Jeep JL vs Jeep LJ - Off Road & in a Wreck!

[@jeffro8373]

Cancer sucks!!!! My wife and I were married just out of high school, 25 years ago. My wife was misdiagnosed having lymphoma a type of cancer that the Doctors said was very treatable in January to having stage 3 lung cancer in July... She was supposed to have the lower chamber of her lung removed. When the Doctor was checking the arteries he needed to move he found tumors growing on the arteries so he couldn't remove the lower chamber. He also discovered a new tumor that had been growing in her lung and was now attached to all three chambers. A 3 hr surgery turned into 19 hrs and she crashed 3 different times during the surgery. It's been a very rough year. She actually had her final radiation and chemo treatments last week!! Brittany your Uncle's video, he said some things that really hit home with me. I realized I had to change my life around. And you guys have been such a big influence and I truly appreciate you so very much!!! Much love and respect ❤️❤️💯🤙

[@LiteBrite]

❤️❤️❤️ We’re so happy to here she’s still fighting! What a fuckin’ champ.

[@trjnsd6874]

StepChild is so Sick! DirtTherapy is so Healthy! Y’always find the inspiring ones. Nice of you to help out TrailHero. Having fun while working. Nice editing too. Some of those climbs got me off camber just watching! LiteBriteNationSignsTheTrails!

[@rockercover]

20:57 What a living life motto. Thanks for sharing.

[@garretlewis4103]

All of our days our numbered and none of us know when our last day will be. You guys are correct. Live life to the fullest. With faith in God you can overcome fear.

[@johnperun232]

Watching the suspension work seems so much better than what you were experiencing before, Chris did a awesome Great job of course with your funds, Thanx for Sharing your experience with us Have a Great Day 👍 God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

[@angushoover8670]

AWESOME story about Sean. I HATE cancer, lost my parents and my wife to it. Prayers for you all.

[@alraybaca6235]

Love the stance of the Stepchild. Stepchild is one freaking awesome machine

[@LAKERS4LIFE247]

Awesome video!! Amazing trail and great ending. Thanks for the wonderful episode.

[@michaeldurling793]

You guy's are getting so dialed in both in skill and equipment. It's nice to see Kevin master the obstacle without going full gonzo. Britt I love the hat! Thank you both for giving me what I will never experience in this life. I guess dirt therapy is real.

[@scottkailey1]

Great video and a great friend you have there, can't wait to see his finished build!

[@pennypackmtb2542]

Wait a minute.... OK, I'm buckled into my Lazzy-Boy and ready to watch. I do remember the rear-ending. Shawn does live up to the Hard Core Dirt Therapy life. As a cancer survivor myself, I do understand the "Live Life To It's Fullest". Wow great video with some true hardcore crawling and Meaningful life stories. Your Step-child has been so good to you guys. You must be so proud.

[@gregcooper2739]

Step Child is wicked and you guys are the best always a feel good watching you two!! Thank-You!

[@MrBillsfishin]

Great video as always. Thank you so much. Lots of medical issues that will never go away but building my 73 K20 and will be out there at some point. Never at your level because my budget just isn't there but will be in the dirt again.

[@da443-galmond4]

Stepchild is sic. Chris is awesome to make Kevin's dream of a Jack of All Trades vehicle keeps getting closer and closer with each mod. And with the tweaks getting sic'r. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffcombs8237]

Stepchild don't need no induction. Beast as is! Chris's exhaust and that big bore stroker is a rock concert!!!

[@bullittdog4352]

It awesome seeing that anti-squat getting dialed out..seems crazy how lightly sprung it is but still in control. Theres gotta be a trophy truck in the LB future..Kevin never misses an opportunity to do his Bryce Menzies imitation.

[@LTUSATV]

Been following Sean for some time on IG and love his content and happy he beat the C word. My mom and sister both beat breast cancer, but then my mom passed away from stage three larynx cancer five months after my dad passed from the cancer. Keep living to the fullest all of you... and F*ck Cancer!

[@LiteBrite]

We’re so sorry for your losses. ❤️

[@JadenMaru]

Kevin around 14:37, "...so which way do i go now?" i think you're proving in the Stepchild..... which ever way you want to!! LoL!!

[@neilkirkes]

That outro though! Sick!

[@jasonwernli422]

The Dirt Therapy LJ is one of my favorite Jeeps out there!

[@TonyDMan67]

I'm not an Off-road person, but I like to see what aspects that we use for track purposes also are used for Off-road. Keep up the great work.

[@johnnychun59]

I'm a cancer survivor too. Twelve years now. And I just bought an 05 LJ in order to get out and have fun, like you guys said. But my LJ is not "sick". 😂 It's only on 31s, but I'm enjoying it.

[@genedwg6689]

Great advice from Dirt Therapy. I heartily agree after my head injury 2 plus years ago.

[@joshodell6703]

Buying my first jeep later this month. Unsure how they are in the winter but can't wait. My son has autism and he loves birdwatching. We spend half the time off in a ditch exploring. We went to the jeep dealship in our Chevy and he picked it. Haha gonna lift it obviously haha bigger tires as well. I test drove it and took it on an off road adventure she handled it well. I'm excited to drop the pickup and get something better.

[@krawlerkingdom]

I’ve never gone up to say hi but I have been impressed with how available and among the people you are at events. Saw you multiple times a trail hero chopping it up with people

[@cesarquintanilla1264]

Very cool love see all you do. Inspired so much.

[@RanchoTexano]

Great people, great stories, great memories!

[@rockstarnrg4me]

Now that rs1.5 makes more sense when I saw it at the Yukon kickoff and saw you guys around it haha! Great video as always! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@ashwilliams93]

That last obstacle was so sick! I was like, "Holy #@&!" right about the same time Brittany swore.

[@CJLane-62]

Another video down, still playing catch up, and another Great Video 👍🇺🇸🍻😎

[@predkivlog]

Kev, Brit I absolutely Love y'all's videos.. As for Shawn, I have huge respect for him. I can relate because I know what he went through mentally and physically. You really have to be a tough cookie as he is.. I myself got diagnosed with "ALL" Leukemia in 2021 and I've been on chemo since then 🥹. I have to be on treatments until November of 2024 and maybe sometime after that I can finish my build and meet up with you guys somewhere. Y'all's rigs are beautiful and I'm still yet to go to Utah, that is my dream one day.. I'm a fellow jeeper as well with a nicely built JK but i need to install my new motor. Unfortunately my plans are put on hold. I already got a new LT V8 and 8 speed transmission sitting on the floor but the swap kits are not cheap and my bills are not stopping. Cheers guys.. thank you for the amazing vids !! D from Houston

[@StormbornJKU]

Always love your guys videos. Been following since the begging and will be following for many years to come!!!

[@richsmith3120]

A very good video Brittany. Happy Trails to all at LBN!

[@irisho1184]

Can you tell me what side your new Can AM Maverick R fuel fill is? Driver or Passenger? Is there a video on your new rig coming? THANKS...IRISH

[@lyndonhamby7432]

The sounds of a Hemi 👍💪🏻🇺🇸

[@JohnSmith-sh1zg]

Funny I took pics of that RS1 at the Trail Hero event. Got to be a last out here at Sand Hollow.

[@Monarch15w]

Love the new ride…I would like to see you hook up with Matt from MORR and try the shoot run. Love to see it battle Jefe in his bronco going out of the shoot.

[@RSB1726]

Well you guys have truly built a tank but is road ready to, that is truly the best of both worlds. I agree with Dirt Therapy, what ever in this world gives you inspiration then go for it. Love the channel.

[@eeassa]

Glad to see you guys wheeling again.

[@LiteBrite]

We’ve been wheeling all summer! Lots of videos. 😁

[@exploringwithJim]

Whoa, your buddy is such an inspiration.

[@clintdyson5765]

Utv crawler!! Been waiting. How freaking cool!

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@ssmith6059]

I have to go with the LJ on this one. I am an old school Jeep guy; real Jeep's only have two doors! Great video and the Stepchild is a mean Jeep!

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

Great video thanks

[@fanof03always]

Amen...I am saving for a Toyota or a jeep..I will be wheeling with you guys soon..2yrs minimum

[@marvellousmarvin]

You have the best off road vehicle 👍

[@niclucca7104]

I knew I’d seen that rig on the rubicon.

[@rockyp544]

I want that gas can bracket so bad for my Jeep. Is that something you sell on your site?

[@guitarman864]

That lj is so smooth!

[@timf6916]

Nice run

[@michaelhalstead64]

Can’t wait to see the sema updates!!!

[@pattyariss007]

Great video ❤

[@timmayer8041]

It would be awesome to see you guys take the step child out to Johnson Valley, and run all the same lines you ran in KOH

[@LiteBrite]

We wheeled the Stepchild in Johnson Valley (and done several Hammer trails, including climbing the Backdoor)

[@tylerbuhite5432]

This is why Kev and Britt still to this day inspire me to just do it NOW!

[@wildwoody20]

I have a question on your fenders.Y'all could have done any aftermarket fenders and y'all did the fender chop where you split it and put the light kit on. Did y'all not want to do or did y'all not like any of the aftermarket fenders I'm trying to decide if I'm going to put it some of the aftermarket fenders on or do the light shop like y'all did where you split the Rubicon did y'all not want to do any of the aftermarket fenders You didn't like them or what made y'all decide to just keep the fender and split it and put the light kit on? Trying to decide which one I want to do The chop like y'all did or and aftermarket fender they're so expensive most of the aftermarkets ones

[@LiteBrite]

We didn’t like any of the ones out but next venture motorsports just came out with the best aluminum fenders for the JL. they still have a light in them so they look great

[@wildwoody20]

@@LiteBrite That's the same problem I have I looked at the road armor and metal cloak and they are just so expensive not to mention they mount lower like one 2 in lower You know what I mean If you look at the factor ones they mount almost where the hood is and the other ones are like amounted an inch lower which gives you less wheel well and I don't like them either. I looked for ones that you're talking about but I can't find them. I guess I'll do the chop also The Road armor ones are nice that they're steel but they're way too flat. I just can't see spending 3,500 to $4,000 for fenders aftermarket ones with labor and inner fenders That's just a lot of money for cosmetic looks. I mean they do give some protection but with this deal ones if you hit the rock hard like y'all do they'll put it in the Jeep because a friend of mine had the metal club ones and he put a dent in the body of his Jeep on the rear. Late those plastic ones you break clips that's it lol Thank you for replying

[@wildwoody20]

@@LiteBrite also I did not want to lose the running light. So many of them don't have the big running light like the factory one has

[@nickbible1134]

That first clip I thought Kevin was gonna blow up but you didn't good job keeping your cool

[@bigbrownmab189]

Not sure if spelled right or not, but your friend Brie is absolutely gorgeous!

[@Rayankady]

Such a beautiful video🥲

[@randyin]

I bought my Gladiator because of my throat cancer. It was and still is great therapy.

[@markcargile]

Someday when my LJ grows up, it wants to be just like that one!

[@garrymatthews4430]

Man ooo man what angle was that it looked way over the norm

[@blackbeard3674]

Goddamn that stepchild is an absolute beast, and that LJ is pretty cool too 😎

[@christopherwebb6133]

Sean is an awesome dude...

[@RobertKohut]

Looks like the suspension is working really well...🙂Did you lose somebody on the trail? (she is not in the ending)

[@LiteBrite]

She generally avoids being on camera. 😅

[@raystevens687]

The power of the Hemi does it again.

[@jjtjjt3442]

About that V notch. Had all the air out of the spare and when it hit bent the whole tailgate on the JL.Replaced the tailgate and still doesn’t shut perfect. Ha. Other than that I just remove the spare on level 7 or higher

[@JohnSmith-sh1zg]

Someone may clean but not very thorough. Found 4 nails on the trail that were used to mount those banners. 🤦‍♂️ Resurrection trail to be exact.

[@roytiller4537]

I can hardly wait to see what the Step Childs new look will look like once you put up the video after SEMA. I always liked the Demon childs wrap better but I know Step Child's new wrap will blow that away.

[@freebiecaptbert]

Hey, are you guys going to the Legends of Fall - Ultra 4, 3-day city take over festival in Lake Havasu. Kev sure seems like a Brett Michael's kinda guy. Lol. I kidd. Should be a pretty big thing here. Only 4 hours for ya to join in. Maybe less in the step child. Hehe.

[@LiteBrite]

We’d love to but we have to get the stepchild ready for sema

[@KenLyns]

Can probably rig up two parking brake levers to independently brake each rear wheel. Seen Tacomas with this mod.

[@guitarman864]

Dirt late models have a brake system that let's them add more or less brake in each wheel , wonder how that would work on a crawler?

[@NoName-OG1]

Guys… Shooting (permanent powder actuated) pins in rock - followed by we clean up after…. At least the sign didn’t say leave no trace… Who’s pulling those out with a giant divot?!? Us peeps in the climbing community would get hung for showing something like that. Where bolts in that area need to be dirt colored and replaceable - and in some places go through a committee for placement. Most of that signage could go down with sand bags… No rock damage…

[@PaulBrown-v9u]

please get a cage fitted in the stepchild asap. keep up the great work

[@ewc19821]

Do you feel the LJ wheelbase was better or worse compared to yours?

[@LiteBrite]

Totally depends on the obstacle!

[@ewc19821]

@LiteBrite well that doesn't help lol. I really want an LJ Rbicon but they are damn near impossible to find in my price range. 😕 So I've looked at some JKU Rubicons and am torn.

[@justicenotobedience4176]

At 13;15min just wow.

[@bobsedlacek2191]

Enjoy life for sure.

[@abqcrutch]

Living your best lives!

[@dirtyfingersgarage]

funny how you were talking about wheeling in the rocks with a spare on the back and how you can damage the tail gate. I make a "Spare Skid" that plugs into your receiver hitch and totally stops that from happening. If your doing a long trail and need a spare and need room in the back for your gear its the only solution that works. Just sayin...

[@jefferyadams3227]

What tires is Sean running?

[@LiteBrite]

Same as us. Nitto trail grappler 40s

Thank you Brittany and Kevin, this is by far the best video you guys have made. Fuck cancer. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with lymphoma of my lymph nodes. I'm still here fighting my battle with cancer, but I'm glad to hear that someone else has won that fight. Lite Brite Nation for the win guys. Still waiting for Kevin to finally get his trophy truck 🙏🙏🙏. Awesome video guys. Always live your life to the fullest.

Do you think maybe you guys could switch out your mirrored sunglasses for some without mirrors? It's a little unnerving to not be able to see people's eyes.

[@mercycarpetcleaning9403]

All I could hear was Kevin throwing blame on someone else. If you rear end someone on the road your at fault. You say he cut you off maybe don’t be bombing through the dunes following so close. JS. Don’t blame someone else for you not able to get your Jeep stopped.
