Ah yeah making a box would be nice to level out the rear for an air mattress or even transporting something flat like a tv. Plus it would give you some storage space under it for the quarter panels or maybe the freedom top for those with the standard hardtop.
So that lip only covers the mounting points for the rear seats then huh. Probably helps provide a small shield for the battery toonot a great pic this is with my slipstream installed right where that lip is. Again it lifts right out just cut the mat at the lip or a inch beyond. Personally I carry a Harbor Freight Packing blanket at all times, I do not need a matt tat is far more versitile for me.
So I did a classic geezer move the other day. It was dark and I had trouble shutting the shop door (it's manual and on a track and difficult to line-up with the latch) after I unplugged the power end from the receptacle. I needed both hands to close that door so I chunked the Level 1 charger in the back of the Jeep first. When I got to the house (less than a mile away) I went to plug the Jeep in (never thought I'd utter those words) and noticed that I had left the charging door open and the rubber cap out. I've never ever done that with a gas cap, but did it with the charging cap less than a week into ownership.
Those door lock covers are great.
Noob question...what’s the purpose of the door lock covers? Seems like a pointless piece but I’m sure I’m just completely missing the point
Mostly just aesthetic.
Yes on the 4xe all have the Sub, however at some point the Alpine with sub will likely become and option and not part of the 4xe Package, Speculation only thoughHere is a photo of the rear compartment area. That partition behind the seats measure about 6" high. Much higher than I realized. Do all the PHEV Wranglers come with that sub-woofer speaker enclosure? I am going to design and build a storage box 6" high so when the seats are folded then I will have a big flat surface for sleeping bags, cargo etc.
If some of the 4xes don't have that speaker then I can make two designs and share the drawings here. My basic plan is to get some 1/8" aluminum and break form it into a large upside down tray. it will need some structural bracing or angle shapes for strength. Then I will cover it with some low pile carpet or felt to match the cargo area. Hopefully my side panel bag will stow in that space.
Let the modding begin!
Yep, part of the Alpine audio which is standard on all 3 4xe trims.Here is a photo of the rear compartment area. That partition behind the seats measure about 6" high. Much higher than I realized.

Awsome, thanks! I wanted to get the wife a few little goodies for her 4xe for Mom's day, this was perfect (the black version has a 5% coupon right now too).
I use airlift HD air bags in the rear from a ram 1500 and it works great.Based on this image below on the layout of the extra payload, I'm thinking it's the rear that will need the extra spring rate/lift - the front is probably going to sit around the same as the 2.0L with eTorque, that large electric motor and that battery pack that are in the rear will be where most of the extra weight is at.
