They def should. Got mine here…just waiting on my 4XE soon to find out!
These definitely work on the 4xe.

Back to op: the bar mount looks great! What did you use to cut it, grinder? Did you sand and paint the edges? Any problems since you’ve had it on?

IMPOSSIBLE, WInd resistance equals wind noise just like the box shape of the Wrangler has more wind noise that a sports car. There are countless post and threads about windo and roof munted bars and noise issue/complaints. Maybe there is no oxegen/air where you drive...

jeep is already pushing wind, adding stuff doesnt always add more noise, they just fit in the airflow. Had a roof light once that whistled like crazy, move it down a half inch and no more noise .

Yes if you move it down below the lip of the windshied that helps but does not eliminate, which is why now some bars are being designed to be inside the cabin at the top of the windshield for this very reason. But that also will cost you visibility.

i bought the KC 4xe mount and combined it with RC single row bar.. I wanted something more sleek). Initial problem is that KC mounts are wider than 50" and RC bar is lightly shorter than 50".. so i had some aluminum spacers made which are now powder-coated wrinkle black. Main issue here is the noise. Both wind and whistle noises were out of this world at fwy speeds..(70+) (typical cruising speed here is between 70-85)

I expected both noises but not at these levels.. so i took it off and going to make some adjustments to back cooling fins.. read bunch of posts from JK guys doing everything from vinyl wrap to door moulding trim.. as others pointed out there is no way its going to be as quiet as stock,; impossible with such flat object.. but as long as i can eliminate whistle i'll keep it :) Love the look and light output is insane.. I'll update once if i'm able to solve this issue

Whistle is gone entirely but wind noise is still present as expected.. (regardless of slight forward tilt) it’s quite loud with headwind while ok in other situations.

My tint guy did the satin vinyl wrap on the bar and that did the trick to take care of the whistle..

That is a lot of added wind-noise. I had windshield top 50" bar on my JL before I switched to my 4xe the wind noise can kinda ruin the silent running of the electric vehicle.

Had the top windhsield munted bar on my JL, on my 4xe I switched to the hood mounted 40", which is now in a wind deadzone since the front of the wrangler blocks the light bar from direct air flow. I also decided since lights have little practicle function it was not worth the wind noise for the top windshield mounted bars.
