Fab rats roll over at wrecker games in Sand Hollow Utah

[@bradleymadosh911]

FabRats are my Favorite Channel to watch. Ben and Paul do some awesome work.

[@meforsure5221]

This tow truck Olympics idea is awesome. Good job to all the tow truck teams.

[@genejones7124]

Ben should get the trophy for bravery, stamina, and pure guts to stick with his job.

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

Paul continuing to pull then going to re rig while Ben is hanging upside down is just the kind of brotherly love I remember lol

[@tracyknight5130]

Attaboy Paul! Ben, you da man! These two brothers will be telling this story for the rest of their lives, lol. Brothers, ya just can't beat'em.

[@javabeanz8549]

I noticed that Paul said he was the one upside down last time. What we didn't hear is some of the things they were up to in their younger days ;o)

That was fun. Get the job done however. Thanks for sharing.

Great time had by all, looking forward to next year

[@paulhall170]

To be fair, the other guys have a lot more experience with a tow truck than Paul does; but he's an old derby driver so full-throttle is the default!

[@turobash0]

Paul has even said it himself and did say he looking forward to the challenge doing this sort of thing

[@trakyboy5128]

True that !!!!!

[@dudleybaggerman9574]

To be Fair 😂 Paul is STUPID With Mental Problems !! Paul Did Not check on his brother First after Paul Rolled the car ben was in !! Now wat type of person Is that ,,, STUPID AND MENTAL ILL

[@Alexbcrawling]

Well said

[@paulthiessen6444]

If they weren’t old derby guys I would say they were idiots. Now they are qualified to perform questionable decisions.

[@theburtseoni]

Ole Ben rode that out like he did it every day! What a great guy!

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

I guess this confirms what Matt said about not using Paul as a spotter. He doesn't care if stuff gets wrecked. Once the car was right side up again, Ben just hops back in like nothing happened.

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Great video; thanks for sharing!

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

Ben is an unsung hero but I have a feeling that's not his first roll over. Him and Paul have done it all over the years even before youtube. Great team of brotherly love between them.

[@06colkurtz]

Extra points for rolling over

[@paengsolo2047]

Paul uses his derby skills haha

[@Christopher-vf6kx]

Matt said he would fill the panels with cement for Rory, think he snuck a quick swap with Paul. Haha. Nice wheelie!

[@trakyboy5128]

I c Paul is feeling the pressure of a audience !!!

[@spjalink]

IDK about you, but if I call for a rescue I hope to see Trail Mater coming to pick me up.

Excellent video!

[@mosesmendez5985]

Ben needs a new pair of shorts 🤣🤣🤣 should have put on his brown pants 🤣

[@davidbeattie4294]

Rolling the vehicle in tow was just a minor problem and didn't slow Paul and Ben down much at all. I'm sure those extra scuffs would buff right out. No one looks at the roof anyways.

[@justinowens9323]

5:59 y’all remember in a interview on someone’s channel they went to fab rats and Ben said Paul being younger brother that they put him threw it as a kid so now Paul just getting Ben back as adults 😂😂😂

must have been one of the most gentlel rollovers ever

[@scottrittenhouse3131]

That wrecker sounds pretty healthy!!

[@markreed2576]

Too many idiots walking around with cameras and obstructing the contestants path. The area should have been roped off at each venue. I’m disappointed in the lack of safety. It shows the ignorance of the public and planners.

[@gruntengr4197]

Next time : Helmets, NeckSupport, 5/6 point harness, reinforced gloves, goggles.

[@kryan318]

think paul got a little frustrated with his progress. ben was having too much fun

[@teamidris]

What the hell was that :D Paul is a very good welder ;p)

[@theramblingeorgian1774]

If it's not destroyed when Paul arrives, it will be when he leaves.

[@Grayhook1]

Does his boom lower? If someone told Paul to lower the boom, I think he’d reflexively stomp the go pedal😅 Pretty good challenge either way.

[@AcePaul]

It does, and he would.

[@bshinn4884]

Guess next games they're gonna have to make Paul's vehicle with a harness and roll cage😂

[@lockedin60]

I had a felling that the people who had the most experience with their Tow trucks were going to be more successful then the other guys. Length of time with your rig you should know the ends and outs. Matt may do better because of the sheer weight of his rig.

[@bshinn4884]

I had originally thought the weight would've been detrimental but turned out not to be a big factor at all

[@benderbender1233]

👌 minty

[@Heysupdan]

Next time, it would be great to get play by play and color announcing!

[@KrisD007]

Matt will be loading videos soon! After he does, the competitors are allowed to share their videos. Attendees were asked not to post long videos until Matt started. Stay tuned, you will get more details. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SamCanada1]

👍

[@hellohun7331]

So how do you pull out a vehicle with his breaks on? Unless you have the world’s largest off road wrecker.

[@xskrym]

How to get men to clean after themselves: Take a monster truck, roll over a junk car...

[@ZootSuitCooter]

3 cheers for Ben!!

[@larsharris]

I doubt there will be another event like this. People are way too close. Crowds will never be allowed so close. Just hope nobody gets hurt.

[@fjnomad]

Hope the next one they put some yellow tapes to organize the area.. too crowded

[@cactustweeter2890]

Ben needed a helmet for all the abuse. Also who's idea was it to pull it backwards anyway?

[@PatrickPoet]

Did the outside help flipping the car dq Fab Rats?

[@twwtb]

Keep your arms and hands inside the ride at all times!

[@randyweishaar3316]

[@jackmorrison8269]

I like how none of the drivers or crash test drivers wore helmets in this event at all. Seems common sense but oh well. 👍 maybe some stakes and ribbons to keep the crowd from getting squished maybe.

[@lopezlopez7132]

Anybody can roll over while driving or pulling a car... but what Paul did AFTER the car was on its side, was a little strange. Why did he keep pulling instead of going around and pull from the other side, thus getting the car on its wheels?..

[@KrisD007]

Paul might explain on his channel when Matt gives the ok to competitors to release footage.

[@lopezlopez7132]

@@KrisD007 Actually I was worried if I was in trouble for watching some videos without Matt's approval... Yes, I think I am in trouble because I carry a spare tire in my car, which is against Matt's rules...

the occupants of the towed vehicles should have had crash helmets

[@edzimdahl1158]

Haven't been seeing Eric bsf, heard elsewhere he tore his front axle off? Anyone?

[@johnhpalmer6098]

He didn't totally tear it off, just a shackle broke, causing the axle to shift and the drive shaft to come out. I think they got it fixed.

Don't get why there is so much trash in these tow cars! Lol GO BEN

[@markwebb2502]

Ben is crazy for trusting his brother

[@chaddesantis4191]

If they hooked to the low side without the bridle it wouldn't have rolled .

[@chaddesantis4191]

5:54 - remove top J hook. lower the boom, tip it back by extending the boom into the roof. When it lands, have co pilot lock E- brake if it works, service brakes if it doesn't, mash go pedal and spin it. All that can be done with more finesse and winching, but I don't think that's Paul's style.

[@Jhogge85]

Why did ben stay in the vehicle? that seemed like an accident waiting to happen

[@rctjacksonville]

All the wreckers except Matt's used a rope and pulled the vehicles up as would any off road vehicle for assistance. This means that only the WRECKER Matt used actually performed as a wrecker. Since this was the Wrecker Games, I would contend the other VEHICLES should be disqualified for not being wreckers by their own actions.

[@Mark_Bridges]

Nope. Rory and Eric also had the boom attached like a standard wrecker.

[@rctjacksonville]

@Mark Bridges not to run this in the ground like a detctive as it doesnt really matter, but if you watch Anthony Dunsters video you will see around 41 min 17 sec in Rory clearly uses a rope to assist the boom cable which he had begun using as a rope pull because keeping the vehicle on the metal tripod Bridle made it too close to make it up obstacles. So, yes, he was using the boom but not as a wrecker but a tow hook for a cable. Without the Bridal connected the vehicle moves freely and thats not wreckering thats pulling because it doesnt allow for wheels to be missing on the recovery. If anyone of the vehicles was missing front or rear wheels, only Matt would have been able to wrecker them without severe damage. All of the nonfabricated frame vehicles used rope because they were not engineered for this type of serious rock crawling. Matts rig was completely designed and purpose built for this.

[@larryjohns8823]

The riders in the towed vehicle need to be wearing helmets (safety first)!

[@dazzleyd]

All the youtubers diving in with their go pros then... oh maybe we should get Ben out

[@alans6767]

Fab Rats is a hell of a fabricator but at the same time he is a hack with some of the stuff he does. His driving in this video exemplifies that.

[@josephprentice8354]

To be fair how many built fj cruisers and built square body's do you own?? You ain't built anything if you've never had to adapt. Pull adapts and overcomes but again how well is your KZbin business and KZbin built vehicle selection???

[@alans6767]

@Joseph Prentice I'm not trying to bash the guy that's why I started my comment like I did. I'm just trying to say he has that Demolition Derby mentality, and it comes out with some of the stuff he does. And no, I don't have a KZbin channel because I'm retired and that would be work. But rolling the vehicle you're supposed to be recovering? That is adapting and overcoming?

[@ryana.miller8260]

​@ALAN S I know what you mean! Paul is a very talented fabricator and puts out some really nice work! When he cuts corners and hacks something together, he does so consciously. His decisions are based on what the needs of the situation are and he doesn't waste his time making everything perfect when perfection won't add value to the end result. If something does need to perfect, he goes the extra mile.

[@josephprentice8354]

@@alans6767 are you really that inclined to believe he's going to do the same to a customer vehicle?? The saying goes 1 bolt can turn from 5 minutes to 3 days in a second. They have 6 hours and demo derby vehicles they are pulling to be fair the title was click bait I thought he rolled the wrecker not the dummy vehicle. It's a lax competition we're not talking about the super bowl lmao. And if it was the super bowl well give it a guess neither one of us is in the running kinda meaning we shouldn't call everyone hacks.. 😉 I didn't call you a hack with your xj picture and no videos it's just common thought I guess
