Living in eastern PA brings the cold of winter, not too severe but with occasional cold snaps to bring the extra chill. As soon as the weather started moving colder the range on the 4xe definitely decreases. This happens for a few reasons and is expected. Battery efficiency does decrease when the battery is cold …
We’ve been documenting our fuel experience with the 4xe and this particular tank is a favorite so far. We managed to drive almost 1028 miles on 14 gallons of gas. Looking at the breakdown you can see that we drove 796.9 miles on electric and 231 on gas. This tank lasted 38 days! Doing some …
If you have a 4 door Wrangler that has a hard top you probably know the process to remove the top. It’s not really heavy but it’s super clumsy and too expensive to drop – and it’s a more than one person job. The Lange Originals Hoist-a-Cart makes this a one person job and does …
When adding larger tires to your Jeep you can quickly find yourself in a situation where the spare tire doesn’t fit and hits the bumper. The 315/70R17 BFG KO2 tires we installed on the jeepfan.com Wrangler Rubicon 4xe wasn’t an exception to this reality. Now, the tire did fit and would need some forcing to …
2nd fill up on the 4xe. 10.5 gallons of gas. 921 total miles and 23 days since the last fill up. Approx $37 worth of electric, $41.89 in gas. It was only filled up due to a long trip coming up.

The jeepfan.com 2022 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4xe sits about 1″ higher than a non 4xe or XR Rubicon so when we added the new set of the 315/70R17 BFGoodrich KO2 tires it looked real good but in the end we thought it needed just a little more. Since our approach with this Jeep is more …
The 33″ BF Goodrich All Terrain tires that come with a Rubicon are real nice but they are conservative and just feel small and skinny. We’ve decided to not go big or aggressive with the 4xe and the 35″ size of the same tire is large enough and wider to give the Jeep a proper …
The Wrangler 4xe was introduced in 2021 and is really an interesting Jeep to say the least. A combined (engine plus electric) 375HP and 470 Torque make this Jeep the 2nd most powerful Jeep ever produced..the first being the amazing 392. Interesting though, the 4xe shares the SAME torque rating as the 392 thanks to …
Our new Wrangler 4xe has factory wheels but those wheels are just as prone to being stolen as aftermarket, perhaps even more so since demand for factory wheels is somewhat higher. A simple solution to reduce the chances of your wheels walking off is adding a set of wheel locks. We’ve covered this before on …
