You guys should be proud that everyone's epic project would not work without the expertise of your team. Robby, Matt and Fab Rats wouldn't be the same without you.

[@stevecopeland5367]

The wholesomeness of your channel is just amazing. Every channel on KZbin should take lessons!!!

[@scottf2919]

As an old guy EE (40 yrs) who has worked in a bunch of industries including Military and Commercial Aviation and has had the honor of working with some of the best (IMHO) technicians in the country, you guys do FANTASTIC work!!! You guys take tremendous pride in your work and it shows, I would put your work up with the best that I have worked with and you would at least tie! It is wonderful to watch a team that takes real pride in their work! Thanks for sharing!

[@gregorygene9003]

Robby's team should have seen and cleaned that radiator when they worked on the front end before they replaced the grille. That is not an electrical/wiring job for Chad. That is why I keep voting for Chad & Fab Rats coz they really know what thay are doing.

[@charleswelch249]

I'm just glad it wasn't near as complex as Matt's wrecker. Best part was it was running when it arrived. Great job Chad's family.

[@danrussell3439]

Bus was given the CHAD TREATMENT……….. all is good.

[@stanSnider]

Man,talk about quality work,your team never ceases to amaze me.Very impressive work gentlemen

[@floydstowe]

Chads Fab the go to team when your in a crunch wiring and mechanical fabrication experts

[@violatierwillbeprosecuted3392]

I fully enjoy the meticulous work you all do, and appreciate the mellow & courteous approach in Life!

[@ericlindhorst1320]

I'm sure OnX Off-Road is glad to see Chad and crew buttoning up all the electrical...

[@trappedinkalifornee]

If everyone had your work ethic and dedication to quality, the world would be a MUCH NICER PLACE……thanks for doing what you do, as well as you do it, and then sharing it with us…!👍👍👍👍👍😄

[@jodywells7519]

Anything you guys do is entertaining! Nothing better than a family doing what they love together! You guys should do a hang out with Chad's Fab giveaway

[@Kristof-Kay]

what would people do without the expertise of the Chads Fab crew, great job everyone getting the bus wired, awesome as always, thankss for sharing

[@rcf8367]

🤣 Of course Robby would be associated with all things short bus!

[@chadsfab]

😂🤣😂

[@christopherthompson4359]

Chad , you should be so proud of the young men your boys are turning into. Very skilled, but that shouldn't be a surprise considering who is showing them the ropes.

[@troysgarage]

You guys get into some serious stuff with tight deadlines. Pretty cool how you guys just dive in and figure it all out. Mad Skills!!!!

[@daviddill4314]

You have taught your boys well. You guys are the best. Still using the mouth light. What a great tool to blow out the radiator. Get'em Mom.

[@paulwaggle1697]

Might be time to build a bigger shop. Keep up the good work

[@clintonsmith9931]

Kids growing up. Getting very intelligent. Doing good. Makes me feel old!

[@bigblue1287]

Good morning from sunny Florida🎉. If I say it once I have to say the 1000 times Chad to the rescue👐

[@OpieDogie]

That radiator was all cloggigated!! Well done

[@elrey327]

PRAYERS YOUR WAY 😊STAY SAFE 😊

[@timelson6659]

To prevent the arcing you use a resister to charge the inverter then you can safely connect it without sparks 12V system = 7Ω resistor (50W) 24V system = 15Ω resistor (100W) 48V system = 30Ω resistor (200W)

[@moparman1962]

The whole Chad's Fab Team is awesome sauce. Good, correct, quality, do-it-right work all of you!

[@Scrambler49]

Hope the tires got aired up before Bobby hit the road

[@tommyjefferson9525]

I love watching your videos you got a wonderful family you guys all stick together and do everything together you all basically love love the same thing and you're raising all your kids right so I applaud you for that and I watch all your videos and I watch Fab rats Robbie Leighton and all that so I'm pretty much watch all you guys so keep on keeping on with the videos keep raising in kids right

[@johnnykirkland611]

Good day Chad's FAB'ulous family 👋 entertaining as always and ya'lls fabing is top notch 👌

[@birddog435]

Chads fab saves the day yet again! You and the crew are awesome!

[@gordonlitz4824]

Great job guys..... Attention to details, preventative foresight and just flat work integrity is top notch. I'm really glad I've found your content.

[@shaneharrison4775]

You nailed it stay positive and don't sweat the things that hang you up. Great job with the bus guys . Well done. Good eye Chad catching that plugged radiator a lot of time stuff like that gets missed and so easily become the next hang up or nightmare. Sure knocked it out proper.

[@williamj3843]

Your crew are not only super talented, they are great friends with a lot of nice people.

[@donwilliams3626]

Chad your head and shoulders above any of the others doing wires, cables, lines, and signs to properly mark what they are going to. I hope you are going to have enough time to get your stuff done too. This is a COOLbus. Back on the road again!

[@tdfulton2954]

Great video I haven’t heard how Emery is doing so I’m still praying for her

[@ronthompson2366]

The work you guys do is fantastic. You can see and feel the sense of pride you have in the quality of it all. Combined with the family... true family.. business and atmosphere. So great to see . It shows that even in a world filled with turmoil, as many things currently are. A well raised family of proper values will always shine brightly. The level of knowledge and experience and all things combined. Hat's off to each of you.

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

When are you building a bigger shop

[@Westerntraveler]

When they get 250k subscribers

[@jeromestrong5614]

Awesome as always . Keep up the Awesome videos. God Bless

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB EVERYONE!

[@davidbreaux5989]

Great job on the wiring.

[@KensHobbies409]

Chad. You & I have the same thing in common. Everybody comes to You for Electrical Work just like with Me. I get the exact same thing too. Only difference is Yours is more Automotive & Mine is More House Wiring but also with older vehicles. That's where Your 1 step ahead of Me with all this new High Tech Stuff!! I get totally lost as just like My former Boss said to Me..."If I put You back in the shop, You would be totally lost" and He is right. Same thou goes for the older stuff for the New So Called Tech's. What ever happened to the "NEVER ASSUME" with everything now by codes? In any case, Remember this, "The best advertising done always is though word of mouth."

[@mikepowell5766]

You guys do outstanding work. 😁

[@bryduhbikeguy]

You all brighten our days as you charge into projects with your positive attitudes. Not a negative thing to say regardless the drain on your systems. (I'll leave now ;))

[@MarkoMygun]

Hey when Robby came to pick up the bus ,did you guy's remember to pump the tires back up lol??? Or did he drive it home with 10 pounds in it lol. Thanks for the video guy's 👋

[@chadsfab]

Pumped them up 😁🤣 just done off camera

[@carmudgeon7478]

As always, everything is done so right. Even though I've watched this on Robby's channel, good grief, that paint job is awesome. I could see Chad's cuticles in the paint on the radiator support.

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

You guys killed it !! All this wiring looks amazing. The Chads fab team is an unstoppable machine. Well done guys !!

[@welldc]

Great job all round. You guys are the magicians who brings so many projects to life.

[@johnperun232]

Outstanding work and great Content and attention to detail Thanx for sharing your Great experience with your work Have a Great Day 👍

[@jeffreysmithster]

You guys are such perfectionists. Always a treat to see you collaborate with FabRats, Robby, Matt et al. . I look forward to each and every posting. Best regards to you and your family.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Chad and crew for the update on the Cool Bus ! You guys did an excellent job on wiring everything up and cleaning stuff off of the radiator ! Robby and his crew should've caught that while working on the front-end and cleaned !

[@rolandtb3]

Family effort, installing some new stuff.

[@michaeltablet8577]

What a wonderful family! Great video as always! God bless you all!

[@arnoldflowers-2502]

You boys are awesome.

[@DonAshcraft]

Battleborn batteries are top notch! Lithium iron phosphate which is lighter and far more duty cycles than the flooded acid batteries. Definitely the wave of the future! They warranty their batteries for 20 years I believe! I use them on my vintage camper restorations when the customers want me to build solar systems. It's always important to do the math for the cable sizes. Not the time for guesswork.

[@user-hu1xg8dl4z]

Thank you as usual as l excellent job thanknyou😊

[@jefftabor595]

Great work as always.

[@kentmackey2717]

My eyes started burning and itching just watching you blow out that radiator! It is a joy to watch you work. Pride, craftsmanship, and attention to detail!

[@user-gx4ke8ws1q]

So Chad and crew you guys seem to be everyones go to, who is yours. 😊

[@darrinstone49]

Dang you guys do really clean work! Very impressive!

[@MastaT_150]

I absolutely love it, 4x4 Vans and rv’s are just too cool! I don’t know if it’s just me but that bus looks really top heavy. Just the little drive around the garage look like it could really get swaying.

[@umoessinger]

Remember the little space above the bus! You will need all the weight to get the bus out of your shop again. So wipe the dirt off an put the bags in the bus!

[@lonnyford1186]

Professional done. Great job crew

[@ChuckHickl]

I said it last year, Chad has SEMA written all over him. Between Robbie's painting skills, Sean's fabrication and Chad's team for the electrical, all we lack is a good designer and I'm sure between the three of them they know people. Let's do this!

[@ChuckHickl]

@chadsfaab Well how about that! I'm finally a winner.

[@FmlyRat]

It's so cool to see a whole family carrying on the "PeeWee Herman" Hairstyle tradition 😅

[@georgevindo]

I admire you guys with your electrical aptitude. I wouldn't have even spent two seconds deciding it was all 'way beyond me. Great job though. I'm sure Onx are going to be very happy with it. Thanks for the video.

[@BigBadWorf]

I just watch to hear your words of wisdom at the end of the video. And to watch the wire wizards at work.

[@johnhart125]

A complex job, have wired street rods but these big rigs are amazing, your skills and knowledge really shows, as well as the passion for doing this.

[@kimetherington2252]

You guys are the team that makes the dreams work! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

[@stephenpoe2037]

Another great job ! Thanks for sharing !

[@jackbozarth4013]

Great family! fun to watch work together on such a big project

[@user-vx4ts8vm1l]

awesome work as always

[@tacticalleather766]

Well done

[@bradleyfisher3777]

Okay, you guy's just don't know what HOT is I live in Phoenix TODAY in my backyard was 125 degrees, not kidding, and I love every second of it, great video, thanks

[@TheOldaz1]

Nice work guys, never easy when there's so much to do and a close deadline. Love the attention to detail.

[@ramjam720]

Kehin, LiFePo4 is called Lithium Iron Phosphate, or just Lithium Iron. If you say "LifePo" it is to easy to mix up with "LiPo" or lithium polymer, like the battery in your smart phone.

[@user-dv5rb2bb5b]

The difference or use of words. Cable 3a : an assembly of electrical conductors insulated from each other but laid up together (as by being twisted around a central core) Wire 5 a : a line of wire for conducting electric current

[@johnbize5736]

Correct: "While the terms wire and cable are often used interchangeably, technically a wire is one electrical conductor and a cable is multiple conductors, or a group of wires, encased in sheathing." (from Home Depot) So... Once the multiple wires are bundled together in the sheathing, they become a cable.

[@garychaiken808]

Great job guys. Thank you 😊

[@peterdumond6999]

your 2 liners at the end so refreshing...

[@veetwin75]

not much of a layton fan so skimmed thru this video pretty quick

[@billbarnes1043]

Matt & Paul both are in shop expansion projects, Robby has a huge shop, even Rory recently relocated to a bigger shop and Tom Tom is working out of a bigger shop than yours. Maybe you need to put up a bigger shop so you guys aren’t tripping over each other!

[@steveschmitt5137]

Good job " Chad's Fab" thanks for sharing and Chad keep your words of wisdom coming , like them allot. 😊

[@dennisedwards1912]

You guys Rock !! That was Awesome!

[@garybradley8798]

Your family is awesome. Great work and keep up the good work!

[@jamesmaloney6096]

Explore to possibilities with a dc2dc charger. That LiFePo will love you for it.

[@billroach2393]

G'day from Australia... Good to see you using an excellent piece of Australian made gear (ie: the "black box" as you called it). It's a Redarc Manager 30 by the looks of it. The small black box near the floor that the battery neg cable goes to, is known here as a "shunt". It measures current in/out and provides info, including battery SOC (percentage State Of Charge). For those who don't know, the voltage of a LiFePO4 battery is virtually useless to keep track of. It's a bit like your mobile phone battery....you never need to know the voltage...just the percentage of the charge. Love the channel.

[@michaelc.3812]

A very good start to not knowing who’s behind a camera. Chad, you and your boys do great work.

[@FriPilot]

Beautiful workmanship! You have the best follow through of all your 'peers'. You remind me of the guys I used to work around when I was with Pacific Tel. The Western Electric techs KNOW how to wire a huge central office as if it was a piece of art.

[@geepeerces]

That battery is a Lithium Iron Phosphate aka LiFePO4 aka LFP. LiPo usually means Lithium Poly, which is a form of Lithium Ion. Unlike Li-Ion and Li-Poly, LFP batteries don't spontaneously combust or explode.

[@jefferyyoung6836]

If you put a window screen in front of the radiator it will catch the big stuff like the cotton, leaves and grass then it falls away easily.

[@skyepilotte11]

Excellent work, Chad and fam.

[@ronaldbrown7780]

God Bless You all and Stay Safe 🙏 Out There

[@traviscady8847]

Ask Robby where all the oil came from under that bus!!! lol

[@milomiller909]

Great work guys. God bless you all. Amen Amen Amen. ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉

[@gregb76]

Great job all. You all are the best. ❤

[@jangles1839]

I believe the ol' girl's got a rear main seal or something leaking. Everywhere I've seen it parked I see a nice little puddle of Rotella

[@ponypwr]

Hope to see Griz in action soon!

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

Mom could make a cookie baking channel we all love cookies 🍪

[@johnnymack8442]

With everything on that bus it's gonna need every bit of that alternator.

[@Chris38908]

That thing looks good nice job guys .

[@spiritwalker4816]

great video..details and all...this how it should be ...bravo and ty

[@douglasbrooker5834]

Even though this is my least liked project Chads fab is entertaining to watch any time.

[@taz58]

Wow you talk about great work and makes everything look nice
