Welcome! On this channel, I take you along with me as I explore the country and, every now and then, give my two cents on the spiritual journey that has helped me face the darkness of addiction and come out completely renewed and ready to dance with life again. Whether I am road-tripping with my cat Bengal in my Jeep Wrangler 4xe (Infinity-Gecko), crossing another state off the high pointer's list or just hiking a nearby trail, I hope you will find something here that entices you to get out there and discover some of those untouched gems in your own backyard. Thanks for watching and on to the next trail!
Yes, if the Jeep is put in electric mode. However, depending on how much it needs to run to retain your set conditions, it may run the battery down fast. For example, I would use it on road trips if for some reason I needed to go into a store or something short term with my cat in the car. Then, I’d unplug the doors and run the A/C on electric and she would be comfortable. I did try to use it at campsites through the night, but the 4xe battery would run out by early morning the next day at the latest. I learned to use the battery to power a fan which kept working all through the night with a lot of the percentage left to spare even when I woke up the next day. It’s helpful to have a Jackery too as another source of battery power, but a fan and other devices directly into the Jeep’s hybrid battery will last a fairly long time. Always test your setup before venturing out. I did learn that the hard way lol. Hopefully that helps.
@@diaperdood1 no, if I remember correctly, when I tried to use electric mode while camping/sleeping, I woke up to the car off when the hybrid battery ran out…but don’t quote me on that bc it’s been awhile since I tried that and my memory is foggy. I do not remember the engine turning on though.
This is exactly what I needed to hear this today. ❤ Hard to imagine fear as beneficial, however I am willing to peek. Your thoughts are helpful. Thanks! ❤
@@charliepiazza damn I lost almost every cat not from old age or illness but from car hitting it aka road kill Because I live next to very busy traffic street
This is so great. I came back into being an artist after a 20 year break about 6 years ago. It has asked me to put myself out there in ways I wouldn’t have otherwise. I’ve also learned to network through it and am still learning and facing major discomfort along the way. My fears are around worthiness, standing out, and what I’m capable of - trusting my intelligence. What I notice as I go through this is that no one is better than anyone else and we’re all facing different things. You start to see that. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Sounds like we are learning very similar things in very similar ways. So glad to hear it and really happy you enjoyed the video. You got this! Keep going! ❤️☀️
3:30 🤯🤯 Wow thank you. Never looked at it this way and it explains ALOT about some of the people in my life and why I attracted the versions of them that I did, awesome video ❤❤❤
@@charliepiazza I’m 52. I have had nothing but Dodges and jeeps my entire life. If I count them off the top of my head about eight dodges and probably about six jeeps. I have always had something go wrong between 35 and 45,000 miles. Nothing serious. Blower goes out, fuse blown, windows roll up crooked and need to be realigned, Engine lights coming on for no apparent reason. A myriad of stuff. But for some reason, it’s always between those two mileage stamps. I’d say the most frustrating was the engine light kept coming on on my Dodge truck and nobody knew why. They just kept clearing it and I’d come back a month later with another engine light. Nothing too much to worry about Unless you’re warranty expired. lol
I believe there were one or two spots that seemed to have a fire pit. Now, if they are regulated or if anyone is actually allowed to be tent camping there, I cannot say for sure.
Hi Charlie, Thanks for this video. I think your sitting in a jeep recording and I have a jeep in that same color in Puerto Rico lol. But I am renting an RV in NJ and I visiting fanily in Staten Island, Long island and I wanted to know about RV parky.. Any tips presently would be appreciated. Renting the RV May 2024
I am definitely in my Gecko Green Jeep! I haven't been on the road since I made this video so I haven't used it inn the last year. However, from what I remember the app rarely changes and this video will still apply. One note: the green tents reference the state parks as told to me by another commenter on this video. Have fun on your trip!
Does the 4xe make any noises at night when you're sleeping? I was in another forum that said the jeep kept turning on in the middle of the night while they were trying to sleep but then maybe it was because they had a wireless carplay adapter plugged in.
Great video, just stumbled upon your channel. That spillway/waterfall at the beginning looked worth it alone to check this area out, but those view once you got to the top were pretty amazing as well. Subscribed to you as well looking forward to checking more of your channel out, happy hiking!
Exactly what I needed, I was laying this way and that way in the 4xe the other night and our neighbor suspiciously looked at my feet in the air in the car, wouldn’t feet anyway😂 Thanks! Great explanations!
The app is absolute joke, rarely connects with the Jeep, refreshing the app does nothing, need to uninstall and re install the app to get it to connect to the Jeep. when it does work, its great, most of the time it doesn't work, at the end of the 1 year free subscription, you must pay $30.00 a month to continue using the app. No thanks
It’s always fun to venture to new destinations from time to time but living and being from the northeast and new England is such a beautiful experience and environment. So glad to call it home.
As kids we used to walk across the GWB and explore the cliffs all the time. AS I remember what we called "The Frankenstein Stairs" was fairly close to the picnic area on the shore just north of the bridge. Winter brought giant icicles that formed and fell off the cliffs.
Thanks for video. The Giant stairs for sure it is very difficult. In your video I only saw you did a short trail. The sign says 2hrs and is true but it was worth it.
For the most part, I actually think it would generally stay the same although what I will probably do is make a new Top 10 video because there is just more. I have figured out more about the hybrid battery usage and would probably tweak what I talk about in that item if I were to remake this video though based on your comment. :)
The angle of attack on the JL windshield is way more aerodynamic than previous models. Just watch how and where you drive could save you a couple windshields. I’m sure they will only get more expensive with ACC and the built in antennas as time goes on.
Yeah I saw that about the antennas. I haven't had a problem with the glass since it was replaced with Gorilla Glass as was on my initial build so I venture you're right.
