Every vehicle I or my dad has bought on copart has ended up being more time and money to fix than expected. Either having to replace all the suspension and brakes along with body repairs or doing unexpected mechanical repairs. I bought a 335ix that had such bad underbody damage I ended up parting out out and buying a 335ix with a blown engine to fix instead.
Get rid of the seatbelt warning steps for ford...... lock the doors, apply emergency brake, no seatbelt plugged in, engine off, ignition on, after one minute the seatbelt light will turn off. Plug a seatbelt into and out of the seatbelt socket 3 times. On the fourth plug in the seatbelt light will flash. Remove the seatbelt, turn off the ignition and restart. You never need to hear that chime again (off road use only lol).
Hell yeah! This is gonna be sick. Throw an intake, tune and exhaust and itll run 12s. I was rockin a Ford Escape with the 2.0 Ecoboost and it pulled off 0-60 in 5.7.. I bet a tuned explorer could do it in the 4s
👎🏻 and then it’ll break because the trans can’t hold. I have a SHO that I’ve thrown too much money at and it’s still slower than a $20k awd Honda build.
If you were close to NC I could stitch seat back together but your way to far lol .but uf you do it make sure when you put new air bag in seat and stitch it make sure to buy breakaway thread so if air bag needs to be deployed again it can without ripping the fabric.
I worked for company called acv auctions and we have to disclose frame damage, etc. if you would have got it through them for example and we didn’t catch the frame damage they cover all prices to fix. Crazy they hide damage like that in the photos
Funny hearing you talk about hitting deer , made me realize that I've had my licence for 34 years . And even though I live in Canada , where it should be more likely , I've never hit anything other than a dog while driving . Dog never damaged car , but getting dog off of my traction bars , that went right through his body wasn't what I would call fun .
Building something with a purpose makes sense like building an overland rig and renting it out. But what if you just want to experiment with a build because it’s different and you think it’s a cool idea and you want to see how it works out. Not everything has to have a specific purpose if the purpose is to just put something together to see how good it is. Like for example I’d like to find an older 280z or an rx7 that doesn’t run and sell what parts I don’t need and find a junkyard aluminum block 4.3 lv3 with vvt and delete the displacement on demand and turbo it and see how it rips. Does it make sense to most people? Probably not but I think it’s cool idea for a engine swap.
I honestly hate when these come in the shop, explaining to the customer how expensive it is to repair their Ford explorer makes me cringe. Had to do turbos on one (not fun) and the poor lady was in tears over the cost. I'd get out as soon as possible and recoup as much coin as possible
Should have bought a hyundai suv and got more options or a audi but this flip didn't work out so win some loose some but sudden buys gets the best of us....
Lol same issue with my 2016 F-150 win it for 13k swapped the frame and the bed total like 22k after parts bed was insanely hard to find ended up buying a damaged one and swapped the skins in my driveway
it probably would have been cheaper if you ordered all the parts when you got the car- Pricing for everything has gone crazy (which you couldn't have expected, but hey now the car is probably worth a ton more anyway for the same reason)
Maverick can tow 4000lbs with the tow package. Explorer can tow 5,000lbs with tow package on either 3.5. I think a truck needs to be able to tow itself on a trailer. Preferably a steel trailer. It needs to do some of the work to keep itself on the road. The Explorer could tug a stocked 22' camper which is reasonable for most people who would use a tow package on an SUV. I don't really like SUV's but if its gotta be an SUV I think the newer Explorer will at least be a safer ride. Than the older Toyota.*
So With The Seat Airbag You’ll Want To Get A New Airbag & Take The Seat Out & Take It To An Upholstery Shop & They’ll Sew It Back Like It Never Happened!!!!
Actually you won’t lose money on the explorer because you’re filming it! Money from this video should get you a nice chunk back if not all,Hopefully it works out that way for ya man..
i love this channel, and dave's... i think it would get more viewers if the builds were more start to finish, but i just love watching trevor and sean interacting tbh
You need to go back to your norm content, watching you rebuild your wife’s car isn’t entertaining man 🤦🏻♂️. Building and painting kool shit is why I subscribed.
I know it sucks spending more for shit, but hey its for jamie, and sometimes its okay to not min max everything. Plus with this thing done we get a potential 4Runner build ("weekend" build on that would be sick) and the rest of the projects can continue
Trevor, let Shawn talk without cutting him off man lol.
Glad Sean is enjoying the hell out of a organized shop
Make sure you use the proper thread when closing up the drivers seat. There is a thread that will rip more easily for the airbag to deploy!
What’s the plan w the ek hatch?

At least you're making some of that back with the content it provides
That 4-runner would make me happy.
That ek hatch tho 🤔
love to see you moving forward! over come your obstacles! glad you stop trying to be like everyone else and just did you own thing again. respect.

Renting it out sounds awesome, bet Jamie will be stoked when her car is finished :)
Can’t wait to see this done!
building the 4runner sounds like a great idea!
Jamie has a great point! Rent out the 4-Runner capable of camping. Another $ source, as long as you keep the destinations to what you allow.
Great job bud keep up the good work, only thing I would check on would be the alignment on the front end.
Jamie deserves it 💪
Put an aftermarket intake on it. They sound sick with that when you punch it only
If you were close to NC I could stitch seat back together but your way to far lol .but uf you do it make sure when you put new air bag in seat and stitch it make sure to buy breakaway thread so if air bag needs to be deployed again it can without ripping the fabric.
Honestly just here waiting on primer videos my guy
Soon for the explorer
@@MotionAutoTv Trevor is known as the primer princess 😉😉🤣👌🏻
Cold air with the VTA BOV mod will make you hear a lot of turbo noises lol, bov mod is easy to do, just TH-cam it
I own a sho fun engines if maintained I hope you did timing and water pump while it was apart
should bolt two more turbos on the roof, it's cool
You locked the kids outside for the video don’t worry I do it all the time 😂👊🏻
Hahaha we have a playroom with sliding doors so they were only partially shut out 😂
Hey at least in a year this thing has basically appreciated.
Did you say that the seatbelts need to be reprogrammed?
I’m so glad I don’t mess with newer vehicles.
Is the 4 runner a limited or sr5?
I worked for company called acv auctions and we have to disclose frame damage, etc. if you would have got it through them for example and we didn’t catch the frame damage they cover all prices to fix. Crazy they hide damage like that in the photos
FORscan is your friend, can help with some features factory may have left turned off.
Front plug on core support possibly a crash sensor?
nevermind lol.
What parts interchange in the 5th gen?
Funny hearing you talk about hitting deer , made me realize that I've had my licence for 34 years . And even though I live in Canada , where it should be more likely , I've never hit anything other than a dog while driving . Dog never damaged car , but getting dog off of my traction bars , that went right through his body wasn't what I would call fun .
Price of parts are killing the deals lately! i've done the same thing! I was thinking I was going to same money.
New drinking game “headlights!” DRINK 🍺!!!
Swipe your foot underneath the rear bumper and the lift gate opens
My 2v on spray lost to one of the old interceptor suvs. He had a liscense plate that just said "mwuhahaha"
You should do a giveaway with the 4runner
If the mustang ecoboost would have the 3.5 ecoboost or even the 2.7, they would be rippers
Hatch in the back? 👀
You better blend the door and hood

So, what happened to the Telluride?
The winner chose the $50k cash option, so the Telluride went back to the dealership
@@jaymiemotionauto9563 ahh. Fair enough.
At least he could give you the BMW dad wagon to drive around.....
What Up with red civic
Use safety restore for your seatbelts and airbag module
That’s who I have used in the past
You guys are doing Great 👍
Your intentions were true, building an vehicle for the family. Sorry it threw you for a loop, congrats on seeing it through.
I honestly hate when these come in the shop, explaining to the customer how expensive it is to repair their Ford explorer makes me cringe. Had to do turbos on one (not fun) and the poor lady was in tears over the cost. I'd get out as soon as possible and recoup as much coin as possible
Did they stop making these v8?
Why does it seem like these eco boost turbos just die early?
All these new gens have 3.5L
Definitely needs roof mount tourbos
Should have bought a hyundai suv and got more options or a audi but this flip didn't work out so win some loose some but sudden buys gets the best of us....
Who's the red civic belong to????
Trevor , please pause occasionally for Sean to speak.
Agreed!!
Thank you so much for hearing my suggestion.
I love Motion Auto.
Hopefully u had oil in the explorer this timd before you drove it.
Lol same issue with my 2016 F-150 win it for 13k swapped the frame and the bed total like 22k after parts bed was insanely hard to find ended up buying a damaged one and swapped the skins in my driveway
Get with the boys at Goonzquad. They send the seat belts and computer to some place in Georgia and re see the seats themselves
Any day on the 4Runner bud
More is300!
Honestly with the way used car prices are especially for SUVs, you are probably not upside down in it.
Not anymore at least maybe a year ago it would have been close
Just want to see a ground up pro build. And Sean’s input on it…. Editing still continuing to improve.
solid!
Make a drag car and take part in drive and drag events please
3:00… 👀?
it probably would have been cheaper if you ordered all the parts when you got the car- Pricing for everything has gone crazy
(which you couldn't have expected, but hey now the car is probably worth a ton more anyway for the same reason)
It can be fast, cheap, or reliable. Can't be all three. Unless it's an LS.
It can tow more than the new Maverick "pickup".
If it’s like the SHO it’s less towing than the NA 3.5 v6
Maverick can tow 4000lbs with the tow package. Explorer can tow 5,000lbs with tow package on either 3.5. I think a truck needs to be able to tow itself on a trailer. Preferably a steel trailer. It needs to do some of the work to keep itself on the road. The Explorer could tug a stocked 22' camper which is reasonable for most people who would use a tow package on an SUV.
I don't really like SUV's but if its gotta be an SUV I think the newer Explorer will at least be a safer ride. Than the older Toyota.*
That platform isn’t great at all. I have a Taurus SHO.
got an ad for a 22 ford explorer 😂😂

Ah shit, got the seated heats man

Downgrade from Toyota to ford! SMH
Yucky Ford. 4 runner is king.
Put an aftermarket intake on it. They sound sick with that when you punch it only
Nice
