  1. Mechanic's comprehensive tech review of Jeep Wrangler 4XE

    I’ve had my 2022 4XE for a year and a half and so far it has been flawless. I haven’t had any weird issues and it’s only been to the dealer once for an oil change so I consider myself lucky. Honestly, the car has grown on me as I didn’t think I would keep it initially. I’ve been getting a ton...
  2. Mechanic's comprehensive tech review of Jeep Wrangler 4XE

    So absolutely true. Jeep dealers are the absolute worst I’ve ever experienced in terms of service from any car brand. The quality of techs is very poor- that's the only explanation I can think of. This is from personal experience on a non-4xe Wrangler. I can’t imagine having to rely on them to...
  3. JL 2.0L Turbo ECU Tune Development by Eurocompulsion

    Could this type of tune be used to change the startup behavior of the gas engine on the 4Xe? For example, when cold it revs high for about 30 seconds before settling down. But even when at operating temp, when you turn off the car and turn it back on (engine still hot) the engine still revs...
  4. best product for tire bloom/browning

    Chemical guys tire and rubber cleaner works well and is safe for rims. You’ll need a stiff brush to really clean neglected tires otherwise the dressing won’t stick. I use Griots Satin Tire spray. Does not leave that wet tacky look, but makes the tires look deep black and new.
  5. Question for new 4XE owners, is this normal?

    Old thread but I’ve owned a 4Xe for about 3 months now and I’m amazed at all the weird, annoying, and obnoxious noises this thing makes. I’m trying to like the car as drive it more but Jeep made it real difficult. “Working as designed” should not be an excuse for shitty engineering.
  6. Install XR fender flares

    I’ve got the stock Sahara side steps so I guess they help a good bit.
  7. Install XR fender flares

    I thought about the mopar mud flaps too but yeah not a huge fan of mud flaps either.
  8. Install XR fender flares

    Doesn’t look bad. That looks like the 2” version?
  9. Install XR fender flares

    hey thanks a lot for your response. I’m debating between these and the EZflares. I like that the EZflares run the whole length of the fender, looks better I think. But not sure if the material is cheap looking. Might try them out for $50. I need something because these rocks and puddles are...
  10. Install XR fender flares

    Hi, did you end up installing these? How do they look? Any pics?
  11. Fender extensions

    Hey, did you ever finish installing these extensions on the rear? How did it come out? I'm looking to do the exact same thing as I have a bit too much poke and it's kicking up a lot of rocks. Thx.
  12. My 1 week review of owning a 2023 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe

    I’ve had mine just a couple of weeks and the steering is actually better than my JKU. Less squirrely. The thing I hate the most so far is all the noises the 4Xe makes in electric mode. The electric power steering pump is loud especially in parking garages where everything echoes. The heater/AC...
  13. JL 2.0L Turbo ECU Tune Development by Eurocompulsion

    It would be great if we could unlock more power in electric mode even if at the expense of a bit less range, but not a huge deal if not. I’m really looking for better responsiveness of the 2.0 ICE. If we weren’t so far apart I’d be willing to help out, but I’m in Atlanta. Still, if there is a...
  14. JL 2.0L Turbo ECU Tune Development by Eurocompulsion

    @EUROCOMPULSION Is it worth waiting for the new tune solution you discuss above, or better to get the current ecm tune? If we’re talking by summer, I can wait, but longer than that I’d rather not. Also, in the 4Xe, does the tune impact the Electric only mode performance? And are you able to...
  15. Totaled 4xe?

    That is only good advice IF the savings account rate exceeds the interest rate on the loan. Otherwise, that doesn't make sound financial sense.
  16. FORM

    Were you having an issue where you 4XE stayed in FORM mode for an extended period of time? Did this update resolve the issue? I’ve seen people complaining about this issue a lot, so I’m wondering if jeep acknowledged that there was something wrong in their software that caused the cars to stay...
  17. For folks frustrated with the FORM issues

    Do Prius owners also get locked out of using the electric mode of their PHEV for months at a time? Serious question.
  18. For folks frustrated with the FORM issues

    I was decided on a 4XE and went to test drive one at a dealership today. Two of the ones I test drove were in “Form” mode. The sales guy found one that wasn’t and I got to test drive it in electric mode, but this left a serious doubt in my mind, which led me to research this issue. I live in GA...
  19. Do you use the Remote Start on the 4Xe?

    I figured as much. Pretty much how every tax credit works. Oh well. Yeah, definitely looking to buy before March 1 when the rules start changing.
  20. Do you use the Remote Start on the 4Xe?

    All great points. Thank you! If anyone can comment, did you have to wait until the following year to claim the ev tax credit? I’m wondering if I buy before I file taxes this year can I claim it on this year’s return. Might just be wishful thinking I’m sure.
