legit the best sponsor skit that I have ever seen
Forreals !
The first one I didn't skip in a while lol
It almost.... Almost makes me want to go back to Nissan. Almost. Maybe. Ok I'll check it out
they had to make it as good as possible after 50k spent lol
Its great because ive always felt that Jeremiah looks just like Eddie Munson from stranger things 😂
Aaron coming back for this is honestly the biggest W on the channel in years
fuck yes am so happy to seem him back for this video. hopefully he shows up in more Donut videos
Literally while watching this I was thinking about how much I missed seeing Aaron, and then he showed up. I was hyped.
Aaron is the man
he's the one who do the miata back then right ?
@@2ndfreedomhe did the 350z hi low
At this point Donut is making every man's dream come true:
1. Build SICK cars
2. You do it with your friends
3. You do get paid to do it
4. You do it for a living
5. You become an icon
I get all of that except number 5, I think I have a better deal
@@spartantv6268 put me on
Donut is a joke. How can you call yourself a car guy, then install an auto...
@@RustyVaperGameplay they not a joke especially with their amount of money i dont think you or me make more than them or have nearly the amount of cars they do
You forgot #6
6. Bang hot, dumb liberal California chicks because they recognize you from the videos their brother watches.
@31:14 the jump/punch celebration when it cranked over for the first time 🤣🤣 that's a man who has lost a lot of sleep thinking about this for days on end.
I noticed that too lmfaooo
The front-facing exhaust SCREAMS "I need a single humongous turbo".
Mmm, how about 8 to 1 collector headers for that unique V8 scream? Seems like it would work really well with the configuration requirements from having that giant engine stuffed into the ranger.
@@lcrowe2011 something like mike cox's bronco's exhaust with a side exit would be sick
Gotta get that 47 Hrsprs somewhere!
@@hsklar5941 You would think Hoonigan could afford to have a welder/fabricator for piping. Makes no sense cuz they would save a lot of time and money if a fab guy could just custom weld and fit everything for them perfectly and easily.
how about a handle bar mustache style exhaust? kinda a swoop up and back
Jokes aside... that Nissan commercial was waaaaay better then any big corpra could do
Legit it's a nice suv.. but cvt and all, shame a brand that used to make fun & exciting cars that lasted now are junk unless it's a 350z or gtr lol
Nissan is a big corporation. Im sure Nissan had a role in producing that ad.
@landenfisher4754 I'm sure they had some say, but if you look at their normal ads vs what Donut does when they partner with big brands, it's pretty clear to see that Donut did most of the skit draw up lol.
The majority of their ad-reads are better than any big corp production.
@@gordoeinstein I'd wager the ad idea/content are more controlled by the agency/in-house marketing teams from their sponsors, in this case Nissan. Ofc the Donut team has to be comfortable with the adread. So that means it is the 'big corp'
@ 8:20 Jobe = 'we are not going to be doing anything stupid...." immediately followed by the "Hold my beer" look from Jeremiah. Perfect.
Nolan got me with that “see you next time” I had to look to make sure the video wasn’t over
The Aaron-reveal was sick, so awesome to see him stop by the shop, dude is an absolute legend.
So hyped to see Aaron back again, hopefully he becomes a more regular member of the crew again
They're living my dream of turning a $500 car into a $100,000 race car
Incredible what you can do with an unlimited budget. I miss the old stuff that made me feel like i can do what donut is doing but in my garage. That being said the way the truck roared to life was pretty cool.
Old donut: "Up to speed!"
New donut: "we spend thousands of dollars lol"
😭
more like use thousands of dollars in sponsored parts.
i am not complaining because I will never get to spend thousands of dollars to build a giant desert devil
* tens of thousands
This video was a lot more than just "we spend money lol"
Ngl I'm really glad you guys basically fully built the engine in one episode. A lot of other RUclipsrs would just put the engine in and say "stay tuned for next episode where we wire it" ect.
i think its just really cool seeing most of the hosts in one video! really gives the "were just hangin with the boys" energy
Yea that’s why I only really watch donut and throtl. To many other channels drag things out way longer than need be
Ive been watching cleet and squirrel building some square body trucks so im glad donut did an engine swap on this too :)
@@Akosa117tavarish lmao
Fr
Aaron's back! I've been missing him since the high v low 350z videos! He's honestly the goat!
holy f*ck this is one of the best vids on youtube right now. Donut is the only channel where I will likely sit and watch a whole damn ad, and I pay for youtube premium to avoid doing just that. All-star cast, secret reunions, all five elements truly are in this video, especially the heart.
I actually skipped the ad n after seeing this comment I am just gonna suck it up j watch the ad
Bringing Aaron back for this video, and his introduction to the episode, was perfect - much love, Donut Fam!!!
9:38 the editor needs a raise because he not only cued the cutting and sparks, but also managed to add music that matched what was randomly hummed out
i think he knew what he was humming.its their famous stock music they usually use. but yes great editing
the editing on Donut's content is just perfect
it’s not that impressive 😂 they just use those tracks so much that they know how it goes.
@@CarBleach you should check out the video where they were adding body kits to the Z's and the way the edited the dremel tool match the background track is kinda cool so yeah
Watching this really makes me think how far donuts come since I started watching in 2017. Really crazy glad y’all’s dreams came true
This is such an example of mens true work of art. "We can have a fart evac system!" "We gotta feed it beans!". Haha hilarious 🤣. Impressive work as well!
13:30
"The alternator is a delicate piece of equipment"
*also instantly cuts away to them using a grinder on said alternator*
Genuinely sweet truck though
As mechanic the routing of exhaust and extreme heat where it don’t want to be. 😢
Man I've missed Aaron in Donut media
I am very happy to see him after a long time ❤️
A-A-Ron is pre-sent!
I could feel the energy of a boosted wankel at 9K as he stepped in WWE Style!
I was shocked to see him! Forgot he wasn’t even at Donut :,)
How is this a 50K engine when you can buy one from texas speed for 25K and its turn key. Its 28K with shipping and taxes and i live in Georgia a good distance from texas. Even cheaper used or from summit. If anyone knows why I would Love to hear your answer.
So excited to see Aaron back
I actually had a nightmarish experience trying to get the transmission to seal back up to the engine after replacing the flex plate on a mid-90's Ford Explorer. It's not always that easy. Having the right tools (and being able to see and access all sides of the transmission) helps immensely.
just saying, visually seeing you joke around about the video while making the video was really enjoying to see and helps humanize you all. I appreciate it !
I’m not a Nissan fan but I loved that skit.
Could everyone stop using the Google trigger phrase in videos?
@@gavenmclrnwhy are you triggered for?
@@Viper42104ig he means google assistant
@@gavenmclrnIf you need Google Maps to find AutoZone on the mountain 😂😂😂
Don't know what being a fan or not has to do with anything, what an absolutely strange thing to mention
1:26 That little "E" written on the head cover between the "S" and "X" is classy 😂
great eye!
i didn’t even notice till i saw your comment lmfaoo
I actually thought, damn I would surely write a E in there 😂
Man this was such a quality entertaining video, like normally I don’t watch this long of videos but it was super engaging and very manageable. I didn’t feel like I was waiting to find something I don’t like and then find a different video. Nice work Donut Heads!!
You should put the exhaust header high like this but facing backwards, this means the left one goes right and vice-versa
With that it would be possible to make a custom exhaust going to the top of windshield
Donut: "spends $50k for
It's like they just spent money just to spend it......
I can't get over the creativity and professionalism of that Nissan ad 😂 best commercial ever!
Nissan Rogue advert. Was your best work yet team. Couldn’t skip it had to close that loop. Nice work.
Going for Captain Planet instead of Avatar really dates you😂
🎵Captain Planet. He's our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero. 🎶
As awesome.
Just like the truck
Not really they had reruns of it on boomerang for a whileee
Heart. Need heart.
No High. No Low. Just one MEGA Build !!!
Hi-car
Lo-car
and _Top Truck_
A Money Pit, I'd be so inclined to say
@@danielchampion2982nah man, this a race car
honestly so much more entertaining
@@kevinschmidt1261 yes. But also it becomes somewhat un-relatable because us „mortals“ won‘t have the chance to diy this. But thill SUPER entertaining
Nolan's drip at the dyno is insane! 🔥
honestly that was the best sponsor i have seen, nissan is lucky they have people like you guys
That nissan ad was pretty 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree. Great job!
Too bad Nissan sucks
All except for my Google Home starting some random playlist, lol!
Pretty gay.
@@lamp7746 they do suck
They said it in the beginning, but I personally feel like we should give Donut props for doing this type of content.
A lot of their content is used to generate revenue, as it should be. But donut has consistently listened to the fan base and made videos that are almost guaranteed to make no money, just for our entertainment. They take care of themselves, but they take care of the fan base too and I respect that
Well said. Gotta buy some merch.
At this point i am convinced that each member is pitching in a little 😂😂😂
How do you think they got to this point
they're sort of like MCM but they still need to do the little stuff to keep the lights on..
I guarantee they made money on this vid. not hard for a large channel to clear 100k AAAANNNDD, they are going to make more videos with this truck that cost next to nothing. Plus the tax write off. Plus the sponsor. Mr. Beast can drop a quarter mill on 1 solo vid and do just fine. Donut is not hurting from this. No hate. I'm glad they are willing to do it. Though I expect the same level of performance could be done for half.
If there is something I know, donut’s adds are top tier 🗣️💯
This is the type of ranger content I’ve been looking forward to
Nobody is touching these guys on ad skits. So thoughtful and creative. Every company needs to sponsor these dudes.
The Why Files are really good too.
Actually I think the best ad skits are done by Icecreamsandwich. He's untouchable.
internet historian does some pretty amazing ones!
Between Donut and Team Four Star, they're the best.
I’ll do a 1.9tdi swap to my r8 if this gets 7 likes
7? haha
Number 21,we better get the video in about 3 days!
Get to it, we expect updates
I cannot wait 🤤
Cap 🧢
Good to see an aus company get so big. Been dealing with pwr for years and they're awesome.
Good work boys, you actually got me to willingly watch a Nissan commercial. And genuinely enjoy it.
Gotta say guys, this is by far and away the best build you've ever done. Taking shitty cars, putting a bunch of dream things into them, and making them awesome - such a great idea. Keep it up. This type of content is S-tier
This is hands down the best video they have made since up to speed was cancelled!!
18:45 AARON IS BACK!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 The prodigal son returns 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ayyyyy hahaha 👉🏽⚡️🤛🏽
@@aaronparker3559 I hoped to see you for the HI/low Subaru remake 🤙🏼🤙🏼
The D&D Nissan ad got me, great work guys!
Awesome to see Aaron back in another build! 🤘🔥
Adam’s reaction to the engine turning over for the first time was gold, looked like he felt like a kid again😂
I almost cried when I saw Aaron back again working on Donut
wasnt expecting the DND rouge skit at all. nice twist at the end there. love how the build is coming. keep it going boys
I started following your channel right around the time you acquired the Ford Ranger and I'm incredibly excited to see this thing in action. Thank you for making this mostly car illiterate dude excited about your builds :D
Aaron Parker with the sick intro
That smoke made him the real deal
31:32 SOUNDS SO GOOOOOODDDD!!! MORE POWER BABY
I liked the video immediately due to the pure artistic absurdity of putting a $50,000 powertrain in a $500 truck. The Mona Lisa wasn't painted on a canvas of gold.
@@anonimushboshplus all those other parts all together 50k but that shits ass only 450 hp fuck no lol 😂😂😂😂😂
15k ENGINE only my guy, he said powertrain @@anonimushbosh
An LSX isn't that much
@@anonimushboshall the parts
21:53 my man dual-wielding flashlights in a lit shop while eating lunch is my new spirit animal
I never knew I would see this combination of words in my life. It is beautiful
He really wins it all haha
Those are the shittiest lights made by Milwaukee, not very bright at all. That's why he is holding two of them.
Seeing Aaron emerge from the smoke got me so hyped. Takes us back to OG hi-low days.
cudos for not milking a month of content out of this, I appreciate the grind and am excited for a legit donut motorsport entry!!
Always cool to see Aaron pop back by. I knew as soon as Jobe and Adam started talking, there was going to be another big entrance. Need to have a reunion video with all the current/past Donut people (BART!)
the rogue cut scene was the best thing ever!
Rogue and Rouge are two different things makeup boy.
Yeah man, if this whole youtube thing doesn't work out for them they can always fall back on being an ad agency!
No, he tripped my Google apps when he said "hey Google" so fak u donut. Never do that to me again
I just finished the norra 1000 excited to see you guys concur this
I am so here for the ranger series. Best series on here. Also, I see a turbo on that exhaust in the future.
On the coilpacks, I've had all of mine appear to be bad while another set appeared to fix it. Actually turned out to be a bad chassis ground to the coils. The "good" ones had an internal short between signal ground and chassis ground making them work even without a solid chassis ground. Fixing the bad ground made it work with the original set.
An insane ranger, a 10/10 ad, Aaron and most importantly… a dog friend. Literally the perfect video!
I would never buy a Nissan rogue but mad respect to Nissan and the donut crewfor that fantastic ad you guys did! Brilliant!
Good to see You again, Aaron! 🎉 Guys, U are awesome, this will be the most awesome truck!
If everyone put as much effort into sponsors as donut I wouldn't skip through them
Yeah, I only skip through the sports betting ones because.. ew.. 😅
Adam’s expression when it fires up for the first time is priceless! “It looked like a Demon!”
Keep it up guys!
It was so great to see Aaron back! He was one of my favorite presenters on hi low
Gotta love the cold start rev... so good for that new pricey engine!
intake facing rear, exhaust pointing forward...we officially have a Donut build you guys! lol
Personally, I would have swapped the headers to the opposite sides and pointed them towards the windshield, then use some pipe to make it follow the windshield and exit at the roof.
@Raymo2u that's what they initially tries wasn't it? But once they flipped it and pointed it forward it actually fit?
@ivanolvera6809 no, they tried to make it go below the car, I'm talking about having it come up and then over the roof
Intake in the cabin, open header exhaust pointing straight forward, cast iron v8. Whatta build!
with how much work you guys have done on this truck, you could basically build another truck with the old parts.
Ship of Theseus
that ad banged creativity 🤯
Sure am glad Aaron came back he was one of my favorite back in the old donut days ❤
Jeremiah covering the doggos ears so the saw wasn't too loud was actually the cutest thing ever
That rogue ad is insane. I love it
So you have a extended cab truck remove the cab and install engine/trans and the push the cab back even if u have to use a single cab to save length frame is trimmed too. Gives engine more space to vent heat and not hot spot or have dead air flow
This is insane. Nolan's face when they fired it up was priceless!!! Can't wait to see it finished!
So awesome to see Aaron back. Hin and Nolan on Low Truck were my favorite.
I was wondering why you didn't go with the ZZ632 Chevy Crate?
Also I kind of wished you would have done high car low car on this build would have loved to seen those builds.
Also glad to see Aaron back always liked see him in the early donut videos and during the high car low car builds.
This build is absolutely bat shit insane, and I am all here for it.
The production quality of this video is mind-blowing. Imho, this is even beyond TV in many ways. Besides, you're filling the vacuum that all of Hoonigan leaving """Hoonigan""" left in the field of automotive content. Huge probs to everyone involved!
This is your best build hands down. Seems incredibly well-made. The front exhaust being functional makes it one of the coolest engine setups I've ever seen. The intake in the cabin is insanity. This thing's in/out piping is backwards. Never been this excited for a car build (sorry Tav P1)
The d and d skit was gold boys!! Great job!
Aaron! Yeah man!
Also, holy crap, that thing is LOUD!
10:30
“Pump it up
Pump
Pump on it
Do the pump right now.”
The next big dance hit of the summer.
pump on it 💀
massive episode. bravo donut medita.
I didn’t know Adam getting excited and throwing happy punches was something I needed in my life but I feel fulfilled now lol
Doggo made this video instantly way better - we need more doggo 🐶 ❤
Can't wait until they put that other LSX into a pitbike
Stop this is getting out of hand
I love this build so much
Aaron coming back was something i never thought would happen but that was awesome
Love this.
Are you guys worried at all about fuel range with only a 22 gallon tank.
A lot of these trucks run a 50-100 gallon fuel cell.
These engines are thirsty and driving offroad =extra rolling resistance reducing mpg even more.
It’s probably in the single digits for mpg.
And please do some pre runner testing before the actual race to try to get parts to fail. Then you still have a chance to correct them before race day. ❤❤❤ all the love guys. We want you to succeed.
So glad to see Aaron back again. I saw him on Real mechanics stuff a couple weeks ago, excited to see him back on Donut main channel as well. Dudes great!
Aaron is by far one of the most talented people on donut. Glad to see him back.
Fr I loved Aaron when they did Hi Low on the Z's and I am so happy they brought him back.
Hell yea
You guys putting in mo effort makes me wanna give mo support, im going to zumiez and buying a donut shirt asap
This thing is going to be a beast. Can't wait for the next video.
That D&D ad for the Nissan Rogue was better than most content on RUclips or TV
25:35 That anakin sample was crazy 😂
Hell yeah! Aaron's back for the ep 🤙
