For those confused in the comments, I had nothing to do with the destruction of this Hummer. Rather we are the ones that came along and saved it from likely getting scrapped. Because of our actions, the Hummer will be getting fixed and returning to service on Off The Ranch's channel!
What can I do with my pitchfork now?
😂😂 🎤🫳
This is an interesting but also kinda interesting change of content but i like it lol.
People shouldn't be upset about one of these hummers being destroyed in a ways that's literally what they were built for. If it was an old square body, I understand.
@@TreySlayPlay23very true
I’ll be honest… I doubted you. But I will NEVER doubt you again!!!
I was confused for a second there. Your tag is still @OffTheRanch and I had to do a double take
Very impressive indeed.
Excited to see you bring it back to life!
honestly hope to see a restoration video of it
Gotta get dalton from pole barn garage in there. He’s an expert on reviving bullet hole vehicles 😂
What shall we call this, the HoleyVee?
Might say he's the goat
They have cars to shoot up ... I'm more upset at Demo ranch
Wasteful big time RUclipsr
Ha ha ha! Yess! I agree 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah where's Dalton? @polebarngarage 🕳️🕳️🕳️🐐😅
Rubbing elbows with coffee guys, podcasters, streamers, guys who drive on the wrong side of the road, a guy who blew up a .50 in his hands, a future congressman...that is some serious networking.
It was a wild time! Probably 200 people there, these are only the ones I recognized
Even THE UNDERTAKER was there
I bet Brandon Herrera wouldn't sanction a perfectly good Hummer be destroyed. 🤣🤣 totally playin. I'm just failing at heckling Junkyard digs🤣👏🙏
@@baseballjustin5 he was?
Gotta watch them coffee guys and who they donate money to👀
One of the things that has impressed me, throughout all your videos, is how you always seem have links to other people's channels in the description of your videos. Always trying to help each other succeed. Now that is a good quality to see lived out in the world today. Well done you👍
The real question is if they accepted the old starter as a core?
ROTFLMMFAO good one.
The look on the guys face when he opens the box on that reman
Probably. That starter wasn't nearly as bad as the worst core alternator I sent back to VW, and they still accepted it! The entire case and stator was literally snapped in half after a bearing failed at 3k engine rpm (that TDI alternator does 2-3x engine speed, so it was doing 6-9k when it let go with a massive bang, like a bursting tire, while flooring it on an onramp). Windings hanging out and everything! I honestly have no idea why they actually gave me the 100€ core charge on that, probably just wanted it as a display piece for their collection of "brokenest parts". Would have loved to see the facial expression of the core returns guy in Wolfsburg when they pulled my "alternator" (or what was left of it) out the box!
I like how you went from fix a 500 dollar camper to a newer h1 hummer😆
I didn't even have to pay for this one!
Fair point!
@@JunkyardDigsdidn't you pay for the starter? 😬
Man that camper was fantastic
Lets all remember junkyard digs gives new life into vehicles that would otherwise be scrapped. The ill get around to it eventually peoples projects that he actually gets around to would otherwise be junk and he didnt shoot this one up but gave it a second chance. Thank you for all the content that you make for us to view it is getting me back to work on my 66 gto again
The fact that thing even cranked over is amazing
Angus is the ONLY PERSON who can pull off wearing a shirt with his own name on it in Comic Sans font
I hate watching youtubers destroy nice things for views but i love watching them fix things for views. Great video!
Agreed. Destroying things just for the sake of destroying them is trashy, to put it lightly, even if it _was_ paid for by a sponsor.
"No such thing as bad publicity" so they do this, people get angry and talk more about them.
@@AgentWest The worst part is that this was an H1 Alpha, the last and best of the H1's.
It was actually decently well built for offroading
@@kingck101 that's what I thought too, didn't look stock. Hope they fix it up fully
@@AgentWestthe sponsor gave it to em to shoot specifically. They kinda had to
Well done boys! You don’t give up easy 😂😂
We had good help!!
I purposely avoided the video of it getting shot up on Matt's channel. I'm so glad you did something with it. This is content I can get behind.
Thank you!!
I found it kind of creepy.
Holy moly felt this comment
Matt thought it was just going to be an old military humvee. I’d put more of the blame on the sponsor than Matt.
@@pabloescobarscar4076 I didn't blame anybody for it. I'm sure lots of people wanted to see it. Just not me.
Any video with Angus in it is always a joy to watch 😄
Kevin, Matty, Angus, & Dr Lee the combo we didn’t know we needed I’m trying to get my kid back to sleep and stifling chuckles the whole time
28:18 “it hated that, it hated that a lot actually” you boys are hilarious 😂😂
i know im gonna catch heat for this, but in my opinion, watching that hummer get shot up like that was the most "wtf!!! why?" moment i've seen in a long time. it looked like a really nice rig.
Agreed. If it's already scrap, that's one thing, but otherwise destroying stuff just for the sake of destroying stuff isn't cool.
I agree. That’s why I can’t stand whistling diesel. Makes me sick seeing people destroy perfectly good stuff that I’ve been dreaming of having my whole life.
Agree 👍
@@tallishyeti2756 same here. Can't stand destruction for views. I unsubbed from Matt's channels after he put a bullet through his Raptor with a 50 cal.
American logic.
Everyones talking about how amazing Kevin is... it wasn't that difficult of a revival. *I'm sitting here wondering how 200 gun youtubers with automatic weapons and high caliber personal artillery managed to miss the entire engine block with what must have been close to 10,000 rounds.* Its like that miracle scene from Pulp Fiction.
Hilarious video guys. I watch Dr. Lee, he's such a wholesome man. I consider that a win!
He's the best!!
Are you trying to go toe to toe with @polebarngarage for most shot up vehicle? 😂 I think he still has you beat.
Oh for sure
Loved seeing Dr Lee out there with yall. Also thanks to our Aussie mates.
What would you do without us?👍
0:01 when you drive through east St. Louis
Over the past few months so many sides of RUclips that I love have been clashing and mending together and it’s been the most amazing thing to see on here
I love and have always loved the way you switch up the basic car content with interesting and just personality fueled videos makes your content 10x better than the constant will it run bs on a old carb motor
My fellow Aussie Matt is a character isn't he love ya work
Those guys were awesome 😂
Awesome to see this collab! I saw you in the video and I wondered how long it would take for you to work on the Hummer.
Pity, that looked like a really good condition and rare vehicle.
Good that it's getting rebuilt.
Yeah, the original H1. Before they became basically a Silverado with a different body.
Of all the youtubers to be there, I did not expect Habitual Linecrosser... but it also makes perfect sense.
He was a great guy! Glad we met
Interesting to see a newer car on the channel. Love the videos
One of the funniest things that I’ve seen from you guys, actually laughed out loud.
Anyway Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Western Australia.
Gotta love Brandon’s dark humor
Two of my favorites RUclipsrs working together…… absolutely amazing!
Kevin, that was honestly very impressive 👏. Just when I thought that I had seen you pull the biggest wreck out of the jaws of the shredder, you come up with another one even more amazing. This gave off some serious "Flight of the Phoenix" (or maybe "Madagascar II" 😂) vibes. Great job, all around, I can't wait for the next video.
Bravo, Kevin. I didn't figure you guys had a snowball's chance. Bravo.
1000 miles back to Iowa?
Can't wait for _that_ video 🤣
Dude, I was laughing so hard on some of your jokes. I love watching your builds, keep it up!
I'm so surprised nobody said the age old "it aint got no gas in it." anywhere in this entire video. Kevin you guys are truly wizards at getting stuff to run, I don't know how that thing still ran, but that's impressive to say the least.
They did. Some guy in the background around the 3 minutes mark
as a Diesel that would be a bad thing
Honestly if it was an H2 or an H3 I could care less but an H1? :(
At least you did something cool with it!
Edit: for it to be running off of ether it has to be running so I'd call that a win
I'm so impressed you got power to it and when Angus turned on the wipers I LOLd. 😆
after watching you guys joke about bringing it back at the end of demo's video, i was really hoping you would try. i'm so glad you did. this was a rare treat to watch you revive a murdered vehicles instead of just a regular dead one.
"it's like looking at Stephen Hawkins and ashing if he will run". Quote of the year!
Kevin's camera work at 3:15 is impressive.
She was a contestant on naked and afraid.
Watching all my favorites influencers have a fun time was awesome.
Love that you got it running!!!
This is probably one of the best episodes I have seen this year. Holy flipping crap this was so epic.
The most important question of this whole episode…. Did they take the old starter back as a core ???
I guess it depends on if they opened the box, lol
I don't know how many times i have come back to watch this episode!
Angus' dad humor was on point for sure😂
Great job getting that running. I loved it.
Excuse me what Kevin!? You are a Midwestern surprise!
As a diesel tech I knew it would 'run' but I was still genuinely surprised when you got it running that quickly. I really thought you would have to redo a lot more wiring and replace that injector module and ecm.
Honestly just the starter was all she needed to hit off ether, but it was fun to try!
@@JunkyardDigs True but i try not use ether on the basis i see too many trucks with grid heaters that aren't marked on the intake or come with them factory. but i still really thought that injector computer would cause more issues than it did. I also really enjoyed seeing another diesel on your channel and really hope you do some more for revivals. though they do require different methods of starting after they sit for awhile. all said and done I really enjoy the videos you make.
Your videos are stories people love to hear from their uncles at family events but nobody is actually sure if they're true 😂 this is why I love your videos!
6:05 got me
I much prefer the older find abandoned fix up. But this as a rare mix up for a different flavor so ok.
Big one coming next week!
Ooh intrigued but no spoilers.
Well you werent kidding.
Somehow I can't help but think that Pole Barn Garage's Dalton would be helpful here, after his experiences with the Holy Goat...
That was a fun vid. Hope we get to see the work you did on your dad's car and the journey to Texas and back.
That was hilariously delightful to watch! Nicely done!
Seeing the amount of people I recognize in this video is insane. Like, the Chieftain standing in the background got me
There's a ton I didn't know 😂
@JunkyardDigs That's fair lol. Just crazy to see 2 communities I enjoy colliding like that
At 1:03 is him loading the magazine for my Japanese 50, all the API going off at the front wheel is from either he or I. I talk about the gun a little bit before that.
That poor engine may have been running on 4 or 5 cylinders, the clatter from the valve train was quite interesting, and most likely the reason why. I love the simplicity of a Diesel engine, but modern engines have been computerized to the point of being just as complicated as gasoline engines. I wouldn't feel as safe in a Hummer now, thanks Kev. 🙂
This reminds me of a scene from Tremors 2. Where Burt shoots a walking graboid with a 50 cal and it literally explodes goes through a building 55 gallon drums........ and the block of the engine in the truck they needed to get away. 🤣
Never seen a video like this one, it’s gonna be sure interesting to watch, loving the videos
The fact it "ran" enough to "idle" is just insane
i have ten thousand jokes for "kevin injection", but i'm choosing the high road for this adventure
Never even considered that😂
you guys should 100% get that thing back on the road it would be a good series to watch
Kevin you seem to be the best master mechanic on YT your knowledge is unmatchable.
17 seconds in and this is already gonna be the sweetest fuckin video to grace youtube this year
Give it to Dalton, from PBG he fixed and drive this thing.😊
OMG the collab I never knew I needed. Could not click fast enough!
Will you still get credit for a core for the starter?
We turned the starter in for a core, the guy looked at, sighed, and said "I'm not even gonna ask"
@@JunkyardDigs Kevin, I would have absolutely loved to have witnessed the expression on the face of the person at the parts counter - It would be classic.
To be honest, I was just a little bit surprised to see that the starter casing on the Hummer was not reinforced like the starter and generator casings were on the WW2 Jeeps were.
NO WAY YALL WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT DOING A REVIVAL ON THIS RIG?!?!?
Oh absolutely
I saw Matt say he was gonna fix it up before I saw this. You guys did all the hard work already, NICE!!!
Loved seeing explore life Matt in the video, never thought your channels would cross
The Poor Hummer…
That should be a crime…
I've been looking forward to this video the moment I saw the range video!
Definitely think they brushed over your "I think this will run."
Our boy Digs can bring ANYTHING back from the Junkyard
Havent watched your videos for awhile bow but this one brought me back
Well thats made my Thursday a whole lot better
I guess you could say it's worth a shot or several 🤣
Anyone else just dumbfounded by the fact they shot up a 3-400k truck for no reason. Hummers are going up in the market and they just fucked themselves lmao that's a $30k rig now
Awesome job. Hope you help in the rebuild.
Heck yea I’ve been waiting for a collab like this
I'm here for the car content and if I were Kevin I also would have jumped at the chance to do this project. That said, yeesh was a group of dorks doing dork things
People commenting dumb stuff before even watching the video 🤦♂even warranted a pinned comment, like c'mon people if your going to feign outrage direct it at the right people at least.
This is an amazing video. Thank you for doing this type of thing.
Just ordered my swag pack lol. Can't wait to get that sick hat. I've known about your channel for a while but just recently about a month ago started watching and I've been watching religiously every single night. Definitely inspired me to do work on my square body again. Needs some more carb tuning and maybe some timing adjustment and I'll be ready.
That hurt to watch, and thats why i stopped watching Demolition Ranch, i get it but seriously? a beautiful Hummer H1 Alpha, you can take the dumb wrap off and you have a nice truck, military proven and strong and these A holes just pepper it with rounds, i love firearms and i love cars but to see it match in this way is just horrible lol!
Now that’s a waist of a perfectly good hummer
no such thing as a good hummer
@@probablysomeonesomewhere Well, not when she drags her teeth.
Y’all are comedy gold loved this video hope demo Matt and Brandon Herrera do more collab videos in the future
Them batteries really did "DieHard" lol
It always pisses me off to see rich kids with too much money. That Hummer could have been saved. Pissed in MN
First
Im so glad yall are saving this
That's awesome how I just seen this thing get tore up and now your working on it
Not a big fan of destroying classics…
(i know Kevin didn’t destroy it..No hard feeling towards him at all)
Abuse of fine machinery I hate any vehicle abused or any machinery.
It’s for a school project
Me either, hence why this video exists
Hahahaha that is in no way a classic
It's like what's the point now of making it run. It's destroyed anyway
Destroying a working (and expensive) vehicle for some crappy mobile game advertisement is just too low, do better guys.
Are you a woman?
What an excellent video! I really enjoyed watching it.
Loved the “ who the hell volunteered us for that? Your son” I thought for sure one of those 50 calibre’s had punched a hole in the block, surprised that it was pretty much intact except for the wiring and the starter.
Yeah, but why? This zoomer content ain't for me I guess...
Even as a big Gun enthusiasts and owner, im Very irritated when i see a modern classic in what appears mint condition be destroyed for views. Im not impressed whatsoever.
Don't look at me. I'm the one who saved it
Exactly
I honestly thought that. But Mr demo ranch needs a stern talkin to....😮
Wait a second you just spoiled the ending 😂
"modern classic" what the hell is that 😂
The doc out there repping digs merch hell ya brother
Epic collab!!!
sorry not a fan of guns or needless destruction of something that could have been a life-changing gift to someone in need of a ride. but at least the gun nuts got to play with their guns.
Yeah TBH I am trying to still wrap my head around why someone would do this, then I heard it..... must a white Texan gun nut thing! Not my kind of video, but still a fan.
I used to love this channel, it had great content and from time to time he still puts out a good video but the number of good videos vs. "just crap he puts out to make a video" ratio is getting to the point that I'm worried that something is going on in his life that is keeping him from producing the same quality that he used to put out. Poor Mook is barely on at all anymore. How many videos did she put out this year? 3?
If a hummer is a “life changing gift” you’ve got problems lol nobody who’s financially unstable can afford a diesel hummer
@@10mm69 but they could sell it or trade it for something they could use. use your head for something besides a hat rack.
@@Hobodeluxe960 you don’t just get a giveaway and all is well you need to then pay tax on that vehicle to even get it. If you’re financially struggling you’ll never afford that tax lol your shallow minded take on this is comical
