Unearthing hidden gems: Hacks to navigate the junkyard like a pro

[@Cbsaiyan]

This video should be playing at all junk yards on a continuous loop

Your comments on being respectful at the junkyard hit home with me. Every time I go to my local place I look around with a bit of reverence to the fallen. Even when I pull parts I try and cut wires to leave enough in case someone else needs the other side; I try and keep fasteners in the area or back where they came from; and I try to carefully move delicate stuff aside or place them in the trunk area (like lights, plastic trim, etc.). Bugs me so much when people go there and just hack everything up and throw it all on the ground. Just ripping bumper covers and walking over perfectly good LED headlights.

Great tips! I bring a 5 gallon bucket - gives me a way to carry parts, and some place to sit when doing things like pulling off calipers. The storage locker idea will 100% get your tools stolen in the yards I go to. But I have hidden parts when I need to make multiple trips, or if I know the yard is having a 50% off sale the next weekend or something. What I do is put the parts inside some very different car - BMW V12 throttlebodies in the back seat of a Kia Optima, for example. The guy looking for Kia stuff won't know what they are. Put it in a car that is relatively fresh on the lot so you don't come back to find the whole thing gone.

I would like to add, keep a can of Raid handy, sometimes hornets take up housekeeping in the work van or camper you want to explore. Waterless hand cleaner in the car as well as a first aid kit.

I liked that "find-a-wrench" tip and the overall "Don´t be an ass" attitude. Because of people not doing that all goes to shit.

Golf club bags have super thick cushy shoulder straps and you can usually pick one up for under $10. Swapped them onto all my junkyard bags. No comment on what happened to the old golf bags themselves.

Addendum/ alternative to the exhaust pipe cheater bar: A 10" or 12" section of plumbing nipple or a fan downrod is cheap, (relatively) light weight and will fit around a lot of lug wrenches and 3/8" ratchets (bring it into the store to test) so they can nest in your bag without taking up any appreciable extra space. The extendable ratchet is probably the smart way to go, but my easy to access Harbor Freight didn't exist when I was putting together my car / junkyard tool kits...😅

[@randomrebuilds]

Great video. Although I’d never leave my tools in a trunk - I do leave parts in one until ready to leave. Lots of disrespectful patrons smashing glass and making a mess has caused me to drive an extra 45 minutes to a better yard with half the price anyhow. Win-win.

There are more Ferrari's in your junkyard than mine ...

Great video and thanks for the trip down memory lane growing up spending weekends with my dad scouring junk yards then eventually doing the same for my various shitboxes as i got older.

[@ryanomalley430]

Unfortunately the junkyard I used to go to closed their parts store and a few months ago I saw a sign on the entrance gate that read in neon orange spray paint “ closed for good “ it’s a shame because my grandpa and I could get in there for free and get most of our parts for free since his best friend was the owner’s father in law.

[@davedemo8229]

OMG look at all the plastic bins. Now i get it. He has a bin obsession hence the small white one.

[@thedoubtfultechnician8067]

Don’t talk about my small white one. Only my wife gets to talk about that.

[@davedemo8229]

@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 excellent response. I deserved that lol.

One time I went to my local junkyard and didn't find a single Aston Martin Vanquish. My day was ruined.

[@ASDStudioMofie]

Can some one explain me more how these junkyard works? You can enter, and dissamble anything you like or what? Not from USA

9:42- There’s no such thing as a high quality oem speaker. Even the ‘name brand’ upgrades manufacturers rip you off with, are the cheapest crap that stereo company makes. Unless it’s Bose; ALL of their stuff is crap.

[@LydiaOfTheNorth]

No highs, no lows, must be BOSE
