Any good recommendations for great powder coater in the greater Seattle area? Looking for a media blast, thorough phosphate bath, e-coat primer, and powder coat finish. Google is great and all, but looking for first hand experiences/recommendations.

Let me preface this by saying I am very much a fan of the 4xe, and I have loved mine for damn near every mile we've driven together. That being said, ever since it started getting colder (<50) the electric performance has become quite degraded. I know range will drop with colder temps, it's...

Not sure if anyone else has seen this or not, but my 4xe is no longer passively generating electricity while coasting or decelerating. I have a local hill that is roughly a mile long 7% grade. Previously when coasting down the hill I would continuously generate at a rate of 5-7 kw, based on...

Most of the air compressor cargo mounts I have seen attach via the hard top bolts. When the top is on this shouldn't be an issue, my question though is what do people do when the top is off? Granted it would be bolted down, but it would also be relatively easy to steal if someone were so...

I'm trying to go light with my 4xe and I am currently looking at adjustable control arms that I can use to dial in my suspension. What are your guys' thoughts on aluminum control arms? I can anodize them, they are lighter than stock, and they won't rust. My only concern would be durability and...

Has anyone noticed a hard, damn near jarring, sensation when the ICE first engages? I was pulling out of a parking lot under battery power and must have given it a little too much of the skinny pedal because the computer decided it needed to engage the ICE. Shortly after entering the road way...

I'm looking to have some parts powder coated and would appreciate any shop recommendations. I'm in the greater Seattle area but don't mind driving a bit for good work. Thanks in advance

From your experience how much should powder coating cost? I got a quote to do rock rails, front and rear bumpers and tire carrier for 1500 which is 50% of the cost of the parts. That seems quite high to me, but I know times are crazy right now. For people in the Seattle/Tacoma area do you...

So today I was driving along and encountered a strange and potentially dangerous behavior with the 4xe braking. A car, several spots in front of me, forgot how to merge onto a freeway on ramp and created a bit of an accordion effect. I had plenty of room in front of me, I saw it coming, and I...

So far the most common comment I can find about them is their lead times. Does anyone have any other feedback as it relates to their fit and finish, build quality, etc? I am looking at getting their front bumper, rock rails, and rear bumper w/ tire carrier. I'm doing the powder coat locally...

I drove straight from the dealership to the tire shop. They have less than 50 miles on the tread. I did swap out the tpms sensors though. Tires alone are 1250 at Discount Tire / Tirerack + WA sales tax. PM if interested (Seattle Area)

I have had my 4xe for a little over a week now and the state of charge lights no longer come on when I plug it in after driving. Has anyone else encountered this? I am wondering if I someone disabled a setting or something. The vehicle charges like normal and the light still blinks next to...

I recall seeing/reading that given the differences with the 4xe the current crop of tuners/flashcals/etc are not compatible with the 4xe. Is there anything on the market that has been proven to be compatible with the 4xe and successful at recalibrating the tire sizes? At the moment I am not...

I am doing some research for a new roof rack. I like the functionality of having a full length rack but I want the flexibility of a half rack, especially with regards to the freedom panels. I don't want to drill through my hard top and with the 4xe my options are basically limited to a gutter...

Simple enough, who is having them, what are they offering, and what are you most looking forward to buying?

What are the thoughts on adding a cai to the 4xe? Generally speaking I don't put a ton of stock in intakes, but I do think they make more sense with turbos. What I'm not sure about is how it would pair with the hybrid, and if the normal 2.0t intakes would bolt in.

If anyone has a take off front driveshaft for a 12-18' jk, or has a line on one, I would be happy to take it off your hands. I'm trading in my JK for a JL and just noticed my front CV joint is spitting grease. Thanks in advance!

My goal this go around is to go low and light, I would like to stick to a 33 or 34" tire and maximize off road articulation with on road DD performance. Can someone share any pictures with this type of setup? I am hoping that it isn't to ridiculous looking. Cheers!

Given the added weight of the 4xe which tire will ride better? I'm looking at swapping out the stock tires with 315/70R17's and the K02 comes in either rating.

I'm in the process of shopping around for a 4xe and one of the use cases I have, that I havent yet seen reports on, is traversing mountain passes. Obviously this is not going to be an area where Electric mode makes any sense, but what I'm interested in finding out is how the hybrid system works...
