That bulletproof van would have made the ultimate tiny house off-the-grid living survival van.
Buy one.😊
Not really, maybe, MAYBE, if you either get a trailer to put some more stuff in, or somehow mount one of those pop-up tent/trailers. Even though it's a full size cargo van, that's not nearly enough room for even just the basic amenities. You gotta have "so much more room for activities" 😂
Seriously im just blown looking at all the parts i could use for my e350
As a nova scotian watching these trucks with zero rust get crushed makes me internally die a bit
Hey fellow nova scotian!
Same, although I'm not nova Scotian.
i am living in Halifax and this do make me sad
@@jordanzwicker3557 it's very depressed how these people are so wasteful
Man as someone from the rust belt it kills me seeing those rust free bodys going to scrap but i get it man. No hate just different areas of living 😂
I'm from down south and it hurts to see them crushed
I don't understand why they don't recover the headlights, and all the elements that can be reused
No shit.
All because a entity gives a old car a low book value lol i could go buy me a new tacoma in cash but ill keep my old 1998 tacoma v6 4wd 5 speed that the book says its worth 6000$ lol
@romain13100 Might as well buy new head lights. Don't cheap out on things loke that.
Could you have sold the glass separately, ?bulletproof windshields start at $4,500.
People aren’t going to pay all that in the area he lives in and most people just lowball you, I seen he had listed working cars on sale with some minor paint scratches for a reasonable price and no one bought it, it’s a junkyard for a reason if no one wants it it’s going to get crushed
There hasn’t been any videos that ever deserved a thumbs down. It’s called adventures made from scratch. Adventures are planed but remain unpredictable. Makes for great memories.
Agreed,hit the like 👍 button at the beginning, knowing that he keeps it an adventure all the way
Fine job
A men 😊
😅😅😅 do anyone love me
@@WeMol yes. Cheers 🥂
Super video !!!! you don't see a thing like that every day . Thank you for sharing that spectacle with us .these special videos will be saved for future viewing . Stuart in Canada ..
The only thing that’s a bummer is that you folks can send solid cars to the crusher. Up here in Michigan it seems like they are 50% rust by the time it ends up in a yard. I like your video style - keep up the good work.
Really upsetting to see all those good parts and cars gone
you ain't just shitting
Same!
I agree
Ok
I was thinking the same thing.
Hi, Silas. It looks like the old van went without a fight, the newer armored van put up a bit of a fight, but Captain Silas and his 2,400 PSI Crusher got the job done. Another fun video. They all get a thumbs up from me because you earn it. Always a good show for us boys. Thank you !
How to make a Pancake out of an Armored Van ! That was very Interesting ! Loved the old Footage of an Former Armored Van as well ! All the Cars had now been Crushed and the Yard must look Fantastic - soooo much Space to fill it up again - ha-ha !!!! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Great Video Silas, Thanks for sharing !
As always Silas you have outdone yourself with your car crushing videos! Saving the good ones and junking the bad ones are exactly why I love your uploads! You are top notch at this and I enjoy every video!!
Good ones- bad ones...? gM Silverados crush others not so much
The last job I did before I retired was tear down an old & build a new car shredder. Every day on the ground you could walk around and pick up a coffee can full of coins. They were mostly unusable but it was cool to know how much change was left in cars. The old shredder filled up a ship in 6 weeks and the new shredder filled up a ship in just 6 days with shredded steel. The shredder had a total weight of 1,000,000lbs and at full speed it took 3 people to load cars on the conveyor. The motor was 7,000hp and ran on 14,700 volts. The shredding wheel was 12 feet wide, 8 feet in diameter and had 14-900lb hammers rotating at 800 RPM's. The main body was 3 inches thick steel and had 5 inch thick replicable wear liner pads. It sat up on huge coil springs atop a steel form filled with concrete 9 & feet off the ground. Trademark Metals Recycling, Tampa, FL 2002. Cost of machine $6,100,000.00 with labor included. Turnkey turn around was 6 weeks.
Wow that’s amazing. What a job!
I saw a lot of parts on that van that were still good to sell.
1. Ford emblem
2. Grill
3. Headlight assembly
4. Sideview mirrors
5. Taillight assembly
6. Axles
The front wheels were good as well.
Love your show every time I see you crush something I have in the past memories are made of this. I donated vehicles here in Chilliwack bc for the monster truck show I gave them a full size Chevy 1ton van the owner installed a metal brace into about half the cargo space. When the first monster truck rolled up on it he nearly flipped over a real crowd pleaser thanks for the memories
When you picked up that armored van with your front loader I figured it would crush. Glad to see your sub numbers steadily increasing!
What a shame! So many of these still have good parts on them as a parts cars! Vans! Trucks. All crushed are gone forever.
So many useful parts on these sad to see some of the parts destroyed and those old rear differentials
It would have been great if you two had the time to take and shoot that van with different calibers of guns to see what all it would do,, of course the world is full of you should of,, keep up the great video love them
So many older vehicles are being crushed nowadays and its really making it difficult across the entire country to find parts for older vehicles, some guys that have old suburbans like the blue one in the beginning of the video, looked like it had some good body parts that coulda been sold and used on other trucks, sad to see all these old vehicles being destroyed, its definitely making it harder to find junkyard parts that the dealers cant get or parts stores want too much for em or cant get em at all
I’ve tried to sell parts off that stuff for years and no one wants them except for people on the other side of the country, and shipping eats up all the value.
Really... My 2013 Traverse needs new headlights and taillights... Altogether, they add up to over $1000 bucks today!
@@WCM1945
WTF!
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch that suck.
I'm in the salvage business and it hurts me to see all those trucks and suv crushed. 😂 so much money to ba made there.
You do your best, and it is great. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder.
I like how you taking your time sometimes people have feeling for cars
Great crushing video but so far the best video was the car thur the old house. Never seen a video like that thanks for your time. You always have fun and great videos.
That van looked good for a second life.. no rust..
Dear Mr. Silas
👍👌👏 Oh WOW! Nearly 500 crushed vehicles ready to be hauled away is definitely a lot. I hope that the scrap metal prices will go up soon. 2) Maaaan, I would very much like to help you clearing the trees, bushes, sorting things etc.. I absolutely love those kind of jobs. But unfortunately there is this big pond between us, sigh.
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.
Very interesting 🤔 content. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
Congrats on reaching the end of crushing all those cars and trucks Silas. (And a big thanks for saving as many vintage vehicles as you could)
Squish those cars and trucks! Silas, maestro of crushing!
I absolutely love seeing all that stuff crushed have not seen anything valuable crushed yet you are a smart man you sell the things that are actually of value.
Here in south africa we strip all usable parts off before crushing. Because there is always someone who will buy the parts for the cars that need them. By the time it goes to the crusher its a bare shell. You get more money that way
Unfortunately it isn’t like that here in this part of the country. All the salvage yards near me went bankrupt, but the scrap yards all did good.
Crazy that's like a newish van would have definitely bought one of those if they were cheap
A better crushin video, first crush I've seen where the vehicle splays out.
Don't kick youself too hard for the camera mishap!
Thanks Silas! 🤠👍
Excellent content and great job.
Hey I liked the armored van being crushed but the other white van that you crushed was a little cooler. The back doors kind of split open. Anyway, I still like watching that crusher! Thanks and have a good week!
That poor 08+ front clip! Oh well. That was fun to watch though.
Great and fun video. After the armored van the crusher deserves a break. 😂😂👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
I used to work for an armored car company, those vans look similar to the ones we used. Company policy was driver up front, messenger in the back. I would wager a guess that the small door on the side of the van is a drop shoot for completed stops to deposit them into a safer safety box.
And yeah, if the AC didn't work you were in for a long miserable day.
What city and state? Wouldn't that be impossible in hot states? Illegal, probably.🥵
Me too. I remember many a day sweating my butt off under my vest even with the air conditioner on lol. The driver had the better end of the deal.
Bullet proof glass?
Sounds like a challenge.
10:35. Nice demonstration on how bulletproof, technically bullet resistant glass works, rather than shattering it folds inward to catch the bullet and prevent it from exiting the other side, at least for the smaller rounds most commonly used in robberies.
Really fun time lapse in the beginning, that view in the crusher is cool
WOW, that nice thank you for sharing
Life happens Silas. It was a great regardless of the malfunction. Be well friend.
Awesome video!! I enjoy it
That's some good aluminum plate in there
Im retiring now was a trucker different trucks, I've watched such BEAUTIFUL OLD CAR'S BEING CRUSHED YOU WOULD CRY !!! 😢😮
Those 1990's Suburbans, Tahoes and Silverados are starting to be quite desirable, a la square bodies of the 1970's and 1980's. It may be a good investment idea to keep them out of the crusher and set them aside.
From time to time I try advertising them on marketplace but nothing ever sells, even for cheap prices.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Give it another 5 years or so and they will certainly command premium prices, especially if the body and frame is in good shape. Right now they're still considered just an old truck and not yet a collectible.
The 2010+ versions of them suck and the way things are going those types of trucks will be completely out of production soon, being replaced by disposable unibody EV iPads on wheels. That's when the 1990's / early 2000's models will become the new Broncos and K5 Blazers to the nostalgic fans of "real trucks".
Crushing old Civics, Saturns, Hyundais and Caravans is one thing, but those big offroad capable body-on-frame trucks are diamonds in the rough. Truck fans do not yet know they want them, but they soon will. That's how the retro offroad truck scene goes for the last 60+ years.
I enjoyed watching that armored van crush. I never really thought about the weak spots an armored vehicle would have. I guess they're just hoping folks see it's armored and figure it was impenetrable and go on their way. Not all armored vehicles carry money, some carry documents, jewels/jewelry etc.. I understand completely about missing the shot- I've done it many times. Hope the prices go up soon for you. Stay safe and GOD bless
I think your cowardly god was hiding again, this time he is done inside that van- now you can pray to Joe Pesci 50/50 anyway lol
Found your channel 3 days ago hard watching some of those get crushed but I understand because you explained it I would have tried ripping the back doors off with a chain with forklift have a good day and always be safe
Another fine video. I loved that little turtle running in the road behind you during the intro. 😂😂❤
I used to work at a local junkyard when I was 19 here in Columbus Ohio. I operated the crusher. Granted that was back in like 1989 or 90. They had me crushing all kinds of old classics. Sometimes it was heart breaking. They didn’t even care. I mentioned to them multiple times to at least part them out but no luck. I did save a GT fuel cap from an old Torino but lost it over the years. One of the worst was a very save able Pontiac GTO 455 4 speed.
Awesome as always..
Love all the different vantage points for crushing!
FYI before your next armored car crush: There are a lot of Locksmith Kits out there. If that doesn't work, an Angle Grinder chops open locks.
With that forklift he can remove the entire door easily
Don't beat yourself up Silas! It was cool anyway!😊
Pretty cool. That van body looked pretty good.
Hi Silas.
You just crushed an identical vehicle to the one I drive now.
I have a black & gold 1997 GMC Suburban LTE with leather captains chairs.
Mine has 218,000 miles & is still going strong.
I’m having a really hard time finding replacement leather seats in tan for the drivers side. Everyone I see is worse than mine.
I know you don’t do sales. However someone reading your posts might know where I could get one?
Keep up the great content
Oh, sure Silas, do you really expect a 👎from any of us? Ha Haa, silly man, well give you a 👍all day long. The reason being you. Yup, you make them fun and interesting every time 😮.
There are the few times where I see you put a vehicle like I have owned in years gone by and I wince a touch, reaching for the screen, kinda like I'm going to be able to pluck that vehicle right out of the video to save it, Ha Haa Ha, yeah, I know, silly, right?
Anyway, thanks again for sharing your job and making worth while to watch. OK my friend, have a great evening, and be careful out there. 😮😅😂❤
Crazy what are you going to be doing in Crossville that's only 30 minutes from my house, a few miles north in you hit beautiful great place to fish ,camp boating, over I forget 1,500 miles of shoreline, very few people on it except for weekends on Labor Day weekend things like that,, enjoy yourself down in the south,, be safe traveling, a few miles out of Crossville is one of the big plants that will take and make big cars into little bitty pieces, always wanted to go in and see that see how they separate all of the medal from the plastic and all of that stuff, you ever feel like talk and tell us how they work that how they separate the wire and all of that stuff, God bless you
AWESOME!
that was awesome great video
@13:00 Because Adventures made from scratch likes his sheet steel burger Well Done 👏 ✔️ 😂
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎
That armored van had a very expensive Motorola Syntor radio setup in it... Might be worth a couple hundred. They were about $2K in the nineties.
I always thought you pushed the B/C pillars in to help it crumple in that spot. If you didn't it would be more difficult on the crusher.
Directing the flow of the collapse is a good reason, too.
FOR THE ALGORITHM! ✊
Everyone makes a mistake once in a while don't sweat it you are only human 😂😂😅😅
I was thinking he should crush it on it's side, and BANG you did! THAT WAS FUN !!!
Love how when u flipped it over and then put it back on its sides it made it look back to its normal form 😂😳
Awesome job
That bumpside ford truck looks decent in the brush atleast the cab and part of the bed
Awww man… I wish I had known you had that old dodge van, I needed the window and the front headlamps and marker assemblies.
That van would have been a great collaboration with Demolition Ranch.
You shouldn't have crushed it, that would have made an awesome van for camping.
It will crush! I’ve seen old battle tanks get a bit flattened.😂😅👍that armored van was a joke wasn’t it? So funny, the drivers window went like a coffee cup!
Lil Wayne and bowed out is a perfect example as to why you have to hold the doors when crushing.
Congratulation for an awesome video!
This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻. Enjoyed the different angle views.
That was great Salis lots of cruhsing cars and that van oh greatdid not think it would crush.
No you just like to break the windows !!! LoL 😅
Turtle trying to make an escape right over your shoulder at 0:21
What happens to the vehicles after this? Do they go right into the furnace and get melted down? I enjoyed the video.
I really like how you put the armour vehicle on its side to crush it
Surprised they wouldn’t refurbish that van, the armor mods are more expensive than the moving parts. Do you ever sell this stuff to people out of state?
The side hatch was for window collection in a fast food drive thru. When I was in highschool and working at McDonald's, these type of vans would go through the drive thru and the store manager would pass over the deposit into a chute that came out of that small door. I have seen them at other fastfood places too.
I cannot believe you didn't keep the gun racks the glass and other cool stuff off that van. But I guess you never have time 😂
No Big deal on the camera snafu. Still really exciting!
That was the perfect place for that HHR, in the crusher. Too bad did t have a PT Cruiser to put on top of it lol
Awesome video. The Armoured van was interesting
Watching how some crush flatter than a pancake yet others not so gives hints what to go for in the beater car market!
Would have liked to seen some test firing of some big guns like a .44 Magnum on the bullet resistant glass before the armored van was crushed.
I drove an armored truck before. I’m surprised how well it crushed.
I can't believe how interesting your videos are or at least to me I truly enjoy watching your videos
Congrats on 80K subs!
I got an interesting idea Silas: When you get to your other yard, you should play a game where you take all the clean title cars or cars for "Parts Only" and put them up for sale for a week or so. On the last day, it's "half price day" or "one-hour half price flash sale"! If they're not gone by a week, it's game over! I'm curious to see what'll sell and what'll not!
pressure of door being pressed in keeps from popping out and catching highway speed wind ,cool videobi love seeing imports smash u should called demolition ranch to shot up van with 50 cals
The windows alone are worth what you scrapped it for! 😮
Wouldn’t mind seeing that truck to go right through one of those cars at speed with the two prongs lol
When the car crusher doesnt expect it to be FORD tough
I live on the Alabama Tennessee line and I've been to that flea market hundreds of times. It's a great place for 🚘 stuff and unique auto stuff
Also,great video, I love watching everything you do!
Wow brother, that was awesome!!!!. I am still interested in that old Ford tool you found in the trunk of that old Car if you are wanting to sell it.
I'm very surprised some gun range. Wouldn't want like an armor vehicle to target practice seems like it would be a cool event. Also I think it would be something cool you would see on demolition ranch.
What fun crushing vehicles.
