in the 4,88's? I'm doing the same lift and 37's on my Mojave soon, I tow a 3500LB camper often, so thinking the 4.88's would definitely be a benefit, or maybe 5.13's because of towing. thanks!

@@LenSilvester The MPG stayed the same but the 4.88s gave me back the factory performance. If I was towing with mine I would have went with 5.13s.

Yeah it would hit the bump pretty quick before I put the AEV levinging kit on. I ultimately ended up changing the shocks to 3.0s.

Yeah i replaced my coils and went with falcon 3.1’s

I am very happy with the Mojave so far. We added a front locker and re-geared it to 4.88s a few weeks ago.

@@TrailCartel seems like one would have it all at the point. How much extra was the regear and front locker?

@@turboleggy depending on the locker id expect is around $3000 if electric and $500 extra if air depending on compressor. I bought a sport diesel JT because it already had the cast iron knuckles and I had currie semi float 60s installed with the lift. Considering the ~ $2000 for a regear its virtually the same and now for my driving style a bulletproof setup. Wasnt much more than going to a rubicon and I would have at least needed a front driveshaft and steering upgrades no matter what. The stock brakes with upgraded pads stop the Jeep just fine on 39s and it still gets about 24 mpg at 68mph. Its got a rustys 4” kit but ive swapped to 3.5” teraflex springs and falcon e-adapt shocks. Rides and drives like a dream. I figure im about $7500 over what a factory rubicon would have cost.

@@mattbrew11 cool build man. I didn't know anything about off roading really and just getting into. I think anyone would take that over a rubi. I thought about doing an expensive build but it's gonna be mild just - 35s, Mopar lift, ecu tune. I thought about dropping some coin on a suspension but it's really expensive to make these things go fast off road and not break conpared to a sxs. I'm taking notes though, if things break those sound like the parts I would want.

@@turboleggy get an ironman lift kit their suspension is heavy duty and I would go with an intake and a straight exhaust with a chip to upgrade your jeeps horse power

So far its been great! I have put 6k miles on it with no issues.

@@TrailCartel great 👍

Might have been me. I run around there. The Mojave is a little different now. :)

It did great on them. I put a lot of daily miles on them and a Moab/Colorado trip. I’m on 38’s now. Finishing up the changes and Working on an update/walk around video.

@@TrailCartel to go to 38's, did you do anything else. I e track bars, control arms, bigger lift??? I'm getting ready to do a 2 1/2" in my Rubicon to go from 35s to 37s and really thinking about the new 38x13.50x17 Patagonia MT-02s in an 8 ply. Also, re-gearing??? Did you swap gears or axles.

@@ElmoWV304 I did change to a 4” lift to accommodate the 38’s. With the new lift a added a synergy track to align the front axle and a synergy relocation bracket to align the rear axle. I had already changed the gears to 4.88 when I was on 37s

@@TrailCartel let’s see em!

Because I want to keep the same rims as you did and save some money

Main reason I did it too. I do like the looks of the stock Mojave wheels and the KMC rims I wanted were on backorder so it made choice easy. Shop tech measured the rim and said it was the minimum they could do. I'm glad they did it cause I like the way it turned out.

@@TrailCartel nice, you’re a gentleman for actually answering these questions here thanks ! Last one I promise lol are they the 37x17x12.5 or 13.5 ? And does it matter cuz I can only find the 13.5 available currently

Thank you. No complaints. Great set up for The money.

@@TrailCartel do you feel any difference in ride quality?

@@alamanako It still rides great. I have re geared since making this video and it now it uses 8th gear on the Highway.

I went with Synergy’s track bar. Thanks for watching!

I called and scheduled the re-gear as soon as I put 37's on it. It was drivable in town with 4.10s but i didn't like it on the highway.

@@TrailCartel thanks for the reply. So many opinions on rehearing or not regearing. I have one last question do you feel like not gearing would have meant actual damage to the tranny or just bad mpgs and sluggish on the freeway? Sweet jeep BTW. I love my mojave so far.

@@antiantifans1914 I just wanted to get 8th gear back on the highway. We were adding a front locker so we geared while it was open. I went with 4.88 gears.

@@antiantifans1914 sorry to keep jumping on posts but the whole experience of driving the jeep is better regeared I promise. My diesel is back to beast mode with 4.56. If you tow at all id do 5.13 with the v6 personally

@@mattbrew11 I am interested in doing 35 inch tires I think. Not sure if 4.88 gear is the best incase i go up later. 37s seems like to do it right I would have to beef up everything from axles to steering. Not sure I want to put that money out for something that is my daily driver

15.8 after re gearing

Thank for stopping by and taking the time to make a negative comment.
