Absolutely love women who know the workings and use of all the modification's on any vehicle whether off road, dragster, sports car,motorcycle,etc.
Wow, thanks for taking care of those fender wells and adding those mods. The stance is way better and the front does not look so squatty. Kevin, way to go on your diet. Looking fit and using those tools with authority. Keep up the good work, it shows in all you do. Until next time 🤙👍
Dam, hell yeah , the person who wins this Gladiator in the fall is going to pass out from shock and wake up 24 hours later , shake their head , roll their eyes, jump in it and give a hell yeah brother and drive away smiling from ear to ear and your lady knows her shit, well done and you will never go wrong with Bilstein shock products ,I have use them for 40 years in lots of different applications and had no failures you 2 are super fortunate to be able to test these shocks right from factory Have fun testing those shocks off road , that is the best mount system for all Jeep JK /JL models 67 designs makes the best quality stuff for Jeeps
Awesomeness...the build is never done...great products added on...gonna be fun driving her on those trails...Jelly always making friends every where...egarly awaiting the next video....Safe travels
OMG. She just gets more beautiful with every mod! Can't wait to watch the over land trip. Please don't tear her up for me 😆
Just because it is a “foster child” doesn’t mean you can’t throw some soap and water at it once in a while. Lol, looks great!!
We washed it right before we left the shop. 😅😅
My lowly Bilstein 5100's are now not worthy... What a great vehicle y'all are building for me! I have learned so much about equipment and good modifications from you. Amazing how you have built two Jeeps into off-road monsters, yet kept them comfortable as a daily driver. LiteBriteNationShocks!
There is a 5100 version with remote reservoirs.
Goodbye Step Child, Foster Child is the new favorite child!
It's coming along real nice. So happy y'all upgraded the shocks
You should use your influence in the industry to do something about that huge mirror. For shorter drivers like Kevin that mirror isn't an issue but if your over 6' tall that mirror creates a huge blind spot. Kinda sucks having to lean forward to look under the mirror when you pull up to a four way stop.
Being able to move the mirror up and make it the size of an Iphone would be awesome.
Cool idea on the axle tabs for tie downs. I use axle straps, but you always have watch for brake lines.
Summit 4x4 used to be a place where I would play pool. I used to live 2 blocks down the street. Such a great place to spend time. Hope you enjoy it there.
Hey Chris! I remember several owners of that place. It was once a detail shop/car wash. Lite Bright, did you get a sticker for the Step Child?
rllb17 we have been in Prescott too long. We are referring to what things used to be.
On a side note I had a tire blow out sitting at that stoplight when I was headed home from work one time. I ended up driving it the couple blocks home.
What next... full lockers! How much better can this build... I mean come on LB... your kicking ass on this build!
That’s awesome! Get it guys! That is one sick set up already!
It’s gonna be hard giving that truck away! Such an amazing job building it with all the right products! Much love from Louisiana
I went on the bilstein web site and Lite Brite popped up. Nice!!
Really?! That’s rads!!
Well ahh damn... THe fenders looks great!! Also the shocks and liners look sweet too... I can't wait to win the StepChild... And hit trails...
I’m glad you guys had a chance to shake down the Gladiator and I learned a lot about splitting the fender which will be helpful down the road. I am curious though, you showed a Softopper underneath a bed rack. Two questions, 1. What brand of rack was that? 2. Did the owner say anything about how difficult it was to stow that Softopper with the rack installed? I am curious because I’d love a weather-protected solution for wheelchairs in the bed and still having some utility and customization. Thanks Brittany and Kevin!
He responded in a comment below with how to contact him for more questions!!
This build is getting better and better love it .
longer track arms in the future? those coils are pretty curvy (at 21:34). lol
How did you make the rock block mounts for your mud flaps I'm doing the same thing with my JT and splitting the Fender is OK with me but I really don't want to lose my mud flaps can you show a small video or step-by-step or at least pictures of what you did to fabricate the mount and mount your mudflat please and thank you
Just caught Hyperdrive and to my surprise I recognized a couple faces. Just finished episode 1 and the mic drop. Hope to see you in the winner circle by the end of the season.
lol, you two are going to have a hard time going back to a ground tent. I give it a couple months and then we see an Ursa Minor or something similar on the Step Child :-)
OMG I LOVE MY GLADIATOR JUST THE WAY IT IS LOVE YOU GUYS
Let’s us know if you like these better than the RK shocks on the Step Child!!! Going RK lift on my JL, but planned on Falcon 3.3 shocks.
Seems like it will be a high mileage well used, modified.and potentially rusting spots no one will see until its to late in the fenders 😕 jeep before you give it away 😕. Glad I bought mine already. I do like the shocks though.
Can you tell me what kind on bed rack was on the Gladiator with the soft camper top ? Thanks
Wow those Bilstein's are a huge upgrade. Please give us an idea of how much those are per corner. I am just going to guess at least 800 to 1000 per shock. Just amazing stuff. Ok and as I have mentioned before if you both just pick me you can be Foster Childs #1 guardians when you need an extra rig to go play. Lol
You guys rock! This is my dream JT
Y’all should’ve met up with chris shontz venture4wd . He was just there in his latest episode.
Sweet shocks! And just so Kevin knows, I'm kinda right there with him, and it sucks to be vertically challenged, especially when you can't reach something and some long-legged girl comes up and reaches it for you. lol.
So can you have the standard membership or you go to have the premium to be entered to win?
Nope, all levels of membership are eligible to be entered to win
That's it. This music is making me want to get genright fenders!
Cool upgrade😎👍
You guys are awsome love you guy's keep the video's comin and keep up gradeing my gladiator that way she's ready for when i come get her in October lol.... Take care and stay safe out there...
My rig is stock, I do every thing you do. Jeep built these to drive, everywhere,anytime...They built them to drive the way they make them, Can't even imagine driving any of your rigs. If you are ever in the Ocala FL area, I would make a day of it.You drive SANDMAN, sign the dash,I drive STEPCHILD, Sign to dash, sounds fair. Just look up : SANDMAN. PM me for more info.
I will be in St. Augustine, FL, July 2-5, And I believe there will be FIREWORKS from the BRIDGE of LIONS. Short notice, but live a little.... Oh, Pebbles and Chloe would like to meet Jelly, me too...
what coil springs you are using with those bilsteins?
or what coil springs are recommended to use with the bilsteins?
nice rig!
thanks
AEV's work well
Those shocks are beautiful.. Awesome build.. I'm already jealous of the winner! LOL one day I'll have an off-road ready rig and get a premium membership.
Guys can you please plan a trip to Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer Texas sometime soon. Please!!! I would love to meet you and have the honor to wheel with you.
Lite Brite has continuous morphing vehicles! What vehicle DON'T you mod?????
Great Build
Looking fantastic guys!
Absolutely awesome!
Whats the trail benefit if I replace my AEV Bilstein 5100's with the Bypass version, as someone who wheels blues and blacks at Rausch Creek and AOAA in PA? Thank you.
Benefits are adjust-ability, position sensitivity, and better shock travel and cooling. Having the damping force ramp up near the end of the stroke allows much more comfortable ride mid-stroke. That can make a long day of crawling much less taxing. However, the big improvement is in high-speed ride quality on rough trails.
That hurt a lot less that when you threw the Freedom Panels on the ground....and then ran them over.
Sick
Thanks for the video 👍🏾👍🏾. I'm looking forward to seeing the performance after the upgrades. I'm confident that, it'll be spectacular. Go with the LORD God & may HE bless you; always.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍😍😍God i wish I could win it it's looking good
Great video thank you!
Lindaaaa
The catch can reminded me. Have you ever had yours un-screw and fall off? Mine did last week. Turns out the engine doesn’t like that. Can was fine and didn’t even spill. But all the warning codes and goes into limp mode. Be safe! Have fun!
We’ve never had ours fall off. But we also check it periodically and make sure it doesn’t need to be drained
@@LiteBrite I figured. I check mine every 3-4 tanks of gas. I must not have gotten it tight the last time. As soon as it happened, I had a feeling I knew what it was.
@@LiteBrite I used to check mine regularly, but on my WK Hemi it only fills a third between oil changes, so I drain it then. Never had it come loose.
Gotta say, the factory fenders and components don't look very strong. Almost looks like they expect you to break all their crappy tabs and plastic welds and just replace it all.
Butt bolt holes?
The only thing that sucks about watching this video a year late is that I already know I didn’t win this beautiful Jeep.😩😩
Haha Kevin I do that with a hammer at work 😂
"Basically"
Thank you guys for what you doing to my gladiator
Jelly wants a roommate....................
first have a good day
I still don't "THINK" the build is over. I know you're going to stretch this build out to the day I win it. Awesome, awesome fun build.
Free+9
Don’t steal my glory !
It’s mine
I earned this !
So when I watched this there were 3 ads for diapers. Is there something you’re trying to tell us?😂
Is it just me or does brittney look a little pregnant too😳
Doh!
Hey today was no one's birthday lol
That’s a dream gladiator 🥰
Is the girl single
The Gladiator looks great.
Jly was so adorable at the end.
She sure does steal the show. 💕🐾
Man, my jeep is already dusty in side and I haven't had a chance to off road with it yet!
15:05 The Price is Right, thanks Vanna
I love yalls content and watch just about all of it. But i just can not get into the Galdiators, I thought they might grow on me eventually...but they just do not do it for me.
Awesome build guys, We restore and build older gear in our shop but we take things to the extreme. Right now we're giving away a Jeep TJ to one of our subscribers Check out the Iron Warrior Build with Munro industries. Maybe one of your subscribers will win it and be able to finally join you.
Yes... I'm hooked to you, so much! But I have a question: why the pictures/video of your iphone is NOT showing inverted when using the back camera? Its looks like you're using the front camera. Please tell me
Fender vs flare controversy.... Skip the rear, go to the front -
CJ, YJ, TJ/lJ all had a minimal rubber/plastic flare with a large sheetmetal fender on the front. The original Willys flat fender was not 'flared', it was all fender. The JK and JL have a large plastic flare with a small sheetmetal fender on the front.
The term flat fender for a Jeep goes back to the Willys era. CJs, YJs, TJs/LJs have aftermarket options for a flat fender in that, depending on the choice, the whole fender is replaced (or cut/trim and covered) with a flat fender and no flare. Flare being a rubber/plastic addition to extend outward. There is optional metal flares for the CJ, YJ, TJ/LJ where the fender itself is extended outward with a tube edge, some more than others.
So for a JK and JL, is it a flare or a fender?
For the Bilsteins, looks like an offset base on the axle mount. Probably to clear for the travel in that application.
What’s with those bowed springs up front? Not that big of a deal. Just don’t know if y’all noticed it. Looks so good though! I’ve been thinking of getting some king bypass shocks for my rig. I’ve heard they aren’t that good unless your doing high speed stuff and I’m a crawler. So idk. Curious to see how you guys like those bilsteins.
LB. Does she take 220 volt connection ? The Bilstein damper is the best I've found at medium speed Pre-runner type drives ! Triple Bypass unit are really competition level shocks and remote reservoir is all we require for overlanding Downunder. V
Everybody paying attention to the build yet I see those springs being warped
Like all springs that are attached/clipped in at both ends they bend or warp at full droop. Some attachment ends allow for twisting. Many vehicles don't clip in at the top, they look really weird/wrong at full droop, and can even pop out, past the stops not long enough to keep them in.
Alpine Off-road I noticed the samething and in all honestly I’m not crazy about the shock choice either
deesine vehicle manufacturer and almost any street market spring especially those multiple rate springs should be straight with is not the case after they wheel the vehicle out and pose it before talking to close the video. I’m also not an idiot and can work on anything up to rotor wing, as well have built multiple jeeps and Toyotas
Please don't forget to mount the dust caps on your adjustable Bilsteins. Otherwise you won't have fun with these too long. Valves don't like dust, dirt and water ...
Like the whole setup!! BUT!!! Why put the reservoirs out front behind the bumper but still in harms way????
That's where my parents live! Driven by that shop a bunch last time I was visiting. Always some RAD Jeeps parked in front.
Wow! A video drop in the middle of the day!!!! Thank you so much for making my truck so much better. #JellyNation
Love all the AAL products getting installed! They have to be my favorite money sucker 😂😂
Not sure I like those shock reservoirs hanging down below the bumper just my 2 cents
You guys made another badass machine!!!♥️♥️💯🤙
Geez guys, how many miles are you putting on the Gladiator?! :)
Awesome guys! Can't wait for the report on how those Biltsteins perform on the trail😎
Brittany "Lanky Long Arms" Williams
Looking at Bilsteins for my JK
A goddess among mere mortals!
what kind of saw was at 17 mins???
Its a sweet truck 🇨🇦
Interesting video
I’m not to sure about where they put them front Reservoir for the shock kinda bad spot for rocks
Did you guys get stuck at School Bus crossing? Alamo Lake, Big Sandy.
For about 15 minutes before we were able to self recover. It’ll be in the next video. 😁🤙
Please let me know when I can send my address for the delivery of MY "FOSTER CHILD " awesome vehicle. The question is what else do y'all have next to bump up my FAVORITE JEEP. 🤠
I know this has probably been asked before a million times, so I’m sorry for asking if it has. But can you tell me what kind of phone stick and mic you’re using? Y’all are very inspiring! THANK YOU!!
Ulanzi tripod and rhode video mic
Thanks! I went to a previous video of y’alls on a quest to find a link, because I figured you had a store to support and viola! There is was! lol. I should have asked before but what editing software are you using? Just curious (maybe I can learn how to edit, hahaha)
67 Designs equipment is so good, ditto those AAL fender liners! I'm not biased at all (they're in my rig lol) I'm wondering though, WHAT ABOUT THAT TRANSFER CASE?!? Love me some LightyBriters!!! Hope you two are having fun out there!!! (Of course you are...)
Are you guys interested in the new up coming FORD BRNOCO to test out? The reveal, if you don't know is JULY 9..Go to BRONCO6G for all the latest and greatest! The two door looks awesome!
Looked up those shocks...930 bucks a piece... maybe one day ill do it but not today!! Im excited to see how you feel about them. Are they worth how much they would cost the consumer? Let us know!! 🤙
Looks really cool now. But I would split the back fenders to make it look taller like the front. I would love to get those running light / turn signals. Maybe some day I will be able to afford them. Keep making awesome videos. And give Jelly some love.
Hell yea, this is the Lite Brite content I watch Lite Bright for. Good upgrades from the shakedown run. Did you do a camera upgrade? Video looked great, almost 3D'ish.
Awesome move keeping the mudflaps, love those massive new shocks, the build is really shaping up. I am not much of a RTT guy, think I will add a VagaBond Camper.
Someone needs to show Kevin how to get the "plastic rivets" out without drilling them. They have a release mechanism. Oh Kevin..... ;)
