Building a Custom Jeep CJ on 43" Tires!

The Daycare Center (aka the Lite Brite Garage) gets to work on two massive and custom off road builds simultaneously! One is an old Jeep Wrangler CJ running on 43" tires, and the other is that mysterious orange rock bouncer (that's really isn't a rock bouncer) that's been seen around the shop multiple times! Lots of custom work and fabrication to get these to rigs ready for some rock crawling and 4x4 fun!

Another great Daycare video. Thanks for being such awesome members of the LiteBrite team. So much fun to watch you all work. 😊 That moment: When Bec realizes that she is about to roll off that tire... That "Awesome, caught by surprise" "Oopps, this might be bad" "Save me, Chris?" GRIN. 😲 Priceless!

[@rickyrudd7647]

Bec is that mischievous little sister. Most of us know what I mean. You could tell that she was trying to distract Chris with that squishy noise the tire was making. And it worked as Chris had trouble pronouncing, Subscribe. Too funny.

[@donmcneal233]

Chris & Bec..., you kids work well together. Keep up the good work, but waiting to see Bec's jeep when done... Be safe out there... America First!

[@Seb_Semos]

I feel Chris should do an education video on how to wire properly, like what tool to use, what connector tip to get proper wire lenght and so on. Could be very helpfull for a lot of people :)

[@mrmotofy]

I made a basic how to wire stuff and describe the charging system operation in multiple vids.

[@Minnesota_Vance]

I could watch you guys build all day. The magic of video editing makes it all look so easy and Chris and Bec's narration is nice and simple and makes it easy to follow. You guys are doing an awesome job and I wish I had a shop like yours near me. ❤️

[@trjnsd6874]

Welcome back Bec & Chris! More fun and games in DayCare! For someone who says they hate wiring you sure are good at it. Takes patience and perseverance to snake all those wires. The CJ is going to be Nuts, and the roll cage etc on the rockwhatever looks nuts too! Axles to grind, lots of things to blast and paint - so much fun! LiteBriteNationChickensAndSnakesGalore!

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

Chirs you are a mad genius on that wiring omg 😲 👏

[@Weidjeep]

Chris+ Wiring= Hero.

[@bullittdog4352]

I can relate to the wiring hatred ..only difference is I suck at it and Chris does clean work! That CJ is badass for sure , I’m eager to see it with seats and cage.

[@michaelmurray2592]

Love these build videos with Chris and Bec!!! Almost as much as the wheeling videos with Kevin and Britt. So the combination of the 4 of you makes for some freaking fantastic material to watch!!!! I love all you guys and gals you all just warm my heart completely. Much love from Louisiana

[@richsmith3120]

Huge builds! Keep pressing on Chris and Bec! Happy Trails to all of you!

[@markzimmerman9576]

Chris & Bec, you guys are always so awesome to watch. Very talented and innovative.

[@mikef9011]

I love watching Chris do wiring. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who hates wiring and goes full OCD on making harnesses. He makes me feel normal. Awesome stuff.

[@toddbertram6556]

He wasn't welding. No jacket needed for a simple plasma session. Will be nice to see this rig on the rocks, hopefully it will get some screen time

[@johnpurtell1142]

Becky looking fit as usual😊😊

[@someonewhocares5712]

Thanks for sharing again

[@mccoymrm]

These two kick some serious ass!

[@davidblalock9945]

My suggestion for the grab bar, powder coat it black, then tie an orange paracord grip on it.

[@joshuawhittred-eo6kn]

My ocd was happy you fixed that firewall. Lol. Thanks Chris, can't believe that's how it came back after getting painted.🤯

[@dainwilson4523]

Hey Chris, you put the tailgate hinges on upside down. The hing part should be lower than the break between the gate and the tub. That way it is flat when opened. Just an FYi

[@gwood69]

Chris I feel your pain. It’s the OCD perfectionist in us that makes us hate certain jobs because we know we take pride in what we do so we’re not gonna half ass it and it’ll take forever and you just dread it taking forever and the mental capacity to think everything through to make sure it’s up to your standards. Instead of the “I can’t see it from my house” mentality. I hate even thinking about starting certain jobs because I know I have to try and turn water into wine because I’m a perfectionist 😂

[@pennypackmtb2542]

Nice Rebuilds. I really like the thoroughness of the work Chris and Beck do, at the Lite Brite Day Care. It's like an Art Studio, where vehicles become your works of art. Very enjoyable. Sorry I missed you all when you were out east, in my neck of the woods, but as luck had it, I finally came down with a brutal case of Covid. Luckily the VA Hospital in Philadelphia is one of the best. Maybe, one day when I finish my driveway jeep build, I'll join you all on the trail. Just a pre warning.

[@LiteBrite]

Hope you’re feeling better!

[@bigmikes2140]

You guys are the only lite brite videos I watch. Enjoy the shop videos. Nothing against the other videos just not for me

[@brunnie]

Love watching the both of you as you guys are so knowledgeable about things. WOW! Also the fun side of your personalities comes through too. Until next time.. Wrench safe.

[@ronschilreff3414]

I bet you could bounce a quarter off Bec’s Tushy. Lol.. Jeep looks awesome guys great job as usual.

[@Thundercat68]

Been watching 4 plus years now, loving Lite Bright more each day! Well Done All!!

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

Great show

[@Xasukis]

Love the mid week videos thank you ❤

[@tarbaby6571]

Chris I appreciate you explaining and showing the wiring….I’m learning slowly Thankyou much

[@silentjde]

A semi float 14 bolt is not much of an upgrade, it’s only a 3/4 ton axle.

[@Mikey45013]

And if an axle break the axles not going to stay in the housing. Full floats the only way to

[@merczeph79]

Also the front axle is a dana 44, or 10 bolt, so basically a 1/2 ton axle with 8 lugs and slightly larger brakes... LOL

[@ronaldgentry9923]

They comes in 1 tons also, Stronger than a dana 60, pretty comparable to a 70.

[@brokenwrench404]

Wow, what a wiring job! Just think of dory from finding Nemo Chris. Just keep swimming

[@troybilt6752]

[@cesarquintanilla1264]

love seeing the builds. Chris you are a genius when it comes to wiring. I have to work a lot on wiring also and I hate it. God bless.

[@bobs1648]

Actually, that dash wiring wasn't too bad. When I was rewiring my 76 CJ5 I found out that apparently someone was having a sale on purple wire. The guy I bought my CJ from had at some point rewired the ENTIRE Jeep using nothing but 6' sections of purple wire. Even if the wire only had to span a 6in space he just coiled a 6ft piece and zip tied it. Behind the dash looked like a giant bowl of purple spaghetti. 👍

[@craigbowley6783]

Chris thank you for saying it was easy and not easy peasy lemon squeezy like EVERYONE else does I appreciate ya👍

[@Steve-ng1hq]

How in the heck do you know so much Chris. Wiring is a nightmare!! Chris and Bec team looking awesome as always and great video. Give peanut butter and jelly a hug. Keep vids coming ✌️💪

[@teddonley9594]

I still can't believe you have wonder woman working at the shop and calling herself "Bek" we all know who you really are lol

[@Holden768]

Hi lite brite, i just can not thank you enough for making these awesome videos! Much love❤❤❤

[@Mikey45013]

That looks like a c-clip rear axle. The owner will eventually wish they spent the money on a full float. I've seen the axles come out on a lot of those axle on the trails and if you break a axle good luck driving out on all 4 tires lol

[@kenyonschmieder4434]

You all are a blast to watch. And cool to talk to a GSMJI

[@sprk11]

Hey in the grand scheme of things if the clock isn't overly accurate isn't a big deal,,, the fact you have an original clock that works is awesome. Great and Chris , I love the orange.

[@garretlewis4103]

Saving the vintage clock is pretty cool.

[@boldrbangr9834]

So informative & so much fun! Great job guys 😜

[@dols94]

Finally something jeep related again

[@truckinleprechaunscottcask9747]

To take the time and make a rats nest of a wire harness into a thing of functionality is huge. That dash is going to be a thing of beauty. Great job Chris, just shows your professionalism. Bec, did a great job on three axles for the pedal bouncer, can't wait to see the end product of both these builds.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Looking forward to seeing this one come together.

[@fermbizzfermdiggity6790]

Great job Bec and Chris!

[@brianwhite7179]

Bec is awesome. Chris you are too.

[@trjnsd6874]

Second! I'd love to have my Jeep in the PlayPen for a while!

[@matty86suk]

The rear of the bouncer is a 3/4 ton axle. Gm 9.5, Dana 60 strength.

[@charlesboetel1324]

Not quite, C clip axle retention stronger tha an obsolete 30 spline semi float 60, they made a 6 lug version for many 1/2 tons.

[@matty86suk]

@@charlesboetel1324 yah, 33 spline, 1.3xx” shaft dia. in the 9.5. I have one in my gmc 2500, disk brakes 99 and up.

[@DownNDirty_OffRoad]

Great video!!!Spaghetti wiring is my least favorite as well, it's nice getting it all cleaned up though!!😀

[@charlesboetel1324]

That is a 9.5" semi float 14 bolt, not what you want.

[@joemattes8389]

As soon as I saw the old wiring I thought “Chris is rewiring this Jeep”.

[@thecoach21]

Lite Brite Nation is 1 of my favorite KZbin channels because of the different content that is created. So far, I loved 85% of the content that was created & aired. The other 15% is when you guys did content on the Ford "Fake Wannabe Jeeps so bad" Bronco. I loathe every Broncos I see on the road. Please keep making great content for the ppl and Jeepers.

For those USB in dash I prefer the one with the digital voltmeter built into it

[@toddssmith]

Have they ever covered Chris and Bec's story? I saw somewhere that they're not a couple, which was surprising. How/when did they meet? How did she end up in Utah? (He came with Kevin and Brittany right?) Does she work for Lite Brite full time or live in the house with the rest? Do either of them have a BF or GF since it's apparently not eachother?

[@LiteBrite]

They are both single. Bec has her own place but stays over often. She’s chris’ full time apprentice so they have their own deal worked out. She started helping chris in the shop exactly a year ago pretty much

[@MystC909]

Not very surprising I think she’s gay! She’s more ripped then most men!

[@aerythus]

They seem to have a good working relationship, and that's great to watch. As far as I'm concerned, their personal lives are personal; they each control that however they want to.

[@JasonMossbarger]

Bec and Chris have great charisma together! And I kinda have a cush on Bec, she's great on the show!
