2022 Mojito! Wrangler 392, 2020 Neon Gladiator

We have been wanting to see a Mojito! Wrangler 392 and since Jeep has never made one, we decided to make our own! This time we didn't want to do another wrap, in fact, Kim insisted on actually painting this one Mojito! Green. When we ordered this 392 back in February, we ordered it black knowing that it was going to be custom painted Mojito. We had reached out to our body shop we use for a quote based on us doing all the work to disassemble and reassemble the Jeep so all he had to do was paint it, and he gave us a quote we couldn't refuse. So now I believe we have the only Factory 392 that is painted Mojito Green! We will have it all back fully assembled with new fenders, rock rails, to go along with our Clayton Lift and 40's this week. I will post more details in the next week!



*edit with full build details:
2022 Wrangler 392 - originally Black custom painted Mojito! Green
- Clayton OffRoad 3.5” Overland Lift
- Teraflex Nomad Split Spoke Wheels Bronze
- 40” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss Tires
- King Dual Reservoir Shocks

*edited 11/2/22 with more build details:
-Metalcloak Front and Rear Fenders painted Mojito with powdercoated Rails
-Metalcloak Overline Rocker Rails
-Metalcloak rear wheel well liners
-Rusty's Spare Tire Carrier for the 40" tire
-Custom Cerakoted Grill slots to match Bronze
-Rear Hatch Lightbar
-Factory OEM Half Doors Painted Mojito!

We had already completed some trimming of the rear wheel wells and the Metalcloak fenders to match, but after a weekend at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes we quickly realized we are rubbing the Metalcloak rear wheel well liners, and the wheel well. So we have to go back to the drawing board for some more trimming to be able to properly flex this thing. We are also still working on the front wheel well liners due to the windshield washer reservoir, so for now we just chopped up the stock front fender liners to "work".
Here is our unveiling of the build video as of 11/2/22:



Here’s the video from when we did the lift, wheels, tires:



*Just added a side by side photo of how it looked stock from the factory, versus how it looks now!

Hell yeah! Mind if I live vicariously through you for a minute? 🤣 That’s freakin awesome!

Actually I’d probably go for Punk’N as my dream jeep factory color.

But the real truth is that if I was going to go to the effort to paint a jeep I would do a custom color that jeep never sold. Probably some shade of green near British racing green.

Yeah it would be awesome to see a Punk'n 392 as well! Isn't British Racing Green kind of similar to Sarge Green? We also considered a completely custom color, but we love Mojito and thats where everything started for us on our Jeep journey so we thought it was only fitting. Plus we like the fact that it's a factory color that was just never available on a 392.

This is great! I love the Mojito color, but it wasn't an option by the time I was ready to order.

Can't wait to see it put back together
Thank you! It's getting really close, we need it back together by Friday so we can head up to Silver Lake sand dunes!

I've been following you guys on Instagram, and kept waiting for it's return to figure out the color. Great choice! You both have some good content. Cool build!

Nice. Hope to see it on the road, or dirt, some day.

We are hitting the sand dunes this weekend, then once we make sure it can fully flex we plan to get it out to Badlands and test it out asap.

They both have the word Green in their names, but that's where the similarity ends. They're two completely different flavors.
