I live here and been up the Mountain many times, even in my BMW convertible. There used to be no Rangers now there are many, too many, and I had one who was very nasty and threatening. They need to tell these Rangers that they are there for our safety and not to bull or treat us as children. It is a fantastic view from on top. I recommend this if you only do one thing here on the Big Island.

Man we loved this beach and we were very glad to have one of your jeeps to take us there! Great video! Thanks Joe!

id be willing to bet the fires were caused by the vehicle theft rings in Hawaii.

What day of the week and time of day was this??

Wifey and I rented the Kehena V2 for 4 days and it was an absolute BLAST to drive around! Joe and the staff at Big Island Jeep Rental are THE BEST Car Rental on the Big Island! We took the Kehena V2 to the summit of Mauna Kea and it was literally a breathtaking experience! The thrill of driving above the clouds up to the 13,803 ft summit and seeing the telescopes and observatories was so totally cool and the Kehena V2 handled the climb and the downgrade like a Pro! Joe has a good video showing you how to go down the volcano and not glaze the brakes over, but if you're not sure, just ask he's happy to help! I can't recommend Joe's Big Island Jeep Rental enough, his Jeep made our experience on the Big Island even more awesome! Book your Jeep Now! 😎🌋🌠🌌👽

Can't wait to pick up my jeep on Sunday! Thank you!

This was my wife and I first visit to Big Island. We had the privileged of meeting Joe and one of his jeep techs when we arrived to pickup the jeep for our time on the Big Island. Joe and his tech was very friendly and helpful with answering any of our questions. We rented the two door Jeep Wrangler (Daisy was her name :) ) and she was perfect for my wife and I. The softop convertible was an added bonus. I surprised my wife with a the trip up to Mauna Kea to go star gazing at the visitor center. The next morning, we drove back to drive up to the summit. This trip will be talked about for a very long time. The stargazing and the views from the top of the summit was unbelievable. Joe's videos were super helpful on how to operate the 4-low transfer for the trip to the summit. This was my first time driving a 4x4 vehicle and I was a little bit nervous. But with the help of Joe's videos and walk throughs, the drive was very easy and worry free. My wife and I are looking forward to visiting again next year. Definitely going to rent a jeep from Joe's Big Island Jeep Rental and next time, we will go see the sunrise and sunset from the top of the summit. This time I will remember to purchase the Rubber Duck souvenir along with the rental reservation since I forgot to this time around :).

We'll see y'all on the 15th! What's that restaurant, kinda hard to hear lol.😅

Where is this exactly? Couldn’t find it , more info please! Thank you!

Hi Joe, loved your video. How long did it take you to drive up & down Mauna Kea from the visitor center to the summit.

I remember driving my honda accord up to the top 12 years ago with snow around and i haven't gotten close to sliding out of control.

Thank you for speaking to the ranger and mentioning age restrictions. I was in the process of planning a trip for my 9,3,1 year olds to see snow for the first time in January as we live on Oahu. Guess we’ll try somewhere else for the next 12 years 🤣

If you have an EV like a Tesla or a Rivian, can you just use regen to get back down?

As someone who will be there in about a month, and who has never driven in 4 Low before, what is the process of driving down? Do you use the gas at all while going down the mountain? Or just foot off of the pedals and let the jeep go down on its own?

Ooooh..ahhhh.. 😅..that is neat. Above the clouds... pretty.❤

What an AWESOME experience! My Wife and I will be talking to you guys in September of '25 to rent a Wrangler for the trip! We were referred to you by Jordan and Erica from The Hawaii Vacation Guide!

Man we really enjoyed the jeep we rented from you and being able to summit Mauna Kea was the icing on the cake! Having a jeep enabled us to enjoy the Big Island on a whole other level! We will definitely be renting again if we ever make it back!

We plan to go to Mauna Kea in June 2024 (12-20). At 71 years old and overweight, I do not plan to go past the visitor's center. My questions - "Is the sunset great from there?" and "Is the star gazing good from there?

We did the drive up 2 weeks ago. One of the highlights of our trip. It was overcast and foggy so we ended up driving out of the clouds for a pretty cool sunset.

What type of tires does this suv have and do you still have this vehicle

What'up-excellent shots!

Ok, good info. Just “Go with Joe”!!

Love Big Island Jeep rentals 🤙🏽

That's a nice jeep!!

Bringing a jeep up to Mauna Kea is excellent! So fun!

Description How to tour the observatory on Mauna Kea. hint- you need your own Jeep #maunakea  Check out this link for information on touring Gemini North Telescope- noirlab.edu/public/visits/gemini-north-telescope/ To get a jeep, go here: www.bigislandjeeprental.com/ note: we are an outfitter and a boutique operation and stock Jeeps with beach gear so we are different than most rental car agencies I've had customers go on and on about how well these Wrangler 4XEs do Mauna kea the engine essentially slows you down going down the mountain and that's what you need going down Mauna kea, and that's why you need a Jeep ( or something else with a true four low transfer case) This particular Jeep is just baller with the 20-in wheels and the Sahara trim package. I mean it's got the same amount of torque as a 392 hemi! A four door soft top you really can't get that anywhere else at car rental agencies in Kona These things are maneka machines and you're riding in style leather comfortable just really sweet Jeep just particular color of the silver which is zenith silver just really shines it's really super cool I think aloha, -joe @bigislandjeeprental

I’m thinking about getting one on my wrangler.

That’s not pantry that is o’oma

Have you had any leaking issues?

How many people can fit in this?

We gotta try that sway bar disconnect. Mahalo for the informative video, Pine Trees Beach is now on our list for places to visit (in a Jeep).

Sweet ride!

Awesome video!!!

Oh I love that sunrider tip, wish I got on my tj
