Did Hoonigan Do Him Dirty?! VIRAL JEEP WRECK EXPLAINED!

- At this point, everyone in the off road community (and the automotive community in general) has seen the viral Jeep wreck from Hoonigan's recent This vs That Off Road episode. The question is, did Hoonigan do him dirty by not airing the walk-around of his Jeep Wrangler build or his driver interview?

For those confused about the point of this video - to clarify, no one is arguing fault of the wreck, they came to party & he sent it too hard. The question is, did they do him dirty (and the Raptor owner) by not showing their driver interviews and vehicle walk-arounds (like they generally do with all competitors) so that viewers had better knowledge of the build and drivers could have opportunity to market their company/shop in the process like they were promised. Would that have mitigated ignorant comments like some of the ones we discussed at the very end of this video? And also given the competitors at least some of the marketing benefits they were promised, but never received since the interviews weren’t aired?
Ya they most certainly did him dirty. Dixi offroad should get the publicity or atleast the same coverage as the other contenders.
( The question is, did they do him dirty (and the Raptor owner) by not showing their driver interviews and vehicle walk-arounds ) Are you going to Showcase the Raptor driver like you did with this driver? Or is this just a Jeep thing? Before anyone goes bashing me. I like Jeeps and bronco's. I like Litebrite what you all do. I just disagree on this video.
Hooligan handled the whole thing wrong they promised to do things but failed to deliver and then grabbed the lime light it may be their highest watched show but I for one won't be watching it also now the Jeeps been shown and this interview the bronco driver should have the same opportunity but Dixie off road aren't mucking around if they can fab n rebuild a vehicle that fast to that standard I honestly have to tip my hat to them for the effort and for the honesty in what happend well done as usual guys
@@damgui1 they may not know the Raptor driver?
The raptor guy was brought back the next day to do an interview and talk about his plans and even called out Bryce to race again after his raptor is rebuilt. He got his own time and segment after the wreckage on that same episode.
Thank you for doing this for Bryce. Bryce and his family are quite simply great people. His parents fixed my Jeep in Moab on a weekend when their shop was not even open so that I could make it home. Thank you for using your influence for good and to show respect and honor and be good people. We need more of it. Heavy respect!
similar story for me. I was in Moab and my clutch completely burned out. I was supposed to leave in 2 days! Bryce took it on, and got the clutch replaced in a day and a half, including staying in Moab on a Friday night to finish up Saturday morning, even though he was commuting from St George! If they were still open in Moab, they would be my top recommendation for repairs. I will always recommend Dixie 4wd!
Good of you guys to bring this to Lite! Such a shame to learn how the Hoonigan crew treated him! Off-road community; NO ONE is left behind.
Respect props to you, Lite Brite, to give us “the rest of the story”. You do your friends proud!
Paul Harvey agrees
Great job LiteBrite for helping to set the record straight and help show a more enlightened side of the owner's story.
I liked this dude way back when. He just seems really genuine which is hard to find nowadays. I’m glad he didn’t get hurt except maybe a smidge of pride. The new rig is phenomenal brother!! Much love from Louisiana!!!
This was a solid move to give Bryce a shot to talk about what happened. I had a chance to to see the tub in person and it’s amazing he walked away! I look forward to seeing him on the mountain in 2024!
Love Bryce! He is the only shop that has ever talked me out of doing something on my jeep because he thought it was the wrong direction for what I have. Super honest shop and super honest guy. Glad to see Bryce is doing well! Go to Dixie, they are great!!
Good on you guys for hangin with Bryce and leveling some things up 😁👊🏻.
Definitely went there to send it for sure and accomplished that ten fold !!! Glad he is safe .
Unfortunately in todays world greed supersedes character in “most” social entities.
I am supremely happy to support y’all as you have been a great example for people as individuals and the trends of character doesn’t have to be exchanged for exposure .
Good job you guys 🇺🇸👊🏻🥃🥃 tequila on the rocks someday y’all 👍🏻
I’m Glad He’s Ok!! I know how it is to jump out and say I’m ok being more worried about your vehicle than yourself at the moment! I watched it the day it came out and I knew how fast he was going it wasn’t going to end well! I was mad at the title of this video in the beginning but hearing him out and thinking back they didn’t talk to him about his business or anything and they definitely got the views off his bad luck!!! But I’m not mad about it at all because you guys gave him the time and recognition he deserves and deserved to have then! Especially when he lost all that money and time! Thank God He’s Ok!!!
They did him did him dirty 100% glad he is ok and the rebuilt Jeep looks bad ass!
Awesome of you guys to do this with Bryce. Most of those ignorant comments were 5#/+€; no 'almost' stock Jeep would have got past the first jump. In fact it would be great to see two stock cars going head to head with bets on who gets the farthest, not who gets to the end first.
Homie just went too hard! lol being competitive gets the best of us sometimes!
He definitely sent it too hard. We simply think showing a build walk-around and driver interview (like they generally do for all competitors) might have mitigated some of the more ignorant reactions/comments regarding the Jeep build like ones we discussed at the very end of this video.
Love that you guys did this. I know from experience that some of the peeps that do things, don't always disclose what they are or what they have done . Saddens me .
Sad to see how Hoonigan mis-handled this situation. It would be great if they gave a sincere apology (aired all of the footage) and tried their best to do better going forward.
I didn't understand why they didn't show anything about the build. They never did that before thought it was bullshit. But they got their carnage video, and I think that's all they wanted. Anyway people now days only care about themselves so I can't say I'm surprised..
Thanks for the build video here u guys rock
Glad to see you be able to
"make light" of everything.
I give you a TON of respect for handling the situation as a whole so good!
This was a big deal even for the crews with an endless budget this would have been a big deal!
Amazing rebuild - great job guys! Nice to put the record straight - great Company - sent it and paid a heavy price - live and learn - love the response - new version is just Sick!!!!!
One of the best shops in the biz. I've broke twice wheeling sand hallow. Both times someone answered the phone after hours and got me the parts i needed.
I'm glad he was not seriously hurt. The off road community needs Dixie 4wd does it need hoonigan? Nope. I'd much rather support someone who I know would help me on a trail at midnight and not leave until they knew I was good. I cringe everytime seeing you're wreck but I appreciate litebrite taking the time to make this video for those of us who truly do care about the Off-Roading community.
OMG - I'm so glad you addressed this "oversight?". I'm sure we all felt the same as you.
Having met Bryce on the trail in Moab , I felt bad for him for not getting a break with them going over his Jeep, people thought it was a stock 392, which it isn’t. I’m glad he talked about the suspension not being fully setup. Most don’t understand how capable that rig is off road and more important how good it is on road. A tough balance to achieve
This video needed to be made. I was really surprised they didn't explain or show more of the jeep. Good deal 🤜🤛
Thanks for making this video. I saw this wreck on the episode and had no idea how well built that jeep was.
Love Bryce, Love the shop, they took care of my daughter and her Jeep for the 4 years of college she was there. They also supported her and gave her all the confidence during their sponsored trail rides. So glad Bryce walked away. Love the rebuild.
Thanks for doing this guys 🙏... Nobody gets left behind!! I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄🥃🏆
First I have learned about this incident. Have always heard positive comments about Dixie 4 Wheel Drive. Don't think I'll go to Hoonigan's site to give them view count. Sounds like Bryce can steer me to the right person for custom work to do on my jeep. Glad to know Bryce is good both physically and mentally (i.e. positive outlook and thankful to be able to live life). Thanks for sharing.
Drag racers stay and help, too. This may give a little insite to why people are leaving Hoonigan. Between Ken and them being bought I'm betting it's just not the same there anymore.
feel the same that hoonigan turned in to a show that whant to show of more on their own cars and people and look like a low key rappvideo then invite people show their cars and pasion for cars and the hobby no matter if its a full blown trophy truck or a stock miata.
hoon is not the same as before, it changed to something less desireble.
I'm really glad you did this video. I had seen the Raptor truck video but not his jeep wreck. Glad to know he came out with minimal injuries.
Yeah I never seen this “viral” video till now.
Pops up daily
I thought the same thing about them not doing the vehicle walk around I thought it was weird. Then when I saw the crashes, I realized the main focus of that video was going to be the crash is not the drivers or their vehicles
Maybe we all need to flood hoonigans social media platforms with questions, mainly, why no walk around on the Jeep. Glad Bryce is ok, the refreshed version of the JL looks great, and screw all of the haters that talked smack, until they are in the driver seat in a race they will not understand the adrenalin rush that leads to these bad decisions.
I watched the episode and tbh, there was a contagious can of beans given to a couple players that day. The raptor huck to flat that preceded the rubicon was equally as epic.
Wow! I saw the Red Dixie JL, all crushed and bruised, at Dixie 4x - photos and videos do not do the damage justice. The rebuild is spectacular! So much talent and hard work! "Everybody wants to be a critic." Pay no attention to them; y'all know what you're doing. The proof is in the results! LIteBriteNationFriendsPhoenixRises!
Great video! Thanks for supporting the off-road community. 🤘
That was by far my favorite episode of this vs that so far. Made for a great video. It's unfortunate it came at the driver's expense but that's the way she goes. Glad nobody was seriously injured. Hoonigan is going to make a fortune on that video.
Thank you lite Brite for being real people and looking out for others as we all should
This video makes me proud to be a part of the off-roading community. Nice Job!
Great shop great people. Glad you guys gave him the opportunity to set the record straight
Bryce is such a rad dude! 💯
This was a great fucking video guys and while sure it's not your original content type it was definitely NEEDED. I know that they are so thankful that you guys gave them the time to tell their side and most importantly gave them the recognition and publicity that they deserve because they absolutely do deserve it. We have baby jeeps at the moment but aspire to have these amazing types of builds one day!
Thanks for always being stand up human beings!
Definitely sounds like someone did him wrong by not staying back and helping, keeping eyes on him for health issues. But he does own his mistake about what went wrong.
Glad he came out relatively ok
No one is arguing fault of the wreck, they came to party & he sent it too hard. The question is, did they do him dirty (and the Raptor owner) by not showing their driver interviews and vehicle walk-arounds (like they generally do with all competitors) so that viewers had better knowledge of the build (and drivers could have marketed their company/shop in the process like promised). Would that have mitigated ignorant comments like some of the ones we discussed at the very end of this video?
@@LiteBrite stop copy pasting the exact same response to every comment without actually addressing people's thoughts, views and opinions on what happened. You're not doing your Viewers Justice by doing them dirty with a copy paste response! Fucking lame move LiteBrite! Do better!
@@reanukeevesau stfu and troll Prius videos Dmfk it's not their fault you can't fkn read
@@reanukeevesau Are you challenged? Liking your own comments is lame yet you do it
So awesome that you did this for and with Bryce. Badass build and great to see it built back again.
The new cage is sweet. Excellent fabrication work.
Learned alot from this video, I didn't know who was driving the Jeep and now I'm glad I do. Awesome vehicle build x2 and great person and solid company history in Utah.
"How many rubber ducks fell out." 🤣
I was lucky enough to go to Moab one time so far. My wife and I went to Dixie 4x4 just because we were there. They were awesome, very nice and intuitive. I would recommend them to anyone especially if you're in that area.
That could have been MUCH worse. I freaking like that guy. You can clearly see how cool that fella is. He is a asset to the community hands down.
I am digging the wheels that were on that jeep, super nice!
SO glad he was okay after that crash. FULL CAGE MANDATORY.
Good Vid as ALWAYS
Great video, I was wondering what happened to all the driver and Jeep details when I seen that Hoonigan video, glad Bryce is ok and the rebuild looks amazing.
I wondered what happened to your intro. I was also wondering why you didn't get interviewed after. Something didn't feel right. I'm glad I saw this video.
It was really cool of Lite Brite to let him set the record straight!
Visited their shop in Moab and few years ago. Great people.
Shame on Hooligan....Hoonigan,no Hooligan. Glad you were not seriously injured. Fantastic recovery and build.
Nice coverage and glad you are telling the entire story Hoonigan didn’t and dispelling the silly “off the lot and throw some shocks on it” comment they made. Bryce is a good dude and Dixie is a great shop!
Love that cage!
It's not the speed
It's the sudden stop
I definitely will be stopping by Dixie 4 wheel drive with my JL on my way North this Spring. Have more wheeling to do down south here first.
Thanks for the follow up / clarification.
Keep Wheelin’.
Great video! Bryce owns and operates a great shop. I had work done at Dixie 4x4 this year when I was at Trail Hero. Great people do great work at Dixie! Thanks for making this video Kevin and Brittany
I’m glad you righted this… just watched it. They definitely did him dirty.
great video and nice to see you show him respect. that cage and suspension is sick..... i want!!!!
Glad to hear you didn’t have any back injuries from that. You very lucky and you’re a father to three who can still hug you everyday. 😊
Lucky he didn’t end up with a broken neck,jaws or facial fractures leaving the airbags in and wearing a helmet
Glad he didnt get hurt most importantly.
I saw the work that went into JL1, I know Bryce and his capabilities as a driver , designer and fabricator; I saw the Jeep after the incident up close. When I saw the video I was appalled!!! When I talked with Bryce afterwards he really downplayed the crash (typical Bryce). That should have crumpled any “stock Jeep” like a soda can! That he walked away from that crash is testament to how overbuilt JL1 is!!! And he brought it back even better with basically just sheet metal! The only stock Jeep parts that were left is what had to be replaced! Those of us who know the man and his machine KNOW that truth!! Thank you for telling the true story!! THIS is the after-report that should have been shown!! Y’all ROCK!!❤
glad to see the driver is doing great
I was just glad to see he was ok, great job on the rebuild though, the Jeep looks great. Thanks for this video glad to see his point of view.
Glad you did this! Deserved more than what was presented originally.
YES, That Hoonigan Video had a Totally different Vibe // Totally felt that Hoonigan were A-holes and taking advantage of these guys for Ratings // This is what happens to the company after Ken Block Dies Tragically ?????? //
Pretty sure the direction changed before the passing of Ken.
So glad yall did this! They did Bryce dirty on that show for sure. I watched it and I already knew of him and Dixie4wheeldrive so it was odd to see what they said about him and the jeep. Pretty sad that they did that, bad look on their part.
But glad yall gave him the chance to make it somewhat right, or atleast explain.
Great job guys.
Hoonigan told the jeep driver he would be paid by advertisement in the video. There was no advertisement for the jeep building company or the driver.
At the end of the hoonigan video dude said something like "you cant throw wheels and tires on something and think its a trophy truck" actung as if that wrangler had ONLY tires and wheels
You have to admit the rubber ducks comment is funny!! Total respect to you and your shop for the build before the accident and definitely for the rebuild afterwards!!! Goes to show just what a top tier shop you own and operate.
Thumbs down to hoonigan for the total disrespect!!!
I thought it was a bit weird that they didn't go into the Jeep much. Glad you guys made this video. And I too really like Hoonigan. I blame this more on the producers/editors than the guys that were there during the filming. But the bit at the end is kind of unacceptable.
And yes, the Hemi's variable length intake will collect oil if rolled. The Jeepster that Flex Rocks and Rollovers had this very issue happen on his 6.2L Hemi.
Terrible crash, but amazing rebuild.👍
Kevin, Your instinct to do right ROCKS! (Thanks Brittany as well!) That’s why we love LB. (Chris too👍)
Bro you sent it way too hard 😂😂😂😂😂
Really glad that you made this video. It is good to get the “rest of the story”.
Good video, thanks for explaining all this
Hoonigan is a dying breed. After Ken passed and the OG guys leaving, it's all but over now
I noticed when I watched it, that part was missing. I watch all their other videos and thought it was odd. That day all the clips were being shared on I.G. and I was able to do some clicking and find it on Dixie's page. Glad to see its back on its wheels and rolling again.
Very cool of you to shed light on the situation. Great video.
pretty wild for hoonigan to not promote the company that just laid it all out there for them.
Really good episode. Bryce seems like a really cool guy…
I’m happy y’all did this video. He is a good dude! His background is awesome. I didn’t watch that video I stopped watching hoonigan at the son of a digger doing some parking lots stunts. They seem to stage everything. I’m unsubscribing from them. But on the bright side I always watch y’all’s videos and 👍. I like that yall are true to people. It says alot about yall. Keep up the great content!
Great content…. Thanks and merry Christmas
Hoonigan used to have an okay show, not that we would watch everyone though. Words through the grape vine were already telling a not so good look on there part. "Leaving for dinner ". We know its true now. So if you see a hoonigan sticker on someone broke down, tell them you are late for dinner. 😅 that was so wrong and not part of my off road community.
Thank you.
Good on you for this video and it's content!! You've done Bryce and Dixie 4 wheel drive, a great service!! It speaks volumes of your character and the off-road community, as a whole!!
Solid move Lite Brite. That story wouldn’t have gotten the proper. Overage if you hadn’t done this segment.
So Roll Cage??? Coming soon? Did Matt give you a spot?
Roll cage modifications coming soon! And updates on the Off Road Games as well!
I've always had respect for yall and now I have even more for what yall just did for him and I've lost respect for hoonigan for how they portrayed it. I wish I could just have some of the things yall take off of your jeeps to put bigger and better stuff on. I have a stock 2019 jlus except for aftermarket rims and can't wait to be able to put bumpers lift and hopefully one day lockers and or bigger better axel. Love the vids keep them coming.
Glad to hear the whole story or the story since the only thing I saw was a jeep flipping on a vodeo someone sent me.Pretty screwed up deal right there !
If it was still Hoonigan instead of Wheel Pros disguised as Hoonigan maybe they would have stuck with the format. Hoonigan doesn't even have the Tireslayer Studios anymore.
Great comeback! Cool vlog. Gotta look out for your community. Your friends and those close. Lite Brite and Dixie. Cool area.
happy your buddy is good. Watched that t v t was in aww rough outcome. For both drivers. And the crew member who had to run his bronco. Lol. Kevin, Brittany and Chris I love the show. Been a fan for a few years. Keep up the wicked content. You tube TV is the only TV I watch when I'm not wheeling or working.🤘 wish I could show you a picture of my 1 off custom by me tj on tons and 42's. You truly have an inspirational day job. Rock on.
So the Hoonigan guys were previously Ford sponsored? Maybe thats why?? I just watch cool off road content and enjoy watching the things i like to watch . Thank you guys. I didnt see the video you reference until i saw this video from you. Thank you!
Britt's giggling behind the camera is awesome
First of all: I am glad Bryce is okay.
That was one hell of a crash!
The new jeep looks fabulous - It's incredible that this jeep was built in 3 months, you must not have slept.
Shame on Hoonigan!
30:02 no kidding. No one leaves till everybody leaves. I really think it’s a “production company” thing to only worry about the shot, and everything else is not important.
Awesome job on the rebuild.
Badass Jerp before and after!
I am just glad he is ok and able to tell the story.
At the end of the day, I think rippen the track on round 2. You have picked your battle.. At the end of the night, everyone went home safe. Love all you, thank you for what you do.👍✌️
Cudos to Lite Brite for shedding light to Bryce’s side of the story. Cudos to Bryce and his team for making it out alive and making a bad situation better. I would expect better from Hoonigan but since the person who put Hoonigan on the map passed away, Hoonigan isn’t Hoonigan anymore.
For some reason when watchin any video I watch for a bit and then I go to the comments to get a feel or take on what other viewers think. Especially when I know little or nothing about the content. I was immediately impressed about how positive the comments were for the driver of the crashed Jeep and the channel for explaining, what was to me, a confusing issue.
As to Hoonigan I only knew them from the vids of the drag racing between the young daughter and different racers or bad Street cars. Is that correct? I knew of the tragedy but didn't know about the sale of the company.
Rarely does a sale of this kind result in the same type of content if you lose all the "characters" that made the original shows so popular. The new owners are just buying a "name" not personalities but I do recognize when promises are made to get talent for an event, especially last minute recruitment of talent, and then the promises get "forgotten". Rarely is there any legally binding contracts involved. Racers wanna race. We/they are a trusting bunch.
Sorry, PTSD and me always writing too much.
All ya'll seem like good people.
