This Frame Is NEVER Bending Again On The Rat Rod Tow Truck!

[@dadiusmaximus]

Coffee and Fab Rats. Good way to start my Sunday. Good morning y’all!

[@victorrackley7966]

I agree with you 100 percent

[@jrzyboy99]

Wish I drank coffee 😢 have to live vicariously through you guys. It was oatmeal and FabRats for me.

[@bobbyleehuss8690]

I agree

[@conradrohrer8400]

Fab Fats and MORR

[@akghound]

That's where I'm at!

[@chrisdelgado9802]

I watch a lot on the tube, but this show I watch religiously.

[@connormont8295]

I'm so glad to see Paul back to his normal goofy happy go lucky self... keep on keeping on fellas and fellet!

[@brucemartens2418]

Every time I hear Randel speak, it reminds of Chester on the old western GUNSMOKE !!!

[@nicoleeaton8984]

Ben is quickly becoming a favorite addition to the crew

[@camshend]

I sure like Ben in the shop giving Paul a hard time. Teasing back and forth between brothers is always needed.

[@earthlifeus1656]

Paul has done a great job including everyone into his life as a big happy family.

[@calladec]

Enjoying my lunch and Fab Rats here in Ireland

[@richard3141592638]

As much fun as it was watching you work on your own, Paul, you seem to be having more fun with Ben and Randle around - great video today - thanks all

[@williamwright6978]

"Ya know, maybe you come by it rightfully ." Best compliment ever...thanks Randle!

[@Tactical.gaming]

Paul your brother is a heck of a addition to the shop, great fabricator and wrench!

[@99unclebob]

Fab Rats Coffee and Bacon grilled cheese balanced on my knees, Makes for the best Sunday morning, everyone is just great, the best part was when Michelle came in and said I'm doing quick books i need to know what you bought and you went uh oh and your brother said Randall it's time for a drink and then they stood in the back ground and laughed 😂 trucks looking great

[@everythingsucks6086]

Your entire FabRats family, is sooooooo awesome!! All love and respect to ALL of you!! Even Randall's wife came through with the burgers!! "Teamwork makes the dream work"!!

[@Re-engineer_everything]

This episode reminded me of my Dad’s 82 Chevrolet Scottsdale K10 that he bought from the factory. I grow up with that truck. I remember having to swing in the truck to get my feet on the floorboard to get into the truck.

[@COM70]

Love the banter ! That’s really 3 generations working on that vehicle.

[@nomenoone4794]

With the addition of your brother to the show ratings went way up. Thanks

[@larrydavidson3402]

Nice to see the improvements being done to grandpa Sherm's truck. Paul and Ben seem to work so well together,so nice to see that.

[@joshlottridge6953]

And the shop too! Now insulated and lit up

[@justinfinch7940]

The look on Paul's face when he give Michelle a bite of that pepper was priceless.

[@Myhandle306]

Nice to see this truck remains a family build now that your brother has came on board. Landon will probably rebuild it again in 30 years.

[@Paladin_of_Justice]

Tell the young baseball man to be sure to have fun . Then you win no matter . Paul , Michelle and the crew look great together . I'm not a Chevy guy but your doing good work.

[@bryanmorgan8501]

It's cool to see how much this channel HAS GROWN! I hope to one day soon meet all of you at Fab Rats. Have a great Memorial Day.

[@stevenperry4947]

I’ve really enjoy watching your family work together. My family moved to Colorado 4 years ago to start a church. My mom and brothers live 1200 miles away from us. I miss hunting with my little brother and I miss taking my 65 mustang (with I had to sell to move to Colorado) to car shows with my older brother (who has a 64 1/2 mustang). I miss mom’s Sunday lunches and just seeing them. Your channel reminds me of home- Don’t change!

[@stefanf922]

Trailmater has an interesting offroad suspension setup, redundant spring and air ride.

[@dalbyadventure]

I don't think I've ever seen Randall without a smile. Great video!

[@kevinwalters7615]

Randall is a good guy great addition to the fabric crew

[@kevinwalters7615]

Fabrat got to love voice to text

[@XHollisWood]

Still the BEST channel on “The Tube “Thank You Paul, family and friends 👍 Have a wonderful Memorial Weekend 🇺🇸

[@thetype85]

More Michelle! I LOVE it when Paul messes with Michelle!

[@beavernut2079]

It was funny to watch Paul having to show what he has bought 🤣. Michelle is awesome, funny and all business 🤣

[@lonniet.2816]

THE SHOP IS LOOKING GOOD!

[@jahmackey1283]

watching you work with your brother and Randle is really cool! You guts make an awesome team!

[@aglenrios]

The Paul and Ben antics just make this channel more fun to watch.

[@gayle4804]

You all are AWESOME 👌 Your dad's tow truck is such a good memory I'm glad you're keeping quite a bit of it can hardly wait until it's all done to see it in its glory

[@mnmn926]

Watching tonight my wife says how cool it is to be watching the show so close by. On vacation from TN and camping just down the road. Looking forward to the final finished product.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Hey Paul. If it’s in your budget, vintage air makes a nice A/C systems for these trucks. It tucks the most the system up under the dash. Would give you a lot more firewall / tire clearance.

[@spaight711]

It’s nice, but $1500 is a lot when you already have working a/c.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

@@spaight711 very valid point.

Carrot um Michelle thats not a .... the cheeky look on Paul's face you realise there is a certain trust that just went up in smoke or flames 🤣 truck is getting tougher by the minute love ya work 👍🇦🇺

[@vinceminner2571]

Michelle you’re awesome at editing all these videos, and taking one for the team to keep the comedy rolling, “it’s a carrot”….

[@mistertoad5286]

I agree. She is a “crack” editor 🤣

[@johnme7049]

[@richarda996]

Dads and sons, eating stuff . As a teenager I came home late on night hungry, so I cooked and fixed a delicious hamburger. As it was cooling and I was washing the dishes my dad came in from work. Looks at my burger and stated “that is just what I wanted” and sat down and began eating. I had to cook another one for me. Life of a working man.

[@dustinmeier9753]

Paul after adding half of a sheet of 1/4” plate and a spool of welding wire to the tow truck: “It just has to be … light.” *thinks about what he’s done, realizes we’re gonna call him out on that one* … “-ish.” 😂

[@gillesbelliveau660]

It is amazing the trash one can take off a build to make it lighter. 🇨🇦

[@bobbynunley3418]

That 6 volt light was what my mom used all the time

[@davidburton04]

They did a very good job lighting your shop that's not an easy job to do sometimes it does take a professional

[@stuartoates424]

Best line ever.(tear up a crowbar in a sand pile) I have known people like that

[@dougdean3134]

So good to see you are doing good enough to invest in to your building and shop.

[@walkingthruyourdata-6019]

1984 GM Engineer's, " should be a box frame, it's a truck". The other Engineer, " there's only a handful of nut's that would put a truck through that kind of terror. Those nut's will have to work it out somehow". And here we are almost 40 years later! You Go Paul!

[@somewhereinarizona793]

Wow! Your shop is crazy bright now!

[@jenniferrisenmay9657]

Randall's wife is adorable. So glad to have met her today.

[@jasonhill390]

Coming from a guy that owns a few Chevy blazers, I’m loving the square body content. Grandpa’s tow truck is going to be one bad unit

[@samwalker3441]

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle. After 4 kids and all of these years, you still trusted him. DOH! You two are so cute together. Part of what I love about your channel.

[@phlashtheband4939]

Another great episode, with super editing. Nice job Ya'll!

[@dave_n8pu]

Yep, great job on editing, he/she prevented us from getting our burned out from 'plumbers crack', or in this case 'mechanics crack'. 😵😵‍💫

[@dougalexander7204]

I dig this channel so much. The ambition, the family and friends working together. With Ben, Paul can get away for the kids and the home. Randall is always in the mix. Michell is a happy wife, always smiling and in control. The kids get treated well for holding the flashlight. And, you know dad is floating around on the breeze so proud of his boys. Lastly, the world is anxiously awaiting for the golden Nugget to come back to the shop for kisses from the Fab Rats.

[@randyhead6481]

Favorite off road shock/suspension for me is Old Man Emu. I've been running the Nitro charger shocks on two different rigs for at least 12 years and way over 200,000 miles.

[@hammyh1165]

OME also do the best steering dampers too.

[@NCMTNBOY]

OME shocks for me. Can not wait to see both tow trucks built. Then a tow off competition. :)

[@f250man21]

Man I would give anything to come work with you for just even a day. Everything you do is what I have dreamed of doing as a mechanic for the past 20 year's. Just seems life always kicks me down an i've never gotten my garage just a stone driveway. Keep up the great work guys!!!!!!

[@schwartzenheimer1]

Michelle is looking mighty fit these days. Good on her...keep doing what you're both doing, great videos.

[@reddog543211]

thanks so much for sharing this video with us!!.... Team Fab-Rats always pulls remarkably well together....even the younguns are well oriented in the shop....so cool !!.... editing remarkably constant !!

[@anthonylee2099]

That Baby is All stripped down!! It’s slowly coming along. Great job, Paul, Ben and Landon 🤙😎

[@adamrehling6971]

Way to go Landon! You've done good Paul and Michelle.

Best socks it’s a hard choice but from the 80’s Rancho’s , KYB’s , and Bilstein shocks off the top of my head but one that really tried was Sears mechanical shop 😎not the best but my dad tried a set on his Jeep Wagoneer !! 😎👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🙃🦅thanks for the great thoughts as a kid and a young adult of off roading,logging and most of all spending time with my (Papa dart 🎯 and your Dad ) dad fishing 🎣 🐠 😎🇺🇸👍🏻🦅

[@AR_420]

Thanks again for an awesome video. Soooo glad to see your success grow! Living vicariously through you buddy! Had a similar career working outside and traveling to find that $. Wears on man mentally AND physically. Glad you got out of that monotonous daily grind and can now enjoy being at home with your family so much more while doing what you enjoy and being able to provide. Live that dream to the fullest! 😊✌️

[@mwyatt222]

Every great zen master with the metal persuader knows theres ''Ya'' and then theres ''Hi-Ya'' but the max torque at the rear elbow is the primal ''HOY-YAAAAA''. When the jobs needs gettin' done. Love the channel. Between you, Matt, Puddin's Fab and Robbie Layton l dont watch my Motortrend on demand anymore and wouldnt miss it if l cancelled it. Thank you and your awesome family. Ya'll rock.

[@tim1894]

Hey Paul. You inspired me to buy my first welder. As I’m on a budget it’s the cheapest one Amazon sells, does mig tig and stick. My father has a mig and stick but neither of us have wanted to spend the money on a Miller tig, but I figured for a $200 welder, what have I got to lose? If I’m actually good at it by the time the thing breaks, I’ll buy a real one. Keep making the awesome projects

[@tim1894]

@landen I’m starting to notice a trend with you and things with motors

[@tommaples9174]

Old Chevy's never die they just get reconfigured!

Duluth Trading would be one hell of a good partner for the channel. Michelle wouldn't know what to do with all her free time from having to pixelate butt cracks! (Thank you, Michelle. Your valiant efforts have saved thousands worldwide!!) 😂😂 Much love, y'all! ❤️

[@treyzamora6263]

I know your Dad is watching every second of this build. Everything he taught in action. Cool stuff.

Another great video Sir

[@Bigbrunibelow]

Not really an “off-road” show but Trucks Sunday morning in the 90’s with Stacey David was my shit

[@brandonrawleigh9404]

Paul and crew great job love the videos you guys have helped me build a lot of things because of this channel I have built a flat bed for my truck and a brush guard can't wait to see more videos

[@MrJoesphares]

I feel like the efficiency of the shop has drastically improved with the addition of Ben. Randall is pretty awesome as well. Maybe a live stream with a fabrats party to give away the car

[@chrisoakey9841]

have you thought of stiffening the frame using a tube frame design from existing chassis to rock sliders? by triangulating the dead space outside the rails you get strength but dont interfere with motor and gearbox space. it could also be a protective cage for air tanks or emergency fuel/ water.

[@Kickinpony66]

@11:43... Thank you for pixelating the crack! Then again @12:05! 😁😁 Paul and Ben Smurfed them plates right in there!

[@Ddabig40mac]

I have a sneaky suspicion that Landon's engine/motor conundrum might just have a hereditary component to it.

[@jimarmentrout2959]

Ben has been a very good addition to the show, fun chemistry

[@DavidBergman1776]

I've seen some cantakerous comments on the old Robby Layton Golden Nuggie vids. Would love to see y'all review them.

[@cotton-Dave]

Motors--Why drag FabRats into that mire?

[@charlesjohnsjr.5809]

It’s an age old problem. Fabrication experts always say the painter will fix it. Painters whine about the damage. Same with carpenters and painters. Painters will fix it. Just goes with job. It’s all good

[@wb2dx717]

great tribute to dad's wrecker you guys do great work

[@BurntTransGarage]

My father and I rebuilt a ZZ4 for my 84 K10 when I was a teen. Needless to say, a 16yo with a roller cam small block and a 4-speed, I spun a rod bearing and had to rebuilt the engine again 6 months later. Don't do the rev limiter. Let Landon learn like I did. Life lesson I'll never forget.

[@dmorgan28]

You guys are a real riot. I mean it never gets boring. lol. What you guys do, nothing is mediocre. it’s all done right and it’s heavy duty. We love this channel. 👍👍👍❤️

I really like the upgrades on the tow truck that is going to be a strong, tough and bad ass.

When Michelle was doing QuickBooks Paul looked like a kid who was in trouble at school and was talking to the principal Keep up the great work everyone
