Also I'm not sure but it's possible they can tune the trans to have RWD as an option. Will have to wait until mine arrives.

I agree. I think a tuner will fix most of my issues. They are minor. The jeep is a beast and I would do it all again even with the 9 month wait.
that's cool. I would consider a tune that eliminates the cylinder de-activation, eliminates the top speed and makes the transmission shift a bit more aggressively. I doubt I would notice the extra 20-40hp too much, but that's all gravy

A tune with MDS delete kit and hotter cam will get you easily over 500whp on pump gas. That you should feel in the seat.

Flex fuel with some E85 and air flow mods Fastman TB, ported intake manifold, Some sort of intake and straighten out that exhaust flow I'd say mid 11's. If you want to get crazy have QUOTE a few buddies that have a 150 shot on that 6.4 and take to it quite well. Here's a guy by me. Think he pulled a 12.8 but limiter got him.

Those forced induction kits are pretty safe to 8psi too before needing some forged internals. You can really make the 6.4 a beast of a beast.

Lots of wiggle room for sure. I'd be cautious of FI so many rods have given the blocks Air conditioning lol. Well could always upgrade the internals. Biggest reason didn't tune the HC. All considered it is a Wrangler I'd be happy with 500-550whp. I have a spare set of Devils Rims wrapped in 555r2's that I'm selling. If I get my Wrangler and still have them might throw them on Haha.

I think most people could do what lite Brite, does, they do nothing special, ....

I've never watched any car videos for for chick, that's what porn and strip clubs are for...
I think you are severely underestimating how much work she puts into recording with good quality, editing and posting the videos. It is a lot of work. Most of the car videos on Youtube are horrendous to watch. Shaky cameras, poorly lit, difficult to hear, etc.

Britney (and TrailRecon) are one of the very, very few people that actually know how to produce a quality vehicle video. They invest in equipment, the editing time, etc.

It is a lot of work and quality is no accident. And the fact that you have a pleasantly looking woman doing it is a bonus.

So yeah, while I think their 392 video is a butthurt childish piece, that does not invalidate their channel and work.

Interesting. Did they happen on a hard obstacle/ledge/or such? Any more details you can share?
Both on rock climbs searching for traction. Wheels spinning a bit looking for traction and they they grab as warmed up a bit and then the CV failed.

Neither looked to be overly judicious use of the go pedal either.

But it is also similar to where my FAD decided to leave this planet but I was going down it.

Quality of the videos is excellent. Content is usually pretty good.

LiteBrite makes a living off of YouTube videos. Editing videos can be time consuming so hats off to them. I have a hard time knocking anybody at a personal level who has a job to support themselves and their kin. That seems something anybody should respect even if the products or opinions shared aren't everyone's cup of tea.

This is very true. They beat the living piss out of their jeep and wonder why it's had problems. It will be very interesting to see how long they can get the Bronco to last.
I don’t think they are wondering why it has issues lol. They explicitly have mentioned they beat the crap out of it and know it’s why they have issues with it. C’mon if you watched the channel you’d know instead of making false statements.

Again, if you actually modified a car in the past, you would understand why people prefer factory engine over after market...the car is much cleaner coming from the factory than having to make mods that don't fit as nicely as out of the factory, plus it's just more money around 36k for a hemi engine swap...a little lesson for you, so cars are built at specific engineering out of the factory, so when you do a simple lift kit for example, it throws the chemistry, of how the whole car drives, out the window, unless you tweak almost every other area of the car that was affected

I think most people could do what lite Brite, does, they do nothing special, maybe it was hard when they first started...but honestly they don't pay for any upgrades or events, it's funded by sponsors and dumb fan boys, like yourself...I have a 2 post car lift in my garage too, does that make me special too? Should I make videos offering my take on the 392?

The answer is no, because nobody would care, kind of like I don't care about worthless lite brite...and secondly I have a real job instead of asking fan boys to help pay my bills, I guess he has to be nice and polite to every fan he sees in person...cuz they pay his bills! 🤣

I've never watched any car videos for for chick, that's what porn and strip clubs are for...I guess if I wanted to make a better channel than these lite Brite peeps, all I'd have to do is pay a stripper to make appearances, and it would probably get a ton of views from idiots, don't even need to say anything about cars with that marketing model 🤣

Also, most people on YouTube are fake famous, hate to break it to you! They usually pose at other people's mansions or cars and give the appearance of a life of luxury lol which honestly just doesn't appeal to me

Rather watch motor trend, car and driver, motor biscuit, autoevolution, literally any other automotive publication, quadratec, etc. Over some dumb youtube personalities! 🤣
Go test your theory and get back to us when you have a 100k subscribers.
