600+ HP HEMI JEEP Ripping Through the Woods!

Definite disclaimer, if you do ride in the Stepchild, Kevin and I are not responsible for any money you feel obligated to spend after the fact. Oh, that's insane. Is that on your list of points? Yeah. I think so. What's up, B3 Off-Road? Hi, guys, and welcome officially to day two of our wacky adventures here at AOAA in Pennsylvania. But today, we have a whole new group with us. We have a whole new group today. You guys ready to have fun? Woo! Yeah! Don't worry. We only had, like, two deaths yesterday. We only got lost, like, eight times. We've already been lost twice today. We already got lost twice today, and we're, like, five minutes into the trail. It's going to be a great day, though. We're going to have a lot of fun, right? Yeah! Woo! They're a little hesitant there. It's fine. It'll be a good day. Kevin, what did you just do? Took a trail off of here. For 30 seconds. On the trail for 30 seconds. Look, that was that E1 trail. And Kevin goes, oh, we can loop right here and take this over there. And so he hooks, like, almost a U-turn, and it literally just looped in on itself, and we're back on the exact same thing. Anyways, we're just setting everyone's expectations right off from the bat to exactly what we're doing. So here's the actual trail. But do you see how it says we're past the trail a little bit? So that is the issue sometimes with this. But it's fine. We found it. It's fine. We just want to make sure everyone knows what to expect for the rest of the day right off the bat. Just like yesterday, we're going to stick to some greens because we do have some newbie people, right? But then we're going to try to drive by these blues where people can attempt it. So I'm going to go first, see how bad it feels. And then from there, people can kind of decide if they want to attempt it. They can gauge whether or not they want to attempt it based off what Kevin has to do to get up it. Because it rained, like, hard last night. And so everything is wet and really slick. Very, very slick. And in typical East Coast off-roading, you're in a slick spot with trees on either side ready to catch you should you screw up. So somebody that's like 37, 38 wants to try it. But we're not pinning it. There's no, like, you're not, wah, wah, wah, wah, and, like, try to bounce up it and go. If it's going to go easy to moderately, then you'll be fine. If not, it's easy to back down. You going to go up this ramp? Yeah, I'm going to try it. So we're going to come further driver. We don't want anybody to air down too far. And when your tire is too full of air, instead of it wrapping around like that limb, it's pushing back instead of folding over it. So he's at 25 PSI. It's just a little too much. Like, it's not letting it wrap around anything. Maybe go down to, like, 18. It doesn't have bead locks. So we still want to keep a good amount of pressure in it because we don't want to risk de-beading the tire later. But higher pressure might. That branch, as opposed to, like, bouncing off of it. OK, so we've aired down to about 18, which is, for the moment, we're going to just see if that, it's still high, but without bead locks, we don't want to take any risks. So, let's see if it helps. Oh, I was over it. It almost did it that time. You were almost there. So all terrains in a scenario like this really isn't helpful. It packs full of mud real quick. And then there's no knobs to grab on to anything. So, if you are out east and all terrain isn't really the best choice of tire, I know that's what Jeep comes with, that's fine, but you kind of need something more aggressive. Not for this type of terrain. You need something aggressive to actually grab once you air down. Now I got to go down the other way first to make sure we don't have to turn around and come this way. All right, guys, welcome to the East Coast in East Coast Wheeling. As you go through that next section, make sure that you swing wide enough that you don't smash into the tree on your left side, but also don't swing so wide that you fall into the giant gaping hole on your right side. It's like three times the size of the Jeep. That'd be okay. And then as you come back around, don't hit the tree on the other side, or the tree on that side, or the trees coming up. So it's literally kind of a maze of trees right now. The good news is, is Kevin and I are going first. And if the stepchild can fit through the trees, just about everyone else can, except potentially the gladiator. I'm going to pull him a different route just because the length puts him at a slight disadvantage for really tight turns. He understood the assignment. He's like, East Coast, I'm bringing the talk toy. Brought the talk toy. Brought the tiny Jeep. That was smart. Amazing. Worth every penny. Awesome. How you doing so far? Awesome. Great, great time. We just, we just picked this up three days. We got rid of a Bronco for this, so. You picked up three days ago? Yeah. And you brought it on a trail with us? Yes, I did. Awesome. There you go. You guys are, uh. Took my money and ran on that one, let me tell you. You have guts. Tree. Yeah, it's around the East Coast. Trees. I don't know how we didn't end up on one of these trails yesterday in like the last video that we were here, but somehow today all the trails that we've ended up on are like tree mazes. But definitely kudos to the gentleman driving the Gladiator because he's maneuvering that thing like a freaking champ. Trees are freaking everywhere. How did we, how did we not end up on a single trail like this? It goes slow. It's when the rear tires go over that I'm gonna be, watch it. I think you'll be fine. Please, please. I found a pretty solid ledge. Just for funsies. All right, it's gonna come off. It's so smooth. That was pretty solid. I don't know. It's so smooth. I mean, I can get all of y'all down that at least one time. She's trying to find a spot to get B-roll. I should've filmed earlier. It's taken her like 10 minutes. It was like spider webs. Just a little bit passenger. There you go, right there, yeah. So we are on Barney Rubble right now. We're part of it. We're towards the top of one of the sections, but we're letting a few of the guys play around on them that want to, so they can do a little more rock navigating through these tie rod killers and diff smashers. Perfect. Hard driver, yep. Yep, stay as hard driver as you can. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Woo, beautiful. All right, so we didn't think about this yesterday on the other trail ride, but AOAA actually has a flex ramp, which we're going to put to use right now. And anyone else who wants to give it a go, just to, ah, you know, it's always fun. It's always fun to see the vehicle flexed out as much as possible. What'd you say? Look at that post halfway up that's sticking out. It's not attached. I mean, just the side part, just goes slow. Okay. Front or the back? The back. The back has way more than the front does. So last time Chris redid the shocks, you can see we got it set up absolutely perfect. Like the bump stop, everything's stopping right at the end of the up travel. Like that's how you set it up. The end of your up travel, the end of everything. Take full advantage of every millimeter you can. Yep, fully extended, and then look at the right rear. Now it's bright as the tire's starting to come off the ground. Yeah. Now you can climb back up. I didn't even notice. We were so worried about this part right here. It's fine. If it'll hold the step shelves, wait, the rest of the Jeep should be fine. I said slow, higher up first. It's not too shabby. Yeah, your front tire's dangling out below your slider. So that's pretty good. Awesome. Is she mostly factory? What all's done? Actually, only the skid plates. Everything else is factory. Everything else is stock. That's not too bad, not too shabby. Awesome, not too shabby. Awesome. All right, you guys, so we're taking turns letting people ride in the step child. So I'm taking turns riding in other people's Jeeps. Definite disclaimer, if you do ride in the step child, Kevin and I are not responsible for any money you feel obligated to spend after the fact. Hello, come on in. You're on candid camera. Oh, okay, this is like exciting. There you go. This is fun, actually being in here is very exciting. It's being on the other side. All right, let's see how the suspension goes. So how was that? I know it was short, but that was smooth? That was fast. It's fast, huh? Yeah, I didn't feel anything. Wow, I can't tell, that's light as day. That's crazy. Isn't that crazy? But yeah, honestly, like you go slower and you feel more, the back leg can go a little bit faster. And it like smooths out. Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? It's very smooth, huh? I mean, it's not bad going slow either, but this is like what we're normally doing. And it's fine, but you actually have more, there's more movement going slow than just punching it and like being gone. Have a little fun? Yeah. Is that smooth or what? Oh, it's smooth. It's crazy smooth, huh? That's insane. Oh, it looks so little. It did, it wasn't so little. I didn't miss it, right? I didn't miss another trail, I feel like. Oh, I didn't see the trail yet. I didn't think so either. Yeah, so that's the suspension and the hemi. It's all Neil Lister, folks. Yeah. Okay. I can't tell if you're scared or you're having fun. You're just like, uh, what am I doing? Why am I in the Jeep with this guy? Seatbelt knows who he's talking to. Oh yeah, seatbelt, for sure. I figured you're gonna drive like a wild man. For sure, I don't drive like a wild man. What are you talking about? Sweet. I drive like a. It's worth the smiles. Yeah. Nice. I mean, your power to weight ratio now from the 392 to the 426. Yeah. It's such a huge difference. The torque from this now, because of how heavy this is and everything. It's just, it's just awesome. This is sweet. Well, that's the final rider. All right. It was awesome. How'd you think? It was awesome. Yeah. 426 horsepower is amazing. Sorry, 426 cubic inch, 600 horsepower. Yeah, there you go. That's right, yeah. I know what you meant. Gotcha. It was awesome. Thanks a lot, Kevin. This was awesome. I don't know if I showed this before. I'm in another Jeep now. It's in a manual transmission, which Kevin and I always give kudos to anyone willing to drive or off-road a manual transmission because going downhill is not too bad, but going uphill on any type of obstacle, infinitely more difficult to manage in a manual trans, especially if you don't have like super low crawling gear ratio. But so far you've done pretty good today. I thought so. I tried. You did good. It is, like I said, it poured last night. Everything is so slick today. This gets pretty deep. Is he going through it? It gets deep. You can go around it if you want. I just don't want you to get stuck. Woo! Oh, it didn't come, it didn't get in, almost. But it's somewhere awake now. This morning it didn't sound like that. Maybe it was the hemi rides. I think it was the hemi rides. Dude, today was a super successful day. Everyone got off the trail in one piece, right? Nobody broke. No one broke. We had no issues. And I can say that without jinxing it now, because we were back on pavement. And a ton of y'all got to ride in the Stepchild. For those of you that did, was it a blast? Yeah! It was a freaking blast. Guys, as always, thank you so much for watching. Please don't forget to like, subscribe, and share. Remember, you can find all your Lifebrite Nation merch and decals at lifebritestudios.com. As always, we love you, and we'll see you next time. Bye! Why is it so clean in here? So clean in here. Go look at mine. We just got off the same trails. Why is this so clean in here? Well, I can't go as fast. Oh, he can't go as fast as you. Awesome. Thank you. It's better now that my signature's shorter, so now I don't run out of room anymore to sit through a signature hog. There you go. It is hot. Thank you. You're welcome. I love it. Thank you. Also, if you've ever wondered where to get food after a long, hot day on the trail, Spangenberg's, 10 out of 10. Not only do they deliver, so like also if you're camping at AOA or something like that, like they'll bring food to you, or if you're on the trails or something and you don't want to drive off the park, they'll bring you food, like if you're in quads, dirt bikes, stuff like that. But in addition to that, food's pretty good, and their ice cream is absolutely bomb-diggity. That's great. You had one job. All right, cut. That was great.
