Going to miss Lite Brite Garage with Chris so much. Congratulations on the new baby and God speed my friend. Thank you for all the great clean entertainment that you have provided to us over the years. I hope you start your own channel so that we can follow along as you grow your tribe of young monsters.

23rd! Shock shafts, pistons, a gallon of fluid per shock! Fender liners, SEMA, Winter Jamboree and an entire change of life! Y’all sher know how to shake things up. Good job on this video Kevin - we expected no less. Stepchild IS a Monster! Finished? Never! LiteBriteNationShocksAgain!

The Step Child has been 'built' for some time, but man, when you are standing next to it, it's so dang tall, it looks like something that you would see as part of a "Monster Truck" stadium show!

Chris should do his own channel so that he can have a 2nd income (real job & youtube). Maybe he & his lady can learn how to edit. It can simply be “A daily life with Chris”.

They are going to keep building this Jeep until 1. it’s useless 2. It becomes a Carolina squatter 3. Whistlindiesel is tired of seeing it, buys it then puts it through his special safety testing procedure to see if it’s worthy

I thought the reason for keeping the exhaust Chris made was to be able to have an exhaust on the jeep while the new one was out getting coating?
@LiteBrite4 ай бұрын
The old exhaust is just a catback, unfortunately, and we sent off the downpipes and cats as well to be coated. 😅

You should try one of those percussion massage guns to help get bubbles out. I'm sure you can 3d print / fab a head for it that fits perfectly on the shock to shake it
@Daveinet4 ай бұрын
Gorilla Proof Tools makes an Allen Wrench that will not round out. Ultimately, before you drill out the bolt or screw, take a chisel and catch the edge of the screw and hammer on it. Often times, the chisel will bight into the head and force the screw to turn.

You should take her north, north and do some serious snow wheelin with her. Up in Kelowna British Columbia Canada there is a serious adventure club with a nice set of rigs that would give the Step Child a run for her money. You would need to put bigger wheels on her though to make it where they go

I saw a nice Weatherhead hose crimping machine on the end of one of the steel benches. I know this machine very well I've made a lot of replacement hyd hoses from 430 series very high pressure where you have to skive the rubber off the outside so you crimp directly to the steel braid inside to low psi U series fittings. The fittings on the shocks look like Parker brand fittings. Do you guys do both and if so why?

In one of your videos, Chris mentioned that the Stepchild prefers an 1/8" toe out, why is that? Also how does it affect tire wear?

Yes, as you say, the camera doesn't really capture the loudness...have someone outside holding the camera and trying to describe the loudness in normal and then louder voice to act as comparison. Many street racers would love for their rides to be that loud...and now they know how to do it.

It looks like the driver front tire is going to touch the hoses. Driver side stuffed, passenger dropped out while turning left. Pick up the passenger rear tire with the forklift and test before you go wheeling.

I don’t know where in the video that money was ever mentioned? Chris and Pam are grown adults who have decided, understandably, that they want more stability in their life when they start their family & while living under their own roof rather someone else’s. We could try handcuffing Chris to the lift, but I doubt he’d appreciate it.
