@@TheQuestionableGarage I know several people who have ran themselves over unloading and/or jacking a car up.....unfortunately they have procreated..... yeah future America 🙄
Yeah it's dangerous once they get some momentum going for sure - I tried to stop an XJ6 from rolling down a fairly shallow incline once, and even 110kg of me couldn't make it slow down much - fortunately I only just got out of the way before it crashed into a brick wall or I'd have been pretty messed up. Learned my lesson anyway, let the vehicle go, you can fix it and whatever ends up stopping it later.
As a former tow trucker driver, I would suggest that if you are going to roll cars off a trailer, roll back until rears are on the pavement, stick chalks under the tires, then drive out from underneath it. Much safer that way. Or add a winch to your trailer.
You know it's bad when your own Video Editor stops what he's doing, sets up a camera, and films a "Kids, don't do this at home" PSA and puts it in your video....... And he is not wrong. NEVER do that.... Never.

Thank you editor for being the voice of reason. As for the cars, the sad part is the easiest fix would be to put the movie car engine in the real old cop car and be finished in an afternoon.
If they're anything like the 5.7 hemi's that were fitted to the Chrysler 300's here in Australia, it's probably dropped a valve seat or 2 and destroyed the head/s and bottom end in the process....I worked for a shop that specialised in Chrysler's, mainly 300's and this was a common problem, especially if the motor was given a hard time or got hot. Look forward to seeing this build come together, keep up the great work mate.
Interesting mate .From Canada I have had 3 Dodge Ram 15000 5.7 Hemi's .. All ECO I have lost the Top end in 2 ,, So I bought another one. Firsts One went to 490,000Kms Second went to 465,00Kms/ So the third my goal is 500,000Kms.. Can't ask for more from a Work Horse .. Change oil and don't over Idle the 5.7 Hemi's,, It is the ECO that causes wear on the lifters on the delete cylinders.Both cranks sere like new. Without the ECO could have who knows how far they go
I think the best one that comes to mind for me, my boss at the time was driving a customers car and ran it out of fuel, this also happened to be a Sunday and on a 40 degree C day. He left to get a jerry can, came back, put the fuel in and in that time there was enough heat soak through the motor it let go of valve seat, he fired it up and bang, bang, bang, lol. Listening to him trying to explain this to the customer and supposed good mate was priceless...😁 He span a heap of BS, tried throwing me under the bus in the process and dragged the job out for months, the car only came in for some minor work...I was asked point blank what happened by the customer, who I actually got along with quite well and I told him. The last thing I heard was this customer was gonna take him to the cleaners and rightfully so...forgot to mention, this customer just so happened to also be a Sergeant in the Victorian Police.
Do the 300S run the Pentistar 3.6L V6 in Australia? If so, are there any bolt-on performance parts you’d recommend? Not a lot of stuff here for it. I know Australian car folk aren’t exactly displacement specific, y’all will tune anything, had to ask. If I had the internet back in 1996 like we have today, I would have kept my 1966 Belvedere II (Plymouth Satellite “luxury” spec) and ordered a bunch of performance parts for the leaning tower of power inline 6 it had. Hearing those old in-line 6 engines tuned and massaged sounds like a cross between a Hemi V8 and a 2JZ, such a cool sound
Hey mate, yeah they do. As for performance stuff...there were a couple of companies playing around with basic tunes, exhaust, cold air stuff, nothing I could recommend with any confidence as we never had anyone come in for anything like that on the gasoline 6's. It was mainly the v8's and believe it or not, the diesel/turbo 6 variant. Alot of performance/styling oriented stuff was coming outta the UK, if memory serves me right.
Got this idea from another comment, but throwing it out there. Take the motor from the movie car and install it in the blue car and just drop the whole sup frame when you know for sure everything works
Thank you Dwayne the Editor. I cringed both times seeing Jared standing BEHIND the car as he rolled it off the trailer himself. That is a very dangerous thing to do, and Jared deserved to be scolded for doing it XD
I'm 6'3" 275 and there is no way Id trust myself to unload a car the way Jared did. Id trip, fall and get myself ran over as sure as shit. Be safe Jared. From one diy guy to another, Id prefer to continue watching videos that don't involve you wrenching from a hospital bed or wheelchair!
I mean, just a couple of years ago, five houses from my places a guy got trapped under his car and got stuck there with injuries for ~10 hours until someone passed by. He had both pissed and defecated himself in the shock. Don't be that guy who stands behind the car when it's unloaded.
I'm truly hoping that Jared's seemingly extensive knowledge of the interior workings of police vehicles is due to his many years of working ON them and not as a frequent "Backseat Passenger" 😉
I’m glad you mentioned about the unloading off the trailer I wince every time he does that. Please don’t do it anymore because you will end up getting hurt or at least put some wood down or chocks so it can’t roll past a certain point and crush you. Stay safe J man
Once it gets rolling it will go over anything that short. Anything tall enough to stop it would hit the bumper and cause you to fall or get pinned anyway.
“If you’re project car requires you to buy a project car, you’re doing it right”. lol. Last time that happened to me I ended up spending way too much money and in the end I had two pos cars instead of one. I wish you luck good sir! lol.
It's got a cop motor- a 345 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's the model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Wrenchmobile or what?
You might want to check to see if the rear diff in the cop car is a suregrip or not, I'm betting the V6 diff isn't, and a V8 one wheel peel is no bueno especially if you're doing all that work anyway
@Duane - I thought if I needed to unload car by myself (esp. if it's a Charger), the absolute best option would be to simply call Jared. Just kidding. But I do hope Jared does find another safer way to unload the cars very soon. :-S
Could have scrapped all the engine wiring in that thing and put a Holley or Haltech in there but hey, we are about making questionable choices in this channel. Hope that turns the roadblock into something that isn't a roadblock
I just realized: in the movies they always put Troopers across roadways as a "Road bBlock" and then crash other cars into them. Would not need a running "Road Block" car for that ;-)
could probably be a locked up starter put marvel mystery oil in the engine and leave it over night to see if that changes anything great content by the way
My Ford ex cop car also has a lot of fun electrical hookups. I've connected several fun accessories to it like silly lights I'd like to use at car shows and a HAM radio as well as wig-wag for the factory lights

15:54 it rotates because you're sitting a DaimlerAG product the gl450 does the same movement rotational columshift 15:54 junkyard dave can help you with wiring
Next time you should have the trailer more outside the shop when you unload cars, just to give you more room to back up, and for it to roll. So your don't get pinned to the wall or your tool boxes
They use red lights onboard ship interiors at night, because it helps preserve night vision. Cop cars might do the same thing with that red dome light. But I like the Red Light District reference, which was based on railroad guys letting their buddies know where the party was. The railroaders often found themselves in strange towns overnight, looking for a place to eat and sleep. Because they were cheaper than inns and hotels, they usually looked for an obliging lady who had a room with a bed to let for the night. Sometimes, along with the bed, meals, beverages, music, and other comfort services were offered. Often these were single or widowed ladies with limited resources who found themselves living in the same poor neighborhoods and districts. When there were several such ladies offering their services in the same area, railroad lamps lit red in the front windows of homes and apartments up and down the streets, and they came to be known as Red Light Districts.
I know we'll find out in the next video if the engine is really locked up, but could it be the anti theft pressure switch that most police cars have so not just anyone can jump in and start them?
The cool door locking/unlcoking is not the case on my 2011 Ford interceptor. The upfitter just pulled out all the inner workings of the rear doors so you can only lock/unlock them with power locks, and the door handles appear operational inside but only work from the outside. TI have tried going to a junkyard for donor door parts but decided it would be too hard for me to fix
Back your trailer up to a tree or something solid you can hook a chain/rope to. Hook the chain/rope to the tree and then to the vehicle you are taking off the trailer with as little slack in the chain/rope as possible. Put the vehicle on the trailer in neutral, get in your truck and slowly pull forward and the chain/rope will keep the vehicle on the trailer in place while you are pulling the trailer out from underneath of it. I backed up a slight hill to a tree so the chain held the truck in place after it was off the trailer. Safest way I could think of when I had to unload my truck by myself.
Jared heads up that the crank trigger is different between the eagle and pre eagle engines so the engine likely won't fire using the '06 engine software. 👍
I am so so excited to see You Frankenstein both these cars together to make one work I fucking absolutely love these generation chargers It’s so hard to find one in good condition especially one running
I vote no cookies for Jared for a week for repeated unsafe unloading, and not actually crashing into something when doing so. It’s completely unacceptable that it’s so anticlimactic. (Mostly unharmed crashing)
You keep saying parts are unobtanium but have you ever tried actually going to a junkyard and getting them? A 30 second search showed me 7 2008 Chargers with full parts availability at my local yards. There were 466k first gen Chargers built....junkyards are littered with em so im calling shenangins on your claim of not finding parts.
Bought my 07 Charger RT the same way motor was blown. Put a motor in with some bolt ons. Blew the trans…. got that built been running free for a couple years.. Great cars when they run!
Unstuck a lot of motors that sat for decades.A little Marvel mystery oil in the cylinders from the plug holes usually gets it. My homemade penetrating oil (nothing but ATF and acetone mixed 50/50) needs a few days to work its way in but it never fails.
Honestly? I would just go for broke. Go full rally car. Put some yellow service lights on it, change the "Police" to a wrench every day. Hrm.... cheap challenger AWD idea build. Perhaps Freddie owes you to come visit and build a buggy challenger.
Maybe a bad TIPM on the blue one. Now, it has a UConnect 130 radio, which is Bluetooth capable, has SiriusXM, pretty decently featured radio, especially for a police model, from that era.
Hi, I thought I would share a little movie trivia. The final scene of the movie was filmed in Mendocino County, and the finish of the race was at the Point Cabrillo Light Station. The movie did do the county justice, it really is that pretty, and the Light House a Ca State Park. Funny, the last time I was there they did not mention Need for Speed. Must be an over site. If you want to visit it's about 100 miles north of San Francisco, and well worth the trip.
I’d pop the plugs out dump trans fluid down the cylinders and it’s probably the water pump locked up and starter might be junk aswell or any pulleys take belt off and try to spin it over if it moves freely got to each rollerpulley until you find a seized the thing won’t spin over if the pulley is not moving could be alternator aswell be a decent second car to build can get a harness from a ram 5.7
I believe with the pursuit packaged cars there are larger brakes too. It’s been a couple of years since I looked into one of those. I’m excited for project “Barricade” oops I mean “Roadblock”
*well now you can buy a wrecked in the side one from Copart nd get both of these going again. This new one being an ACTUAL pursuit vehicle is going to have MUCH different perameters set in the computer for performance. All you need for your movie cop car is the wiring harness and the computer out of any old charger. Also the cop car could just be locked up from sitting. A little bit of marvels mystery oil in the cylinders and let it sit a few days and you may be able to crank the thing right up. if not you can always follow John Ross and get a decent engine sent to you from his favorite cheap salvage yard J&J auto wrecking. i'm sure they have one that runs and they'll send you everything*
Ok so I went and watched Need for Speed between the last video and this one. It honestly wasn't bad. Not great but I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to it.
Rock Auto may have new old stock for the car. Vinegar in the cylinders should free them up followed up by atf and kerosene to re lube the walls and burn off the gunk. I've used this trick to get vehicles that haven't run for 20 plus years with sized engines to turn over as long as it didn't throw a rod.
only Jared can unload cars by himself bc he's an absolute unit
freakish diesel strength!
Jared is the human version of a detroit diesel lmao

The movie did do the county justice, it really is that pretty, and the Light House a Ca State Park. Funny, the last time I was there they did not mention Need for Speed. Must be an over site. If you want to visit it's about 100 miles north of San Francisco, and well worth the trip.
I’d pop the plugs out dump trans fluid down the cylinders and it’s probably the water pump locked up and starter might be junk aswell or any pulleys take belt off and try to spin it over if it moves freely got to each rollerpulley until you find a seized the thing won’t spin over if the pulley is not moving could be alternator aswell be a decent second car to build can get a harness from a ram 5.7
I believe with the pursuit packaged cars there are larger brakes too. It’s been a couple of years since I looked into one of those. I’m excited for project “Barricade” oops I mean “Roadblock”
Should do a breakdown on that ceased egine...always cool to see what happened..what went wrong...
Please....
Jared I hope you put the chrome center caps on your "Roadblock" charger.
This project is just a bottomless pit of problems and despair
Damnit Jared. That's twice you've risked your life, and your editor had to call you out. Stop it. If you have no one available, ask the internet.
I will take those trunk struts if they are any good. Could use a replacement for my 300.
Scania trucks use that red interior light as well.
*well now you can buy a wrecked in the side one from Copart nd get both of these going again. This new one being an ACTUAL pursuit vehicle is going to have MUCH different perameters set in the computer for performance. All you need for your movie cop car is the wiring harness and the computer out of any old charger. Also the cop car could just be locked up from sitting. A little bit of marvels mystery oil in the cylinders and let it sit a few days and you may be able to crank the thing right up. if not you can always follow John Ross and get a decent engine sent to you from his favorite cheap salvage yard J&J auto wrecking. i'm sure they have one that runs and they'll send you everything*
You should use the column shift in the movie car. Make it a better replica than it was in the movie
you could have done holley EFI with a transmission controller
Jared's living in the future working on his 0-10 charger.
Jared... how is the frame of the blue one?? if it's good...the rails are untouched... won't you consider use it so you you'd have the better one?
Thank you Duane for beating the RUclips comment safety experts to the punch
Hope it at least has an uncut shifter cable. 🤣🤣
Ok so I went and watched Need for Speed between the last video and this one. It honestly wasn't bad. Not great but I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to it.
If you are parting out the blown 5.7, I need those valve covers and intake!! Hit me up
I have literally never seen a Used Battery brand used battery before, so that's especially neat.
Lucky score. Fingers crossed that's all the parts you need. Look forward to following your project
Rock Auto may have new old stock for the car. Vinegar in the cylinders should free them up followed up by atf and kerosene to re lube the walls and burn off the gunk. I've used this trick to get vehicles that haven't run for 20 plus years with sized engines to turn over as long as it didn't throw a rod.
Keep Charging on
