That last climb where your passenger front was like 6 feet off the ground, yet you still made it up was freaking amazing. I actually clapped.

[@TwoSierraEcho]

I was thinking that it was a good thing that Michele wasn't there watching!

[@davidbreaux5989]

That was definitely my favorite part of the video.

[@scottcarr3264]

I thought he would have to winch it back near flat to get out of that one. Amazing.

[@samwalker3441]

@@scottcarr3264you are not alone.

[@Chevyman02]

Paul is a wheeling fanatic, it's in his blood.

[@markw.2106]

The diabolical part of that race is that if you don't compete it in 24 hours, you can't just turn around and skip out easy. You're in this until you're out of it! Wow

[@skilledrex294]

The hardest part is the waiting for the others to get through the trail too. There is an easier line along the side of the rocks, but that doesn’t get you any points. I bet you could drive up along side of that trail in less than an hour.

[@melvinshew5127]

Paul that looked like a ton of fun one of these day I hope to have a rig to do trails like that

[@masterbates7016]

There are easy trails out lol.

[@masterbates7016]

They called the easy trail beside the hard trail the traveling trail because it's easy to navigate

Oh lord that last obstacle, WOW!!! Yota did her job and made it through AWESOME. It is hard for me personally to fathom hearing you have the smallest tires at 40's, lol. Super cool and glad you all had a good time. Thank you so much for sharing

[@davidborboa77]

That's what I was thinking, back in the day if you had 35s you were a big dog.

[@bobstratton6362]

That was awesome! Love Paul’s laugh whenever he cleared an obstacle. That last one was a killer.

[@davidweidner1675]

Good to see Rory and Shawn helping you out

[@marvincarter870]

Oh wow what a challenging trail this was it really ran the FJ through the ropes! Nice to see all the KZbin friends coming together and encouraging each other over this trail. Good to see Rudy, Shawn, and Rory. Hunter did a good riding along and filming this whole event.

[@gregorygene9003]

I was hoping ti see Ben and Shaun. 4WD24/7 should have tried joining as well.

[@jerrybauman6927]

I'm convinced that all of these KZbin friends escaped from the same asylum. lol

[@davebenson1504]

Always good idea to invite Trail Mater along for this sort of fun 🙂... amazing 'trail' 🙂

[@gv280z]

Rory's buggy looks so dang mean too

[@UncleManuel]

"Nah, I'll just drive up it." That last obstacle was one hell of "It'll be just fiiiiiine!" - Paul just REALLY wanted to get into his bed quickly... 😂😁🤟

[@JohnBennett1990]

This is one of my most favorite rigs on KZbin. Hands down, I feel like she could go anywhere

[@electrontube]

8:10 that driver though, the dude knows how to play poker with a line. ain't afraid of the helmet and he knows why he wears a good winch.

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

Same!

[@annagarner1280]

Apsalutely...well said... l love how Paul was sideways and at a backwards angle sending that beastly gal on up the hill and setter down ever so gentle like ❤ ....that's skill.... really like how everyone pitches into help each other to succeed....that's good times ...

[@anthonylee2099]

This by far has taken your FJ to test its limit. Your Building of the FJ and your driving skills proved itself on the 24 hr to Hell and Back Challenge. No breakdowns, one pull and a near tip-over 25:16 , but you pulled it out! Been waiting for this video. Was good to see Rudy ,Rory, Sean there too. Great videoing Hunter🤙😎

[@roycehartman325]

The way you finished that last obstacle was the perfect way to end the trip! Great job fellas!

[@tomcleghorn4005]

I’m sure the trail is a lot tougher in the dark and it looked hard in daylight. Mad respect too the fj😊

[@garion464]

Morning folks!

[@MarkoMygun]

You should be proud Paul you did AWESOME Driving Man. And Hunter GREAT FILMING. Thanks for taking us along guy's.

[@detroitdiy]

Thanks for talking us along, it's good to see the FJ doing FJ things. Great video guy's.

[@shepherd8203]

That scrape across the fab rats logo should be the next T-shirt! That looks so cool.

[@thelonewrangler1008]

The 24hr Hell and Back series is some of the best off road content on YT by far. Thanks Marvin

[@xvsj5833]

Crazy off road excitement!!! Shoutout to Paul, Hunter, Rudy and Marvin !!! Go BIG or go home 💛✌🏻💪🏻

[@Kevin-ti3rz]

Wow !! You know your machine and what it can do. Amazing driving up that spot you were on your side.

[@kimetherington2252]

This video wants to make you go build your own FJ! Wow what a trail 24 hrs to hell and back that was! I would of never thought you wouldn't have to work on something before it was over! It goes to show just how good of a builder you are and an accomplished driver you have to be for these events! Fab Rats you rock no pun intended! Til next time, see you then. 😊

[@johntimm7265]

Paul your driving skills are amazing.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

That was an amazing adventure for you and for Hunter. The best part is that you made it through the whole thing. You should be very proud of yourself! Thank you for sharing! Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family!

[@Mike_and_Life]

Insane! Awesome job and thanks for taking us with you

[@haroldshobbies]

I’ve watched the other videos and what really stands out is Rory and his crew. They are absolutely top notch. Incredible spotters and drivers.

[@kevinhutter9992]

Paul Cox's driving skills proved their worth, & so did the FJ45!

[@jimstratfordfl]

What a great tribute to your build skills.

[@dave6501]

That's Hilarious! Hunter: " it's not horrible; it's edible; it beats a tuna sandwich." 😂🤣🤓 Hunter that's funny. 👍👍

[@HardcountsAdventures]

So much character in that FJ, by far my favorite ride of the series, good job!

[@charleswelch249]

That's a real challenge for anyone, the best part is you went with friends and Hunter.

[@bobbyc167]

I’ve heard of work hard, play harder, but damn, that’s next level!! And you completed it with a handicap, you know…the smallest tires and all.😂

[@williamsanders2808]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "You guys are all nuts! But in a good way!" Thanks for taking me along for the ride. That's as close as I'll ever get to that kind of wheeling.

[@JRs-Garage]

That trail is absolutely nuts , it’s a dedicated buggy trail and you rode it like a boss! Hell YA!24 hrs

[@55chevy327]

I have been watching, I have loved how Paul, Rory, and Rudy are looking out for each other.

[@davidjb3671]

From what I've seen Rory was looking after everyone. A truly amazing guy...

[@Myotis05]

So is Rory the best spotter ever or what? Certainly the first person I would want spotting me! That last obstacle where you when on your side and kept calm and drove out of it was AMAZING!

[@jeffreyharbert3439]

That scratch and dent couldn’t have been more perfectly placed! You know,just underlining the logo with emphasis 🤷🏼‍♂️!

[@joemcintyre2090]

The nice thing about watching these videos is I'm safe and I'm not breaking anything!

[@davidmiller6010]

This was obviously weeks ago. Green trees, green weeds, short sleeves. One can only presume you are taking a few days off for the holidays. GOOD FOR YOU! Good that you had some film in the can, so to speak. It must be a lot of pressure to crank out and drop 3 videos a week! I followed over here from Matt when you did the Golden Nugget. NOW YOU ARE MY FAVORITE CHANNEL! Take all the time you need, and you do you. We'll be waiting. Thanks for sharing.

[@skyepilotte11]

That was one tough trail...Great to see Rory, Rudy and Shawn, great help.. well done Paul and Hunter.

[@HillbillyHippie-mm6bt]

I was wondering if we would ever get this video. Thank you 🍻🤙🏻

[@Kristof-Kay]

that was knarly as hell, great job getting through the 24hrs, thanks for sharing

[@NoahFroio]

I sure hope Billy Conn is watching this to see what his old FJ45 can really do!! He got to ride in it, but, this is where she really shines!!

[@dacurlydac3042]

Enough people do that trial and all the rocks will be at the low spots. It is an ever changing trail. Well done Fab Rats team.

[@pestcontrolguys]

We all knew that FJ is the stuff! Great job as always!

[@dianeenlow123]

It looked like a tough and scary trail, so I know you guys had a fantastic time. I’ve seen some other videos about this ride they were awesome.

[@fordtrknut]

That must have been a blast! I am surprised you didn't slice a tire wide open with the sharp rocks. Hope you got some sleep!

[@johnhaley9829]

I love at the 9:00 mark, Paul has the yota stood on its tail, throttling and bumping on the rocks and Hunter is just popping snacks in his mouth like "meh, no big deal"

[@dirtyernie65]

That FJ is a bad Sumbitch !! Nice wheeling Paul.

[@328DaveGTS]

Dear Paul and the Fab Rats crew you should all be proud of the accomplishments of getting through this trail YOTA is my all round favourite truck . it was great to see everyone pitch in on repairs and you where always part of that crew, that just says big things will out saying much. Yota is a truck to recon with great job Fab Rats

[@breckjones5987]

What Paul lacked in tire size he made up with skilled driving and a great attitude. Very impressed !

[@bigbob16]

Paul will do almost anything for a t-shirt...nice job Paul and Hunter...great shots Hunter

[@ronwatson4135]

*It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of fight in the dog. And 40" Wheels and all you guys made it. Great Job !*

[@Sakratic]

So proud of Paul, Hunter, especially on the last obstacle!!! That was super gnarly and typical Paul Cox type wheeling!!! What makes it all extra special for me and I'm sure a bunch of other supporters of Fab Rats is having that familiar feeling that I get when my Home Team does well, against and in comparison to your peers, of which, I'm sure their followers will begin to follow your channel after seeing what you're about and how you go about things. You guys are the home team that I'll always root for and actually that also goes for Rory, Rudy, Mike, Shawn, and Matt and team as well. I FONDLY REMEMBERED THAT I STARTED FOLLOWING ALL OF YOU AT AROUND THE SAME TIME, AGAIN BECAUSE YOU ALL HAD THE BUSINESS SENSE, PLUS THAT NATURAL INSTINCT TO WANT TO HELP OTHERS, COLLABING AND HELPING EACH OTHER REACH SIMILAR GOALS. I MUST ALSO EXPRESS THAT I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU ALL PROVED ME CORRECT AS I KNEW RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING THAT YOU ALL HAD AMAZINGLY UNIQUE PERSONALITIES, AS WELL AS SPECIALIZED TALENTS, NOT TO MENTION, YOU ALL HAVE SOUND LOGIC, THE RIGHT, NEVER QUIT ATTITUDE, PLUS ALL YOUR AMAZING WHEELING SKILLS AND TALENT WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING, FABING, FIXING, AND JUST HAVING ALL THAT GREAT BROTHERHOOD, CAMARADERIE, AND CLOSE KNIT FAMILY APPEAL THAT DEFINITELY ATTRACTED ME RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. JUST SUPER PROUD AND HAPPY THAT YOU ALL HAVE PROVEN ME RIGHT, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO YOUR CHANNELS. I CAN HONESTLY SAY I ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE WEEKLY NEW CONTENT, THAT YOU ALL PUT OUT. HAPPY NEW YEARS FAB RATS!!!

The FJ has a new badge of honor! 24 Hell n Back! It is my fav little rig on YT so I’m happy to see it showing up n showing out! Great driving Paul!

[@DJsHotRodFab]

You have one of the baddest rigs period. Amazing that you wheeled that thing for 24 hours on a buggy trail and didn't break anything. A seriously well built rig.

[@taylormade710]

Great driving, proving your driving ability with your FJ equals your fabrication skills.

That was simply aMaZing!!!! Hunter the camera slinger you are too cool! Love our Fab Rats! Paul & the FJ can go anywhere!

I'm constantly amazed at what all you guys do with your trucks! Congratulations on getting through it without breaking anything

Paul you and your crew build some really capable rigs. I became a fan watching the derby days and have watched since. Congrats on completing the 24 hell challenge.

[@bradleymadosh911]

Yous built a hell of a truck Paul and crew. Ben deserves credit also because he was there the hole time Building this mean machine. Its unbelievable how thise trucks drive up rocks like they do

[@caseyrenner7024]

Ben didn't help build the FJ That was Paul's Cousin Randall who helped out, and Chad From Chads fab, helped with the wiring. The FJ was built before Ben started. Ben Helped build the Tow truck

[@dazzleyd]

That challenge is no joke, you boys earned your self a beer!!

[@thunderstruck1078]

Nice filming Hunter. This "passenger perspective" really puts things into perspective, literally, LOL. It makes these obstacles look way worse.

[@Dirtyrpide4life]

I am so happy you have gained traction that you deserve in the digital community! I don’t know you that well , but enjoy the channel and content . Coming from derby Utah enthusiasts it is exciting to see the network work together.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from watching the channel, is the Paul is going to get out of whatever situation he’s in. Had no doubt the FJ would get through

[@michaelpistone8235]

I've been watching on Flex Rocks and Rollovers - it's great watching all of those awesome rigs muscling over the obstacles and bouncing off the rocks; then you see Paul and Rory just drive right over the same spots - no drama, no effort, just raw talent.
