Building an ABANDONED Bronco into a DIRT CHEAP Off-road Rig!! 

Coming along nicely, keep up the good work. Glad you're digging the product we sent ya!

The hole punched through the seat for the rollbar is probably my favorite part of this whole thing.

This is exactly why engineers need to work in the field for a couple years! There is a big difference between paper world, and real world!! Love your videos. Love your attitude! Thank you!

When your welder cost 3 times as much as the rig you're working on That just shows what good value the bronco is ;)

Glad to see you are messin with the bronco, honestly, Broncos are pretty awesome, Lookin forward to seeing what you do with this!

I love how they try and keep the camera focused on the Bronco because there’s like 5 other vehicles in the shop being neglected that they don’t want us to see

i work at o reillys and it makes me really happy that you use them primarily. it really builds that feeling like i’m a part of something whenever i don’t feel like working for whatever reason. thanks man!

I knew the roll cage through the seats was coming, and yet I laughed out loud when it happened. Much love from Australia, and thank you for keeping me sane while I study. Hope your studies are going well too!

“What are you doing?” “Oh I’m watching a guy do geometry on the back of a scrap car on the internet, how about you”

If one were to name that truck, I believe "Tetanus" would be appropriate.

"If you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough!" New tshirt I would buy for sure. Get on it guys funniest thing yet!

I didn't know you were a in the military dude! I would like to thank you for your service. You are what makes our country great!

"We're not just neaderthals" _haphazardly smashes pushbars on bumper with mallet_

Going outside your comfort zone doing fabrication is awesome to watch. This channel improves with every video.

I'll never forget learning to bend conduit... gotta love when there's four bends in a ten foot pipe!

When you joint a roll cage in the middle like that its best to over sleeve it with another larger pipe about 18" long. Just for future reference.

Good to see some math I actually recognize. I’m an Industrial Engineering major in my junior year. We use that math quite often. I found the Pythagorean theorm can be a bit slower than using arcsin or arccos so I normally use those. Appreciated you bringing out the good ol’ Texas Instruments. I got one like that.

Found your channel by accident and these long videos give me a great break from studying

Glad to see Eastwood helping you out even if the stuff showed up a little late. I’ve used a few different tools and products and haven’t been disappointed with the quality/price combo. Plus they have a ton of videos to help you use whatever they sell.

most people that do cages will make a 1 foot section of the tube with different angles and they will use this for their measurements

Trig grade: 100 Spatial Relationships grade: 0 first try, then back to The notcher, 100 second try, still a failing grade average of 50.

I guessing the memory of rolling your last Bronco stuck with you while building the roll bar haha

Loved it. You did an incredible amount of work in a short time. I was a mig welder and welding quality control guy for the old Clark Equipment company. You should wear protective stuff when you weld. I saw new welders set themselves (including me) on fire by not protecting themselves. Also the flash from the mig welder is not good for exposed skin. I hope you win.

Hey bud love your videos! I’m a welder fabricator here in Canada. My best advice for bending is always measure from the inside of the bend side it is the side that bends the least and most the time not even a noticeable amount.

21:36 junkyard digs becomes math class digs 🤣🤣👍

Glad to see more of this build! Keep up the good work

So what did you end up doing with this beast once you were finished with the event? Scrap? Love your work, man, I really do. Your videos make me so happy. The whole "JYD Cinematic Universe" is so enjoyable. You, Derek, Thunderhead, Dylan...all y'all.

Can't wait to see it wheeling! Plasma cutters are absolutely essential for working with steel. Love the learning curve and showing the learning process. Not everybody is born knowing everything! Cheers !

His face when he cut the notch the wrong way 😂

Hello jyd. Happy Veterans Day, thank you for your service.

That’s why I left the peoples Republic of New York the western sector back almost 11 years ago. Texas doesn’t snow much once every five or six years, but it’s funny to watch these guys , who have never driven in the snow ,drive in the snow down here.

Junkyard Digs: Friendship ( and reviving old cars) Is Magic. Mook: you don't have any.

You don't have to worry about "body roll" when there is no body. ;)

>$1000 truck challenge >Spends $8,000 on tools

Thankfully you put this video out today. I just got home from my wisdom teeth being removed. I am glad I can see some good cobtebt

Because I admit that I am a "Giant Math Nerd," this is my absolute favorite video that you have produced, Kevin!

It’s simple math, ladies and gentlemen. *gets the Pythagorean Theorem wrong*

*Sets beer down* we gon' do some MATH

This is why skilled trades have apprenticeships 🤣

As I'm scrolling through RU-vid I think to myself wow this might be the first day I actually don't watch a junkyard digs video after weeks of binging this beautiful content then and only then I came across this beauty of a truck so yeah here we are.

That “hmm” when you showed you messed up the first notch on the roll bar has had me crying laughing for the last five minutes. 😂

Dude , if it wasn’t for you and ThunderHead289 I wouldn’t have had the courage to rescue my left for dead Bullnose f250 ! Ps you guys also made me want to vlogg my build 🔥🤘🏻✊🏻 thank you for all the free tech information and entertainment!!! Been a big fan for YEARS ! It would mean so much if you checked out my channel !

It’s great that companies donate their tools to you. What you need now is for someone like Morton Buildings to donate a new and bigger shop!

I graduated in 2000 with a bachelors in electronic engineering and can confirm that the moment you graduate everything you've been cramming into your skull ahead of the final exams just falls right out of your skull. fortunately these days I can look up online all the stuff I don't remember.

Best show on RU-vid

Who's already watched the video of him off roading it? I haveee

I used to work in a pipe fab shop and I got really good at it. Learning the math was a booger but I did it. You did a good job. Love watching your videos I'm glad you are a good teacher and you attempt to teach as well as showing the principles involved in building a safe roll cage.

That first notch got me. That look of defeat! I have definitely been there.

Now this Bronco is perfect for the Gambler 500! Imagine this right next to the Lemans!

Man says “what I would do for a plasma cutter” 30 minutes later... box on doorstep😂😂

this video reminds me why i quit math in high school and never looked back. thank you sir, for reaffirming my life choices

Mad max would be proud Different tire radius will have an effect on speedometer accuracy. It is a relay. A solenoid does both, mechanical work and complete a circuit.

I love how the bars go down and through the back seat 😂😂😂

I can smell the welding even if Im not even there XD

I love that it’s got a whole ecosystem growing on its hood ;)

Can't wait to see ya raise some hell with this thing on the trails.

You must be watching to much Vice Grip Garage, you are starting to pick up his mannerisms.

Note to Mook!!!! Buy as much life insurance for Kevin as you can, I feel he may die with this stunt.

This is the Roadkilliest episode of any show that isn't Roadkill. Bravo!

Good on Eastwood for supporting you.👍

"Really wish i had a plasma cutter" *plasma cutter shows up the next day*

Hey Kevin. My friends and I were exploring an abandoned property and we found a 1969 Mercury cougar!!!!! It's hair sitting under some trees.

I’ve done trig, but never with beer, sounds like a good plan

Junkyard Dig's reaction to notching his first tube... just priceless!

I love that generation Ford trucks and Broncos. I'd love to have that red Datsun.

Thanks for the math. I see you as an engineer now. Keep on truck in'.

Just knew you would get it together Kevin. Have fun with the Bronco

(36:53) Kevin YEETS the floor mount across the room, for a THREE POINTER! scoorrre!!

Just remember a grinder and paint will make the welder you ain’t

Me: I wouldn't dare do those rims without a plasma cutter. "Man, what I would do for a phan plasma cutter..." lol.

Just stumbled on this video and I have the older non digital version of that welder and you made a very good purchase. I have used and abused mine laying down hard facing wire for hours on end ignoring any duty cycle and it still runs like the day I got it. I also have the newer version I bought that is digital and have barely used it since the old one just keeps on plugging away. Love what you guys go keep up the good work!!!

I had a 79 bronco, bought it brand new, we had so much fun in that thing. Took the back top off it every summer. Wish I still had it...

Plasma cutter shows up 30 minutes after you finish cutting the rims: Welcome to the suck!!

I'm here from the future , be sure to bring a spare tire,wheel and jack :)

That Eastwood stuff works like a hot damn! Used their Platinum and Gloss black frame rust protection, and it sticks! Glad to see the Plasma cutter so good!

I have 2 Offroad rigs, 1 has nearly $70k invested and is a beast 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon the other is a fully custom built (my 2 hands fabricated everything) with nearly $10k in a 1999 JEEP Cherokee... nothing is cheap or wonky and none will leave you stranded out on the trail , off roading is NOT cheap, the more time you spend building/fabricating in the shop provides more enjoyment on trails!

“The death Wheel”

First wahoo!!

Love that you are digging into the bronco. How about after next week you restore said bronco?

That panoramic helmet is so cool @Junkyard Digs

Halfway throught he vid, and I'm wondering if there's even a frame for you to weld the cage to o_O

Your “weakest strength”? I’ve never heard it quite worded like that.

I remember cutting all kinds of random things when I got my first plasma, they are a world changer

47:00 i love how you just cut a hole right in the seat for your tube ahahaha

Hey just curious. When are you going to work on the LeMan again. I've watched your videos and always see it sitting off in the corner being used as a table. I wanna see you work more on the LeMan attempt 1

''I just chugged a monster'' apparently

PCV valves work great for a breather for the fuel cell and if you roll it, it automatically stops the fuel from leaking

"the required time of thinking about stuff should be up, and it should come to me as we go" That's pretty much how I live my life hahaha! Loving your channel

I know I’m stupid as hell and I shouldn’t be cheating in school, but as you said that you need trigonometry in everyday life I was copy and pasting an algebra 2 + trig question into brainly😂

I was waiting for this vid

Love how you burnt a hole in the lightbulb with the plasma cutter XD

Even though it was neglected and rusted Broncos are pretty Awesome. You just brought out its awesomeness as a four wheeling machine. Great Job!

I’m sure u can use it for parts 33:56 I thought I found my older self but that died after all this mathematical stuff and my ear is over a bucket draining every thing u just said

I just chugged a monster to

Rilly liked all the information that was in this video and didn't mind the length of the video because learning about how things work is worth the time

I love the way you dont edit out all the extra work like 90 percent of the other vids i have watched its been great to have your video going while i stand doing all the boring sanding and time consuming work on my current build keep doing what you do i am gonna love catching upon your past content while i work on my car thank you

Love the vids brother

We getting 2 vids this week or just 1 first

Engineering students with actual practical knowledge for the win!!!! People think we know how to do everything and in really we just know how to open our mouth lol

Love the Bronco!! Glad to see you bringing it back to life for one last blast. I look forward to seeing how it does. I really hope you don't need that roll bar!! Never put a joint/seam in the main hoop. And if you have to, then you should sleeve it and plug weld the sleeve to both halves before welding the seam to add some more strength. And with as rusty as that body is I would have added some plates from the body to the roll bar just to help hold it all together. A roll bar welded to the frame doesn't do much if the body and seats break away from the frame.
