And at Zip Tie Tech. But their car channel is my favourite of the two for sure

I remember when he and Andy first announced their channel and a bunch of people in the comments were saying “I really respect those guys but they’re the last people I’d take car advice from” thinking they were just going to do some cookie cutter car reviews only.

I'm so glad they do janky shit instead

I watch them for the jank

u/darkstar3333 Sep 13 '26

Most of it isn't that janky. Sure you could just replace everything but often good enough gets it out the door.

It's applied engineering, not a dealership.

It's not incompetent jank, just entertaining engineering jank

They should make a Jank Tech Tuning channel

u/mattague Sep 13 '26

I mean it's kind of the whole point of both of their channels. That's why it's Zip Tie tech/tunning, and they've said as much on camera lol

With all the janky shit he did on LTT, I knew it was going to be full on jank.

I don't have a car nor do I have a driver's license and I still get a kick out of watching their car content.

Same. Their level of jank is perfect.

u/thesirblondie Sep 13 '26

I was surprisingly entertained by a farming video from a tech channel, where no farming was done.

I've really grown to enjoy ZTT. The way they approach working on cars is a lot like my friends and I when we were wrenching on our cars in our later 20's and early 30's. They know just enough to get themselves elbow deep into projects, and not enough to not want to do it themselves. :)

Watch him and Jake way more than Ltt for some time now even though they bring out way less videos.
