Well in Corolla, NC where I do the beach driving it's easy. The town has about 6-8 air pumps right as you get out of the beach area (right in the lighthouse parking lot) specifically for 4x4ers to air back up!
As a motorcycle ride for 35+ years I will say they are both totally different, yet very much the same. Really to me the actually emotions are very different (even if riding with a group a motorcycle to me is a very solitary experience, kind of at one with the bike and the world, very zen, while...
No, I do not use any cage. She is fine even if both seats are up (still enough room) though usually I put both seats down to give her more room, though she usually stays in the back area.
Man I WANT that Purple! Well stuck with Snazzelberry, but considering my 4xe cost almost 10k more now then it cost me when I bought it pre-production, I'll live with the Red.
I am 56 years old. I would have died at 17 if it were not for a seat belt (as it is the head on collision was so violent I broke my nose on the steering wheel even with a 3 point seat belt - pre-airbags). I do not move any car I am driving without every passenger strapped in.
I still have my Sahara 4xe totally stock. But it has done George Washington forest trails (beginner-intermediate) a couple of times, and it handled a bunch of driving in the 4x4 sand/beach of Carova Beach, NC (will be back there in a month). Love saving the battery until the trail, and love the...
Another thing that pisses me off. When I bought my Jeep 4xe I put down more then half, and financed the rest (as I got $1000 off using their financing, paid it off in 6 months so my interest was only a couple hundred dollars). So I had no chance of my car being underwater in value, ever. But...
While this sucks for the poster who has a lemon of a car, my question is how many 4xe's are having problems like this vs. ANY other car/SUV sold today? I mean a certain small amount of Honda Accord's have some odd lemon issue, and I am not seeing anything here or in the news about the 4xe having...
I'm going to probably get some 33's when I need to replace these. But for me the most intense 4x4ing I do is what is in the video, most my off-roading is in the sand at Corolla, and these work fine for that, so I can't justify the expense. And the stock tires are really nice on the road. I just...
Yes, always air down. Corolla is nice that they have a free air up/down place with plenty of hoses right before the 4x4 area, so you don't need your own compressor.
Did you go back into the developments/town area (away from the beach)? There are FAR less people there, and more fun, see more wild horses etc.... More fun 4x4ing (mud, trails in the woods etc...)
The other Jeep in my picture was a 6 speed. She had no issues (was her first time in the sand).
