Did Hoonigan Do Him Dirty?! VIRAL JEEP WRECK EXPLAINED!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2023
- At this point, everyone in the off road community (and the automotive community in general) has seen the viral Jeep wreck from Hoonigan's recent This vs That Off Road episode. The question is, did Hoonigan do him dirty by not airing the walk-around of his Jeep Wrangler build or his driver interview?

For those confused about the point of this video - to clarify, no one is arguing fault of the wreck, they came to party & he sent it too hard. The question is, did they do him dirty (and the Raptor owner) by not showing their driver interviews and vehicle walk-arounds (like they generally do with all competitors) so that viewers had better knowledge of the build and drivers could have opportunity to market their company/shop in the process like they were promised. Would that have mitigated ignorant comments like some of the ones we discussed at the very end of this video? And also given the competitors at least some of the marketing benefits they were promised, but never received since the interviews weren’t aired?
Ya they most certainly did him dirty. Dixi offroad should get the publicity or atleast the same coverage as the other contenders.
( The question is, did they do him dirty (and the Raptor owner) by not showing their driver interviews and vehicle walk-arounds ) Are you going to Showcase the Raptor driver like you did with this driver? Or is this just a Jeep thing? Before anyone goes bashing me. I like Jeeps and bronco's. I like Litebrite what you all do. I just disagree on this video.
Hooligan handled the whole thing wrong they promised to do things but failed to deliver and then grabbed the lime light it may be their highest watched show but I for one won't be watching it also now the Jeeps been shown and this interview the bronco driver should have the same opportunity but Dixie off road aren't mucking around if they can fab n rebuild a vehicle that fast to that standard I honestly have to tip my hat to them for the effort and for the honesty in what happend well done as usual guys
@@damgui1 they may not know the Raptor driver?
The raptor guy was brought back the next day to do an interview and talk about his plans and even called out Bryce to race again after his raptor is rebuilt. He got his own time and segment after the wreckage on that same episode.
Coming from the racing community to the offroading community, i can confidently say we are different worlds. The offroad community is infinitely more supportive than other car scenes ive taken part of.
its quite a theme that off roaders is more of a community helping eachother then other types of racing that is introvert and the teams sometimes is way to much secret and dont speek to us we are focusing on racing and you are not in the same legue as us.
im racing RC buggys and got a history of racing RC touring cars and off road guys in RC is like full scale is more open speek to eachother helping no matter what car we drive while touring guys is the "introvert dont speek to me guys"
Absolutely. I'm an somewhat annoyingly competitive guy...
Racetracks are full of annoyingly competitive guys that make even me say "dude, relax"
Because we’re all in it together. Stuff breaks, it can and will happen to everyone at some point. We can’t afford the “us vs them” mentally, cause people would die.
Yall dont get me wrong, ive met some stellar folks that are some of my bestfriends in the world, in other car scenes and most arent offroaders. But the community as a whole, there is just no comparison. Ive never pulled up to a wheeling event and there be fights breaking out. Vehicles being broken into/stolen. Idiots that dont understand their vehicle putting bystanders at risk. That happens everywhere in the drag scene, drift scene, bike scene, cant speak for roadtrack guys but i mean, bar none the offroading community has the highest level of respect for the community. Again, in my experience.
I guess because of "racing" mentality, it's a bit different than the camaraderie off-roader's share with each other.
Glad you guys covered this better. No doubt he over drove the jeep and I’m sure he knows that. The issue is when a media company like Hoonigan promises screen time and shop information and does none of that it leaves a bad taste in people’s mouth.
Hoonigan isn’t the same deal as before it sold. All the old school talent and builds are gone.😢
Exactly! No one is arguing fault of the wreck, they came to party & he sent it too hard. The question is, did they do him dirty (and the Raptor owner) by not showing their driver interviews and vehicle walk-arounds (like they generally do with all competitors) so that viewers had better knowledge of the build (and drivers could have marketed their company/shop in the process like promised). Would that have also mitigated ignorant comments like some of the ones we discussed at the very end of this video?
Its the same people on that event just right before they bounce, maybe is the reason why they left
Good of you guys to bring this to Lite! Such a shame to learn how the Hoonigan crew treated him! Off-road community; NO ONE is left behind.
Love Bryce! He is the only shop that has ever talked me out of doing something on my jeep because he thought it was the wrong direction for what I have. Super honest shop and super honest guy. Glad to see Bryce is doing well! Go to Dixie, they are great!!
Thank you for doing this for Bryce. Bryce and his family are quite simply great people. His parents fixed my Jeep in Moab on a weekend when their shop was not even open so that I could make it home. Thank you for using your influence for good and to show respect and honor and be good people. We need more of it. Heavy respect!
similar story for me. I was in Moab and my clutch completely burned out. I was supposed to leave in 2 days! Bryce took it on, and got the clutch replaced in a day and a half, including staying in Moab on a Friday night to finish up Saturday morning, even though he was commuting from St George! If they were still open in Moab, they would be my top recommendation for repairs. I will always recommend Dixie 4wd!
Respect props to you, Lite Brite, to give us “the rest of the story”. You do your friends proud!
Paul Harvey agrees
Glad the driver didn’t get seriously hurt and this rebuild is insane! I swear I’m in the wrong business. I can’t even afford a lift and tires for my bronco, and this guy did an insane rebuild in three months. Glad y’all gave this man and his company the platform to give a explanation they deserve about the incident.
This was a solid move to give Bryce a shot to talk about what happened. I had a chance to to see the tub in person and it’s amazing he walked away! I look forward to seeing him on the mountain in 2024!
Great job LiteBrite for helping to set the record straight and help show a more enlightened side of the owner's story.
Hoonigan got bought out and most of the people you know are hitting the eject button, they aren’t the same as you think they are.
I liked this dude way back when. He just seems really genuine which is hard to find nowadays. I’m glad he didn’t get hurt except maybe a smidge of pride. The new rig is phenomenal brother!! Much love from Louisiana!!!
They did him did him dirty 100% glad he is ok and the rebuilt Jeep looks bad ass!
This is what I love about the off-road community! Taking the time to check on someone else, get the full information and see what they have done after said wreck or breakdown. I thought the video from Hoonigan was a little sketchy, I'm not bad nothing them. It just seemed like they were looking for carnage at the owners expense. Bryce, your new jeep looks great. Thank you for sharing your story and I'm glad you're okay. Keep the adventures coming guys.
Good on you guys for hangin with Bryce and leveling some things up 😁👊🏻.
Definitely went there to send it for sure and accomplished that ten fold !!! Glad he is safe .
Unfortunately in todays world greed supersedes character in “most” social entities.
I am supremely happy to support y’all as you have been a great example for people as individuals and the trends of character doesn’t have to be exchanged for exposure .
Good job you guys 🇺🇸👊🏻🥃🥃 tequila on the rocks someday y’all 👍🏻
Sad to see how Hoonigan mis-handled this situation. It would be great if they gave a sincere apology (aired all of the footage) and tried their best to do better going forward.
Homie just went too hard! lol being competitive gets the best of us sometimes!
He definitely sent it too hard. We simply think showing a build walk-around and driver interview (like they generally do for all competitors) might have mitigated some of the more ignorant reactions/comments regarding the Jeep build like ones we discussed at the very end of this video.
I love Hoonigan but yes they did do the drivesrs dirty by not showing their walk arounds and interviews. Glad you guys did this👍
Awesome of you guys to do this with Bryce. Most of those ignorant comments were 5#/+€; no 'almost' stock Jeep would have got past the first jump. In fact it would be great to see two stock cars going head to head with bets on who gets the farthest, not who gets to the end first.
Thank you Kevin and Brittany for giving Bryce the due diligence for his side of the story. It was a picture worthy crash, but he is truly good at what he does and it showed, especially with the rebuilt just like you would do. Truly professionals in the industry and appreciate the great coverage. Stay safe, Happy Holidays.
He is fantastic at what he does. Nobody I would trust more to build me a rig, oh wait, he is building me a rig. 🙂
I’m Glad He’s Ok!! I know how it is to jump out and say I’m ok being more worried about your vehicle than yourself at the moment! I watched it the day it came out and I knew how fast he was going it wasn’t going to end well! I was mad at the title of this video in the beginning but hearing him out and thinking back they didn’t talk to him about his business or anything and they definitely got the views off his bad luck!!! But I’m not mad about it at all because you guys gave him the time and recognition he deserves and deserved to have then! Especially when he lost all that money and time! Thank God He’s Ok!!!
I didn't understand why they didn't show anything about the build. They never did that before thought it was bullshit. But they got their carnage video, and I think that's all they wanted. Anyway people now days only care about themselves so I can't say I'm surprised..
Thanks for the build video here u guys rock
Probably one of your best videos you've ever put out. Thanks for putting this one out there.
Bryce seems like a great guy, glad he’s not hurt and his Jeep is rad!
I was blown away by how hard Bryce and the Raptor guy sent it in their ThisVsThat. Glad you’re ok Bryce!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!
I was like WTF when that video dropped. That poor man’s replacement for Hert had me pissed right from the get go. I don’t know what’s going on with that channel but I see the OGs have been slitting to do their own things lately. That definitely owe this guy an apology and some respect.
Thanks for putting this out. I know for one I was super bummed the episode didn’t go over either build.
Thanks for doing this guys 🙏... Nobody gets left behind!! I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄🥃🏆
Love that you guys did this. I know from experience that some of the peeps that do things, don't always disclose what they are or what they have done . Saddens me .
Thanks for making this video. I saw this wreck on the episode and had no idea how well built that jeep was.
I'm glad he was not seriously hurt. The off road community needs Dixie 4wd does it need hoonigan? Nope. I'd much rather support someone who I know would help me on a trail at midnight and not leave until they knew I was good. I cringe everytime seeing you're wreck but I appreciate litebrite taking the time to make this video for those of us who truly do care about the Off-Roading community.
Amazing rebuild - great job guys! Nice to put the record straight - great Company - sent it and paid a heavy price - live and learn - love the response - new version is just Sick!!!!!
I gotta admit, when I saw this posted tonight I thought of god what no content? Just some bs. But….. this was so awesome to hear his side and the lead up and the overcoming of a shitty situation. Thanks for shining some light on this. 👍👍
OMG - I'm so glad you addressed this "oversight?". I'm sure we all felt the same as you.
You guys make me happy with your thoughtfulness towards him, and letting everyone know the whole picture. I love it here in Utah.
Great video! Thanks for supporting the off-road community. 🤘
One of the best shops in the biz. I've broke twice wheeling sand hallow. Both times someone answered the phone after hours and got me the parts i needed.
Yeah I never seen this “viral” video till now.
Pops up daily
This video needed to be made. I was really surprised they didn't explain or show more of the jeep. Good deal 🤜🤛
Drag racers stay and help, too. This may give a little insite to why people are leaving Hoonigan. Between Ken and them being bought I'm betting it's just not the same there anymore.
feel the same that hoonigan turned in to a show that whant to show of more on their own cars and people and look like a low key rappvideo then invite people show their cars and pasion for cars and the hobby no matter if its a full blown trophy truck or a stock miata.
hoon is not the same as before, it changed to something less desireble.
Glad to see you be able to
"make light" of everything.
I give you a TON of respect for handling the situation as a whole so good!
This was a big deal even for the crews with an endless budget this would have been a big deal!
I absolutely love you guys did this video. Shows the character you have. You didn’t have to showcase Dixie like this, but it is super cool you gave them an opportunity to be seen, and heard, in this way. And, to get the promotion they deserve.
Bryce & LiteBrite crew... Thank you for making this video. I'm now almost happy they didn't give the walk around / driver interview because then we might not of got this much longer, indepth information.
Thanks for taking the time and informing all of us with the FACTS!
Love to see you both looking out for guys like this! It's good to get the whole story on something like this.
Having met Bryce on the trail in Moab , I felt bad for him for not getting a break with them going over his Jeep, people thought it was a stock 392, which it isn’t. I’m glad he talked about the suspension not being fully setup. Most don’t understand how capable that rig is off road and more important how good it is on road. A tough balance to achieve
Thank you guys for doing this video. Really good to see no one was hurt to bad. Crazy ass shit through! What a ride
This video makes me proud to be a part of the off-roading community. Nice Job!
I'm really glad you did this video. I had seen the Raptor truck video but not his jeep wreck. Glad to know he came out with minimal injuries.
Bryce is such a rad dude! 💯
This was a great fucking video guys and while sure it's not your original content type it was definitely NEEDED. I know that they are so thankful that you guys gave them the time to tell their side and most importantly gave them the recognition and publicity that they deserve because they absolutely do deserve it. We have baby jeeps at the moment but aspire to have these amazing types of builds one day!
Thanks for always being stand up human beings!
Maybe we all need to flood hoonigans social media platforms with questions, mainly, why no walk around on the Jeep. Glad Bryce is ok, the refreshed version of the JL looks great, and screw all of the haters that talked smack, until they are in the driver seat in a race they will not understand the adrenalin rush that leads to these bad decisions.
WOW!!!! I am so glad you didn't get seriously hurt. Your rebuild looks awesome!
That comment that Blake Wilke said about people thinking you can just strap a good pair of springs on your jeep and you think you have an off-road vehicle I’m not gonna lie it really pissed me off. I’m glad you guys got a hold of Bryce and got his side.
Blake’s a pretty cool dude, and after Kevin and I talked about it, we’re pretty sure that some of the stuff he said was meant “generally”. Like “you” (as in the regular viewer), can’t just bolt on coilovers and send it like a trophy truck. We don’t think he was referring to Bryce or his Jeep specifically….but without a vehicle walk-around, it was very easy to assume he was (at least to viewers who didn’t know Bryce or his build)
That was by far my favorite episode of this vs that so far. Made for a great video. It's unfortunate it came at the driver's expense but that's the way she goes. Glad nobody was seriously injured. Hoonigan is going to make a fortune on that video.
I thought the same thing about them not doing the vehicle walk around I thought it was weird. Then when I saw the crashes, I realized the main focus of that video was going to be the crash is not the drivers or their vehicles
Very cool of you to shed light on the situation. Great video.
Thank you for this. Yall are awesome!
So awesome that you did this for and with Bryce. Badass build and great to see it built back again.
Love Bryce, Love the shop, they took care of my daughter and her Jeep for the 4 years of college she was there. They also supported her and gave her all the confidence during their sponsored trail rides. So glad Bryce walked away. Love the rebuild.
First I have learned about this incident. Have always heard positive comments about Dixie 4 Wheel Drive. Don't think I'll go to Hoonigan's site to give them view count. Sounds like Bryce can steer me to the right person for custom work to do on my jeep. Glad to know Bryce is good both physically and mentally (i.e. positive outlook and thankful to be able to live life). Thanks for sharing.
What made me upset, was the guy in the Raptor literally passed out. The truck kept driving on its own and they were just laughing about it. "Where's he going blah blah" he's obviously passed out!
It really is a bummer that he crashed his jl, and what's really sad is as he said they didn't stay and help him. That just shows that the Hoonigan bunch has no integrity.
You guys are great for this community!!!
Thank you lite Brite for being real people and looking out for others as we all should
Great content…. Thanks and merry Christmas
This was a great vid. It’s great how you guys set the record straight.
Great shop great people. Glad you guys gave him the opportunity to set the record straight
Kevin...You & Brad Have "Stepped Up To The Plate"...And I'm Super Proud Of Both Ya'll. God Bless.!!!
Cool to see you portray the whole story . Good job .
Great video! Bryce owns and operates a great shop. I had work done at Dixie 4x4 this year when I was at Trail Hero. Great people do great work at Dixie! Thanks for making this video Kevin and Brittany
Shame on Hooligan....Hoonigan,no Hooligan. Glad you were not seriously injured. Fantastic recovery and build.
Definitely sounds like someone did him wrong by not staying back and helping, keeping eyes on him for health issues. But he does own his mistake about what went wrong.
Glad he came out relatively ok
No one is arguing fault of the wreck, they came to party & he sent it too hard. The question is, did they do him dirty (and the Raptor owner) by not showing their driver interviews and vehicle walk-arounds (like they generally do with all competitors) so that viewers had better knowledge of the build (and drivers could have marketed their company/shop in the process like promised). Would that have mitigated ignorant comments like some of the ones we discussed at the very end of this video?
@@LiteBrite stop copy pasting the exact same response to every comment without actually addressing people's thoughts, views and opinions on what happened. You're not doing your Viewers Justice by doing them dirty with a copy paste response! Fucking lame move LiteBrite! Do better!
@@reanukeevesau stfu and troll Prius videos Dmfk it's not their fault you can't fkn read
@@reanukeevesau Are you challenged? Liking your own comments is lame yet you do it
Great video, I was wondering what happened to all the driver and Jeep details when I seen that Hoonigan video, glad Bryce is ok and the rebuild looks amazing.
The new cage is sweet. Excellent fabrication work.
Good video, thanks for explaining all this
I watched the episode and tbh, there was a contagious can of beans given to a couple players that day. The raptor huck to flat that preceded the rubicon was equally as epic.
Wow! I saw the Red Dixie JL, all crushed and bruised, at Dixie 4x - photos and videos do not do the damage justice. The rebuild is spectacular! So much talent and hard work! "Everybody wants to be a critic." Pay no attention to them; y'all know what you're doing. The proof is in the results! LIteBriteNationFriendsPhoenixRises!
You guys rock! Glad you made this video coming out strong supporting our off-road family. Hoonigan should be ashamed….unsubscribed from their UA-cam.
Thanks Lite Brite for using your super powers for good. This was a great vid and was needed to clear the air.
Glad you did this! Deserved more than what was presented originally.
I am glad Bryce is ok. That is one heck of a jeep and one he'll of a build/driver. Great job. Keep it on all 4's.
Great comeback! Cool vlog. Gotta look out for your community. Your friends and those close. Lite Brite and Dixie. Cool area.
Glad you are ok after that wreck I watched the end a few times to see how bad it was a jeep owner myself. The new version looks really awesome I need to get out on the trail with mine and play a bit looks like a great time.
Kevin and Britt….you are legit people.
LiteBrite this might be your best video yet. thank got he survived. glad to see the cage and harness in the rebuild.
It was really cool of Lite Brite to let him set the record straight!
Totally awesome you guys did this,you guys are solid
That was insane. Happy Trails to both of you.
Great video thank you!
Really glad that you made this video. It is good to get the “rest of the story”.
Learned alot from this video, I didn't know who was driving the Jeep and now I'm glad I do. Awesome vehicle build x2 and great person and solid company history in Utah.
Good on you for this video and it's content!! You've done Bryce and Dixie 4 wheel drive, a great service!! It speaks volumes of your character and the off-road community, as a whole!!
I was blown away when I saw Bryce crawl out of that wreck saying he’s good, tough (lucky) sob right there! I’d love to see his rebuilt rig run some trails with the fresh Stepchild. Classy move here guys, much appreciated!
Visited their shop in Moab and few years ago. Great people.
Bryce and Lite Brite really make me wish I lived in Utah. Bryce, glad you came through the injuries. Great recovery on the Jeep - all you need now is a set of airplane flaps and you'll nail those whoops... obtw when ther are that extreme of whoops, they're called Whoa's! (lol) Nice interview Kev & Brit. Luv ya guys!!!
They definitely did him dirty they were just looking for veiws. I love hoonigan but you can definitely tell they are turning towards a business/ corp way of running things, rather than the crazy builds/community way of things we used to see in the past.
Hey Lite Brite love this video with all the content and that Kevin is wearing his Matt's off road recovery shirt!
Speechless, great video
Great video. Thank you.
I did watch his race before that footage went viral.
The hoonigan did do him dirty. Because they didn’t do a walk around & ask him his experience & what not.
He also did himself dirty too. He didn’t have to go that hard in the whoops. But hey! He was racing.
The other guy he was racing was the camera guy for the hoonigan. He was also using his personal family moded vehicle (bronco) too because the other truck (raptor) that he was previously racing against sent it too hard. The truck flew way too high & landed on the flats which damaged his truck & hurting himself at the same time. They explained it on the video here.
Yeah, that’s messed up that they left you hanging to go eat while your vehicle & yourself is messed up.
