I'm loving mine! I don't drive much so only about 350 miles but with my driving pattern I should get 550 or so per tank ⛽ It's a little quirky but can't wait to see how it does off-road.
Two things I said I'd never do. 1.) Buy a Jeep 2.) Buy a new vehicle Bought the Sahara 4xe Saturday! One of the best hybrids out there because they decided to just take the vehicle and add electric to it and not just turn the Jeep into an egg like other hybrid or electrics. As for #2 my new car depreciation was mitigated with the $7,500 tax credit. BTW, I LOVE IT!!!
1. Same. 2. Same. Still ordered one. Between the tax credit and the stellar resale value of Wranglers in general, I talked myself into buying one pretty easily. My Honda Odyssey will be thrilled to not have to go off road anymore. :)
Awesome build! Is it required to change the driveshaft when you install aftermarket shocks and lift kit on the Wrangler 4xe? And you used a custom driveshaft, is there any aftermarket driveshaft that is plug and play to use with this hybrid jeep?
The reason the fuel door is locked is because there’s pressure built up in the gas tank if the jeep was not fueled in a while (daily commute using only electric, no long trips). You will also notice that when you open the fuel door from the inside, it takes few seconds to actually open so it can despresurizar if that’s the case.
This guy get a raise yet? He is the face for Epic and does a great job. And nope I don't know him. I'm in Michigan, but maybe someday I'll be lucky to have an Epic Jeep up fitted by this "ginger" guy.
😆 33s are on my Tacoma. Was going to do 35s (takes some work but they fit) not practical for my application... unlike jeep guys I see mall crawling by me on their 35s/ 37s while never engaging 4wd or knowing how.
First of all, what a cool and unique video! But what an amazing powertrain for people like me who live at high elevation. That electric motor plus a turbo will really help out up here
Those wheels are badass! Speaking of... Work smarter, not harder, lift the jeep just off the ground before you take the wheels off and bring it back down low to put them back on so you don't have to drop or lift them so high.
Yeah, the wheels turned out awesome. As for your "work smarter, not harder" comment - we have to work out our Ginger daily to keep him in top physical and mental condition. We're building muscle over here.
For the fuel door this is done on pretty much every hybrid vehicle, because you may go an extended time between putting gas in plug in hybrids there can be excessive pressure in the tank. By making you press the button it tells the system to vent before you open it. In some cases is will open almost instantly and others it can take up to a couple seconds before it will open.
So technically speaking, the high voltage battery is connected to the DC to DC converter that provides 12 volts to the low voltage side. All the power flow comes from the high voltage battery. So from that perspective, if you connect to the 12 volt system, it is feeding off the high voltage battery. That's going to be the best way to go about it. If anyone connects to the 400 volt battery, that voltage is going to have to be converted anyway. So might as well use the equipment that's already in place. There's nothing designed to handle 400 volts DC. It wold hammer the warranty anyway.
Hello Mr C1ph3r. We would buy a 4XE as a hybrid commuter vehicle that can go off-road on the weekends. It's a blast to drive. Due to the extra battery weight and the limited electric range, we would hesitate to recommend this platform for an overlander that wants to load up the vehicle with lots of gear, roof top tent, etc and head out for days into the backcountry. All depends on what you want to do with it. The EcoDiesel platform is simply insane and delivers crazy torque 100% of the time, as long as your fuel tank is full ;-)
@@EPIC-4WD totally agree with statement of the 4xe vs Diesel for overlanding (and I’m a 4xe owner) until they update the 4xe in a few ways (either with some factory updates or options), but I do want to point out that the 470 lb of torque is virtually there the whole time (you seemed to imply that it is no longer available after the battery is depleted). The 4xe keeps 15% battery in reserve for a couple of reasons and one of those is so it can give that torque boost when needed(that 15% is also the easiest to charge back). It replenishes that 15% from the engine and from regenerative braking. Sure if you were pull 470 lb constantly you probably can deplete that before it can replenish, but that doesn’t happen in the vast majority of cases. A good test would be to wheel it straight up an obstacle strewn mountain with the battery already “depleted” and see how it handles it, something you are in a good position to test 🙂, and would be a great video as well. Also, great build.
@@EPIC-4WD yeah... it did I'm a Tacoma owner with 33s.... but own a Rubicon too. Love your videos 📹 and work you do. Oh and I rather have 33s and put them to use than 90% of the posers I see on 35/37s that don't even know how to engage their 4WD.
@@EPIC-4WD my JT was lifted with 37s. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the JT. We had a lot of fun in it. But my heart is still with a wrangler. Cheers! Keep up the good vids
Hello Mr Kunst. You are welcome to call us anytime for a discussion or advice. We get calls from all over North America. We don't mind pointing you in the right direction for your Jeep build ;-)
These videos have been extremely helpful for a complete beginner like me to understand how to do my jeep build correctly. Can someone rate my setup? I've got a 2021 Wrangler unlimited 4xE Sahara (thankfully the 4xe has the D44 as standard so I don't have to worry about axles).

What a waste of money buying the 4XE. I know three people that have them and never use the battery. They say they get 20 miles in a full charge and they told me that 14 to 16 maybe. And you pay $8,000 more dollars for that.SMH

Always love your videos, but had to go back to this one with a new 4xe order made. Watching it gave me 2 questions; 1. I previously put in a TerraLex High Angle CV kit on my JK to make up for the clearance on my front DS. Is this something you guys researched for the 4xe vs a new DS? 2. I'm a little confused about the lift height, in the description you have it listed as a 2.5" lift, yet the Terraflex spacers seemed to be 3", then on a comment below you mention that you can't lift it higher then 2" due to E-brake set up. I'll probably be getting in contact with you guys next year about a lift quote.
What’s size are those tires? Will that life kit fits 37””. I just pick one up. And where can I get the front drive shaft? Thanks. Any other recommendations for a lift kit?
Will this work on the high Altitude? If not what will? Seems that the extra weight in the 4xe is problematic. Still waiting on the release of the Mopar lift which should address these issues. Any suggestions for us 4xe owners who want to use a non Mopar lift? Also can I fly you to Texas to go pimp out my jeep?!
First - yes, the 4XE is heavier. Second - friends don't let friends install a Mopar lift in their Jeep. Get a good lift instead and you'll be waaaay happier. Thirdly - You certainly can fly us out to Texas, it's been 8 years since I've visited your beautiful state.
Thanks for all the info! My 4xe is being built this week and I've been scouring the web for any info I can find on lifts. This is the first place I've seen the front drive shaft issue. How long did it take to sell?
Love the build but one thing I have to point out, stop killing your back!!!! The best way to lift a wheel/tire is to roll it up your leg to your chest then onto the car! Trust me years and years of being a mechanic and doing tires on the daily this will save your back!!! Other then that awesome job guys
My guess is more of these will be on the side of the road than on the road. I need an EOA in South Carolina when im able to drop the hammer on an eco diesel gladiator....but then ive always wanted to visit B.C.
I think the point of this sort of thing would be to charge at home if you are going to charge at all. Don't see the real point of going somewhere and waiting for a charge when the thing can run in gas mode and hybrid mode. It really only makes sense if you regularly plug it in at your home and then can drive part of the day on electric only if that is your thing....
What difference in electric range and overall fuel economy have you seen? Looking at one of these but don't want it to become useless after adding all the offroad goodies.
The trick is to keep the rolling mass as close to stock as possible. Thus why we went with 35s ;-) Our clients with the 4XE and 35s are reporting nothing really noticeable, driving around town, no issues with highway driving fuel economy, however one would assume that there is some effect, albeit small. We have a 4XE on order for our shop, so we'll have more hands-on updates coming in the next few months. Cheers!
Mine is always in FORM so I feel I got ripped off because electric is not available for weeks now. It's also telling me I need an oil change after only a month ago that I changed the oil.
Love the vids!! As a 4xe owner, glad you made this video... I upgraded just about everything to get mine ready for the trails, but I always end up taking my JK instead. For some reason, the 4xe's new shoe feeling is lasting much longer than I thought...
Can you add 37s on a sahara with this lift? Or will i have to figure out a 3.5inch lift some how to make it work. I know the rubi has the high fenders but i seen people using a 2inch lift with 37s on the rubi so 2.5 thats almost adding the high fenders hieght right for a sahara model?
You'll need flat fenders to do 37s on a Sahara with this lift. At the moment, there is no way to lift the vehicle more than 2" because of the unique 4XE e-brake setup (it exits the vehicle farther back, and is already at a harsh angle).
The 4XE is a heavy Jeep. Adding more weight for gear and people will require a proper suspension setup. Feel free to give us a call to discuss 604-888-2961.
How is the consumption with The bigger tires and lift? Mileage in only electric mode and consumption. I think that stock has a correct / acceptable autonomy, but with lift and biggest Tires it’s canceled
While we only had the Jeep in the modified form for a few days with the easy-rolling 35" EXO Grapplers, we didn't notice any significant change in the electric range.
What did you have to do with the sound vending (Exhaust lol) to keep it on there - i tried to have my dealer put that tire carrier on and they said they couldn’t get get in on cause of that thing...wish you were in the US!
Just picked that exact jeep up a few nights ago for the wife. She is ready to lift.. Do you have a link to the specs on the custom drive shaft by chance?
Nope sorry. We just had it made up by a local drive shaft shop. Any drive shaft place can measure up the lengths required. It's just a custom-length 1310 Double Cardan with a new yolk at the t-case.
Bill... you are exactly right. Our sincere apologies that we did not "do it right". We have reviewed this oversight with our production team and promptly fired them all. Thank you and have a good night.
Any driveshaft shop should be able to measure and make you up a 1310 shaft. We found that the Rubicon and Sahara 4XE front shafts are actually different lengths ;-) We just have them custom made at a local driveline shop to our specs.
I want to know what the Electrical range dropped to with the bigger and heavier wheels and other components that you installed, as you said about 25 miles before the upgrades??
Hey CJ - we only had the Jeep in the modified state for a few days, but we'd say the larger tires/lift didn't do anything recognizable to the range. I'm sure it probably lost a mile or two in the all-electric range category ;-)
@@Elprez69 OUCH!!😤😤😤 THEY Tried switching us to Liters back in the late '70's early '80's ,in California, but they were Charging the same price per gallon of gas per liter,When people found out that they were paying twice as much for a gallon of gas, I'll Put it this Way, THAT SHIT WAS STOPPED QUIK AND WE WENT BACK TO OUR OLD SYSTEM!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

"Snowflake requirement" no sh-t....see a snowflake drive into the ditch. Oh wait. That's Seattle.
Beautiful machine!
That blue trim on the wheels really drives it home. OIIIIIIIO
Oh it does! Wheel paint worked out awesome.
That silence on the trail is going to be awesome
It's totally weird. When you disconnect the outside speakers, it's even more crazy ;-)
Awesome build! Is it required to change the driveshaft when you install aftermarket shocks and lift kit on the Wrangler 4xe? And you used a custom driveshaft, is there any aftermarket driveshaft that is plug and play to use with this hybrid jeep?
Lmao 😂 over the rear speaker comment. Nicely done… Subscribing and buying a 4xe!
Thanks man!
I noticed non of these JL lift kits include proper driveshafts for the lifts and you have to source a third party company to get driveshafts made.
You got it!

While we only had the Jeep in the modified form for a few days with the easy-rolling 35" EXO Grapplers, we didn't notice any significant change in the electric range.
Congrats! The Blue Trim looks great on the White Jeep!
How much did your upgrades add to the cost?
The ginger is recharged 🤣🤣
mostly using the battery. then using the engine.
I just got mine 2 days ago. And i am loving it so far.
Awesome! Congrats! It's a fun Jeep!
I want one!
😂 the starbucks part lol
Got a Jeep. Wheel on 33's just fine.
Pretty freakin awesome.. I like it!
Thank you! Cheers!
5.9 ,hey,,Gingers do think the same.
Is there any difference in the electric range with this lift kit?
Definitely won’t be switching.
What did you have to do with the sound vending (Exhaust lol) to keep it on there - i tried to have my dealer put that tire carrier on and they said they couldn’t get get in on cause of that thing...wish you were in the US!
You sir are at the wrong place ;-)
What size tire? 35?
35 inch, and they had to change the front driveshaft, its 4 inches longer than standard gas JLUR!
Just picked that exact jeep up a few nights ago for the wife. She is ready to lift.. Do you have a link to the specs on the custom drive shaft by chance?
Nope sorry. We just had it made up by a local drive shaft shop. Any drive shaft place can measure up the lengths required. It's just a custom-length 1310 Double Cardan with a new yolk at the t-case.
Love seeing some Canadian off-road content. Subscribed!
Also, i want you to do my next build. :)
Thanks for following along! And no problem. Give us a call anytime!
If you really wanted to do it right you would have gotten the pumpkin spice late
Bill... you are exactly right. Our sincere apologies that we did not "do it right". We have reviewed this oversight with our production team and promptly fired them all. Thank you and have a good night.
Where can I order that drive shaft? Planning to lift my 4xe
Any driveshaft shop should be able to measure and make you up a 1310 shaft. We found that the Rubicon and Sahara 4XE front shafts are actually different lengths ;-) We just have them custom made at a local driveline shop to our specs.
nice work... looks good
Thanks 👍
I want to know what is the real world MPG both on and off the road.
I want to know what the Electrical range dropped to with the bigger and heavier wheels and other components that you installed, as you said about 25 miles before the upgrades??
Hey CJ - we only had the Jeep in the modified state for a few days, but we'd say the larger tires/lift didn't do anything recognizable to the range. I'm sure it probably lost a mile or two in the all-electric range category ;-)
What gearing is in the axles? Rubicon come with 4.10 normally is that the same with the 4XE?
Yes.. 4xe rubicon comes with 4.10
never will i buy an elect, jeep
Gas here in Ontario is supposed to hit $1.80 by summer....so this is starting to look better..I think I'm losing my mind
Buck 80 a gallon, Damn, That's Cheap,wish we had those cheap gas prices here in Arizona!!
Or is that per Liter?
@@CJLane-62 yes it is! That's like 7dollars u.s gallon were screwed lol
@@Elprez69 OUCH!!😤😤😤
THEY Tried switching us to Liters back in the late '70's early '80's ,in California, but they were Charging the same price per gallon of gas per liter,When people found out that they were paying twice as much for a gallon of gas, I'll Put it this Way, THAT SHIT WAS STOPPED QUIK AND WE WENT BACK TO OUR OLD SYSTEM!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@CJLane-62 packing my bags for Texas buddy!lol
You make it all seem so simple! haha. Like as if you didn’t just spend 30 minutes swearing at the spring xD. The way you edit your videos is awesome and highlights the crucial bits well! Very well put together
Thanks for following along. We have been building quite a few of these 4XEs. We'll have an update video in December.
EXO Grapplers are some of the best truck snow tires I've ever used.
Yeah, we sell them to clients who live in Whistler, Squamish and up north.
Just ordered a Gobi colored one today, now we wait.
