3 videos in a little over a week? Well I'll be dipped! Merry Christmas VGG family! Thanks for all the awesome content this year!
Couldn't say it better! Well I could but why? Its pretty good the way she is if I'm being honest.
I can’t believe it but I guess I have to I’m looking right at it
It's slicker than goose poop on a pump handle, and I ain't kiddin' ya.
It's good enough for the girls we date.
Well crying in the mud
You have poured the videos on us
Thank you i really enjoy drinking coffee and laughing at your antics and learn a few things too
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you and family
Just recently lost my father.we enjoyed watching your channel togheter.just wanted to say thank you for all the good memories.
Sorry for your loss. 😥
My condolences
@@Mldavis1214 Sorry for your loss.
My condolences, Brother.
He's with you watching in spirit, may you have a good Christmas with the rest of the family during these trying times.
I’m so happy for you and your family.
We live in central Kentucky and cost of living is even higher here than in Tennessee.
So many of us viewers live vicariously through you. I spent my childhood watching and helping my dad like you get to with your boys.
We lost dad two months ago in the middle of a 71 Camaro restoration. Probably his 14th restoration.
It’s been comforting stumbling upon this channel and getting to relive my old memories on a screen infront of me.
You have no idea how much you and your humor mean to me. Thank you and God bless you.
You give this ol' one-armed mechanic and race car driver a hell of a lot of laughs. Thanks so much for sharing you and your lovely family with all of us.
What a nice rig
@@brianproper1577 LOL
Good stuff. I wonder if any of the boys are as quick witted and humorous as Derek. A funny father with funny kids/wife is a wonderful home to be in.
I think Jessica is fast witted. The boys are old-fashioned respectful around their folks. No bad language or bad attitude between them, all practical boys entrusted to their own dirt bikes. Lucky lads, IMO. Derek is the luckiest, with Jessica! Mind you, he works really hard.
@@GT380man the boys do carry themselves with a lot of respect.. More than 90% of kids these days.. Which is awesome and Jessica and a guy have done/will keep doing what parenting should be. But don't be fooled by the guys only talk if talked to way about them... Have to remember who the parents are hear.. And Derek slips a few sailor words even in videos sometimes.. It's rare and not saying the boys cuss.. But they have wits about them for sure.. I'm sure off camera they are 98% the same but I promise you those boys smart off when it's the time and place for it. It may even be dead pan or so slight and sneaky a normal none smart ass person would miss..
And REMEMBER fellas and fellets it's ALWAYS better to be called a smart ass than a dumb ass. And always reply with that when called a smart ass.... Not much a person can come back with on that note
@@GT380man Even as much as she holds her own, Derek frequently has her in stitches, which is a great thing in any relationship! 😊
I love how many videos we got this week merry Christmas Derek and family
People are wondering why he would put the powder coated wheels on there, but I am wondering why he wouldn't rebuild those lug nuts. Lol! Loving that plasma table. It is amazing how much it changes your capabilities. I guess I should go put a clutch in my car now. Not looking forward to it. She's been in since new and lasted 147,000 miles. So I guess I can't really complain too much. Going to go ahead and do the axle shafts, seals, and rear main seal that has been leaking like a sieve for about 50,000 miles.
You are SO lucky to have a couple boys that not only like being in the shop with you, but actually HELP!!! God bless you. I have 3 boys and neither one could give a good got damn about my shop, my tools or my vehicles... I thought things might a changed once they started driving... nope.... I can tell you cherish the time you spend with them, and that is great! #blessed
I don't know how a guy could get rid of such a icon ramp truck it is truly one of a kind kinda special.
Merry Christmas y'all
He has a nicer 1 he built 💪🇺🇲💯
It'll live on
I,d rebuild that truck in a hart beat.🤣🤣(pun)😂..Done much worse then that truck...Merry Xmas🎄
@@OlRider6485 I would love to have an old ramp truck, but waiting to buy a cheap newer one when Carvana White goes out of business!!
@@ripvanrevs 😎👏👏👍👍👍
You gave Bailey more "atta boys" and pats on the head in this video than I received during most of my childhood while handing tools and holding lights for my old man. You are a good dad Derek. Happy Holidays.
Thanks for the entertainment Derek. I'm disabled after getting crushed under my car while working on it. Being able to watch a guy turn them metric and standard Vice Grips on the many different fine machines a feller comes across is a close second to actually busting up the knuckles on my own butt scratchers. So thanks for keeping that content coming, it's more than just entertainment for some of us!!! And, well if you ever need something when close to Meadville PA, proud home of Channel Lock Inc (I know it's not Vice Grip, but close!) drop a fella a line.
Nice to see Bailey working in the shop with his Dad
Pretty dang cool seeing Bailey get in on some shop action!!!!!!
Here I am with tons of stuff to do for Christmas and I'm sitting here watchin a guy changin on a battray!
But,....That may have been the funniest battery change I've ever seen!
Thank you Derek, Merry Christmas to you and the family and thanks for keeping us entertained and educated in your own unique way. God bless
That was a funny way to install a batt
Derek carefully places the Battery in the ramp truck, according to the directions of the manufacturer. Yeah, nope. H T T S S S T D A
I pretty much laughed most of the way through. And that don't happen often. After a lifetime of working on sketchy cars, this show says so much.
Derek, I nearly peed myself and fell off my work at home office chair when you talked about using the Michael Jackson dance on the accelerator to get it primed up to start. That was absolutely great.
Just watching "I Drove 1,000 Miles to Surprise My Wife With Her old Truck!" and I get a notification for this!. So much VGG in a 24 hr span. Awesome Christmas present for all us viewers Derek!
It’s great that you are having your boys help you . One day they will be glad they did.
Totally agree with this, but have you noticed that none of the boys ever crack a smile at Dad’s humor? It’s almost as if they don’t really think he’s funny.😂
@@raymattox5115 your right
@@raymattox5115 theyre just used to it
@@raymattox5115 My wife and kids are the same with me but I crack myself up, so I'm just gonna keep on with my questionable sense of humor.
Helping dad get old wrecks running is how I learned all the curse words.
Might be a Little overkill but a golf cart with a “jump pack” setup might be up your alley! I go to a lot of auctions I generally see a cart with 6/8 or more battery’s in the back on the cargo platform to jump big equipment and such. Probably wouldn’t be bad to have some quick fun transportation around your new property as well🤷
Derek, you’re the best thing on UA-cam. I can tell… because of the way you are.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Thanks for making me genuinely laugh so much and learn so much. You and your family are so great. Thanks for sharing.
I worry some times that you work too hard and put too much pressure on yourself to meet so many deadlines. Can a fella just make sure to take care of himself first? We’ll still love you just as much if we get a few less videos each week.
God bless you and your beautiful family and Merry Christmas!
The boys in the shop working together is a great day no matter the occasion. A rattle can rebuild is an appropriate choice for the ramp truck. Your creating generational wealth passing on the skills to the next generation of the ViceGrip legacy brand. I wish you and the family a Merry Christmas
@@grantkoeller8911 Thanks
love the the generational wealth line.
If you put the batrays in parallel you will double the AMPERAGE. (good). If you put batrays in series, you'll get 28 volts (bad) and blow stuff out.
24volts
2 overcharged batrays might give you 28 volts if in series...
Only bid you run 14v batteries!🤣
@@imgonnagogetthepapersgetth8347 most batteries are at 13.5-14 volts while driving though soo
@@M.TTT. correct.
A few or more fellers had a heart attack when you hit that Ranger with a bat tree.
Love the advice on closing the hood. The technique is great, but man, a little grease goes a long way with those hinges.
It’s nice to see you selling something. Im looking forward to seeing more of these fix it up and sell videos
Hey Derek, another year of continued solid content 👌 i know how much effort you put into the UA-cams and pretty sure i speak for all of us when i say thank you for your dedication and commitment to the channel 👏
@George wow this the highlight of your day? Trolling? Sort yourself out sMH...
@george9417 Again big boy, YOU do it. Show us all just how easy it is.
I love the fact that you include your boys and your wife in your revivals reminds me of the long ago days when my boys hung out in the garage with me all the time they were growing up they learned a lot I learned a lot but most of all we got to spend quality time together and along the way they ended up learning a lot about cars and trucks things that will help them through life keep up the great work the great videos God bless and Merry Christmas hope you have a blessed holiday
That's a genuine factory double jointed hood. A laser cleaning tool would be super useful on those rebuilds.
You are great n must see TV! So dang funny I have never laughed so hard! When my Depression n PTS kicks in I try watchin ya to get myself back on track.....most times you are the RIGHT Rx for me~~Thank you for this past year! Merry Christmas and a very joyous and the happiest of new year, to all!
Derek, you're spoiling us this week. Merry Christmas to the Bieri family!
2:25 hood immediately detaches 😂
2:46 I Wish I had as much confidence in people as he does putting his hand underneath the hood barely being held up.. 😢😂😂 HOLY SMOKE HOUSE WHAT IS GOING ON? 😂
6:52 Junior Is Standing There holding the hood like.. 🙄
11:36 14:16 Flying Batteries! 💸 🪫😂
i absolutely love the vocabulary you use, found you today with the truck you re-bought your wife for Christmas, thank you so much for the laughs. i will be watching as much of your old videos and new ones as i can.
You were funny in this one😅🤣 " I'm gonna take 3 lugnuts off and snap the rest off." The battery struggle was classic!
Can't wait to see that DMC 12 in the background worked on 😉👍
What an awesome machine that is !! To be sure that will help you down the road a bunch. Thanks as always for taking care of us, and giving us something to watch over the Holidays. You make our Fridays so special when you come out with your new videos. Love the way you teach your boys, too. They will have a lot to absorb in the upcoming years. You and your family have a Great Holiday, and try to fit some down-time in along the way !! Thank you, Derek, for all that you do.
A Very Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays, to the VGG Family!
I hit the thumbs up as soon as I get the notification of a new upload. Thanks for the great entertaining and (educational) content Derek.
Merry Christmas Fellers and Fellets!! Thank you VGG for all the amazing content!
Love your videos. Merry Christmas to you and family VGG.
Every time I watch a VGG video I see so many cars in the background that I want to see videos on. Today I wanna see that Mercedes!
When he tossed the batt-riee into the engine compartment.... I'm laughing hysterically over that! Love it! Merry Christmas Derek and family
I had to hit pause because I choked on my coffee. God that was funny... not to mention all that messing around with the hood!!
You and yours have a daggum good Xmas also Mr. Derick. Sure do enjoy your videos and all the effort you put into making them
I could watch Derek make waffles and scramble eggs on a channel and it would be entertaining. I like the actual repairs on vehicles and learning a thing or 2.72. Makes me wish I had an old truck again to wrench on. Merry Christmas and thanks for all you do to entertain us. Don’t change for anyone!
YEAH bet he could make a go of it , mabe youtube another channel after a few gray hairs and understandable injuries might even be practical we need a cajun replacement I guarantee told ya
Agree.. derek doing any videos would be great… cooking vids would probably be awesome..
I'm always in the same situation with 10 cars and 18 dead batteries. I may put in a sunshine catcher with a float charger and battery rack to keep all my non-used batteries topped off. With batteries $200 a piece now, it would probably pay for itself in a month since solar panels, float chargers and alligator clips are incredibly cheap.
Holy smokehouse!! What a Christmas. Keeps on getting better. Yet another vid-euh! I'm a happy camper, thanks for a great year and have a great Christmas Derek and the VGG family.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone is well out there! Please take care everyone as I crack a wobble pop and enjoy this video. Merry Christmas Derek you and your family 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺
Can always use another ramp farm truck around kids need toys to play with I remember 10 year me doing wheelies on an old farmall tractor good thing trailer hitch run aground or might not seen another daybreak ; keep them coming love the videos miss hanging around garage on a farm always testing ones abilities , love family involvement
Derek, looks like a guy may be able to cut out a couple of donor supports off the old scrap hood before it lays to rest on the scrap heap. Opps should have waited till @38:22 for the super work!
I really enjoy these longer videos. Anything less than 40 mins is not as fun, but still fun. You know what I mean. Merry Christmas!!!
As luck will have it...I discovered your channel by accident...LOVE your channel ...Have a very Merry Christmas with friends and family...FELIZ NAVIDAD amigo...
Merry Christmas guys an gal. You got a new toy I see makes perfect brackets I turned my brother on to VGG an he’s loving it.
I love seeing your little dudes working with you great job
I would hate to be a battery in Derek's shop! :)
Every battery in Dereks shop is dead, his good batteries are bad, his new batteries are junk. I’ve never seen any thing like it.
I always keep the ones I replace as long as they aren't completely bad just in case so I'm in the same boat when I throw one in something lol
I wonder why yt channels will but a new motor or trans before a new battery?
I'd hate to be an electro-digical fuel pump too. I have a feeling the battery "dance" was the culprit for the lost ground. Priceless if true!
Well we just had to rescue a dodge journey with a ripped serpentine belt and a dead battery...
But luckily the old Allis Chalmers is split in half so we just take some booster cables and steel a battery...
Derek, the way you handle that impact gun, you'll be the #1 tire changer at NASCAR any day now. 🤣 Merry Christmas everyone.
It makes me so happy to see how quickly a feller took to the old 'Make A Tool 9000'. I think it's exactly what a feller livin in the sticks needs. Saves a lot of time goin to town for a tiny little piece.
Great dad praising and complimenting his son how well he’s doing …. That’s priceless
3 VGG videos in the same week? It's like Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and the fam Derek, thanks again for all the awesome content !!!
I want to do something really similar to your revival series with a very special truck to me. My great grandfather that lives in Texas has a 1978 gmc Sierra heavy half flavor, 2wd longbed straight 6 with 3 on the tree. It's been parked up since 2012 and only has 96k miles on it. It was purchased brand new in 1978 by my great great grandfather here in Ohio. It now lives in Texas, and I plan to drive down, fix it, and drive it 1300 miles home. That truck has been in the Sargent family since day 1, and I'd love to go down and save it. It will be my 2nd square revival. Initially, I planned to trailer it, but thanks to your videos, I've added it to my bucket list that I'd prefer to drive it home! The only thing stopping me is that I'm saving up the financials so I can throw some new parts at it. Keep doing what you're doing, I truly enjoy your content.
hey Derek, when you first bought this ramp truck to get the AMC Rebel home I commented about buying it from you. I'm in eastern KY and my 11 year old son and I watched you before he passed away in June of 21. We really enjoyed you, your family and your channel and he would laugh out loud each time you came up with the VGG vocabulary, ie "fuel make it happener"...I am interested in the ramp truck and wondered what you would have to have out of it, if its still available...let me know Thanks, Gregg
Really enjoy your channel. I really learn a lot from you!
A feller freeking laughed his rear end off. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Derick.. VGG is my favorite youtube entertainment! Lol
When you asked Bailey if he wanted to line up the metal! The way he said where’s the remote you knew he was back in his world! And that’s anything electronic! Great job Baily!!
Would have been better making those savers a bit wider so they could have a bend in the outer side to make them even stiffer "L" bracket!
Thank you for all the new episodes to watch over the holidays and merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank you for what you do Derek long time subscriber Merry Christmas to you and your family Happy holidays appreciate the content Love it all the time stay safe and God bless you
@george9417 He teaches and learns on folks. He deserves the moolah he gets.
@George yep as he should he creates great content helps people learn things very entertaining man more entertaining than most of the movies that come out nowadays The guys a great guy watched him since his first video came out before he was even making a business he was working a job like anybody else and was doing this on the side and became very successful at it so congrats to him He's very entertaining dude very knowledgeable and if he can throw a lot of extra coin in his own pocket and get a head in life by doing it well that's what this country is all about
@george9417 well I'd say he does something that makes you watch him.
Just as magic watched in summer on the cote d’Azure in southern France, on the Mediterranean coast!
Raised a glass to you, Derek and family.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, thanks for the entertainment
3 videos this week!!?? Must be Christmas or something? Thank you for the content. Love it all regardless if you are doing events, saving old rides, or trying to get that old tractor up and running. You do you. I'll sit back, watch, and have a cold snack or two.
You have a great idea with that metal cutter and the hinge savers!!
Those been on the market for years but made in a c channel shape for strength.
Thank for all the videos. Have a great new year and I can't wait for the next one
Thankyou for your vids. They are a welcomed distraction. I lost my father yesterday to long battle with parkensence. Thanks for making me smile
Thanks for the year of content, Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Amazing video as always!! Was nice to see Bailey finally helping Dad in the shop! Hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Thanks for 2 video's in a week! Now go enjoy your family time! :)
Hello! This is one of your three fillets that watch your shenanigans with vehiculars. My husband and I are serious fans I mean we watch you during dinner. That's prime time. I have learned so much from you and just want to thank you for going through cars and showing how to fix them. I learn more from you than anyone else and you make us laugh! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your beautiful family! I really want the ramp truck!!
Love Love Love this channel!!! I’m actually a little worried I’m gonna run outta videos Derek!! Keep up the great work!! Would love to see a square body CUCV sometime…
Merry Christmas Derek and family!!
Seen guys take square tubing and weld or bolt on those hoods to support that crush joint! Those hoods were engineered and designed to bend like they do in an accident! So the hood would fold in a front collision! The hoods on the previous body styles would sometimes go through the windshield in front collisions! The 67 through 72 gm truck hoods were alot more stiff and took alot of force to fold up! The 60 through 66 gm truck hoods were even more stronger! But everyone has trouble with the 73 through 80 hoods! Gm changed the design in 81 and made a big improvement! Never seen the 81 through 91 hoods fold like the older style!
Back to back videos advertising his own branded hood braces. What a coincidence
@@mattg7952 why wouldn’t you advertise your own products?
I remember when you brought this truck I couldn't believe it hauled up the AMC let alone move afterwards! Impressed is what I'm sayin
I’m still running the Hobofreight jackstands also, that was pretty funny.
Merry Christmas + happy new year to you an the fam, and the VGG community
Derek thanks for all the videos this year know it's hard work and everything you have going on but great videos merry Christmas to you and family looking forward to next year maybe the little guys can help more great to seeing them in the videos along with the wife keep up the great work☃️
@George You try filming, and editing all of the videos that Derick and Jessica out plus all of the work on the vehicles including their travel time. Then say it's not hard work. Have a great Christmas
@george9417 Harder than trolling the comment section of every VGG video. How about you grab a camera and show us all just how easy it is?
All you talk about is money, who tf cares how much Derek makes. Maybe spend less time being an asshat keyboard warrior and more time touching some grass, you too could make a lil money.
My dad gave me two Vice Grip Garage shirts and a Buick shirt tonight for Christmas! He knows exactly what a guy likes. Merry Christmas to the whole VGG channel and subscribers.
Love seeing you and Bailey working together. Soon I think my daughter and I will be working on our project. The 1976 F-100 302 Automatic. I truly can't wait! Thanks Derek for all you and the family do. I believe I can speak for most of us, your inspiration is, well, greatly appreciated!
I hope the actual name of that part is going to be the Hood Saver 6000
Merry Christmas to you and your family hoping everybody gets what they want or need.
Very glad the Ramp Truck made one more appearance before making someone else happy (sad?)! Thanks for the Christmas gift! Maybe next year the Cenex Grain truck!
The father son bond is amazing. I didn't learn alot about mechanic work from my father I can say he taught me how to hunt. Appreciate you're work new subscriber.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE. Thanks VGG!
Sheesh forgot the wifi was out and burned up the last of my data watching this. Oh well it was worth it. Merry Christmas everybody!
Hood looks good Derek wheels look nice on this old ramp truck she good to go now @Vice Grip Garage
Dude, you get those rusty buckets back to life!Cars have souls! You know what I mean, 100 %. God bless your soul and guys like you! You just give’em second life! So amazing seeing them coughing and then roaring! Amazing! Binge watching your vids.
Take a lesson, young folks. This is what a work ethic looks like. And the rewards from which it comes. Thanks for all you do, Derek.
As a test, I increased speed until you sound like a Silicon Valley accent -- got to 1.75x and my wife said, a bit fast but there: I thought you were hammered for x-mas eve until I realized I had you on 1x -- as always, great content.
How many people who read this immediately went to the speed up machine and went full1.75 ?
I pretty much 2x everything on UA-cam, and everyone sounds completely wasted at 1x.
great seeing bailey helpin' out! you have great kids derek! you should be proud.
I know it has to make you feel good having him out there in the shop helping you fixer things up.
I'll give you $600 for it just as it sits, and I'll drive it the 400 miles back to New Hampshire and record the whole trip!
I think a guy aughta get some processes on maybe a center brace4000 to go with the outers since why not! Love my table - it's a Langmuir I just don't got the room yet for a big feller. Keep up the great work - if you need any parts designed for your table let a guy know!
Thank You VGG Family,May God Bless You All and Have a Very Merry Christmas 🎄⛄
Believe it or not on this day, I actually saw you on the highway in Franklin TN driving the vice grip garage truck I couldn't whip out my phone fast enough to get a photo but it made my day.
