I'm placing my bet that Paul enjoys watching other people having fun in his rigs, I know I would and especially since it makes some money for the business. Love seeing these guys having fun and big smiles on their faces, these videos are priceless, keep'em coming!

[@michaeldye4318]

I did so many enjoyable basic runs like that over the years. It’s not always about the toughest trails or rock crawling. I like those as well, but just running around the back country is a really great time. Thanks for sharing your day.

[@bigtsperspective5831]

Seeing Big H drive the fj….. after what he’s brought to the channel…. Smile brite, It’s your day in the sun ❤😎

[@NANKEL1]

I think that might of planted a seed for a build down the track for him😆👍🇦🇺

[@dutch9357]

Love southern Utah. Most of what I’ve seen was from the back of me mule. (Actual mule, not a utv or anything.) you guys are living the dream. I’m stuck up on the Wasatch Front, remembering the days before all the Californians moved here.

[@89G]

Man, do I love this channel. We all appreciate all of you for sharing this with us!

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Agreed

[@stunick1573]

Fun video, always a good time when the boss Cat is away the Mice will play. Nothing got destroyed and only one semi important issue was discovered. The need for more cooling power for Ben's Jeep.

[@steelmill]

Great to see you guys having fun.The shop is coming along nicely.

[@richardthomas1743]

Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Fab Rats! 👍

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!!!!! GOOD MORNIN' YAY!!!! 1st!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@ordinarypete]

Good morning to you too, Richard 🤙🏽

[@quickscopixboss4373]

im from germany its 3pm 😂

[@BleachDemon99]

Top of the morning to you too…..

[@jimdawson2549]

Morning

[@harlech2]

I have never said this before, but Ben reminds me of my dad in so many ways. From his physical appearance, but even moreso because of he mannerism and attitude. There is always a mischievous twinkle in his eye. My father passed away almost 25 years ago, but I know he would have loved this channel as well.

[@hotrodchevy4524]

Paul is why more nice and trusting to let someone else Drive his Vehicle. I will Never ever again allow someone to drive any of my Vehicles. Ive let people borrow Vehicles 3 times and all 3 times the vehicle was either wrecked or damaged badly. Never again.

[@blastingweevil2968]

such great trial's and soo little or no trash to be seen even on the roads its fantastic to see people looking after the areas they live and play in .

[@brockryan3405]

The only thing better than having a Rock crawling piece of perfection is to have a friend with one! Anyone that "borrows' a rig from Paul will treat it with respect while they have a time of their life! If I was Paul, I would be proud that my rig gave people so much joy.

[@Crewsy]

You weren’t slacking off. You were giving the space needed for the overhead door crew to work their magic and get that building sealed up. Plus it was a shakedown run for the “upgrades” to the FJ that Paul will never know about. 😉😉

[@jerryb1234]

Did anyone else notice the lack of shots from Ben's Jeep to the FJ, I think there was one potato-cam shot, 😆👌, good look-n-out Benny!,🙄, and BTW, the FJ might classify as a "Ultimate Rock Crawler" if it had rear-steer, Paul,😉👍, lol, thanks for sharing guys.

[@andrewruble7706]

"Apparently they worked harder" is the quote of the day Shawn!! Bet they didn't have as much fun. That is an awesome area you all get to play in. Doors look great too. Thanks for sharing your adventure while the "Boss" (Michele) is away. Surprised gramma didn't give you 3 heck for screwing around. LOL

[@haroldphipps3457]

She is probably pissed they didn't take her along!

[@dalegnodle]

Someone may have took out that cattle guard when there was snow on the ground. I hit one over by Ignacio (Co.) once in a brand new welding truck, on my way to work. 😢 It had snowed all night and I was running late. It happens. Good morning everyone. Have a blessed day!

[@jackrichards1863]

This has been one of the easiest watch, most interesting fab rats videos of all time, in my opinion. Thanks for filming.

[@snchilders]

Paul, when are you going to get started on that bus? We've been waiting and waiting, and waiting.

[@erintheangry]

As a landscaper, I found that a leaf blower really helps an overheated zero turn mower and a truck... bigger one you got the better it works. Try it.

[@kennaaye8596]

I hope the " Hunter, Ben and Sean Show" becomes a regular feature. Fun video, thanks guys 👍

[@JeepsAndEats]

The Cat’s Away episodes!

[@tomsisk6811]

You mean like those crazy dudes at Dirtbilly Deluxe ???

[@UncleManuel]

That really was a good "excuse" to go wheelin. Even Paul would approve! 😁😎🤟

[@paulhiebert1887]

Utah: 'Merica's finest four wheeling playground!!! That's some awesome scenery, thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!

[@chipprice1174]

Ben, I was having over heating on my Jeep Crawler and I touched about everything that had to do with cooling, and so far no issues. Here's what I did. 1. changed out water pump to a after market high flow one. 2. Changed the rad hoses, (no leaking or anything, just for peace of mind. 3. I have an electric fan, it was about 12 years old, so I bought a replacement as it "looked" like it wasn't turning as fast as it used to. I just changed the motor, not the actual fan. 4. I put some poison Spider hood louvers on it. even though it is open on the sides, a lot of hot air is trapped inside the YJ hood. You can tell it's working because without my Lexan windshield, a LOT of hot air now blows in your face. Also, when cooling it down when it runs hot, (don't happen often now, but it will, esp on really big hill climbs getting from one place to another) I turn off the engine, let the fans run about 3-5 mins, then crank it up and let it circulate the cooler coolant into the engine, cut it back off and let the fans run again. I do that 3 or 4 times, and within about 10 mins or so, I can have it back down to 160*-170*. Before I did all the fixes, it took a lot longer to get the engine temp back down. I hope one day I get to come out y'alls way and maybe get to wheel with all of you! I'll probably be riding alone, so tell Hunter I will let him have some drivers seat time!

[@davelee9087]

Interesting change of pace. Thanks guys. AND, Ben get that overheating problem FIXED. No half measures.

[@saleen3933]

That FJ is my dream truck I love that thing. The FJ is just a monster it floats over obstacles. 😮😊

[@milomiller909]

I'm glad to see you all have a good time. God bless you all.

[@wirebrush]

Funny looking Mountain Goats. They looked a lot like Bighorn sheep.😂

[@iffykidmn8170]

Goats not Sheep.

[@wirebrush]

@@iffykidmn8170 better look again

[@tetedur377]

Back in the days before electric fans, we used to run like a 1/4 inch copper line with a bunch of notches cut in it across the radiator. Then we'd hook a rubber line to a windshield washer pump ($5.00 at the parts store), and another rubber line into a coolant jug filled with water. Temp gauge would start showing hot, and we would push a button under the dash and spray water down over the front of the radiator. It helped.

[@moparman1962]

Ben, Sean, Hunter...don't you guys have Rugged headset radios to talk to each other on? If so, why didn't you take two or three of them with you on this outdoor wheelin' and explorin' adventure? It sure would have made it easy for all three of you to share what you were doing and where you were at, right?

[@shirleyallen6072]

Fun video Ben, Hunter & Shawn; so glad no bad "oops" happened!!

[@karenminard2464]

I just love❤ that each of you guys are still boys at heart.

[@beb38138]

Ben, im just finishing up on a 66 Chevy restoration at work. Same colors, we left the patina alone, full new wire harness, fuel tank, etc...I'm in love with it, gonna hate to see her go. 😢

[@wylecuplin3044]

Thanks for taking us along. 👍👍👍

[@haroldcrook4055]

Beautiful, fun area. Thanks for taking us along. 👍👍

[@TheRoostersGarage]

That's awesome y'all live so close to some trails to just get out and chill out

[@francesrice7898]

Thanks for taking us with you on this fun day. I love the scenery and the animals were a gift to see. ❤️🙏👍🌟❤️

[@dave6501]

Thanks for the video. It's nice to see the jeeps running around doing what they're made for.

[@kdkrim]

That was fun. Nice camera work and editing.

[@thomavrides]

Good morning. my name is Thomas and I come from Greece, I have been watching the channel for over two years and I am excited about your work. I would beg you if it is possible to put Greek subtitles so that I can understand you better. thank you very much in advance. keep doing what you're doing because it's fantastic. many greetings from greece.

[@moparman1962]

Ben, Sean, Hunter...that was some AMAZING scenery...truly unique formations, awesome flora and fauna video and spectacular vantage points...what a GREAT video guys! (You guys need to take your Rugged radio headsets with you on your outdoor excursions so you can let each other know what you're doing and where you are.) ;)

[@rickdavidson3534]

The Jeep you guys built for Ben is an awesome rig. Time to upgrade the cooling, but for a casual trail rig,,, very capable!!

[@thomascase944]

Fun video!! It was entertaining to watch you guys have fun on some trails. 15:55 "He's not that old!!" 🤣😂🤣 You guys are awesome!! Thanks FAB RATS Team!!

[@Scrambler85]

The wheeling videos are the best on this channel 👍👍👍👍

[@bradleymadosh911]

It was nice seeing yous guys have fun riding. Something different is always good to do. Hope yous go back and fix the fence so the cows don't get out

[@almclean4835]

You’ve got to have some fun, all work and no play is dull ! I work in forestry, the tools ive found over the years is crazy. A complete socket set, hammers, sledge hammers, m12 grease gun, spanner’s all good stuff!

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Paul must have been at the spa that day. Lol 😮😮😮😅😅😅😊

[@TurboDog73TX]

Ben, the Brushless Hellcat fan would help keep Your Jeep nice and cool. I don't know what management You're running on the engine, but there are multiple options to control it. The brushless fans are a major game changer.

[@johnmccrane1660]

That was a test run and it found a problem. More cooling system needed, fan, radiator or ?. Nice test run, good job bringing the FJ for safety. You know safety, safety, safety.

[@dalegereaux1863]

Nice trail riding today ! Thanks for taking us along 👍

[@hugomartineau3196]

Ben, get a 95 ford taurus Fan for the jeep.. it pull a crazy amount of air..

[@garymeives762]

Hi guys, have you ever tried a desert water bag? They are canvas bags that you fill with water and hang in front of your radiator to help keep it cool. Might help with your overheating problems. When I was a kid, my dad used them all the time and we never had a problem with overheating driving across the desert.

[@Eric-gi9kg]

When the cat's away... the Mice will play The "Barracks" was super cool. Looked like a relatively "easy" trail

[@BoomBoomGodwon]

Y’all have the best boss in the world! Just cut out and go wheeling! Best day at the office ever!

[@devarskinnee8760]

There all a bunch of fair haired kids! It can only grow in the strength of our lord And savior. God bless the brother rats! Devo the block.

[@rattles3044]

When Paul's gone... All you see is the tail lights of dads rig ! 👀 👀 🤣

[@harveystephens6115]

Pretty country. Nice video guys!!!! Didn’t break anything either!

[@kimetherington2252]

Down time is a fun time! You guys really know how to entertain us with off-roading in the FJ with Hunter behind the wheels, and Ben having cleanup duty behind them! Lol. Good video, guys. Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...

[@dljones61]

Now this was an enjoyable lunch hanging out with the crew. Well done

[@briansimpson6681]

When we were younger I had a buddy submarine his brand new CJ 5 in a small river. So him and his girlfriend bailed out and as it floated and tumbled against a rock his girlfriend says oh man, I just bought that cassette that was in your tape deck.......Lmao I'm sure he still remains unimpressed by that statement

[@thefreeak]

Nice change of pace. Love to see the countryside you call home.

[@SenseiJV]

Y’all are all great Americans. Thanks for video!

[@weberlori5239]

Enjoyed your day away from the shop. Lol is my day off from work. Kicked back, loved the scenery and your escapades 🍻

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

You guys are blessed with some sweet trails!

[@joepatino6483]

One of the best videos yet. Different from the old regular stuff. We enjoyed it. Thanks

[@XCHANGEDAVE]

The new shop looks great.

[@donlittle832]

Such a great video glad you all had a great time

[@ITGuyOhio]

The Fj was a champ! Looks like the jeep needs an upgrade. 😢 It's good to have some fun once in awhile.😊

[@dougalexander7204]

Love seeing Ben’s smile driving his Jeep. Hunter driving the FJ45 is a lot of responsibility.

[@dennisdain987]

I know it's not necessary to show it, but do you guys air the tires back up for the drive home? That was a great drive, I love the time lapse clips. Beautiful country. Thanks for taking the day off and taking us along for the drive.

[@TurncoatTony]

Looks like y'all had some fun! Thanks for the video.

[@wolfgangricky]

Paul, Hunter has the itch now. when done with your Boys, time for Hunter to build one. That is of course, after Michelle's Jeepster, Ladies first. Ty for taking us along

[@TheMr9fingers]

Ha ha Cats away Mice Will play! I'm seeing a couple more builds in the future. Talking at the end about finding tools on the road picked up a 4 food snap-on pry bar once and also a Craftsman 3/8 ratchet with a 9/16 socket 😊

[@jimwebb9328]

Collecting tools on the road. I do the same thing. I call it shopping at Roadside Supply.

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

A fun day out on the trail that you guys needed after all the work on the building. Ben is your jeep getting enough fuel? Lack of fuel causes heat. Our first real dirt track engine kept running hot and we did everything we could to get more air to it. After burning a hole in a piston our engine builder asked us what size fuel line we were using. It was 3/8" and he said well there's your problem. We went to a 1/2" line and the problem was solved. I know your fuel delivery is not a 850 cfm carb but it could still be the issue however you're getting fuel to it.

[@marinviorelneag8887]

Good for you guys having an good time,Paul have trusth in his frends,Paul is not a boss,he is an team leader,all good from Itally

[@Westerntraveler]

That would be great if Grandma Lollie had to recover you or Michelle......lol

[@Krunkle78]

Another Awesome vid! Ben defiantly needs to Get that over heating fixed but still looked like a great run!! And the shop is looking MINT! gonna have to go buy some more shirts to help out with them new doors ;) lol much love and respect from NH!!! keep it up guys you're doing great!

[@SoundwaveX7]

Good morning Fab Rats from Minnesota! 🙂

[@skyepilotte11]

Fun in the sun...doesn't get any better than this...shop is looking great.

[@mikeroll9868]

What a fun and beautiful area to off road in.

[@davidmiller6010]

FINALLY covered the install of the new doors, sort of. This video must be about 4 weeks old. Oh, and who's idea was it to put that window up there on the wall between the doors. Good idea. Let's in a lot of light, without over backlighting. Hopefully you'll show us how you made out after the remnants of Hurricane Hilary passed through a few days ago. Thanks for sharing!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Looking like a great time. Love the videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.

[@bullittdog4352]

Great stuff as usual..skipping work and going wheeling is 100% expectable ! Ben it looks like you need more nitrogen on the top side of your struts …when ORI’s wheelhop it’s a sure sign of low psi.

[@johndowning5344]

The look on your kids face when he crossed the brook and went up the hill.. lmao Daddy got some great props on an amazing rig that surprised his boy.. I've never been up here before he says.. lmao...

[@iffykidmn8170]

Not related to each other.

[@davidbruin4381]

I see that the FJ needs a sideview mirror on the drivers side already. I'm also watching this at 5:45am, in North Pole, Alaska. This is the first time that my phone beeped, telling me something new was coming on. And it was a nice wakeup beep. I'm trying to send you guys some of our cold weather in exchange for some of your Hot weather. It's not working very well 😢😊.

[@bobtucker8875]

That looked like a fun day 😜. Thanks 👍 for sharing.

[@dhorn247]

Ben is cracking me up. We got er back down to 260

[@psg6314]

It's good to have fun every now and then great video keep up the good work God bless from GA

[@Thelegend1549]

Hallelujah!!! 🎉 5 videos in a row with no Michelle cackling like a hyena... Love it!!! Keep up the awesome work... ✌️❤🐀

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice ride . Paul did a great build on the 45 and Hunter drove it well .

[@DaddyBeanDaddyBean]

Collecting the cooler and gas jug & whatnot - my dad was driving down the road in Pennsylvania and found a Milwaukee case sitting in the road, with a cordless circular saw/batteries/charger inside. A little further along, Milwaukee cordless drill. Impact driver. Six foot level. Laser level. Etc. One at a time, a mile or so apart, each labeled with a last name. A mile or so after the last tool, he came upon a house under construction, with a pickup in the driveway, same last name on the side of the pickup... tailgate down, a couple random tools in the bed & on the tailgate. Turns out the new kid had been sent into town to buy something, and had forgotten to close the tailgate... again.... depositing a few thousand dollars worth of tools on the road along the way.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

Barracks is one of my favorite trails to run in Southern Utah. That is a nice rollcage in the LJ. I need one of those in mine.

[@privatehm]

I've learned (the hard way) that when you come to a stop because the temperature is too hot to keep it running. Let the radiator and cooling system do it's job.

[@martinnightingale6033]

Love this video . 3 naughty boys borrowing a vehicle and having some fun .m So entertaining thank you .

[@greghardy7239]

As the saying goes ( all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. ) Keep up the the good work and fun.👍👍👍
