Finally, an honest look at what happens when you buy storage lockers. There's a reason people just never come back.
Right. I used to build storage complexes and sometimes when they open they do promotions, $1 for the first month, $10 bucks to go to the dump. Lots of garbage for sure
@@highclasswhitetrash9027 $10 to go to the dump? Where I live it's $65 /pickup load IF you live in town & have current water bill, if you live outside city limits but in the county it's $200 / ton. If you live in different county, you're TSOL...
@@highclasswhitetrash9027 bruh that's genius m
@@burtonholmes4708 The idea is the rest of the dump fees will be made up for with the items sold, the $10 is to get them to give you the storage locker that they filled and make them think you are doing them a service.
@@burtonholmes4708 here in Idaho the base rate is $5, and that is usually a full sized pickup load
As somebody who managed storage facilities for 10 years. When it came to abandon units most of what you found was junk. When people started to get into payment trouble, they would pay up just enoug to get in, remove the valuable stuff and leave the rest.
Exactly
What about deaths and jail? Must be some process, or better salvage value?
@@zz99zzz Deaths usually involved family member emptying the unit. And honestly most of the people that went to jail we're tweakers. There units were strange, for the most part absolutely everything in the unit was taken apart.
My son lived in Phoenix for a while and worked at an air conditioned storage facility. People would pay a month of rent and then move into the storage unit. They would stack boxes up against the door so if you opened it up you couldn't tell someone was living there. He said usually the smell gave it away, though. 😀
wouldn't you? know I would too
I can't be the only person that freaked out for a min thinking someone left a ButcherBox in their storage unit.
Same here
I thought like what? He found a box with steaks in it, and now grills them? But they must be OLD?!
@@ao4v0ws yeah. I’m just now seeing it, shit don’t last that long
Lololol 🤣, me to for moment.
Nope. I freaked out too.
9:22 editors had a bit too much fun with this sequence😂
I was dying with the editing on this one! When you were messing with the lock and then counting the units was hilarious. Gonna be swinging by on Wednesday and Thursday hoping to get the chance to meet you guys.
That and the mixing of the numbers absolutely killed me. I hope whoever edited this video does so forever more.
I'm sure there will be plenty there, including you're family definitely considering TrashCans Are everywhere ofcourse lol
@@tbozzz8785 Got to see them leave to help build the bunkers but didn't get to meet any of them. Hoping one day I will get the chance to shake their hands. Bought a shirt and hat that are awesome.
As a disabled person I can tell you the mail jeep is a god send for disabled hunting where you are allowed to shoot from the vehicle being on the right side is awesome hopefully you can do a wounded warrior build
@heavydsparks
Cool idea! 😎
Great idea
@heavydsparks !!!!!
I’d love to that been done ✅
Saw you on sin city outdoors, and I wanted to say thank you for helping the boat guy out that was awesome. You guys are angels, subbed to your Channel as well. keep up the good work.
Wait so they actually did help the guy in lake mead
@@txxtoy7971 Yeah man! They were able to get the dudes boat back in the water no damage and no charge. Epic video by Sin City Outdoors and Sparks!
@@bobt219 thank you for the reply… I ended up finding the video and watching it….
Just found your channel today, and can't get enough. I love the content, the face that you all work so well together, and have fun doing your job. Thank you!
I feel that Alan's mission is to complete his compound by himself pretty much, anything you can do to help him I applaud. I wish he would get help to work on that beautiful fortress, it would be finished in a fraction of the time.
Scam
TROLL
Hi Alan
Who tf is alan
Permits
Honestly I’d like to see more of this type of stuff. Gives a nice break between recovery videos even those are my favorite it’s nice to just watch y’all goof around every now and then.
Much respect to what you do out there from searching for lost people to car builds and more....
If ever in Dallas hit us up. I'll Show you the secrets of how to pick the best units.
Dennis Collins I believe is into those jeeps. Worth a shot to see what they could be worth. Bless 🙌
Dennis collins would probably pay a million dollars for both
Don't reply to Telegram it is a scam
@@523FILMS holy grails for sure🤣actual miles🤣
Yea what I said from the beginning so look at the first comments and you would know!!!!
Jeeps are trash only worth scrap value modified and rotting away no money there
Haven't laughed like this for ages you lot all working hard !! Dave an Hans just messin around priceless boys
They were WAY too into that lantern hahaha
Oh totally brother like boys are so silly am I right or am I right dude
Had a stroke tryna read this😂
Dude you should just give away days to get to hang out with with guys! I love what you do and I have made my girl buy me Tshirts just to be entered in your truck auctions… yeah the truck would be bad ass to win, but I would be more excited about getting to meet and hang out with you all for a little bit!
After this video (and a few others) I am a fan! Thank you for rescuing this guy's boat. Sucribed!
Good to see that Alan knows a lump of high-yield silver ore when he sees a box of it!
ha it's just lead he says...and a loto silver i betchya
That's the aquivalent of Rick rolling heavy D
I figured the time spent in Cerro Gordo would've taught them something about rocks lol
@@creeplife2802 Heavy D did say Galina at the start, though.
@@quad55555 Where there's lead there is silver (and usually zinc).
I love the dynamic between Alan and Hunter... they make such a good team 🤣
father son duo, what's not to love?
I just watched you incredible men pull that boat off the sandbar. Thanks for the awesome video to watch. A follow for sure. You guys are awesome!!
if it was the Sunken Boat that got Recovered At the Bottom of Lake Powell it was Paul from Fab Rats and his brother Merlin that did it
Just subscribed going to start following you. Love the honesty showing good and bad of the storage unit business.
Dude of the collabs that y'all have been doing and what I really enjoy is seeing Alan in almost every video now. He seems so knowledgeable repairing things as well as grateful to be working with y'all!
Someone give the EDITOR a standing ovation for this video. Next level man🙌🏻 keep up the great work👌🏻
Feels like a child edited it
"W'ELL ADRESS that later"......You sure about that haha
You're kidding, right? More like cringy af!
This! I laughed so many times from the editing and what was going on.
@@gideonwaldner2670thats you
2:55 this transition made it seem like you found the butcher box in one of the units and was really confused by how or why you would trust random meat from a storage unit.
ok, i am hooked on your video's , you are all like machines, Dave is a one of a kind human being, but you are all extraordinary people, awesome work.
The CJ 5 alone has the potential to be worth a bunch more than $ 5000. Especially if it is rust free with only minor dings & scratches. And with a Isuzu Diesel cleanly swapped in it and cleaned up...... significantly more than $ 5000. I've been restoring or completely rebuilding classic Jeeps for the last 30 years. I have 4 currently and have rebuilt or restored 14 all together. From a completely rebuilt ( every nut, bolt & screw removed and replaced ) 1942 MB to a 1984 Scrambler. I currently have a 1974 CJ 5 complete rebuild restomod with a 400 + HP 401 AMC V8, a Completely restored to as new original 1944 Ford GPW using all NOS parts that took 11 years to gather what was required. Also I am the 2nd owner of a immaculate 1957 CJ5 survivor with 19,xxx original miles and a 78 CJ 7 currently building. You may not think so but you definitely scored if that CJ 5 is rust free and no serious body damage. Plus The top and doors alone on that CJ5 are worth a easy $ 700 - 1500 as is if not rusted through. If just cleaned up , Painted up with new weather stripping and window seals it's worth triple that to the guy restoring a old 1955-1975 CJ 5 who wants a hard top. The CJ 5 if rust free is worth a easy $2500 as is to a restorer . To me it would be anyway
Lol Chinese bots are great
Are you certain they are not just some old Mail Jeeps?
One was a mail jeep, the other a cj5 with a hard top from what I gathered
@@spartamx71 My bad then, I thought it was CJ3 or 4
@@spartamx71 Both jeeps are CJ's, the first one they pull out is not a DJ. It mostly likely has after Mark steel top for a manufacturer like the one's made by Koening, or they salvage a top from DJ. But it's definitely not a DJ, I see about a dozen or so things wrong with it that screams CJ.
Love the editing on this one, Dave's counting, the first lock cut, brilliant hahaha
Mr. D, I AM ADDICYED TO YOU , I WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME. MY GRANDSON GOT TO GO TO A BIG TRUCK SHOW WITH HIS MOM AND DAD. HES AUTISTIC, I STAYED WITH THE BABY. WHEN HE CAME HOME I LEARNED ALL ABOUT YOU AND ALL BIG TRUCKS. So I have been buying them every since. HE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER HE WAS 3 HE IS 5 NOW AND HAS ALL THE TRUCKS AND SO DOES HIS BROTHER. I AM THE KIND OF GRANDMA THAT WILL PUT TRACK ALL THRU THE HOUSE WHEN RAINING OUTSIDE UNDER DADS FEET THRU MOMS KITCHEN. THANK YOU FOR MAKING A LITTLE BOY HAPPY. Now I am going to have to participate so I can win him a bigger truck.
LET'S TALK ⤴️⤴️⤴️ THANKS FOR WATCHING .
It takes a lot of work to go through stuff, you donate the clothing and furniture to a church or big brothers/ big sisters or the kidney foundation so they can clean and resell some of the items, toys and collectibles you try to sell through social media platforms and of course the trash you trash. The only thing is that it takes a long time to go through other people stuff and even longer to sell it, but there can be a lot of money made in storage units through the collectibles left behind. This was a good change of pace for you and us, thank you for sharing this one with us, I appreciate it....Keep them vids coming....
Love that Alan has become part of the tribe
Heavy D you should sell the jeeps to Dennis Collins he specializes in Jeeps he loves old keeps he has a KZhead channel as well
Yeah, Dennis is Mr Jeep himself. He’ll def take those of your hands. He has an awesome KZhead channel and always collaborates with Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey. Maybe you guys can make a video together. Awesome content brother, keep it coming. From Mark, Cape Town, South Africa
i was just going to suggest something like that myself
I was just about to pay this, only a month late 😂 hit up Colin's brothers jeep!
I love the way Dave just pockets random stuff, just shows how down to earth his is and how the money hasnt affected him 👏🏼❤️
TWO GENIUS GUYS WHO CAN PULL ANYTHING OUTTA ANYWHERE PERIOD MASTERS AT ANYTHING WITH A DIESEL ENGINE
Plot twist it was a great investment either way because you know you'd make way more off a video than you ever would on the units ;)
They never even thought of that
So true. he's already made his $5k back.
@near sighted time traveler it's not that much lol. its not 2010 anymore. i
@@ragnorremix8426 of course they did.
@@maxwell431 All depends on the channel and the content. My friend who has a financial channel makes like 15-20+$ per 1000 views. And my channel gets like 1-5$ per same amount
And that really truly makes the stuff you get out of them units worth gold giving it to people that need something that have much of nothing...
Theses guys are Awesome hope you find a ton of gold..watched your video of you all helping the guy in lake mead..your Awesome
I love these videos you never know what you're gonna find in these things
The Chinese lanterns were my favorite. My Jeep guy husband says the top of the non- mail Jeep is worth quit a bit and then he explained why and I focused on Hans and Dave trying to get the lantern going.
THANKS FOR WATCHING🤝 SEND ME AN (SMS) 📩. 👆
Your editing genious need a raise ASAP, this was hilarious
Oh gosh, I think those old jeeps are priceless! People restore those to new, and come to Reno Nevada for HOT AUGUST NIGHTS celebration and show off their restorations! I would buy one if I were a guy and mechanically inclined!❤❤
saw this one too great stuff god bless
Thanks for sharing, as they say "One man's junk is another Man's treasure!"
oh my god the two fellas with them lanterns were hilarious ,they really should have there own channel ,good to see a couple lads havin a good time and not taking themselves too serious
Don't reply to Telegram it is a scam
Diesel Dave does have his own channel :)
These guys are the ultimate entrepreneurs I can only wish I could be as successful
One thing about these guys. They always make fun no matter what the mission is. 👍👍👍
The editing in this one is amazing 🤣
Man I’m loving the variety of your content!! So great, keep it up. Let’s get this man to 2M asap!
Dennis Collins would probably do wonders with those Jeeps. That mail Jeep probably has some value.
In Cali a mail jeep will fetch between $500-$1500. The cj5 could bring $2000-$5000 all depending on condition. The top itself is around $1500 and semi rare.
Loving all the constant content you’re the best Heavy D!
Fake & Ghy
Ok maybe just Ghy. The Ad revenue will pay the bills
Who the heck is doing the editing on these videos?? Hahaha the little tiny scene transitions are so well placed you can't help but crack up a little bit. Maybe I'm just sleep deprived XD
Nice find Buddy❤
like the storage unit auctions. its always a 50/50 chance of getting some value or taking the hit. good video guys.
Loving all the content your putting out. Keep it up brother🤟
And someone will say “I bet Dave probably bought these and put all this stuff in them and then abandoned them for insurance fraud!” 😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha aren't people morons!
Hahaha sad but true
Love Dave but I’m still waiting for the military jeep like on the thumb nail
Fess up Max. We know you're in on it! What's ur cut dude? 🧐 🤣🤣🤣
The brand new sumit racing sticker on the jeep was kinda sus
: Interesting Finds !! Thank you for helping out your friend recoup some money. 💯♥️
Mate this is literally my favourite channel now love this content
Whoever edited this deserves a payrise. This was hilarious man. 😂😂😂
It was good editing. Agreed.
More like demoted to garbage duty, because that's what that style of editing is. 👎
Storage wars with Heavy D! I love the diversaty of your content!!
Damn spammers
Whoever edits these videos, genius….😂😂🙏🏻💕
Awesome trucks you have, always love your videos, blessed 🙏
The editing had me dead 😂😂. Too bad there wasn’t any basketball cards. I loved that video where you found them. I buy them and get them graded and sell them.
Definitely a treasure WOW 🤩
best 25 minutes of entertainment i have seen in a long time...thanks guys for the laughter.
Honest Abandoned Storage Units. Thrill of the hunt is probably the best part of this.

Hats off the editor on this one, absolute solid Gold!
That old wood furniture could be a big hit all a second hand store and have a clean out for a percentage. People love this stuff
Your a risk taker and business man which is good it gets things moving along and onward that's awesome
The enjoyment you guys had cleaning those units out, Priceless
Or 5k
Great fun video. Love what you and your team do all the time. Have a good time.
I had so much fun watching this! Great score with the Jeeps! (And no, I've never watched storage wars or such shows).
DAVE! You gotta wait for those coals to turn white before you put the meat on the grille. Btw the lid of the bbq has a hook so it can rest on the side of it, so you don't have to set the lid down on the ground.
Do some episodes helping Alan with his compound, even if it's just to help him haul materials up there. That's what we wanna see! Watch your viewer count climb when you do that! Also, It's time to make a call down south to Matt's off road recovery and think up something to work on together. Once again, watch your viewer count if you do so! (:
Alan said that he wants to do his compound on his own, Matt id love to see a collab with
At least you found some reasonable items, unlike what someone found in New Zealand recently. They bought a storage unit and found the bodies of two young children in suitcases. The mother was in Korea and fighting extradition charges.
You gents are hilarious children. I'm here for it.
That Emerson Triple Play CD player at 21:56! I tested one last year, so funny to see one in this unit. Fun video as always, thanks for keeping things interesting!!
Big D. Dyno test a soundstream 3000.1 nano. If you want I can send you mine to feature. I'll handle shipping to and from as I'm in NC also 😎
Just love watching you videos. You guys crack me up in this one. That’s why I can do storage units as with my luck I’d get all junk.
Just stumbled upon your channel today in my hungover mess after new years. Ur channel has been 10/10 content all fucking day while I’ve been door dashing soup n smoothies lol. You’re great, ur whole team is great, but fuck does ur brother crack me up.Dave’s the man. I know content like yours ain’t easy or free. Appreciate what you boys are doin.
I have a craft channel, but I subscribed because you helped Craig 🥰. Restoring stuff is soo fun and I love garage sales and estate sales.
me too, I subscribed because they’re awesome for helping Craig.
Loving the content and the improvements to editing and camera work for sure!!

Back in 1945 a lot of jeeps were brought back from war and the US government had no idea to get rid of them so most were scrapped but lots of them were taken and demilitarised to be used for Postal trucks and ice cream trucks and for home use to! very interesting to find those kinds of jeeps that are demilitarised.

You give us some hilarious content and serious stuff too. Love it!
Tip: Watch LockPickingLawyer for tip on opening Master locks. They are super easy to open without using a grinder.
Jeep Dispatchers, originally had 4 cylinder gas engines , earlier ones had 3 speed sticks or 2 speed a/transmissions
So they’re expensive?

Yalls videos are better than every shoe like this on TV. Production and editing and being real is awesome.
Wow. So glad u have the money to do this. Would be so fun.
I’ve been to a couple storage auctions, the strangest thing I ever saw was three units had rocks in them. Nothing special about the rocks but man I couldn’t imagine paying rent and storing rocks
IT'S THEIR BRAIN!! SPARE BRAIN PARTS. Cause you have to have rocks for brains to spend money to store rocks.
Landscaping rocks? Maybe they got a good deal on them and never ended up doing their backyard
Maybe they are moon rocks.
It would be my luck that I would throw them out, but turned out some eclectic billionaire who collected meteorites just stored them away there and then he died. At $1000 gram, I just tossed out $50M… or worse yet, used them as landscaping rocks at my $50k house.
Was probably cheaper to pay for rent and leave it there than to dispose it? 😂 Idk at my local dump you pay per weight so 3 containers full of rocks would cost a fortune
I love watching your videos, every time I watch you guys I want to be apart of your friend group so bad you guys are the greatest .Thank you for everything you guys do.
Keep making great content 👍
The editing in the video is hilarious 🤣
editing team is on fire i love it so enjoyable and it made me smile and laugh :)
Now imagine how you would feel about your friend if all of the units had nothing but completely worthless baseball cards. What a friend!!!!!
Like Charlie's unit?
