That in-line 6 was one of the best engines Ford ever built. We used to call bullet proof but I think that has to be said carefully around Demolition Ranch
Matt, if you plan on keeping that tow strap in the window I would put it in a bag of some kind so it doesn't rot/degredate from the sun beaming on it constantly.
That raises a good question because I believe it might be the UV radiation that causes damage to stuff but I suppose it could just be the heat. Now I have something to Google.
I laughed too hard when matt pulled that first aid kit and stuff went everywhere laughed harder then i should have because i mutally feel that shit happens all the time 😂
Those stone buildings can be marketed as dry cabins. (No amenities except a mini fridge, microwave, and electric). I glamp in one when I go to Michigan. There can be a collective outhouse, shower room, bathroom. The one I visit has a year wait list, and it isn't cheaper than a hotel room, but is a unique experience. I like it.
keep the lowrider and make it a display or centerpiece somewhere on Desperado Ranch. Remember, fans will come to the ranch and every piece they see that they know from the videos is a conversation piece and a piece of the fans' history with your channel.
The lowrider was always an impractical idea. I agree with others saying it needs to be a display piece on the ranch somewhere. Cant imagine it would be worth a whole lot with no engine. Strip the batteries and pumps out of it and sell them.
For the solid stone building you could maybe turn one of them into a diesel power generator in case you lose power. It comes in handy when someone across the town runs into a poll and knocks out the power. Or a storm takes the power out. We can run ours at work for 16 hours with one tank of diesel at 100 gallons. And just for a little bit more context the electric bill at work is 15K a month.
Matt those 300 I6 in the F150s are some of the greatest engines ever made. No way you can be embarrassed of that! Mine hasn't had the oil changed in 5 years and runs like a top!
@@quest4adventure495 it doesn’t get driven all that often and it seeps a little so I just top it off every now and then. Practically a fresh cycle of oil 😂

Here's a few things to know ..JB weld would have fixed that pump and been about as strong or stronger than the aluminum.... It froze or was dropped on something...The case doesn't get that hard there .. Probably dropped... Don't let the pump run dry...if you do...Do not pour water into it until it cools off...It will bust the ceramic seal around the shaft and it won't prime...In the winter..After you're done pumping..You can squirt some antifreeze in it and pull it a few times with the switch off to mix it up and it won't freeze...Don't forget to drain the hose in the winter .. a frozen hose is way worse than a frozen pump to get thawed.... I'm a towboater ..We use these all the time...
I understand why you want to get rid of it but it was the coolest burnout car at Bristol except for maybe the plane. It was also cool to see it in the pits all jacked up!
2:12 i suggest making it your back up generator/s building for all the other buildings with venting and a fire rated steel door and a fuel storage tank underground that could power the place for 2 weeks in a emergency...just a thought
You should make the small building a washroom. Love what you do mat, it’s amazing to see how far you have come content wise, keep up all the hard work brother.
Those stone rooms are awesome.great storage n tool sheds... i love how you didnt throw all the stuff out n recycles things to remodel the sheds... hope u do more of that keeping some originals for the rustic look
be careful with old pressure treated wood... prior to '03, it was treated with arsenic. Not a huge deal, but know what you're doing if you cut or grind a lot of it.
That would actually mean that it's fine; it takes only 10 years for the arsenic to disperse, 15 years at maximum safety concerns (since the place was abandoned over 20 years ago, more than enough time has passed for even the newest CCA lumber used on-site to be safe). Always use proper eye and respiratory protection when working with any form of pressure-treated wood, though, agreed.
@@KainYusanagi hey, I never heard that before. I appreciate the information! All the cases I've heard of of people getting heavy metal poisoning, or when they're building their houses new. That would make sense!
@@wedot1 No problem! And yeah, as Jackcurtis4906 said afterwards, don't burn it, either. Treat it like you would rock or concrete and ship it off site, when disposing of it, just to be safe.
My first truck was a 1993 Dodge Dakota with a 318 Magnum small block V8. Biggest gripe I had with that truck was that it had brackets for brackets, for the brackets for transmission and the transfer case which made working on it a pain in the ass. Also I vote for the Old Bronco, my grandpa had a 1969 Ford Bronco with a 302 under the hood.
For about 5 years back in the early 1990's I had a '71 Bronco. A former gas station plow vehicle that I bought for $1500 (and overpaid, the driver's floor was a piece of plywood, which I totally didn't notice because I wanted it so bad). 302/3 speed, all original and uncut. I did replace a bunch of sheet metal and did a Hurst floor shift conversion. I loved that truck, but finally had to sell it because I didn't have a garage and just wasn't going to be able to repair any more. I took it on several multi-hour trips and it was noisy, but the ride was actually quite good.
I think it's awesome that you are reusing some of the good wood and other products for other buildings. Good on you and your crew. Keep up the great content Matt/ family and crew.😊
Love the story about the truck, those are the stories you keep for your kids! It’s not all about the expensive stuff, it’s about caring and taking pride in something you’ve worked for!
You know Matt, I was leaning towards sell myself. Until I got to the end of the video, and Saw Mere laughing, bouncing the lowrider. Definitely got to keep it!
Get the paint job on the El Dorado fixed up (same pattern/style/colors, redo the whole trunk and rear fenders), retouch what isn't so bad on other parts of the car, fix the mechanicals (CAREFULLY), and make sure you buy parts that can take those beatings. It's only always broken because you seem to always be trying to break it. And when it's finally put back together and beefy enough for burnout competitions, put it back in circulation. Get even more "Gangsta" burnouts and fans drooling over your skills. That's my 2 cents. But don't tell Mere!
If you are making a restaurant type area in the burned down building, then use the small buildings around that area as server stations. (Computers to ring in/cash out orders, drink coolers/fountains, silverware, etc.)
Convert the lowrider rear end to a 4-link and run a more standard size tire. the increased diameter of tire will help your burnouts which is the priority while still being able to bounce the front end. Running a full lowrider rear suspension setup seems to be forcing your weakest point to be the driveshaft and run sub-optimal tires. This way your not dealing with changes in camber Love the content; recommend a fire extinguisher for the back of the Bronco, center console molle panels are also great to clip your carry in if your right handed/open carry. Cheers!
Tire size has nothing to do with it. Smaller tires are easier to spin, and tire speed makes smoke. It's already 3 linked. No need for a 4 link. It would just bind up and break stuff.
@@leftyeh6495dont forget that camber has nothing to do with anything here. Just need to deal with those insane driveshaft angles that are killing the U-joints
@@TheSatchrox It spends more time broken because he uses it in a way that is meant to break it. Put the original engine back in it, fix it up right, and use it the way it was meant to be used. Problem solved. And she would have an unforgettable first car.
For the love of God please keep the impala, personally that's one of my dream cars especially in that configuration. I would love to see the problems sorted and it doing killer burnouts while using the hydraulics. And I'm sure if you don't raise it as high in three wheeling the driveshaft angle would be wayy happier but I'm sure you know that too. :)
My first vehicle was a truck too. 1966 Chevy 3/4 ton 2wd with a 283, would barely go over 60mph, but would climb a tree in granny. There literally were brush marks in the white paint, you could see through the wood bed floor in a lot of places, there was no radio or A/C, didn't matter. My 17 year old ass loved that truck.
I have a 1972 Bronco, 302 V8, 4 Speed Manual Trans, NP205 Transfer Case, Warn Lock-o-Matic hubs in front.....Dark Jade Poly, Paint Code "V"....Beautiful Green -Blue factory color seldom seen. It's been restored to factory specs with an interior trim color of Saddle Brown for all the soft trim including the dash. Seats are Leather front and rear with matching carpeting. The Bronco is a hard top, of course and i had the top painted body color and the grille painted Darl Argent Silver. Bronco lettering on the grille is red. It's an impressive looking rod.....3 inch lift and 35 inch BFG All Terrain TA Radials on Five Slot 15x8 inch Aluminum Rims, Powder Coated with the Chevrolet, "Saratoga Silver" color, (Medium Silver Metallic). Final gearing is 3:73:1 with a limited slip rear axle. I also added AC and Factory "Sunshade Glass" for the rear and rear side windows for creature comfort. Looks and drives like new and is a real head turner..... I vote: OLD BRONCO.....
I would say keep the low rider to fix it but instead of rushing to get it done by the next burnout competition why not just take your time research better parts and slowly build it up so it does not break everytime it is driven
Replace the rear end, get a new driveshaft made that has splines that go full length so when it telescopes it doesn't come apart. Swap to CV joints on it instead of U joints, they handle extreme angles better. Maybe limit lift a bit so it isn't quite as extreme...
You could turn one of those little stone huts into a hotdog/burger/ice cream stand, looks like it's got plenty of room for a chest freezer or two and a nice grill/stovetop. Also those molle interior panels are sick!
5:25 my truck was a clapped out 88. Mitsubishi might max. 2WD 4cy. Lowered. I got it when I was 15. B4 I even had my driver license. It's also the same yr I was born. Lol
I don't usually comment on videos, but I'm invested in this one! You gotta keep the lowrider dude! Yes, it breaks a lot at shows.. almost every single one. Yet how many other do you see out there? Absolutely none, it's unique and cherished by fans that don't even know who you are. That video didn't say "demo ranch did a crazy burnout", he was purely talking about the car. Ya gotta keep it man!
Matthew, you will never find a better burn-out car than the Impala. That is one cool car just ask any kid who watches you. The kids all love that car. I think that it is worth fixing and give the old girl at least one more shot at it. Good luck on which ever way you decide to go!!!!!!
lets be honest with matt he will find something outrageous or he will have it custom built. since he started with el chromino with its noticeable spray paint job added the ranchstangs uniqueness, then went for the extreme with the lowrider that doesnt burnout near as well as the first 2 but is neat to see
My first pickup was a 1970 F-250 2wd with a 390 4-spd (1st gear was a granny gear) in 1993. My current trucks are a 1995 F-150 4x4 with the 300 I6 5-spd and and 1987 F-150 4x4 flatbed with 351w (currently rebuilding the engine) c6 auto. I had an '87 Bronco II and a 1995 Bronco, but I love the old original 70's Broncos the best.
Keep the Impala, bullet proof the rear end, leave the paint it builds character. Loved that burnout, and when you get the car right it is gonna win you a burnout competition just because you can drift that ish in three wheel.
Im for keeping it, everything you build will have bugs that you gotta work out. Eventually after building everything better and stronger it should b pretty sweet. Also if you do keep it i would swap out the u joints for CVs, much stronger at steep angles.
My first truck was a 88 f150 5.0. I loved that truck. I later put a 5.0 out of a fox body. I couldn't get it running right after. I wish I had that 300 6 cylinder. I probably would still have it today
Old Bronco every day of the week and twice on Sunday! There is ZERO comparison. The built quality vehicles back then. My first truck was '79 F-100 2WD, 302 w/ 4 on the floor. I miss that truck!
To keep your straps from coming loose on the vehicle you are hauling in a trailer you need tire straps that actually strap over the tire. The suspension compresses with every bump and thats whay causes the straps to loosen
The favorite thing I like about the low rider is Mere's reaction to bouncing the car in your outtro. I say save the engine, and fix it enough to sell it. I was a cool idea to try to do burnouts with it but the stresses that are incurred in things like a three wheel burnout is to much. Of what little I know of low riders, they seem to be made for going slow and showing off (looking good).
My first truck was a 1972 Ford F100 Ranger XLT. It had a built 429 SCJ and was a beast. I was only 16 and it scared the hell out of me so I got a 1977 C10 body on a 3/4 chassis 4x4 that I drove until every time I shut the door something fell off. At the time I also had a Bronco 2 I bought for $800 off one of my dad’s brothers. It wasn’t nice at all, but it was an awesome truck for a kid and I drove it to school and work until I was 18 and traded it to my best friend for a 1991 Nissan 240 SX SE hatchback. Now that was a fun car!
My first truck was a 1953 F 100 with a straight 6 & "three on the tree" and no A/C either and this was in FL. Now Heather's Bronco is sweet and probably gets the same if not better gas mileage than your new one.
You should turn the one building that had the water tanks in it, into a sauna or steam room. It already has the pipes so it probably wouldn’t be that hard.
Just watching great vid like always got thinking how long family and i have been watching you lmao! Love and look Forward to all you do brother..👌👊 demo for life👌🇺🇸thank you
I was just watching your new Desperado video today keep an eye on your fuel pump because those are the signs of one going good luck brother if your truck keeps dying over and over losing power and dying check your connections fuel filter
Matt: builds 3000 sq ft shop. Also matt: fills it so full of his junk he has to move the smallest Broncos ever made to have room to work on his own car.
He should collab with one of the fab people who can really noodle out how to make it tough enough to do things like burn-out competitions WITH the hydraulics.
Growing up my dad had a 91 ford f150 night edition. It was the very first vehicle I ever drove as a kid. We still have it to this day. It just sits around and my dad has been very stubborn about letting me have it.
Matt, any of that old wood or exposed wood get a cheap deck sprayer and mix in it 80 percent used engine oil from the HQ and 20 percent diesel and mix it up and spray on all the exposed wood. Preserves the wood and keeps all critters and bugs including bees and wasps away from it.
Also in Texas you can apply for an abandonment claim title for any car after its sat for 90 days. So you can do this for any of the old work trucks left on the property you bought. Just go ask the DMV what the process and procedures are.
Keep the Impala, who wants to do what everybody else is already doing. You singlehandedly (and unwittingly) maybe starting the next revolution in burnout cars, a whole new class. And one day when they're writing the history of burnout cars competition book, there you will be headlining a whole chapter.
Matt, I have a 1966 Bronco in a barn on my property. It was the first one sold in MO. Its a rusty pile. Its yours if you want to come to MO and get it!!
That in-line 6 was one of the best engines Ford ever built. We used to call bullet proof but I think that has to be said carefully around Demolition Ranch
Oh, I laughed out loud at this one.
😂
New video!
Got one in my truck, slapped a turbski on her an she screams now! Best engine ever!
YEP. Matt will hear that and say "hold my beer".
Matt, if you plan on keeping that tow strap in the window I would put it in a bag of some kind so it doesn't rot/degredate from the sun beaming on it constantly.
That raises a good question because I believe it might be the UV radiation that causes damage to stuff but I suppose it could just be the heat. Now I have something to Google.
Good point and idea : )
@@bradprice8040 Plastics/rubbers don't like UV. Ozone too sometimes.
As an Aussie, this was my very first thought, one summer here and that thing would probably be toast
And if it does get used and muddy a bag will keep it contained until you can clean it instead of it getting all over the inside of the Bronco.
I love how Mere's car becomes Matt's new adventure car🤣
Exactly 😮
RIGHT ?????
I just commented to Matt, "Didn't you get the new bronco for Mere"?
Funny how Matt thinks we've forgotten about that. 😅
Lol yeah.
But matt did tell us to expect this when he got it.
You know the rules "don't tell Mere"🤫🤫🤫
I was wondering if he got her a new car already.. cause it was technically supposed to be temporary.. lol
I laughed too hard when matt pulled that first aid kit and stuff went everywhere laughed harder then i should have because i mutally feel that shit happens all the time 😂
Those stone buildings can be marketed as dry cabins. (No amenities except a mini fridge, microwave, and electric). I glamp in one when I go to Michigan. There can be a collective outhouse, shower room, bathroom. The one I visit has a year wait list, and it isn't cheaper than a hotel room, but is a unique experience. I like it.

Yes yes, keep lowrider. Would love to see it at desperado ranch.
This is a great idea!
Make it into a bar in the new building.
The lowrider was always an impractical idea.
I agree with others saying it needs to be a display piece on the ranch somewhere.
Cant imagine it would be worth a whole lot with no engine.
Strip the batteries and pumps out of it and sell them.
Yep...make it coin operated so folks can put in say 50¢ and bounce around in it for a few minutes.
For the solid stone building you could maybe turn one of them into a diesel power generator in case you lose power. It comes in handy when someone across the town runs into a poll and knocks out the power. Or a storm takes the power out. We can run ours at work for 16 hours with one tank of diesel at 100 gallons. And just for a little bit more context the electric bill at work is 15K a month.
50 KW on a Yanmar is about $20k and burns less than a gallon an hour.
My first thought was a generator shed.
I like that idea also, but also you can turn one into the power room, and use the other one for storage of targets and ammo.
he would have to cut a big hole in one wall to vent out the hot air.. but could work
Thats a great idea!

Tiny houses like guest rooms with some privacy.
They're a little too exposed to be private
They would be a tiny room with a hot plate.
Not really big enough for a bed toilet shower kitchenette. Hmmm. Perhaps they shpuld be the armories for the guns and the bullets? Idk
Build some similar sized wood buildings and make a mini old west town for kids!
You don't really need a kitchen corner, but little cv like toilet and bunk bed.
Mine was a '63 Dodge with a 318 industrial engine and 3 on the tree, which I converted to a floor shift. I loved it!
The Newer Bronco looks more Baja ready. I have always loved the look of the older ones. Awesome ride you have now can't beat the deal 😂

I don't usually comment on videos, but I'm invested in this one! You gotta keep the lowrider dude! Yes, it breaks a lot at shows.. almost every single one. Yet how many other do you see out there? Absolutely none, it's unique and cherished by fans that don't even know who you are. That video didn't say "demo ranch did a crazy burnout", he was purely talking about the car. Ya gotta keep it man!
Matthew, you will never find a better burn-out car than the Impala. That is one cool car just ask any kid who watches you. The kids all love that car. I think that it is worth fixing and give the old girl at least one more shot at it. Good luck on which ever way you decide to go!!!!!!
I agree. It's an engineering challenge!
Keep it!!! The LS fest burnout with Roman was the most epic burnout ever!!!!
The thing about the lowrider is how unique (and a spectacle) it is. Is whatever you could replace it with be *that* special and noticeable?
Bentley limo ???
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This guy gets it 👍👍
lets be honest with matt he will find something outrageous or he will have it custom built. since he started with el chromino with its noticeable spray paint job added the ranchstangs uniqueness, then went for the extreme with the lowrider that doesnt burnout near as well as the first 2 but is neat to see
Have you seen the RanchStang…?
@@Superior_Autos_Motorcycles that’s such an awesome name!!!👍🏻
My first pickup was a 1970 F-250 2wd with a 390 4-spd (1st gear was a granny gear) in 1993. My current trucks are a 1995 F-150 4x4 with the 300 I6 5-spd and and 1987 F-150 4x4 flatbed with 351w (currently rebuilding the engine) c6 auto. I had an '87 Bronco II and a 1995 Bronco, but I love the old original 70's Broncos the best.
Make the small out buildings into either Smoker buildings for food, or into Stem Rooms for people
You should get that bronco wrapped in pink that should surprise Donut.
I like how the new Bronco is sort of an homage to the first generation Bronco. But I also like the big Broncos based on the F-150.
Dude those F150 straight 6 motors were fantastic!
Lol still are
New bronco 100% I have seen a new Bronco on Matt's Offroad Recovery do some stuff with ease that purpose built rock crawlers have struggled to do.
The old Bronco has more metal than plastic, and that's a good thing!
Get that RaptoR
Keep the Impala, bullet proof the rear end, leave the paint it builds character. Loved that burnout, and when you get the car right it is gonna win you a burnout competition just because you can drift that ish in three wheel.
Im for keeping it, everything you build will have bugs that you gotta work out. Eventually after building everything better and stronger it should b pretty sweet. Also if you do keep it i would swap out the u joints for CVs, much stronger at steep angles.
My first truck was a 88 f150 5.0. I loved that truck. I later put a 5.0 out of a fox body. I couldn't get it running right after. I wish I had that 300 6 cylinder. I probably would still have it today
Old Bronco every day of the week and twice on Sunday! There is ZERO comparison. The built quality vehicles back then. My first truck was '79 F-100 2WD, 302 w/ 4 on the floor. I miss that truck!
keep the low rider. you learn by breaking things to make it better. remember your a pioneer in using a low rider in a burnout competition,
Keep the car Matt!!!! It screams that your the ish!!!!
The property is going to look amazing when it’s done. I love doing work like that and I wish I had an opportunity to do something like this.
I had the same bullet proof straight 6 91 F-150. It was like my eight vehicle but man I loved that truck
To keep your straps from coming loose on the vehicle you are hauling in a trailer you need tire straps that actually strap over the tire. The suspension compresses with every bump and thats whay causes the straps to loosen
The favorite thing I like about the low rider is Mere's reaction to bouncing the car in your outtro. I say save the engine, and fix it enough to sell it. I was a cool idea to try to do burnouts with it but the stresses that are incurred in things like a three wheel burnout is to much. Of what little I know of low riders, they seem to be made for going slow and showing off (looking good).
It's a never ending problem.
KEEP THE LOWRIDER . honestly I think you know the week points, and it’s so unique it has an edge on the competition.
I thought that was Mere's car 🤨 Love the enhancements you made. Great accomplishments today! Have an awesome day. I'm tellling Mere!
My first truck was a 1972 Ford F100 Ranger XLT. It had a built 429 SCJ and was a beast. I was only 16 and it scared the hell out of me so I got a 1977 C10 body on a 3/4 chassis 4x4 that I drove until every time I shut the door something fell off. At the time I also had a Bronco 2 I bought for $800 off one of my dad’s brothers. It wasn’t nice at all, but it was an awesome truck for a kid and I drove it to school and work until I was 18 and traded it to my best friend for a 1991 Nissan 240 SX SE hatchback. Now that was a fun car!
My first truck was a 1953 F 100 with a straight 6 & "three on the tree" and no A/C either and this was in FL.
Now Heather's Bronco is sweet and probably gets the same if not better gas mileage than your new one.
That was the best first aid kit. Everything comes out quick and easy.😂
Refuge Medical makes the best kits for sure.
You should turn the one building that had the water tanks in it, into a sauna or steam room. It already has the pipes so it probably wouldn’t be that hard.
Just watching great vid like always got thinking how long family and i have been watching you lmao! Love and look Forward to all you do brother..👌👊 demo for life👌🇺🇸thank you
Not only doubling the power also spreading the load to an other point than the winch mount
The old skool wood gives you the Rustic Look 😉
Honestly I think if you beef up the driveshaft and rear axle the Impala would be an awesome burn out car.
Whatever you do, keep the lowrider!!! Just rebuild it to make it bullet proof.
imagine this being a training facility for like CQB or tactical training
No doubt that it will.
would be legit af, without building another area, this spot would be ideal, cool hes making it for people to stay though@@richnorman7058
I was just watching your new Desperado video today keep an eye on your fuel pump because those are the signs of one going good luck brother if your truck keeps dying over and over losing power and dying check your connections fuel filter
No! You do not get rid of something due to the challenges it presents to you. You learn from challenges and defeat them!
Keep the low rider, and then Mere can laugh her butt off whenever❤
Unless she finds out how much it costs.
Matt: builds 3000 sq ft shop.
Also matt: fills it so full of his junk he has to move the smallest Broncos ever made to have room to work on his own car.
Keep the impala! You will be surprised by the value later in life.
He should collab with one of the fab people who can really noodle out how to make it tough enough to do things like burn-out competitions WITH the hydraulics.
Growing up my dad had a 91 ford f150 night edition. It was the very first vehicle I ever drove as a kid. We still have it to this day. It just sits around and my dad has been very stubborn about letting me have it.
Those little huts would be perfect for a little sauna and chill area. Theres a pool in walking distance too
Stone walls could end up being hot tub or sauna room.
That’s a really good idea actually!!
Love your videos keep it up
Everyone hates the lowrider, but it makes Mere giggle and we love Mere. So we're keeping it!
That's a bold statement
Hearing you had an OBS ford makes me smile because I currently own a ‘93 f-150 with the inline 6
Matt, any of that old wood or exposed wood get a cheap deck sprayer and mix in it 80 percent used engine oil from the HQ and 20 percent diesel and mix it up and spray on all the exposed wood. Preserves the wood and keeps all critters and bugs including bees and wasps away from it.
Does Addy want the low rider for her first car? 😂
Also in Texas you can apply for an abandonment claim title for any car after its sat for 90 days. So you can do this for any of the old work trucks left on the property you bought. Just go ask the DMV what the process and procedures are.
Sale!!!
You need a runner gunner jeep with a MA DEUCE mounted with Demolitia and Texas Flags flying proudly 👌
Keep the Impala, who wants to do what everybody else is already doing. You singlehandedly (and unwittingly) maybe starting the next revolution in burnout cars, a whole new class. And one day when they're writing the history of burnout cars competition book, there you will be headlining a whole chapter.
Matt, I have a 1966 Bronco in a barn on my property. It was the first one sold in MO. Its a rusty pile. Its yours if you want to come to MO and get it!!
