Did it so I didn't run the engine when remote starting. Figured it would be more efficient to charge on the road and remote start using battery than to have the ICE running for the 15min remote start.
Hey all!
Just completed a major road trip moving to Utah from Oregon, about 750 miles on the freeway. The entire way I pulled Uhaul's largest trailer, a 6'x12' dual axle with surge brakes. Thought I'd give a quick write-up of my experience.
First, the important part: I did this trip with my...
Guess it's good to know I wasn't the only one. Was a bit disappointing to not run the trail in pure electric with how much it has been promoted. For what amount I was able to do the silent offroading really is amazing.
With the engine on it was still an absolute beast. Don't think I scraped the...
35x12.5 Wildpeak AT3W, no lift, stock wheels. No rubbing around town, did see what looks like one small rub spot in the front fender liner washing up after the trails, but I'm comfortable with no lift still. Looks the best imo too.
Took my 4xe Rubicon to run Cedar Tree #13 in Oregon two weeks ago, and had some questions from it.
Put her in 4-Low electric only mode to start the day, and first thing I noticed was it shifted REALLY hard between 1st and 2nd. I'm running 35" tires, but was wondering if anyone else has...
Not to resurrect a dead thread, but, as many I'm sure know, we did see 110+ over multiple days here in the PNW. My 4xe started every time, and even remote started. Got in Monday after work and it said 114 degrees outside. Just a data point for anyone who comes looking for this thread again.
Have a set of Quadratec Ultimate floor liners new in box, front and rear. Ordered for my 4xe and figured out they wouldn't fit. Asking $100, Portland area.
I basically did the same with the Quadratec pedal, but ground down the top section to better fit into the firewall. Couple of washers for spacing, coupling nut, threaded rod, dead pedal, washer, locknut. Works great so far.
I was able to MAKE the Quadratec dead pedal work. I basically ground down the top section so it fit into the firewall area better, then used washers, a coupling nut, and a stud that I cut down to basically extend the stud in the firewall. It isn't pretty, but it works and you can't see it from...
As @Skeethree said, you're definitely misinformed on the 4xe. 17.3ish kwh battery, of which 15 or so is actually used. Thus, cost to charge ranging from $1.50 - $3.00 as I said.
Believe it or not I recognize that electricity isn't free. And, that's why I made the comment that the 4xe value is...
Where are you getting $15-$20 per charge???? Total cost to charge the battery is like $1.50 to $3, depending on your electricity rate. Given that most are seeing about the equivalent of 1 gallon of gas in range per charge, so long as your cost to charge is less than the cost of a gallon of gas...
I can confirm the LOD Armor Lite rock sliders mount up no problem. Got them installed last weekend, including the extra optional self-tapping bolts.
Rock Hard 4x4 Rear LCA bolt-on sliders and Metalcloak's trailer harness slider worked no problem as well.
Another confirmation that the Quadratec...
