There's never a dull day in the shop! After getting all of the tools we could ever ask for, we replace the damaged shocks on our Ford F450 with Bilstein shocks, upgrade the steering on our Jeep Wrangler to aluminum parts, & install a whole new trussed axle our friend's Jeep! You know, because he completely bent & broke his old axle trying to follow us off road on the trails!
Hope you all enjoy the video!

Who knew how mush fun it would be for y'all to have a house, shop and room to grow? Enjoying y'all bringing us along on this ride.
Did I catch a peak of the bronco in Matts birthday surprise party video? I didn't see the step childor any of the other toys in the line up.

Yup
Kevin , lucky you had those tools when you replaced that tie rod!!! You can never have enough tools. Remember the stock shocks on the Ram with less than 10k and they was the same , sucks when we pay so much for a new truck and parts don't last ... I'm so happy that you guy's have Chris and Bec!!!! ♥️♥️💯🤙
There's a steering stabilizer, it's not in the usual spot. Look higher
Awesome shop projects and I really enjoy watching Chris and Bec knocking these out. I also enjoy you Kevin, putzing around in the shop, where is Brittany? Merry Christmas to all.
A strap wrench or chain wrench would have worked great on the f-450 shocks

Jacobdavis334 , IF you could call them "shocks!" I was amazed at what junk they got on their Ford!
Those tools are hard af to find... I like that box you use for the vet.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!! I'm actually in the market for tools and I'll check these folks out for sure!!!
love all the brit + kevin content ....add Chris + Bec = REALLY love the content!!
Use hydraulic wrenches on the shocks. Not only thin, but heads at different angles for tight fits.
Loved every minute of every video from Lite Brite since i accidentally stumbled across your channel looking for RC Crawler videos. From the first video i saw i was hooked and just want to wish you Happy Holidays and thanks for a Rad year. Here’s to many more 🤙🏻🍻👍🏻

Right on guys, looks like Christmas came early for Kevin with that tool box. He must have been a VERY good boy this year. Great to see you all back in the shop too. Can’t wait to see what the new year brings. Thank you Kev, Brit, Chris and Bec for all the great content. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Lite Brite Nation.
Love the garage episodes

Steering stabilizer is attached to the draglink. Some spot on all the Superduty trucks. Crawl under and look up. If you want an after market kit, check out the kit from PMF suspension!
The ABC of Lite Brite Nation, A is there grade level of Quality build , B is for Beck and C is for Chris.
I love that you film " how to fix" your problems.
Congrats on the Tactix kit that's pretty awesome. Glad to see Ara finally getting the Jeep some love. And boy oh boy the step child with that new RPM steering set up is giving me fomo vibes.
I really really like this Type/Part of the channel it’s like watching a show on a network channel but actually doing all the work yourselves and people who has rigs there actually participating in the repair absolutely outstanding keep this part of the channel coming😁😁
Love my RPM steering and the customer service is second to none.
It's bad mojo to say "I've got the axle 'wrapped' up". lol. Nice work guys!
But wait there’s more. And this bracket, and this bracket. Great job guys and girls!
Merry Christmas. enjoying the vlogs from the other side of the pond. Enjoying the sunshine from a damp England.
Becks makes every video better.
straight up love these videos! I enjoy your content a lot, focuses on fabrication and how things work in the off road world. keep it up!
Very pumped for King of the Hammers again.

That is a pretty sick tool box they sent you. That thing is huge. I would have to have a stool to get into the top. As always I loved the video.
Rattlesnake canyon, ran that a couple times, very chill trail, Big Bear is supposed to get snow Tomorrow, gonna be some fun wheelin if going around that time
Kevin, I feel your pain with the shocks. I always say, they build cars to build them (the assembly line), not to work on them. Those tools and box were really a great gift. I liked the “storage” bins boxes. Those would make a great bolt/hardware setup.
Just repalced some 29 year old Trail Master rear shocks with some Bilstein 5100's. Such a big difference. Still need to find someone with 24-185653's in stock.
Awesome video...master tech always at work....good job on the projects that come up....always egarly awaiting shop videos along with others...Safe travels
LOL at Chris with the "that's what she said" comment at 8:18
The death wobble problem is caused by a lack of caster from the factory, add a leveling kit without dropping the radius arms makes it a handful. Carli makes 1* caster correction bushings to fix the problem, 2* if you have a leveling kit. Or buy adjustable arms.

Man Chris and Beck are quite a team!
Looking into the future, I see that new steering stabilizer nuckle snapping. Or at least in a video or 2. Love the channel!
Awesome new tools and tool box! Nice steering components! All looks super nice to me!

Damn it, I was waiting for info on that rock bouncer since it was first in frame and now I have to wait for another video. Kevin/Brit give Chris a few days off so he can get that bouncer ready or Phobie so he can wheel his own rigs with you.
Thanks for all the great videos, I always look forward to your content and the whole team brings a smile to my face. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Lite Brite!!!
Checking you out Tactix - super awesome of you to support LiteBrite Nation.
"Come on Muscle Hamster"! Lol 🤣
This makes me want a house with garage so badly. My Jeep needs its own room 😢
Kevin talking to Chris.... "I have 99 sockets. A 10mm isn't one." : - ) Great video Kevin. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you Brittany, Chris, Becks, and all at Lite Brite Nation World Headquarters

A tappet wrench are normally thinner as well
That's why they make thin wrenches. A great tool for professional mechanic's tool box.
I'm sensing that every day is like Christmas at the Lite Brite Nation compound. Gifts seemingly arrive daily.
Wow. So many tools!
Fx4 has the factory stabilizer. Also they make skinny wrenches for things like that nut on the front shocks. I did 5100’s on my last 2 f450’s instead of the yellow ones.
Curious about the 7000 series aluminum steering links. Problem with aluminum vs steel is aluminum doesn’t have a fatigue limit. So any time it gets hit it makes permanent damage where as steel has a fatigue limit and can be hit an infinite amount of times as long as it is under the fatigue limit it will bounce back. Same reason why airplanes get retired after a certain amount of time and why body shops usually just replace aluminum panels instead of repairing them. 7000 series aluminum is tough stuff though. Developed by the aerospace industry.
oh yeah! Do you have a Chris? yeah we got a Chris. Cool! I'll be right over to borrow your Chris. no problem, everyone needs a Chris! lol... Merry Christmas Kevin to you n Brittany, your crew and family. Looking forward to another Great year. Happy and Blessed New Year as well!
Strap wrench around the shock body. There are a million uses for a strap wrench
Finally! haha I was giving you shit for the yeti clamp ba setup in another video haha. Looks great, no more fixing the steering after each trip.

Hey that looks familiar. Literally working through the same saga on the steering for my cummins explorer as I watch! Drilling out the knuckles, tapered inserts, tie rod flip, etc etc. 👍
Merry Christmas LB!🤘
I love the aluminum steering
Excellent video!!!
Great video thank you!
Merry Christmas to all!
There is a steering stabilizer. Look on the drag link up against the frame. They are there. Pretty small and puny.
I love Rattlesnake Canyon and Montino . When are you guys going?👍😁
Chris and Beck are amazing!
Great job guys
Great video and I got to wish you,family, and team a Merry Christmas.

There is a special socket for the top of that shock tower. That's how it's done....son...!
Ford has has the no stabilizer thing for years. My 78 f250 axle did not have one in the junk yard and I did not put one on when it went in my TJ...so far so good...Merry Christmas everyone.
Love the long videos
Wow. I only hope one day my channel is this successful. Nice guys.
Lol Kevin: Looks good to me. Chris: “We’re gonna send it!”
That Taitics gear is really good....another great video
I love the shop vids
That compact box looks almost like my craftsman chest.
Awesome video, love all the shop stuff to go with the wheeling. The tactix tools and sets you got looked pretty solid, sadly I do not think they are ready for sell in US…. Their website doesn’t sell tools and their Amazon store could use a lot of love…. Oh well.
Ok I need those wall mounted organizers
You lucky.......what cool to own ,what a company to give it away to you,Merry x-mas to all you fine people🎁🎄🎅🤶☃️🌨
that box.....going to need one of those
I actually have a couple of wrenches that are thin enough to get on that shock. And I have them for those kind of situations.
Somebody get Bec a face shield when using a cut off wheel please!!!!

Having it and using it are polar opposites with PPE in most cases...then at some point people realize yea it is a better idea to use it...usually it's after injuries personal or a friend. I'm just as guilty but getting better
Those Ford shocks are the ones you paint to look pretty. Pretty bad they don't spring back like you'd expect.
Lots of hammer prep guys, count down is on. Great vid once again :)
What an incredible company, they have some great stuff, buy, buy, buy!
Always enjoy your videos. I have a 4 car garage, but after see this, I think I need a bigger one.
I was about to get upset thinking there was going to be another video without Britney or Becky LOL. But I do love how Becky gets her hair all nice and done to go out and work on Jeeps that's pretty awesome!!!👧👧
Engineers for ALL the manufacturers design their products in a way that makes you have to bring it to a dealership for the simplest things. They ALL do it, down the road someone eventually makes a "special " tool so that backyard mechanics can work on them.
Awesome job you two..👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
good job guys
That RPM steering is rock solid on my JT. I had issues with the jam nuts loosing initially but after going to a 36" breaker bar and 2' cheater on the 15" cresent backup and breaking cheap Amazon crows feet before buying good ones I have had no issues with them.

@@LiteBrite So much for memory and bouncing back. It must have hit pretty damn hard hit. My Gladiator only sees 1.5% of what your jeep sees. BTW, You and Chris are excellent on camera. Love the shop videos.
You know what's most surprising to me is how the FAD section of that bent axle didn't break before the rest of it
Rattlesnake canyon to motino wash! Sick trail I’ve ran it a couple times.
I love watching you guys but please please please use a face shield when using a grinder with a flat disc if that thing were to explode while cutting brackets off omg it will hurt like well u know!!!
Wooooooo ! Full send 😎🇺🇸
You packed a bunch of work into that one. All good
Love the tools But damn I wish they were red and black lol man you got the hook up though that’s awesome

sucks you had to go from over to under the knuckle.. that was a good drill bit.. i did that to my bronco and remember it well.
Snapon has a set of offset wrenches that are really thin, my understanding is that they even have a patent on them. I use them to work on airplanes and they are great.
