3:30 Robby back in The Blizzard of 1993 on March the 13th i was almost born on the side of the road ran into a snow drift in the back seat of a "Yellow & White Chevy Blazer" EXACTLY IDENTICAL to this one you just bought!!!!!!!!! How ironic is that bro,?!?!😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@frankbellemare88]

1:19 build both th bronco and the blazer 2 of my favorite rigs all time they will be use and abuse both for the channel

[@dulmi2317]

Is there a way to enter the giveaway with no purchase required?

[@dcampbell4079]

Is the challenger lift giveaway open to Canadians?

[@seanchomse8802]

I live in Newcastle South Africa. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in August this year, and is currently undergoing radiation therapy in Durban, which is 350km away. I am lonely at home without her, and she has to be there alone because I have to work. I also have 2 teenage some to look after. I know that she is there to make her better. My point is, is that any cancer association that cares for or helps people with cancer are a God send. God bless you all.

[@DarKMatter.1]

Hopefully your wife gets better and beats this cancer. Many of my family have lost this fight and I hate to see anyone else go through it too. Good luck to you both.

[@davidsanders4703]

Love from Ohio!

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

My prayers go out to your family. Wishing you all the best.

[@Duce7753]

Prayers friend. My wife is recovering from breast cancer, keyword Recovering. Call your wife everyday if just to say, I love you. You're lonely, imagine how she feels far from home and family. All the best for you and yours.

[@joegraffhobo-elect9128]

I'm praying for you and your family.

[@TexasToastSam]

Hey! This is Sam, Robert’s ex wife who looked at this Blazer in the back yard in Frisco Texas for 5 years. I am so excited to see you bring it back to life for your beautiful wife. Robert just recently forwarded this KZbin video to me and I have enjoyed the sh*t out of it. Please post a video when you get it up and running for your family. This is so exciting! Blessings! 😎👊🏻❤️

[@WiscoWoodShop]

I love Hillbilly’s confidence. I love the way that he is just himself in front of the millions.

[@AFloridaSon]

Lincoln sure is growing. It seems like yesterday he was being carried around in a blanket, and this week he's running from his mom. Good to see Demri is becoming a car collector and getting the vehicles she wants. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@larryw.7311]

I love Demri, she's definitely my favorite. Please be yourself and don't change. She makes me smile the whole time.

[@sandyposey8074]

I just love you guys! I don't think Cody and Steve get enough thanks for all they do so I thank you! Hillbilly and Colton are a great team and Robby is a natural comic and shines in front of the camera! And Demri I loved your deep voice, LOL!

[@TexasTimelapse]

I can't believe you're not going to fully restore that Blazer. You're Robby frickin Layton! Fix er up right!!

[@p31952]

The boss deserves a nice good looking car. Do it right Robbie, make it as nice as you can

[@carlholland3819]

should he drop 200k into it and make it a sema show car?

[@StrangerDanger69-dt7yf]

Did you think that with everything he does for his own stuff that he would skimp on his wifes stuff that will have not only her, but probsbly his kids in it?

[@p31952]

how about 50K@@carlholland3819

[@user-bh7dm8dr3m]

Cudos to you guys. My daughter died of cancer at age 7 and let me tell you that was the most devastating thing to ever happen to our families' lives. I support anything that can help eliminate this terrible disease, I wouldn't wish the cancer experience on anybody. Love watching your videos from up here in Logan. Someday I will stop in and see you guys.

[@jasonmyers3358]

So sorry you had to experience that type of loss, I couldn’t even imagine it!

[@maxironpaw]

Hillbilly has got the moves. He sure knows his way around carb'd and points engines. Nice to see that in a young person.

[@GeorgeT6566]

Demri don't change your voice for Robbie. I could set and talk to you for days and never get tired of your voice. Love it.

[@americansfirst6610]

That Blazer is my favorite vehicle of all time I can't wait to see what you guys do with it

[@ronthompson2366]

I just hope you guys go full on no holds barred on both builds. Use all your resources and really just take two great vehicles and turn them into real classic and beautiful rigs. These should be keepers because they are classics and the potential for each of them is endless. Don't hold back on either build.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I think Demri will enjoy the ride and space of the Blazer more,and as long as it isn't Pink,I think the oldest son will be ready for a nice Bronco soon..?...

[@LarryYaw]

As someone that has 2 non curable cancers I have much respect for you guys and what you are doing. Much love goes to you all and to those that helped with the success of this project. I am a long time viewer (since the start of the Nugget), you guys are awesome.

[@krisnewman3202]

Robbie, this vehicle brings back memories when I worked for Vic Hickey in Ventura, California where we manufactured Blazer off road accessories, roll bars, swing out spare tire racks, front axel trusses, etc. circa 1970. It’s going to be a cool project to follow.

[@davidwallace7411]

Robby, My wife and I had this very same year and style of blazer. Had a lot of blazers but this was her favorite. At 15:28 those things you're looking at are called "splash pans" and came from the factory that way. I know these trucks inside and out, also had a 1970 GMC Jimmy 4x4 If you have questions I can probably help you.

[@jasonsainsbury2858]

That’s awesome I have a few trucks these years! Im surprised you didn’t mention that it’s not actual a 1970 rather a 71’ or 72’

[@totallyjonesin]

@@jasonsainsbury2858 If you're going by the grill, that could've been swapped out.

[@jasonsainsbury2858]

@@totallyjonesin the fenders are also a 71-72 if you look they have the blinkers holes in them a 1970 has them in the grill not the fenders ….

[@totallyjonesin]

@@jasonsainsbury2858 Oh good to know, thanks. My favorite old trucks are mid 60's Fords I've been driving them since the early 70's. I did flip a 68 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x in high school tho.

[@charleswinner6805]

Those 1969-1972 Blazers are awesome. The used sale prices have been going through the roof lately. Your lucky to have found one that doesn’t have much rust.

[@williamtarpley4025]

Been looking for a ramcharger the prices are 3 to 4 times higher than new that is not rebuilt,stock only

[@seanclimb]

That Texas heat is hell on anything rubber... speaking from experience.

[@billclisham8668]

That Blazer looks to be in good enough shape for a complete restoration for sure.

[@brucea822]

1971 Blazer? Dang, I was looking forward to the Pink Bronco

[@COM70]

You guys make an amazing team.❤

[@rob5529]

Kinda rare to find a 2wd in that good of shape.. be cool to see you guys drop it for cruising!

[@andybee4236]

Hillbilly is a really intelligent man who has learned vehicles/mechanics so very well. I'm impressed with your on-camera work, mate. 🇦🇺

[@wackowacko8931]

That is a 2wd Blazer, they are somewhat rare and hard to find now. Only 985 were produced that year, as opposed to the 4wd Blazer that had 11527 units produced in 1970.

[@jasonsainsbury2858]

It’s not a 1970 though it’s a 71 or 72 …

[@joebesko5592]

Not certain who has the bigger smile, Demri or the rest of the crew 😁 I don't know how Demri's going to be able to drive the Blazer and the Bronco at the same time, but it should be fun... can't wait to see which one gets worked on first, how and when would you do that reveal? Thanks as always for sharing

[@dariuskittredge2821]

Happy Thanksgiving to all of the family and crew of Layton Nation!!

[@davidweidner1675]

Good to see Cody again

[@Huntn366]

The thing you say looks added is not added, it’s a factory box that was added to give strength/structure to be blazer body as it does not have a top to prevent the body from flexing. 15:41

[@papatomsthoughts]

Love this, the inside is amazing. A little mechanical, electrical work and it will be good to go. Happy Thanksgiving to all of your crew. God bless

[@lowcountryrob170]

You got a Mustang for a gift, and gifting the Town and Country to a less fortunate and needy family would be a great thing this time of year.

[@norcoredneck]

Them Chads Fab boys are chomping at the bit seeing that Blazer.

[@michaelwpaulin4876]

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Crew at Layton Nation!

[@keithfrazier2558]

Bronco needs to be a crawler and the Blazer needs to be a streetrod of some sorts.

[@JABBO56]

Hold on there pardner! Demri can talk the way she wants. She doesn't have to change for nobody. ❤

[@kenbrown4954]

When i was in my teens , my dad had the same Blazer ..same color ...he used it to store empty beer cans ...i would drive it to the store ,once a month to return said beer cans ....a little back roading on the way back ..lol

[@jodywells7519]

Boss ladies voice is perfect!

[@guypehaim1080]

I'm glad to see this Blazer is an early model that has the removeable top. Now you can have Paul build you a roll cage and you can put a canvas top over the roll cage for summer time driving.😊

[@UncleManuel]

"Taste it!" Colton has picked up the shop habits from Robby and Hillbilly pretty quick! 😂😂😂

[@taurota1554]

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Dimri I definitely think that the blazer looks much better than the older bronco for sure but I can tell it would be a hard choice to pick!!! Definitely not for me though!!! I’d definitely pick the blazer for sure!!! I have always been a big fan of the 1967-to 1972 body style trucks and blazers!! Although the blazers body style started in 1969!!!

[@ggalland1]

That is a sweet looking blazer. Congrats Demri. Thank you for sharing

[@aaronscott2278]

Amazing video so happy you guys are doing so well much love and respect 🙏

[@jeraldhite9744]

Thats a cool Blazer. One of the best years for that Chevy!

[@dgrieser53]

Robby and friends, Your videos are the best. Keep 'em coming! Thank you!

[@paulrivers7248]

Lil ol Lincoln running around and talking did we jump into the future some?! Wow he's growing fast!

[@LostandRefound]

Love the blazer. Even the interior is good.

[@ruger8412]

Very nice!! That K5 is a solid build vehicle she'll love it! Never had a K5 let me down!

[@randyjackson8138]

Beautiful job on the give away and helping out with the cancer foundation, and it’s even better with the truck being my favourite year ever made.

[@wendellsexton9366]

👍 that is a very very nice Blazer👍

[@rcobler4374]

Love it! Memories. Back in ‘81, at 15, family ‘72 Blazer was handed down to me. Same color! Dad put glass pack exhaust, which I thought was cool, only to find out he did it to hear me come home. Stupidest/funnest memory was removing top & back seat, throwing 4 bean bag chairs in back, load up with friends & cruising thru town with stereo blaring.

[@bradleymadosh911]

Congratulations Demri on your Chevy Blazer those things are awesome. My Brother had one like that long ago. Its going to be Beautiful once yous work on it and Robby paints it

[@jefftabor595]

The crew and the Boss are funny and easy to watch content.

[@randalltufts3321]

For the love of everything bowtie, please check the TIMING!!!! The timing or a timing chain is about to fall off lol

[@Packs-zd5uj]

Good decision Demri. That year model Blazer is just cool.

[@wyatt1519]

Happy Thanksgiving Layton family and crew

[@chrisbrunson6761]

I had a'72 Blazer. I also had a '71 Bronco. While I loved both, the one I would buy back is the Bronco.

[@stevesetzer4308]

Nice video, getting ready to start on my dads 72 C-10 that I learned to drive in and I’m 61.

[@jasonandrews7385]

I love the Blazer. Always been a fan of them. Had a 1992 full size and wish I could get it back

[@schwartzenheimer1]

Good catch, Demri, leaking vacuum modulator!

[@roberthocking9138]

I love Demris giggle it makes me smile every time I hear it . Nice job folks 🔥😂. I noticed Demri wasn’t going on the first drive 😬

[@wamrfixit2]

Obviously she needs both!!!

[@Cj1985_GT]

If it was me, i would have put new Plugs, Coil, Wires, Cap, Button and tried a different carburetor. It wouldve given you a more in depth feel of how that motor performs. And if it performed well, id pull it out, take her apart and COMPLETELY REBUILD that motor, and maybe add a couple simple bolt on power adders because those years didnt have the most. And then after that, id have the Transmission overhauled as well. Just me though. I took an interest in Transmissions once i tore apart an RE5R05A out of my 06 Xterra and i find everything about them super fascinating.

[@danafaulhaber334]

@RobbyLayton Thats an awesome blazer you found for Demri an since its a Texas vehicle its rather rust free unlike the vehicles from Cleveland Ohio (where im from) but ive found if you dont drive your vehicle during the winter when the roads are full of salt they dont rust out or atleast not nearly as quick bc I have a '98 Prelude thats damn near rust free bc it doesnt see the roads during winters.. Thats awesome the blazer runs & drives so now yall can just do a quickish cleanup/fix wiring & engine tune up & do a lil bidy work with a nice paint job on the blazer so the boss has something sweet to cruise around in while the bronco is getting rebuilt then sometime after the bronco build yall can do a full rebuild of the blazer if/when its needed.

[@alsome350]

Demry has great taste in vehicles, Blazer's are awesome vehicles!

[@danb5489]

It's just my preference for fords but even if I was a chevy fan, I'd still get the Bronco.

[@TJSmith-rx1jt]

I’m glad she went with a blazer !!

[@stevewillden3519]

Demri don't let Robbie Ford prejudice keep you from doing the Bronco. Plus with the Bronco he'll never be stealing it because it's a Ford.

[@JamesMayes-ty6me]

Had 1972 blazer bought new . Same color. Was so good my boss at the time bought and gave new Chevy pickup. Good ride enjoy.

[@travismiller9213]

What!!!! No way!!! I love that guy.

[@Bradleehage]

Great video today guys I love classic trucks.

[@collinsmith9941]

2 of the absolute greatest trucks (SUVs) of all time for sure

[@garyhopkinssr8561]

Right on Robbie that's a really good bye if you can find a 70 Blazer and that kind of condition you're lucky man I wish I could have found it I love the Blazers she's going to enjoy that thanks for the video

[@thealien6900]

2 Wheel Dr. factory AC blazers are very rare. I have a 1972 that I put an LS3 and a 4L60 in along with a full QA1 suspension. With the short wheel base, the coil, sprung Suspension rides so much better than the leafsprung 4 x 4. I think this is the better vehicle than the bronco. I cannot wait to see what you guys do with it.

[@joshshelton796]

That 71 Bronco was so much cooler! Awesome video guys!

[@briangalloway3684]

Whoever changed the title and thumbnail... Good Job!!! now that is S tier!

[@briananderson5284]

Awesome love the Blazer for the BOSS can't wait to see the transformation 😊 love your Channel keep up the Amazing Work!!! And Happy Thanksgiving to all !!

[@Jim-fe2xz]

After sitting all that time I'm amazed that holley didn't completely flood the engine! The o rings on the float needle assemblies always shrink or crack on mine after sitting LOL!

[@C10Build]

Can't wait to see what you do with it. I just bought a 1970 Chevy C10.

[@timvanasen9822]

Awesome Demri has a K5 Blazer that's a great body style for any color or a 2 tone pink & white yes I'm appeasing the color she wants, great video thanks for sharing ❤️😉👍

[@deathlands10]

Finally a real refurb to look forward to! No offense to HB bronco or the limo thing, but love to see your work like the golden nugget ( wait was that the name…)

[@michaelmcclure8673]

That's going to be a classic ride for Miss Demri. 😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@dcampbell4079]

The main reason I watch is to hear you all. All your voices are perfect. The way you all talk to the viewers is perfect. But you definitely need to listen to all the expert communicators out there with the pleasant voices, when they tell you all that you don’t talk right or have the perfect tone to your voices.

[@trbeme1346]

Most likely you will not read this comment or if you do I won't follow up. This is perhaps my most favorite video. When I was 16 my mom and step-dad gave me a 1972 Chevy Blazer that was pretty much all original minus the front seats. I had the Blazer for about 9 years and over the years I had rebuilt the engine, put HEI ignition in it, 3 core radiator, dual batteries with an isolater for my stereo, redid the fiberglass top, shocks, tires, transmission etc. Then it sat for a couple of years due to me being in college and gas prices rising. I kick myself for selling it. Want one now but they are super spendy compared to the 4500 I sold it for in 1997.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome video! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! EVERYONE! 😊

[@rainerskogberg7371]

1986 i have a Blazer from 73 used by Florida cuost guard, Nice with 4 wd and ful cab.

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

The title had me thinking, Oh no shop fire 2.0. So glad that was not the case. Hope there is always a fire extinguisher in the proper places. Thanks for sharing.

[@wolfgangricky]

Sweet, Hers & Hers. Matching White & Pink , Blazer made for street & Bronco (LS) whacked out for Rock Crawling. Well, that's a suggestion, yours, do what you want. Way to Go Demri, Sweet Rides. Ty for taking us along

[@kesterhively8773]

What a sweetheart man 2wd I love it awesome ride I wouldn't do anything but clean up and belts hose's and brakes and cruze
