As we make our way from Rock Krawler in New York to Texas, we decide to go over a few things on our Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon! How much it weighs, how the long arm and 3 link ride, a new modification, and how we finally fixed our crappy Jeep windshield!

Congrats on your new clothes. 😁
Jet fuel is basically kerosene.
Bet y’all’re getting a rig like Hollie! Cause I been looking at ‘em too.

Jeeps are awesome, you just have to upgrade the oem windshield, suspension, wheels/tires, drive train and engine... sweet
Lol
I've had probably a dozen Jeeps, including 4 Wranglers and 1 Gladiator. I run large tires that stick outside the fenders. I live 1.8 miles from a rock quarry and there are dump trucks on the roads all the time. I have not one single time in 25 years had to replace a windshield for a crack or rock chip, save for ONE on an old Liberty CRD that cracked on a bitterly cold morning with the defrost on high. I have no idea how so many people are going through Wrangler windshields like candy.
OFFRD just lucky I guess? I mean, they are breaking on installation lol
Glad we went with an aftermarket replacement; haven’t gotten a crack in over a year!
Btw thanks guys for the sticker at the gas monkey meet up! We were the couple at the bar that ran into Kev on our way out. Got to take pics of the Step Child. Amazing build!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
I have the pedal commander throttle controller on my 5.3 Silverado and I love it.
No lag in the throttle truck takes off like a rocket. 32 different settings throttle super touchy on highest setting
I would say this is the one of the best “Reverse Clickbait” vids I’ve ever seen! You think you’re about to watch a somewhat boring windshield infomercial and then...BAM you’re on a plane ride! Only your best followers would ever get here. Very Cool.
How does this only have 3.2k thumbs up and not the most watched video. Kevin you are a stud. Britt you are smart beautiful and amazing. Everyone else who subscribes watch the last minute of the video. Seriously not sure how this is not the most watched video on the whole channel. Trust me!!!!!
Wow! Those moves! And those sinuous lines! And that long slender torso! My Gosh Jelly is the cutest thing ever!
....but seriously, what a great video! The two of you are so comfortable on-camera, and together, you’re just so fun to watch, and we all learn in the process.
And yes, Jeep windshields suck - even my lowly WK has a big crack from a tiny chip!
I thought you two, especially Brit, would be grinning and laughing in a small plane! Try a glider and aerobatics - you’ll love it! Warner Springs near San Diego has a glider port.
Interesting to see the weight StepChild has put on - all for a good purpose of course; but that engine is still the best sound of all !
Great video! Love that LiteBriteNation!
I have to second what one of the other guys said; I will never, ever not watch one of your videos all the way to the very end again!! We drive the same 2018 JL Rubicon as well (except my wife had to have the fancy one touch retractable roof) and we havent had any cracks yet but she is kind of a pavement princess as my '05 LJ takes on the dirty stuff. Love the videos and if you guys are ever down in Tampa (you guys done Busch Gardens yet??) we've got a very nice guestroom that hardly ever gets used and my wife Carmen will cook the best Cuban food youve ever eaten!!
Fantastic..I remember when we met you guys at Rock krawler that you wanted to take a trip to NYC and we suggested not to take the Stepchild to NYC and that was a way better way to see NYC without the smell and traffic and not to mention the NYC attitudes to boot! Jelly is sooo adorable. Thanks for the footage, be safe and have fun hope to see you guys back in upstate Ny .
Bill and Sarah
P.s. Britney we love the sound effects for the windshield crack spreading. Lol
Suggest you file online with the NHTSA.GOV about the windshields cracking. That sounds like a manufacturing defect and safety hazard. If enough people file, there may be a recall & you'd be reimbursed for the rest. NHTSA can and will spank 'em. Chassis flex, bad glass, whatever. That's their problem
So I have a 2015 Wrangler with a stock windshield. When I got my first rock chip I stopped at the nearest auto part store and bought a tube of this fix/repair glue stuff. It filled the chip and now I can't even find it. I feel like if you do that soon after a chip happens, it won't split. I've not seen -12 degrees but I do live in the high desert where it gets down into the teens. I think that first chip happened coming back from Moab now that I think about it.
Awesomeness how your sub invited on a airplane.... beautiful views.....Stepchild is amazing....Jelly almost caught the ball🐶😂.... you 2 are wonderful.... egarly awaiting the next video.... Safe travels
Any vehicle with a flat windshield is going to catch hell. All my old Scouts and CJ Jeeps went through several but, I never had a problem with them cracking, just pitted, chipped and sand blasted. I used Safe Lite for replacements back then and don't know about their quality now days. Brittany and Spandex are an excellent fit. Jelly and Crazy..... an excellent fit.
My dad had one of those planes. Thanks for bringing back a great memory for me. U guys rock!
Came here for windshield info and got an entire show lol, you guys ate awesome
What no in flight drinks service on the plane? Joking.
Happy New Year to you guys! My windshield totally fine with nothing haha. I must have gorilla glass or something.
Britney, the ending was great. You should be a model :)
Love it when you leave us hanging...it's the anticipation of the next adventure!
My biggest challenge living in Texas is no mountains and no public lands to enjoy. Other than that we love it here. (Moved here in 2001). Great Video!
It’s One Ton Dually with toy hauler time fuck yea 🤘
Of course I gotta rock chip right after watching this....lol... I have about 5-6 small ones and haven’t had any of them get cracks yet. I’ve heard so many things about Jeep windshields being crap but I guess I’m just been lucky with mine. Mine is a 2012 so maybe they just made them better then. I’ve had the iDrive for about 9 months and I personally love it. I use it on U9 on the freeway and I have a 6 speed manual and 4.88 gears and it just makes it easier and don’t have to shift as much. In town I’m U2-4 . It’s funny cause after I got it I kept hearing that it’s a waist and don’t buy it. Well I really like it glad to hear your response about it. We all need our Offroad video fix and long arm test results.
Wow Jelly really weighed down the Step Child. I don’t think you got enough new clothes Brittany😂😂
Holly crap I almost spit my Mountain Dew out when you referenced the Twilight Zone with Billy Shatner!!! Lol!!😆
Man I bet that jeep drives like a dream hell ya🇺🇸👍❤❤❤
Britney you are drop dead gorgeous 🥰
And look at Jelly try and catch the ball 🤣🤣🤣
So adorable love you guy's have fun and see ya soon enjoy that jeep.
My 2 favorite things. Lite Brite and NYC! ❤️
ok so at 18:50 in this video you should have rolled the footage of that jeep engineer saying there is nothing wrong with the stock windshield... lol
Nice video, the Beech Bonanza was a surprise. It is a bit smaller than the helicopter I am working on now. Just replaced my windshield on my JLUR Pumpkin Pi before Christmas went OEM as I didn't have this information available on this aftermarket windshield. I did save the windshield to use as the glass in a picture frame with all the stickers trail maps and cracks to hang in the shop. I guess I need to look into the I drive and see if this is something I would want.
What a wonderfully entertaining video. Variety of content, adventures in the sky, tech, and fashion show! Britt's closeups rocked, her skin is flawless.
Very cool! Love the video footage of NY. crazy city. Can't wait for some wheeling videos and the long arm kit.
You guys are such Rock Stars,! This might be the best vid yet! The footage over New York was phenominal! Just wanted to say thanks for all the behind the scenes work you do to put forth enteraining content. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next installment.
had to come back and watch this for windshield info. my damn windshield cracked not even from being hit by anything, but from flexing my body on a bad road. jeep windshields are pathetic. thank you so much for the info. love and peace as always.
yeah cant talk crap on i drive. you can on pedal commander because they are horrible. tthey are just signal amplifiers but i drive actually works. stock pedal is laggy like im driving my old jk
Wow! The plane ride was so cool. You two are so blessed. I can't wait to see what you're up to next. Love you.
I’ve been waiting for this video since I saw the Instagram post of y’all in the plane. My family took a random unplanned vacation to New York the other week. We left three days before y’all got there. It was my first time there, I can only imagine how cool it was to fly over the city!
Take the Razor to Alaska when you go with TrailRecon 😁
That NYC view was very pimp, and i've heard that flying on propellers planes it's more comfortable than on jet engines, but i don't know, i've never been on a plane; that view was great, that's for sure. And the ashers... for me, that i smoke... are a must have on any vehicle with a hard top. That new "trigger" mechanism for the gas pedal, after the whole explanation... look really good to me; i wish more vehicles had something like that as default, instead a gas pedal "as crisp" as a CETME C trigger, and btw, doesn't hurt to recognize that you were mistaken before, learn from mistakes and recognize that sometimes you make mistakes or that you were wrong.. i think that makes you better, accept the reality for be in possition to change it. I was hopping to see Brittany's mom now that you're safely back in TX, i think she's funny and i like her; and all those clothes look good to me, I think you're very favored with them. And... last but not least, all what your hoodies need... it's a front zipper; zipper up? = winter, zipper down? = summer. Put a front zipper on 'em and you'll have a customer here. Stay well, rest a bit, have fun in this 1st days of the year and take care.
Love lite Brite, love being an E3 member. Keep up the good work. I love to fly, I would paraglide before I climb into a v-tail though. I will stick to the rocks. Thanks for the info on screens. My Jeep window was new in 2000 and so was my Jeep. I have the same rock chip from 2000 today. Oh wait, I replaced that window in 2000 and a week later got the new chip. Jeeps have had the same issue since the 40's lol. Glad to finally have a solution. Thank you.
It’s easy point the nose at the ground until you get there 😂
Y'all be cracking me up lol. Good video and glad y'all had fun. Looking forward to y'all next one.
40Ft sounds like RV and you will be towing the Stepchild behind it. What an awesome tour of NY. Nice views!
So blessed to get to do what you do. Glad you found a good windshield.
Hey guys, I'm a brand new first time Jeep owner, I think what would really help me learn the ways in my Jeep experience is more videos dedicated to Jelly.
The first time I flew a small 4 seater was over AC at night. Really cool experience. A lot easier to fly a plane then one may think.
Hey kids, if you really want your little Jeep guy for your windshield, you can get decals that you stick on and it looks oem, that's what I did to my aftermarket windshield. Great video as always.
I own a 2019 JWR and had to replace my stock windshield on my 2nd week during the summer driving into Denver. I replaced it with a $460 aftermarket windshield and have had ZERO problems since (5 months later). I absolutely recommend an aftermarket windshield. They are WAY better!
The first mods I did to my jku was a K and N intake, performance exhaust and a Hikeit throttle controller. On stock tires and suspension it is the quickest jk around. The throttle controller is amazing. Makes a huge difference.
1badawg66 what year is your one mate? I’m looking at a 3.8 and people are saying they a dead slow
CHEAP JEEPER mine 2012. I intentionally stayed away from the 3.8 but what I know is there is a delay programmed into the pedal response of the gas pedal. The Hikeit or pedal commander or whichever brand you choose can remove it. An air intake and less restrictive exhaust is a positive for any gas engine. Combined these mods made a big difference for me in an otherwise stock JKU.
I have a $0 deductible comprehensive coverage on my Jeep insurance policy (CA). Unlimited windshield replacements. Totally worth the extra few dollars a month, compared to having a higher deductible.
Any ride in a Beechcraft is a class act, but around NYC is an E-ticket ride for sure! Looking forward to watching the Stepchild wheeling the trail with it's new suspension.
This is some weird voodoo stuff… I saw your RUclips upload notification pop-up on my phone just before I left for lunch only to get a rock chip that has now gone vertically up-and-down the whole windshield of my JT… I just rolled 3500 miles.. apparently it’s not a matter of if… It’s when.
My 07 still has it OE windshield with couple rock chips but no cracks. Had lots of things from limbs, rocks, birds and a deer hit it and still holding up good. Can’t complain about OE windshields think it’s tuff. Might be the new cheaper made JL’s
In Texas check out Tex Plex. We at LDR Suspension work very close to them and I think you guys will love it.
Thank you for another great Video! I took a pic of the windshield part because I know I'll need it in the future. Nice filming of NY! Takes me back to my early flying days. B787 is just not the same as that type of flying. Britney, your killing me!!! Seriously, nice job, both of you! Good job Kevin.
My 2011 JK still has the original windshield. 3 stars in it but none have spread. Also my wife can make a Jeep guy for your after market windshield..... and anything you want that may be chasing the Jeep up the hill like maybe Jelly.
The good ol doctor killer lol. Ill admit the v tail bonanza is cool looking but i would never personally fly one
So funny Poor Kevin hardly gets a word in in any of their vids without being interrupted
That's a nice doctor killer you guys were flying in.
Yup
Happy I wasn't the only one that thought that.
One of the nicest I've seen. Love the color combo & the 500ci 6 cylinder doesn't hurt....need one in my JLUR!
Ever thought of getting your windshield wrap with a protective film. They do that for supercars. It might help on your next one
35000 miles in a year and a half on my JLU Sahara and no cracks or chips yet....knock on wood. and thats in Vermont where they sand the roads with gravel in the winter. Had rock chips in every other vehicle i have owned but not in this Jeep yet. Guess i've been lucky
I always wondered if you guys have different glass windshields in the US than europe or else. Every american car i see has a crack in the windshield and not the round tiny spider like cracks, no they are basically just split in half like i have literally never seen it happen with windshields here in germany for example.
my 2008 is on its 4th windshield i was thinking about making a 1" thick plexiglass one
awesome info on the windshield! Good to know. Jelly grabbed that stickso fast at the end! Love her!!
Wow ! That last part of Britney's shopping try on was Awesome!! 😍😍 How beautiful to share that 😊😊👍
Welcome to the area hope you had a good time
You made Black Friday and Cyber Monday a festival for all subscribers. BTW: I totally missed what you told us about the windshield ... :) :) :)
Keep going, I love your vids!
I haven't given it much thought since replacing it but I had to replace the windshield in mine about a year and a half ago and at the time no one had factory windshields. I have had the same experience as you guys, I get rock chips but not a single one has cracked across. The previous factory took one small rock and split across both ways. Ironically I live in Arkansas so maybe its just good ole Arkansas windshields, lol.
About that red extension chord plugged into the front of the plane. How far can you fly until it becomes unplugged from the wall?
BILLY THE PHOENIX lol
Greatest fashion show EVER!! LOL.
What was the ball in that jelly was playing with at the end of the video?
B Good cat toy
Thanks!
Can’t wait for the next wheeling trip to see the new setup killing it on the rocks!!
owned a jeep for 3 months and windshield looks like I throw rocks at it for fun.
Raymond Ayala ya it’s so crazy
Damn that’s crazy ! Is it a Jl that you own
Raymond Ayala I had a 2013 Ford F-150 company truck. It cracked every time a grain of sand hit it.
Had my Jeep for 2 months now. First month nothing, 2nd month I got 3 chips in about a 2 week time frame
😳🤬🤦🏻♂️
Wow, I didn't know people could still get clearance to fly over Manhattan like that. Freedom tower is right there. This guy either has a lot of pull or jumped through a lot of hoops to get permission to fly in that zone.
BROJAK HORSEMALE I was thinking the same thing
Yay, another fun video. Thanks. I was wondering if you still had the Toureg. I did not even know you had a Sequoia. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. PS, nice clothing haul!
Ryan rkj super fun right?
Nice, drives like a Buick treks like a Jeep and has a heart of HellCat
I don't have the iDrive but I do have the Hike It version - it's very difficult with a man peddle to drive on improved response mode - so touchy that it sounds like you'tr trying to race everyone. Not to mention stripping clutch!!! However the improved response is very noticeable and quite awesome!!!!
Love to see how much fun you 2 are haveing!!! haha keep it up !!! It keeps me going geting ready for my bone marrow transplant to fight my cancer!!! so more cool vids please!!!
Good luck!! I hope everything goes well!!
Our compass has had 4 rock chips repaired already. The wrangler has had 1 repaired and the only reason I got it was from a salt truck flying passed me in the other lane.
About to make that South Jersey to Texas drive moving back end of this month. What route do you take and do you guys go all toll roads?
Ian Lucas I only do till roads if it saves a lot of time. Otherwise we just sightsee along the way
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 you go north way through Ohio, or south?
You flew in Fork Tailed Dr killer.
The Bonanza was a “Hot Rod” of Aircraft ✈️ . Expensive and only Dr’s could afford them.
The forked tail is called a Ruddervator. On the newer ones beech changed to a conventional tail with Rudder and Elevators
The pilots would loose control due to the unconventional tail and high power of the engine. That’s why it got the Dr killer name.
I work on jeeps for fun, worked on aircraft for years. I’ve worked on a Bonanza too. Cool airplane, if I remember correctly the yoke could disconnect and pivot from Pilots side to FO side. I know it’s an old video but depending on how well you remember this you may appreciate the info about the plane… you already know about jeeps so no need to comment there 😂
4:16 So cool to see you guys in flying around in my place of work. Come to Boston and we’ll fly over the city haha. Btw even the brand new Jet I flew last week had an ashtray. Good place to store cheeky notes for the next guy.
How is the windshield holding up? And if you’ve replaced it, how long did they last?
You guys need a car hauler that has a sleeper and has room for all your toys that way you can enjoy all of your vehicles and all the different trails and tracks. Much love and respect for you guys
You need to come back to Michigan to wheel both the jeep and the razor at the Silver Lake Sand dunes. Also there is Jeepfest in Toledo Ohio next year as well where your JL was born.
Over the weekend I happened to take my JL Unlimited over the truck scales at a Utah state weigh station and it showed 4620 lbs... With me and a good amount of my gear in it.
The timing of this windshield video is good since I just joined the broken windshield club this weekend.
Omg. No more six-pack shocks. You need to change your logo design. You should wait until the coil overs get installed. 😃
Look forward to seeing the RV.
A quick fix for small chips in your windshield. I have a small crack in my original windshield on my old 93 yj. Its 1 part alcohol, 1 part bug juice and 1 part rock salt. Mix all 3 together in a glass container, then brush it over the chips and small cracks. I do this once a year and the crack becomes almost invisible. It's been 6 years and the crack has not grown.
I think maybe there are more than one manufacture of windshields, and maybe some are better made than others. I've had my JL for almost two years, no issues.
I use the iDrive. The only downside to the iDrive is the number of people, who have NEVER used one, telling you it doesn't work. On my old 2010 3.8L JK Wrangler, the iDrive was absolutely the best performance upgrade you'll ever make this side of a supercharger. It literally transforms the early JK's
Great Tip. Bought a 2020 JL Rubi on Halloween. Wind shield cracked 1 week after I picked up the Jeep. Been looking for a solid option and was considering the Gorilla glass but after seeing this recommendation I'm going to be looking for the same. Keep up the great content!
P.S. Nothing hit my windshield. No rock chip at all. Just a crack.
Bonanza are awesome planes so fun to fly. 👍✊
Hi guys great video, didnt you guys have a wrangler jk at one time, if so was the windshield the same way?
That’s a lot you guys, my wife ordered me a long arm kit for the Rubicon.....I snuck your video on her this morning....chu ching...she called the Jeep shop, not me....I owe you one....
Sweet, the step child hauling a 40 ft trailer lol
Also, Brittany, idk what ya did to your eye brows in the beginning of the video but they were on fleek. Have fun in Tx!
Man I wish I was able to keep up with the E3 off-road stuff and everything I'm a free member but I just haven't had time to sit down and check it out you guys are all over where I'm from it would have been great to meet up.
Can’t believe the Jeep has that many rock chips!!!
Hey guys Thx 4 all the videos Please keep them coming Kool stuff Peace from NM
Thanks for the video 👍🏾 👍🏾. Glad that you two are enjoying life. That's awesome 😁
Will you be going back to 6 packs in the future on the Step Child?
I’ve went through 2 OEM windshields and both have cracked, went and bought an aftermarket windshield from our local auto salvage and had them install it for $185, no leaks and no cracks so far.
Raldo Maria dam the factory one sucks
Happy New Year guys!
I run the Gorilla glass and takes everything with out splitting so far. And got the little Jeep guy still.
Awesome info. but a question I seem to recall you said you killed a previous Jeep? and How did you come up with the step Child name? I assume Red Head stepchild??? Not sure if you ever made up a video about this? Happy New Year
Yup, red headed step child! And FCA replaced the Jeep shortly after we originally bought it due to a steering issue
Woo!! took a ride on the fork tailed Dr. Killer.
