00:00Guys, a couple months ago, I bought a storage unit for $6,000 in Buffalo, New York, that had this in it.
00:15A 1979 Buick Regal Lowrider. And the thing is, I know very little about making lowrider
00:20hydraulics work or not. But today, we're going to try to see if we can get the hydraulics working
00:26on this lowrider, because they didn't work when we bought it.
00:39So guys, here's the thing, right? We went to Buffalo, New York, and bought a storage unit
00:43that had a Buick Regal Lowrider in it, right? And the thing is, it's been here for a few days,
00:48and the guys have not got the chance to see it at all. So I think we should all go out there and see
00:53the greatness that is this Regal. You guys ready to see this greatness? This is hands down,
00:57one of the coolest things I've ever bought. And it came in a storage unit. Candy paint.
01:06Oh my gosh. Dude, it's actually decent. It's so nice. The whole frame's been painted. It's
01:11all been reinforced. Holy crap, look at the hydraulics. Look at the interior. That's a steal.
01:17Dude, look at the paint job on the car though. It's got 16 batteries in the trunk. This thing
01:21is so heavy. This car is so heavy. It probably weighs 6,000 pounds. Look at that. Look how easy
01:27it goes up. Damn, man. Oh yeah. Look, it has all this room for two more cylinders on the front of
01:36it too. Oh, there's fuel pump.
01:39Oh,
01:56car's like a kid.
02:09Oh my god, dude. Look at this car. This car is so heavy because the thing is,
02:21the hydraulics of this lift went up with it super easy. But if you look down, this is the only thing
02:26I've ever had that's actually bent the lift. The lift is bowed in the middle from this car.
02:35I'll be honest, I don't know what we're going to do with it. But I know in the short term,
02:38we got to find someone to get that trunk open so we can charge the batteries. And we got to
02:42make this bad girl hop. Wait, what do you have? We have the trunk key. So you can look at your
02:48battery collection you bought. Have you seen it works yet? No, I wanted to say it for you.
02:53Guys, here's where we're at. This is our low rider, right? Went ahead and pulled the key lock
02:57out of it and we had a lock spin to make us a new key for the trunk. So apparently this key
03:02should open our trunk now and we can charge our batteries and see if this thing actually works.
03:06Oh, yes. Oh, no wonder it's so fucking heavy. Wait, I gave six grand for the container and I
03:18bet you there's that much money worth of batteries back here. So there are one, two, three, four,
03:24five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 batteries in the trunk of this car. Holy
03:29shit, that's a ton of batteries. Oh, dude, that's solid weight. He's welded solid weight into the
03:35trunk of this car. That's why it's so heavy. How much do you think this whole trunk weighs? There's
03:38got to be 2,500 pounds back here. Oh, yeah, it's at least a Honda Civic. Long story short, these
03:44here are supposed to be outside the car. That way if you ever accidentally have a fire or some or
03:51and then if something bad happens, like the contacts get stuck together, then you can just
03:54undo it. But this is the main power wire for the going to it. And then this is a main power wire
04:00going to it. This one says 1250. That battery has 11 volts in it. What we're trying to do,
04:06guys, is we're trying to figure out how to make this bad girl work and it should work. We're
04:10hoping. Oh, was that the motor trying? So annoyed. Okay, hit a different one. Oh, it did this. Oh,
04:21shit, it works. I think the front went up like a quarter inch. Okay, go ahead and try one corner.
04:28Oh, dude. Oh, he bounces. Oh, this is good. Yeah, that's what I thought.
04:44That's the feel in the car. It's really nice.
04:48Yeah, it's real nice. The lift is just like, what is going on to me?
04:53Oh, there it goes.
05:05Yeah. Is it three wheel drive? Yeah, it is. Oh, sweet Jesus. Look at that. Dude, that is sick.
05:15BendPak, by the way, this isn't how we want to test out your lifts,
05:20but this is how we're going to test out your lifts.
05:26It does things. Dude.
05:37The power I have in my hand. Yeah, we should probably pull it
05:41outside before we keep doing this because it looks like it'll bounce good.
05:45Guys, today's video is sponsored by Upside. The Upside app can give you opportunities to earn
05:49cashback while you're buying stuff you'd like to buy anyway, like gas. But it doesn't just
05:53work at gas stations. It also works at grocery stores and even restaurants. There's over 100,000
05:58locations where Upside can earn you money. First things first, you get on the app and you claim
06:02the offer for whatever you're buying. You just pay for it like normal with a debit or credit card,
06:05follow the steps in the app, and boom, you get paid. Whenever we go out on road trips,
06:08we use a ton of fuel, considering this thing gets approximately seven miles a gallon,
06:13and it's really, really nice to just pull out the app and see what offers are available and earn
06:18some money back on our purchase. Upside users are making as much as $280 a year using this app.

06:31of gas or scan the QR code on the screen to claim the offer. Thank you Upside for sponsoring
06:34this video. All right, let's get back to it. Guys, here's the deal. It's been a couple days
06:45since we figured out that the hopper actually hops, right? But I haven't told Garrett that we
06:49actually made it work yet. So we're going to pull it outside. I'm going to get him in there with me
06:53and we'll hit the switch and hop it while we're inside of it. It's going to be sick.
06:57Hey, Garrett, can you drive that out? I don't know how to do it.
07:00No, dude, just drive it out. I feel like it's going to explode if you want me to drive it.
07:03It's not going to explode. I'm telling you, just drive it. I'll get it started. I just need to
07:07watch to make sure it comes off the lift. Okay. You want to run the screwdriver,
07:10wait and get that thing started. Oh, you got a new key. Oh, thank God. There we go.
07:14Go ahead and start it up. Weston wants me to drive it, so there must be something wrong with it.
07:19There's nothing wrong with it. I want to see it driving off the dyno.
07:24I don't want to die. All right, go ahead and just pull it out.
07:27Slowly.
07:36Hold on. Stop there for a second.
07:39Stop.
07:56You know, I knew for a matter of fact that I'm like, this is about to do something because there's
08:06no way you let me drive. Let me drive. Garrett, you drive it. Garrett, I don't want to include
08:11you. Put it in park real quick. You know, you don't want to drive it away.
08:14I hit my head. Okay, that's enough.
08:19Hey, by the way, I didn't know if you knew this or not. It's a bouncer.
08:22Yeah, I can see that. I'm surprised you can get off the ground with me, huh, though?
08:25Oh, dude, it will bounce. I'm not sure how high it'll bounce,
08:28but I know it'll bounce. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, we fixed the hydraulics.
08:48I don't know the secret to make it bounce yet. There's a secret to it? You just hit the button?
08:51I think there's secrets. You got to know how to do it. Actually,
08:54I'm pretty sure we can make it three-wheel.
09:03Unhook it, unhook it, unhook it.
09:11Are you good? Did you get pinched in there? No, no, no. It just welded the contacts.
09:16Here's the question. Is it three-wheeling pretty hard?
09:19Holy sh**. Oh, yeah, I think it three-wheels pretty hard.
09:23This needs one of the all hands and feet inside a vehicle at all times. Stick it on it.
09:28It definitely does need that. Whatever you do, don't try to low-ride it with the door open.
09:32Dude, I was so worried that thing was going to flip over on top of you.
09:34I actually still can't believe we found this in a storage unit. Guys, in case you're wondering,
09:37it does hop and it does three-wheel. If I hook it back up, I wonder if it's still welded.
09:42Okay. Well, that made it not do things.
09:45Smells a little on fire back there. Yeah, it does.
09:48Like an electrical fire for some reason. Which one was it?
09:51I think it's the all the way right one.
09:55That's wrong. Don't do that.
09:57There you go. That's it. You found it. Right one.
10:02Oh, the door is a little scuffed, but the door's okay. I was trying to hold up. Like,
10:08the problem is I was right there in it, so I was trying to hold the door up to keep the
10:11door from getting f***** up, but we've learned valuable things in this entire experience,
10:16and that is if you're going to three-wheel your lowrider,
10:19make sure you're all the way in it and the door's shut.
10:21Look at it. Holy f***** s**t, dude.
10:23It's not rolling. When I tell you it's not rolling over, it's not rolling over.
10:26There's probably 3,000 pounds in this trunk.
10:28Let's hope these are all under warranty. Dude, can you imagine the crackhead that
10:32rolls up to this to steal some batteries and pops this open?
10:35Oh, I know how you got to make... The back has got to be up. The back's got to be up for it
10:39to really bounce. Okay, so what we're going to have to do is we're going to have to take a lot
10:43of photos about how this is hooked up. I think our plan is probably to have to unhook all the
10:47batteries and charge them individually. Just need to figure out a way to charge
10:5017 batteries in the trunk of a Regal. It took us almost a week to charge all the
10:58batteries because we unhooked every single battery, charged it, and then hooked it back up.
11:02So now we're going to see if the hydraulics work without it catching fire.
11:07Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Something's on fire back here.
11:16No, that pump is... That pump's hot. Oh, I don't want to have my knee accidentally
11:20hit it. All right, I got to get my knee out of the way. Let me try this again, all right?
11:23Ready?
11:25The question is, right, is we need to see how high we can get this thing off the ground.
11:40Ready?
11:55Oh.
11:56Dude, we should just take that front bumper off.
12:06Dude, I felt that in the concrete. What's banging on the ground?
12:09It's the bumper.
12:10Hey, mom, you want to go for a ride still? How do you get it to go down? You got to set it in?
12:15Oh my God, the wheel's off the ground.
12:17That's how you can change it easy.
12:19Are you serious?
12:20I think we got to rebuild the pump for the front before we get to bounce it too much,
12:24or we're going to burn that pump completely up because it starts smoking every time we're
12:27running it. But...
12:28Good luck bouncing with our fat asses.
12:31You don't think it'll bounce with us in here?
12:32No, I don't.
12:34Oh, oh, God dang. Let me get my leg in.
12:39Oh, oh, oh, that's enough. No, no, I want up.
12:44I think it might be out of gas.
12:45Mom, watch it.
12:46Oh, ah, that's enough. That's enough. Where the hell do I get out?
12:50You can't get out while it's tilted up.
12:52I don't like it tilted up that way.
12:55Okay, sorry, I hit the wrong button.
12:57Oh, God.
12:57Oh, God, what was that?
12:59I think the switch is broke.
13:01We're starting it with the screwdriver?
13:03You got to make do with what you got.
13:05Oh, yeah, it's got gas now.
13:07Oh, it's pretty smooth.
13:09Right, it's nice though.
13:09If you'd stop pushing the buttons, we'd be good.
13:12Oh, God, that's enough. Okay, no.
13:17Oh, my God. We're going to drive it like this? Are you serious?
13:20Oh, yes.
13:21Put the weight on your side.
13:23What do you mean?
13:25Oh, my God.
13:26Oh, my God.
13:27Oh, my God.
13:28Oh, my God.
13:28Oh, my God.
13:29Oh, my God.
13:29Oh, my God.
13:30Oh, my God.
13:31Oh, my God.
13:31Oh, my God.
13:32Oh, my God.
13:32Oh, my God.
13:33Oh my God!
13:35Hold on, we're going down.
13:36Oh, thank you, Lord.
13:37There we go.
13:38That's enough, that's enough.
13:40We don't need to, no!
13:42No, no, no, no, no.
13:43Put it down.
13:46You know, listen, I really don't like being fat
13:48turning this thing around.
13:49Oh, God, Jesus.
13:50There we go.
13:52Why do we keep getting up on wheels on my side?
13:54I don't know, I'm trying to figure out
13:55what these buttons do down here.
13:56Hold on.
13:57Ooh, ooh, oh, God.
14:00Oh, wait, oh, wait, hold on.
14:01There we go.
14:02Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
14:06Dude, how cool did we look going down the road?
14:09Hold on, I don't think I put gas in it.
14:10It would just sit in there like this.
14:12Oh!
14:13Let me down!
14:14Put it on your side.
14:15There we go.
14:16That'll work, I think.
14:17I'll tell you what.
14:19It drives like s**t.
14:21Does it really?
14:22So much weight in the back and the front is so light.
14:24The thing is, right, this is so f**king cool to drive.
14:28It looks like it might kill me at any second,
14:30but it's still fun to drive.
14:32I never understood the whole, like,
14:34putting your car on hydro or anything like that.
14:35It was just nothing I never understood until now,
14:38because this, this is one of the funnest cars
14:41I've ever driven.
14:42♪ Bam, hit him in the face like a heavyweight ram ♪
14:45♪ Walk up in the place like, put up your hands ♪
14:47♪ Run it up, run it up, I'm going ham ♪
14:50♪ They all know who I am ♪
14:51♪ I'm nice like that, I'm nice like that, I'm nice like that ♪
14:55♪ I'm really nice like that, I'm nice like that, I'm nice like that ♪
14:59♪ I'm all up in your face, can't hold me back ♪
15:05Hold on.
15:08Sorry, it's a custom car.
15:11You like it?
15:12Hey, you want to see something else?
15:13Here, hold this.
15:14Oh God, oh God, no, you don't want to see it.
15:16You don't, no, no, you don't want to see it.
15:19Oh Lord.
15:21Don't ask to see nothing else.
15:26Oh my God.
15:28We need to work a bit on the power steering, I think.
15:30We don't need to go that fast, we're good.
15:33Westin, Westin, that's good.
15:35Westin, slow down, no, no, no, no, no, slow down.
15:38Let me find another gear.
15:40No, we don't need to find another gear.
15:41There's another one.
15:42No, no, no, no, no, no.
15:43Okay, okay, that's enough.
15:44Oh God, this thing is really unstable at high speed.
15:48I'm going to be unstable after I ride in here.
15:51Oh God, I hate that damn noise.
15:55We're just going to give it a little tilt, okay?
15:58Oh!
16:03God dang you.
16:05Oh God, now we're going over the curb.
16:07Oh Lord.
16:10You got to be careful with that amount of speed.
16:13That's where you got to be careful.
16:14Guys, we'll have to edit that out back there
16:18because as soon as I hit the switch,
16:19it went straight into the curb
16:21and something on the steering broke.
16:23I don't think the steering's really hooked up anymore.
16:28I'm pretty sure we bent a tire rod on the lowrider,
16:32but the good news about that is,
16:33I already filled it up and I can just fix it.
16:35Well guys, here's the deal.
16:37This thing is a ripper.
16:38This thing is fun to drive.
16:39And we might've messed up a little bit on the suspension
16:42and we also need to work on the front hydraulics
16:44so we can get it to bounce higher, but look at it.
16:46The hydraulics work.
16:48It's fantastic.
16:49So all we got to do now is finish all the small things
16:51that need to be done on it.
16:52Probably needs, I think, three or four new batteries
16:55at least.
16:56And we're going to see if we can set it on its back bumper.
16:58All right, guys, thank you for watching.
17:00We'll see you guys next time.
17:01Make sure you subscribe.
17:01We're trying to reach 5 million subs in 2025
17:03and I will see you guys later.
