Any 4xe crawlers?

Well, generally welding cast steel to mild steel is something I avoid if possible. It has a tendency to crack easily.

I would not recommend redoing the work. Leave it alone and keep an eye out for cracks.

It will crack at or around the base metal. I am not concerned about the diff housing as much as the FAD housing.

Again, I am no pro at welding. I am a hobbyist at best, after years of projects you now have the extent of my knowledge / experience welding cast.

Man all these pictures of off-roading, and you all have your doors on!!

You haven’t lived until you try electric doors off off-roading!

Thank you, and the more I know for next time. And thank you for the advice and I will keep a clos

Southeast here except my trip to the rubicon, and I didn’t know where to put my doors/top when I was 2,700 miles from home. Wheeling doorless is not exactly a good idea where I live. I have gotten mud inside my jeep twice from having the top down once and the windows down another.

Yeah where I live it's more of a candy crush issue.

I still have my Sahara 4xe totally stock. But it has done George Washington forest trails (beginner-intermediate) a couple of times, and it handled a bunch of driving in the 4x4 sand/beach of Carova Beach, NC (will be back there in a month). Love saving the battery until the trail, and love the electric only capability (just wish it lasted longer, only lasts about 15 miles in the sand!)

Building to crawl, the 4.50 limit on gear ratio is currently a bummer.

Pleasantly surprised to see bone stock Sahara 4xe’s getting after it.

Hopefully the software update will be soon. Ordered my gears today.

truly amazed what the Sahara 4XE can do stock. Only upgrade was the 33’s and Apex AutoLYNX disconnects

I wish I could tell you the gear issue would be resolved soon... the hard limit was set for a reason. I'm serious debating getting my tons with 4.11's and regear to 5.13 if the limit change becomes a reality.

How is the hydro assist working for you? Do you see a big difference in the rocks?

Has anyone tried HPtuners to change gear ratio? It has more adjustability than both tazer and JScan.

Many have tried...

The limit was set by the engineers. Sure you can use a tuner to change the ratio. When you do it will kill ESC, ABS, TC and max regen.

No one that I know has tried hptuners, unless you know of someone that has. But it won’t work for everyone, it only works on the early production 2021 models. And you have to mail in your tcm to have it unlocked to change transmission data. You can’t remap your fuel/timing maps or transmission shift points with JScan or tazer. But you can with hptuners. It’s seriously powerful software.

Haven't had a chance to test it out yet in the rocks. We just "finished" her Jeep when I posted those pics, and with my son having a fairly major surgery next week it may be a while before we can take her out. I think once it cools down a bit (hit 107 yesterday) and he is recovered we would like to take it and my JT out to have some fun.
