Really hope your experience with this company and product will be better than mine. Had the turbo on for about 3 years. Pros: More power for highway driving and cool blowoff valve sound of a turbo. Cons (for me) Randomly stalling out and rough idles. Brought jeep to company multi times and were unable to get it fixed. Needless to say stalling out while rock crawling can be a bit scary. Problem I had with the turbo was the lag, you are either in low and the turbo kicks in quick but too low of a gear to get good tire spin or you are in a higher gear where you can get tire spin but turbo lag takes to long to get that instant power to bump it. Long story short wish I just saved my money for what I have now (LS3).
It is awesome to see a RUclips channel actually take an extra step to improve a mod, coating the exhaust piping is thinking down the road. Do it right, do it once. Awesome job!!
Well, I can’t claim “First”, since I’m rewatching this video four years later. Y’all have come a long way. Fun, talkie, a little less serious. LiteBriteNationBoostsLife!
Hold it up towards a light source. If you can see light shine through the air filter is fine. Also with a turbo you want that catch can. A little oil is fine but a turbo will put more then just a little. That’s why ford ecoboost with out a catch can tend to need a bunch of work right after 100k KM’s just in time for the warranty to expire.
Thanks Britney and Kevin for the extra extra helping of Jelly !!! And of course the awesome install video...Congrats on the turbo and that clogged air filter is crazy.. maybe you guys will get better MPG's ..keep up in the loop..Thanks again and good luck..
“The engine will blow before we have to change spark plugs again” -Kevin Williams It was at this moment he doomed this engine ;) love you guys, keep up the great videos!
I have a prodigy stage 2 on my 08 jku 3.8l. . Its been on for 3 years. Good call on the ceramacote, i did the same to mine. Prodigy's quality and customer service is top notch. Trust me, u wont be disappointed with it. Nothing better than the psshhh!!! Sound.
CALLED IT! Kevin can't keep a secret...I'm tempted to supercharge before I HEMI swap...but first axles, bumpers, proper suspension...okay there's a small list of things to do to my Jeep. Starting my first auto sales job at a Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM dealership later today probably should be sleeping but Lite Brite videos always need to be watched on time. 360p gang!
I love turbos. Save fuel when you don't need them but kick it in the ass when you do need them. Next thing you guys might look at is a snorkel. They have a pre-filter on them to keep dirt out of your system. And they help get cooler air to your turbo.
Obviously a GREAT shop! A fine kit and more torque is always welcome on the trail. Hopefully, the louver modification will not cause havoc with electrical systems when it rains - some of the after-market louvers come with drainage systems. For ANYONE with a dog - antifreeze is sweet poison to any K-9 - care should be taken when they are anywhere near the stuff.
If you’re wanting more heat control. Go to PTPturboblankets.com and get their lava wrap for the exhaust pipe. Wrap the pipe atleast til it’s out of the engine bay. It’ll help the turbo perform better and it combined with the coating will make the pipe so you can almost touch it bare handed. Power driven diesel did a RUclips video proving turbo blankets work if your interested in the actual process. Keep up the great videos!
TURBO! HAHAHAHA I JUST KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! Lol ENJOY IT Iknew you would. Glad somebody finally got the instructions right. Yup! Glad your doing it right.
I had a conversation with Bill Savage about turbos vs superchargers on off-road race trucks and he explained that racers wanted more low-end torque, which is one reason why you see a prevalence of superchargers in the off-road world.
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 Dan Vance 1459 Tacoma used to run the TRD supercharger w/ 7th injector until they figured out the intake air was so warm they weren't really gaining any performance during a race. Hopefully the internet doesn't misconstrue my comments as being anti-turbo, just trying to add background to the subject. I look forward to seeing the turbo jeep in action.
So cool. Love the turbo route. I'm not super familiar with this system, but I always felt that Jeeps should use the smallest turbo to get the job done. A ball bearing twin scroll rated at 450-500 BHP would be perfect. You'd get a solid 350+ at the wheels, and you should get a great spool with mounds of torque down low. A properly sized turbo can give a supercharger a good run for low end torque, and would actually hit full boost way sooner than either a roots or centrifugal charger.
Just an FYI about the air filter... Modern fuel injection engines do not respond to a dirty filter like an old carb motor. The computer recalculates the fuel requirements based on the air available. The power will fall off a small amount. You need to be concerned about dirt and air bypass. As the delta p across the filter goes up the dirt and air find their way around the filter. better to replace it regularly.
Yeah, it just always got moved down the priority list or forgotten about in the busy schedule or as other things broke or occurred (such as death wobble, loose suspension bolts, etc etc).
By adding black paint you increased its heat holding, also Not sure the inside wall of a turbo casing should also but painted black. Think about it in a like metal foil in oven, great for holding in heat take the foil off, it cools very fast. Now paint that foil black, do you have the same results? Probably not, due to extra layers it needs to cool. Yes great for corrosion prevention no doubt, but if your turbo blew up I suspect, the nice powder coating and black color had a play in this.
HUUUGE Congrats on the turbo!! I'm a huge fan, been following for a while, and I think it's super cool y'all are here in TN and getting turbo'd up here!! 'm over in Nashville currently building an XJ (my first Jeep) and you guys give me motivation to get my butt off the couch and progress on my project so I can get even a smidgen closer to riding the trails.

Light brite, with hp tuners could they change when you can and cannot engage your lockers and your sway bar and did you have kill of all the traction control. Also are you happy with your gear set on 38’s now that you have the turbo?
Well, those tires aren't made to pussyfoot around, they are meant to be used ! Still, I think they'll get some decent miles on them, before changing them.
Steve Ledbetter we’ve decided to run tires down to about 50% then get new ones so we can give someone the 50% ones for free. That way we always have new tires and the old tires are still usable for someone else :)
With the catch can, aren't you losing that oil from your engine? Are you topping off the engine after you empty the catch can? My Jeep jku eats about 1 QT every 1500 miles.

Sounds great! The thing I don't like about turbos for off road is the turbo lag when you need it instantly. The blower gives that boost right when you need it. But I would be more likely to go with a small block Chevy in a CJ and build my suspension.
Old Griz that’s not how that works. The turbo didn’t subtract from the torque we already have from the v6 and the 5.13 gears. It’s still the same as before but adds on the mid to top end. I’ve never needed more torque below 2500 rpm
Michael Prewett 😊 Despite what the uninformed and salty Social ADV David T said (we’re in fact very very far from being rich, he just may not be familiar with the terms sponsorships and marketing). We definitely should clean out or replace the air filter more often, you’re very right! In all honesty, it just always got pushed down the priority list or just totally forgotten in the midst of fixing something more important (such as death wobble or loose steering components or a smashed shock lol). 😊
With all the guys that tune around here in Tennessee. One of the should have been able to unlock it on the Dyno. That's how we did the vehicle's that we Dyno tuned at. The shop I worked at we did several tunes. We use to host Dyno days and all that fun stuff.
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 ah we never touched Jeep's for tunes. It was mostly LS cars and trucks. And mustangs and other performance vehicles. I would have thought it would be the same. But maybe not?
Awesome! Question though....no concern about opening the hood vents with no filter media? Seems like water and specifically dust from offroading will not be your friend. I would think it might be wise to install a filter of some kind to control that.
Love your channel & after having 2 turbo fails in the last 4 years I hope yall have better luck than we've had ! Its just a lot more to tear up imo, keep up the great vids.
Kevin Williams .....one was a powerstroke diesel, 2 years later was one on a Duramax diesel , I’m not a mechanic & the dealer said something about the intercooler failed on the power stroke , I’ll never own another diesel or gas turbo, just my experiences , I just know w/o a turbo there is less to fail
Kevin Williams Kevin LoL I told you !!! I’ve been a mechanic for years Kevin listen to your subscribers once in a while , we know about cars too hahaha . I told you this and you got cocky and now because of lack of oil you guys got rod knock and are now replacing your engine . Adding turbos and not adding more oil more frequently gives you problems it’s not just the tune bro . I owned a awd dynojet for 7 years I was just sick of people knowing more than me and trying to correct me and then blowing their own engines hahahaha so I stopped tuning and became a high end chef lol .
Hrm, that's actually a decent point, though the rest of the jeep is lifted. Still, if they ever want to get serious about water crossings, they would need a snorkel anyways.
Those turbos DO have an awesome sound! Seems like a Massive undertaking. Thanks for going through it and sharing! The beauty of most modern V6 is that they can be Awakened so easily!!! I have the 3.8L in a '09 JK wrangler) I added a K & N filter ...and WOW!! Then I added a perform chip (low$$ by Volio) this took away the delay), then Dual(ish) axle back exhaust ... MORE WOW!! .. Then I added a hotter coil, Then gaped my Spark plugs to a WHOPPING .60 Gap!! 87 pump gas = W.A.F ROCKET!*#!! Yes (estimated 375 foot pounds and 315 - 320 HP) 0-60 in under 9 sec (it weighs 4K +lbs.) and [if I keep my foot out of it] over 420 mile per tank (nice on the long trails :) Thing is STUPID fast with NO delay!! People DO NOT believe it's not a V8. Thanks Again for All your videos and watch out for smokey bear on the trail with that monster! Easy to get a ticket or crashed up with that acceleration. ... Brakes?? (Upgraded Pads and Good shock / struts will save your A!) PS. If you are planning to come towards northern AZ (Sedona Red Rock District) look me up SO many Wide Oped Jeep trails in every direction with views and vistas and every turn :) - Keep it Between The Canyons -southwestjeff
Br Cc We have gears to help offroad. 😊 We’ve never had an issue there. This will help with sand dunes, towing, and driving across the country in general.
Well, to be fair, they have been busy. But yeah, it should have been changed on regular maintenance checkups. Oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter, clean brakes (new brake pads, if worn). Stuff like that usually gets changed on regular maintenance … well, at least here in Denmark..
DJ-TRAXX Usually just always got pushed to the bottom of the priority list (or we forgot). Lol Finish a dusty trail, We’d mention we’ll need to clean it, then realize a bolt in the suspension came loose or something and totally forget while we fix that. Lol

Oil doesn't combust and lowers fuel octane rating when it enters a gas engine... No, the engine is not designed to burn oil, that is BS.. not saying you said that was true, just the myth of that is false
so explain a rotary which literally burns oil on purpose. Oil does burn it does not carry explosive energy the way gasoline does at combustion temps in a engine but it will burn cleanly if all is working properly. The only issues with oil going through the intake is the valves getting carbon build up because they do not get exposed to combustion obviously on the back sides. On older engines fuel kept the valve clean on newer DI engines nothing does so a catch can does help in that case. But oil does burn through an engine completely. Also it does lower octane but a lower octane actually has more potential energy and less explosive energy at combustion temps and pressures. But on the oil topic there are engines specifically designed to have oil enter the combustion process to lubricate the seals or cylinders and other than the design of the engine as far as pistons or rotors etc combustion is still combustion and happens via the same process. All engines are designed with the knowledge that oil will get through the PCV system and burn and are ok with handling that process. The only advantage of the catch can or removing the oil before it reaches the intake is saving the valves. on that point though I will say a 300 buck quality catch can is worth it on a DI engine as having to have the valves cleaned at 100k miles because they are caked is stupid. But you can also use seafoam or berrymans through the intake every 5k or so miles to help reduce build up as well and even with a catch can is a good idea as they do not stop 100 percent of the oil.
@@brandonbrown3600 yeah, ok... 1st this is not a rotary engine, 2nd oil in combustion chamber can cause carbon deposits, pre ignition, knocking, valve cooking, dirty binding throttle body, lower octane of fuel, foul plugs, etc... Please take your Google info and go to a rotary forum... I've built engines for 30 years, I know every nut and bolt on this 3.6.. take the plenum off and look at the intake and valves, coated with oil, sticky as honey, coating the valves causing carbon build up.... Don't tell me this is normal... Ur not qualified
I agree that is a bit more than I would pay, but the quality of the kit seems to match. Just look at that book. That kit looks top notch professional and that is reflected in the price. All the bags and hoses are labeled and the kit comes with every single part you will need. For a turn key solution plus some tuning support I can understand the price. I will be interested to see if a bigger aluminum radiator is in the step child's future, however.
Definitely think it would be helpful to the community to know what if any of your mods are sponsorship based being that there is a degree of product marketing involved. A good amount of us may go on to consider buying these same parts, but it's hard to know if the reviews of your mods are truly unbiased. I love your channel and have watch every episode since buying my JLU last spring. I support you guys 100%, I'm just saying I think solid transparency about some of these things would be a sweet add in so many of us can make informed decisions about our own builds while ogling at yours haha. Love what your doing Lite Brite keep it up😎
I’m stuck between love/hate all of these amazing mods. It’s great to see all of the nice mods and great wheeling, but it kinda separates you guys from the reality of 99% of the viewers.
justin dillon it’s a fun progression to push this jeep as far as we can. I think a v8 swap on one tons and 42s would be separation but we daily drive this jeep all over the country pulling a trailer with a RZR on it. Sleeping in it and living out of it. If all we did was trailer it around and back home I’d say you were right but I feel like we connect with people just fine. Showing if we can put this much abuse on a jeep, that everyone who has little to moderate mods should have full faith in their jeep because we’re going beyond that by far beating the crap out of ours and still driving it all over the place. Just my point of view on it.

The thing I don't like about turbos for off road is the turbo lag when you need it instantly. The blower gives that boost right when you need it. But I would be more likely to go with a small block Chevy in a CJ and build my suspension.
Old Griz that’s not how that works. The turbo didn’t subtract from the torque we already have from the v6 and the 5.13 gears. It’s still the same as before but adds on the mid to top end. I’ve never needed more torque below 2500 rpm
Time to update the litebrite logo to a turbo in the background instead of the sun
Trevor Gallimore haha yes
YES!!!!! but still keep the same style as the sun with the spaces and coloring. Make it happen Brit!!
Kev is like a little kid on Xmas
A dirty air filter is worse than dirty oil. As much offroading as the two of you do you should replace that OFTEN.
Hes rich. He dont care. Funny 10$ filter cant replace every 5k miles. Specially how much he off roads
Michael Prewett 😊 Despite what the uninformed and salty Social ADV David T said (we’re in fact very very far from being rich, he just may not be familiar with the terms sponsorships and marketing). We definitely should clean out or replace the air filter more often, you’re very right! In all honesty, it just always got pushed down the priority list or just totally forgotten in the midst of fixing something more important (such as death wobble or loose steering components or a smashed shock lol). 😊
30.000miles without changing filter in the maintenance protocol? Don't you guys goes to the Jeep dealership every 10.000 miles or less?@@LiteBrite
Thanks for the help guys I'm been debating putting a turbo on my jeep I kinda wanna see the number and mileage before I go for it
This is sick but for the next month your mpg is going to be horrible Kevin cant stop playing with the turbo sounds lol
Gunner Hamilton ya you aren’t wrong
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 I get it I'm the same in my cars lol cant beat that perfect boost pull
With all the guys that tune around here in Tennessee. One of the should have been able to unlock it on the Dyno. That's how we did the vehicle's that we Dyno tuned at. The shop I worked at we did several tunes. We use to host Dyno days and all that fun stuff.
Eric Newberry nobody can unlock the ecu at the shop for the new wrangler. You have to send it in
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 ah we never touched Jeep's for tunes. It was mostly LS cars and trucks. And mustangs and other performance vehicles. I would have thought it would be the same. But maybe not?
Eric Newberry Unfortunately no. It may get out at some point in the future, but at the moment it has to be sent in.
Good call on the grill inserts.
Another great video..our wiener dog was jealous of the camera time she got😂 was that a tangerine 🍊 Bronco behind you?
Bill Uransel haha. Ya
@08:44 Kevin, "is that rail plastic?". Tech Jason (with zero Fuck's given), "um hmm" (can't say more, we're on camera dude)
Kevin freaking out about the turbo manual is a mood
How much boost before you blow the plastic welds on that intake?
Timmothy Ketchell haha. Danger to manifold!!! Idk. Prob not a Ton. I’d say could run 12 psi safely
Plastic manifolds can handle plenty. The 4 cyl ecoboosts are holding over 30 psi without a problem.
Thomas Carpenter nice. Good to know.
Awesome! Question though....no concern about opening the hood vents with no filter media? Seems like water and specifically dust from offroading will not be your friend. I would think it might be wise to install a filter of some kind to control that.
tboruff73 just open the hood and spray it off. It’ll dry out
Love your channel & after having 2 turbo fails in the last 4 years I hope yall have better luck than we've had ! Its just a lot more to tear up imo, keep up the great vids.
Adam Newman what turbo and what was the failure?
Kevin Williams .....one was a powerstroke diesel, 2 years later was one on a Duramax diesel , I’m not a mechanic & the dealer said something about the intercooler failed on the power stroke , I’ll never own another diesel or gas turbo, just my experiences , I just know w/o a turbo there is less to fail
Now that you have a turbo do you think you will doing twice the amount of oil changes ?
irob rf no not at all. 5k Miles is fine with fully synthetic oil. Hell, bmw calls for 15k mike intervals on their oil changes with the turbo cars
Kevin Williams Kevin LoL I told you !!! I’ve been a mechanic for years Kevin listen to your subscribers once in a while , we know about cars too hahaha . I told you this and you got cocky and now because of lack of oil you guys got rod knock and are now replacing your engine . Adding turbos and not adding more oil more frequently gives you problems it’s not just the tune bro . I owned a awd dynojet for 7 years I was just sick of people knowing more than me and trying to correct me and then blowing their own engines hahahaha so I stopped tuning and became a high end chef lol .
You guys are the best, my daughter and I love your channel 🖤💟🖤
Raul Angel Fonseca we love you guys too!!
Raul Angel Fonseca That’s awesome! Thanks for the love and support, and definitely tell your daughter we said hello! 😊🤙
Turbos are way better than superchargers. Nobody runs superchargers in the world endurance championships! Great video!!!
Just wondering how much lower your intake is now.
Hrm, that's actually a decent point, though the rest of the jeep is lifted.
Still, if they ever want to get serious about water crossings, they would need a snorkel anyways.
Kenn S not much lower at all but I’d like to work on a solution
Those turbos DO have an awesome sound! Seems like a Massive undertaking. Thanks for going through it and sharing! The beauty of most modern V6 is that they can be Awakened so easily!!!
I have the 3.8L in a '09 JK wrangler) I added a K & N filter ...and WOW!! Then I added a perform chip (low$$ by Volio) this took away the delay), then Dual(ish) axle back exhaust ... MORE WOW!! .. Then I added a hotter coil, Then gaped my Spark plugs to a WHOPPING .60 Gap!! 87 pump gas = W.A.F ROCKET!*#!!
Yes (estimated 375 foot pounds and 315 - 320 HP) 0-60 in under 9 sec (it weighs 4K +lbs.)
and [if I keep my foot out of it] over 420 mile per tank (nice on the long trails :) Thing is STUPID fast with NO delay!! People DO NOT believe it's not a V8.
Thanks Again for All your videos and watch out for smokey bear on the trail with that monster! Easy to get a ticket or crashed up with that acceleration. ... Brakes?? (Upgraded Pads and Good shock / struts will save your A!)
PS. If you are planning to come towards northern AZ (Sedona Red Rock District) look me up SO many Wide Oped Jeep trails in every direction with views and vistas and every turn :)

Awesome upgrade guys! Really curious how the axles are going to hold up to turbo and 38s. Turbo is definitely cool and different. I like turbo sounds!
So how will the turbo help when you're off-roading? Doesn't it only engage at high rpm? I'm sure it will help with towing.
Br Cc We have gears to help offroad. 😊 We’ve never had an issue there. This will help with sand dunes, towing, and driving across the country in general.
Br Cc turbo starts spoiling at 2500 rpm. Gears are for crawling. Boost is for dunes, desert and towing.
Why turbo? Colorado. That's why. Excellent video.
I love Jesse’s accent. I didn’t expect that.
Ms. Angela haha me too. He’s a QT3.14
The price is easily over 5k the turbo it self is like 1k plus everything else
Esteban Saenz uh huh
Yeeeaaasssss!!!!!! Step Child is going to be a beast! Not that’s she wasn’t already.
Seriously??? Why did you not ever change your air filter? Wow! All that time in so many auto shops too? SMH
Well, to be fair, they have been busy.
But yeah, it should have been changed on regular maintenance checkups.
Oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter, clean brakes (new brake pads, if worn).
Stuff like that usually gets changed on regular maintenance … well, at least here in Denmark..
@@officialyasir
Oh, I agree.
I'm just saying they maybe have forgotten it, *_because_* they are busy.
probably because they didnt think of it. hopefully theyll get a reusable one and just start washing the air filter every few months
DJ-TRAXX Usually just always got pushed to the bottom of the priority list (or we forgot). Lol Finish a dusty trail, We’d mention we’ll need to clean it, then realize a bolt in the suspension came loose or something and totally forget while we fix that. Lol
That's what happens when you're constantly given product for free. You don't value it.
I wanted a turbo as well, so i got the 2.0T, and obviously thats a big HP difference, but its still fun.
Chonch the 2.0t is a great fun little motor for sure. I drove one and loved it
If you cleaned your air filter you wouldn't have needed the turbo! ;-)
RobDTom 🤣
That's super slick... Can't wait for the dyno vid! ... Now i have to go research temperature gains of ceramic coating... Thanks!
Now you have enough power for 40s or 42s :)
Reuben Yau yeesssss
Awesome video... great sound now😁.... you 2 area going to have so much fun....Kevin great funny faces and great dance🙃😁🕺🕺.... Jelly made a great surprise when Kevin lifted her... was awesome..... love the long video... keep them coming.... you 2 a awesome...Safe travels
It's ur blinker fluid it needs to be changed ASAP
Rock your 4x4 is absolutely top notch!!!
Oil doesn't combust and lowers fuel octane rating when it enters a gas engine... No, the engine is not designed to burn oil, that is BS.. not saying you said that was true, just the myth of that is false
so explain a rotary which literally burns oil on purpose. Oil does burn it does not carry explosive energy the way gasoline does at combustion temps in a engine but it will burn cleanly if all is working properly. The only issues with oil going through the intake is the valves getting carbon build up because they do not get exposed to combustion obviously on the back sides. On older engines fuel kept the valve clean on newer DI engines nothing does so a catch can does help in that case. But oil does burn through an engine completely.
Also it does lower octane but a lower octane actually has more potential energy and less explosive energy at combustion temps and pressures. But on the oil topic there are engines specifically designed to have oil enter the combustion process to lubricate the seals or cylinders and other than the design of the engine as far as pistons or rotors etc combustion is still combustion and happens via the same process. All engines are designed with the knowledge that oil will get through the PCV system and burn and are ok with handling that process. The only advantage of the catch can or removing the oil before it reaches the intake is saving the valves.
on that point though I will say a 300 buck quality catch can is worth it on a DI engine as having to have the valves cleaned at 100k miles because they are caked is stupid. But you can also use seafoam or berrymans through the intake every 5k or so miles to help reduce build up as well and even with a catch can is a good idea as they do not stop 100 percent of the oil.
@@brandonbrown3600 yeah, ok... 1st this is not a rotary engine, 2nd oil in combustion chamber can cause carbon deposits, pre ignition, knocking, valve cooking, dirty binding throttle body, lower octane of fuel, foul plugs, etc... Please take your Google info and go to a rotary forum... I've built engines for 30 years, I know every nut and bolt on this 3.6.. take the plenum off and look at the intake and valves, coated with oil, sticky as honey, coating the valves causing carbon build up.... Don't tell me this is normal... Ur not qualified
Diagnosis: Kevin Farted! ...lol... He's so excited...just like a kid...hahaha
Bob Quigley lol
$8000. Yikes.
+ the days of labor it would take an average mechanic working alone. You could pay for 50% of another JL Sport. Lol.
For a full kit with all the integration parts, tune, exhust, and detailed full instruction 8k is a really really good deal.
I agree that is a bit more than I would pay, but the quality of the kit seems to match. Just look at that book. That kit looks top notch professional and that is reflected in the price. All the bags and hoses are labeled and the kit comes with every single part you will need. For a turn key solution plus some tuning support I can understand the price.
I will be interested to see if a bigger aluminum radiator is in the step child's future, however.
Badass work guy!! Love y'alls channel! 🤙🏽
Niner 8 Tango Juliet I only paid 2900 for a twin turbo kit for my mustang it came with everything to get the car on the road
Definitely think it would be helpful to the community to know what if any of your mods are sponsorship based being that there is a degree of product marketing involved. A good amount of us may go on to consider buying these same parts, but it's hard to know if the reviews of your mods are truly unbiased. I love your channel and have watch every episode since buying my JLU last spring. I support you guys 100%, I'm just saying I think solid transparency about some of these things would be a sweet add in so many of us can make informed decisions about our own builds while ogling at yours haha. Love what your doing Lite Brite keep it up😎
I’m stuck between love/hate all of these amazing mods.
It’s great to see all of the nice mods and great wheeling, but it kinda separates you guys from the reality of 99% of the viewers.
justin dillon it’s a fun progression to push this jeep as far as we can. I think a v8 swap on one tons and 42s would be separation but we daily drive this jeep all over the country pulling a trailer with a RZR on it. Sleeping in it and living out of it. If all we did was trailer it around and back home I’d say you were right but I feel like we connect with people just fine. Showing if we can put this much abuse on a jeep, that everyone who has little to moderate mods should have full faith in their jeep because we’re going beyond that by far beating the crap out of ours and still driving it all over the place. Just my point of view on it.
I went from a JK to a Forester XT to a JLUR and the one thing I miss about the subie is the turbo whine!
importbeater24 well here’s your chance!
I hear the bald eagles starting to scream
Eh, they don't need Bald Eagles, they need Big Bison's to turn the crank.
(torque over HP, when you crawl)
Grumpy ol' Boot we have 5.13 for that. Our 4 lo is very low
they're going a different route and I love it. I'm curious to see how it works for them and how it holds up.
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784
True, that's a good point.
I've been debating weather to go supercharged or turbo with my 5vze swap
Omggggggggggggg!!!! As soon as I saw the notification on my mobile I thought it was like a 4 day old April Fools video
You guys are so awesome!
Turbo's are good. With the rubicon's (4/1) transfer case you can still get the turbo boost for crawling in 4low.
Shaun Brehm but with an 8sp auto in first gear you can get to 5:1 if you don’t have the Rubi.
You may have voided your warranty.
Hahahahahaha. Jk.
Josh V yaaaa just a bit
Would have been cheaper and still would have a warranty if they went with the 2.0 stock turbo jeep. XD
XSeVeNX7 lol. The stock turbo doesn’t make this kind of power. I like the v6 with a turbo
Has anybody noticed Keven says the engine will blow up before it needs another set of spark plugs? Hemi say he wasn't lying😁
