Congratulations! You're doing fantastic on camera and are truly developing your own style. Keep it up! Additionally, Paul couldn't have asked for a better right-hand man at the store than Tom.
You guys need to give Grandma more hugs. She puts up with a lot and keeps on trucking.
What are you even saying!? She starts it all!!😂😂😂😂😂
17:22 I wake up every morning not feeling right. I just can't get back to my old self. When my Dad died unexpectedly 11 years ago I just haven't been there same. I'm trying my hardest just can't shake the depression and anxiety. Love your channel keep the videos coming
I’m sorry you’re still struggling buddy. Depression is Real. You should try some Counseling, there’s nothing wrong with it, and I bet You will find you Happy again. Sometimes we all need a little help. Merry Christmas, I hope you get your Spirit back!
Same here! I never met my real dad because he passed, so I lived with my grandparents all my life. My grandfather was the greatest dad! Then he passed when I was 27 in 2013 then 3yrs later my grandmother (mom) passed. So I definitely know where you're coming from.
That's a LOT of progress! People may not realize how much sitting and staring takes place building stuff like that from scratch actually takes.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
This dynamic with Cooper and Tom is a real change. Coopers whit and general comradery is great. He comes across as a pretty smart person, Nice. Tom is great too with his dry humor and retorts! I like the new set up .
I too like longer content!
I like Cooper a lot too. I think he needs to work on his stage voice, but other than that, he's seems to be a natural.
G'Ma just a cold hearted, verbal sniper. And I'm here for it. "I gave birth to a genius." as she walks off.
Haha verbal sniper that's great, I'm so going to use that one down the road 😄
The " Taco " is getting closer to being done! It will work and function very well. Teamwork is the key! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Please Keep the longer videos. I like it. There never enough from FabRats
I love the long episodes.I wish we could get Paul to do hunting videos.I don't know what it would take but i'm trying to get him to do it
Michelle you are killing it with the editing. Good job I love this channel my favorite thing to watch since the Dukes of Hazards show 😂
Lot's of work going on with the Taco and the upgrades are going to be awesome! Love Grandma Lolly!
" I gave birth to a genius" LOLZ! Love G'Ma Lolly!!!
I’m digging the longer episodes. 40 - 60 minutes is great
Anything longer than 30 minutes I will fast forward through or won’t watch till the end.
I agree the longer videos are great to see from this crew because this crew is like normal people and not ones that think they're better than others. Keep up the great work...
@dnstpn51 that's a you problem.
Just came over from Mini Jeeps on The Peck Brothers . What a way to start my day ✓ with a little Matt and Tom Tom to round everything out
Me Too, thats funny
Right
I came from the spud truck build then over to peck bros
Peck bros # 1 & fab rats a close close second. Im afraid peck brothers are gonna take off . With there humor & like ability .
I do the same on Sundays
I know why I really like your videos. It reminds me of working on cars and other projects with my uncle and my older brother. Things got done but there always was a good amount of ribbing going on and if you screwed up it would not go unnoticed.
31:51 hey! Don’t judge the peach fuzz… we all started like that.
The Taco looks SWEEEEET with those super duty axles. The wheels are Firestoner's set it off!
It does! Needs some Baja style front fenders for some more clearance and to cover up the wheels a bit more.
@@Mr_Ruhl Agreed. Paul is right. UHP won't like that much tire out in the open.
Haven't commented in a while! Much love from Texas. We're gonna come see yall sometime! Happy holidays to all you, Fab Rats!
✌️🤟🤘
Coop needs some miracle grow for the stash !! It'll help fill it out a little bit !!
He needs to take some cow shit and smearing it on his mustache. She will grow then .
Tom & Cooper are starting to grow on us .
Good crew, good camera work 👏 👍
Resiliency is Paul's true, most valuable asset! I'm now certain of it!
My sunday is Now complete, can't start moving till i've had my fabRats video in..
The word for a person making useful pieces out of junk is a " Fabricobbler". ( Borrowed from Sara-n-tuned)
Coop your doing great on the camera really finding your own style keep it up! And Cant forget TOM, Paul couldnt ask for a better right hand man in the shop.
Lots of thought and measuring going on with this Taco redo...Great job Paul
Coop is doing great on the cam and Tom is a real asset.
Give some more love to grandma Lollie.
If I had half the talent when it comes to fabricating as Paul does, I'd be a happy man.
The old Taco is coming along very well!! Looking REALLY GOOD!!! I love watching you figure everything out.
I put your TH-cam channel up on m 65" TV and let the commercials fully play. Givin' it to the man.
One of the best things I ever did was pay a few bucks a month to never see another commercial again on youtube. Creators still get their micro pennies of the cut.
Respect 🫡
Paul you’re doing amazing man. I almost got my garage done so my son and I can start a small shop. I hope I can be as nice to my son as u do man. You have a great way about you and how you carry yourself. You’re a great person.
Thanks for sharing your experience I hope I can be as nice.
OK I have to confess Paul, the ol Tacoma is going to look better than its ever looked. Awesome job you guys!!!
@12:24 "We've got some hurdles to tackle". Now THAT'S a new Olympic event I'd like to see!
Grandma needs her own Tshirt "Spicy Grandma"" Love that beautiful young lady channel wouldnt be the same with out her!!
LOVE THE NEW TACO BUILD...LOVE YOUR SHOW .....LOVE ALL THE BUILDS....LOVE THE MESS UPS..THATS HOW WE LEARN..GO FAB RATS.....
Thank you Paul and crew for the update on the Taco . It's looking awesome !
No matter what other channel I’m watching, a notification that there’s a new FabRats video always makes me click on it……I.e…..a favorite channel !
I had to laugh last video when Paul said he uses his Eyecrometer for drilling his firewall 😂 Reminds me of a guy I worked with called a hammer a Knockometer 😅
Super nice conversion. Tacos have always been known for being pretty reliable but now you have made that thing fantastic.
I had the exact same problem with wheel clearence on my Tacoma build. And came up with the same solution, grind er till she clears the steering arms.. I can maybe fit a peice of paper between arms and wheel now. But clearence is clearence and that's all I need! I also ended up putting the heim ontop of steering arm to match pan hard. Not double sheered and no problems.
That's closer than normal---epic
Little behind this morning soooo,
Good afternoon everyone 😎🤙🏻🤣
Two go getters mechanics working ....reading each others brain...you got to love it
I want to thank you for everything yall do because it's helping me figure out how I should start making my first good Off-roader
Glad to see ol lando back
Knew several Guys in the Tacoma Club that did the solid axle swap.
Made an already capable truck even more capable.
Finally a video long enough from my favorite channel to pull me in like they used to!! The short skits always left me wanting TO MUCH more😢,lol!
I wonder how much money Barnes and yankum have made off of you and Matt using their products. I heard about it probably almost 20 years ago in Peterson 4x4 magazine. Even up to 4 or 5 years ago, their selection has quadrupled since. You can pretty much build anything you need for suspension from their website. It's reasonably priced shipping lots of steel clear across America is not lol.
As always an incredible video, best team on youtube
People complaining about Coopers mustache is like jeep owners complaining about Toyotas! That's their problem, just laugh and keep going Cooper!
Was never a fan of the Taco, But I gotta say, She's a good looking Machine these days. Great work Paul. Thnx for the content.
Thank you guys
You need some gussets on your axle table. When you were sliding it over to center the axle it was leaning pretty good.
I remember Paul and Matt puzzling under Papa Darrs Jeep. I should go back and rewatch that one.
Wondering if y'all are participating in the Matt's off-road games this year? Or have I missed some kind of falling out somewhere along the way? Love you're channel and your team, y'all are an inspiration!
Good to see still throwing down with good old Hobart welder ❤
Some bad arse grippers and wheels on that truck. I dig it.
Been missing the Taco, glad it’s back in the forefront
“I may have to keep this truck.” You better keep this truck-it’s the reason I started watching your videos way back when. It’s still the OG Fab Rats rig.
Look'in better each time! Great job!!
Think those were some of the best triangles we’ve seen yet on this channel. Tom’s a keeper!
I hope one day to be able to meet the Fab Rats family🤘🏼💪🏼🦅🇺🇸
Keep up the longer videos! We love them! Especially when you look for them each week! The Tacoma is going to be a nice ride when you finish it. Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
Cooper definitely needs his mustache colored in, looks like the one I had back in my school years
I like Tom. I hope he will stick around for a while.
I've missed the Tacoma build! Good to see her resurrected.
Maybe swap in some new headlights and a new high clearance front bumper. 🤞
Thanks for the Toyota content Paul & company and Happy Holidays ✌️
The taco is going look great when it done
It is a good feeling when it looks like it will all work.
I've listened to and read all the Jack Carr books...they are fantastic!
I've been trying real hard to engineer a lift for my '72 Wagoneer, it's a "parts oddball", and at this point, with what it's going to take, and the price of leafsprings now, I'm thinking that for the same money, and effort, I could just go ahead a link it. Youse guys are a bad influence! 😆
Diggin' on what you guys are doing, thanks for sharing it with us!
Definitely coming together
Comment that said “beginner mustache” 😂😂
Cooper - you gotta start somewhere. Don’t pay any attention to the haters!
Hey, you all get your damnd safety glasses on when your grinding! You don't know what it's like to lose an eye! It only takes one small piece of shrapnel from a pice of that grinder and metal to melt your eyeball! So please 🙏 wear protection brothers.
Some serious fabbiing going on in this one!
Awsome rebuild.....gonna give Toyota a good name !
The taco looks awesome Paul
i understand the Barnes sponsorship and they make great parts but have you guys looked at the 4Wheel Underground stuff? From personal experience it works GOOD!
Landon hoodie is FIRE!!!,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I came to the comments to see if anyone else felt the same. Love it!
Only ran across one shedding tears 😂 I gotta get one of those myself
What's going on with dissing on Cooper's stache. Leave the guy alone. He's doing a fine job!
It looks as cool in person as it does on camera!
That's real nice Clark! Nice job!
You got 10 pounds of parts in a 5 pound bag!
21:15- Let them glow plugs warm up twice in the cold.
Good morning I definitely like seeing the work on the taco truck. I am looking forward to seeing the first test drive after the upgrades
Im just the same as Paul and co, almost! Only in reverse!!
Some days i get up, and actually do something!
Love the build and the longer! and Cooper, everybody starts out with the fuzzy caterpillar on their lip! but eventually, it’ll turn into a full blown 70s era mustache!👍🏼🤩🫡
Lots of good progress in today's video ! 👍
Looks Great Paul !! Its so funny how all your hired help comes and goes .......lol , yes Cooper let the shop Cat fix that top lip
🎉🎉🎉 There are SOOO many 'THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID' in this episode. Could be a GREAT drinking game [WHILE AT HOME NOT DRIVING !!!!] 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That little one is a lot like Dad... Graders ........
I like Coop! 😂
Awesome progress!
Cheers from Southern California USA 🇺🇸 ❤
try the dropkick. or off the back of the head, off the heel, in the net.
I LOVE HOW YOU GUYS TAKE CRAP NOT MEANT TO PLAY WELL WITH EACHOTHER AND BUILD A TOTALLY NEW BEAST
STOP YELLING WE'RE NOT DEEEF! lolin'
@@Bob-Whiting LOL
Everything works together.....if you hit it hard enough 😂
My son had made a lot of those Lego air motors. He uses the shop vac to run them.
Keep your stash Coop. We all started the same way little Bro. I've had mine since I was a kid and only shaved it off once in 50 years. Just keep it trimmed.
Paul “Fab Rats” is Fabulous 💛🖤🇺🇸
This reminds me of the game Gran Turismo 4, I used to play that racing game, and upgrade every car to end up being the same.
Loving the content though in fairness, a great team for sure. Happy Xmas!
45:25 amazing what we can see with some light when filming under the taco
Coop be proud of what cha got. As a fellow man who can not grow a full bread. I understand and I feel ya. I didn't start to grow my goatee until I was 37 years old. I have been rocking it for about 5 years now, even though my dad has had a full bread most of my life. I can only grow a goatee. Could be worse. Mom told dad he had to grow a beard BECAUSE HIS CHIN WAS UGLY!
That Taco sure is looking tough with that stance. Hefty 👌
The toy is sweet thanks for letting me watch 👍
Not feeling right in the morning is the onset of old age, welcome to the new normal.
Great job guys love your work keep it up looking forward to seeing more of your videos
