This is weird but for the first time ever on Money Pit we actually want to make a car sit higher! Unlike the Money Pit Miata, we’ll be absolutely thrashing the e36 in the dirt which means rocks, lots of rocks. So in order to avoid as many rocks as possible we need to make the e36 sit taller. Today we’re dropping in a new set of long travel suspension coilovers and hopefully it’ll be worth all the money and effort we’re throwing into the pit!
We have a new channel!

Double cheeked up... On a Wednesday afternoon.
Sheeeesh

They have been in quarantine for over a year I dont blame them
Hiring Zach Jobe was Donut Media’s best ever decision
Absolutely
Jerry Barry
I agree, 100%
Everyone I've seen on camera has been cool. I think that's only 4-5 people but yeah. No duds here
Other than having a show on tv
Next mod is. Skidplates to save that oil pan just in case if there were rocks in the dessert
Skid plate should be priority on German manufacture cars
Could also just space the engine mounts up a few mm’s with washers. The pan sits jussst below the subframe on these cars.
I learned this the had way
I hate when I’m munching on some ice cream and then WHAM rock😩
Yeah, the oil pan getting hit would be a bad time
I know it's not practical for a off road build, but I would love to see a body work episode of Zack pulling out and fixing the BMW's dents to the best of his abilities.
I mean, I fixed the dents in my 99 Ram 1500 that's marked out for offroading bc it bugged me to have all the dents, its something of a monthly ritual lol
,,and one they we’ll fix that fender”
16:41 " if i hit i jump, i might survive it"
behind him, a huge graffiti on the wall says BELIEVE
Using the floor jack to loosen a stuck nut, genius!
Sometimes my genius is almost frightening
Quite a common occurrence if you live where it snows for more than a month. Especially on those suspension bolts. Pro tip: use some copper anti-seize or threadlocker when re-assembling to stop rust in the threads. Either one works.

"Everything feels nice and tight, and that's what I want."
-Zach Jobe

i hate my mind
Headline: "Zach Jobe Gives Aging German 3 Fingers in the Front and One in the Rear"
Zach Jobe a man who knows what he wants
Firm yet supple 😉
The amount of sexual references that were in this episode and he didn’t laugh deserves a Emmy on its own “blow any holes out the back”
Firm yet supple
nice and tight
"one finger at the rear" "3 fingers at the front" SHOCKER!!!
"We went from one finger in the back to a solid three. You can even get four if you're trying"
"And in the front we had two and a half now we've got a pretty easy whole hand."
Jobe: Uses the jack to loosen the bolt that is behind the hub.
Me: “ohhhh... so I’ve just been an idiot with broken knuckles for the last several years.”
Right? Wish I would’ve thought of that before.
That’s what I was thinking… im over here using a huge metal rod to help get leverage.. when I could’ve just used the jack 🤦♂️
My motto is work smarter not harder
What did he use the jack to jack up on the ratchet?
One of the first tricks I learned In the army and soooo glad (lucky) that I did. I thought It was common knowledge. It was just because everything we work on is big.
“It feels firm, yet, supple.” -Zach Jobe

“We went from one finger in the rear to 3, maybe 4 if you’re trying.” - Zach Jobe
Just want to say i've now binged the entirety of moneypit in a under a week, all by my self.. until this episode where my dad sat down a minute before Zach decided to show how caked up he is..
Zach is basically car Jesus now with that beautiful hair of his.
Stupid luscious locks of furry!
he needs a poster made as CarJesus. thats the rule
Ian McCullum a.k.a. GunJesus has his poster :)
would do for a cool competition XD
Making jesus jokes is weird for me.
Lmao 🤣🤣 car Jesus

This channel is the PERFECT mix of educational, entertaining, and comedy. Not a single episode that doesn't make me laugh
I never thought I'd get back into cars ever since my failed project that just discouraged me after failing to complete it (sold it...) But after watching this channel I have realized a reborn attraction that has come to fruition. Thank you.
"I need a haircut"

@@a2rgaming863 what use do you get out of saying that
Zach being double caked up is something I would never have imagined to see ever on any Donut video
ua-cam.com/video/xBmdmOzhxyc/v-deo.html
Zach is the best addition to Donut. Period. Honestly has motivated to wrench again
ua-cam.com/video/xBmdmOzhxyc/v-deo.html
Here's a tip that might help. Measure the stock shocks at ride height and then measure your coil overs. Adjust your coilovers to be longer than the stock shocks
The moment of the day I was waiting for
Now if they would actually take this to a shop that knows what they are doing while adjusting the coils for rally. Zach just adjusted the length, but damping + preload would be nice to see.
Zach didn’t have to be so THIQ this morning SHEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
baby boi can't help it tho
rockin those mom jeans rrrrrrreally hard.
Thic butt
🥵
I think he was enjoying it
This series can’t release episodes fast enough! I just can’t get enough of it. Zach Jobe needs a TV series for this. WE WANT MORE JOBE DAMMIT!!!
Using the car jack to push the wrench when the bolt was rusted was genius level stuff. I have done my brakes so many times and end up using breaker bars and extenders and have never thought of that. Thanks for showing it!
"We're basically done here."
The 5 minutes left in the video say otherwise Bud
famous last words
Mission failed successfully
Key word basically
ua-cam.com/video/-ATx8E-AoBY/v-deo.html
Zach's modeling days may start after today
Yoooooo Jobe do be having that dump truck though 🥵
17:45 That's a hell yes from me too. I can't even remember how my stock suspension feels I've had mine on for so long now. She already cornered like a beast because its a 2 seater. Now I can pull a G easy tearing ass around turns even tight ones. And as a "bonus" theres one spot in the freeway close to me that I get the tiniest bit of air on when I go over it over 80. Yes our road around here are shit
"We are trying to be a little budget minded here" Yeah sure man lets have another look at this quote in a month from now xD
"We went from one finger in the back to 3 maybe 4" - Zach
"maybe 4 if you are trying"*
From "I'm not ready for a serious relationship" to "I think I'm ready to settle down"

I admire the fact he works on the floor. My 300lbs ass is used to a lift.

No kidding.

It's no coincidence that you guys have 5+ mil subscribers. You guys are doing the kind of stuff that we talk about when we're stoned with the homies. Obtainable cars and realistic mods.
“Fit one finger in the rear” “fit 3 fingers in the front” “I’m going to use this big strong thing I have” “it feels firm yet subtle”
Mix these quotes with Zack hiking his pants up to heaven just gave this video some much needed sexual tension
Can’t forget “Six inches on the money!”
Yessssss. I want to be a pro rally driver when I grow up.
you gotta have big bucks for it. like, really big bucks. My mothet had a friend in college who came from a really rich family and started rallying. until he got to pro level he maybe spent a couple hundred thousands of euros
Keep pushing man, don't care about money. Show them your talent, work hard for it and you will get noticed and sponsored
Group B for me even though I know everything that happened
Ive subscribed for when you make it
Good luck,hope you make it

Zach seems really happy and upbeat this episode, i think hes a ~little~ bit excited for this car
I once owned a 99 323is & a 93 325i. Wish this youtube channel exist back then. I would have def learned so much. I am a fan of Zach!
I don't really know my way around a car and have no intention of ever doing anything more than change a light bulb or add wiper fluid. But I just love listening to Zach walk me through how to tear a car apart and then put it back together again.
Jobe bout to make me act up when he said one finger in the rear three in the front.
That's a shocker
4:26 AYO?😳
👉👈
Your name matches the clip perfectly
"Jesus is my mechanic" really rocking that messiah vibe with that haircut!
ua-cam.com/video/-ATx8E-AoBY/v-deo.html
I’m aware your still a young man but to save your hands you should put 1 bolt half way back in and then hit the inside of the tire with a rubber mallet if the wheel is stuck. More force and saves your palms. Apply a wire bush and nickel paste to the hub to make wheel removal easier in the future. Great channel and keep it up!
"Don't judge me....yet" definitely should have been a Fit.
ua-cam.com/video/xBmdmOzhxyc/v-deo.html
Hey Jobe! Glad you guys installed rear reinforcement plates. Recommend you consider front plates also. The front shock towers “mushroomed” on one of my E36’s due to running coilovers with no plates. Garagistic makes a nice set. Just a recommendation! Keep up the great content!
4:26 jobe had me dying 😂

oooh that would benefit them

"Wheels just fall off"
Continues to kick them because he can't pull them off
I was just about to say, as a “Euro” myself, that tires falling off during mounting/dismounting is almost never the case - and especially not when you want it.
@@Snablarns Happens to all cars. 2 of my japanese cars had this problem. First was because of corrosion from washing the wheels. Second was a new used car I bought. I had a shop take it off for me first time since I needed to get a free rotation anyways. The second time it happened, I had to roll one of the wheels loosened lugs for a few times. Then I figured out once you have a little wiggle room, you can rock it back and forth and it comes loose easily

Add in his growing mane and omg 😲
I love the 4 pack of Nolan, James, Zach, and Jerruah.
Two things. 1) I had coil overs on my E36, and they quite frankly sucked. One day after working on it, I forgot to reconnect the front sway bay, and from then on it was amazing. Very neutral handling, but with on demand oversteer that was very smooth, predictable, and very easily controlled.
2) In the factory tool kit on the inside of the boot lid there should be an alluminium bar that's threaded on one end, and knurlled on the other. That's a wheel locator to make fitting and removing the wheel bolts easy. Just remove the upper most bolt, and replace it with the bar, then remove the others. The bar will hold the wheel in place till you want to remove it. Fitting the wheels is just the reverse, and with the wheels being hubcentric, all your bolt holes will automatically line up.
15:06 "Not bad, we went from one finger in the back to a solid three, you can even get four if you're trying-"
"And then on the front, we went from 2 1/2, three, and now we have a pretty easy whole hand."
Damn Jobe, didn't know you were into that sorta 'engineering'.
