I have not re-geared. When I bought the Jeep you weren't able to at the time. Not sure if that has changed. But I don't think I would if I could. It drives great and for the off-roading I do, performs just fine. Thanks for watching!

I really like the drone mount. I can see that making a mount for every drone and mounting location can be way too much. You can make a mount for a few popular drones with a "universal" back. Then mounting location bracket with a "universal" face. Make and sell as a two part kit. Drone specific clip and location specific bracket. Gives more flexibility. We Jeepers love flexibility and customized products. The opportunity to mix and match clips and mounts would be great.

3d projects are the best way to test new products before mass production. What I would like to see is covers for all those roll bar plastics. The one where you mounted a GoPro. I think those concaves with the screws look awful. A printed part with a good magnet to hold it to the screw head would look better. If the demand is high enough, then a molded cover like the grab handle covers would work great. Remove screw, install retainer, snap cover over.

That is real good considering you've upgraded to the 37's. I would have thought that would hinder the battery performance, but you seem to be getting about as much range as I do with the stock 31's. I'm leaning towards 35's I think for mine later on as I don't have need for much more than that yet.

The hate and misinformation is real, the 4xE battery and electric powertrain components are warranted for 10 years 100k miles nationwide & 10 years 150k miles in some CARB states so no it’s not a 3 year disposable Jeep, when the battery is out of full electric range it still has great power output over the pentastar and the 2.0l tt on its own. And the fuel economy improvement over other powertrains in city and off road driving is noticeable after a few loops with a friend with his gladiator people don’t realize how much fuel idling actually consumes
@BLUEDUCKOFFROAD
@BLUEDUCKOFFROAD Ай бұрын
I agree the real selling point for a lot of people that doesn’t seem to be coming through is the torque and overall power of the 4XE powertrain. It’s just the better option between the available engines other than say the Hemi (but is costs 90 grand). It works for me at least.
