Interesting. I wonder what the attachment points on those things looks like? I feel like that's a part I could make myself for like 80 bucks depending on whether the attachment points were specialized couplings or something I can easily cinch on myself. ?
5hp isn't really significant. It's doubtful you'll notice 5hp in your butt dyno, but be wary of that dip at 2,700 RPM. I put the Holley cold air intake on my last JLUR 3.6 that had a similar dip. It was frustratingly noticable. Every damn time.
That is true. 80 horsepower, 140 ft lb of torque from my next tune, you add 5 horsepower here, 10 torque there, next thing you know you're looking at a 500 horsepower, 600 ft lbs torque Wrangler EcoDiesel.
A Hellephant swap starts at about $100k. That's 1,000 horsepower and 950 pound-feet of torque. I'm thinking, however, that it might impact your mileage.That is true. 80 horsepower, 140 ft lb of torque from my next tune, you add 5 horsepower here, 10 torque there, next thing you know you're looking at a 500 horsepower, 600 ft lbs torque Wrangler EcoDiesel.
Probably be a lot easier at that rate to just drop in a V8 and call it a day!
Except, of course, the guy that started this thread...especially if someone mentions the dreaded phrase "4xe".
Can I just say how dumb 4xe sounds? I mean really I know they mean it "Four by E" like "Four by Four" (4x4) but with electric motors but seriously I just looks like "Four X Eee" to my eyes and I can't help to think how dumb it sounds. I would never buy one just for that reason. Also the blue they use for the accenting is awful. The whole "blue for electric" thing needs to die a painful and horrible death anyway.
I gotta be honest, I’m starting to get this vibe when I’m driving around that other Jeepers specifically won’t wave at you if you’ve got blue hooks or a charge door cowl. I literally watched this happen yesterday in traffic. Had a pair of 4xe’s in front of me by 2-3 car lengths (Sahara and a Willys), at least 1 of them tried to wave at the Mojave coming the other direction but the driver straight up cold shouldered them and waved at me.

I wish I had my dash cam installed, it was a legit moment of “did I just see Jeep discrimination happen?”. I’m used to ignoring GC’s, Renegades, Compass, etc because they’re all mostly just regular traffic anyway, but this is the first time I’ve seen Wranglers/Gladiators being selective based on trim.

It just caught me off guard seeing it happen. I will say when I had my 4xe I noticed there were a ton of other 4xe's that didn't wave. I think it's a combination of new owners that simply don't know it's a thing and also a vast majority of 4xe's out here are either rentals or fleet vehicles.What the heck is a hellephant?
If it's any consolation, most people in the area where I live don't jeep wave. At the same time most Wranglers where I live are stock Wranglers. Occasionally you get a guy who's put some effort and money into their Wrangler, they usually will wave. But it's the everyday, owns a Jeep because they think it's cool people who don't wave.Fixed
I never experienced it as a 4xe owner, at least not when I was modified anyway. ?
