Non-magnetic Body?

[Muddiver]

So I buy some cool USMC magnets for my brand new Wrangler 4Xe so as not to damage the paint with stickers, and they won’t stick to the body anywhere but the rear quarter panels!?!

Did Jeep build an aluminum or plastic Wrangler body to reduce weight and make up for the battery weight?

You would think they mention that in the specs, manual or sales information.

Sorry, but I guess the 4xe just isn’t as “attractive” as an I.C.E. only Jeep.

It's not just the 4xe, all JLs are like that... aluminum doors and other body panels, magnesium tailgate.

All JL’s have aluminum doors, hoods and tailgate skins.

Except for the 392. It has a steel hood. They had to add weight to the front to keep it from doing wheelies.

Return either the Jeep or the magnets.

Probably saner to return the Jeep

Maybe they're made of wood?

 

[Montanabound]

I think the best option here is to rivet them to the body devil

Ah, but can you not also make Jeeps out of stone?

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

I am Prince James, Liege Man of modestly equipped Wranglers.

Good Sir Ace, will you come with me to Toledo and join us at Assembly Station 7B?

And speaking in italics no less. Obviously a wizard.

Leave it to Jeep to make the entire vehicle out of aluminum, magnesium alloy, and other rust resistant metals EXCEPT for the two parts of the vehicle that will rust the fastest which are the floor pan and rear quarters. Lol. What a bunch of idiots. Would have sure been awesome if they had gone ahead and finished the entire body with aluminum.

I'd pay up for a titanium option.
