He had a lift, bull bar, light guards, overland stickers and no lug key to change his tire? Haha. You guys are so kind

[@tinsano6030]

When you see grampa sherms tow truck in the first clip ya know its gonna be a fricken awesome vid. I absolutely love that ole beast of a truck

[@jacobloera4982]

And the suspense at the end when it got stuck was awesome , but bein a heavy Chevy Grampa Sherm's truck clawed it's way right outta there

[@acoop101]

I can appreciate that this guy while not super experienced was getting out and giving it a try and hopefully learning from his mistakes.

[@Veikra]

and being totally cool and taking the advices of professionnals

[@tedconroy5074]

It's just a normal Sunday morning in Utah. Teaching the young men how to help others while having fun doing it.

[@canyonrunner]

The word you are looking for is, “SERVICE”. In the LDS vernacular “service” translates to helping others (even on the Sabbath day) to retrieve their ass from the pit.

[@michaeltablet8577]

I hope everyone is not getting tired of me posting this comment. This channel is awesome! You make us all feel like one big happy family!

[@waynefields4813]

Father and son rescue team!!! Lando doesn’t know how lucky he is to have a dad that includes him in the day to day family business, from wrenching to recovering, you all are a great family !!!!

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

Every time I see grandpa sherms mountain goat wrecker it makes me smile. When I was a kid working in a salvage yard I drove a square body wrecker just like it. I also enjoyed seeing Landon driving his truck out on the trail’s to a recovery. If your out in the wilderness stuck broke down or whatever the issue and see these trucks coming to the rescue what you thought was a bad day just turned out to be a blessing. Great job Team FabRats.

[@UncleManuel]

You can say that he needed some fresh air. ... And that was the pun for the day. You're welcome! 😁✌️

[@richardraleigh6490]

I'm sure Grampa Sherm would be busting with pride, watchin his son & grandsons out helping others. What a testimony!!!

[@malcolmallderidge9726]

Great to see you and Landon teaming up for a Rescue. Soon it will be Fab Rats Family Rescue Squad!

[@trenthumphreys9368]

The legacy of grandpa Sherm's tow truck lives on!

[@davestevens4263]

Paul to the rescue , he wasn’t the most knowledgeable off roader but dam he’s out doing it & learning. Kudos

[@offroad6309]

He was trying to do the right thing by airing down. He is just learning the difference in pressure between sand and rocks for his load. He seemed like a good guy that was willing to learn and will do better every he goes out. He is light years ahead of some of the others rescued. I wouldn't mind having him in a group.

[@TheScoundrel70]

Great to see Landon taking his truck out as backup with you. Insurance for you and the client, and fun and experience for Landon. Plus a great way to spend time with your kids!

[@blakie982]

roadside rescue with your son.....priceless

[@T-BUZZ]

FABRATS: They do it so nice I watch it twice 😎✌️

[@markreetz1001]

Great watching you and Landon out on a Rescue. The guy doesn't know how lucky he is to be out riding trail with Paul and Lando!

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

I thought for a moment Landon was gonna get his first rescue but dad wasn't gonna let that happen an just punched the skinny pedal lol that old Toyota was clean and the fact the spare tire hoist still worked blew me away.

[@dwal2165]

A guy and his kids out helping people and having fun together. Parenting done right.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

There seems to be an obsession with squarebody chevy trucks on this channel 😅 i love the combo of grandpa Sherms tow truck and Landons truck on a recovery. He'd likely be proud to see them rolling together on the trails

I can't imagine Paul 'sitting around and doing nothing'. That's definitely one of those 'Does not compute' situations.

[@sandkworkshop]

Good job. He was sure glad it wasn’t serious. And learned a lesson to boot.

Paul using his Dad's truck to do a rescue , and back-up is his son in his first truck .. Grandpa Sherm is looking down & smiling

Excited for this I own a 93 fzj80 land cruiser factory triple locked keep upbthe great content guys!

[@robertstephenson2945]

That ole tow truck does a great job! It's so cool to see the boys involved in the business. Building a legacy with Grandpa Sherm's truck. That's awesome. Good to see Landon's square body on the road and getting it done.

[@cdnroofer]

Grandpa Sherms truck is a BEAST!!!! Love the sound of the motor

[@terrywells3955]

Another Lazy Sunday gone out the window lol but you found him got'um back on track now it's back to a lazy Sunday , your dad's old truck held its own on that river bank . ♥️

[@garykoontz4534]

Shew-wee Paul, speeding up the camera through all the curves and whoop-t-dos almost made me PUKE!! lol, but great to see Landon with his square body out there helping!!

[@dougalexander7204]

I learn so much from Paul. A video or so ago he said no one could hurt his feelings because he held the flashlight for his dad. A wise man… said with love.

[@kurtolson627]

I owned a 1978 chevy custom deluxe 4x4 with lock out hubs , I sure do miss that truck / it was my mom's . I paid it off in her name & she signed it over to me for $5.00 . I miss and love my mom and that truck. # miles of smiles too you all.

[@larrydavidson3402]

Good rescue, good thing you have an on board compressor on the wrecker. Father and son doing a rescue together is the best part of this rescue.

[@karlt.6507]

Matt's off road and Casey's off road recovery company's now have solid competition! Go Get'em Paul!

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

what a great Sunday afternoon rescue Paul! So great to have Landon along in his rig too. the scenery alone was worth the virtual ride along.

Don’t let the haters get to you folks. I think that it’s great that you include your bride in your videos. Besides it’s better than looking at your mug. Lol . Keep up the good work. And above all have fun doing it. Life’s too short grumpy

I love your videos it makes my day when I get notifications about your videos it takes my mind off what is going on with my daughter Madison who has stage 5 kidney failure and needs a kidney transplant. And Michelle I really enjoy when you are in the videos

[@Stratos53100]

He failed the #1 rule, Never leave without making sure you have everything to change a tire, not having the wheel lug nut tool is the ultimate face palm. Live & learn

[@Charles-nd4yr]

It was a locking lug. There are many different patterns of locking lugs

[@Stratos53100]

[@comptonoverland7442]

Always carry everything to change a tire out in the field. Self sufficient. Where I wheel nobody is coming ever !!

[@Farm_fab]

Paul, you might want to get a shorter air hose for the wrecker.😜

[@kenwomble2436]

Father and son recovery!! So cool! Lando is so much like my son Curtis. We have been fixing up an 87 suburban that he drives to school. It was originally my work truck. It is a 3/4 ton we used to tow equipment trailers. The kids named it “Tank”. It sounds just like your tow truck lol :) It was the spark that got him interested. He loves driving it. Thank you so much for sharing :)

[@robmitchell4417]

It's nice to see a nice easy Sunday job. Spending time with the boys. With the work of the square body.

[@ashtonmariefranklin725]

Awesome seeing both square bodies out wheeling to help someone out

[@byronwhitney665]

Looks like another family affair. Way cool. Good to see the whole family getting involved.

[@maxironpaw]

Would you dial back the fast forwards from Warp 9 to, maybe, Warp 3? And Paul, did you bend the DHS dude's bumper? If so, you're now on the no-fly list for sure.

[@lockedin60]

My southern soul would may not handle the temperature extremes that you all have in Southern Utah but the landscapes are so breathtaking and so varied. You could explore forever. Paul good thing you are exposing your sons to the recovery side of things. A good skill to acquire.

[@glynowen1906]

Amazed that so many people go off road with all the gear and no idea Makes me chuckle carry on

[@remorrey]

Rear bumper was already bent up when Paul rolled up.

[@nancymcneill872]

gotta be a proud moment to have your kid in his own truck helping on a recovery

Just bad luck for that guy, good to Landon out wheeling great job and video

[@off-roadoutlawrepairs2910]

Glad to see that old tow truck putting in the work. Keep on keeping on.

[@tomhake427]

Paul, if you can't get a tire to bead back up try putting a ratchet strap all the way around the face of the tire and tighen it up, I have used that trick alot with success. Also keep it real with the way everyone talks and including the family. That's what it is all about in the end.

[@DoesItTho]

Man that Land Cruiser sure will look cool on Monday at the corporate office park when vest is telling his story to the secretaries

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Paul, It looks like you need a longer hose or an air connection at the back of the tray to make life much easier....

[@bigrig4630]

That tow truck sounds so damn good. I could listen to that thing Rev for hours

A tow truck sure beats a jack in the mud. 👍 I miss my old 74 F-100 4x4. After a few wrecks it was all primer and I called it my Rez truck. It was great to go banging around off-road.

[@whatdoyouthinktodd]

So beautiful editor could you slow down the speeded up portions of the videos just a tiny bit kind of hard to tell what was going on In the first half of the video. It would be okay if the video was 15 minutes long we would all still watch it I mean it's only 11 minutes now. Thank you 💐

[@OldManJimmy1]

Paul's Off Road Recovery Service, I saw a rollback in the yard when you guys took off. Maybe it's not just off road anymore!!!! 😜 Glad to see you diversifying Paul and family. I think there's a logo needed here on the recovery vehicles.

[@jeremysales1232]

Off road recovery operations need flatbed tow trucks. How else are you going to transport totaled vehicles ?

[@MrGaryGG48]

@@jeremysales1232 The rollback flatbeds are certainly easier to load but most the places you see Matt's Offroad Recovery with that little flat trailer, aren't likely to see a rollback driving out there. They each have their strengths but they're different.

Can't think of a better way to spend the day. Father and son doing the Boy scout thing. Doing good deeds for those in need. For all those who have been rescued as a favor, pay it forward one way or another. Paul seems to reap real benefits in return for his time and ingenuity for his community.

Been there, done that! For me was in the middle of the jungle with no room to even change the tire. Next time grab the rear bumper by the middle, it will prevent that rubber passenger corner from bending the way it was.
