WHAT BROKE?! WE REVIEW THE DAMAGE!

[@jasonethridge]

Two things at play here: 1) Being the great Jeepers that you are, you actually wheeled in the rocks instead of trying to overcome them with brute force and crashing the car into them like waves. 2) Being the great Jeepers that you are, you have acquired so much good trail karma that not only did you finish and place 23rd at KOH with no mechanicals or breakage, but also finished and placed 14th at BFE with no mechanicals or breakage BEFORE THE CAR WAS FIXED! Good things come to those who do good things, and, whether it’s helping folks in a jam on trail, helping people become better wheelers, or just spreading positivity, y’all do good things. So... Keep living your best lives and Happy Trails!

Your Team work with Brittany spotting and Kevin Driving is where you guys shine!!! Super Awesome Job guys You Both are super inspirational!!! Thanks for taking us along!

[@phyllisanddallaslemon5018]

I have to agree that your video of KOH was the best you have ever produced. You raised the bar by a lot Brittany!

[@repalmore]

Britney, I mentioned that great job of editing on your video. You really did do a great job of on it. Not only did you finish the KOH on your first time out, you place in the top half. AND you didn't destroy the equipment. Tell me, how many DNF racers were on their first attempt and I'm sure many were not on their first try. You didn't just do good, you knocked it out of the park.

[@KX6D]

We raced a bomber, had won the 4500 EMC the day before...again...and didn't finish this year due to transmission issues. Its phenomenal they did so well on their first year! I don't think that Mel Wade has ever finished; please correct me if I'm wrong. Some years are just not your year. For K&B, all the parts came together and stayed together because they didn't overdrive their car. I've see that asshole Robbie Gordon DNF at least twice and a Toyota on leaf springs win twice. K&B did it right with lots and lots of help! It takes a lakebed!

[@SpookyAction-AtaDistance]

Rubbing is racing no matter what style of racing you do!

[@kevinmccarthy3379]

The lack of serious damage is testimony to Kevin's natural ability he seems to have driving off road. And the race video that you say took 40 hours to edit is top notch. That video is as good as you're performance itself was. Congratulations to both of you.

Greez Dad - I had one hip replaced at the end of last September. Can't imagine both at once but hang in there. I know it doesn't seem like it now but each day or week get's ever so slightly better and you'll be off the walker, then off using a cane soon, if not already. You'll get there!!!

I just wanted to say that I know nothing about desert racing or bomber cars but regarding your broken sway bar, I remember watching you guys and I noticed some of the things you mentioned. I was thinking to myself; is that car supposed to lean like that? Now we know...no it's not! Great job anyways guys! I have a '93 Suburban 4X4 sitting at the back of the driveway waiting for me to get inspired. You two are my inspiration.

Great video. Glad you explained about the guy NOT pushing you over. I was in a Jeep club in the Midwest and did checkpoint and communications for many off road races and sometimes that stuff happens. Sometimes to the helpers. 1 time I pulled a Cadillac ( yes a Cadillac; is was a run what ya brung off road race) off the track and blew up my transfer case.

Only ever heard of KOH and OMG that thing is BRUTAL!! Kevin, you dud an amazing job driving over and through all those ridiculous obstacles sir! And Brittany, you did the same amazing job you've always done reading the trails and giving Kev advise on lines of approach! Eleven plus hours in that motorized land missle being jarred around like that would have injured most people. Amazing footage, and you guys impressed the KOH commentators all day long as well! Great job guys!!

[@fscottgray9784]

Too many folks do not know how to restrain themselves in stressful situations. " WHEN IN DOUBT GIVE IT THE GAS" more often than not breaks things. Knowing when to not put the hammer down is as important as knowing when and probably more. Great job as a team. You both contributed to keeping it all together.

I saw your first YT video back then.. and I witness you were both learning from the very basic bone stock jeep up till now. You are not a bunch of rich guys that suddenly bought a racing car and race. That's answer the question of how you can survive in this race without any significant damage. GOOD JOB LITE BRITE !!

Congratulations again on not just finishing the KOH race but by placing so well and the fact that your vehicle completed the entire race with such little damage and needing zero repairs to complete the race. You guys are awesome!!!

[@ewingfox6459]

I just realized that well everybody keeps calling you rookie racers - your lifestyle and the amount of time you actually spend off road - your full-time jobs as creators and ambassadors also involves an awful lot of off roading! The one clip where you had some crowd noise from some subscriber provided footage summed it up "That guy can really drive!!!" Of course, we all know it's down to Brit's exceptional co-driver skills, all he has to do is steer the thing where shel tells him to ;)

[@josephhazlett4737]

The reason that you took on as little damage as you did, is due to Kevin's awesome driving, Brittany's spot on spotting and you loosing your racing virginity. I know for a fact cuz when I raced my first Parker 400, when it was called the Parker 400, I had the same fortune by placing in the top ten. But my luck wasn't so good in the BAJA 1000. I didn't finish that race due to lawn darting my truck and going end over end between 12 to 15 times. But the good thing was that I walked away with both of my shoulders sore and a voice around two octives higher than normal. You two keep doing what you are doing, believe in each other, respect each other and keep up the great work and vlogging. Maybe one of these days, we might just happen to cross paths. Keep the shiney side up and keep on trucking.

[@josephhazlett4737]

I know they were sore the next day. I was sore as sh_t after the Parker but for two days and going to the chiropractor three times a week for two and a half months. When we raced in the eighties we (I) I didn't have all the technology and suspension travel that they have today

[@timackerman688]

Lil bit of damage is expected. Your driving skills allowed a great run.very awesome run. You finished with experience now and great memories. CONGRATULATIONS on that whole run and finishing in a running driving BEAST!

[@adjake1]

I’d be curious to see how a ptfe ? skid plate cover would work on the diffs. And did you see the Bilstein Koh promo video featuring y’all

[@KX6D]

It wouldn't last long. Too many rocks all day long and how do you secure it to the diff? In this environment its not worth the time and effort. If it was, your top 10 drivers would be doing it. Have you ever been to the hammers?

[@michaelbrown8545]

The banjo housing is cracked in the middle at the bottom because the axle tubes are flexing up. You need an upgraded rear axle housing with top and bottom tube reinforcement. The flexing is also what causes the studs to work loose as the flange is stretching around the stud holes. Great work on the race and the editing 👍

[@Dragonford350]

Great vid. I attribute the minimal damage SUSTAINED to proper driving/handling of the vehicle and choosing the right line. As far as the rear diff is concerned, can you drill the crack to stop it from travelling then re weld it ? And as far as the nuts loosening up on the center chunk of the rear. Is it possible to put a NordLoK washer on it ? I used those washers at my old job. They were awesome. It's basically a double lock washer. Awesome job folks. How did you feel in the days after the race?

This compared to the Ford Bronco blowing out their original, their spare, and having to borrow a 3rd driveshaft during the race. Great vehicle, great mechanics, great driver, and great spotter brought 999 across the finish line with its original parts. Well done!!!

[@codyshortt4469]

Congrats to safely completing the race! If you have a problem with keeping your 3rd member nuts torqued, it may be because of a previous over-torque. If someone over-torqued the nuts at some point, they may have stretched the bolts into their material yielding region of stress. I'm guessing/hoping you plan on replacing all of those studs when you get your whole axle housing fixed. And you should probably replace the nuts too.
