Solid choice, very nice!

For what it's worth - my ex-father-in-law (74y/o I think) saw mine and had no idea what to say, said he didn't even know a color like that existed. Two weeks later, he said something like "on any other vehicle I think it's dumb, but on a Jeep in just works". And he drove Jeeps back in his Army days, pretty good praise I'd say. Not trying to validate my choice, just sharing my experience.

It does stick out, to each their own. Easy to find in parking lots though!
I have to agree with him. Mojito or HellaYella or Punkn just wouldn't work on a 4Runner or Taurus... Or even the other Jeep Models...

My wife wanted me to get the Silver, I talked her into the Mojito.....well once I order one lol. Not trying to be flashy, but this will be my driver and fun vehicle.
I actually wanted the Mojito myself to get all the mopar accessories and make it look like this. I think that is the sickest look on a jeep with the black and green. IMHO looks even nicer than the grey.

That pool was built in 1973 and according to the guy that rebuilt the pool it wasn’t required back then. In the end it all worked out because it was an old pool anyhow.
That makes sense, but why no rebar this time? Because it’s only five feet deep?

@BLLFRG and @Patinito Mojito is my favorite contrast color for my Sting-Gray Sahara. So both of these MOABs are sweet IMO!

Originally I looked at the Sting Grey...but in person is looked like the butt skin of an elephant to me....soooo nope. I love the Granite, but same color as my truck so wife said no lol. She has white.... So I got her to agree to go with a "wild" color. The Mojito with the doors you have would look awesome. I am not opting for the color match fenders, so probably going to keep the green grill.

What is purpose of the false doors? Is it illegal to drive doorless in your state?

That was perfect. I love it in pictures but in person that analogy is spot on. It rubs me the wrong way and now I know why!

Tube doors. For when you don't want your doors on but don't want to fall out on a trail.

Perhaps in rare occasions where a seatbelt won’t do. I’d imagine if you’re that sideways, your Jeep would flip over if you didn’t have some pretty intense flexibility. And the cloth ones? Same thing? I’ve seen both on mall crawlers and it’s a head scratcher for me.

Its more of an aesthetics thing really. While yes a seat-belt keeps you from falling out too, Its nice to have something to support yourself with I guess.

Same thing with my brushguard. I like the looks and I guess it will move brush out of the way... but not REALLY needed.
