If you mess up own it. Moving on. Don’t change a thing with what you guys do. This show is always a pock me up! The mechanical, the driving and the fun all of you have is PRICELESS!! Thank-You!!
Hey guys another great video!!! I just told the wife we need to go do the Bronco Stampede and the Jeep invasion in 2025. We already have committed to a memorial ride for our dear friend John Hudson whom we lost this year in February. It will be awesome to take her bronco and my Jeep to TN. We have been there in that area before but never been to those events. Thanks for making this video so we could all see what it looks like at the event. Safe Travels to you guys!!!
What an amazing …place! I’ve never heard of! So many wonderful things to see and do in this Country. Great hike! Birds and braids. Anybody drunk yet? Oh, yeah - and some Broncos. StepChild needing some shock tuning? LiteBriteNationGoesOverboard!
One of my favorite videos so far! The step child looks amazing an pigeon forge isn’t far away from me at all I really enjoy visiting there how ever y’all need to travel the skyway while your there!
By far the best lite Brite Nation video in a long time. We all are normal people who like to have a great time. Keep up the awesome videos guys. #999litebritenationforthewin
Hey Team Green! :) I live about 2 hours away from Pigeon. A bit of friendly advice.. if that last shot is of the cabin with the outdoor hot tub- beware of the black bears, especially around the doggies. Have fun y'all!!
I had similar problems when my dynatrac XD60’s got installed and my PSC system. The hydro was super touchy, and axles weren’t exactly perfect on alignment. But with a little persistence, a few tape measures, and and digital angle meter, I was finally able to get it resolved.
Look at Kevin’s face in the farewell clip 😂. You guys r having a blast huh? I’ve been to literally all those places, with the moonshine pit stop! So much fun😜
The toe specs controversy will probably go on forever. My experience has been toe out for straight axle and toe in for independent suspension on tires smaller than 35". And toe out on both systems above 35".
As soon as I saw the building i was like hey, that looks like the Outlaw Offroad I take my Tundra to. And dang if it wasn’t. I live five minutes from this one in Smyrna. Absolutely great people and service there! Love the content by the way, new follower here and glad to have found the channel.
I had a blast watching this one .. I feel right at home when y’all are on the east coast ‘. I live right off 1-40 I have seen some really cool jeeps passing through town the past couple weeks.. i’ve been to the aquarium and The moonshine distilleries the deer 🦌 was really cool too !!
Brittany, Here is a video series idea since you are great with people. To get more people into jeepin, buy a stock jeep Rubicon with an extreme package. And go do all the badge of honor trails. It would help th get more people in the community.
Impressive build. What are the final alignment specs? I would suggest running the suspension geometry numbers again. The numbers on paper and what ends up in reality once on the ground can be different enough to change the anti-squat/anti-dive and the roll axis/roll center. This can have a huge influence on how it steers. And with how much it lifts under power (yes lots of power) it looks like the anti-squat and anti-dive may be low.
Loved this video. Too many things to point out. The deer. The parrot licking the salt off chris. How are you standing after so many shots, especially the moonshine? I had moonshine once; that was enough. The white water rafting. Etc. Glad you all have a great time. Keep safe!
I like a 16th toe in. My theory is, when driving down the road, the resistance to forward motion will push backwards on the wheels causing them to be straight. Don't know how true it is, but that's why I call it a theory.
100% agree all my trucks for the last 40 years have been set up to 1/10-1/16” total toe in for exactly that reason. It’s also better for less tire wear.
It should be toed in. As your driving the drag from the road is pulling the tires back. Once you hit about 45mph or so then the gyroscopic force takes over and tries to force the wheels straight. If you have a slight toe in then both forces are pulling the same direction. If it's toed out then the forces will fight each other until you adjust your speed so that one force or the other takes over.
I prefer toe out. Makes the steering a little lazier so easier to drive a giant Jeep. Had them do a 16th in last alignment to try it and it’s fine but I liked it a little lazier. Will go toe out next time.
Growing up in the area I always saw Pigeon Forge as “Myrtle Beach in the sky”. It is a lot of fun though. And, Bri is freaking adorable. I bet she’s fun to party with! 🎉
We definitely need to make Pigeon Forge a future vacation! We met y’all last year there as I was moving from Augusta back home to Oklahoma and we pulled in with our big U-Haul trailer, lol. Wished we could have stayed to enjoy some of the attractions, so now we need to plan a trip just for the attractions. :)
Toe in vs Toe out has to do with front wheel drive or all wheel drive. If the front end is under torque when you are on the freeway, you want a tiny amount of toe out, so when it is under torque, it will be at 0. If the axle is driven, the direction load on the axle is backwards, hence the other reason for toe out. If the axle is not driven, you should have toe in. Confusion happens because of all the 4WD//FWD Configurations there are, no one is qualify under which condition you are setting up for, so that just gets lost in the conversation. If you are not full time 4WD, you should have a pinch or toe in.
Be careful in the woods down there. The Lone Star tick is very prominent and causes the Red Meat Allergy that would really suck to have for the rest of your life. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
5:09 - (ish)(pausing to type) - Yeah, front axle is always toe out to initiate cornering and rear is toe in for stability. Anyone who tells you different has never studied Chassis Dynamics. Ideally, your Toe setting combines with the Akerman to make the wheels follow the correct radius of a turn without scrubbing, with the inside wheel and the outside wheel following different sized circles due to the difference in the Radius of the circle caused by the width of the vehicle. Scrub Angle and Wheel Offset can drag the tyres away from the ideal path to follow in that circle. The positve Caster is what gets you front end wanting to track straight, when camber is correct (for 99% of vehicles) the steering wheel will have a self-centering pull - the car will want to go straight. The wander across the lane Kevin described, can also be a result of Bump Steer, if the steering links are not moving through the same arcs as the suspension.
I’ve got bring my family down Smokey Jeep invasion ! I went to NADC and loved that area down there! Wow I was wondering who Chris crush was! Man ide love spend a few months year learning from Chris working side by side with that Genius 😊 Be safe god bless
Pigeon Forge and they have Parrots. I didn't see a single Pigeon. I loved it when you all jumped in the river and no one was left in the raft to help you back in. Ever see the movie "Open Water". Anyhow, Loved it that you all showed up with a jeep at a Bronco event, and not with just any jeep, but one that eats broncos.
Stepchild 3.75 is “new and tight” think a new pair of boots, you gotta break them in, an each time the process is a little different but you work at it.
Howdy. I have been enjoying going thru the many videos by you and other extreme 4 wheelers, rock crawlers and rescues. I was into this all many years before you, and have done the Jeepers Jamboree and other west coast events. I was also heavy into the sand drag circuit, and at one time had the fastest Sand drag Bronco in the country. Like you guys I had a rock crawler jeep (but streetable) And a sand jeep* and the Bronco, I hauled them around behind an F250 4x4 with a 428 ford in it. Anyway I really appreciate how well done your videos are; and how you put the viewer into the thick of it. (for gawds sake be careful) As I've been out of this for a long while; I'm wondering if you can point me at a video that explains some of the newer tech. Things like Axles that can turn near 90 degrees, operating rear steer, and transfer cases that allow driver to disengage the rear drive so as to crab the front end around. Ways to keep the engine running in extreme positions. Stuff like that. I realize some of this may be trade secret etc, and I'm not asking for you to create a video, but maybe some direction? Alot of vides talk about external things like tires, springs and shocks, Looking more for how people and vehicles do what I see, Thanks for any help. And I understand if you miss this or don't have time or a suggestion. But I really can't get out much as I am up there in years (I do have some grand tales of Pismo before it was a "park;:) So Videos are it. I did take my XJ out for a drive today, round the block. So guess you all inspired me. Tell Mater and BleepinJeep and Matts off road enjoy their stuff too. PS luved the Bronco Stampede, as my 67' was my very 1st car. Keep up with the great vids. thanks!
I’d recommend you give toe in a shot. On my camaro I’d toe in for daily driving, no toe for the drag strip, and toe out for the track. Tow out makes steering more sensitive/touchy. Toe in makes it less sensitive. IMO.
For RWD toe in increases straight line stability, and tends to allow a wheel to correct line a little as you load it up, toe out increases steering response, because as you load up the outside it augments your steering. You want a little toe in for highway stability, you want a little toe out for your race car. On FWD cars you pretty well always want some toe out, because the thrust from the driving axle countaracts the diretional effects of toe in. Castor is a bit of a weird dimension because it influences mechanical trail, that's the property you care about, not castor directly. Too much mechanical trail (excessive castor) will result in no steering feel and can cause death wobble, too little means (weirdly) no steering feel, wander etc. I think your control arms might be a little short for your application, it could result in bind when you're off road and maybe some weird effects under high brake forces or acceleration.
Whoa dudes! Did you install a fancy gawidget we don't know about like air ride suspension or something? That jeep goes up and it goes down... does new suspension system work via some hydraulic voodoo magic to lower and raise the jeep? That is one swanky setup. That bird sanctuary looks awesome!
I so wanted to go to the jeep invasion but couldnt do it this weekend. I live in west Tennessee is what really sucks but were headed to pigeon forge in a few weeks and that will be awesome. Maybe next year i can make it to jeep invasion. Love the vids
If you mess up own it. Moving on. Don’t change a thing with what you guys do. This show is always a pock me up! The mechanical, the driving and the fun all of you have is PRICELESS!! Thank-You!!
Guys, the cinematography of this video is outstanding! Really impressive.
Hey guys another great video!!! I just told the wife we need to go do the Bronco Stampede and the Jeep invasion in 2025.

Yay!!! The step child is alive! Very exciting. Great pups play at the end.
This was really enjoyable to watch. Great to mix the sightseeing in with the Jeep/Bronco stuff. Hey Bri...looking great!
4:33 perfect timing lol Kevin’s face though 😂
Looks like a hell of a time. Can’t wait to see the step child out wheeling!
What an amazing …place! I’ve never heard of! So many wonderful things to see and do in this Country. Great hike! Birds and braids. Anybody drunk yet? Oh, yeah - and some Broncos. StepChild needing some shock tuning? LiteBriteNationGoesOverboard!
Glad ya all came out. We had a great time at the show, although working the booth made for long days. Next year will be quite a bit bigger I’d imagine
Chris you scored Bro, she's a hottie, AWESOME Karma out to you all and have a kick ass time
🤘😁
One of my favorite videos so far! The step child looks amazing an pigeon forge isn’t far away from me at all I really enjoy visiting there how ever y’all need to travel the skyway while your there!
The trip you guys took looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for including that.
By far the best lite Brite Nation video in a long time. We all are normal people who like to have a great time. Keep up the awesome videos guys. #999litebritenationforthewin
So nice of Brittney to bring the cake to the party. 13:18
It is called rear rafting.
Love you guys stay safe keep on keeping on. Cant believe where life takes you definitely an experience.
Hey Team Green! :) I live about 2 hours away from Pigeon. A bit of friendly advice.. if that last shot is of the cabin with the outdoor hot tub- beware of the black bears, especially around the doggies. Have fun y'all!!
What a great video! Glad you figured out the steering problem. Also, thanks to you guys, I have a new appreciation for Pigeon Ford, Tennessee.
I had similar problems when my dynatrac XD60’s got installed and my PSC system. The hydro was super touchy, and axles weren’t exactly perfect on alignment. But with a little persistence, a few tape measures, and and digital angle meter, I was finally able to get it resolved.

This is got to be one of my favorite videos. Great job everybody.
Dang! Diggin that late 70’s full-size green and white bronco. My dad had a white and red one in 78 with a m400 in it. Great rig
The toe specs controversy will probably go on forever. My experience has been toe out for straight axle and toe in for independent suspension on tires smaller than 35". And toe out on both systems above 35".

I love that you took the bronco to jeeper jamboree and the jeep to the bronco stampede😂
i wonder if they paid extra fee' lol
No excuses Kevin ! If you're as smart as you think, you're best decision would be to assist Chris and let Him make engineering decisions. 😂😂😂
Hey, his exhaust diverter thing was pretty clever!
She’s annoying
You're= you are, I think u meant your lol
I had a blast watching this one .. I feel right at home when y’all are on the east coast ‘. I live right off 1-40 I have seen some really cool jeeps passing through town the past couple weeks.. i’ve been to the aquarium and The moonshine distilleries the deer 🦌 was really cool too !!

An excellent idea! I mean, I'd hate to be the person to say 'go get a new monthly payment!' But I would love that and watch the crap out of it!
? Isn't that how StepChild started out ?
Lmfao....after all those different shots, you know they was feeln goooooood!😂🤣😂🤣
Impressive build. What are the final alignment specs? I would suggest running the suspension geometry numbers again.

StepChild 3.695724 is back in action!!!!!🎉 I'm so happy for you guys , you guys are awesome ❤️❤️💯🤙
What a awesome 👏🏼 trip guys … great atmosphere with great friends !! LBN knows how to have a great 👍 time !!! ❤️ LBN

100% agree all my trucks for the last 40 years have been set up to 1/10-1/16” total toe in for exactly that reason. It’s also better for less tire wear.
So you guys are normal people that do normal things sometimes. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us.
Love the wheeling videos you put on. But really love the videos of the places you visit. Take care God bless.
Neat video, refreshing more then just Jeep related content
Glad the Step Child is finally up and running!
It should be toed in. As your driving the drag from the road is pulling the tires back. Once you hit about 45mph or so then the gyroscopic force takes over and tries to force the wheels straight.

I prefer toe out. Makes the steering a little lazier so easier to drive a giant Jeep. Had them do a 16th in last alignment to try it and it’s fine but I liked it a little lazier. Will go toe out next time.
Exactly
Ciao!!! Damn Britany!! Nice thumbnail! Envy you Kevin!
You Guys are awesome 👌Thanx for sharing your experience, we couldn't come to visit medical reasons 😀
What a great video! A little bit of everything in this one.👀😎😜that jeep of yours is SICK!🤙🏻
Growing up in the area I always saw Pigeon Forge as “Myrtle Beach in the sky”. It is a lot of fun though.
And, Bri is freaking adorable. I bet she’s fun to party with! 🎉
Yep, Myrtle Beach in the mountains
Looks like you all had a blast! Happy Trails to all at LBN!

Simply soooo Sick!!! Have FUN !!! LiteBrite gold as always 👌👌😃😃
Remember when Brittany’s mom did a liquor tasting and was sipping the shots, aaww good time, entertainment gold.
Peanut butter and jelly best part🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🤗🤗👋👋👋👋🤗🤗🤗🤗
Fantastic, that was the most fun video you have ever made.
I love the arrow in the thumb nail. Almost as if it suggests ” Welcome gentlemen of culture, please direct your attention towards the trucks“😂
OMG!!! BRIE IS JUST ABSOLUTLEY STUNNINGLY PRETTY!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Old Broncos are so cool
I actually saw an older bronco at my sister’s cross-country meet. Also, shout out to Shane England for bringing Big Kahuna to the bronco stampede!
Saw you on Matt’s channel when you had to make a call. Just subscribed. This outing looked like loads of fun!
That looks like a blast but I'd be hard pressed to be able to leave the moonshine hut 🛖 someone bring a wheelbarrow we will need it.
Great Looking ASSets!!
You guys would enjoy Dale Hollow lake, just north of Cookeville TN.
toe out is good for offroad, even all wheel drive track cars. it also causes more following pavement irregularities.

Be safe god bless
13:18 That's what I'ma talking about......Subbed, and always a thumbs up!
Liked just for the opening scene!
You should give the clear water a try here in TN. It has a way bigger bite.
Pigeon Forge and they have Parrots. I didn't see a single Pigeon.
I loved it when you all jumped in the river and no one was left in the raft to help you back in. Ever see the movie "Open Water".
Anyhow, Loved it that you all showed up with a jeep at a Bronco event, and not with just any jeep, but one that eats broncos.
Of all the beautiful birds , Bree is the most beautiful.
Have a Great Day and
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Me and the fan were in GSM National Park last year. What an amazing place.
BRIT, COOOL VID!
I’d be crawling after all those shots of moonshine!!

Great video of the birds!
Travel the cheroahala skyway Guys you will enjoy this mountain road trip!!!
Love Parrot Mountain and Pigon Forge area!
I like the puppy play time at the end.
OMG, the dog pull at the end!
Great video! I could listen to her talk cars and off road all day 😊❤

Bronco to Jeep Jamboree. Jeep to Bronco stampede
If the front is powered, then toe out, if its not, toe in is my preference.
Yup, Agree. Aligning vehicles back in the day when frt wheel drive was being introduced. Early 80s.
Love it, I will one day get to meet y'all!!! You guys are awesome!!!!
Living your best lives!
you guys should go with Northwest Whitewater Adventures in Oregon. so amazing
Very entertaining , great job guys !!!!!!!
All i know is , after all them shots Kevin is getting some tonight 😂😂😂
Seems as if Chris is getting some too.
Let me guess after 10 minutes being on that lift they said you need new ball joints?
THANKS BRITTANY!!!❤❤😂🫣🫣🫣🫣
Whoa dudes! Did you install a fancy gawidget we don't know about like air ride suspension or something? That jeep goes up and it goes down... does new suspension system work via some hydraulic voodoo magic to lower and raise the jeep? That is one swanky setup.
That bird sanctuary looks awesome!
one of your best videos
4:32 “that’s what she said” as well as a whole bunch of other woman behind a man’s back😂🤣that went “r” rated fast
I so wanted to go to the jeep invasion but couldnt do it this weekend. I live in west Tennessee is what really sucks but were headed to pigeon forge in a few weeks and that will be awesome. Maybe next year i can make it to jeep invasion. Love the vids
Great video thank you!
Be sure and tour Cades Cove. We have seen as many as 50 Bear there in a two week period.
What in the Mike Patey did you do to that suspension
hard to not click on a video with Britt and a newly built jeep
20:13. EE ee Ah ah tookie tookie
amazing video, happy for chris too
What happened to Chris?
His girlfriend
