The first (and only) shakedown run for my rock crawling rig before it competes in the Off Road Games put on by Matt's Off Road Recovery! And other than the brakes not really working well (who needs those anyways?), everything else is going GREAT....you know, except for the water leaking out of my tires!

Definitely like Kevin narrating without the cackling and constant directions. The gal has an off-road skillset. Props to Kevin for the DeWoody run when y’all first started.
I really like to watch Brittany and her side chick craw up those obstacles. I see that she's gaining more confidence driving it. Happy Trails to you both.
I love hearing Kevin's commentary along the way. A great learning video here. Well done Kev and great driving Britt.
The Pebble bouncer rides again!!
Killer rock crawling Brittany. Happy Trails girl.
Not too bad for a youtube model in a tail dragger. Seriously, excellent calm collected gutsy driving. Love it. And the buggy works! Chris is a master mechanic and fabricator.
That kid in the jungle gym is definitely going to break his hand when he goes over.
Brittany’s buggy got bugs in brakes? No bueno! Nice to be moving close to your own back yard! Lookin’ good Kevin. John’s crawler looks great; capable too. Tools? We don need no stinking tools! Water in front wheels - so no wheelies? LiteBriteNationChicksOnTheSide!
It’s amazing what that Buggy can do! So much fun to watch!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm enjoying the Kevin line discussion! Something new over previous wheeling videos.
Great seeing the buggy out again!! New passenger too?
That side chick is awesome! Buggy's cool, too. 😅
Side chick is so capable and Brittany has really stepped up her game and comfort level behind the wheel of it also. Thanks you two as always for the great content. Oh and thx Chris for fixing up all the toys before you go you Wizard.
Love you guys. So glad your back to trail riding. Glad to see brit back in her new and improved buggy..
Cool! The trail looks amazing 🤩
I was bending the brake pedal on my buggy with a 7/8 . I swapped to 3/4 and it's much easier to push.
Just wanted to thank Kevin and Brittany for inviting us to join them on the sidechick shake down. Brittany made it look easy !! Our goal was to test some new tires on the Pebble Bouncer without having to send it , I think we accomplished that. Thanks to Kevin's spotting and on trail teaching tips my son did a great job !! Thank you Chris and Bec for rebuilding the Pebble Bouncer...we will be adding grab handles and a twin stick...hope to do more trails with you guys soon...Thanks again for everything!!
I lust for your buggy more than ever!!! What a machine, Britt.
Super Swampers are the best!
Super swamper DOT's are better than Mickey Thompson MT or BFG kM3 or any of them. They make the toughest stickest off-road tires you can buy hands down .
swamper fan here. your buggy is ready for a california run with the jeep. fordyce???
Good to see you guys back on the trails...
Great to see you back on the rocks again 😁❤
Brittney don't need brakes tell Chris cut a hole in the floor she can put her feet down like the Flintstones cartoon
Brittany u are one hell of a driver
That buggy is a beast!
belle, souriante et diablement efficace au volant... Bravo !
*for those that don't speak that dialect, "beautiful smiling and devilishly efficient at the wheel"
12:30 - and there's that the buggy is so light that it doesn't push down on the tyres enough to get as much grip as they could generate. Scrubbing that top layer off is the same in oval track, road course, all the way up to Formula 1.
great job again.
It's awesome 🎉🎉🎉you guys kicked butt a Mat's ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice job Brittany 👍
Britt that was some pretty sick crawling
You guys are screwed with no Chris. Dude is a craftsman.
Great job Brittany
Great video, you guys are the best!! ❤️❤️💯🤙
Call a plumber. We got leaks...😂
I’m running those same 42” SX II’s in the competition compound and to say they’re soft is an understatement. Interco has been basically buying them back because they’re so soft that rigs with any horsepower are shredding them. That orange buggy sounds like it might have 100hp along with a bad wrist pin or rod bearing so spinning them tires too much isn’t likely to happen..lol. You guys are gonna have to ditch the Bilstein wrap now that your team ADS.
The orange buggy sounds like an old gas forklift, which judging from the LPG bottle may not be too far from the truth 🤣
We haven't had to buy back any SXII Comps tires. Some individuals who were unfamiliar with using soft and sticky tires did tear some up because they didn't know how to use them, and broke them in incorrectly. We worked with those customers as a courtesy only. That's how we treat our customers. Other than a coupkl of users, the vast majority of people, including the novice in this video, can use them without any issue. Soft and sticky tiresfunction better than high horsepower muscle, and low PSI water filled tires. Unlike a DOT tire that needs lower psi to flex and grip, a sticky needs downward force. A tire wired to low, and then "juiced" or "sent" will roll the lug over, and over torque it. Damage caused to a tire like this -is user error and not the tires construction. If someone is not familiar with the true competition compound, they probably should stick to the DOT models. We believe that the tires you choose should match the capabilities of your vehicle, the trail you are running on, and the knowledge of the person driving. This tire seen in the video is available in both a COMP and DOT version.
Really love the wheeling tips you share with us. Just need to find a fabricator equal to the fit and finish that Chris does so I can get a buggy built. Thanks for sharing.
Who is the girl riding shotgun with Brittney? I don’t recognize her..
Love your videos Sweetie 👍👍👍😘😘
Well Kevin I hope you will show Chris how good his work is Brittany buggy is handling better than ever it runs even better than it did when you 1st got that machine.
May 31 through 3 June we’re going to be at the Rubicon if you’re interested
I like these Kevin infomercials during the video.
If you're really going to be traveling again, would love to show you around the Black Hills... some really underrated wheelin' here 😊
More wheeling videos, awesome!
For the brakes you can adjust the pivot or linkage position to get more leverage.
hey lite bright . If you want more stopping power/less petal effort. You use SMALLER master cylinders not larger. The only catch is it will take more petal travel so it is IMPORTANT that you dont run out of travel.
I refuse to let anyone drive my vehicles. Lol People barely respect what they own, never mind what someone else owns. That being said, I would love to drive Side Chick! Chris nailed it as always. Going to miss him. That orange buggy needs some grab handles inside for the driver. I cringed when he put his hand outside the cage and held the bar. That is a bad practice to get into.
Wait who’s the chick riding shotgun? Holy smokes!
😜
What's even crazier is that is propane rig!
Kevin the wife afraid of the power the buggy has now? SEND IT!!! 🤦🏻♂️
What is the wheel base of the orange buggy and the side chick please? I agree this is great content!!
Hydroboost ftw!
Hydroboast for the brakes
You should call this buggy “Superman” Faster than an airplane, more powerful than a locomotive, Thanks
It is Nice to see you back on the Trails. But it whas also Nice to se you roa The world abroad in The middld East. You chould build a capeble overlander and go for jungle and desert Adventures you make such Nice content both abroad and AT home.
For someone that doesn't know shit about crawling...... thanks for the info and tips....
👍❤️ #Jellynation
These crawl videos are fire guys! 🔥🔥🔥 Keep 'em coming! 💪🏻😎🤠
Cool video like always I hope you stay in the video it's makes me you selling your House your team one of the best on KZhead
I noticed with engine running with a close up of the gauges she had no oil pressure.
She should have put Oris on the buggy.
You would get a better hydraulic ratio to the brakes with smaller pistons in the master
What # chassis is this Bomber Chassis. I know its a really old one that Randy built. But curious on what year and # it is?
Great tip Kevin, brake and throttle control.
What camera do you use it’s really good
Living your best lives! Are you guys going to the WE Rock Nationals in Farmington, NM?
I don’t think we’ll make it out for that, unfortunately (though we wish we were!)
9:45 - Oh yeah.
I hope they fixed the compound in the SX II’s. If they make them in a 45” with the better compound I’ll be first inline.
When is kevin getting a red dot? :)
Nothing like waking up to a great crawling shake down. Great work Chris. Very clean! Brit was smiling the whole time. Kevin got his work out and loved it. I am looking forward to watching many more videos. Maybe you guys should have a crawl off between StepChild and the buggy, a fair one. Or play follow the leader. Thanks for the great content. Love you guys. And Chris. And your dogs. Have a great day.💯🤙👍👊
This Gorgeous girl can farkinnnnn Wheel 🎡 Nicely done beautiful 😘😘 WELL DONE CHRIS. You are Amazing Dude, That Buggy is Next Level.. 😉 😉 😉 Love from The Land Down Under 😘 😘 😘 😘
Love the Side Chick videos.
That orange machine is a purpose built rock bouncer. It's built to eat, not crawl.
👍
I think that buggy needs a new ADS/Nitto wrap…
It's incredible how you guys make it look so easy. 🤯
I thought a smaller master will result in higher line pressures, but less fluid moved. So you've decreased brake line pressure by increasing master cylinder size. I think you want to go down to something like a 3/4" master cylinder...
I forget, is that a 5.0, 351 or 302 .. roller motor ?
302
Kevin, don't never say never. Awesome shack down, Brittany
those new tires are maybe good compound, but the thread is not good for rock climbing. The knobs are way too high, with too less rubber actually in contact with the underground. This is more a tire for mudding how it is now.
In the video, you can see the SXII tire which has the same pattern as the number one off-road and rock bouncing tire in the world, the 43" SX. The only difference between the 42" SXII and the 43" SX is where they are made and the pre-grooved center lugs. The Comp Compound on these tires is slightly softer than that of the 43" SX Sticky. The 43 outperforms all other sticky comp tires on the market, but you don't see them often because we refuse to pay for exposure or give them away for free like some other well-known name brands (have) to do. We believe both tires are excellent for rock crawling as well as trail and mud.
That was really great to see Brittany crawl the buggy up the rocks!
Just like Brittany said how words cannot describe how much she misses her buggy, words cannot describe how much I absolutely love her buggy! If I ever have the opportunity to buy/build one myself one day I am probably going to model it off a combination of her buggy and your guys ultra 4 car. By far my favorite vehicles I’ve ever seen.
She looks beautiful. And so does the side chick. Lol jk great job Chris. Can't wait to see more wheeling videos. God bless take care.
Side chick flexes better now.
TOO EASY WAY TO EASY Need to find some harder trails.
No sand slayers wtf
I can totally relate to not enjoying exercise unless it’s something like this haha
Brakes? Who Needs Brakes 😂 Like the Italian Race car drivers, Rearview Mirrors Who needs them? As they Pull them off the Windshield! 😂😂 I would Love to Drive her Buggy! Only Problem would be that if I Broke it, I couldn't afford to Fix It! I'd have to work for free for a few years to pay for It 😢😢
I know you went with AdS on the jeep but the last couple videos kinda solidify you aren’t partnered with Bilstein anymore. Has that been addressed that I missed?
Yes! We talked about it during some of the ADS stuff with Stepchild. But basically we’re no longer exclusive with any shock company - which is exciting because we can test out new things and run whatever works best for different projects. 😊 Bilstein are still awesome people & great products!
@@LiteBrite good to know. I watched all those vids, my wife probably yelling at me and I missed it. It’s nice to have options with shocks. There’s a lot of good choices out there.
More people should learn how to two- foot it, makes wheeling easier and smoother for sure!
Lol err cut!
Tools? Who needs tools when you have a Chris?
Kevin, you weren’t wrong about it binding up. I could see the binding of the drivetrain. The buggy was just strong enough to overcome it. Be very careful street driving with water in the tires. Half full is dangerous for emergency braking. It sloshes and acts like a dead blow hammer and will push you forward. 90% full of water is less sketchy, but you better have your brakes dialed to the max. No manual brakes!
The road I’d drive on is only about a .5 mile stretch, just to get to the rocks (and under 40 mph).
@@LiteBriteJust be careful, because I’ve done it and it was an no go, for me. Under 20 is more realistic. And for the love of hay Zeus, get a booster of any kind. Or Britney is going to look like a meme of a girl that only works out on leg day.
It's really odd to see a rock bouncing chassis used with a low horsepower engine to do rock crawling.....
Nash mosh pits are the worst 🤣
First from Syria 😂❤
Does that mean your tires are giving birth??
Why are you using ADS? What happened to BillS?
We haven’t worked exclusively with Bilstein for a while now, which is awesome because it allows us to use and test whatever suspension setups work best for our projects. 😊🤙
Those tiny hat people don't like it when others point out their hypocrisy
Red label sticky Mickys.
