i am really digging the 22 badlands I have! it's no jeep, but it's doing everything i want it to. i put a BDS lift kit and 37s on it and holy cow is that a game changer!
A lot of repeated information in this video but I am really digging the enthusiasm by you both AND the company owner. I can't wait to see what you guys can do with your new Bronco.
I was hoping that the Raptor was not leaving. With this new build you be carrying the Ford flag very well. Good luck with the build, cant wait to see it.
I’ve owned 17 jeeps heavily modified not as modified as yours but pretty extreme including the 392 and I purchased a bronco raptor then I sold it because I wasn’t sure about it went back to jeep now I’m back to bronco raptor I love it it is comfortable it is capable right out of the box, but now what you have is pretty awesome and I’m impressed.
I've been rocking the APG fenders on my 2 door for the last 3 months and still rock solid. Once I saw them release the kit, I was on the phone with George, credit card in hand. Not a single regret. Now I'm waiting on the V8 swap kit =)
When you got your first Bronco was excited to see what you were going to do, then you swapped to the Braptor and I was wondering what modes are available, I am very excited to see the changes and then see how well it does Offroad. Thank you for pushing the limits of what can be done.
I've never really been a huge fan of the Broncos but those are sick. I'm a sucker for Cabon Fibre, gets me every time. Now to figure out how to smuggle one into Canada. I can't wait for you guys to give yours the beat down
OMG, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping you guys would do, APG rocks, damn expensive though.... Hope it turns out perfect and more Bronco content the better!!!
Dang, George is really passionate about what he does. I know that many of you may be bored with the technical 💩at 30:35. Still, as an engineer I really appreciate him taking the time and being as open and transparent about his manufacturing methods. Someone willing to talk about this to the length that he has is a sign of a quality manufacturer.
21rst! You kids are looking great! I seem to remember y’all were downsizing and getting rid of vehicles not too long ago. I should have placed a bet. I compared the run through the desert you just did with StepChild to this run with new Bronco: both are so amazing! This is really going to be something to see! Can’t wait to see the wrap y’all put on this! Picked out a nickname yet? LiteBriteNationBackInTheSaddleAgain!
I just came across this video and this new Bronco. I'm pretty excited to watch ALL the content you create with it. I was highly disappointed when you got rid of the Badlands. I think I watched maybe 2 Raptor vids. Just didn't do it for me and I don't watch Jeep only vids. But this is gonna be amazing. I have a 2 door Badlands manual transmission Sasquatch. Basically stock. Love it.
Love APG! Would send my Bronco to them in a millisecond for a build if I wanted to go this route. Looking forward to what you guys do with the new Bronco. GL!
HE kept saying the suspension was "bullet-proof"...let's watch Kevin find some new ways of testing how bullet-proof the underside truly is. Will love to see if they can design a camera that is useful to Kevin when he is going over stuff. Will be interesting to watch the Wildtrack 2.0. Can hardly wait.
Wow. This is gonna be cool to watch. I have the APG mid travel suspension on my WT with 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers. It's a good suspension setup for what we do, but the ProRunner setup is just plain sick.
This is the best APG promotion I've ever seen. I've been dismissing them as gratuitously expensive, but now I'm trying to find money to send my BadSquatch to them!
They definitely aren’t cheap, but the quality and value is 100% there and worth it in our opinion! We hope to be able to really demonstrate that when ours is done! 🤙
@@LiteBrite this is the impression I was left with after viewing your video. You just can't fake that kind of enthusiasm and excitement for a product. The passion of APG was seeping through every pixel. I'm excited *for* you. Genuinely.
Nah, just someone who’s genuinely passionate about his work and cars. 😊 He geeks out on all of it, and totally deserves to, cause he creating something pretty sick. 🤙
@@LiteBrite This man is driven by passion...easy to see. People like us don't do it for the money. passion is ok when you can back it up. Any doubts, rewind and watch again. Have a blessed week! 😎
This is great to see, I'm really excited for this one. I was disappointed that your previous Badlands experience didn't go well. I really love these Broncos, though they're completely out of my budget. It'll be great to see what you guys can do with this one.
We absolutely 100% miss selling our wild track. We got it at an amazing deal so resold to profit. But now it made such an impression, we are going to get another one.
Great Segway!!! Toyota guys are needing therapy for neglect and lack of love. What could ease our pain you ask? Great question! Day 40: Renegade 17x9 139.7(5.5) 4.25bs black with white lettering.
Toyota doesn't make anything more than a standard 4x4 and will never make anything for the hardcore off-road enthusiasts. It's not their market. They do vanilla, but they do it very well!
@@ProjectXJhaha, it's true. 5th gen 4Runner has been out 15 years now and nobody's doing anything like this, people are still doing"builds" with 2-in lift Bilstein shocks and 33s.
I've talked to this guy about their pro-runner build. $100k plus. He will never stop talking in circles to sell you his build. He finally got a break with litebrite nation. He really needs to just calm down since you're Already featured on the channel so you can stop talking in circles and calmly just get to the build and components.
Honestly, it’s less about selling the build and more about him just geeking out on all of it (which he totally deserves to, cause he’s created something pretty sick). He’s just someone who’s genuinely passionate about his work and cars and really enjoys talking about it. 😊 We get it, cause we’re the same way. Especially Kevin. Those two could spend hours talking in circles (and probably come up with a hundred insane, but really amazing, ideas in the process).
What I hope we don't get in a few weeks is a video of "bam, all done!". What makes the step child near and dear is that we've followed the journey from mild to wild and all the little steps along the way.
I've been a hardcore wrangler guy for the past 12 years but I'm thinking about changing it up for a Bronco build similar to that just to try something different.
APG. Doing it right doing it big. If you want a RIG setup the way they want it, and you do not have the knowledge or more likely the tools and space to do it all yourself....APG. From what I have seen, they and a few other companies will actually take your stock Bronco and turn it into BEAST MODE Bronco. If you need it to do what people do out west with their Bronco, they are not a bad choice. And before anyone says this or that, I am not affiliated with APG in any way, hell I have never met anyone from there. Just going off of what people I have spoken with and what I see.
Also, don’t sleep on the 2.7L EcoBeast. Mine’s FBO and running on an E85 🌽 tune from ZFG Racing. 400+ WHP and 480+ WTQ with stock turbos. More than a stock Jeep 392 😄
Believe it or not I love the 4 Runner for obvious reasons, however the Bronco Wildtrak naturally attracted me and just due to the Bronco having the look of an offroad vehicle just adds on to the experience of enojying what it is.
The first thing I noticed when I got a jeep was the interior. The plastics in the bronco black diamond I used to have would scratch up so easily I was constantly heat gunning. I started beating the shit out of my gladiator 12 hours after I picked it up and she’s got very minimal scratches on the interior plastics. I do miss the twin turbskies on the bronco though.
Hey guys I just want to comment and say I really enjoy your videos and your input on off road experience and driving. I actually switched from my JKU Rubicon Recon to a 23 Bronco Badlands. How come you guys hate on the Badlands so much? I love mine and it’s been trouble free in every way through the first year of ownership!
Semi-float dana 60 and 32 spline dana 44 doesn't scream "ultimate reliability". I wonder how the 44 will hold up to 40's when rock crawling. I guess the 2.7 doesn't make a ton of power so that will help. The scorpion crawler ran 40's on a 44 for a long time, but it was built to the max and was significantly lighter that the bronco will be. Interested to see how it holds up.
Im excited! I think what APG has done is amazing! but that cost is insane! finally someone to really put it to the test and see if its really worth the 50 to 80k extra
Damn beautiful build guys!!! When it's ready...time to hit those 3ft whoops in San Felipe B.C. at 80mph. Who knows, maybe the Baja 500 next Year? That would be awesome!!!! 🛻🌪🌪⛱️🌵
I will say, owning a JLU(XR rubicon) with mods, etc - and now also owning a 23' Base 4 door bronco sasquatch, I love them both. Yea, there's a few quality things i notice that are kind of short comings(mostly with body stuff). But overall I do love it. I think broncos are much more refined compared to first release.

Omg I just fell in love with building a Bronco, this guys ENTHUSIASM and PASSION for a better build is OUTSTANDING !!
Hold on, that's the longest commercial I've ever seen. not even HeavyD can beat it🤣🤣
I've been following APG for about a year. I'm happy that you found them. As always, you guys are living your best lives!
i am really digging the 22 badlands I have! it's no jeep, but it's doing everything i want it to. i put a BDS lift kit and 37s on it and holy cow is that a game changer!

Surprise. Did not see another Bronco in your future. Congratultions. This will be wild. Trophy level wild.
I was hoping that the Raptor was not leaving. With this new build you be carrying the Ford flag very well. Good luck with the build, cant wait to see it.

Pumped for this build! Sick of jeeps, and I have one!
Jeeps are over saturated and most are Malled out. They are mostly sad sacks.
I’m excited for this! My neighbor had an apg bronco. It’s an ultra capable and comfy as a couch.
Awesome video Kevin and Brittany, that bronco is going to be lite Brite Nation badass when it's done. Can't wait to see it
Dude!! Somebody cut his coffee off. He's maxed for the day! LOL
coffee 🤣
That's PASSION !!
I think his favorite trails are in Columbia.
I was about to say cut Kevin off so we can hear the builder explain
Haha, when I first started the video I was like wow 42 minutes, this is a long one. Once George and Kevin got at it I realized why.
I've been rocking the APG fenders on my 2 door for the last 3 months and still rock solid. Once I saw them release the kit, I was on the phone with George, credit card in hand. Not a single regret. Now I'm waiting on the V8 swap kit =)
Just throwing around hundreds of thousands of dollars like it’s nothing, and then complaining about the cars. 🤯
When you got your first Bronco was excited to see what you were going to do, then you swapped to the Braptor and I was wondering what modes are available, I am very excited to see the changes and then see how well it does Offroad. Thank you for pushing the limits of what can be done.
That is going to be a sick build
Looking forward to seeing it run and climb on the trail

Gonna be such a rad build
Love the video and the new Bronco. Can't wait to see the finished product. Looking forward to seeing it on the trails
Looks like quality stuff , can not wait to see how it handles the trails. I will be disappointed if not a portal built !
Wow they do some fantastic work can’t wait to see yours when it gets done
I had a thought you might go the APG route, can’t wait to see the lite brite tweaks on this build.
awesome outfit Brittany... loved it more than the bronco... hahaha
Vehicle look sweet, Camt wait to see yours whats done and in action.
V8 build, cant wait! George is a good dude and APG is second to none.
Your Bronco will definitely have your wheels, That's a given. But I am so excited to see this quality, no corners cut build.
I can't wait to see you guys out on the trails!!! ❤️❤️💯🤙🏼

Is this build going to be called the “Wild Child”? I’m guessing portals…
Portals and/or 42's and rear steer
We absolutely 100% miss selling our wild track. We got it at an amazing deal so resold to profit. But now it made such an impression, we are going to get another one.

I feel like the glasses & shirt matching are a hint on color
Can't wait to see the final build on this, I know that I love my Bronco and want to do some mods to it one of these days!
Toy vehicles (small) always make me chuckle.
Those fenders are super sweet, looks so much better than the crappy Raptor fenders
Wanting to see an X-Travel suspension like Lobo to work with the 74Weld portals and SDi E-CLIK shocks.

@@joshuabaker5712I’m talking about at the wheels.
Oh no here we go again!!!!
Believe it or not I love the 4 Runner for obvious reasons, however the Bronco Wildtrak naturally attracted me and just due to the Bronco having the look of an offroad vehicle just adds on to the experience of enojying what it is.
Curious, I own a 2024 Raptor that I was able to pick up for MSRP AKA $95k what was the total price out for this Bronco after APG was done with it?
Same question. I just snagged my 24 Raptor for 85k
Love the black if you ask me , very happy for you guys
The first thing I noticed when I got a jeep was the interior. The plastics in the bronco black diamond I used to have would scratch up so easily I was constantly heat gunning.

Sounds like a 4x4 minivan. I would have kept the Raptor and just waited until more upgrades became available.
Yeah I’ve seen a few Bronco builds start off with the goal of building a cheaper Raptor just to end up spending way more

I have the grey one. Love it!
Does APG do other builds I would love to see my 2007 Avy that is heavily moded brought to the next level
copper 1 is so sick! do the hood handles have a purpose?
Can you run 38’s on a non lifted stock bronco raptor with a 17 inch wheel & 0 offset? Any rubbing at full turn?
I would have guessed you'd go Icon Stage 8 & portals
How much is the WildTrac upgrade like Lite Brite Nations?
This should be an interesting build. Lets see how long it will take for Kevin to damage the body like the brapter. Happy Trails to you both.
I will say, owning a JLU(XR rubicon) with mods, etc - and now also owning a 23' Base 4 door bronco sasquatch, I love them both.

Fenders come in 1", 3", and "Home Wrecker" (HW).
How about a 351 Windsor with stroker kit witch makes a 427 and a low profile supercharger and 12 lbs and Dana 60 front and rear.
Brittany what brand of glasses are you wearing? They are pretty cool!
Blenders!
Will you put a Besttop soft top on it?
i love it..... gonna be badass!.... can't wait to see it..
How many days are you guys in town for?
I met a guy at the Texas Raptor run that does coyote conversations for the broncos.
So 50-60k for the wildtrak and then how much for APG to build me a “raptor killer”? Or even a raptor equivalent? Legit question.
Sounds like you should have got a Black diamond with the SAS like I did based on your goals.
