A few things to report on:

Got door jam guards. Instead of the stock looking Amazon specials like we did on Kailani 1, I went with a different style that had a ton more coverage. While the fitment wasn't exact, they look and fit nice enough. Kailani has been hereby upgraded to v2.06.

We took it out to some flexing points by the Snake River a couple weeks ago, my wife got some serious confidence in the Jeep. I have gopro video I'm editing.

Then snow hit. We've seen a marked decrease in range below I'd say 25 degrees F. Could be because we have the heat blasting, could be us constantly remote starting while we shop.

The last thing we've done is the launching of this vehicle. Holy shit, wranglers shouldn't go this fast, but MAN is it fun when they do!

Charge on battery - check.
4Hi/4Lock - check.
Transmission in manual mode - check
Hybrid mode - check.
Hold brake/give gas - check.
Foot off brake.
Slam transmission into Auto.
...
Pick up the things that flew into the back/onto the floor.

Finally got the video of Kailani getting flexed out a bit more down by the Snake River while our 15 year old was fishing.

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.
