When you said if that got scratched it would hurt you, I agree. I have been watching you for a long time, and the one thing I can say, is that you are a methodical, detail oriented person. You go to a greater extent than most when flipping car's. I would not think twice about buying a car from you. You are a lot like your dad, he is very organized and detail oriented as well. Hope your business work's out for you, don't blame you being nervous about the future either. God bless John Ross.
Good job on the Lexus Its very close to being showroom fresh. I still dont like the idea of watching TV sideways, even if its a giant screen just because somebody put a car hoist in the way. still betting you eventually move it lol.
Twenty foot tv but no workbench. It actually makes a little sense when you factor in sponsorships, but do yourself a favor and pop for a bench. It’s much nicer and gives you somewhere to mount a vise. You can get one on wheels that you can move around even easier than a barrel.
John Ross...YOU are the REAL deal...unlike some of your YT buddies! I really enjoy your videos. You make the viewer seem they are right there with you! Any updates on the Rolls Royce? I drove my 79 GM converted Shadow today! Love it!
Nicely done. One step you might consider is wiping down the console parts' edges with spray silicone before assembly (especially plastic parts that slide/move like a cup holder). Not only do they go together easier, but they also move like new, and squeaks are definitely reduced.
Why the clickbait in the title tho? The replacement screen shipped was perfect. Your fans are smarter than most since your videos are pretty technical. We gonna watch without the clickbait title 👍
Yes a bit disappointing... one wheel was wrong so it went back and he found another one, meanwhile he had a major success finishing the cabin and it’s ready to go in a sweet trade....
Desperate for clicks. This is what you do. Have misleading titles. Another TH-camr losing CREDIBILITY. Makes you feel like you took you car to the mechanic and tells you that you need a whole new engine when all it needed is some new spark plugs :)
Hey there build yourself a mobile work bench on locking wheels and put a vise on the end for clamping or holding parts when needed. Get the soft jaws for your vise. Then you got more space then a drum :) and you can add a matt for delicate stuff
Whenever I have a dash apart like that I always thoroughly clean everything behind the dash the exact same way. I know that no one will ever see it because it's going to be covered by some panels, but it just gets so darn nasty. Can't leave it like that.
What are the plans for all that ripped up insulation again? I can't stop staring at it in disgust, especially with the rest of the shop looking awesome.
Love your content Jon. your a modern day MacGyver I love your talent and your attention to detail to fix anything.You are one of the most talented TH-camrs. you never disappoint. You rock !!!
Just curious about y ur buddy is taking his pants off in the background @ 4:05? Does that help him drive faster on his game?🤔🤨🤣😂 Also y wouldn't u just swap one entire unit for the other instead of just the screen?
My mommy used to carp at me about "jerky movements," which could lead to various damaged things. 65 years later, nothing has changed. If I were doing this, I'd put a very soft pad over that workbench. Good on you, though.
Could do a series where you trade up to a very expensive car over a series of fixed cars...kind of like the guy who traded a paper clip all the way up to a house. Costs you nothing and would be great content!
I purchased a IMMACULATE 1997 Lexus ES300 Silver 45k one owner garage kept for $3400 1-19-2021 - NEW TIRES, New Toyota Timing belt/water pump/thermostat/radiator was changed 2018 @ 41k. the owner paid $36,991 cash in April 1997. Full Synthetic 5w-30 Mobil1 changed 21+ times. My 25 year old son is so excited, my wife and other sons are jealous.
It's all about the details. That's where the $$$ come from. I'm helping a friend sell an 09 C4S. The 3rd brake light had a few bulbs burned out. Occasional error msg on the dash. Would be dinged for $600 by dealer on a PPI for retail parts + labor. Talked the dealer down from $180 to $130 for the part and saved the 3 hrs labor by doing it myself. Pain in the a$$ to change but worth it for the savings.
JR.....You really need better and bigger working table made by wood, not steal. How ever I love to follow your videos way you are focusing one car at a time..... keep doing that. By the way....what is going to happen Rolls Royce what is your home .. ?
C'mon dude stop with the bs video titles such as scared to death, everything went wrong. You don't need to over dramatise stuff to get clicks/views. Your better than that....
If you do it again, I'm un-subscribing. It's insulting to your viewers to engage is such juvenile crap. Such behavior also demonstrates that you don't know who your audience is, and it's time you figured that our.
I'm glad you i work on your vehicles that's doing something i know certain youtuber buys hooptys then has a popular mechanic work on the hooptys that's not doing anything that's just spending money then the mechanic does all the work.
Man I wish you were doing this car when I spilled sprite all over my center stack in my 2011 GS 350. It was a pain in the ass replacing my amplifier lol.
Have i ever mentioned my baby, he just stops fussing when he's watching you. I dint know if its because you are always building repairing and pulling things apart or what. But he needs a onesie of your merch.
@@Dabbins82 Silence slave! You must bring up your children as the all-powerful state decrees.. mwhaa haa haaaa! 😄 I know right. Some of the things my daughter (8) is picking up from school is really worrying. I used to think brainwashing was near impossible, since we can all think independently, but from what we've seen over the past couple of years, I was obviously mistaken.
How to REALLY make yourself sick....detail well used station wagons. Just did the one I bought recently. The words THICK and STICKY describe most encounters. 😝😝😝
got anything to trade for an 02 Acura TL Type S? just under 120k 3,2v6 pearl white body kit pwr everything leather int new brakes rotors and pads new struts all 4 corners last yr tires replaced same time
I was getting nervous when the guy in the background starting taking his pants off! Lol!
Especially when John said he had wood!
4:03 for those who missed it, lol
* *Gaming intensifies* *😂
"theres no way this barrel will scratch anything" then magically a microfiber cloth appears under it LOL
The detail really made a huge difference. Looks good.
Detail ALWAYS makes a difference. Most people don't take care of their shit.
makes me wonder how my truck might look after an expensive detail, it sat for like 10 years, f150 red vermillion. the paint is pretty oxidized
Great job getting the center console back up and running. That's going to be a nice car for the next owner.
Everything went wrong?? Please don’t click bait when clearly most everything went right. Love the channel.
Yeah, that's Scotty Kilmer territory with the click bait titles. I'd 2nd please don't copy his shinanigans.
Gotta make the clicks champ
I see you are just letting people take their pants off in your shop at the 4:05 mark now. Haha
LMAO

Finally you put a rag on the 44 gallon drum .... thank you , you were making me nervous .
My thoughts when he was cleaning the centre console with a microfibre cloth, like why didn't you just lay one of them down on the 44 gallon drum

Hahahaha at the flip phone icon on the nav screen
I love the work bench. It's proof you can make anything a work bench.

at 4:04 guy taking his pants off lol
It's obvious you are an excellent mechanic/technician, you don't abuse what you are working on or your tools.👍👍
JR successfully restores a weathered tombstone
That radio came out looking good

Nice old Lexus, can't go wrong with that car.
Whenever I have a dash apart like that I always thoroughly clean everything behind the dash the exact same way. I know that no one will ever see it because it's going to be covered by some panels, but it just gets so darn nasty. Can't leave it like that.
Those lego blocks adidas are Sooo comfortable and A+ walking support.
Wow that’s an upgrade.
Bring on the CIVIC!
Also a fast food straw helps with no sliding scratches.
That's such a nice car now. Beautiful work!
Really a towel JR?, your better than that! Keep it up, I so enjoy these videos and keeps me going each day
Pretty sure that was a microfiber towel, which is more than fine for what he was doing.
Glad you were able to get the screen fixed! So close to perfect.
Maybe the detail guys can look in to the dry ice detailing machine to clean wheels and stuff?
Will you fix the bumper and fog lights?
What are the plans for all that ripped up insulation again? I can't stop staring at it in disgust, especially with the rest of the shop looking awesome.
He mentioned he was going to replace
It with new vinyl sheeting at some point. I think he’s still recovering from the new roof he installed.
What you've been doing is amazing, JR. Your tech skills, knowledge and industry are impressive. Thanks for sharing 😊
That Lexus is so dang nice
4:02 Look at the shenanigans going on in the background. I'm calling the police.
I love your videos, you seem like just a normal guy who enjoys cars (and that's awesome).
Love your attention to detail and your patience 👍🏻
Nice job. Nav. screen looks great!
Notice how he finally laid down towel on his "workbench"
Love your content Jon. your a modern day MacGyver I love your talent and your attention to detail to fix anything.You are one of the most talented TH-camrs. you never disappoint. You rock !!!
That's a really nice Corolla.
Series Idea: Continue with fixing & trade ups, see what you can end up with
If I could help Watch JR Goes work on the Lexus I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the Number and get all schmoked up.
I liked your video JR. Single-handedly saved the channel!
11:21 scooter gang or die!
What I have noticed and one of the things I like about you because you don't do it is throw parts around. I mean parts that will be reused.
That lift is in the way
Congratulations JohnRoss...you bumped up another 1K subs. 319K...Sweet!
Definitely worth the cost for the replacement nav screen.
You should have switched it out with one that has CarPlay
Wow that was an epic journey. You do good work JR.
253k miles. Wow, sounds good.
You mean es tree fiddy😂😂😂
That color is really pretty. I love the 5th gen ES’s
thanks for the reminder jr. im gonna go take a shower and let the videos play. hopefully you get a couple extra views.lol
I had to chuckle when the towel suddenly appeared. :-)
You should install the Tesla style screen for Lexus.. same money
Just curious about y ur buddy is taking his pants off in the background @ 4:05?
Does that help him drive faster on his game?🤔🤨🤣😂

Lovely "Custom Deluxe Camry de Elegance 250"
He said EVERYTHING I was waiting for the screen to not work
Nice.
Wait…. What went wrong? Looks like it is fixed.
Great job on the Lexus!
Turned out nice! 👍👍
Besides the wheel, what went wrong??
Could do a series where you trade up to a very expensive car over a series of fixed cars...kind of like the guy who traded a paper clip all the way up to a house. Costs you nothing and would be great content!
How did everything go wrong??
Thanks for showing us how to do it, Being Sarcastic
Great video JR.
Favorite time of day is video drop time.

I learned fast to use oem parts....
Everyone should chip in and help you get a workbench
Everything went wrong? What else did other than the wrong wheel being shipped out?
we get it
There was a plastic straw still wrapped in its paper to protect the bezel lol!

i hear umbergini has her own channel
Always a good video keep it up
So everything wrong is you got the wrong wheel...?
Yep pretty clickbait title.
Will you be able to see your security on wall of tv madness? I think that would be cool.
Yeah he can add a matrix switcher to the input of the video wall
What a beautiful car!!
So the Cluster turned into a 'Cluster'
It wouldn't hurt to put a microfiber cloth on that red drum!
Those ES's are really nice cars.
You make a bad thing good JR, Good job

@@glock22357 and why he HAS lost viewers.
@@Thealsomemro2 Yes, misleading titles is sure to keep people coming back. Maybe the stupid ones.
I'm ready to buy that car man... 🚗
Fortunately, no anti-theft codes required.
why not just add carplay aftermarket??? oem system sucks anyway
