I believe the biggest shop still owned by wizard,but he's a proffesional garage not fulltime youtubers.however,the biggest compound still goes to LZ (if u dont include cleetus's freedom factory as a "shop")

Property in Kansas is really cheap after the famous law suit “Witch vs Gale”. Something about building footings not being up to code for common weather conditions causing accidental death.
@@santeriairaksinen398 Rabbit was known for doing exactly that on his ebay car sales, he did a vinwiki about why he's banned form ebay for life. So just a reference, not saying that rabbit actually owned this building and was doing it.
Amazing how much improved lighting and a newly epoxied floor can brighten a workshop! Congrats, JR! I’m quite jealous but not hatin’…hope you get all the use out of the place you need it for and more!
You're the second person to name drop this dudes first AND last name while saying something about "the credit he deserves" or some shit... What's with that? Does everyone know homie by first and last name?
His first name is JohnRoss. And about the recognition he deserves, I've known him for years. He is a genuine guy, very humble, has worked harder than most to get where he is, and is truly knowledgeable about everything he does. He is someone who truly deserves to be recognized, and respected :)
261k seems low, but the building has needed a ton of work to get it up to spec. The roof was leaking and had inadequate heat. He's replaced or repaired just about everything the previous owner neglected for years. Its a wonder he got the bank to approve a loan with a building in need of so much work to be done. I suspect the fact that his family's previous experience with assembling steel buildings (JR has a video about that) helped convince the bank everything could be taken care of in a timely fashion and the value of the property would soon be more than the load amount. One example being he took a second mortgage to get the roof done properly, indicating the bank thought the property had already gone up in value by that point to merit a 75k roof. JR has shown himself to be very resourceful and skilled at what he does.
I'd say Cleetus still has the best automotive property on UA-cam with the Freedom Factory. He owns his own race track and has a drag strip for a neighbor, with land to put up a garage if the state ever passes his permits. While also enough room to to do more crazy shit
And me with no garage, working on my first motorcycle in my tiny driveway lol. What I wouldn't give to have just a small corner in this shop. You are one very lucky man.
Well if you don't know Cleetus McFarland, check him out. The man owns a freaking track! Car Wizard claims that buying the building next door gives him more square feet than Jr or Adam LZ but he's not using the second building, he's still renting it out to the previous tenants. Rattarosa just has a tiny little two car garage but what he does with what he has is awesome.
@@wingracer1614 I got suggested a channel yesterday greenlightfilming he just bout an abandoned track in wisconsin(I think) just a paved oval and he said something about an 1/8th mile dragstrip too. No where near the size of cleetus's setup but still cool
I have an Adair ring(and I live in Atlanta, Ed). It was actually surprisingly good quality considering I had never heard of them. It has the glow effect and that is way better than expected. If anything happens to this ring, I'd buy another.
He complied though.... we had a neighbor build a house beside our field and never complained to us just called the cops and lied to them. We built a mx track on one side of their house and a dirt drag on the other
I'm in a space that adds up to 6,000 square feet. Only I promised myself not to let it get messy, cluttered, and packed. Three years in, so far so good. ......but all the time is spent on repairs and cleaning......no time left for "shop".
JR, your channel, friends, family, cars, content, collaborations, and last but not least quantity and quality of videos make you one of my top favorites on UA-cam. Your success is well deserved with no end in sight.
FUN FACT: While this was being filmed, Ed was in the kitchenette making himself a peanut butter and jelly sammich .....with EXTRA JELLY.... *LOTS OF EXTRA JELLY* lol but for real congrats on finally doing it right, every man wants what he has!
Watch JR Go is one of the hardest working guys on UA-cam. The transformation of the garage is very, very impressive. And mostly done through the winter without heat, and a lot of it on his own. That's a lot of grit for early starts in the dark .. working all day on your own in the cold .. and getting home in the dark. Much respect from me here in Prague, CZ
I have a feeling Cleetus wil have him beat soon, in 2 years cleetus has bought a big house, a racetrack and spent 1 mill fixing it up, and just bought a new shop down the road, wants more workshops and a museum at the track when planning comes through.
JR is a cool dude. Great content on his channel. I don’t know about KS and where this is but JR should do a collector car parking garage like Matt Farah! especially with a nite club! Cool beans
How long until Hoovie starts asking to park some of his cars there?
He has his own warehouse already
@@RonLaw82 not his own. he shares an airplane hanger.
@@mrdauntl3ss I think it's his, but he don't want to admit.
@@Krzysztof_88 Or it could be his dad's hangar
@@andyhercer I could be wrong, but I thought he showed the guy who owns the hanger in a video?

JR must be the hardest worker on UA-cam. He deserves a lot of success.
This guy is a grafter. Positive outlook. Deserves all his success. Loved his souped-up Rolls.
Congrats on the shop love to see young people do good things and be successful hats off to you and all the others chasing the dreams
Man I remember when you showed me the listing for $1. I thought 500k minimum for sure but apparently I don't know Kansas.
Well the flip side is in SoCal, that's easily $2M+, IF you can find a parcel like that anywhere near civilization.
That is Chicago pricing;)
We estimated the property would sell for $165k so we make out pretty well.
@@FUNKOfilms Why Legit’s pricing was higher than JR’s purchase price. 🤣 Exactly my point.
Love that Lowrider Fiero! 😉
This is 10% of what the LZ compound is if we're being honest. Amazing find and awesome it's being used by car guys.
Can you ever really have enough garage space?
Rhetorical question
Um ed the bigger the shed the bigger the pile of crap you accumulate
NEVER!!!!!!
Gets the worlds the biggest garage and puts 1 lamborghini aventador 🤣
Depends on who is cleaning it LOL
I believe the biggest shop still owned by wizard,but he's a proffesional garage not fulltime youtubers.however,the biggest compound still goes to LZ (if u dont include cleetus's freedom factory as a "shop")
Plus all the lifts and everything. LZ 100% wins
Pays to watch till the end bro. They covered that
He says that he had the biggest shop on youtube until LZ bought the compound
@@KountSmakulla Did you watch the whole vid?
A proper shop is the one thing Cleetus doesn't have at the Freedom Factory!
John Ross getting the recognition he deserves from the UA-cam auto community
Never heard of him
Edit your typos.
Congrats John Ross!! Making it to vinwiki is awesome!!!!!!
💯👌

i thought for a sec Adam LZ came back and shared his story about the LZ compound
Was expecting the same thing
I thought it would be Adam LZ as well.
Same. I thought it was the LZ compound.
Came to post the same
Who?
So happy to see JR making his car dreams come true! Thank you for taking all of us along for the ride!
"Sold- for a buck"
"Cool. What'd I buy?"
"35 Industry Way"
AWSOME SOME MORE JR STORIES. I LOVE HIS CHANNEL
Vinwiki: He bought the biggest shop on UA-cam.
Jay Leno's Garage: Am I a joke to you?
Jay has a hanger tho
Adam LZ has a compound with a bunch of garages it’s huge
Jay's not a real UA-camr
@@claytonbyrd6134 MULEFRITTERS!
Leno rents his space.
I bid my entire life savings on that auction but JR beat me when he raised it to $1.
The work JR has put into his building is amazing , what a brilliant project
We need Cleetus to come on and talk about the Freedom Factory!
No... no thanks.
They can't afford him.
Property in Kansas is really cheap after the famous law suit “Witch vs Gale”. Something about building footings not being up to code for common weather conditions causing accidental death.
John Ross is my favorite youtubeer hard working and a born teacher. How on earth does he not have more subscribers? Can't wait to see the next video
I watch a bunch of automotive youtubers. This guy has never been recommended to me.
@@Nick210 that’s a shame because his content really deserves more views! :)
The twist is the guy he was bidding against was the owner of the building...
It was Rabbit
Blake A how do you know?
@@blakea216 Is that a fact or a guess?

Rabbit was known for doing exactly that on his ebay car sales, he did a vinwiki about why he's banned form ebay for life.

I hope there's more stories coming from John Ross, he's a pretty good story teller.
Good to see JR on here, love his content, hopefully they have him back once everything is done, the walls, the Motul lounge, etc. etc. 👍
Great to see John Ross from WatchJRgo on here! Can't believe he got that building for $261k. So happy for him!

JR is one of the coolest guys on YT, I'm really love seeing him thrive.
Always the goal to have more than enough space, no matter what hobby you're in

And me with no garage, working on my first motorcycle in my tiny driveway lol. What I wouldn't give to have just a small corner in this shop. You are one very lucky man.
Smoking a building out.. yeah, we do it differently in Washington State.
I'd love to see TommyFyeah or Jimmy Oakes on the channel some day. Mr. Ed what do you think about that?
TommyFyeah needs to be on my channel... let's do R32 things! 🍻
Tommy's gonna need some censoring when he comes in telling people to cross their dicks lol
Litteally 0 interesting stories unless you wanna hear Jimmy tell about how specific races and what he decided to call them when his bike was stolen
@@WatchJRGo That sounds like a fantastic idea
Watch J R GO is one of my favourite channels, I miss when he had the massive shop and I think he should get into another permanent shop again
This is not the biggest shop on UA-cam now. Adam LZ holds that title. His place is even bigger than Vaughn Gittin's
He does mention that in the video.
Adam LZ Hold my beer 😎Good Clickbait 🙃😉
Someone should do a montage of all automotive youtuber properties/garages. would be great to maybe even see some that i havent even known about.
Well if you don't know Cleetus McFarland, check him out. The man owns a freaking track!

I have a parking lot where I store my cars.
Steve of This Week In Cars has his stacked full of every car he’s ever owned.
JBL Pro dealer here, Nice touch with the vrx but if you really want to shake the building you need a couple of 20 box hangs ;p
CONGRATULATIONS !
I been watching this guy since before he bought the Tracker and his work ethic and determination impressed me from the get go.
I've subscribed to JR for some time but, I didn't realize he was economically on point where this was possible. I wish him all the success!
Car Wizard is chuckling saying, that's cute ;)
not sure if you're being sarcastic or not 😉 but im pretty sure this is about 5x bigger than his place. has more potential too.
@@genociderjill Car Wizard owns more total square footage, but he isn't using it all because his second building has a tenant.
Its not. Mine is.
That’s right!
So happy for him can't wait for the new content
Biggest shop on UA-cam? I think Adam LZ has this topped by a LOT, and probably for less $ per sq. foot.
Yep but I bet ol' Cleetus has more acreage
He addresses this directly in the video
Cleetus definitely has biggest area
wasn't even the biggest before adams either.
@@Mr_jz_12 it definitely was
It's great to see J.R. on the show!
Adam LZ has him beat on shop space I’d say
JR even agrees and says so in the video.
Yeah he said at the end I dont think anyone will ever beat LZ shop. And I agree.
Get LZ to come talk about his new compound! Great video as always 👍
I have an Adair ring(and I live in Atlanta, Ed). It was actually surprisingly good quality considering I had never heard of them. It has the glow effect and that is way better than expected. If anything happens to this ring, I'd buy another.
How can a "neighbor" in an obvious industrial are next to a RR freight line complain about loud music?
He complied though.... we had a neighbor build a house beside our field and never complained to us just called the cops and lied to them. We built a mx track on one side of their house and a dirt drag on the other
Maybe it was Nickleback.
reminds me of when Bart Simpson bought an abandoned factory for $1.00 at a foreclosure auction
APPARENTLY THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ADAM LZ AND HIS NEW COMPOUND..FORGET A BUILDING HES GOT HOUSES AND BUILDINGS*** LOL
i was waiting for the mention of AdamLZ 😂
I love getting called SNIPER when you hit the last second.
Nice to see someone else besides Hoovie’s Garage represent Wichita Ks!
This dudes in my town, he’s awesome
Cool story bro
It looks exactly like the Car Wizard's shop.
Um, not even close
Wizard has a boat and land yacht.
Way nicer
Matt Farrah swinging in the air right now!
Does Cleetus count with a whole track?
I'm in a space that adds up to 6,000 square feet. Only I promised myself not to let it get messy, cluttered, and packed.
Three years in, so far so good. ......but all the time is spent on repairs and cleaning......no time left for "shop".

1000%

Been a WatchJRGo sub since he was circa 50k subs. He's one of my daily watches!!
This has to a title owned by Adam LZ
Yeah, Adam LZ’s compound is going to be hard to beat. Your spot is still gnarly as hell though. And you’ll pay it off way quicker.
Let's Go JR! So cool to see you on here and growing dude! 🤙👊👊💪💪👊👊🤙
He's such a nice guy. You need to have him on again in a few months to talk about the garage building process and the motorbike record pursuits.
Whenever he gets the R8 tune done and sold that whole project would be a great long story
I think the Adam lz compound out shines this shop by 45000 square feet lmao
Looks really great. Think Jay Leno's is the biggest. Certainly has the best collection!
JR, is the man. Great fun.
Dang JRGo on here. Made it to the big time
Love JR!
That other guy was probably the car wizard
2015: $200k a reasonable price for a shop. 2021: I stole this shop for $200k.
He didn't "steal" anything. The seller agreed to sell at that price.
Let’s get WatchJRGo to 500k!
Adam LZ wins the UA-cam real estate competition. Comeon.
I have a feeling Cleetus wil have him beat soon, in 2 years cleetus has bought a big house, a racetrack and spent 1 mill fixing it up, and just bought a new shop down the road, wants more workshops and a museum at the track when planning comes through.

Location: South Wichita suburb of Derby.
I like your attitude about working on cars simple terms called Cash Flow
Hell yes. Its never too much space!
I love how he has a VW/Audi MQB high pressure fuel pump on his shirt lol
Awesome place JR. I’d love to have a garage that size
Adam LZ has entered the chat
Have you seen the LZ compound haha
Lz laughs in compound
Right!?
Why does KS punch above it's weight class in Automotive UA-cam channels?
Cleetus need to get in here and talk about how he bought a racetrack
Nice shop ❤
"He bought the biggest shop on UA-cam!" Then the Wizard bought a 2nd place to try to outdo him :)
I'm so jealous. Stuck in an apartment right now. Love to find a shop.
