Bec, you always liven up the videos with your great personality, as,well as being in great shape ! I'm so glad you and Chris team up for these videos. You both are so meticulous ,and intelligent which makes your builds so much fun! Thanks for sharing your guys projects! 😎👍
Both the Women are outstanding, Bec's arms, WO, Yes she is outstandingly fit and a great Welder and Fabricator, if I didn't own 3 Jeeps, a F250 460ci 1 ton extended cab 4x4, and my pride a 76 K5 Blazer small block 400ci stoked to 430ci, that fits well in Johnson Valley, home; I would get a 4x4, just to hang. Good job on the Jeep and keeping fit and our attention, really nice LS
Bec I love that you and Chris decided on a LS swap it's a dependable platform. And the transmission you chose was great as well. As always I can't wait for your next video keep up the great work.
Chris, Kevin and Brittany are truly lucky to have met up with you and I'm sure they know it. You are a rock star when it comes to getting sh*t done! Talent is so hard to find and you Rock!
What I loves about jeeps and many other family friendly activities, the gals and kids are usually actually actively involved, learning helping, ENJOYING together as family and even friends are family
Hard to believe it’s been a year already but it’s awesome having Bec and ok Chris too jk. But seriously you two are awesome additions. Hopefully see a lot more of you.
50th! It’s a Bec Body Build Car Wash and Engine Prep Show, with Chris! Wait - no Bikini for Chris?! That is going to be one sweet LJ, Bec. So much hard work doing all the detailing, but always better to start clean. Yeah, the humidify has been tough with “Monsoon Season.” And of course Jelly steals the scene! LiteBriteNationTeamEngineSwap!
I'm really lovin the direction your LJ is going Bec ! It's going to be so awesome when you guys are done with it . Looking forward to your next video guys, take care.
Bec, you and Chris... or maybe I should say... Chris, you and Bec... make such a good team. It is always a pleasure watching you 2 work on a vehicle. You compliment each other. Until next time... Wrench safe,
Your LJ is looking sick cant wait to hear that thing fire up. Bet the LJ will give the stepchild a good run lol...that actually would be interesting to see🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
You both make a "SUPER TEAM", as I have said before, more than an asset to THE LITE BRIGHT NATION channel . Great video on an engine refurbish. Greeting's from the U/K.
Guessed it was an LS. Perfect for the LJ's size and weight. Love the sparkle touch Bec! Coupled with the hose and pulley replacements it looks ready to make some HP and Torque. I would suggest doing Lizard Skin on the tub and firewall since you have it apart. They make both heat and sound deadening. Shop time videos with Bec and Chris are great for the channel. Keep them coming.
7:40 I’m not trying to be rude but your mechanic skills on the engine were more WINNING than the checkered winner top. Woman YOU have skills! Cheers to engines and working projects.
So crazy to think its been a year already! Honestly good color choice on the block. And let's talk about the elephant in the room....the jeep wasn't the only thing lookin good! And honestly wanna know, when in the world are Chris and Beck gunna announce their relationship status with each other, c'mon im sure im not the only one that wants to know!! For real though, you two work great together!!
Great choice on the engine. Can't wait to see it done. I've been thinking hard on putting a 5.3 in my 2 door jk, I'd have to reach out to motech or someone tho as I don't think I have the space to do the conversion myself.
Really interested in this build. I have an old 2002 TJ that I recently bought so watching what Chris and Bec are doing. Always enjoy the two of yall's vids.
I have installed 5.9L RAM engines in 4 TJ's. It's as close to plug and play as you can get using a RAM ECU. Little bit of exhaust work, relocate the front motor mounts, a V8 radiator and your on the road. Plenty of power and very reliable. Oh my picture here is the first one I did back in 2010 and I'm still driving it. Used the original jeep 5-speed and upgraded the t-case to a 242j from a WJ. Chev LS is a great engine but a lot of extra work and expence.
Chris and/or Beck - are you going to swap out the OEM fuel tank for an extended range fuel tank to increase the range of the LJ? Interested to see what can be done for a 2 door versus a 4 door as far as space underneath. Otherwise engine looks sharp, wonder how it will do on the dyno once everything is back together.
An LS swap into a jeep?? Oh my, not a big power Mopar?? Well, it is actually good to see that you guys are not afraid to go against the current and make a great ride with GM power. I always enjoy your build videos, you both are excellent mechanics and know how to make a great video!
I have a 3.6l in my jeep and it smokes my old 4.0 in the power spectrum. Id never want a hemi, too heavy, id only consider a 5.3l/6.0 lt but the jeep is only 10 years old, so maybe when im old. A short jeep with a hemi creates lots of balance issues, i do miss my tj to bits tho
Simply wonderful.... great shop video.... your gonna have fun with that engine...Yeaaaaaa Jelly🐶..... keep the shop videos coming... egarly awaiting your next video....Safe travels
Bec has the best work uniforms. Wait, what? there's a engine and jeep in this one . I know I saw Jelly I think I saw Chris. Well I guess I'll have to watch it again. All kidding aside, y'all make some of the best and enjoyable videos . Y'all keep Kevin and Brittany straight up there. On second thought that might be asking a little much. Thanks y'all.
I replaced my 2.5l with complete drive train from 2001 suburban. The TJ is so much more capable now. Hemi swap was not on the budget. My TJ only had 61k on clock. Sold parts from it and was + $600 after swap. Enjoy the power change Bec. Oh and change out the oil pan. It's dangerously low... Also frame will need to be notched for A/C to have clearance. Chris can handle that
Attention to detail..😎 meticulous on some of the intricate parts,,, watching the install of valve cover gaskets and bolts,,, cleaning,,, great video 😎 Thanks
Instead of "Bikini Girls With Machine Guns", this is all about Becini, The Girl With The Power Washer, and frankly I don't think anyone is gonna complain about that. This is a rather complicated U-joint replacement.
Bec , you are going to want to swap your drivers side valve cover for an updated one. I seen yours had the round hole in the baffle which is an old version and was the main cause for oil consumption problems. I replaced mine with the new updated valve cover which has a square hole in the baffle with deflectors for the PCV baffle. It fixed my oil consumption issues on an 05 5.3.
I’ve got a LQ9 in my TJ and love it ..a couple aftermarket parts and I’ve got less than $2,500 in a 400’ish HP super reliable power plant. There’s a reason everybody ends up with LS based stuff , cheap and strong and parts at every corner parts store.
Bec and Chris awesome video and Bec the sparkles are definitely cool and that LS looks awesome it couldn’t have very many miles and the outside looks like a million bucks great job can’t wait for the 4l60 to get there so we can watch the install and my favorite part first start and test drive can’t wait
I was wondering when bec was going to give that Lj some real love .going to be a sweet ride .can’t wait to see it completed.nice wash job too.👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I guessed the LS 5.3 ! We got our bikini car wash. At least Bec did the car wash in the backyard! 😂😂😂 Jeep is looking good ! Can’t wait to see it done. Makes me want to take my TPI motor out of my Jeep and go LS. 🤔
Great video! I had an Ls eng from a 2003 1500z71 that I was gonna install in my 06 tj but someone hit me head on while texting and driving in a stolen car totalling my jeep, hoping I can get another jeep one day.... keep the great content coming 👌
Love this video series. I also have an LJ that is pretty highly modded. I also know the owner of Jeepetos which is the sticker on back window of the LJ. Very cool
Bec, you always liven up the videos with your great personality, as,well as being in great shape ! I'm so glad you and Chris team up for these videos. You both are so meticulous ,and intelligent which makes your builds so much fun! Thanks for sharing your guys projects! 😎👍
Me beck. Me wash Jeep. Me beck. Me push Jeep. Me beck. Me install engine one hand…. Lol. Great job guys.
What Brad said.

Bec as always looks fit! She has been a very welcome addition to the Lite Brite crew!
Both the Women are outstanding, Bec's arms, WO, Yes she is outstandingly fit and a great Welder and Fabricator, if I didn't own 3 Jeeps, a F250 460ci 1 ton extended cab 4x4, and my pride a 76 K5 Blazer small block 400ci stoked to 430ci, that fits well in Johnson Valley, home; I would get a 4x4, just to hang.

Wasn't expecting that was the surprise.. lol not disappointed
What I loves about jeeps and many other family friendly activities, the gals and kids are usually actually actively involved, learning helping, ENJOYING together as family and even friends are family
Great choice on the motor, enjoy the car wash scene 👍🏻
Hard to believe it’s been a year already but it’s awesome having Bec and ok Chris too jk. But seriously you two are awesome additions. Hopefully see a lot more of you.

New that was a Chevy LS

I had a 5.3 in my 83 CJ7 and I felt it was a great choice. Pulled well and made things effortless, while running around and offroad.
@ 9:50 Jesus leans in, "Whatacha watching" ? Lol
Can’t give too much respect for those with skills and extreme attention to detail. Fantastic build.
Going to be a awesome build. Love watching Chris and Bec. Good times
Thank you dear Jesus for the small gift you have bestowed upon us.👍
Hallelujah! 🙌🏻
Your not kidding
It's awesome to see you guys working on your own stuff too! Great work
I'm really lovin the direction your LJ is going Bec ! It's going to be so awesome when you guys are done with it . Looking forward to your next video guys, take care.
Beck got that body like WOOPOW! 😍
Now that's one GREAT opening. DAMN. 😁😁😁
I really enjoy your show. You two work so well together. Beth is becoming a good fabricator and mechanic .
And a model
@LiteBrite
YES, an LS Jeep build, love the build because it's more relatable to the builds of us common folk.
I skipped to the car wash scene then re watched the whole video 🤣🤣 great job guys!
With the Bec`s help, Chris, everything looks like new .
That LS is awesome. Great job cleaning that thing up.
Bec and Chris you make such a good team, makes the that much better.
That new rig is tough !!
Can't wait to see the build process and it run some trails !! 💪🙏
Momma always said don't take candy from a stranger or you'll end up in their basement for a year.... lol Motor looks good though.
Bec, you and Chris... or maybe I should say... Chris, you and Bec... make such a good team. It is always a pleasure watching you 2 work on a vehicle. You compliment each other. Until next time... Wrench safe,
Perfect engine/trans for your LJ! It'll be a blast to drive 😜
I never saw that coming! Good Luck with that engine and as always Happy Trails to all of you!
Your LJ is looking sick cant wait to hear that thing fire up. Bet the LJ will give the stepchild a good run lol...that actually would be interesting to see🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Nailed it! I knew it was an LS. This is going to be one awesome build!
NOW, THATS HOW YOU START A UA-cam VIDEO... KEEP IT UP BECK🤪💯❤️🔥
You both make a "SUPER TEAM", as I have said before, more than an asset to THE LITE BRIGHT NATION channel . Great video on an engine refurbish. Greeting's from the U/K.
Bec can wash my truck anytime. So glad i didn't see Chris in a speedo. 🤣😂 y'all two are aways doing great work. Can't wait see it done.
Guessed it was an LS. Perfect for the LJ's size and weight. Love the sparkle touch Bec! Coupled with the hose and pulley replacements it looks ready to make some HP and Torque.
I would suggest doing Lizard Skin on the tub and firewall since you have it apart. They make both heat and sound deadening.
Shop time videos with Bec and Chris are great for the channel. Keep them coming.
Dang I wasn't expecting that beck 😂
Always fun to watch thanks for the hard work you guys put in better than regular tv shows
And an awesome addition she was. You two make an awesome team
Bec was a great addition to the channel! I actually watch the channel primarily for your fab work and builds.
Great video. Can't wait to see the end result. I'm sure it's going to be awesome!
Excellent video. 1 Year anniversary for you with Lite Brite, neat.
You guys chose the best most sensible engine choice !! Plenty of power , reliability and gobbs of aftermarket upgradability ….
I still think "Snowball" 🤔 would be a great name for the LJ...
Awesome video! Need more Beck in the videos. She is awesome!
Good job guys, can't wait to see the rest of the progress and the final outcome. Bec, wow! 😍 (with all due respect)
7:40 I’m not trying to be rude but your mechanic skills on the engine were more WINNING than the checkered winner top. Woman YOU have skills! Cheers to engines and working projects.
You are the bomb Bec!!!! And the LJ is pretty cool too!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Your jeep is going to sound amazing with that New engine in it. Can’t wait to see it once it’s done.
So crazy to think its been a year already! Honestly good color choice on the block. And let's talk about the elephant in the room....the jeep wasn't the only thing lookin good! And honestly wanna know, when in the world are Chris and Beck gunna announce their relationship status with each other, c'mon im sure im not the only one that wants to know!!

The back end sure looks good 😀☺️
Great choice on the engine. Can't wait to see it done. I've been thinking hard on putting a 5.3 in my 2 door jk, I'd have to reach out to motech or someone tho as I don't think I have the space to do the conversion myself.
UA-cam subtitles today: "What's up black bright nation?" Black ... or bright? Can't be both. Great vid. Love the swaps. Love the muscles.
Really interested in this build. I have an old 2002 TJ that I recently bought so watching what Chris and Bec are doing. Always enjoy the two of yall's vids.

I may have watched this video 35583 times. 😛
Brittany seems to be MIA. Have not seen a wheeling video in awhile. Glad they got you two to keep it real.
Sometimes we need time away and some vacation time
Chris and/or Beck - are you going to swap out the OEM fuel tank for an extended range fuel tank to increase the range of the LJ? Interested to see what can be done for a 2 door versus a 4 door as far as space underneath. Otherwise engine looks sharp, wonder how it will do on the dyno once everything is back together.
Best engine swap video on You tube. Thanks
A jeep beach ⛱️ intro is a great start to a video.
I have a 1985 Scrambler that will have a modified 6.0 LS in it soon.
Nice work you 2.
👍

That looks to be a mint engine!! I am curious, what is the tattoo on Bec's left inside arm?
Simply wonderful.... great shop video.... your gonna have fun with that engine...Yeaaaaaa Jelly🐶..... keep the shop videos coming... egarly awaiting your next video....Safe travels
Bec has the best work uniforms. Wait, what? there's a engine and jeep in this one . I know I saw Jelly I think I saw Chris. Well I guess I'll have to watch it again.

Great video so glad you are going with the LS engine really enjoy watching you two work 👍🏻
Can't go wrong with an LS. LJ be bad ass when complete.✌️💪

Also frame will need to be notched for A/C to have clearance. Chris can handle that
Attention to detail..😎 meticulous on some of the intricate parts,,, watching the install of valve cover gaskets and bolts,,, cleaning,,, great video 😎 Thanks
Lite Brite Garage thank you for your time.
Good job you two, and Beck - WOWZA!!!
FYI triangle on end of spark plugs indicates factory installed plugs.
Put in some ngk rutheniums.
Bec and Chris garage Sundays are the best
Where are the high heels when pushing that Jeep body. -Hahah
Instead of "Bikini Girls With Machine Guns", this is all about Becini, The Girl With The Power Washer, and frankly I don't think anyone is gonna complain about that.
This is a rather complicated U-joint replacement.
Cool video. There are 2 Over-Heat Disk Tabs on the rear of each head. So the heads were probably rebuilt. Those don't come on there from the factory..
nice looking eng. so cool and clean. can't wait to see you trail her. can't believe it's been a year. one of the best add to the channel. God bless.
Ha! What's up Chris?! Long time bud and all of a sudden you pop up on my UA-cam feed!
Love yalls Tech side and builds. But.
No complaints in some prep and clean up before . Lol 😊
Keep up great videos 😎
Bec , you are going to want to swap your drivers side valve cover for an updated one. I seen yours had the round hole in the baffle which is an old version and was the main cause for oil consumption problems. I replaced mine with the new updated valve cover which has a square hole in the baffle with deflectors for the PCV baffle. It fixed my oil consumption issues on an 05 5.3.
That's so great how you work on projects together love it
I see that you found a great way to increase viewership. Good work.
Spectacular work guys, can't wait for the next episode. 😀
I’ve got a LQ9 in my TJ and love it ..a couple aftermarket parts and I’ve got less than $2,500 in a 400’ish HP super reliable power plant. There’s a reason everybody ends up with LS based stuff , cheap and strong and parts at every corner parts store.

I was wondering when bec was going to give that Lj some real love .going to be a sweet ride .can’t wait to see it completed.nice wash job too.👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This build is something I would like to do.
Great choice going with the LS! #SWEET 😎✌️
Every garage in the country is wondering where do they get a Bec.... :)
I guessed the LS 5.3 ! We got our bikini car wash. At least Bec did the car wash in the backyard! 😂😂😂 Jeep is looking good ! Can’t wait to see it done. Makes me want to take my TPI motor out of my Jeep and go LS. 🤔
another video gets two thumbs up! love the content on this channel, its never boring.
Great video! I had an Ls eng from a 2003 1500z71 that I was gonna install in my 06 tj but someone hit me head on while texting and driving in a stolen car totalling my jeep, hoping I can get another jeep one day.... keep the great content coming 👌
Great content as always. Can’t wait till I can buy my first jeep
Can’t wait to see the finished project
Love this video series. I also have an LJ that is pretty highly modded. I also know the owner of Jeepetos which is the sticker on back window of the LJ. Very cool
Oooh all glisteningly... like a "Snowball" in the sunlight🤔🤣
You could coat those headers to keep things cooler. But you know that. Cerekote C series and a prevail sprayer. Don’t forget the proper strainer.
Dang good idea to get it all clean
Those small block chevys are tough motors, Becc do you compete or just train and stay in shape?
Awsome Video ! Can't wait to see this jeep once its all done !
Yep that's exactly what I thought you were going to put in
The engine color makes it look like a Poncho motor. Should be a sweet ride once done.
