Aloha! 😁🤙

We got Kailani 2.0 on Wednesday night!

First thing the next morning, Thanksgiving, we got the soft top off. I snashed my two fingertips awful bad, but it's off.

Then some family coordination got the hard top down and off.

Immediately identified a downfall to NOT ordering the dual top group for $2500. 2.0 was missing the 4 metal brackets for the freedom panels. Robbed them off 1.0 and the only problem there is that with the ACC module two bolts can't get put in. But it's secure enough. I'll have the dealership fuck with that. It'll be money well spent to not have the hassel and it done right.

But the biggest downfall is lack of rear defrost, rear wiper and washer. ZERO hardware for it. So I'm now looking at the kit from quadratec and having the Peterson's do that too.

Have the steps to put on. The bumper too, but that'll take a little more time as the household commander would like the blue hooks swapped out.

As she stands today, Kailani is at v2.02. Hard top and stubby antenna. Hey, it's a mod 🤣

Mahalo!🤙

Yup, I made that mistake with my 2019 JLU. Bought a hard top after (it does come with the all the parts needed to attach the hard top, just not the wiring for the rear window).

Traded in the 2019 JLU for the 4xe with a hard top. Left the hard top on that I purchased on the 2019 at trade in and kept the soft top at home!

Now I have both for the 4xe. 😁

Yours had the 4 hard points in the front? Ours did not. And yeah, now there's only one bolt in each (up by the windshield) for now.

I had to install them, but they came with the top when I bought it.

That's awesome!

Yesterday we went wheeling with a group for the first time. Ran E-Save Charge the whole way there, and still was at 95% when we got there (65mph freeway).

I like the 4LO Idaho Offroad group because they aren't exclusively Wranglers. People run what they brung, and it's just more fun.

Yesterday though, it was 4 Wranglers lol. 1 JKU, 1 JLU, and 2 JLURs (ours was the 4xe obviously.

We only got stopped once thanks to snow, and we made it pretty damn far for a stocker. People loved the "freaky"-ness of the electric.

Here's video of that trip on the Oregon Trail Rd in Boise.

Today's cruise through the mountains with 4LO Idaho Offroad.

Also, here's the first real off road outing with Kailani 2:

Great job! And great videos! Thanks for posting them.

Put another video up, this one from the old days when I had my first Scout.

Check out my channel, Lil Aloha Idaho, and subscribe as we do more things Aloha in the 208.

Got a new video up, this time a simple how-to.

Shit. Thanks for the feedback, that's what my wife said too but she's had some vision problems and I was hoping it was that.

Mahalo!

Haven't updated on Kailani II in a while.

Will post after this about what's happened, but there's a issues going on currently.

More of an annoyance than anything else is that we seem to have lost GPS. On AA and CarPlay nav works just fine, but in Uconnect nav, or weather, or Offroad pages, the GPS reads zero, the lat long is off, and the navigation puts us somewhere in Oregon. Appointment is made @JeepCares .

The bigger issue though is that whenever we plug it in to charge, the two outside lights flash and the dash tells us to service the charging system.

Hopefully all of this is covered under warranty.

It'll do that after something trips the charging system and may just need reset. Did you plug into a different than usual? If you plug info the factory level 1, what do the 3 leds on the evse box do?

I went into town and tried a public charger we use all the time, same fault.

The charging port indicators go like, Blue, Green, Red. Or G, B, R. It ends at red.

The charging port indicators

Not the charging port.

The actual evse itself.

By EVSE you mean the charger right? What leads you to that?

 

[Mllcb42]

What leads you to that?

The factory evse will flash the 3 different colored leds in a number of different patterns to indicate error codes. Can help diagnose issues.

 

[IdahoJOAT]

ah okay. I'll plug it in tonight and report back on what they say.
