IT'S THE OLD AGE PROBLEM. If you don't know what you're doing- then don't do it.
If we all followed your logic, literally nothing would get done and nobody would learn anything.
@@PoleBarnGaragelol❤
@@PoleBarnGarage I used to service jags of all sorts, even done head gaskets on a V12, still got a crows foot tools I made to get to the underside nuts to get the heads of, then refitted. I knew what i was doing, so your assumption is cockeyed - lol - If you don't know or not got a clue why faff about pretending you know what your NOT doing. We race all sorts of old jags as contact oval sport here In the UK called Banger racing, not like yankee DD, ours are up to 50 cars a race, with one winner over 30 or more laps. Old jags are not that sort after as road cars, , as nothing Is too good to get raced and smashed, even had races for old Rolls Royce`s, but, they MUST run right or get trashed on the first lap. Its Ironic that UK cars are getting bigger from new while USA cars seem to get smaller each year. You will be driving little smart cars soon, and junk everything else, but that's a shame unless you race the boat anchors, or just dump them in big fields for the rats and mouse to eat there insides.
If anyone followed that then humans would’ve never made it to the moon
i dont think this rusty 500 dollar used up jag is going to go overseas to race in some 50 car race yadda yadda so whats there to lose? Your advice sucks, its a hobby to work on cars and everyone learns by experience, its all in good fun.
And whats this about smart cars wtf they arent even sold in the us? Literally all americans drive are giant ass suvs
Oh god they’re multiplying
Spreading like a disease
Case and point why everyone just replaced the V12 with a Chevy 350 when they broke instead of fixing it
Dalton or the jags lol 😂
The more jags the better
@Carnivore-rm7rl everyone loves a good jagoff
I don’t know what was funnier. The fact that the car sounds like a helicopter is hovering overhead. JD stomping out the fire that was revealed when you pulled away. Or, JD saying, “oh god I hope it has breaks.” And all of that happened in about a 45 second span. That little segment needs to be the trailer for the eventual documentary of your lives.
Channel trailer.
Brakes!
Plus when they are driving inside, it sounds like popcorn being popped.
Turbo the other jag
The “FUCK!” From dalton off camera and somewhere distant after the car caught on fire 😂😂😂
Then right after
JD: I thought you said no fire extinguisher!
Dalton: FUCK IT!
Jd Is becoming one heck of a Good filmer too! that zoom in on your face Dalton was priceless
I laughed so hard because for a second I thought it was done in editing, but nope, JD's natural reaction to his Dad's struggles is to just "let's do a slow zoom to really emphasize the futility of this situation!" 🤣🤣
I love that one of the primary premises of this channel is that JD is the responsible adult
Hilarious comment, spot on😂
You figured out how to wire and start an old Jag. You're in the top 5% of all Jag mechanics.
As a viewer from the other side of the pond really love the channel, stick with the V12 these are actually pretty strong reliable motors let down by budget cut ancillaries! Go with the twin 4 barrel setup and you will love the sound. Good luck!
Isn't there a company that sells upgraded ancillaries to make them more reliable?
Rear main seals were notorious on these too.
Great engineering let down by British Leyland.
So many raced on banger tracks now along with all sorts of old jags, most have a 3litre Essex V6 chucked under the bonnet for reliable power. go check some UK banger videos.
In this weeks episode of "Don't tell your mother what we were doing"..... Great work, stay safe!
Holy shit, I had the best idea ever! Make the LTD into a truck....then get the intake for the V12, then put the V12 in the new LTD truck, then power tour. Now that would be a build series.
That would be awesome
DO IT!!!
ooooooooh insane idea
Mid engine. Then it’s a ford ltd pickup that’s also a mid engine v12 hypercar
I would so love to see that.
So I started watching Kevins video about the Chevy and it hit me:
If you get about 2-3-4 more jags, and get kevin to come to your place, he can host an episode of "Jagyard digs"
Grand Prix Grand Prix but with Jags.
Junkyard Jags
@@JasperTVJunkyard Jaaaaaaggggs!
I watch a lot of UA-cam, like; a lot, and honestly 27:07 has to be one of the most amusing, wholesome, genuine and relatable bits of content I've seen in maybe years.
"Oh, I thought you said no fire extinguisher!"
*"PHUCK IT"*
The giggling is just.. Yup, I'm right there with you guys.
JD’s reaction to the fireball was classic car guy, no screaming or crying and he got back to it. He’s got a good start in mechanics.
JD is the star of this one. His reaction to the fires is priceless, and he has quite the sense of humor. Well done young man!
"I hope he has brakes" is about when I started laughing so hard the tears came out
16:30 For a second I was actually scared for the kid; I hope he was acting and saw this kind of thing before
I like how you said fires
I like when he said 'Pretty sure that's a boat tank' LOL!
That kid is goin places …i tells ya!!
My son lost his mother and his dog 4 days ago unexpectedly. He turned 19 today. We just watched this together while having a cold snack. He asked that i say thank you and JD for making him laugh today during such a rough time. You have no idea how thankful some of us are for your content. Keep it up to you, JD, and Cody.
The very calm way the boy comments on the fuel spilll lighting the grass then shows the fire under the car. This guys going ot have an amazing sense of humor and timing.
Now you are a double JAG owner,I think I want a JAG.Those JAGS look pretty cool.👍👍😉
I think this might be the first car on the channel that could legitimately be called a dangerous hazard to anyone around it. I'm honestly amazed it took this long and the entertainment from it was well worth the wait. The fireball is part of the TRUE jag experience
of all the car shows on YT that have the kids participate, JD has got to be the best. He's got his Dad's sense of humor and it fits so well.
Just a reminder that a British Rolls Royce V12 Merlin powered the Spitfire during the Second World War. The plane that, even though massively outnumbered, won the Battle of Britain. If you really love engines and you hear a Merlin running, you will never forget it. And yeah, I'm more than a little bit biased, my Grandfather worked alongside those engineers although he migrated to help develop radar.
I also love American V8s. I have one in my Land Rover. Just a beautiful sound.
Keep up the great work. Love the channel.
I absolutely love watching you rip a v-12 jag that is barely holding on.
The dual quad intake sounds very interesting. Almost makes me want to look for one of these shitboxes just to try it. Also, I'm surprised how much better the Jag looks without the front bumper. JD has the best dad ever, seriously. I had nothing like this when I was growing up and cars weren't supposed to be fun.
Best video in a long time
Yep,the US mandated bumpers destroyed the looks of many european cars..US policies was always to blame..😁😁
Honestly I’d love to see you work on one of those V12’s to remove the fuel injection and install the twin 4 barrels and actually enjoy the JAAAAAG V12 experience.The only downfall of the XJS in my opinion is the 3 speed automatic held back those V12’s a lot. But when you remove that nightmare of fuel injection and let that engine breathe they sound fantastic and make decent power.
I do not think the rusted out Jag is worth fooling with anymore, I think you got 4 wheels and a very entertaining video out of it. You son is just amazing!
It would be cool to see the V12 in action. The intake idea is neat.
These jaaags look much better without big plastic bumpers. I've seen where you can take the chrome top of the bumper from two bumpers, put them together to make a single chrome bar.
I think jaaaag 1.0 with a repaint, euro headlights, and custom bumpers would look sweet.
Euro headlights on the way from a subscriber, great idea on the bumper, I'll try it
Is this the 3rd video in a week?? How did we get soo lucky?? Thank u Dalton, THANK U!!! Ur a wonderful man
I'm trying to pump em out!
@@PoleBarnGarage I see that!!! I love ur videos so keep it up!!
I'll second that! Here Here!
Massive fireball/mini flame-throw from the exhaust there!! Oh my gosh!! Love the informational tech and content of this second JAG.
20:48 That nervous side eye-open from Dalton as the ticking noise picked up was absolutely hilarious. Couldn't help but chortle. Seemed to get better though.
Thanks to you and Kevin I have a whole new mindset and thus more confidence to work on my own cars. You said once "it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work" and that really hit home with me lol. today I took the bed off* my S10 to change the fuel pump which is something I never thought I'd ever be doing by myself, and it works!
Gotta say...that V12 would look pretty sweet in an old rat rod!
My son is 37 this year. JD is so much like my son was at 12 and 13 it is almost nostalgic to watch your videos . Thanks for sharing this new clip.
Love this, you went so much further than I wouldve, JD is such a good sidekick and cameraman, hope me and my son are able to tinker with things and have fun someday as well.
This was so much fun to watch,jd has to one of the best young men on UA-cam by far such a level headed person and your relationship with your son is a joy to see keep up the great work all the best from Birmingham UK.
No, he's an idiot who has no idea what he's doing.
Awesome episode. That Jaguar is a keeper for sure when carburetor converted. Gambler 500 material right there.
I think the wheels are a good reason to purchase this car. When I saw the photos on IG I thought, "at least the wheels are nice"
Thanks for working on a V12!!! We never see enough of them out there, dude 😎 👍, a V12, so cool!!!
It's absolutely awesome that your boy participates in these videos with you. You and your wife are raising a fine young man.
The fire, funniest moment…glad no one was hurt but the look on your face as you drove off and the reaction your kiddo had to the gas fire - priceless!
Seeing you and JD working on stuff together inspired me to go down to my pops and grandpas garage and work on my wrangler tj in a couple weeks. Thanks for all the great content! Keep being you!
JD with the "i hope it has brakes" had me laughing
That's great!
@@PoleBarnGarage Let it be known on this day ....that Young JD was baptized by the Holy Fire of Horsepower...... Therefore he is now ....a man ...with all rights and privileges..... which means his Ford needs a roots supercharger....and 3......Hot pockets!!!!
Let the congregation say a amen!!!!
Why's it need brakes, when it's got a loose nut behind the wheel?
Thanks for a cool morning watching you guys👍🏻Good job JD!😊👍🏻
Awesome filming lil dude! Thanks for teaching your son about cars, it was by far some of the most memorable stuff that I did with my dad. :)
"Come on, baby!" seems to be the universal affirmation to yell when a car is at the cusp of being functional!
Right next to " you piece of shit!"
@@PoleBarnGarage Hahahahah yeah!
@@PoleBarnGarage EXACTLY, Laughing even harder
Worth it just for the belt buckle 👍
Got to do something with the V12 engine its to cool to end up in a scrapyard, maybe a coffee table or perhaps some lawn art 😅
I agree. Would be a great go kart
@@PoleBarnGarage yeah that could work old chap (have a british saying for your vocabulary 😁)
Haha this is why I love this channel so much! Awesome randomness! Yeah let’s see a turbo on 1.0 and keep 2.0 around for something fun…JD is always a star! Great work gentlemen
Great video as always. I'm pretty sure D is "delay" on the stalk (i.e. intermittent). Also if you put the manifolds on for 4 single barrel carbs (like all the factory pre-injection V12s) you can shut the bonnet with air cleaners on. You did well to get it going.
Refreshing to see someone raising their kid so well. That kid is already more of a man, and has better work ethic than most guys I work with who don't know how to change a tire or a brake pad. I love seeing you two fix up cars. Gives me motivation to get my ass out there and fix some shit. Thanks for the hard work for our entertainment.
I'm impressed it's running and driving on its own wow it caught Fire More then 10 times 😮 @Pole Barn Garage
Best episode yet!
Winning quote: "I thought you said no fire extinguisher?"
You guys are great, I enjoy watching your videos. I’m restoring my 69 camaro and I watch a lot of your videos to do a lot of work on my car, You and your son do great work and keep it up. I look forward every week to see your videos. Right now I’m in the process of block sanding my car and your truck video you put out last week was full of great info. Keep it up and screw all the haters out there, let them judge watch something else.
The fastest you will ever run is when you are running to get the fire extinguisher. Don’t ask me how I know. Love your work. JD was cool under pressure.
2 weeks ago I was sprayed by a tiny amount of fuel and it ignited. My face was only on fire for a few seconds before I smothered it. I still received 3rd and 2nd degree burns on my face. So many times I've been complacent 😂
I beg the lord and all that's holy you make that V12 a series of it's own it's such good content seeing you scratch your head in confusion and then solve these random jaaag V12 problems. Love your channel, love your humour as well. Thanks for all your quality content 👍 no fakeness just a guy turning wrenches making you laugh while he does it 😂
Everything you do is informative no matter what!! Love it all
Awesome stuff partner. The stories JD will have as he gets older. Priceless.
Absolutely, I'd love to see two four barrels on a jag v12. It's so ridiculous It's got to be cool.
I love how you interact with your son. Brings back memories being in the garage with my dad. I learned how to change points, plugs and change tires before he would let me drive. I found you through demolition resort and fell in love with you both on your trip with the van. I will be going back and watching past videos in the near future. - Holly (they spell theirs wrong)
16:28 Internal combustion conversion kit to external combustion engine. I'd definitely like to see the carburated V12! And a vinyl wrap of Jag 1.0.
Your LTD is magnificent! My first car was a '73 with the big block 400. Light custard yellow with a dark green interior. It was a good thing that my dad owned a gas station. It ran great until my brother borrowed it and decided to ignore the oil light. I also enjoyed your interactions with your son. My son is 16 and working on an '84 VW diesel rabbit.
I was truly hoping the ole v12 would’ve been able to be ran reliably. I actually always loved these cars growing up and really wanted the v12 version. I hope it doesn’t go away and is saved.
I had a friend with a FV432 APC from Great Britain that had a V12 jag engine in it. Sounded just like that Edit: it was a rolls royce straight 8 or some other multifuel actually according to him.
JD is an awesome cameraman! He got your reactions perfectly when you were trying to restart the Jaaagg!! 😅😅
Fantastic. Should be pretty cool to see you get the jag fixed and running. Keep up the great work
Ah you see being an Englishman i understand the inner workings and temperament of the jag, the fireball is a hidden reference to the ancestor of the British v12 the spitfire, it is simply part of the experience
Your a busy man.... We the "low buck army" are now two videos ahead of the common folk
You guys are benefiting from my video stockpile, trying to get at least 2 weeks ahead in time for the duct tape drags in September. That way nobody misses any content while I'm on the road! Starting to figure out this UA-camr thing
I enjoy watching your variety of projects. I too have "enjoyed" the ownership of the xjs-V12. I understand this one is too far gone to feasibly rebuild. But, if your looking to use the engine in another project and need help figuring it out, I recommend the channel "living with a classic." I've used the incite from his videos to get my old Jaaag purring. Keep up the good work.
Just letting you know I have added you guys to my must watch list.
Loving the content.
Thanks!
gotta get that carb swap goin, the engines are fun, you do get bigger displacement kits but thats a whole thing and expensive as hell. they do go up to 7 litres tho, then people twin supercharge them like the old race cars were, but a carb swap is probably all you need to have your fun
Watching you and your son work on these cars together is great. I can only hope one day I have the same opportunity
Honestly I always thought these jags were pretty cool, but take the two and make one cool one. Keep up the great work.
Really awesome to see you and JD working on the JAaggg! 🇺🇲💯✌
Kevin, at junkyard diggs introduced me to your channel. I am absolutely loving your channel. I have gone back to the beginning and started watching from episode one. You’re hilarious. Keep up the great work. I suspect your channel will blow up soon.
yup. me finding him was Kevin's fault too.
Same
You were cracking me up pumping the EFI, also the sound of that thing puking fireballs out of the intake was hilarious! Another great video dalton, JD is going to be a professional fire fighter if you keep working on JAGGG #2 lol
Definitely want to see a carb conversion on 2.0. Nice content mate, love that your lad is on the show quite a bit
Every kid should have a dad like this, hilarious dude
Greetings from Britain love the Jag content! These v12s are actually decent engines if set up right and they can sound amazing i think you should do something with it for motivation see Harry Metcalfs XJC on UA-cam
Wow Transmission was Rebuilt and Barley has any use on it and it was rebuilt in 2007 wow only 7k miles that is impressive very nice records from orginal owner Dalton @Pole Barn Garage
I came here from "The Van" video from Junkyard Digs.. The JAG v1 peaked my interest.. I'm glad I subscribed, and stuck around..
this episode was awesome, tons of laughs! love the tale of two Jags.
I'm pretty sure we'll find a good place for that v12 in the future.
Loving Pole Jag Garage. I'm in for more Jaaaag jokes and fires. Safely, of course.
Uhh "safe"
V12 JAAAG! Fun stuff, Dalton👍
"OH ITS ON BIG FIRE" Haven't laughed that hard in while, I was in tears.🤣😂
JD is an amazing young man very smart for his age.
I always look forward to the new videos. I hope you work on the JAGS more if you have plans for them
This is the beginnings of a Jaaaag Collection
Edit: The jag kart is perfect
I am blown away what you did was almost impossible to get a fuel injection car running when all the wires were disconnected !!! You done good!!!!
The "F#CK!!" as you were digging for the fire extinguisher made me laugh way harder than it should have. Probably because I've been there and know what was going through your head. 😂
I'd like to see the real jag, the one with the v8 swap, turbo charged. Hood scoop would be cool too!
The twin four barrel intake sounds interesting. Would love to see this engine running correctly and see the shenanigans you get up to with it. 😂
Awesome Vid - i loved the fire. Great job.
Glad you're at home working on this one with your son!
I've never seen an engine put off a fog like that.
Cool to see it running.
I have oldsmobile 307 roller cam V8 gm medium grey metallic and bright red pinstripe grey half roof vinyl top car not factory..., 1986 Buick Regal Factory V8 Sport Coupe Equipped with the Factory Rear Sway Bar and 2.73 Rear gearing in the Eaton Gm 10 bolt one wheeler peeler rear,anyways it stuck the thermostat and was driven 120 miles heading toward where I worked night shift when it happened and mid August was 93 degrees in 99 at 11:45pm blew the top radiator hoses and the bottom radiator one, and broke the inlet of the radiator loose when the top radiator hose blew, and the water pump stopped turning and fed the alternator belt to the fan,so the car even after it was shut off disappeared in the front all the way to the middle of the doors while I waited for it to cool down enough to get it out of the middle of the intersection of the two main highways..
Turns out that the water pump was leaking and the the right side head gasket and intake manifold gasket failed then it stuck the thermostat and cracked the head on the Dr side what a waste of a great strong running roller cam Oldsmobile 307 V8 had 139,781 miles
It's a shame really. The XJS never stood a chance being the replacement for the e type. The early 1970s models were rubbish but they did get better over time. I'm only 30 seconds into the video but thought I'd comment anyway. Great channel. Keep up the brilliant work.
Awesome video. Great work teaching your son a great hobby you can enjoy together. Also that LTD is really nice. The corvette as well. I need to sell my xjs and get something new myself to work on.
Seeing a big fire and grabbing the extinguisher, I am glad that also happens to even the UA-cam professionals and not just us common folk. My 68 F250 did the same thing and I had to bathe the 360 in chem.
Holy crap at all the smoke under the hood 😳 😂 @Pole Barn Garage
I thought the paint look better on the parts Jag at least the paint did curious why you didn’t put that on your other one that hood looks orange
You did well to get it running. Can't beat a ropey old Jag
Id love to see more Jaaaag content, its neat seeing you do some out of your comfort zone cars, plus fucking around with a V12 sounds fun
I'm not saying it'll be restored but seeing as how you basically rebuilt an entire chevy cab I think you can build the shit out of that rusted out jag
The old LTD deserve duals and four barrel!! Its so good!!
That thing is perfect as is. I have like $700 invested in that beauty and it never fails!
Gotcha! Love your channel God knows we need to laugh in our lives. Plus I also learn a few things too!!
Think it'd be awesome to see the duel carb setup
Loving the Jaggggg content! Keep it up!
