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!

The level of humbleness coming from you guys is truly respectable and rare. People like you two are so fun always so fun to have around and teach, welcome to the jeep community, you guys are meant to be here ❤.

In the process of getting a 2023 Mojave in Sarge Green. Love it! Hear it’s great on the highway too. Hopefully by the time you read this, the bank will make it happen. Wish us luck!

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.

Your honesty benefits many. Great video guys

The best comment I have heard - Jeeps are Adult Legos - no one builds them the same. Build your own!

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!🦆

Welcome to Jeeps. I started with an old CJ-7 and have never looked back. Great adventures with great people everywhere you turn. I too love my Mohave, it is a beast in the woods and a joy as a daily. Good points on where you armored up. Thanks for sharing!

Thankyou for sharing
I just got my Mojave about 5 months ago and love it
I’ve not done serious rock crawling but I’m amazed at its capability on these Vancouver island back roads with digouts to keep you from entering in most
Vehicles
I’m looking for a club this summer and yes I expect to be doing a lot of upgrades
It’s my first jeep and coming from a 1500 ram o just can’t say enough good things about it

Hello again guys. I went back to watch this video again. I like it very much. It came to my mind that there are not so many videos in YouTube about the mojave. 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!

Welcome to the Jeep World. It's a long time love affair and you'll get your long wheel base and long departure angle Jeep figured out. Keep at it! We are running a 2002 TJ and are still working on it.

Great video. I just got a 24 Mojave. I was torn between it and the Rubi. I decided that if I was going rock crawling, Id get a rubi and Id get a wrangler. So far i love it the Mojave.

[brandonwilliams]

y'all did a great job with this. Living in the southeast, its nice having a winch! This red clay can be slick, and rather unforgiving! Keep on the great work! Your Gladiator looks great on 37's.

[johnomahony]

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. 😁

Great video, I’ve watched quite a few of y’all’s videos. Glad to hear the inspiring words. I watched the holy cross video ( which I’d love to do someday). 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.

[RaptorMike-Bailey]

Great story! Welcome to jeeping! Hope you guys stay a while. 😎
Mojave’s are great. Add a front locker and you’ve already got disco’s. 👍🏼

[TrailerTravelin]

Love watching the places you bring the Gladiator. Happy Anniversary.

[paulsumpter]

I live in Hedgesville WV, and have been to Peters Mill several times with friends. One of them have a Gladiator Rubicon. Always a fun time.

[martincorona]

See. That's why i got a mojave about the same time you did, and a two door rubicon. Good video guys.

[frederickdillingham]

Great video! Love the information you both provided. Can’t wait to see you on the road or trail in az!

[Afrojeeper]

Get video.. I'm now going through mods to see what fits on my Mojave..Love your rig 👍👍👍
