Today I found a WILD Ram TRX crashed by rap legend Lil Durk at Copart salvage auction, unbeknownst to me, it's also been heavily armored! This is EASILY one of the weirdest cars I've ever found at the salvage auction...
We also check out a Durango Hellcat, a Trackhawk, a Hellcat Redeye and a few exotics while we're here!

What you found was a narco TRX built for the Mexican cartels. Jeep and Dodge vehicles can be optioned with bulletproof glass and armor.😮

For the durango, i have noticed copart is now labeling theft recovered hellcats as vandalism since they sometimes recover them without damage or minimal damage like broken window and the take off panels to disconnect the gps sometimes rip cables

That's because the Vins been altered so they put theft/ van.
Those impact marks on the front passenger side window of that Ram TRX are more likely where firefighter/police tried to gain entry and didnt know the windows were bullet proof.

I bought a low mileage rolled Tacoma with the V6 and a 6-speed manual. Used a lift to straighten out the cab just enough to get glass back in it and sold it for damn near double the money. It looked awesome. Every single panel was damaged so there was not point in trying to make it pretty. Mint interior but wasted on the outside: literally the perfect truck.

Not an expert but that maybe a car that was used buy guys a little south of the US or people connect to a business that requires a bulletproof truck. And it actually makes a lot of sense that it’s gone missing. It won’t come back on a market, it’s just gone forever.

I love the hellcat durangos, upsetting to see one sitting in a copart. Not a huge jeep fan, but its easy to appreciate a supercharged one. my dads been looking for a trx for as long as i can remember. Sick copart trip all in all!
It would be awesome if you guys restore/broke down a CT4 or CT5 V Blackwing.
Absolutely love the content
that Durango in that condition and color is amazing. would buy it if the theft rate wasn't so bad, to the point I would have an empty driveway by the next day.
Good luck finding the TRX, that would be the craziest tow pig ever.

Crash happened in Encino CA in Dec 2022. Looks like the TRX was going really fast and side swiped a tractor trailer head on, then went over on its side. The TRX actually came out better than the tractor trailer. You can find videos on KZread of the crash scene.

Eh I like the truck but I like the TrackHawk more. Honestly, that old Porsche in the background looked awesome. Hopefully it relists and you can get a chance to get the TRX.
it indeed looks like the window was shot. seems to be either a 22 or 9mm since its not that big of star in the window
I be waiting everyday for a new videos 😂
Such a cool guy, love watching your auction videos. Would be cool to tag along with you sometime.
Yo! Happy Friday everyone!😎💯
On that trx you WILL need a donor cab and bed, maybe the frame as well. My uncles 2018 silverado needed a bed, and cab it cost him around 8k at a shop
To make it simple, how many cars with blown bags don't get totaled? First thing I think when I see non wrecked hellcats is theft recovery.
I like how they dressed all the tires to make them look better hahah
I been watching this guy for a couple years and I believe he has some very deep pockets lol
good idea ram trx proyect , yes will need alot of work and time doing it the right way.
That challenger red eye....that may not just be light front end damage. For one, i notice the engine looked slightly angled, which says it might have been pushed back. Once you get under it, look for marks on the front crossbeams. That may mean more damage and insurance companies use that as a criteria for totaling cars out....depends on the company. Engine looks clean, but there could very well be damage on the bottom end. That bent rail tells me that there is more damage you cant see from there. Thing is i see so many Challengers with front end damage. My first, an 09, suffered that fate, so im aware of how this works. Plus, a few friends who are car guys said it could be pulled, but it wont feel or drive the same way again. Maybe you can fix it and get it back to factory specs. Id love to see it. Fyi, i got a carfax notice on my 09.....it was repaied/rebuilt and is owned by someone in Illinois. I wonder how they made out. Whoever rebuilt it put on a lot of mileage. Good luck, im interested in seeing what you buy and how you make out.
You should’ve did a review on that white corvette and that green bronco
The coolant return line has been cut on the Trackhawk, hope you didn't idle it for too long ;)
we need th trx build🎉
That Porsche next to the truck is beautiful, I need it
OTF jacket in the backseat too 😮
When a tire is spun for extended periods of time they heat up and can get bubbles in them.😊
we love the salvage auction
the bulletproof glass that you thought was bullet holes on it was just some crcks and bullet would do much more damage.
I see that OTF hoodie. Must of been Lil’ Durk’s TRX
You should buy the track hawk and the Durango and run em after their fixed see which is faster
YO THAT ROADSHOW KEYCHAIN YOU SAW IN THE TRX IS FROM A DEALERSHIP HERE IN ATLANTA SEARCH IT UP !!!
Your hard work truly pays off! 💼
Maaaan, that is one JANK-ass armor job, 100%. High cg and more weight on stock suspension, unarmored floor, engine not protected, no run-flats, stock roof and unarmored cab-rear... That's some dollar store/great value-style "hey, i know a guy that can do it cheaper" hackage.
Durks glasses and otf shirt in the back still lol
It's not just the glass, they literally have armored panels everywhere either kevlar or steel. Not something easy to put back to stock.
Lmao they had that za in the trackhawk😂😂
This guy needs more followers!
TRX has a Compustar fob on it too. Extra security. Would something like that or a kill switch be difficult to workaround ?
TRX, that'll buff out 🤭
That’s LIL DURK TRX he flipped on the interstate in Chicago!! That’s so cool u was able to see that thing in person would be so cool if u brought it
make a light weight armored panels for the rear bed and make it trophy truck style, that would be dope instead of a rear bed
17:30 those marks are from someone trying to break in. My ford got broken into multiple times from that spot. Pierce a little hole and get access to the pull up knob or whatever its called
The red SRT 10 Pickup you bought. Could that have been the same one on Sam Cracc’s channel?
@15:45 I'm happy to see in the last two videos y'all took my advice/comment and started buying race trucks / upgraded from a stock version of a basic truck and SUVS to rebuild or just scraplife them or a tow vehicle, not just passenger vehicle...

Swap the v10 to the trx, that would be awesome! Maybe supercharge it
There was an OTF Hoodie in the back of the TRX. I would assume that is Lil durk TRX or maybe even Lil Baby TRX
Hell yea that’ll be a sick fix
Luv that Mopar red Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk nice clean minus interior needs cleaning which no big deal for me & TRX shame got flipped over during accident even has CB radio neat
Those windows blow out when you pull the escape handle. When you drive into water or get trapped there are explosive charges to blow the front and or back window out for you.
CB radio is fir his security. They usually travel in a few cars and communicate via radio
That Trx gives me narco vibes w the bulletproof glass, cb radio and the safe 🤔

It's just a PA system because you can't communicate with people outside the vehicle so I'm gonna assume a 2 way PA system was installed so the occupants don't have to open doors or crack windows to communicate. If you pay attention you can actually spot armored vehicles in every day traffic. More common then you'd think.
I think it would be cool to rebuild the trx but easier said than done
If it has a "hellcat" engine in it, its almost guaranteed to get wrecked, stolen or extremely tackily "modified". It seems that way at least. Btw, starting a vehicle with that much core support damage is not a brite idea.. more likely then not, someone put the keys away somewhere to keep from more damage occurring
Is that lil durks trunk he filpped?😂
That box in the glovebox is an aftermarket siren unit.
How tf did durk manage to flip this thing?
I've been looking to get a TRX, sorry Raptor but TRX seems more fun😂
Hellcat durango was just as covid was really hitting, the plant shut downs and planned axe of the model is why they are so rare. I think this past year they made one last hurrah to cash in on that rarity thing but after that the best we might see is a 500 HP straight six with hair dryers hanging off.

Track hawk. I love those
Trucks not but what you SHOULD do is swap everything into a single cab! That would be bad ass!
the jeep with the messed up windshield probably went to a shop after a wreck or something to get fixed, insurance accepted the quote then denied sending a check later before any work was done and so since they had already partially removed the windshield, when they left it outside, it got rained in.
Did not know you could get SRT10 in 4 door ..never seen anything but 2 door. NICE
Good luck getting parts till after the strike is over.
lil durk truck. “crash the trx truck, had the phone in my hand”
The purple car I'm sure has significant undercarriage damage lt hit something while jumping a curb hence flat fronts n rear bumper cover caught ground on landing and popped it loose. That car definitely needs to be looked at the underside
That box in the dash with a microphone is a police siren with flashing light switches and a PA
lkq in akron ,,has 3 or 4 of these trucks they have parted if your interested
the Brabus, Alfa Romeo SUV and porches in the back bro. poor cars 😭
I seen the purple hellcat crash bro was doin a rolling burnout at a take over
Thats not a pyro intrustion on the window. probably a heavy rock on the roll over.
Holy motion sickness Batman.
Omg that’s Lil durk RAM TRX😮😮
I bet that glass held the truck together to be honest.
The red OTF hoodie would be worth some change 💰
craving the bronco the most.
It is impossible to defeat a person who never gives up.
Last day of September 2023. He’s coming to us from the future 😂
Frame is TRX specific (reinforced for going off-road)
A spilled jug of milk can write a car off, especially in sunny states.
16 minutes into a 25 minute video we see the trx... but he's not gonna keep us waiting.
I’m only 3 minutes in, but when you said Vandalism I automatically thought about fuel system sabotage through the fill line since there’s obviously no visible damage. Like sugar in the gas tank.. or something anyways. But if it wasn’t vandalism I’d take a peek underneath
all those amazing cars. that sucks man.
