Yours looks a little odd. Are you missing those black rubber/plastic pieces on the top or is it covered by the towels? I ended up getting these - and put them between the TopLift and my top - I have the HotHead liner on there and didn't want to create a spot. It is a bit wobbly when you...

The HV battery won't be a problem and it will periodically come on and keep the 12V charged, but honestly, I would do like Reinen said and pull the 12V, keep that in your apartment on a trickle charger and when you get back then reinstall it.

I am wondering if one were too use the Genesis system and have the aux cables connected to the "spare battery", more like when you connect lights or a winch to the accessory battery, would that still give you the benefit of using the ESS (I use that term lightly), but eliminating the smaller...

Mine has been loud in one moment and then super quiet in another. There are times when the engine comes on and I didn't even notice it until I looked at the dash and saw the RPM's up. There are other times when it sounds like a jet engine. I had read somewhere else that the engine will rev...

Just curious about upgrading the shocks. Is it something you want to do, or you feel you need to do? Reason I ask, is I too am looking at doing the AEV spacer lift. I ran spacers on my TJ for years before I got a 3.5 inch lift and am looking to do something similar on my 4xe. I noticed...

I thought it was a pretty fair review. Better than the Consumer reports nonsense. I mean Wranglers aren't unlike loud-ass Harley's. I mean there are certain trade-offs when you buy and drive a vehicle with an identity, character, and heritage. Does anyone buy a Porsche for their awesome...

I don't think we give enough thought to the fuel efficiency standards and how that can affect performance. My '97 TJ auto has 3 gears, not including reverse, THREE! When our second kid was born we got a Honda Odyssey, I think it had 6 gears at the time which thought was crazy. It drove like...

Just noticed the age and mileage of the vehicle. Are you the original owner or is this new-to-you? Either way, I would keep at it with the dealer for sure. Although you are out of the normal warranty period, you should still covered on the electric side of things. Ask Jeep Cares to open a...

I am not going to read 11 pages of comments as they all tend to be the same flavor. With the exception of one or two folks that got legit lemons, which happens all the time, with all kinds of vehicles, the haterade is from people who have never owned one, never driven one and are afraid of the...

I am not sure if I would have felt worse about my 4xE if she had negative things to say. As we have said 1000 times on this forum, the 4XE fits a particular use case. If your needs fit the use case, then it is a great option for you. I think the fact that the 4XE is still very much a Jeep...

Thanks for this reply. I have been looking at doing a 2" spacer lift as well and reading/watching the instructions seems like an awful lot of work. Someone on another thread commented that the amount of work is the same whether you put in 2" spacers or just to a 2.5" lift and I was trying to...

I have learned ALOT on this forum, but not from using search....

My trickle charger didn't do much more than "tickle-charge", when my 12V was low. I ended up getting that Noco 10AMP and that works so much better. I guess the trickle is finding if you are going to leave the vehicle sitting somewhere for a while, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't do...

Good point. I should have added that I do have a winch, lights and a Dometic in the back, although not all at once, etc. I have a post on here about all that, and I do admit it is a bit overkill for most people. A good AGM battery, like the Duracell one from Sam's, would be perfectly fine...

I had a battery issue on my 4XE. 12V battery was drained, but unless you put a legit battery charger on it (at least 10 amps), the Jeep won't charge it enough on its own. And although the HV battery is supposed to provide a charge, in my case, it wasn't enough to do anything. Long are the...

How close is the key fob? I wonder if it is detecting it. Mine will come on when I touch the handle with the fob in my pocket. If not, and its far enough away, the lights come on when I open the door and then go off after a few minutes once I close it. In order to check the state of charge...

My '23 sub sounds good, for what it is. No problems. I have a hard top and got a hot headliner installed and it really helped with the overall sound system as well as being able to have conversations. As far as it not starting, I'm glad you checked those fuses. With it being so brand new, I...

I still have my '97 TJ Sport, it is now my son's daily driver. While they are (technically) easy to work on, I would say getting parts is a different challenge, especially MOPAR parts. Many an hour has been spent looking them up online at all the usual places. One thing that might not be...

Thanks for confirming that - I was eager to use my acetone or goo-gone, but was thinking if it is good enough to take off paint, then uh, it is good enough to take off paint. I wish I had seen it when they did it, and just wiped it off then. It is 16 F right now, so I think I will need to let...

Long story short, I had my ceilings repainted. At the time, my hard top was off the Jeep and on my Toplift. I didn't notice that the painters got some white paint on my black hard top until we put the hard top back on. This all happened months ago, so I can't just wipe it off. I searched the...
