Preparing Our Jeep & Ford for an Off Road Trip Across the Country! 

Name the trailer the Child Seat since that’s how you get the kids from place to place.

I have been using the FIRST company to make 100% Synthetic. Amsoil. They created the oil in 1972. It is made here in the USA not overseas. I use a 25,000 mile oil in my Jeep and Honda. I do change the oil in the Jeep every 7500 miles though because I use my Jeep for off-roading. I use Amsoil products in the transmission, diffs, coolant, power steering fluid and grease. Well anywhere it needs fluids.

I like Child Seat, but I think Child Stroller works even better since you can carry more than one"Child" at a time. Have fun!

You should check out Project Farm. Liquid Moly lost the shootout to Amazon Full Synthetic. Amsoil was the winner in the all out shootout. As for the Additive for friction reducer. You should try Mororkote. He ran a motor with it in for 30 min. Drained it and ran the motor for an hour with water instead for oil and at the end he had zero compression lost. If you're being sponsored by Liquid Moly I guess keep running it but I don't think it's worth the high price. Love your videos and love what you guys are doing. Can't wait for the finished build video for the Demon Child!

From learning about oil, to NAPA, fixing the truck, to Nitto stuff, to why you buy the things you do. I guess what I learned from this great video is how to buy stuff for my jeep and get away with it. As always, you guys are such a influence on me. I'm at that very impressionable age you know. I'm turning 65 tomorrow and don't feel a day over 21.

Hi lite brite, I just want to thank you for everything you do for your supporters! I love watching your videos becausd they always make my day, I love you all so much and have a great day!❤️❤️

Well Sir, here is some reality for the times. I have a mechanical engineering degree. I have a US patent and several foreign patents. I have worked with turbo machinery for nearly the past two decades. I wish I could spend a year working and learning from someone like you, because there is so much you could teach me. Beck is getting a masters class. Cudo’s to Beck for embracing everything. I am legitimately jealous of what she is clearly embracing! I hope to meet you all some day in the future!

As always great video. Awesome to see people do what they love to do surrounded by the people they love and having a great time. PB & J are so 😎. Safe travels.

The trailer................................ Baby Carriage 🤣

Chris is such a good mechanic. Dude makes it look so easy 😭

Preventative maintenance is very important and can't be stressed enough. I am glad you guys dedicate time to it.

Get some DOT reflective tape (red/white) and cut the white sections out and put them in the mud flaps. The white would match the white truck and the letters would be reflective.

Loved seeing y'all at Jeep Invasion. Already planning for next year with 4 times the budget for next time. Thank y'all again. You are truly genuine.

*Get an Amsoil membership and the pricing will be close to the cost of Fully Synthetic oils. The membership fee is minimal and easily pays for itself in a situation like yours, having several engines.* 🙂

Better you spending your money and enjoying the heck out of life,than giving it to an out of control Gubbermint! Another great video from my favorite team!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Rock On!

Lots of prep work to an epic road trip. Can't wait to see the follow up. Until next time... Travel safe.

The trailer has to be "The Stroller" like come on haha

That's why we only run Amsoil synthetic products in everything we own. And their filters are made by Hastings.

It's great to dive deep to decide what oil to use. I myself stick with Amsoil since it is 100% synthetic and I use it in a turbo engine. But I think it is most important to just use the proper grade, ensure it meets the minimum requirement as far as designations go *and most importantly change it at the appropriate intervals.* If you have severe service or temps then reduce the time between changes and never exceed the "regular" or "recommended" intervals. The key is not really which "good" oil is better than the other but that it is changed before it "needs" (too late) to be changed... 🙂

Amsoil for me! I've been using it since 2002 and its good stuff. That being said, it's not just about the oil quality. A major part of keeping that engine running smooth and at peak performance is how well that oil is filtered. I've used liquid molly, and it is good stuff. However, I wouldn't stop there. Kevin, you inadvertently said it. You were able to filter out 2lbs, and I'm assuming you felt better, Lol. 🤣🤣🤣 Well, your engine is no different. Another great video, happy trails!

You guys are completely awesome, love your energy and videos.

I'd name the trailer "ball & chain" because you have to take it everywhere 😂😂. No I don't call my wife that!! Love the videos. Thanks for sharing guys.

I told Matts off-road recovery a ton of times invite lite brite and they did!!! WooHoo!!!

The trailer could be the Nanny or Daycare. I missed you guys at the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. I was there Friday and looked everywhere but couldn't find you. Oh well, next time.

What up Lite Brite fam. You could call the trailer the Stroller!

Fun and Games with ChildSupport! Chris makes it look easy again, when you have the knowledge and skills. Kevin rules, according to “Oil”! Rain! We watched your lightning from our patio for hours - exhilarating! We love seeing Brittney’s puppies! Then, Christmas in August and a road trip with all the kids - what fun! LiteBriteNationFamilyVacation!

To me as a lubrication specialist I must say, always follow the manufacturer recommendations and oil type and changes is the single biggest maintenance item to get you 100s of thousands of miles even out of a bad engine type. nice one Kevin.

Living your best lives! Modern jeeps look weird with the windshield down. When I had my FJ-40, I wheeled it with the windshield down mostly due to visibility. Plus, it just looked cool.

I just pull the windshield off of my Gladiator and leave it in the garage. I once did 97 MPH with it off and the plastic around the top started to fold inward. Now I keep it below 80 MPH with no problems. The wife lady does not enjoy it. Thank you for your time

kevin, my suggestion for naming the trailer is "the stroller"

I love these “Get ready” videos!!!! Much love from Louisiana

Thank You for using NAPA my Hubby's side of the Family owns the one in Roanoke, Texas.. 🙂!!!!!

The liquid Molly and ceratec works ! I’ve seen an immediate increase in MPG ! I have a 2008 jk with a 392 , I will continue to use both products!

*Amsoil is also 100% synthetic. I believe other oils are not since one of the oils designations require them to have a natural base oil as a component.* 🙂

I had never even heard of Liqui Molly oil until my wife bought a 2020 VW GTI and I started ordering the oil-change kits from FCP Euro. They send Liqui Molly oil in their kits. I figured it was a good-quality oil, because FCP Euro has a good reputation for selling quality stuff for European cars. But I didn't realize it was *THAT* good. Wow! I'll start using it in my Bronco (which I finally get to pick up this Saturday! Yay!!) once I get to the point where I need to do an oil change in it.

Work having fun. We love you.

Bec right, nail it. Chris always having fun. Nitto stuff rocks.

See you at crandon!! Awesome you're coming again!!

I love that fix it Felix reference from Chris

Baby sitter.. and jealous of the Nitto Gear 🥹

Premium oils are definitely worth the money. I've done oil analysis's comparing the Pennzoil Platinum Jeep recommends in my 2.0 compared to AMSOIL SS. The AMSOIL holds its viscosity much better even after 10k miles on it compared to 5k on the Pennzoil. I like it so much I became a dealer for it. I'm sure you'll have great results with Liqui Moly as well.

Crazy to see the amount of prep that goes into a cross country trip like this. It was great meeting you guys Saturday! (I was the big dude Kevin was talking to about the Step Child's Weight vs Demon Child, and talking with Brittany about how much the Demon Child would cost if you were just to buy it from AMW). Can't wait to see the Windrock vid. Hopefully one day my own rig will be built enough to hang with you guys (right now it's just a JLU Sport with a 2" lift and 35s). Keep up the awesome videos!

If you like that car show you have to come to Michigan in august for the Dream Cruise. 12 mile car show/cruise with EVERYTHING in it and burn out zones.

Can't wait to see you guys in Crandon again!

Excited to see this trip!

Not sure if Liqui Moli even sells a 100% synthetic oil in the US., they only indicate "fully synthetic". But Amsoil has 100% synthetic oil.

Jelly 🤗, Kevin I love that site for oil, my Grandpa used to always tell me that they were the same. I had to show him how they graded oils. Have a wonderful week!!!❤❤💯🤙

We didn’t wait in the line to meet the gang but we ran into Brittany’s mom when she took peanut to go potty in the grass and chatted with her for a min. Your mom was sooo nice and down to earth! Have fun at windrock!

I have driven a CJ7 with the windshield down. That makes more sense as you don't have the frame behind it. The roll bar is lower so you have more clearance. On the freeway, it is a bit windy. Too bad they gave you a stupid leatherman. Once you have a Gerber, you never will go back. All of the tools can be opened with a single hand. Also when you squeeze it, the tools are inside the frame, so they don't hurt your hand.

I have drove at the beach with it down. So much fun

On the front flaps you should have left the old broken piece that was molded to the wheel well in place because. The new flap looks like crap without the molded section filled in.

I really like the oil education, I had no idea...

That NAPA is sweet. That bolt section is really nice, too. It's always good to find a knowledgeable auto parts store and support them. They're getting pushed out of a lot of cities because of redevelopment. The one's here were pushed to the edge of town or are in unincorporated areas.

Liqui Moly is from Germany. Amsoil is US made. Both are nearly identical in their synthetic breakdown. (different chemistries of course) You can't go wrong with either. I would suspect if you ordered Amsoil in bulk it would be a lot cheaper having them drop pallets than picking up oil at NAPA.

Let me guess Brittany, Kevin bought you the car he always wanted. You guy's are the best, what a team what a family, what a blast, love you all ❤ One day I'll make an event and meet PB&J 😘

Set the valves opposite sides. This will aid in balancing and makes it easier to find the valve of the inside tire. Also they make lug spacers to fill the gap between the lug stud and the wheel. Some call it wheel centering spacers

I need one of those large sun hats with the tire tread bottom to protect my bald head, they look awesome. Just send me one to Heber please. 😂

What a good show. I have enjoyed watching this very much.

The Nitto / Lodge cast iron skillet is awesome! Keep that thing forever! (Unless you send it to me. 😅). Love you guys and have a blessed week!

I've always found that it's better to change the oil every 5K miles. It's always better to keep the oil fresh so that you don't wear out your engine. Whatever happened to Brittany's craw buggy? Happy Trails to all of you!

GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BIG SURPRISE!

Good seeing yall at Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion again this year. Safe travels back home.

great video.. thanks for sharing

Hello jeep family! You r loved! 🥰

Yes Kevin ,,, Yes we do , and mine always says “No , no , you cant have one of those “ every time i watch your videos so im stuck with my 6 cylinder Jeep 😂😂😂

33 plus minute video, felt like it was only 5 minutes long. just love watching u guys, you all seem to get along great!

I missed Smokey mountain Jeep invasion I was really looking forward too it .. i had a small transmission leak. A Line fixed now After coming back from a week of camping 🏕 Have a good time ✅💯

Been on liquid moly for years in my v6 pentastar and even my 2011 chev truck.

11:51 "show us your new puppies"

My napa stores around me are not like that lol.. I got in trouble with my wife at the end with the people already have wife’s at home comment 😂 I looked at her when he said that 😂😂😂😂

PB is so chill.

So not sure if this was said or caught yet... but the ceratec, which I use in both my f350 and my 2001 xj IS NOT FOR WET CLUTCHES... NOT FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.... I assume it would cause serious slippage... but idk... but no good for A/T trans! That stuff is amazing though! Made my pretty well built 6.0 p-stroke super duper quiet!

Kevin, I thought for sure you were gonna get it at 33:01 🤣

Mobil1 full synthetic has always had a high moly content. I found out around 1985 when I sent an oil sample to Blackstone for analysis. The concept of "liquid moly" irks me, since moly doesn't turn liquid until you hit temperatures that would incinerate your car.

Great content as always! All of you guys together make one sweet recipe. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

buddy!yeah,fantastic ~see you later!

That Peachy Keen Monster is awesome.

I'm on my 8th jeep since 1986. 6 CJ s..a YJ...and now a TJ..IVE never put the windshield down on any of them..lol

Car seat ! I agree

Windshield down is great for shooting.

Baby carriage! That's a no brainer!

Back in 77 when I have my renegade we put the windshield down a lot off road but in PA at the time you couldn't have it down on road To my knowledge. But it's not worse than right in a motorcycle. Jeep has tie Downs to hold the windshield down Back in the day that came with the Jeep lol

Kevin, I believe your confusing fully synthetic with synthetic blend, which you would be correct is only 10% synthetic 90% conventional oil.

I guess I missed something with the oil because those bottles you had on the table said "fully synthetic" not 100% synthetic, and I did look up those specs.

I wish I would've seen this before so I could buy the cage from you and meet in Tennessee 🥺 bring it to Florida for me lol

@ 33:19 Peanut is asking for the backpack to be used as her puppy support bag.

DOT requires that valve stems are 180 degrees from each other.

Ok if Nitto is watching feel free to send me the cooler with all the goodies as I live in Ontario Canada

"Babysitter" for the trailer. NAPA is good where I live. Also, NAPA oil I was told is Valvoline and is much cheaper than Valvoline but the same thing. The skillet with the tire tracks on the bottom, that is sick. Can you buy that stuff?

If your really wanting to learn about oil in a easy setting, check out Gale Bank’s videos here on RU-vid. It dives into the technicals a bit by actually interviewing the people who make the stuff every day.

I drive my Cj2a with the windshield down always. Because my head almost sticks over the top anyway. Ha ha

L.M. oil kicks ass. good choice

Ran a claimed “all” synthetic engine oil where the manufacture spec. stated a blend. One noticeable difference was cam to follower, (DOHC engine), lash noise increase.

Real Men play old school Horse shoes. Props to Snap On! 💪

Lessons learned stick harder when you pay out of your own pocket. Lol Nice upgrades to the FJ..

Chris, on the big rigs the valve stems are put opposite each other for balancing.

Trailers name is the school bus. And you're going on a field trip!!!!

There was another good suggestion; however, Christine says the trailer name should be Play Pan. Hope you guys had fun at the Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion. Would have liked to see you guys there; but, our schedule didn’t work out with the times you guys were there.

dam I love the horse shoes

27:29 DANG Nitto 💥
