Rad! Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! As soon as we saw this color in person we knew it was the one!

Thank you, that's exactly what she's going for. Something that looks great and can perform well both on and off-road. Agreed!! Although, she's not as full blown Jeep obsessed as I am... yet :)

Thank you.

Thanks Kevin! The Mojave's look pretty awesome stock so adding a few mod's really pumps that up on another level

Me too! Not a lot of JT's out there rocking half doors

Such a great color. I would have totally gotten the same color on my JL if it was an option!

Rad!! I'm a big manual transmission fan (two of my prior Wrangler builds were manuals).

Hey Chuck. Mind sharing your deal? I’m looking for one too

Agreed. I eventually found a deal on an auto but I wanted a manual.

I have a Willys manual love it. My 3rd Jeep all manuals don’t think I could have em any other way ✌🏼

Same, my Mojave is a manual. Once you get use to it and know how to make it work well, the thing can really scoot, Throw that tail around in the corners, and put up a good fight and throw a smile on your face off road. On road… well who really likes driving on road anyway 😆

Thanks! My wife had a really good idea of what she wanted to do from the start. Had to figure a few things out with the Mojave having a few differences than some of the other JT models but nothing too crazy

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE we just became first time Jeep owners recently. Bought my wife a 2017 Unlimited Sahara JKU. Didn’t know much about them until we got it. I’ve been binge watching every Jeep channel on KZfaq just to catch up. When I’m ready to get something for myself, I want the same setup your wife has on a Gladiator. We don’t plan on doing any crawling, just exploring/overlanding the Nevada, Utah , and Cali deserts. You channel has been very helpful for a newbie like myself.

@@krstone0 Congrats on the new Jeep! So many options and ways to go with the Jeep builds, it can be overwhelming at times. I'd keep doing what you're doing and getting as much info as you can (try and filter it to people with first hand knowledge/experience with more than one setup if you can). And have fun with it. The build process is half the fun for me.

Awesome! Those 392's are insane!! My first Wrangler was a 2014 2 door Granite Crystal. Love that color.

Thanks. This doesn’t get wheeled hard so we’re not too worried about the reservoir placement. We have them mounted to the bumper with super strong magnets that will stay put for normal day to day driving but can shift/move if enough pressure is applied from a boulder etc.

Thanks!

We’ve been really happy with it

Agree with you on the hood! I’d love to put something similar on my JL.

Thanks!!

Agreed!

Definitely have some more videos planned for the Gladiator. Was just talking about that with my wife a few days ago.

Thanks. I’ve seen someone squeeze a 37 under there but it wasn’t pretty. Luckily for us the the flip up tire Carrie has worked out well for what we need the truck for.

No build thread on any of the forums. She has a REVKIT but it needs some updating. We haven’t updated it since we did the front bumper and winch. . revkit.com/sanctus-jt

Thanks! We've been on a few trails with this one but nothing I'd consider legit rock crawling. In our current configuration it could definitely handle trails rated in the 6-7 range as it has a rear locker and winch but If you plan on doing anything like that consistently you would be better off with the Rubicon, which comes with a front locker as well and the 4:1 transfer case.

I'm actually not familiar with Readylift from a Jeep standpoint as they haven't been a player in the Jeep market before (if they have its been very minor). So I cant speak on the quality of their components and spring rate and ride quality. I can say that every part we put on my wife's Mojave has been from a proven aftermarket Jeep products mfg. She has put just over 50k miles on her Jeep in the last year and a half with zero issues. It drives amazing, we just got back from a trip to Moab UT and back and it drove super smooth on the highway and the trails (even in 40+mph winds on the way back). The Rock Krawler coils are some of the best riding coils I've come across, paired with the strength and durability of the EVO components and Fox Shocks. I've run multiple setups over the three Wrangler's I've owned and what we set her Gladiator up with is one of the best in terms of overall ride quality.

Thanks! Looks like our forests are reopening here soon. We might try and get one more camping trip this year if we can fit it in. If not next year!

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE yea can’t wait for things to open back up. We’re looking forward to Fall camping before the weather gets outta control if we happen to have a crazy winter. I’ll dm you and/or text Adam if we end up heading north before the end of the year. Keep hustling dude videos are looking good and the channel is growing. All good stuff.🤘

Hey Thanks! We wanted to keep the shock travel within its designed travel distance and that's why we added the shock extension brackets in the front. The rear we upgraded to a longer travel Fox 2.5 shock with DCS adjusters. Will be doing the same in the front as well but need to have the lower bolt hole reamed out on the shock to accommodate the larger diameter bolt on the Mojave Editions. I'd recommend adding the extension brackets as the cost is low and that way you don't risk damaging the shock. (with the EVO extension you'd need to ream out the bolt hole on the bracket, just FYI). Yes we added EVO 3" lower bump stops front and rear as well as an EVO raised rear track bar bracket. Yes both are necessary that that lift height. We also added longer front and rear sway bar links and have extended brakes lines to add as well. In addition to those items you will also want to add a Driveshaft Carrier Bearing Drop Kit ( we used Rock Jock) to get that rear driveline at the proper angle. Message me through insta @elevens_jlu if you have any additional questions and or if you'd like me to help you out a build plan together and secure parts. Also check us out for any future parts you may need at discipleoffroad.com/

​@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE Hey, thank you for the reply! I definitely plan on adding the shock extension brackets and I did see that on the website it is stated to ream out the hole from a M12 to M14 for the Mojave. I will also be adding all those parts you mentioned to my list. Originally I was going to go with a FabTech or ReadyLift lift kit, but after seeing the way you have yours setup, I'm definitely going to go the same route! I'm at least two months out from doing my lift, but I'll definitely shoot you a message!

@@matthewsaavedra7216 Sounds good! The parts we have on her Gladiator are from proven companies over years of JEEP experience. These parts mfg's perform on and off road.

Thanks! Rear Links are EVO 12.5" to 13.9"

Both are great options. Gator was only available for half of the year (end) of 2020, so you'd need to track down a used one. I believe Hydro Blue is a color option for 2022 and has been a color Jeep ha offered multiple times over various model years.

Thanks! We used an bracket we found on Amazon. There wasn’t anything else available for the Mojave at the time. EAG 3 inch Cube Windshield Cowl Light Mounts Fit for 2018-2022 Wrangler JL www.amazon.com/dp/B07QRH1GMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_628EAF0A1ZWPKKD7BZR2 We had to source longer bolts as well to make it work.

The magnets have a threaded rod attached to them and a nut to secure them to the reservoir mounts. If you have an instagram account send me a DM on there @elevens_jlu and I can send you a link to the magnets and pictures if needed

Why couldn’t you register it

Yes I believe so. We take the shade off when we put the hardtop back on but if I remember correctly you can leave the shade on with the hardtop.

Yea springs are the same what you’d use on a Rubicon as far as size wise. So any aftermarket spring that would work on a Rubicon would also work on a Mojave.

Thank you, very much appreciate that. We got lucky when we got our Gator. There were only two in the state at that time. I haven’t run the Rock Hard bumper but I have run the EVO QP on my JK, my JL and now my wife’s JT and it’s hands down one of my favorite bumpers ever. You can’t go wrong with that one.

When KZfaqrs take the time to read and respond to viewers the certainly earn my respect and support. OK - clicked the Subscribe and Notify and that is unusual for me. The only think holding me back from the 1/4 pounder is that I will sacrifice my two LED bumper lights. @@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE

We used the Rock Krawler spring correction pads front and rear which helped with the bow. Ours are just slightly bowed (hardly noticeable) also we adjusted the axle position with the adjustable front track bar and control arms. Thank you!

Thanks. No the half doors do not lock

Gearing hasn't been too bad with the 37's. not really noticeable other than it doesn't get into 8th very often. Plan is to re-gear as soon as parts become more available but it still drives pretty great with the 4.10's and 37's.

Wheels are 3.5” backspace with no wheel spacers.

Yes you can leave the sunshade on with the hardtop and we do most of the time. I’m not sure it provides any sound deadening though.

4 inches might be too much for the stock Fox Shocks that come on the Mojave. We run shock extension brackets on the front but are only running a 3" coil, which is about where that shock extension is going to max out your travel on the shock.

Thanks! We have most everything on her build (parts wise) on her Revkit page: Sanctus_JT revkit.com/sanctus-jt/

I saw you added EVo 3’ in bump stops. Was that for the rear only? I appreciate your time and the help

For the Rock Jock AntiRock Front Sway Bar did you buy the kit or just the front?

@@israelambriz9539 We did 3" bump stops front and rear

@@israelambriz9539 We have the Rock Jock Sway bar in the front and the OEM sway bar in the rear with EVO sway bar links.

Nice!

Wheel specs on hers are: 17x9.5 -38mm offset. One thing to keep in mind is that the Mojave & Rubicon models have wider axles that those of the other models. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the max tow pkg option also gets you the wider axles. Not sure if the Willy's has the same width axle as the Mojave?

I'm a huge manual fan! Both of my JK's were manual transmission. That being said, the 8 speed auto-trans on they have now is amazing! I guess it boils down to personal preference.

We got them from Amazon (shhh) ahha. They were the only ones we could find that worked on a Mojave at the time. www.amazon.com/EAG-Windshield-Light-Mounts-Wrangler/dp/B07QRH1GMM/ref=sr_1_43?dchild=1&keywords=a+pillar+light+bracket+jeep+mojave&qid=1631548935&sr=8-43

RK coils have been my favorite of all the coils I have run. EVO makes a great coil as well but we wanted a 3" coil and EVO has either 2.5" or 3.5".

It’s such a great color. One of my all time favorite Jeep colors.

KC does not yet have a bracket for the Mojave. They have one in the works but not sure when they will be available. Our brackets are made by EAG and we got them off Amazon, believe it or not. At the time we were looking to put lights on the a-pillar they were the only option available.

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE thanks man, picked up a set 👍

Rides is great. I really like the Rock Krawler coils and have run them before on my JK. With the shock extension brackets you can still utilize the Mojave factory shock that JEEP put all that R&D into. One of the first things people say when they get in the Mojave (after saying how nice the interior is lol) is how nice it rides for being on 3" lift with 37" tires.

We used the RK Spring Pad Correction kit front and rear and have very minor spring bow. You would hardly notice it if it wasn't pointed out. I know from experience that the JT's and JL's have spring bow issues (with all mfg's not just RK) so we opted to add the correction kit from the start.

The front sway bar links are the Steer Smarts Yeti XD links. Thank you!

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE Thanks!!

Thank you. Awesome and congrats on the new Jeep! I really like the plush ride springs, I ran a set of those on my JL for a while and they provided a great ride. As for the dropdown correction brackets, those are a great way to go to retain that factory ride geometry and ride quality without having to replace control arms. I installed a set of those on a JL that did a 2.5" EVO lift and that Jeep drives and rides very nice. Its a great way to go if you don't plan on doing a bunch of rock crawling. We did the shock extensions as well on the front of our Mojave and still have them on there. Its nice to utilize that tuned Fox Shock that comes with the Mojave's.

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE Maybe some lite crawlin but this is will primarily be my daily driver and used out on the Mojave road..Joshua tree etc. Thanks for the reply as I have no experience with these newer jeeps. Makes me feel like I'm moving in the right direction.

We got them from Amazon. They were the only ones that would work with the Mojave edition hood cowl at the time we ordered them. They are made by EAG. Longer bolts are needed if you want to use them on a Mojave or 392 edition.

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE thanks alot for the info , what are the info on the bolts? Measurements or how length?

@@lemn1201 Good question. I dont remebet the exact measurements. We basically took the stock bolts to the hardware store and sourced longer ones with the same thread pitch and diameter. Unfortunately we threw them out when we upgraded my wifes JT to the KC pro 6 lightbar so I cant double check them for you.

Those are the OEM steps/rails that came stock on her Gladiator off the lot.

Those are OEM Mojave edition rock rails. Well, they are actually more of a step than a rock rail but they work fine for mild to moderate wheeling. Yes, you can definitely step on them. Awesome. The build is half the fun

Bumper is EVO MFG Quarter Pounder.

Sting gray is a killer color too. But that Gator is something else!

I used a few 40lb magnets attached to the reservoir mount. It’s a nice setup b/c the reservoirs stay in place (they are hard to move and take off with the combined magnet strength) but can move enough if needed, say they make contact with a rock or obstacle on the trail.

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE awesome i will try that on mine, thanks!

You'd be looking at a little over $7k to replicate what we did (lift, wheels, tires, etc.) not including shocks. Adding the the Fox 2.5 shocks into the mix and you're looking at around $10k total, to replicate the lift we did on this Gladiator.

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE how much of that estimate was wheels and tires?

@@directedbytp That Wheel and tire combo is currently going to run you around $4,700

Those are Steer Smarts Sway Bar links on the stock sway bar. We’ve since moved on to a Rock Jock Antirock sway bar b/c the Moajave editions don’t come with electronic sway bar disconnects

We used the brackets that come with the Fox 2.5 shocks. They are attached to the bumper with super strong magnets that will allow them to move if pressure from a rock or something hit it off-road

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE where did you order them from I can’t locate anything

These are what we have accutuneoffroad.com/product/universal-fit-remote-reservoir-mount-kit/

Gear ratio is 5.13 and the performance is great with the 38” tires.

yes it is. My wife made it with her decal maker

That is correct. 3.5” backspace on the wheels.

@ELEVENS DIRT LIFE This is the best walk around video too. I'm just starting to look at Gladiators. Your guys explanation of Mohave vs Rubicon is super informative. I'm def leaning towards Mohave. And yes, that color is great. It also has a modern sort of military vibe too. In San Diego, where I live, this color would be enormously popular.

it's black

Those are the OEM Mojave steps/rails.

The phone mount is a Scoshe/Proclip mount

-38mm and 3.5” backspace

No wheel spacers

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE 👍

Wheels are KMC Grenade Crawl beadlock 17x8.5

insta account is @sanctus_jt

Braking is good. It actually brakes better than my JL with the BIG brakes that come with my UD60 axles (needs a brake booster but their aren't any available yet for the JL/JT). No re-gear yet. That's on the list but gears are super hard to find right now as are many other Jeep parts. Thanks!!

Lift has Rock Krawler 3” coils and correction wedges, which add about 3/4”. The rest of the lift components are EVO MFG. we didn’t buy a specific lift kit. We put together the individual components we wanted to achieve the lift we wanted. Tires are 37x12.5 R17 Cooper STT Pro’s. You can find most of the parts on her build on her REVKIT revkit.com/sanctus-jt

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE overall is it closer to a 4” lift with what you’ve added?

@@BradFizer yes, it’s probably closer to 3.5” to 4” with the RK 3” coils and spring correction pads, which add another 1/2” or so

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE thank you. Love the stance of this thing!

@@ELEVENSDIRTLIFE would this be the equivalent to a 4.5” lift on the rubicon since the Mojave sits taller stock or do they all equal out the same after they’re lifted a certain “ amount?

Its a Schoshe Magic Mount magnet on a Proclip mount.

awesome, i'll check them out. thank you.

Offset is -38mm and 3.5” backspace

We found those on Amazon back in 2020 when we got the JT. They were the only option available at the time for the Mojave's. I don't remember the brand though.
