Just an FYI, the temperature here in Northern Alberta has been brutal the past few days. Friday when I went to work it was -40 c / -40 f. I do have a block-heater, and it was plugged in. No issues at all with the diesel in the cold weather so far at all. Love this rig.

Finally, after close to 5 months, it arrived! I've moved most of my accessories over from my old Gladiator (Mojave) - and have just a few things left, but the weather is cold and I'm being a wimp. lol. I did get the important stuff over though. So far I have a 3" Rock Krawler lift; with...

My wife runs 33s which are up one size from factory on her rig. I am running 34" and am regeared to 4.56.

Yes, new. 2023 as far as I know, but I will find out in a few months. :)

Love the 2 liter turbo; but I really am not a fan of the 3.6 V6. I have one in my Gladiator; and it is horrible for towing, and wicked on fuel. My wife has a 2020 Wrangler with the 2T; small lift, running 33s, and she regularly gets 25 to 28 MPG, while I can barely scratch 20. Loaded; mine...

Recently decided to ditch the factory Fox Mojave shocks; for a set of Falcon 2.1's. The Jeep rides a lot better now; no clunking, no bucking or pitching. I really think Jeep missed the boat on the suspension for the Mojave. The Falcons are a massive improvement. I also installed my CB Bar...

Oh, this would be heavenly! I use my Gladiator Mojave daily (it's my only 4 wheeled vehicle) - and as much as I enjoy getting off the beaten path, I also have to haul my dirt bikes, and tow my RV! This sounds like a match made in heaven!

It was an actual 2" lift over stock; which is why I chose the SkyJacker springs; they were specific to the Mojave. Joe.

Oh, kind of forgot to update things. :) I ended up getting a 2" Lift using coil springs from Skyjacker, plus a set of AEV geometry correcting brackets. Rides amazing, and I did end up going to 35 x 12.50 R17. It is working incredibly well; no issues at all.

Just a quick question. In the summer I use my Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop; I assume the bar will work OK with that?

I am adding this new version to my wish list for my JT and my wife's JLU. :) We have GMRS radios and this would be a way better mounting option. I look forward to them being available. Hopefully shipping to Canada doesn't frighten me. :D I'll order two and get discounted shipping!

Oh, just some information. Stock on the JL at least, backspacing is set at 6" (with stock wheels) - which have a +44mm offset. I am using the Black Rhino Abrams wheels, which are -18mm offset, 4.54" backspacing. They are a 17 x 9.5" wheel. My wife is using a Black Rhino Warlord wheel, 17 x...

I am a big fan of the Black Rhino wheels. Lots of options and ours (my wife has a JLU, and I have a JT) have taken a beating without issue at all.

I had a JL Wrangler that was being built up; but discovered this past summer that a pickup would make a lot more sense for me. So, build start-over! So far I have moved over the front bumper, lights, winch, and some other minor things. I have a AEV 2" lift coming, plus a TeraFlex adjustable...

Good day all! I just joined the group after watching the YouTube channel. I live in Edmonton, AB, Canada, where the weather outside is currently... frightful. (-33 Celsius). I am an avid adventurer (mostly on motorcycles in the past), and I hope to do a lot more travelling once...
