    With fleet plates... looks like a rental.

    I haven't paid enough attention to the 4xe to have an opinion on it, other than it's weird when a Jeep rolls by making electric noises.

    A coworker that came into town got it as a rental. The full electric range is abysmal. “Up to 21 miles”. But if it gives you full torque from stopped/at gas idle, it is a game changer for off-road crawling.

    This was my take as well although I've never driven one. They are supposed to be absolutely killer offroading. I'm kind of excited to see what folks do with the technology.

    Although it would work for me to commute to work on full electric and barely use any gas… and charge fully at work for probably $5/week.

    What is the purpose of toll roads in Denver metro? Other than to steal money from people.

    It’s for the wealthier to not be as affected by traffic. Also, for idiots to cross the double white lines from a stand still and cause accidents.

    I was on Blinky's show for my birthday one time.
    Found out years later that he had a weird little shop on South Broadway

    How cold should my AC be in a 2015? Recently got a company car and it absolutely crushes compared to my Taco. Last week over 100 every day in GJ and it couldn't keep up at all.

    pretty sure Toyota AC is subpar across the board.
    My 06 Tundra has what you described, barely keeps up.
    My 02 GMC workvan with 0 insulation and wide open from stem to stern will freeze your balls off in a matter of minutes.

    Compare the ambient (outdoor shaded) temp to the air coming out of your vents to see if you’re having cooling issues.

    the air volume moved in general in the Tacoma isn’t enough to cool the entire cabin from what I’ve experienced, so even if it is putting out cold air, it doesn’t really have enough BTUs to chill the entire cabin.

    My 98’s AC is great.

    My 04’s AC is mediocre. I need to go down the rabbit hole of AC soon. Before I take it to a shop to fix all the shit I FUBARd

    Sounds like it's working just fine then haha. It is cold air, just can't cool the cab.

    I'm in the habit of making poor choice and more work than somethings seem to be worth.

    Had a chance to pull the petcock today and try and lengthen my tube.

    Discovered my old petcock had a pickup tube that was slightly larger in diameter and happened to be a light press fit to the new petcock. Added about an inch of length to it and gained dick all in extra reserve. Still not much more than a 1/4 gallon. I guess a tilt in the tank really changes the level/capacity when it gets low.
    It was only about halfway up the sock before.

    and my nifty tempered glass high flow fuel filter. Added about 2.3hp.:cool:
    at the very least it should stop the gas starvation that the plastic and paper filter caused with spirited riding. It would barely flow, this one doesn't seem to cause any restriction. It wasn't noticeable around town, but pounding it up the Poudre would cause the motor to choke until i backed off a bit.

    Can't really make sense of the pictures.
    Read something about you trying to lengthen the tube for your cock? And you "gained dick"? Are you sure you're on the right forum?

    Just read more.... Now you're pounding someone up the Poudre while choking them? I thought this part of the site went away years ago

    Co-worker had one and it wouldn't charge right off the lot. Jeep tried to charge him to fix it. He just traded it in for an older jeep but not sure if it's a 4xe or not

    hello kids! Good news and bad news to share.
    We've tried to go camping a few times and sadly have had to pack up early and go home. The smells of the wilderness aren't agreeing with my wife. I fear this will be the trend for the remainder of the season. Thats the bad news as camping is my wife and i's escape from everything. The good news is, next season, there will be a lil miss murph joining us! So if any of you hooligans have tips for camping with a baby, please send them my way!
