CHEATING DEATH & BROKEN JEEPS - Off Roading in Moab!

[@bullittdog4352]

Ok..the stock wheelbase TJ and the YJ are the stars of this video…nether were skeerd!

[@LiteBrite]

Ya they absolutely killed it!!

[@SWALLDOG]

I was thinking the same thing. Everyone else was being sissy’s. Lol 😂

[@vinceimp9581]

33:20 thats the kind of popping up a ledge that you think back on when your wondering why there's a new noise or broken part.. amazing none the less

[@TrailTime.]

0:16 haha. The first annual, big tire garage, TV KZbinr influencer selfie stick android iPhone Moab Trail extravaganza ride. Yeahhhh!!!!

💜❤ Very cool! Great seeing ya'all on the trail! Thanks for adding that lil clip of me at the beginning!! 🤘😁 I'm Stoked!!

[@HazardSports]

Step 1 : always clear all codes! Glad you got it sorted out and it didn’t ruin your day.

[@richsmith3120]

Looks like a lot of fun. Awsome coverage and editing as usual Brittany. Keep up the good work. Happy Trails to you both.

[@Kyle_osisek]

Just want to say thank you for not over exaggerating the steepness of some of these trails…. Have seen some videos (not from yall), where they angle the camera to make it look even worse than they already are. Great video. Come on out to AOAA for some fun!!

[@GarageGeek]

I did Pritchett this year and the obstacles are way steeper IRL than on camera. Glad I was with an experienced group.

[@Kyle_osisek]

@@GarageGeek I’m not saying they aren’t steep, I’ve just seen videos where people make them look almost vertical and you can clearly see people standing straight up on the side of the obstacle that’s being portrayed as steeper than it actually is. I’ve noticed lite brite doesn’t do that, and they show the true steepness of the obstacles.

[@LiteBrite]

I do my best to capture the angle of the obstacle without over exaggerated it. ☺️

[@Poizdrc]

This is a huge problem is RC rock crawling too angled cameras to exaggerate the angle. Im also glad this channel doesnt do that.

[@StormbornJKU]

Sick jeeps in that ride. All the best “influencers”.

[@jeffro8373]

Amazing edit Brittany!!That looks so fun. I still can't get over that paint job. Hope you guys are having a amazing day ❤️❤️💯🤙

That other red jeep was oddly similar.

Ian is Mr Fixit. Brittany is master spotter. Always enjoyed Pritchett canyon.

[@trjnsd6874]

37th: late again. What a great trail title and beginning! Fantastically beautiful area, unless one prefers trees. I hate electrical shifter and throttles and e-brakes! Go mechanical! The best: “This morning it said Check Engine, so I looked and it was there..” Hilarious! Nice to have an “Ian” when you don’t have a “Chris”! Amazing climbing and good humor. LiteBriteNationLaughsThroughMoab!

[@davidjohnson3977]

Great video. That was a good mix of rigs. Good mix of great people also. Funny the E-Brake indicator light seemed to be on the whole time also. Again, great video.

[@LiteBrite]

That’s because we have all of the nannies shut off (something you should always do in a JL when off roading). 🤙

[@MikeCurtis7663]

As for all the lights and the communication engine codes, check the green CAN bus behind the glove box. Had something very similar happen to me with my 2018 JL. Replacing the CAN BUS fixed it.

[@LiteBrite]

We got it all fixed up!

[@madmikescustoms]

God bless lite Brite Nation

3:34 if it wasn’t the RCV rig I’d say that sounded like a snap!!

[@adrianw3985]

I go to Moab fairly often. I stay more towards the mild side. Crazy and stupid can be contagious... be safe people. Parts cost a lot of money.

Ian Johnson! , that's pretty bad ass to hang out with a tv personality/gear head

[@Atrain81]

I have never owned an automatic Jeep. I had the pleasure of renting a fully built JK in Sedona AZ for wheeling that was Automatic. It was very different than what I am use too. I wonder if these trails could even be done in manual tranny!? Do you guys ever come across other Jeep enthusiasts doing the level of trails you guys do with manual transmissions?? Just curious. I know the clutch would certainly take a beating. Although sometimes it is nice to have the clutch pedal for bouncing over or navigating certain obstacles.

[@user-zx9qi9hx6c]

Trailmater does it with a manual in his wrecker !!

[@SWALLDOG]

34:11 “Hard line only” ?? When did that happen? Pretty sure Kevin didn’t even attempt rock pile! Haha 🤣 😂

Uh, there are a ton of videos of her driving the Stepchild and her buggy. Where have you been?

[@LiteBrite]

There’s plenty of videos of me driving my Side Chick and my drift cars. 🥰 And there will be more to come! Now that the Stepchild is finally back up and running again, we’re just pumped to get it back on the trails (and I actually don’t enjoy driving the Stepchild as much as my buggy 😅)

[@timmcooper294]

Fun video of my favorite Moab trail for the last 25 years. Just did it again this EJS in a much smaller rig than I had in the past. I almost feel like I had an advantage over the bigger rigs in my tiny rig (31" pizza cutters and 89" wheel base on stock leaf springs) Two in our tiny rig group drove chewy hill clean (the other two fussed a bit like most of yours but drove up), and two drove straight up the stair case at Rocker knocker, much to the surprise of the linked 40" tire crowd. There is no perfect size rig for Moab... They all have fun !!

[@LiteBrite]

Definitely a blast. All you need to do is bring a good attitude and good friends!

[@timreynolds2935]

OK Kevin, I've been watching your channel for a minute and created my own "stepchild" along the way. I dropped a 426 right after I watched your YT video. When you installed a 392 steering wheel, I had one installed so I could have paddle shifters too. After your Antigravity video, you get it, I bought one. Anyway, after watching this video it was interesting to me that I have all the same messages on my dash. I guess I'll try to clear all codes and hopefully get rid of service 4 wheel Dr, auto park disabled and hangs in gear. My work around has been my paddle shifters. Any more information on what you did or what might make those 426 gremlins disappear, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks Kevin and Brit

[@5183p]

I love MOAB. And I’m in MOAB

[@kevinwilliams6835]

Happy birthday Brittney 💚💜

[@LiteBrite]

Thank youuuu! 🥳🎉

[@ellienovelli3425]

We had the same thing happen to us 3 times when in low gear. Did a shift on its own while in manual and then all the alarms on the Jeep went off. Auto park not available, 4wd not available, service, sway bar disconnect not available etc and could only go into 2nd in manual, said 3rd not available. Lots of TCM, BCM, PCM and ECM errors when we ran the codes. Some said unexpected error. Cleared them and then it would be fine for a few months, then do it again. All the modules are fine. When you shift into Low transfer case it sends communication to PCM that you are in low, which sends a signal to the TCM, if it has a slight brain fart your error will occur. We changed out the Can Bus and have not had the issue again (yet?) The Can Bus communicates with all the different modules on the Jeep and there are a ton of them. One little glitch and all the systems lose their minds. Change your Can Bus and ALWAYS clear your codes if you have any when you run your reader. You can also disconnect the main battery for a 1/2 hour and that has also worked for us. This issue was the main reason we bought a code reader that would clear codes. We also checked for all software upgrades for these modules and the upgrades available did not reference any of the codes we received so did not do any software upgrades.

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@fabricioarrendazi3133]

Excelentes maquilas y video! Saludos desde Patagonia!

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

The 392 has a system sort of like my Cherokee Trailhawk. To be honest with you I think a V8 swapped regular Wrangler is probably a better setup in terms of durability. I would say get a 392 if someone is going to leave it stock (which sounds completely the opposite to what people would want but I think that's the truth).

[@tomasrosturrognvaldsson9932]

Great video

[@NomadicHooker]

Being able to hold into a gear is huge crawling. It's not only about your wheel speed you mention Kevin. Not only is the wheel speed going change, but when you go into that taller or higher gear, you're also losing power or torque multiplicaton to the wheels on the ground and that can be very bad also. Of course, you're likely to be able to overcome that power loss with the hemi, but those guys with the 6 cylinders, they need all the torque they can get and can't afford to lose any.

[@lloydratzlaff1551]

I happened to notice every light on the dash on.. I’m assuming it’s the traction control delete switch or programer but I’ve been wondering when all the mods are gonna start causing other grimlins to show up myself…love watching the LJ just walk up stuff longer or shorter wheelbases don’t like at all!

[@LiteBrite]

That’s from intentionally turning off the traction and similar Nannie’s completely (should always be done when off roading)

[@slowcountryboy476]

I clear my BCM every morning at about 10 or 11 am! As for my CJ5 (named BULLITT), when I lock or shift something in or out it stays there until I decide otherwise. I am the control module!! 🙂

[@LiteBrite]

Hahaha. I bet you do

[@rayat895]

The red Jeep at 20:37, was it painted by the same guy that did the Step Child? Very similar looking style.

[@LiteBrite]

Yeah same guy

[@rcmike09]

Watching the flex, rollover jeepster go up the rock ledge, and then you guys go up. Stepchild pulls a tire, while the jeepster didn't even come close.

[@LiteBrite]

Different line. Kevin drove with his back left tire in the hole while jeepster kept it completely out of the hole which makes the difference you see in the video. Go back and watch closely

[@jackcmajor7332]

Check the harness under the shift level.

[@defendfreedom]

The computer is in control, not you Kevin! Like when we couldn't make it up a snowy hill because my dad's renegade locked out 4wd because the fuel door gasket was bad.

Ya know, for as beefed up as "Stepchild" is it sure seems to struggle even on the easiest of obstacles compared to the rest of the rigs. Must be reeeeeeeeally heavy.

[@raysloan792]

That's alot of warning lights😮

[@joevandervloedt7156]

what are the specs on the SC lift/tires/wheels now?

[@everythingmotorsports8787]

Anyone else think the stepchild looked like it had better crawling manners with the previous suspension? Maybe the 16 inch coil overs are too much? Or maybe if the ride height was taken down a couple inches it wouldn’t try to pushed the axles under the jeep and lift tires? Other jeeps on this ride were better planted with coil spring and shocks…

[@LiteBrite]

Other jeeps on this trail wouldn’t be able to keep up in high speed desert. The Coilovers aren’t built solely for rock crawling and flex. The stepchild has been built to do everything and there is no way to set up a vehicle to do everything perfectly. You have some give and take. There isn’t a rock obstacle that the stepchild can’t do no matter how it accomplishes it but it can also do what many others simply can’t. This was designed to be a Swiss Army knife or a jack of all trades if you will. It’s planted and predictable in everything it does.

[@everythingmotorsports8787]

@@LiteBrite very true. Stepchild is a animal with the high speed stuff. I forget about high speed stuff in jeeps. I usually leave that to my rzr and my jku is the dedicated family crawler. It can be hard to have something setup perfectly for every situation.

[@LiteBrite]

Exactly! We’re hoping to concoct a way to add a suck down winch to the front in the near future, to combat the front being able to unload so much (which is fantastic for high speeds, but not the best for keeping a lower center of gravity on steep climbs). For now, though, it’s very predictable and just walks through nearly everything. More wheeling videos to come!

[@TRMFAM]

Great video! Which wheel offset are you running? 0, -20 or -38? I see the 0 offset on BB site but not Northridge.
