Thanks to Turo for helping us get around Florida! turo.com - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Running into Car Throttle at a random junkyard in the The United States would be the most disorienting and random experience of someone’s life hahaha
Dude if they showed up at lkq I'd freak out
25thdrummerboy i was there and it was lol
@@json8426 No you weren't
@@tyler9703 maybe he was there but it is very unlikely
I would have to ask Alex to drive my car
Imagine being a car throttle fan in Florida and you go to your local Lowes and you just see Alex and Ethan in there.....
Car throttle fan from Florida here. That'd be pretty wild. But since Florida is literally the size of the UK, it'd be a long shot
that junkyard is 10 minutes from me lol... I was there when the junkyard pulled the miata with the hella jdm headlight into the yard....
That’s why that one guy thought he was hallucinating. ...because of all places, why? Why that particular place? Can’t possibly be them.
That junkyard is what helped me rebuild my 88 Jeep Cherokee and my 89 Jeep Comanche, I lived about 25 minutes away from it between April of 2012 and May of 2020
I know the Lowe’s and exit they took off the I-10 corridor
For a non-trained eye is just a car cemetery but for a DIY car guy is a paradise :D
As a kid and even as an adult, I've always thought it was like a treasure hunt. You don't know what you're going to find, or if you're even going to find anything, but the thrill is in the hunt...
oh yeaahh :)
As an American I Agree. Ain’t nothing better than pickin and pullin in a junkyard on a sunny day
+A true petrol-head agree
Rather do it in the snow and ice here in chicago
Junk yards are really interesting to walk through, to see what kind of cars are there and what random things people have pulled off
Alex's Customs also in some ways you can see the life a vehicle lived its quite fun to rummage through recepits and watch the decline it had
+mylesgifford8988 When I was a kid, I remember my parents going to the local junkyard to drop off our wrecked '95 Ford Taurus and my mom coming home with a bunch of stuff she had looted from gloveboxes of cars in the junkyard...
Not in uk 🙁
@@alfiew80 Yeah, UK scrapyards are no good for proper exploring. At my local, there were six cars the last time I visited, in two stacks. They were a Land Rover Discovery Commercial which had clearly been crashed; a Peugeot 205 van covered in moss; an immaculate 2007 Ford Fiesta; a rusted-out VW New Beetle; the bare shell of a Ford Mondeo ST; and another Mondeo being brought in when I arrived. Then again, I picked up some parts from a larger yard in Crewe a few months ago, and they had a massive pile of 90s hatchbacks, then a sprawl of parts ranging from the whole interior of a Daewoo Kalos to the shell of an MG Midget. The problem is that you can't just pull bits off yourself anymore, they do all the work and then sell the bits.
@@bluwusky5167 most scrap yards are gone these days i get all my stuff off fb or ebay.
DUDE WHAT YOU WERE IN FLORIDA?!
Yeah man. Looked for your Lambo in the yard....OOOOHHHHH! ;)
Tavarish damn I came into post just this, but it makes more sense for you to be posting it :p
Are you in Florida? I'm going there next year, hope your2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is done by then.
Tavarish!!! I know you!!! You're the one who bought Doug demuro's aston Martin!!!
They were in Jax i was there an got a pic witten
"We've arrived at Walmart"
Me: *sees Neighborhood Market sign*
Me: "Prepare to be disappointed"
why, is it worse then regular?
Vaidas M. Yes it’s a condensed version,, they only really carry the high turnover items.
@@VaidasMaldzius they pretty much only have grocery and. Few basics
Was looking for this comment. Almost made it myself.
That's a grocery store, the one that carries tools and stuff is the supercenter or the regular Wal-Mart.
Nothing like scrap yards! I just found an air ride bus frame for our 64 C10 Duramax swap for next to nothing.
Deboss? Glad to see you here!
"Louies" LMAO
This man
i was about to say that
"lou wees"
😂😂
YES FELLOW HUMAN. I TOO SHARE YOUR AMUSEMENT. IT IS GOOD. 😐
American Junkyards, I’m on it!
This was sooo much fun! Glad I got to partake in this junkyard hunt!
Underrated comment?
Came to USA from UK for Jaguars. GENIUS
Now make a video of the BMW manifold swap. You know you want to.
supergoat they'll make ChrisFix do it
mighty car mods will do it! and fit a 50kw chopped sticker too!
Büdös az alsógatyám
"Louie's ... Oh, Lowes..."
Welcome to murica, Alex
it's actually Lowe's. Welcome to English speaking countries xD
I like how every single pick and pull yard is like this. In Canada its all the same, same old wheelbarrows you can use, same exact sound walking in that gravel littered with random bits. A good experience.
that was an entertaining watch, a good change of pace from the usual. you guys are fun to watch.
My E39 is still kicking thanks to U Pull It lol.👻👍
Lmao same, those places full of e39s
Alex ðen ...holy crap I thought I was hallucinating...I used too do this with my dad go down the scrapy on a Saturday the high of my week simpler times ha ha ha thanks you crazy kids ciao
I remember doing the same when me and my dad were restoring a '69 Mustang. The 302 was busted and we looked for a 351C but we couldn't find one. But I'll never forget what else the yard was full of that they'll never be full of again. It was chock full of full and mid-sized Fords with 351-400Ms, 429-460s and we even found a 428.
@James Vickers Are you the guy that met and talk with Car throttle in the junkyard? . I think you should have a youtube channel with content about your car related stuff. That would be nice.
I live right next to that junk yard. It’s crazy seeing someone you’ve watched for a while going to the same places you’ve been going to your whole life
A great American past time! Welcome to American junkyards! When each of my boys turned 16,we celebrated by going to the junkyard.
Cop: sir please get out of the car
Me:I am to lazy you come in
King of the Desert lol
Car Throttle was in Jacksonville, FL
Why didn't I know about about this.
N4S Videos same dude same
N4S Videos I live in Jax
Glad y'all could come over here and see how we live and how our car culture is. I'm in high school (secondary school to you guys) and my friends and I spend our weekends scouring parts yards and the like to find things to make our cars our own. Safe travels back to the UK!
Man I wish that English junkyards were as good as the Americans
He lives in london
Maciej Pastuszka he's in the us .
Maciej Pastuszka Yes I know I'm from london as well but I was saying that I want English junkyards to be as good as the American junkyards.
JDM VR4 oh yeah
😶😑
Our yards usually do have more selection, find a decent-sized yard and you could spend all day searching
I really enjoyed this style of video - you guys should definitely do more like this... Wish you could get such steals in the UK
Pulling parts is one of the best things to do. Really cool stuff in Junk Yards!!!
It’s amazing to see how doing what you love and sharing on CZcams. Your known all over the world. Love it
It’s definetely an awesome day junkyard shopping. It’s just so comfortable being in those area’s harvesting car parts for whatever the reason is for visiting one.
go to harbor freight 😂😂😂😂😂
Juan Muniz and buy tools that are made from chineseium, the strongest metal, that won’t snap at all
Joseph Woda yup 😂😂
They are in Amarica not China
Capital V and the tools are made in China and sold in America. Like how Porsche makes cars in Germany and brings them to US. What’s the issue here?
But Porsche makes stuff that works
The beautiful (and awful) thing about the US is they waste a lot of cars and you can easily find some parts that you need, junkyards are not a common sight in Europe so coming across some in the US would look like a gold mine for a car guy, you can see it in Sir Alex's face :D
I live in the netherlands and theres a big junkyard within half an hour of driving... but yeah, i get your point
Nothing goes to waste. Virtually all the parts get resued, often being sent overseas.
It’s a shame how rare pull and pick junkyards like these actually are in the US
Where are they rare? Everywhere I have lived there are many in the more populated areas and ever the rural areas usually have a few.
Kevin A I don't know what you're talking about. I've seen junk junkyards in every car dense US city, and the area I'm in now has at least a half dozen junkyards within a hours drive.
Preach!! I so agree that having fun with ur mates and looking through old cars is the best to do ever!!💓💓💓
I love this, please make this a series! Pulling parts in junkyards around the UK and the world!
Awesome! I’ve been exited for this video since the post yesterday
Holy shit. This episode was actually really entertaining, with the Pull-A-Part junkyard.. Can you guys release the full experience? :)
Guys! This was genuinely one of your most authentic and fun videos :) Liked it a lot!!
i LOVE junkyards and pull-it-yourself places. I have a mercedes and it's much too new to get parts for it, but I still love going into those places and looking around, pulling off emblems, looking for wheels, messing with the cars. always some cool gems.
So you went for one day to pick and pull stuff them you returned to UK right??
you took the key.... comon you need the key in the ignition to pull off the steering wheel, that is why people leave them there... annoyed me a couple of times when I was looking for a steering wheel for my E30
Fastlane Blocker huh thats interesting i didnt know that
try to get off the steering wheel without key.... it is locked... with key no problem....
I’ve been to that junkyard many times and still go. I think it’s so awesome they chose that one.!!! So cool.!!
this made me smile. i love going to a junk yard an ripping things apart, even if i don't need the pieces. it's so therapeutic.
You will also lose low end torque with the m50 intake ln the b28. I have the same mod and with stock engine and just the manifold it only loses power
0:05 thought he was about to break into tunak tunak
lol
The first thing to go on a Jag in a US junkyard is the hood ornament, everything after that is a crapshoot because everything else is likely very broken. Hope y'all liked wandering around the US for a while, it's a strange place for sure.
I hope you enjoyed an introduction something we call "The sun", you don't see a lot of it over across the pond, it burns your skin.
A day at the scrap yard (for an American anyway) is like a shopping spree! It's a blast and you can always convice yourself you "need" that random part, haha!
Nobody told you guys to find a Harbor Freight Tools?! Oh dear. CHEAP!
Try pulling parts in August... In a black t-shirt, without sunscreen... And in FLA.
Last junkyard trip a few weeks back I got a gearbox, since my diff splines were stripped in my current box. I was alone with a 3.8" ratchet kit and a vacuum cleaner pipe which doubles as a pry bar and power bar. It rained a bit I just lay under the car and undid everything there while layin on an old door card. 4 hours later I had it out and $100 later it was in the boot of my car. It was a well spent day! Celebrated with a beer when riding and driving was done for the day. Today I finished getting the junkyard box in. My car drives fantastic! I did pull the junkyard box apart, cleaned and checked it was good first.
I see a lot of tools in WalMart. Oil filter wrenches, oil filter remover cups, wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, drill bits, handheld toolboxes, vise grips, C-clamps, tire pressure gauges, tire tread gauges, and utility knives.
Man you were in my town wish I would have known I would have wanted a meet 😢
IMO you should have left the key in case someone needed the cylinder.
Phos9 or the steering wheel
I find it awesome that you all came to my old stomping ground, that junkyard was where I would go to get parts for my 1988 Jeep Cherokee and my 1989 Jeep Comanche Pickup, I only moved from down there a month ago
Hey you're video is great. I like the fact that you were here digging around in MY hometown junkyard A-1 pic a part. Very cool I've lived here all my life. Let me know if you need anything. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
Chrisfix and Car Throttle have both visited Jacksonville, FL! I feel special!
I want to see the reaction of the airport security!
i really enjoyed the video. it had a really nice atmosphere. i felt like we are just regular friends and the 4 of us planned a trip together to the U.S. but because i couldnt make it you filmed this vid to "take me" on the trip with you. really really enjoyable content keep up the good work
Going to the pick n pull with my dad for old E36 and E30 parts was one of the most memorable times of my life.
And any part that could fit in our pocket we would just take lool
WHAT you didn't go to harbor freight, you spent 2x more on tools and didn't get the Chinese/ murica experience. Though now you can get warranty on them if they break.
Should have went to Harbour freight for tools
TheBaz568 they wanted tools that won't break on them.
Keon R. Personally I have never had a problem with Harbour freight and have found there tools offer incredible value.
Keon R. So they go to Walmart and Lowes like they're any better lol.
Harbor Freight gets a bad rap. For the price, the tools are definitely worth it. If you want something that will never ever break, spend 10x more @ Snap-On. Working on my vehicles is a small part of my daily life, definitely not worth spending thousands of dollars on tools alone.
Elias Sosa buy craftsman tools made in USA lifetime warranty! Harbor Freight is Chinese...
This is what I've been missing from youtube. No background music, minimal editing, just a few car guys fucking around in a junkyard. Good work.
Great fun to watch! + seeing Alex run around like a little kid was also fun. Unfortunately we
don't have these types of junkyards in Sweden :(
Nearly 2m subs!
Tudor Voicu Vad ca mai sunt si romani:)
Nearly 3m subs!
@@engineergaming4295 well yeah but that comment he posted was 2 years ago dumb bi*ch
So is Ethan actually a car guy and just acts for two guys one car and sketches or just isn’t that into cars?
Lewis warden lang yeah Ethan is absolutely a car guy, otherwise he wouldn't work at CarThrottle haha
He's just pretty good at pretending he isn't
he probably bought it as a joke
A true petrol-head you can be a gear head but have a prius. I would like to have a 4runner but the Prius gets super good gas mileage
He might be a lot like me - wasn't really much of a car guy a few years ago but grew into it pretty quickly (and with Alex as a roommate, you're gonna hear about cars whether you like it or not).
A true petrol-head Because he's not 12 and realizes even with a prius he's more of a car guy than the majority of the Car Throttle fan base.
You definitely need to come to Madrid, just 30 minutes away from the city center there is one of the biggest junkyards of the continent! It's called Desguaces La Torre and there is literally cars everywhere, you can take as much parts as your hands and pockets can take.
Great channel, love it!!
I have been to this exact junkyard in jax and love it
Imagine what the airport security will be thinking!
Yad Gakhal nothing, you can transport those no problems as long as they dont have fluids, fuel
Jay G i mean the reaction to them seeing someone bringing these
nuts ! :))
When is your American car build coming?
now that looks like a fun vacation!
Glad you boys enjoyed yourselves. One of my favorite outings is to the u pull it in my hometown.
Duuuuvvvaaaalllll
Justice Mott Duuuuuuuuuvalllllll
DUUUUUVAAAAALLLLLLL
Mother's day is in May Alex. You nearly gave me a heart attack 😑
King_tazz not in uk
He's British
Not in uk
I love going to the junkyard. It's very therapeutic for me.
I forgot about going to a junk yard and pulling your own parts and how fun it was. Things you take for granted when you move country
Is it weird for you to drive on the other side of the road
Daniel Posadas no not really.
Say hijack!!
Yeah they are great. I went to one yesterday and pulled an Eaton M90 Supercharger from a buick Regal
The junk yard is one of my favorite places, wish i could go more often.
Wait wait wait. You were in Florida?!!! I would of loved to have met you guys.
Edit: How was floridas sun for you guys?
Kanata 86 Same!
This blows my mind because this junkyard is about 10 minutes from me. I was there when they brought that Miata with the hella JDM headlight into the yard. I saw a 99 corolla in the video, gold, that I pulled the blinker off on one side but left the other blinker because it had no plastic housing around it.
AerisM Thats freaking crazy! I live in Winter Park so for me it would of been a decent drive to get there.
9:15 that headlight cover looks like the Japanese imperial flag
It is the imperial japanese flag
Great work m8s
How cool is that!
If you actually would have gone into walmart,you could have been on a people of walmart video
I literally pulled a ton of parts off of American Phil in the video. I snagged a black soft top, ECU, seat brackets, cluster cover, and also brought home an interesting find from in that very same car. Under the seats was what looked like a flashlight with a case. I pulled it out and it was one of those collapsible bang sticks cops use to beat on criminals. The junkyard just gave it to me and I spent under $100 for everything I needed. Email me at brandenprato@gmail.com if you want pictures. The guts from American Phil got my project mx5 running and it will be for sale before too long.
Branden Prato what junkyard is that? I need manual swap parts. He said it's in Jacksonville?
officialbigboiofdbc Ace pick a part on main Street. Right off of i95
Lol... “I thought I was hallucinating”... yeah, that’d probably be my reaction 😂
OMG!!! My hometown!!! That's so cool to hear Alex say "Jacksonville" lol
This is where roadkill built the junkyard cuda I think
Ya Boi no.
No that was in Texas.
This is Ace Pick a part in Jacksonville Florida.
Once i got an sti and I gave it to my girlfriend
Don’t get triggered, you will only get the joke if you have watched all the 2 guys 1 car vids ;D
You disgusting pig.
Haha
No lie when I when I learned about sti at school, I thought they were talking about subaru
Uncle T I'm actually 15 and the other kids tell me, that I'm the one who fucks cars just cause I'm a car guy, it kinda pissed me off
Bangs And Pops exactly the same here mate 😂
Annnnd now I wanna hit the junk yard!! Great video! Fun watch!
More of this!
I don’t know of any Walmart without a tool section
Hayden Ward Because that's a neighborhood walmart, not a supercenter
Is ethan actually a non car guy or is he joking?
Sean Beres no he a non car guy
00:03 Dude: Say hi Jack!
Jack: Awwwghh!
I absolute love going to the junkyard! even when we have a few feet of snow (like right now) sometimes I will just put on my wellys and head there afterwork and walk around. People think im bloody nuts here in Canada! Speaking of which, next time you come over the pond, come on over and visit us here!!
Damn I'm early
Oh how i miss salvage yard scrambling. Stupid uk health and safety regulations ffs
europe is a Non-car guy area :))
Yeah, walking up to the counter and being handed the part you need immediately is so much worse... not.
Coxy002605. You dont seem to get it....
DrewLSsix Neither do you.
Coxy002605. How do I not get it? The OP said he enjoys self service yards.... so do I. I get it. You dont get it, as per your post.
Let me put it this way, some of us enjoy the activity of going to a self service yard, you suggest its better to pay someone else to do the work. Some of us enjoy having sex with our women, would you pay someone else to do that for you also?
That was so awesome
Pull a part is amazing.
See look how sunny The u.s is why is Europe so gray.....
Because in the US the government and police like taking car's as much as possible to either hold for fees or just impound them
Not true at all, North Americans have it lucky when it comes to cars. Look at Singapore, or Japan. The only thing you might have a point about is emissions testing. Hey a $500 sensor has malfunctioned on your $1000 car, so instead of fixing you scrap it and let all the hazardous chemicals go into the environment, and go out and buy another car. Makes a lot of sense.
Well, I'm not sure how it's done elsewhere, but here in Chicago if the police seizes your car, there's an impound here it gets taken to and you can pay a fee or whatever to get it out. I once had to do totally unrelated work near the railroad behind the impound and as a car guy, I saw things that nearly made me cry. Cars, nice cars, being placed entirely too close to one another, the cars being moved around by a giant forklift with no protection underneath, car alarms going off as the car is being hauled from one end to another... and to think these cars are intended to be returned to their owners?!?!
That is true, but to have a car impounded you have to do something stupid, they don't just come up and impound your car for no reason. DUI, stunt driving, criminal investigation, etc. and that happens everywhere not just in the US. Same idea with repossessions, if you don't pay for your car, the bank will take it from you -- simple as that.
+ReadyToGo you forgot unpaid tickets / violations. that will get you impounded
If you hadn't noticed, the vast majority of the cars in that junkyard were totaled
Ace Pick a Part is my favorite junk yard. Got all my Isuzu parts there. Thanks for making us famous.
Glad u enjoyed your US visit...hi from 🇨🇦
