    Great looking TJ... and I don't think you can go wrong with Gecko! It's crazy to think they get the same mileage towing when the '21 weighs 5200 lbs and the '06 was around 3750. Unreal how heavy modern cars have become... I had a 98 Cherokee, 2 dr, 4.0L / 5spd canadian spec. It was light and...

    All fair points - like I said before, on longer trips theoretically the 2.0L should get better mileage since it's not also hauling around the weight of the electric components - the hybrid shines on shorter trips of ~25 miles, which if you live in the suburbs probably covers at a large...

    After driving the hybrid wrangler for 1100 miles, going back to the gas-only powered cherokee feels like driving a dinosaur. It's slow and the gas engine runs all the time so it's louder. The ones who don't migrate to the new tech are missing out on some fun performance benefits. Edit - the...

    Would love to know what industry you're in and how you went about remotely job hunting.

    Update - took our first roadtrip towing our small trailer. 255 miles round trip - we started with a full charge and recharged at our destination before coming home. Got 35 miles electric, the balance on gas, and averaged 14.4 MPG per the trip computer. Mainly highway with a nice chunk of 2...

    Jeep Gladiator Build Thread - 18 months around Australia with The Road Chose Me

    Thanks for this video Dan - I always thought about extending the breathers but I never have. I'm sure it wasn't easy getting some of those shots especially of the transfer case breather, I definitely learned a few things!

    I'll try the average MPG thing but so far from what I can tell it's impossible to tell an apples-to-apples comparison with a gas version. It's entirely dependent on your use-case, how often you charge, etc. Physics tells us that after depleting the battery, it should get worse MPG than a...

    What island? Sounds like a bicycle is the answer! First few commuting trips we're seeing 25+ miles on electric only, nearly all backroads. Jeep is estimating 26 miles all electric range when fully charged. It was a nice day out so no HVAC draw.

    I did check the fuses/relays at the dealer before we left, all were fine. Yea our electricity in Massachusetts is also crazy expensive - 23 c/kwhr last time I checked and that's with a discounted aggregate rate that saves us 2-3c/kwhr from the regular rates. The 4xE has a 17 kwh battery...

    Test drove a 4xe Rubicon briefly today. Overall impression - it's very cool. It had a decent charge on it, and in hybrid mode around town it only used the electric motor unless you really laid into the pedal, then it would start the gas engine. The transition was smooth, it felt pretty well...

    Sad End to This Cautionary Tale, As Folks Start to Head Back Out Into the Wilds, Pls Be Careful

    I keep seeing the death valley germans story being used as a comparison/"reason not to stay with the car". The Germans drove a minivan 2.4 miles down an abandoned road in Anvil Canyon and then another 200 feet down a wash. There was no chance a passing tourist would find them, they were buried...

    We're seriously considering a 4xE. The Rubicon, with cold weather package, tow group, and possibly the safety packages. The fuel economy boost plus top down doors off quiet exploring is nice. Plus, we make the electricity for it up on our roof. We'll miss the growl our current JLUR has with...

    Newfoundland 2016 - Just the tip...of the iceberg

    Totally agree, we would need a month or two to really scratch the surface. We can't wait to return post-covid, our trip left a lot on the table! Good luck with the business, sounds like a great endeavor!
