We Install RCV Performance Axles on Our Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon! 

And for those of you who'd like to help support our channel, use the following link to knock out the rest of your last minute holiday shopping! amzn.to/2E8qlrt And although we haven't officially announced it yet, our website is up and we've got some Lite Brite gear available as well! litebritestudios.com

It's always crazy seeing Yukon Gear and Axle products in shops in videos I've watched. About 23 years ago i worked at the company that created that brand, Randy's Ring and Pinion, now known as Randy's Worldwide. Kinda bummed to find out Randy sold the company but I'm sure he's out enjoying his life instead of hanging around the shop all the time lol

Half way through the vid, already learned so much! Thanks A TON for the simple yet thorough explanation as to why this is an important upgrade. As always. Keep it up, guys!

Had a guy on our last outing going up a hill and had exactly what you’re talking about happen. U joint snapped which then snapped ball joints and next thing ya know wheel, caliper rotor everything snapped off the Jeep. Took us 6 hours to get him off the trail and onto a trailer. So glad I put RCV in mine. Seriously though the bungee cord is the oldest trick in the book. Always carry a bungee and bailing wire

Great to see this up-grade BEFORE you guys snapped an axel! Looks like you've picked a great shop - love these builds. Now you can put those spider gears to work!

Those are sweet! Congrats on the upgrades!

I'm definitely going to upgrade my axles in my chevy. I'm so thankful for these very informative videos you guys share with us. Many thanks!

great job on the video, lots of love have a blessed day!

I dont even own a jeep this channel makes me want to buy one

I put RCV axles in my Dynatrac pro 44 love them had them in for about 10 years with zero problems replaced dust covers once.

Wow twice the strength and no questions asked warranty..I’m sold.

Thumbs up. Off roading is in ones blood. It's a culture.

Great video! There was nothing "Jeep 101" about this video. I honestly can't keep up with all these Jeep mods. You just threw me a curve ball. This is an upgrade that never crossed my mind before. Looking forward to seeing your next breaking video.

Thank you. I have been afraid of my Dana 30 breaking. I was thinking about how to replace it, but now I see I can just upgrade the axles. I used to have a 1949 CJ3A and it had 6 ball CV joints. I loved them. I don't know why Jeep cheaped out and used U-joints. I love your channel and watch it a lot. I think your are a little crazy sometimes with what you do, but you are so entertaining. Keep up the great work.

Cool, good video have to give this some consideration.

I had these in my Pro Rock and they worked great. Four pumps of grease every tire rotation was all they need lube wise. I noticed these in your Steer Smarts video so I thought this was coming. You will like them.

Great mod !!! That will be in my future

That powerwagon is gonna be sick!

Another good upgrade part to put on my wish list!!! I got to say that little rat rod jeep in start was cool but I like you go more for off road!!! Love it Keep it up!

I already did the RCV Front axles in my 2008 JKUR back in 2010 when I changed gears to 5.38's.. Just be sure you grease them regularly, thru the end. Uses a needle point gun tip. Jeep had I think roughly 10k on it when installed. Am at 61K now. Running 35" tires. I also did inner and outer sleeves along with C-gussets to the axle housing. Made my own truss. So, front end is stout now.. Never a bit of problems all this time off roading, or using the SNOW PLOW (Western HTS 7.5) here in NE Okla..

Another “we install free shit on our JL and try to sell it to you before we test it at all” video! Way to go guys.

Great upgrade. My JL is a money hole sometimes, But I love it!!

Just have to comment one thing that's one sick Jeep at the beginning!!

I run RCV in my TJ, with dana 44 and OX locker in front (with full truss). 4:88 gears. Love it

An unstoppable Jeep!!

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 👍

That Fj was sick. Would love to have that. The Power Wagon would be great for hauling all my kids around. And my wife would look good in that thing! Great video guys have a merry christmas!

Mod roll up. I was curious what all the mods you guys have done would cost. Not counting sales and donations, parts would come to about $11,512. Not bad at all considering the fairly bullet proof build. I would be interested in how you prioritize them if you were starting from scratch. Keep up the great work. Love the channel.

These axels are a great idea , I had a 1992 Cherokee with u joints and if you live in the north where it’s snow and damp on the road a lot like Michigan and around these u joints on your jeep will rust and dry out and fail and fall apart from rust and you end up replacing them every 4 or five years . This is a great replacement instead doing the u joints

Good install.

I see the new steering stabilizer

I've been using that lil trick for years now with the bungee cord. So much easier.

Great explanation, might have to visit these guys when I move back to Ft Worth/Dallas.

You all have a blessed Merry Christmas and New Year from the brogan family God bless you

If you plan to retain factory D44, might as well have upgraded to 35 splines, which would make it comparable to a D60. You'd also have to swap to a new locker to accommodate but totally worth it imo.

RCV is definitely the way to go if you want Front axle shaft upgrades! Those look good. I want to hear how you like them after Wheeling on them for a while

Great video, thank you!

😂 the excitement over that caliper trick.

BIG FAN !!!! LOVE U GUYS !!! ;)

Cool mod.

Nice add now truss that housing....🤘

Excellent! I thought you all would have went the extra step and get ball joints as well. Wait until the Yeti kit is on, what a difference!

Very cool video. I can't wait for Artec or someone to come out with a truss to reinforce the area of the tube where the FAD is.

Yup...RCV is the last word on CV based axles....and with you guys now running 38" tires a smart investment on being able to get home after another crazy trail ride...

I'm running 35 Spline RCVs in my ProRock 44 on my JKU. Beefy! Only con is that you're R&P is more likely to break before axle shafts & axle shafts is a much more easier trail fix.

I think you guys did a hell of a job showing what u-joints and stock axles can do with larger tires. Now let’s see how these new axles do ;)

Had you done research on the benefits of fully floating axles as an alternative to the RCV axles? A comparison of costs between the two would be interesting. Also, with a broken axle it doesn't appear that the CV axle would remain functional. That is, you would still have to replace the axle to retain the wheel in order to get off the trail. Great work you guys! Informative and entertaining as always!

that willys was gnarly. drop a cammed ls in that jl and pull up on the trail scene like a boss.nice commentating brittany,cant wait for warmer weather,ur still makin that offroad/jeep swimsuit calender right?lol🤪🤯🤑🤑🤑

Thank for posting the shout out to BearTrax, Ive been looking for an off road shop. Do you know if they cut and turn axles for proper pinion angle?

Not just a pretty face (which you very much are) educated and ask the questions that people are scared to ask. Keep going Kevin and Brittany (and I know older video), Jelly

Good video, and great upgrade! but RCVs won’t stop your Jeep from bouncing, that’s an inherent design of the suspension angles. Their axles are super strong, however the cage design wears fast. I’ve had mine for less than 2 years and click like crazy while turning.

Cool! But still waiting for your supercharger install video!!!?

Ok, I'm not gonna lie- that bungee strap hack was dope...

Hi! I love watching your videos! Thank you! I have an '04 TJ Rubicon and it needs some work. I am looking into a NEW 2019 JLUR since I haven't bought a new vehicle for myself in 17+ years. I am interested in knowing what packages you bought with your JLUR when you bought it and what other upgrades/add-ons you have to date? I'm wondering if all the packages offered by Jeep are actually necessary or worth the cost if one plans on upgrading certain things after purchase, such as, wheels, tires, skid plates, axles, lifts, etc. I am actually excited about buying my new JLUR and getting offroad again!!! Happy holidays!

Need those to get rid of the CAD system on my front diff. And beef it up.

OMG this CJ7 RAT is .... fucking awesome.... god bless all of those crazy artist ... So amazing work. Lucky you to live in a land who allow you to express your creativity..... in mine ... even a tire wider than fenders is prohibited .

Thanks for this review, exactly what I needed to know 👍😊. How about the rear axel? Did you guys upgrade it and is it as important?

I never liked the FAD design. I would get these axles as well.

Great video! I’ve been wondering what I need to upgrade to reliably run 37”s on my JLUR.

Great video! What’s going with the death wobble? Did it come back? I’m about 2 weeks from installing my lift. Thanks!

Hey love watching your videos and all your great tips. Quick question: Did you re-gear when you went up past 35s? I am hearing that the JL seems to handle 37s without needing to re-gear.

Trade one disconnect weak spot for 2 CV weak spots. Makes sense to me.

Baretrax really knows their game is next level stuff and they give great customer service. Another great video and awesome axle option.

Bigger is better, you will have more fun with it = bigger axles

What? No Kev-buns? *sad-face^ Do you guys think this will help with the death wobble at all? Cant wait to see your next surprise!

Awesome video as always, you 2 a lots of fun and a bundle of joy. Very informative video. Keep them coming. Safe travels

Love you

It would be a real shame if that FJ40 just sat in a museum 😢

I like thaaaat

Does that shop have any access to Metrology equipment, to measure the axle twist on your stock axles?

Speaking of how to drive videos, you need to include throttle control. Are you left foot braking? Because I've been wheeling for over 15yrs and have rarely seen throttle control as good as Kevin's, especially with drive by wire. I see so many drivers doing the lunge, brake, lunge brake, lunge brake. You definitely need to include how to throttle control over an obstacle.

Wow. Love the upgrades.

I feel that Power Wagon needs a Cummins but a Hemi could work...if it's supercharged.

Were you guys having trouble with your stock shafts? I don't understand to reason to upgrade. Since I've seen many of your videos and the stock ones have already shown an amazing ability to take whatever you throw at it. If I missed a video of a problem, could you link it, I'd like to see.

If you're going to swap to RCVs, might as well do 35 splines which would be comparable to a D60 . Same price, you'd require a new locker but cheaper than a whole axle swap.

notification squad 💪🏼

I have used hangers like that to hang my calipers for years. :-) Love those RCV axles. Yes, way better than U joints. I will be getting the Sahara with the Selec-Trac AWD Transfer case and they give you CV shafts with it. :-) So I won't need to upgrade.

Should be getting my interest free loan back from the government in a few months.... have been eye balling these for months

More videos .... yes more 😍😍

How are they in the snow

I been watching lots of vids from you guys, you are my #1 go to jeep Channel. I have one question, how much money have you put down to have what you have right now?

Did u fix the death wobble?

Can these axles be installed on a full size pick up

Couldn't be much of a surprise it is in the title of the vlog.

So no need to use a clamp to secure the boot in place? How does it hold in place?

Unrelated to THIS video but what ever happened to the hard top leaking you had in the one video? I never saw a followup on that so sorry if I missed it.

Could that CJ at the beginning have had any more light bars?!? Good grief. Thing looks like it could burn right through your retina.

How are the rear axle flanges doing?

Great video! What is your gear ratio?

Have you experienced a drive line vibration after removing the FAD

Does that mean your front axle is always free, or locked? Cause I was wondering what would happen if someone were to ride with their front end unlocked all the time.

The music makes me feel like i'm GROCERY shopping...........................Clean up in isle 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you do about the Jeeps ECU to fool FAD with it no longer working? Or nothing is needed because new shaft I noticed has a tapered area where the FAD would normally be located.

I’m wondering if you went with the full game changer MetalCloak if that would have any affect on fixing the wobble. Being it would have the adjustment of the control arms

What kind of ball joints do you have with your eccentric shafts? I was looking at dynatrac joints, but been reading that are not compatible with ROV shafts or the rub. Thanks in advance

Just wanna know one thing usually a CV joints the rubber house and wear and tear causes it to split will get a hold of it what’s preventing that rubber after rock crawling and hitting the trails prevent what kind a rubber are they using what kind of durability I think you know what I’m trying to say

Nice Guys, is this an upgrade for just the front or did you/Will you be doing the rear axle too?

Would U-Joint axels be #6 on what you hate about your JL ? I'm imagining that Jeep Factory Design Guy's head is starting to bleed from all that scratching. Also, now known, I'm seeing a lot of stress cracked Jeep windshields out there. Come on Jeep. Just evolve based on customer input. Thanks Lite Brite

Are you guys going to upgrade the rear axles too? If so with what? When are you going to re-gear? I just put 37's on and I couldn't keep it this way for long, getting new Yukon gears this week.

Do they have a setup for a 06 rubicon TJ?
