“Honk if something falls off” that resonates with me. DEF/Exhaust skid fell off on an obstacle at Rausch Creek 2 days ago. 🙄 I should’ve held out for Next Venture’s diesel plates 😖 On the upside, it was FINALLY my daughter’s first trip out with me and she LOVES IT. 🤘
@@LiteBrite bitten by the same bug as me, for sure. We’re heading back out to Rausch in 2 weeks, then VT in Oct, then to AOAA in Nov, and about once a month in the Northeast moving forward with my local club. Again, thank you. Y’all got us out there! Once I get the seat time, definitely want to join my club’s “travel team” (lovingly referred to as “the idiots” 😆 who hit the reds here in the NE and 9-pluses out there) and head out to Utah, Colorado, Cali, and maybe even the PNW.
The tail lights on that Lexus are the coolest understated taillights I've ever seen!!!! Whenever I had Toyota rock crawlers I intentionally did not modify the engine because the benefit was that I couldn't overwhelm the drivetrain I've even if I got bound up so I literally never broke anything in the drivetrain unless I did something completely dumb(which I was still capable of once in a while.)🥴
The Lexus LX450 is rated at 4.5L (212 HP) basically a Toyota Landcruiser. I think it did a good job for the trails it was on. Those are big ole' rocks!
I was hooked by the 1st. time catching StepChild climbing up "the chute" way back. Yup..., much better than cartoons; much more exciting & entertaining. Brit & Kevin letting us tag along is a hoot. Thanks *LBN kids! Oh! No offense, but @ 71; I can call you "kids"! M'tag of endearment & respect.... Stay safe...., kids!
OK, then it’s gonna be time for Kevin to do the “8-wheel-drive Stepchild” mod… that’s a “gravity switch power divider.” When you get over enthusiastic and flip it, the over-head additional 4 driving wheels kick in and Stepchild just keeps on keeping on until you flip it back! That’s when Ol’ George needs to hold your beer!! ;^)
You don't realize the beating the Stepchild takes till you see it in person. That Jeep along with it's owners were celebs this weekend at Jeep Invasion. Enjoyed the hell out of meeting you, Jelly and the Stepchild. Hope you guys come back next year. AND Thanks again for the Bilstein thermos. I can't wash now that you and Kev signed it. lol
The stepchild needs a flat belly conversion. Like something genright would do. I’m sure you guys would obviously do custom fab though. Make her more capable!
Wow...what a trail....krzy obstacles....amazing driving you 2..... Jelly is back and she loved the trail 🐶.... egarly awaiting your next video...Safe travels
Don't put a label on people. They don't like it, but won't say so. Abbey's out there doing all the fun stuff. Give her confidence. Let's enjoy this wheelin' and......enjoy.
Y'all find the neetest trails! Is that "Boulder" Colorado? How do you keep Jelly clean on these trails? Again, four different vehicles - that Lexus is pretty wild. A mule couldn't make that climb! LiteBriteNationCombination!
The Land Rover rig looks really built well. I can imagine there’s got to be an engine upgrade of some kind that would work if they were interested in doing so. Great content as always!!! Thanks!!
I think this proves why the Step Child needs 42s in order to compete, and have the same size tires as the buggy. Not that Kevin didn't do it, but that is all skill, and it would cut down on winching
You two need to organize a Veterans' Day Challenge charity event. LiteBrite versus a Marine Corps team vs an Army team, to see whose truck is king of them all. Heck, invite the Canadian and NATO and German teams too. Extra points for not using any demolition charges on the course!
Tarantula Hawk Wasp! Yes... they actually kill Tarantulas, although that one was killing a grasshopper. They lay their eggs inside the paralyzed Tarantula and the larva grows and eats off the still-living paralyzed Tarantula. I know, a little nerdy, but it's related to what I do for a living, lol.
horse power and torque are different horse power is for how much work can be done like generating electricity or how fast you can drive, torque is twisting force so how much force can be applied to a tire to make it spin, the Lexus isn't a horse power or a lack of torque problem more would help but lower gearing would solve the issue better
It’s got t-case under-drive gears(3.3:1) and 5.13 axle gears. Axle gears were chosen with the intentions of going LS in the future. I haven’t had the power/torque issues at lower altitude, I think Montrose is 8k feet of altitude, which is ~24% power loss
@@gregsmith717 that makes sense. Just saying even with the 3.3:1 tcase. I believe that trans first gear is 2.7:1 and that with the 3.3 and 5:13s nets you a 47:1 final drive crawl ratio. With 42s that's faaaar too high. And even with more hp/torque that'll help slightly but only to a point. Throwing bigger motor will help push through a bit but will mainly build heat in the trans more than anything. I run a LS in my Tacoma with th400/atlas5.0:1 and 5:13 with 40s. Since my gears are proper I basically idle through everything. Power is never a factor. All in all I dig the Lexus I just feel gearing is more important than power. Especially with crawling.
Man, that Lexus almost stalled the converter everytime it tried to go up something big. It will need more than just a bigger engine to get better - heck - it could use yet another lower ratio crawl gear. Edit : *Jelly-Belly is cheating on Brittany with Abby !!*
I didn’t know what the montrose trails were like and didn’t want to drag my jeep 300 miles out there for it to sit 😂 definitely will be going back with my jeep though!
Hey, I know it's been a while, but I don't remember seeing in a video where you switched from the 6 pack shocks to the Bilstein. What's up with that? Is there a video talking about it? Great videos, I love it! My (little) kids do too, so please keep 'em clean!
The 6 paks could not keep up with the hemi and the weight of the jeep with 1 tons and all the other mods. Bilstein has what it takes to compete at all levels
Watching lite brite videos on the weekend as an adult is like waking up early on the weekends to watch cartoons as a kid. It’s the same excitement.
😁🤙
4sure gotta heart these guys

‘Brit is just the Boss’. Amazing inspiration to girls and young women out there everywhere. Go off road.
Love the cheers Brittany gives when she gets up the wall.enjoy seeing the climbing you do.
Yeah! She hits high notes only my pet Dolphin can hear!
Crazy trail. That AC on the Lexus probably takes about 4 of those 87 ponies. 😀😀
That was definitely a hard trail and Brittany's go every buggy mastered it. Happy Trails to you both!

Always the best lines. Crazy what your rides can take. Always happy when a new video shows up!
I haven't run those trails for several years and this video makes me remember how much fun those trails are!
Watching Brit -- and hearing her triumphal giggles as she buggies over waterfalls -- is a great way to start the day. The Step Child needs 42s!
😁
Abby should be a spot light more often!! haha nice wheeling LightBright Crew
:)
Just say it, Abby is cute af lol
We saw you guys at the Smoky Mountain Jeep invasion yesterday! Y’all are living the dream that’s for sure.

Jelly-Belly was really enjoying that trail! Brittany and her Buggy continue to amaze!
Yeah, I saw Jelly-Belly getting pets from Abby in the background when Brittany was too busy with the camera. Smart doggy! 😁

Way to kick ass in the Sidechick Brittany...you make it look so easy! Safe travels to you all.
Be well be blessed 🙏
Xoxo to Jelly 💗
Remember to put floor mat on rock so winch cable isn't on rock. Another great video.
Love how you keep throwing your buggy out there Britney. Damn need to go to Colorado. Glad to see Jelly out spotting!! Can't wait for the next!🐾🐶😁😁
Great Video.. Jelly running after the buggy makes me nervous though. Keep her safe!! Love the antique plates on the Lexus.
The stepchild needs a flat belly conversion. Like something genright would do. I’m sure you guys would obviously do custom fab though. Make her more capable!
Wow...what a trail....krzy obstacles....amazing driving you 2..... Jelly is back and she loved the trail 🐶.... egarly awaiting your next video...Safe travels
Yeah, because you needed another beautiful bad ass women in your videos. Humility is just icing on the cake. Ashley has no reason to be shy.
And yet another spectacular video! Britt is get really good in her buggy and I love it! Much love from Louisiana
Britney is so funny, "yep, yep, there you go, perfect" !!! Her favorite words! LOL!!!
Don't put a label on people. They don't like it, but won't say so. Abbey's out there doing all the fun stuff. Give her confidence. Let's enjoy this wheelin' and......enjoy.
You both driving makes all obstacles seem easy. Sundays and wednesdays are great.
Excellent, fun to watch. Many very hard places. You guys do such a great job of filming. Thanks for sharing.
When the Stepchild is flexed @16:40 it makes the 40's look like a stock tire! :)
Brittany that buggy is badass and you rock it like it deserves.
Welcome Abby!!! Hopefully a permanent addition to Lite Brite videos????
maybe one day!

This is in montrose Co
Love you guy every Wednesday and Sunday. Makes my days!
while I have no interest in a trail like that, I loved the video, that's some crazy crawling there!
They are the best greetings from Ecuador🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨, keep it up🤙🏻, I hope one day to meet you 😊
The Land Rover rig looks really built well. I can imagine there’s got to be an engine upgrade of some kind that would work if they were interested in doing so. Great content as always!!! Thanks!!
The answer is always LS.
@@gregsmith717 came here to say this as well.
Adding a bit of gear to the T-case or axles would solve the problem...
@@jonaathansimons7938 t-case can’t go any lower, the axles have the second lowest gearing available for them(which was based on the intent to go LS).
Land Rover ????? I swear jeep follower know thing else but jeeps ! 🤣🤣🤣
Lite Brite Says, "Holy Crap!" Afterwords, the expression on Kevin's face was priceless. lol
That Lexus IS pretty sick!

87 horsepower + Kevin Wow 😲!!
I thought she looked familiar... I'm in a jeep group with Abby!
Your killing it with that buggy brit... keep on climbing 💪 👌 👍
Another great video guys! Thumbs up as always! 👍
Awesome awesome awesome vlog 👍🏽😎💜💜🙏🏽 very entertaining. Loving the bigger tires on britt's buggy. And yeah i guess Kevin's ok at spotting lol.
Looks like the big crawling :-)
Love to see the great experiance of all of you.

Love watching yall rock climb. Learn alot from your videos. Love Jelly
Not sure why you guys don’t have a million subs by now. Keep it up
Hi Abby! Nice to meet you!
A LITE BTIE VIDEO!! What a great Birthday Present!
Happy birthday!!
You guys should have called me!!! Great trail and great video as usual!!! Miss you both...well...all 3 (Jelly)!
Your tires definitely help make it look easy. My TJ is my daily driver biggest I dare is 35 inch.
By the way Brittany, belt or wire today?
Nice seeing Jelly rolling with you. Just had one of mine put down. Filming makes them last on
Colorado is one of our plans 2022... awesome video love it! 21 road and want to go do Choke Cherry trail in Farmington New Mexico
I know this isn't a build channel but would be really cool to see a buggy for Kevin built......Britney ;o)
& don't give up on the LS in Kevin's buggy 😜
Rocking the wall climb. That was awesome.
Follow Jelly, she knows the lines 😜. Brit, you're doing a great job!
Love seeing the LX crawling behind you guys, even if it's underpowered. Can't wait to see it after the Atlas upgrade. What's the plan for more power?
6.0 LS most likely, unless I come across a deal on a 6.2.
@@gregsmith717 I love it! All the Toyota fanbois heads will explode lol. I'd love to ditch the 4.slow in my 5th gen 4Runner and drop in a LS1 or 5.3.
You guys should try the other Calamity loop outside of Gateway, its doesnt get much use so it gets rough!
i got some cool dogs but jelly is all kindsa chill, knows to stay out of the way but close by, isnt scared by the action ... thats a cool dog
She’s the bestest pup.
You forgot to mention not only is Abby cute, she also has and is a badass jeeper
😁😁
@@RockyMountainJL haha, you're welcome! I swear Britt always leaves out the important stuff! 😉❤
I believe the actual quote would have been: "Hold my Ale!" ;)
Love your videos! Fun fact I actually went to school with Abby had no idea she knew you guys! ps you guys should do a meet and greet in Colorado!

Moar torque = moar good !
What Constitutes getting AntiquePlates in Texas? How old dose the vehicle have to be? What’s the advantage?
Great Sunday entertainment 😊
Cool trail! Definitely cool wheeling!
87 horse power and 1 kev power. All one needs
A winch blanket would have helped with the synthetic rope on rock issue. I carry 2.
Abby your in good hands.
I have watched so many video just to see either one of you get in the stepchild. It is so high I wanted to see how get in it!
ABBBBBYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
Every time i see this channel i think of the game lite bright.
The Lexus is so underpowered but makes do. Hemi swap🤔🤔
What kind of tires does Jud have?
40” Milestar Patagonia black label(sticky)
I’m surprised Abby didn’t bring her Jeep, that girl can wheel and has a very capable rig.

How's the buggy running without the sway bar on the left rear? Any weird handling issues?
No issues really noticed yet. A bit more loosey goosey at “higher” speeds headed to the beginning of the trail, but so far fine on the trail
