Paul’s rock crawling skills blow my mind. I have done a bit of crawling in my day, Paul naturally sees the lines.

[@TheBibliofilus]

Plus only needing to worry about the glass on the vehicle with the patina instead of paintjob and any dents will be beauty marks.

[@jdougn2255]

Ben was doing a good job spotting Robbie, so he must've been rock crawlin' more than a few times too!

[@ryanscott1316]

Ya.. I get we break it, will fix it but Paul takes that to another level. Literally

[@williameddy1662]

@@jdougn2255 I don`t know Ben`s background , but , he very much seems Paul`s equal in the shop, and quite possibly out of the shop . They work well together . They are both level headed guys with a quiet sense of humor . ( I do think that Paul should have done a better job of " introducing him " when he started . )

[@evanrmoon]

Was going to say the same thing. I'd like to see more of their rock crawling adventures in the future

[@stubbingtonmarigold3032]

I like the way Ben is still wearing a shop work shirt and has pens/tools in his pocket- even when going out to play

My friend's father was an electrical engineer, I never saw him with a pen, lead pencil, a slide rule and I think a pad, in his shirt pocket, 20 years after he retired he was still carrying that stuff. He was a neat guy.

[@theninja001]

Reminds me of Marlin C from Marlin Crawler

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

I was hiking a slot canyon with a group of friends in Southern Utah when the little stream running down the middle doubled in size, then doubled again. As we were double timing it out of there, we passed several groups hiking in. I tried warning them, but nobody listened. I'm sure I sounded like a crazy person because I was freaking out, but it still surprised me how ignorant they were about the danger, and how unwilling they were to listen to the warning of a local. Fortunately, the water subsided so nobody died.

[@ryurc3033]

Not sure if people really realize how extreme that notch was. That's some good crawling, and a rescue after. Killer video as usual

[@antisocialjusticewarrior2073]

Don't break that glass !

[@randomheroat420]

I've commented on Ben before, but it's great he's on the channel. It's so freaking awesome to see 2 brothers enjoying what they truly love. You both are blessed, I wish my brothers and I could do the same. Keep at it, I'm a fab 🐀 forever! Sincerely, Jimmy.

[@NorthernContrarian]

I wish I had a brother.

That’s kinda what I was thinking too haha

[@steelmill888]

B F Goodrich is a Class Act.I have been using their tires for years.Good to see Dar wheeling his Jeep with you guys.

[@levikelley1842]

The only tires I've seen compare to bfgs is when Goodyear first came out with the Kevlar mtr mud terrains. As long as you spin em up to clean out the treads they took me through swamps I had no business in lol

[@bretthibbs6083]

I agree and I have been too I've been using them for the last 15 years or so and they've been awesome tires. My first time using them was way back in the 90's and I had the bfg radial t/a street tires and they were great. But now I use bfg all terrains ko2s on my jeep wrangler.

[@sickjohnson]

That's the fact Jack!!

[@levikelley1842]

@@bretthibbs6083 I got the same thing on my 06 Tacoma, I just wish the sidewalls were a little more aggressive

[@Bryanja81]

My grandpa taught me that tire lift trick, many years ago with a round of firewood for pulling stumps and old fence posts. Physics!

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

A friend of mine taught me a valuable lesson. He bought a brand new Dirt Bike helmet, unboxed it, wiped it down, and took a photo of it all new, clean and shiny. He then threw it across the driveway onto the gravel. It's better to get the first scratch over with and then you don't have to worry about when it will happen.

[@timmaki5675]

The look on Robbie's face on part's of this adventure were classic

[@MrPhatkatz]

Great video guys, as usual. Nice to see the FJ out doing its thing, Paul you built that thing perfectly. Great job, number one KZbin channel going right now...... 👍👍👍

[@DougBennettActs6-1]

Great work all. Robby's face tells all. Wet sand is the only thing I ever got stuck in. No one to call, no cell phones back then. We used CB radio to call an old-timer hermit who had a landline. But couldn't get through to him. So, on my own. I found a log, put it near the rear, used the high-lift and pushed it off the jack sideways 20 times to spin the bronco onto higher ground and went home. 4 hours work. Don't know where I learned the spare tire trick but used it many times. I started carrying a 13-inch wheel with no tire to save space for the uplift. The high-lift pushing it off sideways will get almost anything out of anything.

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Ben giving Robby a rock crawling lesson. Paul is a amazing driver. Awesome stuff!!!

[@ronaldbirdsong8267]

Well Robbie is kind of a newbie to this but man that smile on PAUL’s face when he got up over the one he didn’t think he could climb dude that right there is definitely priceless, love it.

[@git-r-done6557]

Paul is an Amazing guy. He can fix anything, and has a nice personality.

[@johnofnew]

Would love to see that FJ painted in military CARC Desert colored paint.

[@ttroy350]

Nice to see positive wheeling content. Here in tn everyone would be drinking acting like they have no brain

[@josiatokirina1788]

Learned something new today! "The Spare Tire Rescue." Love your channel guys, and WOW can the Yota crawl! Thanks for sharing!

[@viperBSG]

The FJ's a beast man! What a truck!

[@7123]

I would never have thought of that tyre trick. I know you have to break the suction by getting upwards lift, but that tyre trick is amazingly simple and worked so fast :o

[@jackmoyer2174]

Good to see Papa Dar’s Jeep! That build was the one that hooked me!😄

[@larrydavidson3402]

That tire trick getting the side by side out was pretty clever idea Paul.

[@donaldbrown6044]

Here in the south, we encounter mud and suction all the time and that spare tire trick is a regular in our bag of tricks.

[@ripvanrevs]

@@donaldbrown6044 The suction might equal 2 more times the weight of the vehicle. Have you watched 4WD-24-7 out of Australia? They love to wheel through mud bogs and get buried on a regular basis.

[@TowMan127]

That yota is freaking awesome!!! Love that trick with the rope and wheel. 👏👏💪💪💪

[@chriskayakq-ster7264]

This was one fun filled video for sure! Spare tire/wheel for pulling upwards breaking the suction on the 4x4 in stream quicksand was interesting learning experience. Fab Rats to the rescue again. Nice!!!

[@dougbourdo2589]

The old spare tire to pull fence posts out trick on a side by side. Worked like a charm.

[@bernieshort6311]

That was amazing, and you got to help someone out, how much better can it get? @ 9:33 (ish) Robbie was looking awfully nervous and you Paul said, "there we got it" and Robbie pulled a nervous laugh and again @ 10:14 (ish) you went Ha, Ha ha ha ha and again Robbie’s face turned from frightened to a smile. Mind you he will only get better with driving with you guys and seeing how it is. That was ace, thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@II-gn7lk]

Robby is like a character on an animated show. Same shirt, same hat, same pants every time you see him.

[@ottawa875]

Matt was right; Paul is the kind of driver who would always be bold even more than other rock crawlers, as long as there's no dying danger; Robbie can fix it. Man, Paul is so cool. I hope he never loses that

[@K3NnY_G]

9:00 is some absolute god damn wheelin'. And it usually doesn't come free.

[@mikeworkman3593]

They put those systems in the ready mix trucks I used to work on, all the way back since the late 90s. Pretty sweet setup. I guess they were always getting stuck, but also used them to make sure even if they ran over a nail, they would make it to the job with that kicked cement

[@ronaldburton5163]

the spare tire was an ingenious idea never seen that before on for the memory bank!! thanks Paul.

[@jkvinsland]

It's an old farm trick for pulling out stumps.

[@nickframe6743]

Spare tyre trick working a treat. Comes in real useful when it rains here in Australia too.

I use the same tire technique for tree stumps and fence posts. Great work, especially when it's smarter not harder. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@mikedesilets3324]

I spotted that trail trash bag a while ago. Just emailed an inquiry and was informed it is coming out soon. Now you announced it. Sweet.

[@sandspike2929]

That rescue puts Matt’s Rescue to shame. Great idea using the spare tire to add needed lift!

[@isleno101]

Soon as I saw how deep that Razer was stuck (13:08) and seeing the equipment you had on hand to pull it out, the first thing to go through my mind was "How the heck are they going to break that suction?" Well, had never seen a spare tire put to such use before but it as hell was effective. Great video. Entertaining from start to finish.

[@ToyotaandDodgeGarage]

I'm not surprised you made it up that rock wall lol. So awesome! Also excellent rescue!

[@chadb83731]

Robbies facial expressions when he rode with Paul in the FJ was priceless lol

That was the hàrdest path I think i have seen you take. That was wild and Robbie's face said it all. Gnarly crawling Paul! You go where most can hardly watch you go it scares them so much. Pucker scale broke on that one. Nice!

Awesome wheelin', Paul!!

[@dmorgan28]

Paul you had me on the edge of my seat on some of those routes you took. lol😅 You did a good job and made it though. I think Ben was even sweatin it. I gotta say when you guys went to rescue those guys in the river bottoms and that razor was buried down to the frame, you took a tire and that special strap and a BFG tire and put it up over it. That was pretty cool. It lifted it right up. Cool trick!!!👍❤️

[@tomcleghorn4005]

Well that looks like a fun day out. Minus the rain

[@harlech2]

I think it's awesome to see how much BFG supports all the communities they are involved in.

[@AntiPattern328]

The only reason I can think of where your FJ runs cool at slow speeds then overheats when you're driving fast is that the fan is on backwards so when you're fast, the air is pushing against the direction the fan is moving air. I've seen it before!!! Lol!

[@earlrichardet2102]

That FJ is one amazing machine. Of course the driver isn't so bad either.... Good fun!!

[@finterjohnston7882]

That FJ is a serious machine. Very nice.

[@johnkranz4004]

Kool Air system and Good recovery Paul and Ben

Ever thought about a roll bar over that back seat? Quick attach or folding so when someone is back there, well you know.

I love the trick with the spare tire.

[@peterlittle9935]

That was an amazing trick with the spare tire thank you for that one

[@marvincarter870]

Paul and Ben make a great team in doing what they do if it's pulling out a side by side from the river bed or just crawling around with Robby and Papa Dar! It's amusing watching Robby and his facial features when he's in these precarious situations! He's getting better and more skilled at maneuvering through the rock's and trail's. Paul and Ben have year's of experience that guide them through even the toughest obstacles. Get the AC in the FJ and these rides will be much more pleasant!

[@rickbarger5161]

That was really slick using that spare tire to lift the front of the vehicle Looks like a fun day but the heat would be too much for me

[@psg6314]

Great video and great job with the recovering and wheeling keep up the good work God bless from GA

[@Mudpuppyjunior]

That cab on the rock seemed like a pretty good argument for not painting the FJ.

[@simonjones7785]

the joys of diff locks total control with 2 wheels off the floor nice kit

[@taco472]

They have been using a similar tire inflation system on log trucks up here in the Pacific Northwest for years, in fact the Weyerhaeuser co, requires it on some of their haul roads in some areas to haul for them. There are pros and cons to it on trucks. It’s actually easier on the roads plus the traction advantage but there is some higher maintenance costs and on duals you don’t get one flat you get two.

[@thesillypig785]

You have no idea how much envy you guys for such a awesome terrain to wheel on. Here in the Netherlands I can't even find that kinda terrain for my RC crawlers unless it's completely manmade. Which is nowhere.

[@dougalexander7204]

Great video. Relaxed doing cool stuff. Paul rock crawling and smiling like a mule eat’n briars…. Ben always knows stuff and prepared to hunt bear with a switch, Papa Dar, being an old basic materials man myself, I totally get. Robby is so talented and with his wife, they are the cutest kids on the block. I’ll take my hat off to you fellas and gals.

[@TheRealPOTUSDavidByrd]

"it ain't got no gas in it" lmao also props to pulling it out using the same technique that we use to pull bushes out of the ground so they don't yeet themselves through the back windshield lol

Pretty awesome trail including the Paul scuff. The FJ is one of the coolest builds you have done and get to see thru the new windshield. Good recovery.
