Yes still have it. Have about 15k miles on the setup now. Haven’t had any issues but also haven’t taken it off-road. Yes would probably put spacers on if using the stock wheels.
If you’re going with a narrower wheel then they won’t stick out as much. My tires are also 325’s so a little wider. I was looking for a -12 offset but liked these wheels which only came in a 0 or -18.
35’s no lift. Economy has gone down but I would guess maybe 10%. But no hard data being that I only had 500 miles when I switched and now have about 2k.
No rubbing at all w 1500 miles on setup so far but only off-roading has been over a few curbs. Stock Sahara tires are 32”. Definitely don’t need a lift w 33’s. 4xe sits about same height as a regular rubicon which comes w 33’s stock.
I put this one on my new jl. Have not noticed any difference in reception.

if I had a major roof problem, like a blown motor then I would take off the Velcro as well. Easy enough to replace a few dollars worth of Velcro. That being said I don’t think the liner would cause any addition strain on any parts of the system
It is very light weight. Doesn’t seem to sound any different opening or closing. Being an ex service manager at a dealership, if I had a major problem with the roof then I would probably remove it before bringing the Jeep in for service but is quick.
I just installed t
just installed as well. It’s a tad quieter inside but definitely cooler with it sitting in the Florida sun. Heat use to radiate off my bald head even w the ac blasting. Now w the headliner it’s almost cool to the touch after a couple of mins w the ac on.
As far as the roof...
Thanks. Front windows are 15% ceramic tint. Rears are factory. It’s a little light w the roof open. I’m planning on tinting the windshield lightly to block some glare.
900 miles on mine so far w no problems but I use to be a service advisor at a jeep dealer. If you complain to fca customer care they will make your payments for you.
Might install a small spring spacer down the road but it’s actually sitting almost perfectly level. Rear is still a hair higher then the front but don’t think the 4xE has the same rake as other models. Should get pictures of it next to my neighbors diesel Rubicon w 35’s this week to compare...
It fits fine with no modifications but I’m going to be installing the rc relocation bracket to move it up a little because it interferes w the rear parking sensors when backing up.
the torque and drivability is like stock. Mine came stock w 32” tall tires and went up to a 34.7”. I charge it every other night and just filled up for the 2nd time with 800 miles on it. As everyone mentions it’s a plug in hybrid. Not an electric commuter vehicle. I originally choose this model...
Black rhino kelso 18x9 -18 offset w 325/65/18 ridge grapplers. Rides pretty close to stock and these tires are quiet. No rubbing issues so far on the street.
