A Jeep build would help this channel blow up so much, there are so many people who love jeeps. But it, rebuild it, upgrade it and keep it. You’ll love it
I don’t know what you do to make it so that you get mostly Saint Jude commercials but I’m very happy that your channel is spreading the word for worthy cause 👍
Pulled many Pillars out. The infinity is a easy one. Sectioning is also easy. Both ways are safe pending the person doing the repairs knows there job. Buy a couple doors and send it.
The Jeeps damage is probably the body bolt mounts on the body bent, not the frame ..IMHO.. if the bolts are angled but the frame is flat .. think of the point of leverage of a side body hit.. the body moves and the frame doesn't bolts sticking out 6" are a leverage point.. mounts on the body get bent and bolts point towards the direction of the hit.
With that Jeep Wrangler, I have a feeling the repair facility began repairs before receiving authorization from the insurance company and so stopped as soon as insurance said no. OR they gave a visual inspection, said it was repairable and then along the way, found out it wasn't. 🤷🏽♂️
The Infiniti B piller can be repaired by pulling it just need to grind down to bare metal and use a stud gun and slide hammer to pull it then do finishing work body filler prime paint done. Easy job to do
The Infiniti EX35 is a crossover/wagon based on the Infiniti G35/37 and shares a lot of parts with the Nissan Z platform. It may be a crossover mom car, but they are extremely fun and pretty quick with a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds. I almost bought one, but ended up getting a great deal on a G37x sedan.
Nothing wrong with the 4.0 V6 in the mustang with a stick. Has virtually the same specs as the early 90s 5.0 and has more than enough go (with the stick).
Randy, good eye on the frame of the Jeep. I think Mike's opinion would be interesting. Definite good frame straightener would be needed. RX8 would be a nice project for your channel. Repair or get a different motor. Larson makes a very good boat. Model would mean it's a 22.8' long. Buyer should get a used trailer for it. I wouldn't mess with trying to repair its trailer
Seeing that boat reminded me of the time my mom was driving down the highway in her tahoe when a guy towing a boat side swiped her. The boat he was towing hit the tahoe while he was trying to force himself into the lane. There had been other vehicles on all sides so there was nothing she could have done. He was found at fault of couse.
Randy I know you said that Cadillac is out of your price range, but yeah I can see why you like it definitely would suit you. I know you typically don't do body work, but this is something I think you can handle along with your favorite Maaco paint job, be great to see a bit of ez body work on the channel.
Randy it doesn't take damage to the rails to be considered frame damage. Damage to any structural component is considered frame/structural damage. That B pillar on the Jeep is the issue.
Sorry Randy rotors engines is the most reliable I own 83 RX7 no issues just need to keep your eye on the oil level. I’ve owned 9 rotary s in my life time. Great channel brother keep strong.
The key to ROtary is mix oil in the gas like a weed whacker.. but that is not recommended by mazda .. so no one does it... unless they know rotary's... and also dont drive it like you stole it ALL the time.. but they love to rev.. Had a RX7 its was great
I used to have the same RX8 in that colour scheme.. looked like michael Jackson left his thriller costume in it Haha.. mine was a 6 speed manual which was the high output 231. If you see a 5 speed it's the lower powered one. 👍
Randy, I did a damaged frame swap on my 2013 and found that even with the new frame, the mounts were not straight due to a few of the bolts were bent and also a couple of the mounts were bent so I wouldn't say that the frame is necessarily bent. I bought this truck at Copart inspired by your channel without knowing the extent of the damage until I got it home and found that the frame could not be straightened. Inspired by some of your channel content working in your driveway and not being able to fit the truck in my garage, I decided to swap the frame in my driveway. I also thought that folks might be able to get some value from recording the project and I started my own TH-cam Channel "Easy Simple Mechanic". I can relate to so many things that you do on your channel so keep up the good work and if you don't find it too intrusive, please give my channel a shout out. I am not monetized yet and as you know, keeping this kind of work up is not cheap. BTW, I work on houses as well so I appreciate you sharing that content as well. Enjoy.... Let me know if you are ever in my neck of the woods in West Texas.
I like electric cars myself, but I prefer hearing the exhaust etc. That being said, people who want to drive electric cars deserve to have fun cars available to them. There's plenty of room in the car community for everyone I say
that 8 is a great platform....it's just got that subpar renesis rotary in it....If i could afford it...i would yank that stock renesis engine out....replace it with a 13B REW that came out of the third gen rx7...and be done with it...it's alot of work due to the engine being so far back and up under the windshield cowling, and having to rewire for the ecu....but worth it in the long run.....the stock renesis was never meant to be ran hard and redlined like other rotaries....It was made for grandma driving....which oddly enough does just as much damage as running it hard n fast.
Glad there was power but not for long, I'd its warm still outside the A.C. will be on to keep the electronics cool so it wont be damaged, once the battery goes dead then possible expensive paper weight.
For the jeep, It looks like the body itself is tweaked, not the frame. I guess whatever hit it pushed the body over on the frame and bent those mounts, Not the mounts on the frame itself
The B pillar cannbe pulled but as my opinion i will not do that because it weakens grestly and if it was ever in another side impact the damage would be more severe and possibly injure a person even worse
Why do you always replace the crash bar or say it needs to be replaced if it's still in tact with minor bends or small imperfections? Just wondering, because on 90% of the cars you say the crash bar would habe to be replaced they have minimal bends. Totally useable and would be un seen/noticed once ya throw on the bumper cover lol
The 3rd Best Nikka Shop in your area Agree. Often they give a quote to get the job then up it once they start the job. Had that done to one of my cars before. They lost on that one because the adjustment check came to my house and I tore it up after insurance called me about it and I explained the situation.
Maybe after you get your shop set up you can look at getting a Frame machine or get a Vechicle one flood damage again . Then get a wreak one for parts as you did with the Dart if the Price is Right . I pour a slab or pave a area to store or due smaller repair on . Evey thing COST $$ I been thinking of adding a pad or two at my house then a Lift help so MUCH .
Hello randy. I think youre missing something about the damage on these cars. These cars come from certafide shops. These shops will not fix or straigyhten anything. they only replace and paint as nesasary with oem parts only. my truck had bent frame horn. eazy fix. But because they are certified. they replaced the frame with anew one. they told that is the way the insuranse company insist on it being done. by the way you dont start a tesla
The Jeep looks like the tub is bent and not the frame it's less likely to bend all them mounts before the tub floor it's thin sheet metal that would flex with the side impact . I think it's still repairable if you lift the body and square up everything and you can do the two inch body mount lift while you're there . This has always been a thing with Jeeps as they get older these sections of the frame rot off and have to weld in new ones so it's not that big of a deal but the insurance companies have to replace the whole frame parts and labor with paint and body is probably 25k or more so it gets totaled by them . What is the asking price ? If it cheap you could probably put this back together for 4-6 grand if you can do the work yourself .
Insurance couldn't have it repaired to pre accident condition. If you got underneath and took measurements the frame could be bent. You can see the body sticking out on opposite side of hit by an inch so so.
Randy think about it this way what car have you ever known that can be fixed and made better from a free download? The car keeps getting better with software. If I had a house with a garage I would love to have one, but it is no longer in my price range. If I could afford it I would wait until they have 5g added to the car then that car will be an entirely different animal. One complaint they do not have apple car play in it but that could be done thru a software update I could be done thru a software update suppose
hey Randy, leave the truck farther away from where you are filming or shut it off. it really hurts the sound quality. just saying because I look forward to to these videos
A Jeep build would help this channel blow up so much, there are so many people who love jeeps. But it, rebuild it, upgrade it and keep it. You’ll love it
I don’t know what you do to make it so that you get mostly Saint Jude commercials but I’m very happy that your channel is spreading the word for worthy cause 👍
Pulled many Pillars out. The infinity is a easy one. Sectioning is also easy. Both ways are safe pending the person doing the repairs knows there job. Buy a couple doors and send it.
Randy, you would look good in the white Cadillac!
The tesla is always on, just press the break, put it in gear and go
No. When you get in the car, you press the brake to turn it on.
Both of y'all are correct.
yet it still requires a key that was not detected in the vehicle.
@DrScopeify The Model 3 also comes with a key, it's like a credit card, you can also put that on a spot on the center console for starting it.
Those 6.2s are nuts
The way randy discribed electric motor whistle 😂😂
You were right next to a Harley Davidson pick up, I wish you could have shown it.
I hope Randy takes a look at it be sweet if it's got the 6.2 liter
The Cadillac would be badass for the channel Randy for sure one hell of a nice road trip vehicle
THANK YOU RANDY for another great Copart Walk Around. Gets my day started on the right foot!
Wow to GM still using those hood mechanisms on the Escalade
Great video and cars. Not into boats, but no hate there. Kudos to you Randy.
Randy, from what I can see. The frame
Looks “bananaed “
Cheers
The Jeeps damage is probably the body bolt mounts on the body bent, not the frame ..IMHO.. if the bolts are angled but the frame is flat .. think of the point of leverage of a side body hit.. the body moves and the frame doesn't bolts sticking out 6" are a leverage point.. mounts on the body get bent and bolts point towards the direction of the hit.
Looks like the Larsen slid about 4 feet forward on the trailer!
Stay cool stay blessed Randy!Keep them coming!Love the content.
The man is back.!!!
That escalade is soooo beautiful!
With that Jeep Wrangler, I have a feeling the repair facility began repairs before receiving authorization from the insurance company and so stopped as soon as insurance said no. OR they gave a visual inspection, said it was repairable and then along the way, found out it wasn't. 🤷🏽♂️
This walk around was interesting,thanks Randy.
The Infiniti B piller can be repaired by pulling it just need to grind down to bare metal and use a stud gun and slide hammer to pull it then do finishing work body filler prime paint done. Easy job to do
Yes! A new Walk Around!!!
Randy needs to make shirts that say "sniff test"
nice content Randy you keep it interesting.
Possiability the entire body moved to passanger side even by 1 inch.
Agreed. The Jeep was t-boned and it pushed the whole body.
I was loving that mustang till the rear quarter and that it is a V6.
Not that bad you can get a quarter at the junkyard the problem is finding one without damage or rust at least where I live
Great upload. Can't wait for the next one! You need a Peterbilt like Westin on here! LOL!!!
Hey Randy! Replace the B pillar. It’s best that way and comes out neat and strong. 👍
Jeep is a ez fix if the frame is bent just unbend it body might be tweaked to the passenger side or re do the frame . Ive done a bunch of jeeps
Shawn Dufresne looks like the cab bolts got bent over so it might not be that bad
The Infiniti EX35 is a crossover/wagon based on the Infiniti G35/37 and shares a lot of parts with the Nissan Z platform. It may be a crossover mom car, but they are extremely fun and pretty quick with a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds. I almost bought one, but ended up getting a great deal on a G37x sedan.
I wouldn't miss a copart walk around
You better not
Rx8's come from the factory with mechanical damage
10/10 engine design
The body got shifted to the passenger side most likely bending the body mounts and bolts.
Nothing wrong with the 4.0 V6 in the mustang with a stick. Has virtually the same specs as the early 90s 5.0 and has more than enough go (with the stick).

Excellent video good content I just sent 4 to Copart today.....

Sorry Randy rotors engines is the most reliable I own 83 RX7 no issues just need to keep your eye on the oil level. I’ve owned 9 rotary s in my life time. Great channel brother keep strong.
i own a cc , just put a dual mass flywheel, clutch and centre bearing in it, £750, they are nice when they work
Can’t wait to see that boat in a future episode
Thank you very much Eli for being a big help to the channel altogether 😁🤘
The key to ROtary is mix oil in the gas like a weed whacker.. but that is not recommended by mazda .. so no one does it... unless they know rotary's... and also dont drive it like you stole it ALL the time.. but they love to rev.. Had a RX7 its was great
Great Video Randy I Really Enjoyed it..
I like the sub lot days.
I used to have the same RX8 in that colour scheme.. looked like michael Jackson left his thriller costume in it Haha.. mine was a 6 speed manual which was the high output 231. If you see a 5 speed it's the lower powered one. 👍
Hi randy jeep has no frame damage.it door center pillar.
Might have damage.
Your truck looks good and sounds great.
That Escalade got them "peanut butter guts",lol
Great vid Randy but, do not ever compare a Nissan/Infinity to a chevy.... ever!! Lol!
I suggest a 90s or early 2000's JEEP Wrangler...Great Video Randy!!
Grind the B pillar back to bare metal on the Nissan and use a spot weld puller then paint then swop out the bent panels.
I had a 93 Mustang convertible with the 2.3 4 cylinder
Definitely need to grab that rx8!!
The Caddy frame is kinked beside the suspension mount on the right hand side. Check your video.....
I love your videos Randy xx
if you have the key you just hit the "gas pedal"

The brake works as the ignition you press the break in the car starts
I like electric cars myself, but I prefer hearing the exhaust etc. That being said, people who want to drive electric cars deserve to have fun cars available to them. There's plenty of room in the car community for everyone I say
The Jeep needs some loving by Vehcor...would be a weekends work for his talents!!
The Cadillac is hot 🔥
that 8 is a great platform....it's just got that subpar renesis rotary in it....If i could afford it...i would yank that stock renesis engine out....replace it with a 13B REW that came out of the third gen rx7...and be done with it...it's alot of work due to the engine being so far back and up under the windshield cowling, and having to rewire for the ecu....but worth it in the long run.....the stock renesis was never meant to be ran hard and redlined like other rotaries....It was made for grandma driving....which oddly enough does just as much damage as running it hard n fast.
I want to see that Lexus LS460 behind the CC
Glad there was power but not for long, I'd its warm still outside the A.C. will be on to keep the electronics cool so it wont be damaged, once the battery goes dead then possible expensive paper weight.

Jeep rebuild? Is that what made goonquad blow up? 😁👍
Theater Scion XB at 26:59 looks to be in good shape. I wonder why it’s at Copart
On the Jeep I bet the money ran out. Why would someone start something and not finish.
Probably realized how bad those cars really are and stopped all the extra labor
Probably. Once the bodyshop started working on it, found more problems and insurance company told them to just stop.
The 3rd Best Nikka Shop in your area Agree. Often they give a quote to get the job then up it once they start the job. Had that done to one of my cars before.

Evey thing COST $$ I been thinking of adding a pad or two at my house then a Lift help so MUCH .
From what I have heard if you had the key and got into the car in the driver seat it would start on it own when you sat down.
that yellow mustang reminds my of the 09 convertible gt i got off copart with an amazing 60k miles only
A Tesla would be great for the channel
I was far as pulling out any structural member or safety feature once the metal stretched it’s never the same ever again
Hello randy. I think youre missing something about the damage on these cars. These cars come from certafide shops. These shops will not fix or straigyhten anything. they only replace and paint as nesasary with oem parts only. my truck had bent frame horn. eazy fix. But because they are certified. they replaced the frame with anew one. they told that is the way the insuranse company insist on it being done. by the way you dont start a tesla
Respect
That Infiniti is basically a Nissan Murano
Randy you put you foot on the Break and it turns on the Tesla
Do a rebuild on a 06 Pontiac Grand Prix 😁

Looks like warmer. 👍
I wouldn't "fix" a B or A pillar, it would never be as structurally strong as new...
I'm actually one of those people who prefers to see only cars not tractors or boats :(
Well we don’t care we want to see all
Kinda like that Mustang
Randy ... Bring a tahoe back to the channel. Be great
Always enjoy watching your videos. Next time you bid and win a vehicle could you film it so we can see....
Liked the plate :)
Randy think about it this way what car have you ever known that can be fixed and made better from a free download? The car keeps getting better with software.

On the Jeep the top of the frame rail Driver side is definitely bowed On the top of the frame if you look you can see it
You need to carry a messure tape for cars like this Jeep :D
hey Randy, leave the truck farther away from where you are filming or shut it off. it really hurts the sound quality. just saying because I look forward to to these videos
I want one of the Tesla with the rear facing seats
Nice
My mustang v6 had SLP exhaust and sounded like a v8 when reved up. But ur right not a GT V8 love
looks like the vehicle pulling the boat was in an accident and the boat traveled forward on the trailer.
The Jeep body has been floor and cab pushed across the frame like a banana.
