Our Jeep JL Finally Gets an ATLAS TRANSFER CASE!

- The moment all Jeep Wrangler JL and Jeep Gladiator owners have been waiting for is finally here! The Atlas transfer case from Advanced Adapters is available for the JL and JLUR (and the JT, as well!), and it's getting installed in our 426 Hemi-swapped Jeep. Perfect timing, since we coincidentally broke our 4:1 stock transfer case while rock crawling.

For those who have not been following along or have missed the last several videos, here is another friendly PSA - Chris & Bec have never dated at any point in the history of ever. 🙂 Bec has a new job (welding) and moved on. Chris has coincidentally also gotten a new girlfriend at the same time.
Chris is still finishing up the LJ build in his free time, and there should hopefully be a final video on the Jeep once he finishes. 🤙
I apologize. I had assumed that they were a couple. I’m sorry that she left as I assume that like me that many of us liked her and what she brought to your channel. I wish her all the best in her new job. Thank you for your quick reply, Brittany. I don’t know how I missed the videos about her leaving. Maybe you can leave the links here? Please.
I also thought that. Sucks she's goneshe was great on the channel
Funny this is the “big question”.
Is there any chance that Bec will be popping in at random times for shits and giggles videos?
I think Bec had gained quite a few fans and we had "ASSUMED" there was something going on there. (Make an ass out of You and Me). Chris and Bec worked together well and there seemed to be chemistry between them. Oh well. I wish her the best and hope to see her pop in now and then.
It is so wholesome watching Chris and Kevin get in the zone and geek out over all the stuff!
I love how Chris explains what he's doing and makes it easy to fallow along with
Chris needs to be hired by all companies to do their instructional videos. It's online college about how to do things the right way. The attention to detail is phenomenal.
151rst! Sorry to be late but life intrudes. Atlas finally?! Way to go, Kevin! When someone says, “Get Bent” you take up the challenge! Look at the Brite side - frame cross member at least gets supported by body floor. Kevin and Chris geek over the details of transfer case while we Navel Gaze at Brit’s. Time for thorough interior cleaning. Fun Funnel Fiddling! Adult Swim with Brit! Nice form. So many details, so much time! Nice stitching Chris. LiteBriteNationTransfersItsCase!
It’s crazy because you guys make doing things look relatively easy. I’d love to do a triangulated 4 link in the rear of my JKU! But then I remember, it all costs money, and that’s money I don’t have!!!!
You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge with us. Glad to see the Step Child back.
I’ll really miss Bec’s smile, her and Chris’s chemistry. Sad to see her go. I’ve been going back and watching some of your first videos, God I can’t believe it’s been five years. Really love all the shows and can’t wait to see the stepchild back on the trails.
That's a mighty good looking transfer case.
Amazing what the vehicle can take. Great to know the aftermarket manufacturers know what they are doing.
Good to see you getting the stepchild up dated, that is going to be insane with that atlas & the triangular 4 link. Cant wait to see how it does! You guys rock
The fact that the skids are stronger than the frame is the most jeep thing ever...I love it
I can't wait to see that Atlas in use. So cool!
So many options to choose from. I love seeing everything you guys test and torture ❤️❤️💯🤙
The Day Care videos are cool...
Great detailed video as usual from Chris!! This will help when I install an Atlas in my Diesel JL!!😃
A couple of D-rings in the floor under the lift and a comealong will fix them bends and dents.
You guys made that look a little to easy!!!
Advance Adapters takes me back to the three-speed transmission swap-outs, to the four-speed transmissions, that is where they started. Think it was their Downey CA location I took the entire 4X to… (There was some shift linkage kinks to work out, they wanted to see and fix first hand). (Rare to experience this level of customer satisfaction commitment). {Side-Note: It might have been something similar to the rock slider company you worked with sometime ago}. (Mass production parts, customer satisfaction oriented companies). Thanks for showing how the Atlas was setup for your Jeep. 💯%✅
Scratched, bent or broken, we all know who did it. It was caught on video. Great watching the upgrades. I love upgrades. I brake stuff just to upgrade.
Two things.. You can flat tow, however, there is a documented case where someone got overheated and melted a bunch of stuff. Its on the chats and i think Robbie at motech addressed it at youtube "WrangerJKLS". Two, i didn't know it but the oil replacement is 15k miles for the AtlasII oil... P.S. Don't forget to mark (zip tie) the tube...
I like the shop vids.. I still watch just about all your videos. I can’t wait for the test run 👍.
Good morning guys and gals you make my day !!!
Y'all just gave me an idea. A while back I removed the spare out from under the back of the Durango I'm going to put a reserve tank there 🤙
When you turned back to kevin that face he had being so proud he bent that Kevin's that offroad monster
I like the old school Green Day and Aerosmith song references 😂
I could watch yall all dang day, yins rock as always. Chris has a great job! Stay safe as always! ( chris do you need an assistant lmao. ) #LITEBRITENATION
Its too bad that you cant do front high. I twin sticked my dana 300 and the atlas is based off of it. and by just grinding down the shift rail a tiny bit you can get everything to shift independently while still keeping it from being able to go into high and low at the same time keeping the case safe from splitting itself in half. This has saved me in the past when i broke a rear ujoint to my axle and i was able to just tire up the shaft and put it in front high to drive home at full speed.
Genright offroad exs frame and never look back! 🤙
93rd from Calhoun smoking a founders cigar the day after my bday 👊🏻💪🏻
Finally have an atlas so no more excuses. Going to have to try the hard stuff from now on. :P
🤣❤️
So is the next video about the hot tub?? Asking for a friend! That T-Case is killer!
Pretty awesome!! Good luck :)
Living your best lives!
AA is down the road from me , good guys
I like the Green Day shout out!
Bro , you got me at Eternity. LOLOLOL
Great video thank you!
Sorry to hear Beck left,but what about her Jeep? Will it get finished?
Chris is working on it in his off time. 🙂
Can you still make a video of it’s final build stages please?
It has been one of the most incredible documented LJ builds ever.
Greenday, secret song👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Its looking good.. can't wait until its done...
Excellent vid.
Supermodel in a jeep, win win,
Looking good. But I'm wondering what would Kevin do if there wasn't a Chris to fix what he breaks? The Rock Crawler tank is a excellent idea for the future.
We’d be doing the same thing we did before we were blessed with Chris’s presence & skills. 😁
Is there any reasons to opt for the Atlas 2 speed over the Atlas 4 speed??
Waiting for My "Ox" Lockers...And Then The Atlas 5 Speed...Haven't Worked Out The Gearing Yet...But I'm Paying Attention...God Bless. PS...Warntee Issues
I want to install one of these as an upgrade for a JT gladiator and have the capability of the factory upgrade full time 4wd transfer case but with the upgraded way the step child has on the trails. What set up should I get?
You should just call anything that breaks on the Jeep or vehicle the "Kevin Effect" lol.
I want one for my 392 !!!
It’s amazing how capable Wranglers are when you replace the entire suspension geometry, motor, shocks, t-case, driveshafts, exhaust, lockers, hubs, skid plates, body panels, and wheels/tires. Once you take all the Mopar crap off, they are pretty sweet.
Actually you can watch our first videos and see how insanely capable it was stock. We did a lot of crazy stuff without all this. It’s pretty amazing how capable they are in stock form but what fun is it being stock?
@@LiteBrite 🤣 I’m aware. I’m just causing a riot. I subscribe to the belief that everything is better with 6-8 inches tucked under it 😊
im jealous - i havent pulled the trigger for the atlas yet
Looks like you guys need a genright ESX Frame
We have thought about it
It’s heat seaters* damn boy everyone know that 😂 shout out joe dirt
I’m about to buy a 2023 Jeep. What engine (can’t afford hemi or diesel) should I choose?
Same as a doubler
I see what you did there in the intro 😉
This video shows why i dont overbuild the stuff i put on my truck. I dont want my frame to be the week link
Chris is such a wizard with mechanics and his step by step instructions is right on! That atlas shifting is pretty complicated! Happy Trails to you all! I do miss Bec on the channel! Do you have to reprogram the jeeps ECU to tell it your running an atlas?
Not at all. The Atlas comes with everything you need for it to work, including the switches so everything communicates properly.
I still can’t believe that Chris and Bec weren’t bumping uglys, now way, there was some heat in that workshop.
Never. Not once. Not even a kiss
@@LiteBrite that is why she left... 😁
Haha. Doubtful but ya never know
She was a beautiful soul. Such a gorgeous person.
the rock crawler tank would add center low down weight do you think that could help counter any weight issues from having the rear mount tank?
Why did you decide to go with the Atlas 2 speed and not the 4 speed?
They don’t offer a 4 speed for a JL, but we also don’t need that kind of extra torque with the 426 hemi.
Nice shirt ❤
Chris, have you gone to school(s) for the stuff you do, or have you just had some really good OJT (on the job training)?
ive been building things and creating things my whole life. then road racing, offroad racing, building drag cars and worked for a custom shop for years.
can u tell u the name of that pool spa, i want one, ty
What’s the tool (socket) that Chris was using to drive the studs in called?
I honestly dont remember where i got it. lol they are for studs tho.
where did you get the lap pool/jacuzzi? I want one!
i wish i could find a shop in ohio close to canton that wouldnt charge $3000 just to install gears and thats with me already having a yukon complete install kit and gears i have been searching for a year i am sitting on 38 inch toyo open country's n the stock 4:10 jku rubicon gears just dont have enough umph i have never put my jeep in over drive since i bought it almost a year ago
So can you not drive it off the trail if the back driveshaft breaks? Because you cant use front high? I’d get two rear driveshafts
You could absolutely drive off a trail under your own power if you broke a rear driveshaft. This can be done with or without an Atlas. You could either remove the broken driveshaft and just put her in 4H or 4L (like you would on a factory transfer case in the same scenerio), or have the front in 2L to crawl off the trail. Super easy to do. 🙂
Yeah, ,,what did you guys do with Bec
She’s working a new job. She’s not here anymore
@@LiteBritecan you give us all some closure and tell us what she moved on to and if y’all are still tight??
She got a welding job. Prob won’t be seeing her much anymore
I want an atlas for my 392. I assume u ordered it from advance adapters (or amw?). Then you got the mounting adapter from amw? I heard (from a 392 forum) that advance adapters is having problems getting the mounting adapter...
Factory 392 is a different trans tail housing which is where the problem would be.
I’ll detail that interior for about 3 fiddy 😅😂😂. Jk Those Atlas T.C.’s are the beez kneez!
Got any footage of the boot remake. I think thats pertinent..
It’s in their instructions
I thought the 2 nut method were the guys working on the jeep to begin with…😂
If there's any rig that deserves Armor lite flooring...
Where has Beck been?
See pinned comment
What happened to Beck ?
She got a new job
@@LiteBrite she will be missed wish her the best in her new endeavor, 3.0 looks to be going well :)
What happen to Bec? We haven’t seen her in a while.
Check the pinned comment. 😊
Why that far ratio in the atlas? Did you not just lose crawl ratio vs factory 4.1?
It’s 3.8:1 instead of 4:1 which won’t really be noticed and with the torque output from the 426 hemi it doesn’t need more crawl ratio
What is the name brand of the hot tub.. Thanks
Nice
Whats the cost!
How many gallons is the new tank?
The Motobilt tank is 21 gallons
Where has Bec been ??
She got a new job and moved
@@LiteBrite well she will be missed
That is the cleanest that unit will ever be......take a good look.....it will never be that clean again...LOL
I apologize if I’m behind, but I haven’t seen Bec in a while… is she still on the crew?
She’s moved on
Nope. She moved on to new opportunities.
😢
@@LiteBriteI’m sorry to hear that. Thanks!
Where’s the LJ?
Sorry if I missed something, but did you sell the ultra4 truck?
About a year ago.
Hey when’s Bec coming back? she’s been MIA.
Check the pinned comment. 🙂
2004 lane Robert discovery.
let cris get a word in edge'wise kev 😂 jk
Is Bec still helping with the builds?
Bec had moved on.
@@davids1033 I'll miss her, such a sweet soul.
NV skids are not supported correctly to bash on like that. Obviously.
Youd be better off building tubular braces to jold the skids
They are plenty supported. That’s why they lasted so long through all the abuse
@@LiteBrite thats why your frame crossmember is bent. And frame rails bent up. Look at real built crawlers.
My almost 2 year old said jeep because I’d this video.
When are you going to work on the land rover?
I have a bad a** slander like yours with 37 is tires from Las. Vegas like to see your work completed watch U in a robotics all the time can't wait to meet you in person 1 day.
still waiting for parts from england. soon. then ill build something stupid with her.. lol
What happened to Beck
She got a new job and moved
Nice video. BTW, where's Bec ?
She got a new job
@@LiteBrite Okay, thanks.
Lol…she was replaced
Where Bec?
Check the pinned comment. 😊
👍
So interesting to read Brits never ever responses . I believe there is more too the whole situation ...
It went from look at what we're doing together ... too kevin and Brittany are back and Bec is gone and Chris is in a relationship.
I know they were never ever ever in a relationship of any kind....
Too bad it was good content mixed in with all the rest.
WHERE IS BEC?
Check the pinned comment. 😊
With the thicker fluid in the Atlas on the JK they recommended to use a larger diameter breather hose so it doesn't puke it out. I looked up the JL/JT instructions and saw nothing mentioned.

Здравствуйте можно вам задать пару вопросов по раздаточной коробке Atlas Sport
@@VaDim-xw3fx I'll try to answer your question if I can.
@@xTinBenderX на моей раздаточной коробке ATLAS SPORT если включить пониженную передачу, тогда не включается полный привод 4×4, если включить полный привод 4×4 то не включается пониженная передача 😂. Может можно отрегулировать как-то включение? Опыта эксплуатации такой раздаточной коробки нет. Большое спасибо!
@@VaDim-xw3fx Sounds like the shifter cables need to be adjusted.
Here's a video how to adjust the shift cables.
