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 …
With the front complete on page 1 we move to the rear. On a lift it isn’t necessary to remove the rear wheels and like the front only a few things to need to be partially detached. The bottom shock bolts, lower sway bar bolts and track bar are all that’s needed to allow the …
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 4xe comes with a level 1 charger that takes 12-14 hours to fully charge the Jeep. A level 2 can do it in able 2 hours. We’ve installed a level 2 and already have experienced the advantages – most noticeably when the Jeep is charged more than once a day. Clarification or Technicality We …
Continuing on from page 2. Now that the front part of the kit is installed the rear section can be installed and tied into the forward center section. If your Jeep has door surrounds you can try to test fit and trim as needed. Ours required quite a bit of trimming in the front part. …
Continuing on from page 1 you would be at the point of having all the padding, covering and door surrounds out of the way. Following the supplied directions the installation starts with the front section, door uprights and dash cross bar. Don’t tighten up anything until everything is installed.
