How To Install a Metalcloak Stabilizer Relocation Bracket & FAD Skid on a Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2018
- Although Kevin and I are officially in Japan right now, here is one of the videos we filmed prior to leaving the good 'ol USofA!
After practically destroying our stabilizer shock on the Rubicon Trail, we were excited to find out that Metalcloak was coming out with a stabilizer relocation bracket! So here's a quick "how-to" on installing that along with their front axle disconnect skid plate!
Hope you all enjoy the video!
And, of course, don’t forget to follow my Instagram as well for more rad car stuff!

Don't let anybody change your videos the out takes are the best. Sometimes when A show gets too big producers come in and ruin it.
ronnie niebrugge Neverrrr! Those are what make the videos super fun!
You guys are a joy to watch and learn from. I just picked up my first ever Jeep (2007 JK X) and love getting ideas on potential upgrades. Have fun on your trip.
Your Rubicon has certainly seen some rough use. Keep the videos coming. And keep on enjoying your Rubicon to the fullest! Thanks for all these wonderful videos.
Going to show my age here but you guys remind me of my kids / wheeling partners. My wife and I always go with them over anyone else our JK 1 TJ and 2 YJ'S watching you guys is like watching them lol I would really love to have you two add a JL to our group someday. Keep up the good work guys
Amazing video! Loved the whole thing!
You both are awesome..can’t wait to meet you guys someday..just fixing up my 2007 Jeep rubicon to hit a long adventure to Colorado n back lol...hopefully soon..thank you both👍
Well done guys, very clearly explained and demonstrated what you were doing. Also the end was hilarious..
What a cool and genious painting on the other car!! Again a nice and "easy-to-follow" video! And as always: the end of the vid is supercool and funny!! (here's the laughing smiley again!) Keep going!!
jäckel olaf Thank you!
Love the driveway upgrades.
Great video guys
Amazing how much has changed in 4 years! Just now changing my stock steering stabilizer that y'all recommended I replace when you did the long arm install. Rubicon trashed it even more but the stock one held on even through Moab and trip out east. I'm looking at matching the Falcon shocks and going with the Nexus adjustable shock. Hope all is well.
Great Again! I just wish Metalcloak (and others) made all this great protection for my WK !
🤣6pack🤣awesome, you guys rock! Keep up the great work. We’ll keep on supporting 🤙🏽🤙🏽
brittany you need to pursue a career as a auto tv show host.your just a natural.im sure they have eyes on you.good job y'all,come to middle or east Tennessee fer some beautiful wheelin sometime. 🕺😁
silverdude Thank you for the love and support! 😊
Great Job guys
Good job guys!
I have been waiting for this for my JL as I have already punched a hole in my steering stabilizer boot and torn it up a bit. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼
American Jeeper You’re welcome!
Great instruction... this will do an up and coming upgrade for BROMANCE!
That's some grunt power Kevin. 💨
Grunting is the prime way that men communicates with other people!
Brittany : "Want Beer ?"
Kevin : *_grunt_*
Brittany : "Uh-huh ..chilled?"
Kevin : *_grunt_*
EPIC EPIC video again and again.....
LOOOOOVE the ending 😂😂😂
Great vid guys 🤙
Love the look of those skids. One day I'l get my skids for my Xterra to look like that lol. Awesome job guys!
Another Great Video 👍
Busting nuts all over the place!
Kevin busted 4 nuts just on a relocation bracket ! That's pretty manly !
Also, he must be a mutant, if he has that many nuts!
… or a squirrel !
Kevin, are you a squirrel ?
Or is it Brittany that stores up all the nuts ?
So, so many puns available !
You might even say that it's low hanging fruit ! … well, nuts.
The outtake was hilarious.
Another great video 📹, many thanks for sharing.
Have a good time in Japan!
I would like to echo that, so here goes : "Have a good time in Japan!" :D
Wolfgang Nebel Thank youuu! 😊
Hey Brit.. nice upgrade.. but the final move from Kevin with that humid bubble sound at first make me think there's a chance of a skid mark on that underwear!!!! the upgrade was interesting but Kevin"s final execution was the icing of the cake!!! Regards Saludos from your Puerto Rico fan!!
Great video, thank you!
Free stuff is always the best.
Great video you two rock.
Jeffry Presutti Thank you!
She is AMAZING !!!!
great mod! really come in handy
Tnx guys
Fun to watch 😀👍🇨🇦
Great vid
Nice job
Kevin giving Brit a run for fan favorite crop top moment. 😂
Beefcake !
With a side order of bare skin.
Kev did you really use a torque wrench as a hammer? Your fired Brit can work on it from here on out.lol
Great Videos. Keep it real is what I like about ya'lls videos.Id say most real Jeepers would too!
Getting lots of ideas of what all I need to be proactive on replacement & add on parts for my JLUR when arriving in few more weeks I hope!!!
Keep up the great job guys.😀😎 Jeep Jeep!
Spencer Gaither Thanks for the love and support!
Who needs a 6-pack when you have a keg? :D
Lol you two are perfect 🤣
That ending though 🤣🤣
“ So much room for activities, it’s making my head spin with all the activities we can do ! “.
~ Will Ferrel .- stepbrothers . 🤣
It's a "back blast area all clear" kind of ending!!
You guys should also look into PSC hydraulic assist, it is much more involved to install it but it is a must have when running bigger tiers and will element the stabilizer and will take away the stress from the steering box. I have it on my 2010 Toyota Fj SAS. Turning a 40” tiers with ease.
Great video as always 😜
admantiom1848 We’re working on it! Hopefully soon!
Will that work with the JL's electric hydraulic pump?
Bob Lionel Yeah, it’s just a hydro assist kit basically. We’ve actually been looking at getting one, cause they make steering while rock crawling wayyyyy easier.
Hey, I recognize that stabilizer! :)
nice out Kev
Great video , awesome content for a do it yourself, job.....hay Kevin it's better to let it out then hurt your stomach, plus your outside letting the air out......lol😁
I've seen many stabilizers customized like yours. One was so bad, the jeep couldn't turn right. Removed it to make it drivable again. When I replaced mine, I measured extended and compressed lengths on the shaft. Set it halfway, wheels centered and installed it. You live in CO correct? Thought I heard snow frogs at the end. Fairly common in cold weather locations. Not many here in AZ, but we do get jet moths. Another entertaining video.
that's sweet been looking for a good steering stabilizer relocation bracket:) On a side note if you are running synthetic rope on your winch watch out pulling your hook into your Hawse fairlead it will gouge it and when you are winching it will cut your rope. Get your factory 55 hook on there asap just make sure to clean up your fairlead. I have a factory 55 on mine and love it
Richard Coyne Yeah, We’ll get it out on once we get back home from Japan!!
Im late but still a great video!!!!
Edit: kevin please do not use the torque wrench as a hammer that hurts my soul😣😣😣
Everything can be used as a hammer at least once !
👌
I removed my steering stabilizer completely, and I didn't notice any difference. But I was only running 35-12/50's.
Nice vid. I'm under the weather so I have nothing clever to say this time. My neck is really stiff too hard to turn my head. I blame these vids cause I turn my head to the right too much watching them. Law suit forthcoming.
You don't have to take it to skid row!!! haha (I know bad punn) I love it sweet vids Keep it up!!!
Are you kidding, skidding was all they did throughout their honeymoon. >_
Brit, Christmas presents for Kev: hammer! Impact sockets. :)
James Pope 👍👍
Hope you were upwind on that outtake B!
👍🏻
Honest question - why doesn't the jeep need to be jacked up when replacing the front components? Or would that only be for something like suspension?
I had a feeling you guys were patriotic...That outro had an impressive 21 gun salute! 😂😂
David guitar madman 🤣
Wahahaaa I had to rewatch just to see what you meant . Kevin goes hard on them engine warmed burritos 🌯 to get those tones so low
irob rf those were some low tones haha
How do you like those tires on the road? Are they loud?
Another awsome video like always and love the bloopers i watched that one about 12 times lmao... Hopefully he burns those pants and power washes the drive way lmao...
Jared Bennett Haha Glad you enjoyed it!
💐
Lol ....Kevin sounds like it was Burrito time.....Lol
BTW. All those houses and cars around surprised me. I took you guys for 100 acres in the Mountains kind of folks. Lol.
I think they mentioned that they live in a suburb once ? Not sure, but it looks like it.
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784
You wanna be farmers ? Foresters ?
It's a mighty different life, y'know ?
@ 10:34 - Talking with your hands hurts, when there's a bumper in the way, huh ? :D
Great video, Do you have wheel spacers on this jeep ? if so how wide ?
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 Thank you for the reply
It would be interesting to know how much weight your improvements are adding not counting wheels or tires.
theslimeylimey The skids are probably 150 or so over the stock ones maybe. I dunno
Nice video but better push at the end Kev... 👍🏻
Hey guys , what brand rock slider do you recommend . Kevin is a madman so whatever protects the stepchild from him has to be good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's nothing wrong with a little beer belly
I thought the six pack comment was funny, until the very end that is. :D
Whoa hey, all the fizz in that 6-pack of beers needs to go somewhere ! >_
Have you guys thought about doing anything on the East Coast, like Rausch Creek?
Huck Huck Yeah, we’re tryin to plan out when and where to go!
@@LiteBrite Right on. We're not terribly far from Rausch.
Did this mod yesterday and now have a new steering shimmy when I hit bumps on the highway….
Off topic of your video, but curious, with the winch, were do you mount your front license plate?
1234nbbw We don’t. Lol I typically don’t run front plates on any of my cars.
@@LiteBrite I didn't have a front plate on my JK Unlimited Rubicon from the day I drove it off the dealer's lot in April 2012 until shortly after its arrival on Molokai in Hawaii in March 2017. I have Expedition One front & rear bumpers. In Hawaii, the DMV people insisted I "install a front license plate." So I did.
last time i saw your video white smoke was coming out of engine i think sth bad happened to that engine and it needs some repairs.since that day i have never seen you guys go serious off roading and all of your clips are about replacing some parts and this kind of things,i am curious what went wrong that day?
yakoob fakhri Nothing went wrong. 😊 When you’re at top great an angle for too long of a time, oil starts to deep into areas it typically shouldn’t. The smoke you saw is caused by oil burning off.
So essentially, what happened was that first you went to SEMA, and then you went to Japan ? Did I miss something ?
@@LiteBritethanks, i hope see you soon going some extreme off roads and rock crawling again
Lucky!!
Why is there a TX flag next to Britt’s name on the feathered car? I thought you guys live in CO. Great videos by the way. Love watching you guys on your adventures.
You both make me want to buy a jeep
I would buy theirs ......it's upgraded
Six pack? Don't you mean keg? :) Sounds like sombody's practicing for the marching band... playing their trombone. :o
😙
Why didn't you replace that destroyed steering stabilizer?! The bore of the tube is oval which means the piston on the stabilizer shaft can't move through the tube the right way???
I was going ask same question.
they did
@@dobrzpe looks like the same bashed up stabilizer getting bolted into place to me.
@@dobrzpe they reused the outer shaft cover. You are right.
Why didn’t you go ahead and upgrade the stabilizer while you were at it?
Kevin Williams oooooo
26k... nice!
Yeah, they're rising quickly. :)
Of course, 5k of them came to the channel in the last month !
If all 25k subscribers from last week showed up, we could have filled the Old City Stadium in Green Bay to the brim (25,000 seats).
But today it's too small, and a week from now, Lite Brite could conceivably hit 27k, at which point that stadium would be *much* too small for them!
That means that they would, quite likely, be able to fill the StubHub Center stadium .. again, to the brim!
We would fit in there this week, but probably not a week from now, and two weeks from now would be right out!
And despite that, Lite Brite is considered a *_small_* channel, by RUclips standards.
If such numbers do not mess with your mind, I don't know what does.
I don't want Kevin's head to grow bigger than it already is.
Nor put any naughty ideas into Brittany's head.
But dang, this channel is growing very nicely. :)
@@Grumpy_old_Boot Very much so. We were having drinks on the Vegas strip last Monday when Kevin announced 25k. 1000 a week isn't bad.
@@HamrickCE
It's kinda mind bending when you put the numbers into something that can be shown in pictures.
And to think that there are channels out there with more subscribers than small countries … that just messes with your head!
Ok, no stuffed Gizmo in jeep from the movie Gremlins 8( but a pretty Gizmo working and talking about jeeps 8) im back.....
LOL! Kevin has no shame.
That's how "kids" operate.
Don't think of Kevin as a kid ?
Just watch the SEMA videos. XD
The Step Child's History: 1) Buy Jeep, 2) Remove Chrysler parts, 3) Replace with Metal Cloak parts... Hope you had a good flight to Japan!
I hate Dr. Guenther Zooloft 😉
Real men have buddha bellies. Lol. Rock it out Kev.
That's not a six pack, it's the whole keg. Nothing wrong with that, I also have a decent keg 😂😂😂
#WeSawthe"bellypan"
#MakeWhiteBabiesToo
Kev talkin shit as usual!!!
Nice video, If a girl can handle your farts thats the right one 😂😂😂
Was that a crescent wrench lol
Ha gets the job done
Britt no Kevin nudity!!
Gas pressure from that hand ratchet is escaping; better tighten it up.
when is Kevin getting you a trail doggo?
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784
Aw man, I read that as "cook" at first … don't eat the doggies, plz! >_
Kevin Williams when y’all get back from Japan, y’all better go on a hunt for a pupper. Brittany deserves it! 😉
@@SpearmanJeepAdventures
More importantly, does the puppy deserve it ?
Grumpy ol' Boot that puppy deserves to go kick ass and be their companion while they beat their JL. Like Kevin’s instagram name.
.. the puppy is going to kick Kevin's ass ?
Allright, go puppy, go !! :D
Kevin!! Put that lady in a set of coveralls for these install videos. (yes, she will still look sexy...hot n sexy!) And always wear safety glasses to protect them pretty eyes, it doesn't take much dirt or a flake of rust to mess em up.
Just like Brit to blame Kev lol.
Now you have good music! Dig it! No offense!
Vinessa Shaw look alike
Get a creeper from SEMA for God's sake
No need, Brittany has plenty of creepers in the comments. XD
HA !!
Replace the stabilizer shock dude dang you were already in there. Lol
noahtheviking We did, more or less. Swapped it out for another oem one that was significantly less destroyed than ours and works fine. 🙂
you guys are awesome!!!
