[@MattsOffRoadRecovery]

Thanks for the help Paul and crew!

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

You hit the drivelines on the rock? Probably have to build shield for driveline. Glad you all help each other.

[@lhinze]

Paul can now claim to have The World's Largest Offroad Wrecker Wrecker™.

[@scottcochran384]

the Wrecker looks great Matt, just a small bump in the road of building, finding the weak spots.. "this too shall pass"

[@Weidjeep]

Matt we know you're holding stinge on the wrecker footage. The anticipation is massive 😜😜

[@Mr12BS]

Paul and crew being humble won't keep reminding you on how they rescued you.

[@randallday7737]

Prayers and speedy recovery for Hunter because we know he's the one that makes you guys look good🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lawrenceelliott2016]

I would give about anything to hang out with Paul Ben and Matt . The camaraderie is priceless .

[@TxRiderDave]

Poor Hunter. Ben’s Jeep makes Fab Rats muster. Nice job guys! Thanks for bringing us along to KOH.

[@terrywells3955]

Hunter sending prayers 🙏🏼 for a speedy recovery, looks like you all had a blast .

[@johnashcraft9410]

Congratulations on being the first to tow the world's largest off road wrecker..... Rory will probably be jealous :)

[@briandemas2548]

Prayers for a fast recovery of Hunter! Yes he is a part of the team at Fab Rats, a talented camera guy! We love you Hunter.😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@01trsmar]

Rest in Peace....Yes,he needs rest!

[@drgunit893]

The FJ still amazes me every time you go wheelin , awesome stuff !

[@Doogie_Causey]

Feel Better Soon Hunter! Thanks Paul and Ben for taking us along to king of the hammers

[@johntimm7265]

It’s great to see Ben’s Jeep work so well.

[@JoeJ-8282]

This event was like the "rave" or "music festival" of the "extreme off-road people", kind of like "EDC" in Las Vegas! Awesome!

[@Scott-tw8go]

Gotta give a shout out to Michelle, her editing really takes these videos to the next level!

[@TxIndy01]

Yep. Splicing in clips of Hunter recovering while everyone was out having fun was classic! 👍

[@thegoat9473]

It's been so fun to watch her get so much better and better at editing from when I first started watching the channel! The video quality continues to grow! Kudos Michelle!

[@Sturmcrow1]

No kidding! Video editing is a thankless job.

[@javabeanz8549]

It looked like Michelle had fun editing this one!

[@bigchevy350boy]

No doubt! She rocked this one 💪 🤘

[@airic2897]

Aww bummer for Hunter, hope you recover quick and feel better soon

[@ryanmartin4453]

Hearing Paul, Ben, and Matt giving jabs at each other is hilarious. You all are awesome!

[@dianeenlow123]

Too bad Hunter couldn’t make the trip. Hope he is feeling better real soon. Looks like you all had a good time. Paul got him a good tale to tell. Poor Matt anyone but Paul.

[@peterpiper2719]

Great wheelin but Hunter was the star of this episode. Get well soon buddy!

[@jeffkay6146]

Congrats on being the first person to rescue the world's biggest off-road wrecker!!

[@sigmanoir]

Big prayers for Hunter for a speedy recovery. This video was awesome, so great to see Ben's Jeep finally being enjoyed and to see Yoda in all it's glory. It was incredible to see Matt's Wrecker just crawl up the side of a mountain like it didn't exist. Thanks for taking us along.

[@carguy_tmh]

Thats too many people for me to ever go in person, I'm glad I got to experience it with you!

[@bluegrallis]

I'm guessing, probably not too many old time farmers ever made it rock crawling. We learn early on, "It's easier to plow AROUND the stump!" 😎😆 Get well soon Hunter!

[@m9ovich785]

HAHHAHAAHAAHA. or Blow them Up...

[@DonAshcraft]

That workshop trailer with the mechanics bay is amazing! They are probably common, but I personally have not seen one before. Very cool!

[@baanjones5910]

Paul is a cool dude… calm, considerate and helpful. Awesome video. The biggest wrecker was great to see. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@FOADJEWTUBE]

FOR REAL, A REAL MAN IN PAUL THAT WE ALL NEED TO EXLEMPLIFY AND BE REAL AND WORTHY WEN AT ALL POSSIBLE IN OUR SHORT LIVES...AMEN

[@SparkyLovesHisDrone]

Poor Hunter, I feel bad 4 the guy. Get well hunter & we miss your camera work! Michele, like always, did a great job editing including Hunters status @ home while recovering. Get better Hunter! U guys R AWESOME! Thanks 4 sharing your lives! 🫶

[@kevinking3402]

Always an incredible joy watching you tow Matt around. 😂😂😂😂

[@shullln]

That tow should count for 1 extra point at the wrecker games... 🤣

[@cephurs]

glad this channel is taking off. y'all are taking over the entertainment industry and I appreciate the efforts to bring us content.

[@willbob4038]

Hunter, get well soon. Got a lot of work cut out for you at the next event. Lol. Ben, glad to see you wheeling. Paul, thank you for taking us along on the journey. I've been out there. But not in that capacity let's say. You guys are all doing great things showing us something other then politics. Keep up the hard work.

[@scottcochran384]

really enjoyed that, Thanks for taking us along.. I must admit the VIDEO section of Matt being pulled was Epic.. but i'm sure it won't be the last time.. and should the need arise He will Return that favor.. Great to see you guys all willing to help each other out. Friends Helping Friends. as it should be. but i'd save that clip to show Matt as often as needed..lol

[@detroitdiy]

Looks like a great time, dust overload but great. The smile on Bens face says it all, his jeep did amazing. Great video guy's.

[@littlearsehole75]

Thanks for taking us with you!

[@thomasgoolsby8661]

1st, I am glad to see that Hunter's surgery went well and he seems to be doing well. 2nd. I'm sorry that Matt's wrecker broke now but better now than later. I was funny. I am glad that you were the one to rescue him. 3rd. You and your truck just do these climbs so effortless. You looked great out there. 4th. I was glad to see that both Ben and Chad's new trucks both looked great.

[@markbaehne9389]

So sorry Hunter ,get well soon , Hammers looks so fun

[@hakanskogstjarna5180]

Oh Hunter, I feel you! Having had three abdominal surgeries in 10 months I know all about the feeling of being run over by a semi... please take it easy and you will mend good. Blessings!

[@Neckrom13]

That sucks hunter. Same thing happened to me in my 20s. If the rest of your immune system is good you will be good to go in no time. Im 50 now and its never held me back. Just remember to keep up on your tetanus shots. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you.

[@j_rainsgoat3929]

Why to appendixes fail?

[@Neckrom13]

@@j_rainsgoat3929 not 100% sure. It's more common than you would think. I felt like hell run over. They knew right away when I went to ER what the issue was. I was in surgery within 20 minutes. The recovery kind of sucks so I expect Hunter will be taking it easy for a few weeks to months. But once healed up he should feel like a million bucks.

[@kimetherington2252]

Prayed for Hunter's speedy recovery! We missed Michelle at the Hammers this year! Paul's rock crawler is the bomb and Ben's jeep did great for his first event! I absolutely loved seeing Paul rescue Matt's wrecker when I know it's going to be a Tow truck to be reckoned with when it's finished! See you all Sunday! Til next time take care and stay safe...

[@williamjohnson1606]

That was awesome! Thanks for taking us along. So happy to see Ben's Jeep performer well. Hunter wishing you a quick recovery. And I 2nd what was already said Michelle does an amazing job on these videos. Fab Rats is the best channel out there!

[@keith2059]

Hello Fab Rats, Welcome to California! Good luck at the Hammers!! Hunter hope you have a fast recovery! Hope you, your family, friends and fans are well! Take care, be safe, and peace out!

[@KENNEY1023]

Get feel and better soon Hunter.

[@burnerloco4138]

Born and raised in California, I left there 29 years ago, and the desert is 2 most thing I really miss, my family is first. Thanks for sharing, Johnson Valley brings back memories

[@geroldknoebel3836]

I think it's very nice when two friends, without asking much help each other, are always there for each other. Simple, very nice and great. Hunter, get well soon and be healthy again. Greetings from Frankfurt.

[@chicnwing4519]

That last look at your truck covered in dust killed it for me

[@cosmicranger1]

Love the editing: KOH star vehicles and personalities interspersed with Hunter's Gypsy guitar themed appendix updates. Big fun! Thanks Michelle and all the usual suspects!

[@450rhino1]

Gotta love the relationship between you all. Nice to see this day in age. HAVE FUN GUYS.

[@jameswatson2066]

Hunter we all love you and miss you hope you have a speedy recovery and get well soon there's always next year !

[@dragonrace43]

Poor hunter, hope you feel better man

[@brucekrisko4364]

We're all glad to see you guy's made it to The Hammers! We had fun watching you all having fun.

[@travisbohannontboogleplano6751]

Get well soon Hunter. We miss your joking around with Paul and Ben. Great video Michelle. Getting better and better at editing all the time.

[@brucebissell7626]

BEN'S JEEP IS AWESOME! I BET HE IS SO HAPPY WITH THAT THING. LOT'S OF LOVE TO YOU BROTHERS. GOD BLESS HUNTER. 😇

[@ianmcleod8898]

Hunter doesn't look like he is going to run any marathons for now. Rest up dude Hammertown will be waiting next time. Speedy recovery from Down Under👍👍 Your an asset to the Fab Rats Team!

[@b4uracing]

The old man shuffle to get a water refill....

[@tonytrumble]

Get better Hunter. Hope your recovery is quick and as pain free as possible.

[@MetalMachine131]

That wrecker might just be the most beautifull offroad vehicle I have ever seen.

[@fredism1960]

Here's wishing a speedy recovery for Hunter!

[@duffadkins1163]

Poor Hunter, not only did he miss King of Hammer’s but now he’s missing his appendix too. Dang the luck. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Ben’s Jeep did well, I’m sure he is pleased ! And of course, Paul’s rig made everything look easy ! Especially pulling Matt’s wrecker…js. However, the best part of the video was what Paul said while pulling Matt’s wrecker. Respect given is respect earned, Paul understands.

[@larryfreeman7979]

Hunter, you wont be missing that appendix very long. As a human organ, they are vastly overrated. 😷⚕

[@Quacks0]

@@larryfreeman7979 Not true --- your appendix is actually very important in your fight against infection, just like your tonsils. That "it's just a dormant organ left over from evolution" lie was just "an old doctor's tale", and has been disproven by more-modern research.

[@spaight711]

It’s OK. Appendix is like the fuel gauge on Matt’s cars; ya don’t really need it.

[@davehiltabidel1006]

Wow looked like u guys had fun . Wishing for a speedy recovery for Hunter. Bens jeep did awesome looks like the long hours paid off.

[@mikekarlymccasland330]

Matt, thanks for the 30 seconds of screen time!!!! 3:00-3:27!!! Glad to see how big KOH is getting

[@alaskanfamilyoutbackadvent5743]

Lol😂. You guys friendship comes through the camera. Thanks for bringing us along

[@chrischristenson4547]

The comment about California roads being rough from guys who think boulders are a freeway is really funny

[@domination1985]

Kind of ironic

[@jamessieker1712]

All the roads in sections are like driving on wash boards

[@markgrube2772]

I'm from California city Ca and the paved roads out here are worse than are dirt roads

[@719vol]

Can I interest you in a trip to Michigan? Crumbling infrastructure capital of the developed world.

[@rdf6852]

Sad but true, theres a joke in Cali…..Whats big, orange and sleeps six? A CalTrans truck….CalTrans are the folks who are supposed to fix the roads….you drive by while theyre “working” all you see is five guys leaning on a shovel watching one guy use a shovel.

[@kenbrown4954]

Get better soon , Hunter...i know you are not sick , we just want you to be better....lol

[@jankybit]

Aw man, seeing the hammers videos always makes me super nostalgic for childhood summers. My grandparents live very close to there, so it's a little slice of home. Glad you guys are having fun! Hunter's gonna be back and at 'em in no time.

[@rickyd3215]

I get a kick out of seeing you guys enjoying the fruits of all your hard work! And as a bonus I feel like I contributed by watching every stage of your effort from the comfort of my recliner! Thanks to Michelle for the great editing! And to Hunter, get well soon!

[@jefftrue79]

Wrecker looks awesome Matt!

[@simonb2991]

How did I not know Ben was Pauls brother :D

[@petercrawford2597]

Paul is the only guy who's got his tyre pressure bang on.. But testiment to his build and driving skill he makes everything look effortless..

[@Richard-ml1te]

Thanks for taking us along

[@ChristisKing117]

The Wrecker looks cool. It will definitely take awhile to get that thing dialed in. Just curious if they used a Yankum to get Hunter’s appendix out?

[@cotton-Dave]

Bill--Good one!!

[@rickcooper6817]

Thanks for the fun trip! Get well soon Hunter. Good shakedown for that big yeller thang that Matt was driving and icing on the cake to see Paul pulling it back to the camp. Ben's jeep was looking strong on the trail.

[@elginnelson7934]

Lizzie is a great "instinctive" driver and she also does exactly what Matt tells her, exactly when he tells her to do it. They make a great team.

[@007twm]

Prayers sent for Hunter's complete healing. Great video as usual. Thanks.

[@jamessmith7691]

Thanks for taking us along. This place is very big with all kinds of stuff to do. That trailer with the ramps and access pit was jaw dropping. Need a tool, everything is right there. Then there's poor hunter. I hope he heals up fast. He's a good fit to the show.

[@williamjohnson1606]

I agree that repair trailer was next level cool!

[@headflat449]

Gimme a break. It was just his appendix. Easily one of the most harmless, basic surgeries ever.

[@jamessmith7691]

@@headflat449 Some can have complications from it. A kind word never hurt.

[@Rattlecanjeff]

Awesome guys. Glad Ben’s new build seemed problem free. Too bad about Hunter. Hope he is on the mend.

Really happy to see Hunter at home recovering and Ben's jeep doing it's thing on the rocks. The FJ looked beastly and looks like fun was had by all. Thanks Michelle for putting it all together and making it look good.

Great video Paul it's okay that you had to save Matt you've got to work the bugs out of every rig that's built and it's great content who knows he might have to save you when you test your tow rig and seeing all you guys together helping each other out is what it's all about have fun be safe and God bless you all

[@marvincarter870]

Oh wow lots going on at KOfH! Ben's Jeep worked out awesome and that's a testimony to Paul and Ben's many skills! That was funny Paul towing Matt's biggest heavy wrecker out! Matt's wrecker isn't a virgin anymore he did his first recovery! Lot's and lot's of people and vehicles there at King of the Hammer meet. Good video and thanks Matt and Ben for running the camera. Repaired some vehicles there to! Great video ♥️

[@chriscash4118]

You make the best videos and coverage . No hair pulling music and drama just commentary on what's real . Thank you . Your truck was strong and impressive against other so called compotation . Even the ones you had to toe back that didn't make it . maybe they should have sucked it up and asked your advice on their build . Great job .

[@IR-nq4qv]

I don'tknow if he did but Matt should've mounted a couple of Go-Pros under his wrecker as an aid to identify any flex or over extensions and added stress on components or weak areas needing re-enforcements / under load. For the first time out Ben's Jeep did great as did Paul's Yota. Given the fact that this was probably the first shakedown, I think Matt's wrecker shows a lot of potential under extreme conditions , I'm sure he'll have it ironed out by the time the wrecker rodeo rolls around. Good job fellas, get well Hunter.

[@rzero21]

Matt doesn't do a lot of monitoring to his fleet. He simply goes, drives, and if something gets damaged, MORR team fixes it

I definitely no how it feels to be all cooped up while others are out having a good time!!! I actually also have a really big surgery coming up the end of February!!!! Get better buddy and maybe they picked up something for you at hammer town!!
