392 HEMI SWAP on a 3.6L Jeep Wrangler JLUR!

[@Scottmaumee]

I like the Chris/Bec build job videos over the regular travel/outdoor LiteBrite vids. Don't hate me people.

[@hannestegeler9312]

+1

[@arm_luvr1002]

Definitely better for me to

[@shreveswat]

100% agree

[@alexanderadcock4962]

Same

[@fermbizzfermdiggity6790]

It’s refreshing. I even like the fact it’s not just off-road. Super cars, drifting and auto parts. I’m wondering about the Audi. Perhaps a rally car build?

[@scottibass]

I see Chris and Beck working on an engine, I hit like before even watching. The tips from Chris are so useful and show his attention to detail

[@pennypackmtb2542]

Another Sunday morning. I got my coffee and sat down to watch and learn from another Lite Brite video. Then Chris said he had a big package and I laughed so hard coffee came out my nose. Thanks.

[@mrgbluecar]

These guys are on another level when it comes to turning wrenches. Chris's tips are brilliant!

[@ItchyBurrito]

I really appreciate how much you guys care about your clients/ friends vehicle's!

[@swyoung69]

You can use a hose clamp instead of a 13mm wrench and silicone spray on the rubber hangers instead of WD40. I love watching the builds, being a tech myself i love the technical vids. One day im gonna use all your tips to build my own jeep. Great vids as always!

[@jamessands2190]

Awesome job.Chris and Beck you made that 392 Hemi and trans swap look so easy it seemed more like you were just replacing a bad 392 with new crate engine... And seriously you both did a crazy bad butt job can't wait to see the next video with both of you Working on Beck's jeep

[@rockercover]

When working with at least one other person, the duo + can experience quite a few laugh moments; especially with parts and tools naming, (double understandings) - Assembly is another possible 😳 opportunity, (for those who understand automotive work and talk). Glad you both keep it funny, much appreciated. Thanks tons!

[@joecat101]

For those bolts you couldn't get loose there's an impact driver that's made to go on a pneumatic/air hammer. It has a handle to turn the bolt in either direction in conjugation with light to start impacts from the air hammer. Works quite well.

[@troybilt6752]

Lite Brite Garage is my favorite by far. Thank you for your time.

[@marcbee1234]

Beth's welding is breath taking(ly) impressive!!!

[@123-o8u1j]

I've done engine, transmission and drive train swaps they are no joke. Most people watching this have never even felt the weight of a wrench.

[@DownNDirty_OffRoad]

Great video, been wanting to see you doing one is these!!!😃 You and Beck made it look so simple!

[@iscarran]

I can’t say how much I appreciate cable/wiring management!!! Proper wiring can eliminate so many future failure points.

[@donwilliams3626]

Watching you separate the cab and frame is educational. Even makes a novice feel like it is a do able task. Small inexpensive moving dollies come in handy for moving t-cases and stuff around the shop. This doesn't tie up an expensive creeper for days. Thanks for sharing.

[@brunnie]

The Dynamic Duo are at it again!!! Thank you both for such an entertaining and informative video. Until next time... Wrench safe.

[@trjnsd6874]

You two are amazing! Doing a whole AMW 392 swap yourselves! Bec with the welding, Chris with the wiring corrected - great team! I would have loved to help video this process. Lucky JLUR owner. LiteBriteNationSwapsRevMakers!

[@cesarquintanilla1264]

Love seeing your builds. So cool. Love how seeing Kevin and Britney do work in there drive way to now seeing Chris and Beck. God bless take care.

[@rrr3r2]

Bec’s smile is awesome!

[@Weidjeep]

Good morning Lite Brite Nation, Much love from Montana. Hemi swap the world.

[@beeski_on_30sfinally77]

good to see a couple working together to get the job done cant argue with that at all

[@michaelmurray2592]

AMW would be proud! Great job y’all! Much love from Louisiana

[@mattmcdonough707]

Heck yea ! Chris we need to see some short vids on your wiring tips . That winch disconnect is super sweet !

[@tommypowers9695]

I have loved seein the builds that Chris and Bec have done together. Love all the light bright content. Keep up with all the great content. Was also wonderin when is another build video on Bec's jeep?

[@otter_popz8979]

Great video! Using the seatbelt to prevent the steering wheel from moving is a great hack, thanks for sharing.

[@mikeizzo1993]

Yaaaaay happy Sunday to us!

[@beauademon]

funny part is that chrysler now makes a 392 jeep wrangler rubicon but it’s way cheaper to do it this way. average cost for new 392 jeep is about $31k and a crate engine(for what i could find) is around $10k

[@PhatboyHD88]

Another great Chris Bec video as always , thanks guys 👍

[@mikefrench5844]

We just finished mine Friday. It's a beast for sure.

[@brianriley9497]

Now I understand what makes a Master Mechanic. Love to Watch you guys. Bad Ass welding too! #truetradesmen

[@trevin1691]

You Two (Beck n Chris) need to do the next King of Hammers! I see chemistry unstoppable 👍 Love these how to vids !

[@fordraven5884]

I love watching these two I learn a lot from them

[@samwatts4309]

Happy Holidays!!! Kevin, Brittany, & Chris & Becky, & to your families!!!🐊😎🍻🤙

[@jerrellesplain6010]

bec is so flipn awesome. love how you two work so well together. awesome job chris/bec

[@jeffro8373]

America's Most Wanted is the absolute best !!! Chris and Bec, love the shop videos ❤❤💯🤙

[@madjeepernh6834]

Looks like we have the same temps here in New Hampshire. Love you two turning wrenches!!! Great team!!!

[@jdsrcs8061]

Great vid. I am really liking the wrenching and fab vids. It's a great way to start Sunday morning, my daughter and I are going to be replacing motor mounts and alternator on Mama's XJ. She really likes you Bec, you have become one of her hero's!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@spartanwarriorethos]

Awesome video. I'm getting ready to do my own semi swap. This was very helpful, thank you!

[@hadjsalemhazem4464]

Chris the coolest guy on youtube , keep going Lite brite nation 😁

[@garretlewis4103]

A 392 in our Gladiator would be really cool.

[@slowcountryboy476]

Back in the day that squish nut was called a squish nut. No, no, it was really called a "Nutsert." While working on aircraft I learned to make "nut plates" that typlically have three holes usually in a line, but can be in a tryangle formation to place the nut plate in a corner. In my experience and observation, nutserts tend to be good one time. If the end of the bolt gets too dirty or rusts you must apply more torque than the squishy part of the nutsert as it can tighten/squish only so much. Then you must drill it out and the original hole of the nutsert can be damaged and unuseful especially on sheetmeatal. Usually the center hole on the nut plate is drilled and tapped for whatever fastner you wish to use. The other two holes are for rivets, most times I use 1/8 inch pop rivets as they only hold the nut plate in place and there is no need for a socket or wrench. Personally, my limbs can flex and pronate only so many ways and I rarely have someone to hold a wrench on the other side where I cannot reach. Most plates I make are from 1/4 inch steel, but can be made of aluminum and can be thicker depending on how much torque or whatever other detail you need to deal with. I made nut plates to fasten older Toyota mirrors to my truck by boring and tapping the bolt hole pattern on the nut plates and bored two 1/8 inch holes for rivets between the two bolt holes to keep the rivets out of sight. The mirrors come with gaskets that seal not only the fastening bolts, but hide and seal the rivets also. Most times I smear a coat of body seam sealer on the nut plate to seal the matting surfaces and I put some in the rivet holes for good sealing. Silicone is kinda good for that, but I would rather use Pipe Dope over silicone when I have no body seam sealer. Seam sealer and pipe dope can be clean up for a nice looking "seam" around the nut plate for a clean look that I will not be able to see from my house, but a real Marine will always know he left a good seal with a professional looking finish. Remenber to paint the nut plates to prevent rust. I typically use "rattle can" paint-primer to speed up my work. I yield back the soap box...

[@stuartwilson5634]

I just so love Chris and Bec builds and workshop time. Freaking awesome team, love your work.😊🎉😂❤😊😂🎉❤

[@richsmith3120]

Chris and Bec Rock! Happy Trails to you all!

[@theburtseoni]

I love these Bec and Chris builds! Why not drop one of those new 392's in Bec's Jeep? If Bec's Jeep is built to the max, it would be a great advertising project? Keep up the good work!!

[@millstonejeepworx]

I so want to do a 392 swap on my 2020 JT. AMW's conversion is really top notch.

[@thebigbail]

This is a great channel. I really enjoy the variety of stuff you guys put out.

[@donmcneal233]

Hey kids! Always great to see the goings on in Lite Brite Day Care w/ Chris & Beck entertaining us via smooth /smart / skilled work. I'm surprised though. There's the lift; but garage is minus a, "cherry picker"... . You're going to need it when the really bad snows hit & the forklift will cram the garage space... . Well, something to consider..., okay? So now on to (patient(?) Brittany's Corvette? Otherwise as always..., be safe out there &... America First! 🚙👍

[@Garage_Speed]

Have a picker. Just harder to deal with in the shop, fork is faster for sure. 😁

[@adidas4275]

Love the install! Wish AMW setup was CARB legal. Awesome to see most of the work it takes to do it.

[@johnfurbee8452]

"The body from the 'Chassidy'....."🤣😅

[@JasonWh]

Keep rocking it middriff!! I think you could lift that engine on your own btw. NEVER MISS LEG DAY!

[@mysurvivalisland]

Wow the seatbelt thing is a huge help

[@johncallas1224]

love seeing the 32 in the back ground

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953]

Wait you skipped the induction heating the body bolts to cook the lock tite off before removing or you snap them off

[@StormbornJKU]

I’m wanting to put a 5.7 in my 2010 JKU, and I planned on doing it myself, mostly to save money but also to learn. I’ll have to get in touch with you guys though and possibly have you guys do it. At least want to discuss some things. It’s not going to happen for around a year or so, but it’s gonna happen! Lol

[@KansasSlim64]

I was just wondering while watching this if AMW has kits for JKU’s, too. I wonder if they could make it work with the manual?

[@StormbornJKU]

@@KansasSlim64 look on their website. They 100% have kits for the JKU. If they’ll work with a manual that I am not sure of.

[@evintacy7272]

Yes I can watch Chris all day freaking great Mechanic!! Go Chris Bec you are awesome!! Great team!! You all need a body shop on that place and guy like me work his butt off ,,paint some beautiful jeeps !!😊

[@keithheinemann]

Would love to have that in my 2018 JL. Nice work!

[@dob1662]

Yes without doubt my kind of people, Chris and Bec's your a brilliant team, Brittany did you have to steal it ?? 🤣😆🤣😂

[@kenmarapese9085]

I dig these vids, keep them coming!

[@Xasukis]

Amazing job looks so clean

[@MichaelBrown-um8qc]

Fabulous jeep journey & transition .🥂🏁🥂🏁. One hell of a fashion bug thriller👀. Good for 150000miles. Another life time treasure for some one 🏁

[@jeffwoodward5302]

I enjoy watching the builds also more Bec and Chris please

[@GevoA1]

I might be late on this but, regarding the fox 3.0 shocks. The specs are wrong! Those are 2-3" lift height (actually want 3.5" springs with these). However, the body is the same as the 3.5-4 5" lift version. You can have fox rebuild them into the longer version while you have a rebuild done. Personally though, I'd go with different shocks altogether

[@ddrod1]

Cliffhanger on the B5 S4 🤣🤣 I've got an '01 love it!

[@johnbell2713]

love the break line tips .

[@LTUSATV]

Dam Chris, you and Bec make everything look easy peasy lemon squeezey. I almost think it's time for y'all to put up an even bigger shop! Funny that white JL looks just like the white AMW JL my buddy has Kevin has (see my vids). When can you guys work on my rig?

[@jerryhaverstick5259]

I like your tip with the e brake cable but thought you could use a line wrench and not have to butcher a good wrench.

[@Garage_Speed]

Line wrench won’t get all 3 prongs, I don’t think. And it’s not butchering a tool if you create a new one. I use that wrench a ton. Axle swaps, engine swaps, truss kit jobs, its a great addition to the box, and works amazballz

When does the forklift get some love with a custom paint job and graphics?

[@rickyn1858]

LMFAO!! Brit was not happy with you!!! amazing job as always and top notch work from the both of you!!!!

[@gwood69]

Y’all should get a gantry for these replacements and since it’s on wheels and they’re adjustable you could use it for all sorts of junk and stow it away nicely some of them are pretty reasonably priced800-1200 if my shop was big enough I’d use it for everything bumpers puttin on tires taking off hardtops basically anything that requires lifting 😂 Also diggin the stache

[@TheJoshrug]

I got to know who's sequoia is always lurking in the background?......love those tanks.

[@LiteBrite]

Used to be mine and Kevin’s, then we gave it to my mom.

[@TheJoshrug]

@@LiteBrite haha awesome. And there's undoubtedly probably a quarter million miles on it!

[@lonniet.2816]

HELL OF A NICE JOB!!

[@billwaterhouse5894]

The outtakes...lol...Coffee just shot out of my mouth hahaha

[@leighroberts964]

Thanks!

[@alonewolf9768]

Kind of curious how much would this setup cost I guess the only problem is finding a 392 with the market right now.

[@tumbleweedking5668]

Wish You guys could convert my jl 2 dr from 6 speed manual to 8 auto with that transmission. Great work.

[@mysurvivalisland]

I love Bec & Chris

[@augieb7470]

Hi Chris and Bec. I’m an avid fan of litebrite and am amazed at your mechanical ability. I used to do what you do but we are retired now and I’m kinda out of the loop. We have two JK’a both Rubis one is 2 dr and mine is an unlimited with about 60 k on it. We don’t do extreme off-road but we do use our Jeeps to get out back. I’m changing the oil filter housing this next week and while under there trying to figure out where the oil was coming from, I noticed a leaky shock. I know you guys are Bilstein Advocates and so am I. Have them on our Newmar class A and my truck. I’m having some trouble deciding which ones would fit my needs on the ‘14JKU. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Neither are lifted and we are not rich. 😂

[@brentm3]

I started watching this video in 2022 and finished in 1979 thanks to that ‘stache.

[@bigmiksworld59728]

Great job. Typically how much would this cost a customer?

[@Richard-xv7yf]

Wanted to get a 4runner or a wrangler but I'll almost certainly get the 4runner cause u just know if I get the jeep I'm going to spend all my money customizing it. Just too tempting.

[@EdgarSanchez-nd3pq]

We need more of this

[@frankbailey1733]

Thought that was for Beck's jeep at first, was like heck yeah.

[@Arthagnou]

I wanna do my 2019 2dr Wrangler with a 5.7 and 6 speed manual. 6.4 would just have toooo much power for that small wheelbase.

[@OhDearBabajan]

What else needs to be changed after the swap? Any components that don't come with the kit?

[@jerrellesplain6010]

i was all waiting excitedly i might add for the test drive but nothing lol. still was a good vid

[@williamlind2843]

This is awesome! But how do I get this in my 86' Wagoneer and pass smog?? Oh, I'm in Commiefornia.

[@willardgreenfield650]

For that seized skid plate fastener, a large nut over the head, weld the inside of the nut to the seized fastener head...

[@edcrise5363]

Where are you guys located and I just got done watching your video on 392 hemi swap to JLUR Wrangler where are you located and how much is this cost? I have a 2018 JL four-door with a 3.6 L and an eight speed auto transmission.

[@mysurvivalisland]

You rock Chris

[@skiahh]

How does someone get in touch with you to have you guys do some work? Want to lift a TJ but I don't have the equipment to do the SYE, so thinking about just having someone do the whole project. Watching your work on these projects, it's pretty easy to trust having you guys do it!

[@michaelcanto6175]

Nice work you guys!

[@duk1776]

Is it possible to do the swap without removing the body? Or just not enough clearance?

[@Tanner731]

sorta feel like this swap should just put a planetary doubler between the trans and tcase that way you dont need to take apart the stock tcase but then would need different driveshafts so maybe not a great solution

[@traviskorda3262]

Is a swap like this cost effective compared to getting a factory 392? Obviously there's not enough of those to go around but theoretically if u could get one for MSRP

[@ruvinicon]

What gas do you use for welding? Those welds are very good. Cheers

[@Garage_Speed]

C-25 mix.

[@mikehancho138]

Another great video! Keep them coming please!

[@Overkill_Offroad]

If I wanted you to install a 426 Hemi in my JK, how would I go about making that happen?

Chris & Beck are a great team/ couple
