"Stuck" is quite the understatement here.

Buried would be a better description 😂

[@owendodman3037]

I really respect how you don't let anything bother you, you just face the problem and deal with it calmly and rationally until you find a solution. Keeping a good attitude about the situation.

[@michaelstjohn6086]

I think the closest I have see him mad was the derby car transmission

[@wm12ga]

Idk he seemed a little more irritated when the boy rear ended him on the snow rescued

[@jeteater1]

@@wm12ga That's what I was thinking.. They cut the camera pretty quick after that happened.. LOLOLOL

Onward and upward. No good solution ever comes out of anger and frustration. Cooler heads will always prevail.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

​@WM12ga ya but I'm sure that was short lived, they probably laugh about it at this point

[@Kentucky921]

That little roll back has been a jewel, great addition to the fleet

[@dps67]

Was just thinking of the last time Paul yanked out an F350 with a trailer...🙄🙄😂

[@arlisspropertyservicesllc5943]

Yup, he did the full send on Matt’s truck at the games. I wonder if that was going thru his mind here…😉

[@89G]

It's only going to get worse as all of this snow melts. You're going to be a busy man!! Better get that wrecker "unwounded".

[@beaumont9072]

Square body to the rescue, hunter square, body to the rescue hunter America 🇺🇸 💪🏼

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Ben is a better human being than I am. I for sure would have blown the horn when Paul was up inside the fender well!

[@remorrey]

Great job guys. Hunter does great job filming and driving.

[@LSswapEVERYTHING]

Tell Hunter to press and hold the traction control button until Stabilatrak is off! Mines a pooch unless I do that.

[@IsaiahMT2]

The suction in the mud really helped keep it "stuck". Good job getting it out guys.

[@siucracos]

11:31 Everyone is so great here. I need to give props to Ben for being so kind, especially to the young ones. Hunter was putting himself out there and showing vulnerability, and Ben said "That stuff is soft. You did a good job." That type of affirmation goes much farther than you would think. Keep it up!

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Absolutely. Paul, Ben and the rest are fantastic mentors that any teenager would be lucky to know 👍

[@tedfisk1211]

One thing is for sure, that guy put up a real good fight with the mud before he buried his truck. Good job Fab Rats for getting him loose.

[@williamflorance3863]

The only thing that almost makes up for not having anymore wrecker build videos is getting to see the wrecker in action and that's one situation you really needed it! Trying to get that out with kinetic energy without being able to lift it and break the suction would have been a recipe for disaster. Great to see the tow truck kicking goals!

[@stevecoppock7855]

Really liked that one! He was stuck pretty bad! Nice work getting him back on the road!

[@kmgflavin]

Paul looks good in that Ford, like he belongs in one. Maybe FabRats needs a Blue Steel? :D

[@CharlieMetcalf]

LOVE the sound of the Tow Truck!

[@melbice9906]

That was a mighty effort. A very capable wrecker and plenty of recovery experience. Well done 👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@calvinlevie943]

Knocked out another excellent video, very good tow truck job done well, thank you for the great editing , keep on being number one

[@blastingweevil2968]

wow what a BEAST of a wrecker you have created to pull a loaded truck out of a mud hole that deep and make it look that easy .. amazing job .

[@SMG12779]

Hey Hunter, looks like "the Ford" made it as far as you did before getting stuck, but it had a trailer. :)

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

That is some serious stuck, and Hunter got pulled out by a square body.....😂👌 have a better week and God bless amen.

[@tjtobin86]

That was a heavy stuck rig (even without the camper)! You guys made it look easy!

[@dalesworld1308]

Cut down doors on the squaredbody look great.

[@MacGyver-1]

I've been saying it for a while now, that truck needs outriggers in the rear, it's too light upfront to get full functionality out of the boom. The electric winches may be faster but the hydraulic ones were way more powerful, they could have been sped up by putting a higher flow pump on the truck.

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

That truck was suctioned in good! How fortunate to have the Fab Rats crew available to "un-suction" it. Nice work, gentlemen!

[@austinbond8634]

I think we need to see some small upgrades to hunters rig like a winch, a tool box so he can keep hitches and ropes in it. And make some good mud tires sense he likes mud!!

[@ronwatson4135]

Not a better feeling than when you get unstuck and back on solid ground. Good Job Hunter !

[@Bobby-Love]

Paul looks good in a Ford! I'm a Fabrats fan and a Ford guy!

[@justpain365]

Now that was some sticky icky mud for sure... but your tow truck did it's thing! Great job paul, ben & hunter... ☕🐢

[@dave6501]

Yes it's True a poor artist blames his tools. Paul this is why I like you and Ben. Yes you have your favorite but you know how to use the tool to get the job done. For sure Old Hunter could have used some practice but you haven't got all day either 😇. Love you guys and you too Hunter. Keep hanging around good people like Paul and Ben Hunter you grow up one of these days. Have a good one guys. All in fun. 😊

[@darksideharleygirl3691]

Holy Mudpie Mary that is a messy missy. Good Job Fab Rats Team,😁

[@michaelwhite8493]

The tow truck is one of the best sounding exhaust notes I've heard. Pure music!

[@brattleborotowing]

A few recommendations Put line locks in to anchor better Get scotch blocks that tie off the back of your truck to anchor you better. Install d rings on your rear bumper for extra tie offs. When you first started pulling at a distance if you went from the boom to a snatch block and back to your rear bumper, it would have created more of a rear pull with your truck bust still created a lift. Also some rim slings / continous loop would have made a huge difference. Park close lift the stuck wheel and it would have popped the front right out. Good content just trying to make life easier Joe

[@Mryiyo209.]

This ain't your first rodeo good suggestions

[@brattleborotowing]

I have pulled one or two buried in mud / snow over the years ran wreckers / flatbed for 18 years and grew up in the towing

[@fordraven5884]

Been watching fab rats for a long time I enjoyed their content

[@CMC61]

I just love it when Hunter goes to bragging, there is a video clip of his fails! so funny!

[@gapster46]

At 11:27 Ben's cackle. Priceless. Would like to see Hunter's reaction when he sees that.

[@mc4wduk501]

That tow truck you fab rats build is a absolute weapon and well done hunter he’s always willing to help.

[@jameswallace3043]

It's always good to see your cousin Hunter with you I know we're going to get some good film footage

[@larrydavidson3402]

What a mud hole that was, you guys done a great job getting it out as usual.

[@travisberger6519]

So glad to see that a square body is saving hunter.

[@willsmitherman688]

That was a messy job glad y'all were able to safely get the truck and camper out! Can't wait for the Toyota to be back out wheeling so that maybe we get to see a wrecker transmission tear down and carnage video. We need bonus video of Grayder, Jase, and Landon doing clean up on the wrecker! 😂😂😂

[@lonhoschar1943]

Nice job!! That boy was STUCK!! Don't ya just love mud!? Me... nope! You guys did a good job getting him out.

[@joeashbubemma]

Every episode always brings a smile to my face.

[@tc1718]

You're probably going to do more recoveries like this. I would suggest adding some good shovels to the tool list.

[@09dave1952]

One that fits Hunter's hands!

[@K3NnY_G]

Not to mention traction boards maybe.

[@Green-Therapy-Overland]

And recovery boards

[@toaster3822]

Edit: I guess you can't yank a trailer backwards and I'm the dummy never having towed or been under one (sober haha) Traction pads and a shovel would've been completely useless on a job like this. What they needed was a heavy rig like Matt's and a k-rope. They should've gone backwards too so the trailer didn't go through the mud

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@toaster3822 Good luck finding anything on the rear of the trailer solid enough to attach to.

Impressive! Being in the Towing industry for over 30 years, I have to say, Well done. You got that out with an Ol' Square body, highly optioned, BaddAss tow truck! You make me want to build, NO, You build, me a BassAss twin!

[@paulhall170]

That wasn't a mud hole, that was a crater, the right rear of the truck was down to the sills, I reckon. Well thought-out rescue, boys!

[@smcox1991]

That’s impressive Paul was able to pick that entire truck up.

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

Great job breaking that suction. It's all the battle in mud recoveries.

[@davidmartin8039]

As an old Towbum I would suggest you learn the benefits of using Snatch blocks. Not going into the math but if you were to add a Snatch block to the stuck vehicle which would allow you to run your cables back to the truck you're doubling your pulling power. If you really want to get the stuck out add hydraulic down force cylinders to "stab" into the ground. We built a recovery vehicle on a Jeep cj. Took a heavy winch off a heavy wrecker and added two hydraulic cylinders to the back. Worked well.

[@2WheelKam]

Man that tow truck is impressive!

[@flemmingkjellerup9780]

It is nice how Hunter is giving a lot to the channel too 👍😀

[@TexasTimelapse]

Nice job! For a minute there, I thought you were going to call in Matt for help. 😉

[@michaelcharette8509]

A waste of time……..

[@theburtseoni]

You folks have some serious industrial strength mud down there in Utah. Kudos to Paul for taking the dive over the muddy tires to hook up under the pickup!

[@garycoppard3596]

You gents take all in your stride, the smile, the laughs all show don't allow the negative aspect to get to you. Really great, enjoyable video. From my experience of work on power lines in rural areas, in got stuck plenty. We drove rear wheel drive Isuzu picks, very few with rear diff locks. Frustrating and sometimes depressing but there were times when it was hilarious. Thanks for the entertainment and keep doing video on all your work. God bless you all. PS. Ben and Hunter are great additions to your channel ❤

[@marvincarter870]

It's nice to see the Rat rod tow truck working again. You really need duel's on the rear like Trail Mater's It'll help stabilizer the rear end give better support on the rear. Yes when they're stuck deep in mud the only option is winching as you found out on this recovery. Good thing Tucker brought his truck you needed the anchor on the front. Love seeing Ben helping!

It amazes me how comfortable Paul is sitting in the tow truck with the front wheels off the ground. Lol

[@redwrangler7985]

Agreed! I was thinking about when he was setting up the suspension during the build. That was full squish with the front axle off the ground, but no tire rub and no bent parts!

[@KarlEller]

I was thinking it's the most redneck tow truck recovery I've seen in a while 🤣

[@akadventurer7563]

Meh, most everything else he drives spends most of its time on two or fewer wheels!

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I drive a tandem axle mack roll off truck, when I've got a real heavy bin it'll pull the front wheels 5 feet off the ground loading it up 😂 it just puts a huge grin on my face, I'm sure Paul feels the same way doing this
