This is a great idea, in fact I did this to my Mojave, however I used carbon fiber square rod off of Amazon, much cheaper ( less than 20 bucks) also your just cutting rod to length, so you can use a Dremel easily, as opposed to using a sheet of C/F, then just used a good epoxy to seal it up. Also used packing foam to seal up the "hoop" then did a simple wrap in black gaffer's tape just to keep it from looking too "fugly"
We haven’t seen the second generation of those body mouth posts. So I don’t know what they look like. Are the gunnels still there, even if they’re not as deep?
There are many differences. But the reason yours will not wheelie is you have to light of diff fluid in your center diff. Stiffen up your center diff fluid and your front wheels will stand right up, but you’ll probably need a wheelie bar. If you watch my 101 video on differentials I go over this. Best of luck, AJ.
When looking at how the airs make them the height that the Mojave. hits the ground there will always be broken parts. I don't understand the supposed upgrade that you do. already existing thicker body post. I don't know how your carbon fiber modification will help. if you're going to follow it throwing high
It looks interesting but at the same time not. So there are already those same body post more reinforced and a little thicker. but remember that part always takes a lot of the hit when you jump the mojave and don't land well. it's less expensive than spending all that time doing that kind of "upgrade" for $17 dollars you save all that time cutting, marking and gluing than buying the upgraded body post. I only say. 🤷
Yeah I have those "new"thicker body post and looks more stronger that the stock ones. That kind of "upgrade" do not benefit if you send the mojave on high jumps. That's the most part all the time brake.so
You are not wrong, but both ways work. We believe this: "Find the method that suits you and go with it". We never tell what someone "Has to do" because each person must decide for themselves. We only show what works for us. I'm familiar with the tool you mentioned, in fact, I've used them a lot, but we currently do not have one in the studio, plus, many of our viewers may not have one either, that's why we use the workaround. I appreciate your input and we may purchase one to add to our tool box in the future. Thanks for commenting. AJ
Great fix!!! Wow! You really didn’t mess around! You broke it good! I’m building one, this will come in handy! Thanks!!!👍💯
Glad I could help. And...thanks for always checking in on us here. 😎👍
Great song choice
I agree. Thanks. AJ
Toughest truck out of the box hands down , some closed cell foam under the body posts fixes that problem as well .
Definitely a help! Heard it's the only downside to the car
Nice video and really very extreme game🙂
Thanks for the visit 😎👍
That is an excellent tip , thank you very much for sharing this with us guys out here , stay safe , Keith...
Any time! 😎👍
Thanks for the video! I’m going to do this right now. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you😎👍
Great tip and well presented 👍👌👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you, sir, gonna build this one too, looks like a great upgrade!
It's a fun project. I hope you like it. AJ

Cute or ugly, we do what we have to to make them tough. Thanks for sharing. AJ
Wd-40 treatment on all plastics has worked for me with my Mojave and Baja Rey and I thrash them hard.
That is definitely an option. Thanks for the comment. AJ
I wonder how strong it would be just adding a solid amount of hot glue to that entire channel on the backside of that mount
That would be a good test platform. Let me know how it works for ya. I'm curious. AJ
I have the mojave blx v2
And my body post mount are a bit different
That carbon fiber piece Won’t sit deep as you show on this video
Any suggestions?

@@AJJAMStudios the gunnels are not deep anymore as the one you show in your video
I heard the V2 is tougher than the V1. Perhaps it’s not necessary to upgrade. Please let me know if you have issues. 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios please post the repairs video
Also please if you have any idea of what aluminum parts to replace to give the suspension more strength, I greatly appreciated
What's the difference between the BLX and the EBX? And are you running 6s? Cause mine won't wheelie like that.
There are many differences. But the reason yours will not wheelie is you have to light of diff fluid in your center diff.

instead of using tape why not use the proper tool and measure it? a sliding caliper is not that expensive. And you can use it in many places
