Coming along nicely, keep up the good work. Glad you're digging the product we sent ya!
You guys rock! Thanks again!!
You guys make great tools and very local too i only live like 20 minutes away from your store
@@JunkyardDigs so back to the welder my name seriously is Clifford😆
I gotta say, I’m impressed with that plasma cutter... It would work wonders for cutting down garage door openers. Does it work well on thin metal too?
I'll vouch for Eastwoods customer service. Prompt, no hassles, and 100% exceeded expectations.
The hole punched through the seat for the rollbar is probably my favorite part of this whole thing.
how else are they going to keep the seat in place when the floor fall out?
RIGHT?! I LOL'd When I realised that...
Those seats fold down and can even come out pretty easily.
This is exactly why engineers need to work in the field for a couple years! There is a big difference between paper world, and real world!! Love your videos. Love your attitude! Thank you!
Check out SuperfastMatt's channel for what an automotive engineer does on his own time. Like drop a Tesla drivetrain into a Jag Mk. V or a motorcycle engine into a Honda S600. THe guy's hilarious, and his solutions can get quite crazy.
When your welder cost 3 times as much as the rig you're working on
That just shows what good value the bronco is ;)
Back when Ford was worth half-a-damn. Now, like GM, their only reliable products are imports.
I love how they try and keep the camera focused on the Bronco because there’s like 5 other vehicles in the shop being neglected that they don’t want us to see
Hey shshshshhhh
@@JunkyardDigs hi I loved the video you guys made I watched that because math sucks but I decided to suck it up and actually learn something with my life hahaha lol I love you guys I watch all your vids by the way
Well the vehicles are not sitting in the rain and on the grass, that's pretty good. Might have some possums nesting tho.
Are the vehicles sitting in your driveway being neglected?
@@livewithnick Yes and no, there is a vehicle that I neglect but it’s neglected because I have no time and what I want has changed a lot since I got that car.
i work at o reillys and it makes me really happy that you use them primarily. it really builds that feeling like i’m a part of something whenever i don’t feel like working for whatever reason. thanks man!
I knew the roll cage through the seats was coming, and yet I laughed out loud when it happened. Much love from Australia, and thank you for keeping me sane while I study. Hope your studies are going well too!
“What are you doing?”
“Oh I’m watching a guy do geometry on the back of a scrap car on the internet, how about you”
Glad to see you are messin with the bronco, honestly, Broncos are pretty awesome, Lookin forward to seeing what you do with this!
Hey when I die from some crazy disease I get from one of these things, do you want to do a video on it? 😂😂🤘
Love your vids man
Fancy seeing you here, I thought you’re more into the mechanics of the biological persuasion. I guess they go hand-in-hand. Also love your videos.
@@hummerskickass if you pay really close attention once in a while you'll see a picture of him sitting in an old car in his videos 😎
Dude, loved the video on Dog Soldiers. One of my favorite movies for the creature feature next to tremors
The video of the challenge is already out there.i seen it thw other day. Waiting for this video since then to see what they did to get the bronco ready.

Those are worth a few bucks on eBay. Been looking for straight ones for my truck 😞
We aren't savages for Pete's sake.
@@tsp159 I like those! I don’t understand why everyone always takes them off, I liken it to this stupid fad of “de-badging” everything 🤷♂️
Neaderthals were more intelligent than us. We just breed faster.
"If you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough!" New tshirt I would buy for sure. Get on it guys funniest thing yet!
When you joint a roll cage in the middle like that its best to over sleeve it with another larger pipe about 18" long. Just for future reference.
Actually you use a “slug” that goes inside the tube, drill a few holes to plug weld and leave a small gap to weld up.
@@AcesUpOffroad plug weld? why not just drill through holes in both pieces and bolt it then weld the bolts on?
If one were to name that truck, I believe "Tetanus" would be appropriate.
right!?
Tetanus Wrecks.
Shitbox would be my suggestion.
Name it homework, it looks like it has a homework assignment all over it.

I didn't know you were a in the military dude! I would like to thank you for your service. You are what makes our country great!
I'll never forget learning to bend conduit... gotta love when there's four bends in a ten foot pipe!
Going outside your comfort zone doing fabrication is awesome to watch. This channel improves with every video.
Found your channel by accident and these long videos give me a great break from studying
I hope you're not studying trigonometry 😅

Junkyard Digs: Friendship ( and reviving old cars) Is Magic.
Mook: you don't have any.
Because I admit that I am a "Giant Math Nerd," this is my absolute favorite video that you have produced, Kevin!
Good to see some math I actually recognize. I’m an Industrial Engineering major in my junior year. We use that math quite often. I found the Pythagorean theorm can be a bit slower than using arcsin or arccos so I normally use those. Appreciated you bringing out the good ol’ Texas Instruments. I got one like that.
My graphics calculator at school in the 1990s was a casio instead. I gave that to a friend's daughter a few years back because they couldn't afford to buy her one for school and I just use my phone as a calculator these days.
@@misterthegeoff9767 the phones have great features nowadays. In one of my classes I used Desmos, a graphing calculator app. I enjoy having my graphing calculator now though. A lot easier with class.
GO HELP HIM!!
I got spoiled on the HP calculators and RPN, reverse Polish notation, back in 1972 when my dad, also an engineer, brought a HP 35 home from the office very soon after they were introduced. I haven’t been able to perform more than simple calculations on the algebraic notation variety since. I still have an HP 65 and another HP.
@@datasailor8132 My Dad was a field service engineer for Burroughs machines so he taught me how to use an adding machine instead. Something that was actually of use because when I got a job with a bank they were still using them in 2001.
I guessing the memory of rolling your last Bronco stuck with you while building the roll bar haha
That’s why I left the peoples Republic of New York the western sector back almost 11 years ago. Texas doesn’t snow much once every five or six years, but it’s funny to watch these guys , who have never driven in the snow ,drive in the snow down here.
most people that do cages will make a 1 foot section of the tube with different angles and they will use this for their measurements
Hello jyd. Happy Veterans Day, thank you for your service.
Trig grade: 100
Spatial Relationships grade: 0 first try, then back to The notcher, 100 second try, still a failing grade average of 50.
It’s great that companies donate their tools to you. What you need now is for someone like Morton Buildings to donate a new and bigger shop!
As I'm scrolling through UA-cam I think to myself wow this might be the first day I actually don't watch a junkyard digs video after weeks of binging this beautiful content then and only then I came across this beauty of a truck so yeah here we are.
So what did you end up doing with this beast once you were finished with the event? Scrap? Love your work, man, I really do. Your videos make me so happy. The whole "JYD Cinematic Universe" is so enjoyable. You, Derek, Thunderhead, Dylan...all y'all.

What did he do with this beast? Gave his Mom a ride in it! I lived, but barely. Ha!
>$1000 truck challenge

it's not like the tools could be easely resold at same price and or reused ... It's an investment for the future, espacially if you take quality stuff that'll last 10 + years if maintened
@@tinatpasselepoivre TRUE DAT.. i still have my 8o amp craftsman MIG from 1995..i since modified it with bigger diodes and now cranks out 150 amps
lmao
@@clashingwithvance965 I mean for exemple When I redid my hydro lines on my Citroen I bought a second hand tube formerflairer (?) ... Resold it in like 2-3 weeks at 90% value of buy. Not bad.
Neat profile picture
Glad to see Eastwood helping you out even if the stuff showed up a little late. I’ve used a few different tools and products and haven’t been disappointed with the quality/price combo. Plus they have a ton of videos to help you use whatever they sell.
Loved it. You did an incredible amount of work in a short time. I was a mig welder and welding quality control guy for the old Clark Equipment company. You should wear protective stuff when you weld. I saw new welders set themselves (including me) on fire by not protecting themselves. Also the flash from the mig welder is not good for exposed skin. I hope you win.
You can get an awesome sun tan in the middle of winter by welding in short sleeves..helmets are cool but a good pair of goggles will have you looking like a racoon. Don't ask me how I know these tidbits
His face when he cut the notch the wrong way 😂
Priceless!!
Could've been worse like putting the bend on the wrong side
Glad to see more of this build! Keep up the good work
Just stumbled on this video and I have the older non digital version of that welder and you made a very good purchase. I have used and abused mine laying down hard facing wire for hours on end ignoring any duty cycle and it still runs like the day I got it. I also have the newer version I bought that is digital and have barely used it since the old one just keeps on plugging away. Love what you guys go keep up the good work!!!
Good on Eastwood for supporting you.👍
You don't have to worry about "body roll" when there is no body. ;)
This is why skilled trades have apprenticeships 🤣
That panoramic helmet is so cool @Junkyard Digs
That first notch got me. That look of defeat! I have definitely been there.
Dude , if it wasn’t for you and ThunderHead289 I wouldn’t have had the courage to rescue my left for dead Bullnose f250 ! Ps you guys also made me want to vlogg my build 🔥🤘🏻✊🏻 thank you for all the free tech information and entertainment!!! Been a big fan for YEARS ! It would mean so much if you checked out my channel !
Now this Bronco is perfect for the Gambler 500! Imagine this right next to the Lemans!
It would rust in half halfway through the event lol, up only really usefull for parts.
This is the Roadkilliest episode of any show that isn't Roadkill. Bravo!
Can't wait to see it wheeling! Plasma cutters are absolutely essential for working with steel. Love the learning curve and showing the learning process. Not everybody is born knowing everything! Cheers !
*Sets beer down* we gon' do some MATH
Best show on UA-cam
Hey bud love your videos! I’m a welder fabricator here in Canada. My best advice for bending is always measure from the inside of the bend side it is the side that bends the least and most the time not even a noticeable amount.
Mad max would be proud
Different tire radius will have an effect on speedometer accuracy. It is a relay. A solenoid does both, mechanical work and complete a circuit.
I love how the bars go down and through the back seat 😂😂😂
Who's already watched the video of him off roading it? I haveee
Wait what
@@Vr6.christos someone else has already posted the video of them offroading lemme find the link again and I'll drop it :)
@@Vr6.christos ua-cam.com/video/PpMHJOFs30c/v-deo.html
I thought I was suffering from some weird COVID time warp....
That explains why the Bronco didnt fall apart on the trail 😁
Really enjoy watching junkyard digs
Thankfully you put this video out today. I just got home from my wisdom teeth being removed. I am glad I can see some good cobtebt
That “hmm” when you showed you messed up the first notch on the roll bar has had me crying laughing for the last five minutes. 😂
I can smell the welding even if Im not even there XD
Just knew you would get it together Kevin. Have fun with the Bronco
I watched the event last night. I was very impressed on how the old Bronco did. The place you guys went was awesome. Great job on the budget build. Keep up the great work. Cant wait till the release of the offroad event from your channel.
Man says “what I would do for a plasma cutter”
30 minutes later... box on doorstep😂😂
Yeah it wasn't planned 😂🙈
I love that generation Ford trucks and Broncos. I'd love to have that red Datsun.
Those old 280Z's were some fast little cars back in the day. I had one with an inline 6 and a 4-speed and it would just scream, and it was a real hoot on curvy roads.
Rilly liked all the information that was in this video and didn't mind the length of the video because learning about how things work is worth the time
I remember cutting all kinds of random things when I got my first plasma, they are a world changer
It’s simple math, ladies and gentlemen.
*gets the Pythagorean Theorem wrong*
He didn’t get it wrong. He just didn’t square root the left side, but his right side to solve for a was correct
"Really wish i had a plasma cutter" *plasma cutter shows up the next day*

I used to work in a pipe fab shop and I got really good at it. Learning the math was a booger but I did it. You did a good job. Love watching your videos I'm glad you are a good teacher and you attempt to teach as well as showing the principles involved in building a safe roll cage.
I love that blue and white Galaxy 500 that's sitting out in front of the shop those have always been one of my many dream cars especially early 60's ! ❤❤🤤
Note to Mook!!!! Buy as much life insurance for Kevin as you can, I feel he may die with this stunt.
Hey Kevin. My friends and I were exploring an abandoned property and we found a 1969 Mercury cougar!!!!! It's hair sitting under some trees.

Where is it if you dont mind me asking?
The “O. J. Crumple-son” Bronco!
Love it!
Thanks and God Bless!
😎
Great series. Start to finish. Unlimited ingenuity. Awesome improvisation. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the math. I see you as an engineer now. Keep on truck in'.
Me: I wouldn't dare do those rims without a plasma cutter.
"Man, what I would do for a phan plasma cutter..." lol.
I had a 79 bronco, bought it brand new, we had so much fun in that thing. Took the back top off it every summer. Wish I still had it...
Awesome video guys. Totally enjoyed watching this series. From stuck in a field to given a last shout of glory. Can't wait for the final! :)
Just remember a grinder and paint will make the welder you ain’t
I'm here from the future , be sure to bring a spare tire,wheel and jack :)
Bead locks
Love the Bronco!! Glad to see you bringing it back to life for one last blast. I look forward to seeing how it does.
I really hope you don't need that roll bar!! Never put a joint/seam in the main hoop. And if you have to, then you should sleeve it and plug weld the sleeve to both halves before welding the seam to add some more strength. And with as rusty as that body is I would have added some plates from the body to the roll bar just to help hold it all together. A roll bar welded to the frame doesn't do much if the body and seats break away from the frame.
Nice a mini spool in the 3rd member nice work Kevin @Junkyard Digs
Plasma cutter shows up 30 minutes after you finish cutting the rims: Welcome to the suck!!
Halfway throught he vid, and I'm wondering if there's even a frame for you to weld the cage to o_O
Can't wait to see ya raise some hell with this thing on the trails.
I love that it’s got a whole ecosystem growing on its hood ;)
You must be watching to much Vice Grip Garage, you are starting to pick up his mannerisms.
“The death Wheel”
My son and I have both bought stuff from Eastwood, and I agree... they are the best! What a crazy, fun build! Looking forward to seeing the next video... Good luck!
Great video, loving the content. Nice to see the process of learning fab as you go instead of editing out the fails.
Love the vids brother
Your “weakest strength”? I’ve never heard it quite worded like that.
I’ve done trig, but never with beer, sounds like a good plan
this video reminds me why i quit math in high school and never looked back. thank you sir, for reaffirming my life choices
Hey just curious. When are you going to work on the LeMan again. I've watched your videos and always see it sitting off in the corner being used as a table. I wanna see you work more on the LeMan attempt 1
omg same
I'm also working on getting my hands on a 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass S
@@johnnyralph1607 very nice i got my first truck last couple months and did a lot of searching for a truck that really stuck out and it was a 1989 dodge D-100 with 31s and it has the 4x4 package
tmk the gambler 500 has been postponed till late next year due to some virus
@@alt7488 thank you for the update. I was wondering if it was still going to happen
I was waiting for this vid
Even though it was neglected and rusted Broncos are pretty Awesome. You just brought out its awesomeness as a four wheeling machine. Great Job!
What an 1 hour of junkyard digs love longer videos of this type
''I just chugged a monster''

First wahoo!!
That helmet is cool! Keep making videos! Just watched this again cause I'm drinking and forgot I saw it when yiu posted it. Say hi to the Mookster!
"the required time of thinking about stuff should be up, and it should come to me as we go" That's pretty much how I live my life hahaha! Loving your channel

You always want the lead edge of a cut off wheel on the right side, looking from the cord above. And always cutting downward. Super dangerous the way you were using it, just don't you to get hurt! Love the videos❤
That Eastwood stuff works like a hot damn! Used their Platinum and Gloss black frame rust protection, and it sticks! Glad to see the Plasma cutter so good!
