Just like Hoonigan, once a corporation buys it the good people start leaving. Corps suck the soul out of channels, which has been obvious here too unfortunately.
putting expensive stuff on cheap vehicles will never get old.
For tho
The reason miatas exist
@@HighBeanz this.
Honestly tho nothing like takin a beater and turning it into your own vision
I bought a honda accord for $400 and traded it for a 2500hd silverado. It's getting an entire custom interior, new engine. The works!
It says a lot to let Jobe and Jer plug their new channel. It looks really classy and it shows it was on good terms. I think of the WTF1 situation and how that was handled so differently. Little different but you get it.
Cool story, bro.
What happened with WTF1?
@@leonardosantuario3346 what's wrong with you dude
@@hhhvnter Matt and Tommy left and created P1 with Matt and Tommy. I forget the drama but it was clear that Matt was the one bringing in the viewers and needed to reap the rewards first hand
Did you watch their video though? It doesn't really sound like they were on good terms for a long time. In fact, it sounds like they screwed Jer and Jobe over, despite being integral to this channel's success. Sad to hear but it's the best thing for them. Hearing that they weren't taken care of or cut in at all. That all the ideas they pitched for videos were getting rejected for profit or ego reasons.
You could tell they weren't happy with how much Donut has mutated into the Buzzfeed of car stuff. All the "react" and "try guys" slop they're churning out for maximum shekels.
No ill will though, I hope they continue to grow and succeed churning out the Buzzfeed "content" they seem to love making, or whatever will get them the most views.
Nolan's worst critic is himself sometimes. Keep your head up my dude, you're already twice the mechanic and driver than you were when Donut first started. 👍
He is who he is. No big thing.
Zack and Jerry were a big part of making this channel’s success. Sad to see they’ve gone their separate ways but I’m sure they’ll be successful.
WAIT THEY LEFT?

Thank you Zach and Jeremiah for your time at Donut. We will miss you and we hope you have great success at your new channel 👏👏👏👏

@@pwm_vrt6 in description. jobe and zach have left donut

Jer & Jobe helped me continue to watch this Channel. Can’t wait to see them grow!
Guys the only thing about having the weight of the spare tires past the axle is it increases the rotational inertia of the rear (in terms of yaw moment). You'll definitely have more traction over the axle in a straight line, but thats a lot of mass past the axle... if the rear starts to slide you have to deal with all of that mass and it'll be harder to tame it! I would move them centered above the axle if possible! Great build either way! You guys look like you're having a blast.
In offroad you want more weight in the rear to try keeping the front floating because it takes more impact than the rear which becomes very sketchy the faster you go. If you look at most trophy trucks, you'll see that they have about a 100-gallon tank sitting under or around the two spare tires to get the weight transferred to the back. They don't care entirely of turning characteristics because offroad courses are way rougher than street courses. If you don't believe me, you can check out Terra Crews built to destroy videos
Was literally typing "This channel has the best group of guys, they all work so well together" and then suddenly you hit us with that announcement.
Fr bro 😢
Pretty sure their channel is a branch of donut kind of like RMS, it’s just focused on them 2
@@jjkk509 Nah it's separate, it isn't owned by Donut or anything like that.
Idk I think they are still going to be on donut they are doing their channel in addition to the donut stuff. Or at least that's how I took it.
@@xxfloppypillowxx On their channel they clearly stated they're leaving donut. They'll pop up on donut at times, because they're all good friends and they love donut, but the new channel is their own thing, and their main jobs now.
Nolan has become the face of donut the past year or so, IMO. He’s always participating in the hard jobs and has really found his place. It’s good to see
Yeah completely took over james position
Next man up. James I assume is in more of the admin position now and like Nolen, the next man up affected Jimmy and Justin. With Jeremiah and Jobe leaving I'm sure there will be others too.
Nolan has become the Donut daddy.
100%
@@GatsbyParty james stopped following donut and has not appeared in quite some time, he probably left as well
Respect for the way Donut handled this, really wish the whole industry was like this. There is plenty of space for both channels, looking forward to watching both 👍
Hell i wish *every* industry was this graceful in career changes
did i hear a hint at another Hi-Low series? let's go. so excited for it.
Props to Donut for letting Zack and Jerry plug their new channel. They will definitely be missed, but I’m stoked to see what they have in store.
me too .. they brought so much to Donut
No they won't
@@carlosvaldes6770 they literally made donut what it is today
@@Talesthroughouthistory pls be d or real
They carried donut lol@@carlosvaldes6770
"Don't worry, you'll still see us on Donut"....
AutoAlex said the same about CT....
To be fair Alex was still on for a bit
they already have the vids recorded but need to edit them so yes you will.
And there only video on their new channel is "Why We’re Leaving Donut"
Alex was in a few videos after he left.
So we just get the donut 🍩 universe 😂 in end end it’s about money and direct , plus people need a change once in a while , just part of growing old 😂
I sure hope the stress from equity shareholders doesnt cause our favorite hosts to quit because their ideas werent profitable enough.
Love the wrap job. Chrome wrap on custom race vehicles always looks good. The only thing I would change would be the spare tire wheel placement. Stacking them like this OO makes it harder to change the wheel. I would do them like this [][] upright, side by side. Makes it easier to roll off and on after you unlatch them with only one person needed. If you have to change a tire during a race, speed is of the essence.
With Donut's track record, I'm hoping they will actually be able to finish the race they may put this in lol
Don’t count on it 😂
This thing will fall apart FAST
😂
I hope they stick all of the original Ranger badges on the rig.
Was that a pun?
Love how Sean is just going from CZcams channel to CZcams channel doing gods work
Nope, he's doing real work which is neither evil nor imaginary
Respect for allowing those guys to post videos on there own and even linking them
So glad you guys are supporting bigtime that’s how you do it!
I can’t believe that you made a 500 dollar Ford ranger into this
There is nothing from the old ranger, maybe just VIN code plate, and couple doors😅
I think this is the modern day "Ford Ranger of Theseus" as this point
I can't belive they got a running, driving Ranger for $500 in 2023/4.
@@musewolfmanexactly
It wouldn't make sense to use a nice ranger to do this when almost nothing of the original vehicle is going to be used.
Zack is the reason I started watching Donut, money pit was everything!
Ill still tune in occasionally to Donut, but Big Time might just become my favourite car channel
100% agree!
246k subs last time I looked. They'll go far 🤟
@@samuelgarrod8327almost 600k now
I love you guys, you make my week so much better than it could be some days. look forward to what all of y’all have in store for us, no matter the platform!
and the best part with this series? Y’all giving attention to my favorite truck, I’ve owned an ‘08 since 2013. it’s finally getting the content it deserves 😍
Damn dawg, Sean works on everything and is also a pilot. Good shit fam
Good luck Jerry and Zach!
Jerry does dangerous shop stuff 24/7, not a scratch. Cuts his finger to the bone while making a sandwich.
Don't let women know they actually have harder jobs.
And never call a welder a sewing machine, the sewer operating it will get fussy.
Oh damn they got the guys from BigTime in this vid! Super cool they collabed!
Props to Donut for giving you the opportunity to shoutout your new channel. That usually doesn’t happen. Stand up move Donut!
3:55 damn Sean looks so serious here, he looks more fun on DDE 😂
At dde mike's the the guy so Sean can chill a bit but hear Sean is the guy so he gotta be in charge
We need a DDE and Donut collab!!!
Sean looks nervous
Whys sean even here and not on dde anymore?
@KK001 he was never an official DDE employee. He was just a friend of Mike's and was helping out.
I can’t believe they’re leaving, end of an era but excited for the future
The fire extinguisher mount was genius! Love this series. Hope you get some good footage from the race and are able to finish it!
Thanks for finally fixing the exhaust, and doing the wrap like the shirt. I do love some widebody extended cab Rangers
NO, THIS WILL BE THE MOST LIKED COMMENT
NO! THIS WILL BE THE MOST LIKE COMMENT!

It's nice to see Jimmy get more and more screen time. Donut is the channel I see that gives people from behind the scenes a chance more than any other and I'm fully here for it.
Cause jerr and zach left donut
@@thowell825 jerry is literally in this video 😂
@@jordonsmith1371 he sure is but him and Zach have left Donut
Spoiler much‽ Early on in this video, this comment shook me. I don't know how to feel yet. I haven't seen the reveal.
@@BrandonAaskovmaybe just watch the whole video before going to the comments lol. Attention span of a puppy.
Man, I'm so happy for you guys! For all the awesome content you make that's a kick ass reward for all the hard work!
That looks amazing, cant wait for you guys to post videos of it in the race ( Love watching all of your videos from Australia ), keep up all of the good work
Super classy of Donut to let Jeremiah and Jobie plug their channel.
I'm pretty sure it's a donut media channel😊
@MallocFree90 it's not donut associated. It's their own thing.
Good luck to Zach and Jerry with the new channel!
That's super cool that Donut will let you guys promote your new channel. I'm glad we get to still see you guys around and I'm excited for your new channel! I wonder if Donut will hire two more hosts or stick with Nolan and maybe we see Jimmy more, along with other Donut staff?
Thank God! Jer and Jobe were the best part about this channel. It's turned into the Buzzfeed of car stuff and I've been over all the "react", "try guys" stuff ya'll have been assembly lining like a true cynical corpo Youube channel. No bad feelings though, I hope ya'll continue to grow and succeed churning out the type of content you enjoy and whatever will get you the most views.
Donut changed so much, for the worse and listening to those dudes explain their side, it all finally makes sense.
Huge mistake and disappointment shafting the boys and not taking care of them or cutting them in on the company they were integral to making what it is today. Huge L not giving them any creative control and turning down all their ideas and pitches because it wouldn't make the most money. Of course, huge mistake letting the two best dudes on this channel go, but it's clearly the best thing for them and people like me who want to watch good content about cars.
O7 Donut.
For years on end, my dad and I have watched these videos and enjoyed them. We both love cars and it’s sad to see a couple members leave the crew. So long. Hope the channel is a success 🎉😊 Major respect to everyone at donut…
Npc ah comment
they literally said they arent leaving donut
Anyone else remember that guy James?
He was pretty great, wonder what he's up to these days?
Wait.. what happen to James?

beautiful job on the build guys. cheers!
Zack and Jerry leaving donut is probably a good thing. They pretty much outpace all the other staff mechanically.
Good for them bad for donut
Bot stolen comment. Secondly, they aren't leaving. They are just making videos when they are off-the-clock and separate from Donut
EDIT: Nvm they are leaving, oof
The mix of mechanically inclined and goofy hosts is what made Donut cool.
"Wheelie town USA... population boing!" 🤣🤣
Holy smokes!! Truck looks amazing can’t wait to see it ripping in Baja!!
Also congrats Zach and Jeremiah!!
This was an awesome build!! Great job gentlemen
Crazy that this was posted at the exact same time that Zach and Jeremiah announce they're leaving Donut and starting their own channel. Everybody go follow Big Time!!!
It looks like they did that on purpose. Both videos were scheduled to be available at the same time.
Their announcement is literally at the end of this video lmao
Shawn from DDE is in the vid
Sean Adriano* is in the vid. He made his name before DDE. 😉
Shawn from WWE is not
Sean starring in cleetus McFarland video next
Tbh before DDE I didn't know him @@jcedeno117
I knew he looked familiar 😂
You guys never let us down, keep up the good work, and appreciate what you do for the car/truck world. 👍👍👍👍
That truck is absolutely sick! Love Zach and Jer, excited to see what they do! I hope Justin pops up in some of their videos, he's a good dude.
Congrats to jerry and zach! donut is gonna struggle without you guys!
"AH I CANT SUPER GLUE THIS!"
Been there brother 😂
Same 😅
Finally ive been waiting for more of the ford videos im sure the work takes along time but this is my favorite one yet!
love the audio featuring the artist /w a little onscreen shoutout. great addition to the show
“I can’t super glue that!” Spoken like a true mechanic.😂
The concept, the banter, the b-roll all feels like a classic Donut vid. Pumped about this build
Amazing truck, but also so not surprised about the new channel guys - Lovin it!
And just like that it looks like a Ranger again, beautiful stuff!!
Just need a Mtn Dew sponsorship now😅
They need to hit up cleeter and get one of those quicktime XD
I'm assuming you just spoiled what the wrap is at the end....
Doritos too
@@MightyMotoCondorwhy didn't you watch the video before scrolling the comments and complaining about what you find? Your fault.
Your right. I'm a terrible person....
Sean is a beast - I’ve seen him helping on DDE - great guy to have in your corner
“We don’t have ponchos.” The next frame had me😂
Well done. Well done.
Very cool to support your peeps donut media. I salute and still subscribe!
2:39 DDE Shawn 🔥 📛
Damn, sucks to see my favorite donut hosts leave. With no more high low and no more series’ i’ll probably leave with them. It’s been real
There is going to be another high low series
IVE BIN LOOKING FOR SEAN ON DDE!!!! LOVE THIS GUY! Such a great guy!
Yall are making some lit vids!! Keep it up!
The fact donut them pimp there new channel says a lot , mad respect for that , its definitely not a thing big channels do when ppl leave
Love the videos from down under!
Great looking truck. Can't wait to see Matt rescue it ;)
NOW it's really looking like a trophy truck! Great job, guys!
Gonna subscribe to Big Time and see what happens over there!
I would LOVE to see you take this truck back to the previous owner to get their reaction.
I’m a drag racing guy so I didn’t think I would be into this Baja Blast project. I was wrong. This is an awesome build. You built a vehicle specifically for an end goal and it’s amazing. You all did a wonderful job. 🤜🤛🤜🤛🤜🤛💪👍
Got a feeling the writing's on the wall with donut
For your next build project, go even harder! I want to see you guys do a Locost! Love what you do!
Shirtless Nolan is my spirit animal
JUST SAW ZACH AND JERRY POST ON IG AND IM BALLIN MY EYES OUT DUDE
Best part of donut just jumped ship!
Jerry rocking that Aprilia shirt 👌👌. Much love from Italy
His new channel better be the best thing since sliced bread 😎
The Truck of Theseus.
The Baja Blaster looks sick!
Maybe the frame and part of the chassis is original, but it's pretty much 99% different.
That last track while showcasing the truck.. fyre
Beautiful! Im impressed

Just for the sake of clarity at 11:20 -> You can absolutely weld aluminum. You can also weld aluminum TO steel, but it's not at all an easy thing to do and they almost certainly don't have the right equipment in the shop to pull it off. Regardless, it's 100% something that can be done, but considering this particular application and how difficult welding aluminum to steel is (to do it right, anyway) then it's much simpler to just bolt it together.
I've been scrolling through the comments to find out about this and finally got an answer 😅. Thank you
Good to see Sean on other CZcams channels. I loved your work with DDE
always fun seeing Sean in videos!
Donut at 8am means I can slack off at work as soon as I get there😂
“Even a guy like me can handle it……… that looks like sh!t!” Haha 😂 8:35
So cool that you guys are building a prerunner , been watching you guys for years for the car stuff but awesome you guys took a direction in what I love the most
Hell yeah congrats bois, also hell yeah Sean’s a hell of a fabricator, how’s them pilots lessons goin
13:25 as a chef for 15 years, the only time I've ever been cut are with bread knives.
Yeah, nearly lost a good chunk of fingertip to one of them suckers. Granted, I wasn’t cutting directly towards my own hand while holding the thing I was cutting in the air like Simba…
Quite literally
🗣 PROGRESS. THATS WHAT WERE HERE FOR. IMPROVING EVERYDAY. PRACTICING. UNTIL YOU'RE PERFECT. AND EVEN WHEN YOU'RE PERFECT, NOT STOPPING THE PRACTICE. Cuz that's how you get rusty. That's how you get out of shape"
This build is so badass! 💯
Nooooo Jer Jobe U guys always rocks the Donut content!!! Sad to see you go but, good luck for your next journey! Instantly subscribing to you guys!
i clench every time Nolan starts cutting something
Sean!! ....YSOB! That man is everywhere! 😂 Good to see ya doing some fab work my guy.
congrats on the hood Nolan. Looks sick!
Gonna be really sad to loose Jerry and Jobe, but at least we'll get them on the new channel.
Justin and Nolan, up to you guys to keep the ship afloat now. Don't let us down guys!
I cannot express enough how PERFECT of a color that is. It's not so intense that it looks goofy, it looks like a variant of the factory color. And it compliments the yellow well
