Sorry you're having issues. Welcome to the new world we live in. The chances, these days, of finding someone who gives a F#&*K about their job AND your project is slim and none.....
So very true its rare.
Chris and Bec, yours are some of my favorite videos. I would be excited too if this were my Jeep. The build is off the charts but the two of you make it what it is and that’s amazing! Keep’m coming! I posted to Brittany and Kevin early on how blessed they were to have Chris. Bec, I feel the same way about you. You guys rock!!!
Even with your time restrictions (if any), I would send the frame and any other parts with rough areas and have them re-done. At their expense! No question, they should do that for you.
I think my favorite part of this channel is you two building stuff in the shop. You need your own channel with a weekly upload of just projects. This LJ is bad ass! Wish I was doing EJS this year to see it.
I love this team! Their dynamics, their attitudes and skill and attention to detail!
I totally agree!!
Beth is gone
WOW! That chassis is Stunning! The colors are great together! Fantastic build. All the little touches really stand out. Too bad about the powder- “Never enough time to get it right, but always enough time to do it over,” Teamwork made this Dream Work. Love how Chris always finds a way to fix problems. And Kevin makes a Cameo! LiteBriteNationBuffBronzBeauties!
Man, those powder coaters dropped the ball big time. I had a hole in the wall shop sand blast an axle, and they didn’t even want me to pick it up while it was snowing / made sure I had covered transport so it wouldn’t get surface rust. They did a great job and only charged $50.
Wow, just WOW! That thing pops. We all saw the amount of detail work you two put into getting that frame as close to perfection as possible and have it treated the way it was by the power coaters was heart breaking. You handled it better than I would have. It still looks awesome. Can't wait to see it on the trails. Much respect.
Absolutely hit it out of the park, love everything about your LJ, color combos are fantastic, GREAT JOB!!!
Man that sucks with the powder coat-er. This rig is going to be so killer!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Bec & Chris are the ultimate team !! Such attention to detail is admirable…. Great job 👏🏼 you guys !! Ps.. side note .. Bec’s ability to constantly look so physically in shape … also a testament in her drive .. not easy , by no stretch … love the content 🤟 light bright ❤
Don’t be a simp.
Hey Chris , let’s plan for the week end after Easter. Can I stay in the spare bedroom? KEEP IN TOUCH 👍I can’t wait to see you all!!!
Love watching you two doing builds. The attention to detail is fantastic. Great work.
The LJ looks awesome ! I saw Chris on Motor trend tv last night ! We need to get him a hair and makeup assistant ! 😂😂
Well he didn’t have his hat on is what I am saying. Becca after you scratch it the first time it will be all better. But it is looking a little like a SEMA Jeep.
Very impressive build. Love everything but the engine. Everyone and their mother has an LS😅.
It's looking like a masterpiece full of custom details and built to crawl. Love the build and all the fab work that was involved, very inspiring for everyone. Bravo Zulu to you both.
So I assume you are planning on rolling that thing a bunch to show off the frame...
If I was you guys I would definitely never go to that shop again for powder coat. At least they were willing to fix things.
The build is absolutely insane. Like every single detail has been gone through and checked over and made convenient to the ones building.
Are we going to get a cost breakdown? Just total cost really. Because I can imagine it’s way way up there!
Looks like a pro level build.... 🙂
After all the money your putting in to this build your not going to want to 4 wheel it
Bec I'm most impressed by how far you have come in this build, I don't doubt Chris has been a brilliant coach and has moved you along, but you deserve credit for your achievement 😗🤗
You guys have great way of educating without sounding pious. Keep it up. Your work is amazing!
It’s looking sic Bec! You guys are killing it!
This build is so sick. 👍🏻🇺🇸
It’s almost a shame you have to cover it up with the body.
This is one build I'm really freaking wanting to see completed.
I am Absolutely Loving This Build Series, So looking forward to seeing the Finished product, Chris you're Amazing brother and Bec you too are Amazing and You are beautiful girl So so Glad you guy's are apart of The Lite Brite Nation Team 😘😘😘😘 Love from The Land Down Under 😘 😘 xox
Just a stunning build. Chris is a wizard!
Can’t wait to see it finished. The LJ is my favorite model, plus with the stretch even better.
Looks good. I would have hit the brake rotor hats with some spray paint so it doesn’t instantly rust
WOW!!! I absolutely love It!!! Awesome job!!!
Sorry to hear you’re pain .hope you got you’re powder for a huge discount .I would of snapped .oh well hurry up you two .I wanna see it .!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️.going to be sweet .
WOW, it looks so good, I totally dig all your attention to detail with the colors, it's amazing, my favorite part is that you and Chris did such an epically GREAT job with it. What is REALLY wrong AF is that you had to make SO MANY corrections for the inadequate and total NEANDERTHAL powder coating work obviously done by an inept troglodyte crew. You said it's hard when you pump out so much work, you know what's hard, when your business is closed because your work is sketchy as Fk and you make customers fix your pathetic lack of integrity. AWESOME Karma out to you and Chris, it's totally GREAT because you and Chris spent the extra time, love it y'all
🤘😁
I had a coater F up a vintage BMW bike I built. Huge pita to fix. After that, I literally started my own powder coating. Only limited by my oven and I pay attention to detail. Your guy SUCKS. Now I do all my and my friends build parts, etc. lovin this Jeep and your guys team work.
3 questions... 1. How much can Bec bench-press? 2. Can she bench-press more than Chris? 3. Can she bench-press more than Kevin? No answer necessary, but just wonderin'. She definitely does a great job taking care of herself. Oh, maybe she can bench-press Chris??
After over 25 years in the Harley buisness, as a mechanic/fabricator/builder, I will tell you that A) powdercoating is WAY over rated, and B) if you think painters are trainwrecks, just wait until you deal with powdercoaters.......🤦
I am inquiring about some Coil Over and Bypass Shocks Build Kit for JKU 2012 Wrangler I love the LJ Jeep Build that you did how do I get part numbers to purchase and Tuning them.
Man it’s turning out great. I know I’m jealous. Lol. Will the completed version be at The 2023 Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion?
the whole built is awesome. outstanding job.
wonderfull build!!!!! very fun to watch!! your chemistry together is solid!! Congrats!!!!
I really like the adventure videos. They’re really fun. Last Sunday I was hoping for these build videos and got an adventure one. So I was stoked when we got a shop build video today. I’m excited to see it completely done.
Execellent! Wow it looks allot better then I though it would. I built almost stock and spend $35K you guys problaby have more than $150K. Please let me know if I am off track. Thanks, Juan
The color combo is awesome. I would have a hard time wheeling it if I put that much time into it and had it looking that sweet.
Let’s play, “name that shop” so we all can avoid shitty powder coat please 😇
They won't name names because that would only encourage 200K "keyboard warriors" here to blow up phones because they are under the impression they are helping.
@@Scottmaumee 😂
I wouldn't use them ever again if that was me, word of mouth will kill that buisness.
Chris and Bec need their own playlist, so all of us that love watching what you do in the shop can watch you and keep up with you.
The shop videos do have their own playlist. 🤙
PLEASE share the name of the powder coater so NO ONE else has to endure their incompetence !!!!! THANK YOU
Please tell me you are moving on to another powder coater! That guy F-up damn near every part! Crap happens but that is just crap. If your paying for a service, " Im busy" is NOT an excuse for crappy quality.
Hello, why an LS instead of a Hemi, if I may ask? I’m just curious is all. Thanks, love y’all’s work!!! I’m so impressed with the build, I’m actually speechless !!!!
Why did you chose the wrong year transmission to go behind the LS?? The later version has several upgrades including a larger TC to keep it from overheating. Its also missing the top bolt. If you where going to be stuck with the 4L60e, why not get the 4L65e with more planetary gears? The one you have is an early version. The later versions were specifically made for the LS motor.
Looks cool. Sucks the powder Coaster did a less than optimal job. You'd think they would have gone above and beyond for a RUclips channel to get advertising, but ivecrun into quality control issues with companies and won't advise their products either!
Powder coating is a farce. Any contamination that is in the metal pores when heated to cure the powder will pop the coating out resembling sun burn blisters. Also, powder isn't very flexible, so areas of high stress will crack and start to peel. You would have been better served to have used a solvent based epoxy primer, then a polyurethane topcoat paint.
The gold color on the fasteners is cadmium. It's very corrosion resistant. It's also a carcinogen. The colors you're seeing are an iridescence. Cadmium is an electro-plating process with a final chemical dip.It adds thickness, so when specifying cad plating, you need to watch the tolerance build up for tight fitting surfaces. If you take a razor blade, you can "carve" off some of the cadmium coating.
The sum of parts are starting to look like a Jeep again. Congratulations Bec, you're getting there.
AWESOME love your craftsmanship and details make it just a great build by both of you !!
That thing sounds fantastic! I've always really liked the look of these, I'm kind of thinking of replacing my 5th gen 4Runner with one. Kind of hard to let the reliability go, but I'd like something a little different and with more power.
Coming from someone who does fab your going to regret doing powder coat on the frame and axles... I use to powder coat in my business and never recommended powdercoat on anything thats gonna see abuse offroad. You can't touch it up once it chips. You can't make any repairs or welds through it. Once its damaged it just looks bad b/c you can't touch it up.
Should of used Steel-it on the frame and axles. Its weldable, and also easy to touch up. Its some good stuff. Powercoat is great on a street driven vehicle when you know your 100% know for a fact your done with working on it and no more fab work. With a jeep you will always be welding something or repairing something.
In art school we would call that color a "warm" grey. It picks up the cool blue tones and/or warm red tones of its surroundings. I think That is a fantastic color choice. Kudos!
What pro is doing the custom shock tuning? That is an art in itself. Learned that from running Custom Axis triple rates. May want to go to “triple rate” different rated springs to make shock tuning easier. You got to get within 250 lbs tuned weight per tire of entire vehicle to achieve optimum damping. With No ! Top outs..
This LJ looks beautiful
Brakes look like Kim Mulkey's outfit during the national championship game.
If i sent powdercoating stuff out an was treated like that.....! NOPE no more of my buisness.
There is no excuse for shoddy workmanship. I'm sure you paid good money for a job done correctly. You really should have held these people accountable. Busy or not, the job should have been done right.
I really enjoy your build videos! What's up with the Scout 80 in the background. I hope it is a future video.
Awesome build! Can’t wait to see it finished! One question- does the driver side exhaust go under the transmission to connect to the passenger exhaust? I couldn’t really tell in the video……….
I love watching these videos, but I hate ya'll at the same time, cause now I want to tear apart my ZR2 Blazer build and take it to the next level super clean, well thought out and engineered build....
I'm going to need a 3rd job to support this addiction
Hello from Michigan I absolutely love how much you have done with your jeep it looks fantastic beck.
I’ve been very satisfied with the powder coating I’ve had done at Elite Powder Coating on Industrial Rd in St George. Give them a shout if you need work in the future.
That crap in the threads is blasting media, once it gets damp then baked it’s an absolute bitch to get out.
I’ve also previously suffered a shit powder coating company. I feel for you guys, it tarnishes the feel of the whole build.
You can use aircraft jet nuts or K nuts that are yellow/gold and are much shorter height. Super expensive though. I have quite a few that I obtained through govt surplus.
That's a shame that the Powder Coat Company where such asses, total disregard for professional work, I'd be sure to let people know who to avoid unless they just want cheap work !
Such a pity the powder coater didn’t take as much pride in their work as you guys did. How the owner would even put his name to it baffles me. Guess he doesn’t want to be in business for the long haul.
Keep up the great content I enjoy every episode, can’t wait to see the LJ finished.
I’d have raised *!##@@**!with the powder coating company.
What are you doing with the CJ7? Hopefully it's not getting frankensteined.
Once you are done I’ll send you my 2006 LJ and you can repeat. 😂 Awesome build.
Can't even finish this .....negged me out all the knit picking. There's people out there with real problems watch the news lol .
They’d have just lost my business as far as powder coating. Sad.
Favorite build on this channel so far , you two Rock !
If dodge makes jeep why not put a dodge engine in ? I thought they’re big racers .everyone uses the GM engine lol😂
That and how does the oil pump & trans pick up push fluid at a 45 degree angle? Anybody check that?
This build is over the top. It is perfection. It might be to nice. I am readying myself for the tears when you get your first trail damage from that perfect rock and you cringe. Lol
Yeah, not good when you get poor quality workmanship. At least it sounded like they were trying to make some of it right. And powder coating is not cheap. At least where I live.
beautiful Job.. Frustrating about the powder coating ..... cheers.
I would be complaining gor a refund on the their poor work for sure guys 😂😂😂😂😂
Bec what’s up with the hat covering your face? Pull it up a little please. Your pretty face should be shown more
Boy Bec your a hell of a lot nicer than me , id be flippin out and blasting their name on youtube. See thats why they keep doing it cause they get away with it, hiring lazy non skilled workers instead of paying good people what they are worth ,this is what ya end up with. Being 57 yrs old i can tell ya it was never like this back when i was young , shame ya pay good money for a less than a up to par job , sorry you had this experience ..
ok so why didn't you rotate the heim on rear upper CA on frame side? Also this is my favorite build so far. Love the way you two think outside the box!
Ciao sono Fabio ho jk Unlimited vorrei un consiglio da voi per un rialzo della mia macchina.monto ammortizzatori rocks e molle synergi da 2 pollici e gomme da 35 .la mia domanda è posso mettere molle da 3 pollici con questi ammortizzatori e gomme? Grazie mille
Great video, love the exhaust dump , everything looks awesome 🤙🏻
What’s with the IH in the background? I have two 800’s in Hurricane.
Siiiick freakin jeep 🔥🔥🔥 you guys are badass m, can’t wait to see it 🥰🔥🔥
This thing is coming together amazing! I’ve been following the build for a few months and it’s super exciting to see it starting to get the finishing touches. Such a cool build and I’ve learned a lot from all the videos that you guys went in depth on the fabrication side of things. Pumped for you to get out and drive it soon!
Love the wheels and colormatched headers and long arms. Whole thing is pretty fkn cool. 👍
yeah uh no. If you're running a professional business and working on other people's stuff it needs to be taken care of and done right no matter how much product that they are pushing out. So don't be an apologist to the powdercoater. They screwed up and need to be held accountable. If they do it to you they will do it to someone else.
Who is the powder coat company, I want to know where not send my stuff!! Are going to get some kind of compensation or are you just screwed??
Absolutely sick build! Don't Kevin it on the first day, ha!
I can't believe you guys did all that work in just 25 minutes! 🤣
You wanna talk about absolutely fucking pist I would be, pay a bunch of money for coating and have it half assed and set out in the elements. Shout out to the coater and take it to someone else to have it redone. I'm the type of person that the fucked up coating would bother me and I'd have to have it redone
that lj is just one badass unique and beautiful build, i remember it was just a humble little rubi LJ too now being a crazy build man
i took a haitus and came back to it being done wich is awesome :D
I know how disappointing it is when you work extra long and hard on a project and the parts you buy or, work you have done doesn't meet your standards.
That is one good looking machine you two are building. The only thing that I see wrong is the exhaust dumping out one the rear tires, the heat from the exhaust will ruin those expensive tires.
Could you please tell me the difference between the LJ 50 frame and 410
With the amount of work you put into your LJ I really wish I would have gotten one instead of my JK
Next Chris's skill to unlock : powder coating !!
Dam those powder coat clan .seems like so many put out same half assed results ! I really am not fond of your exhaust tip design & location . Way to munch heat on tier's et .
Bec's Buttery's Brothers sweatshirt is awesome. You guys should do a weird collab
Great build! Can you tell me what headers you are using? Part number thx.
