One Badass family and friends! That's some special ops recovery!
I watched both versions and the pucker factor from my Lazy-Boy was at least a 5 ... Many blessings , SMR
I have a feeling we are going to do a lot of stupid stuff here in the next few hours
Needs to be a t-shirt
There were so many t-shirt quotes in this video. We will go tip over somewhere farther. Lol
How would someone get in touch with you if they, say for example, wanted to pull an April fools prank on Matt some year? :D
@@MagentaRV I travel to do that
That wrecker is pure beast mode. Awesome team work!
That wrecker is the real bow tie killer!
If I were the owner of that Jeep I'd have everyone involved autograph the hood where it was dented and display it like a badge of honor. Maybe stick a few MORR and Fab Rats decals on it too.
@Beau Thomas Hah! My thoughts exactly....what he said, what he said!
Haha so true!
I absolutely agree. I'd love to know how it turns out. Matt said everyone told him there was no money to be made in off road recovery and you can see why. Thanks TH-cam
You gotta figure that a large percentage of the off-road community watches MORR and Fab Rats. Having that dent is the difference between someone saying “nice rubicon. Same color as the one that was rescued” and “DUDE, that is THE rubicon that was the star of the rescue! Mind if I take a few pictures?”
If it were my ride, I’d get all those autographs you mentioned then lovingly clearcoat it. I wouldn’t worry about folks saying I had to be towed, I’d quickly remind them that I got it IN there, which is huge in itself.
Ha, that’s exactly what I said in Matt’s comments. Badge of honor, have them all sign it and then clear coat it. 👍
This may be the greatest recovery I have EVER watched.
AGREED !!!!!!!!
I honestly can't believe he looked at the Tyre and said "you hit a rock".......No kidding! he hit all of them.
Everyone needs a friend like Paul, a guy that'll do some crazy sh** to help a buddy out. If you don't have a friend like Paul, be a friend like Paul.
Matt and Paul are both that friend… and they’re friends with each other
The customer should keep the hood crease as a reminder to check fluids before they go off road next time.
Owner may have punctured the oil pan somewhere along the route, climbing over the rocks !!
@@ricks.1318 absolutely possible.
@@ricks.1318 how do you call that protector metal plate that goes underneath? He should have had one of those fitted
@@infinitydreamzz A lot of off road vehicles have skid plate options, they are a necessity. Or just make one yourself.
If it's a real Rubicon they come with skid plates.. but those jeeps eat allot of oil if they are on steep inclines!
I just want to take a second to appreciate the simultaneous upload from two perspectives from both FabRats and Matt’s channel, awesome content as always!
AGREED !!
Agreed. I always watch both videos just to get a second perspective of what’s going on. Both videos were great
Paul hit the nail on the head for every kid who has taken their Grandpa's or Dad's rig out in the hills and beat the crap out of it and broke something and tried to explain it. "I have no idea how that broke. We were being very careful"
That was wild. Paul's laugh when they were coming up that hill and it lurched sideways proves his mental state is a little off. I know because I can recognize my own kind.
6:19 Paul, "I've got a feeling we're gonna do a lot of stupid stuff in the next few hours". Truer words were never spoken.
Should turn that into a shirt quote
That's one of the sketchiest and most exciting recovery yet.
Damn straight .... WHEW !!!!!!!!!!!
Hold on
Tow truck wheelies, ben there, that's the 20 dollar ride, love it! Hey Paul leaf sprung tow truck, ya I feel your pain, have you seen the stack in mine?...LOL
I hope yall get together sometime!
"Steal my dad's truck" I bet there's a heck of a story that goes along with the first time that statement came out of Paul's mouth!
The wrecker is a beast. Paul is a heck of an operator. The award though, goes to the wrecker's clutch. Awesome work!
That wrecker IS a Beast, for SURE !!!!! It saved the day .....
I could smell it.
Its fun keeping a carb running at that angle!
I've been watching TH-cam since before it was owned by Google and I think this is literally the best collab I've ever seen. Y'all killed it!!!
100%
Agreed 👍👍👍
Thank you!!
Yep. Totally agree
It is definitely in the top 0.1%
I posted this on Matt’s Off Road Recovery channel as well.
If we all share this video I almost guarantee it hits a million plus, there the gauntlet has been thrown..I’ll start the sharing right now, who’s with me?
Let’s make these two a little bit more famous!
Love the video!
Thanks for the love!!!
I’m in and shared to all my contacts, BUT, & I didn’t think of this until a couple friends called me and asked if I sent a “mass” recipient text, said yep, they said they deleted it cus with all the spam out there especially when you see multiple recipients allot will think someone hacked my phone and spammed them. Anyway I resent it to them. Damn the spam.
@@lazerrred share it through Facebook, not so much on messenger…
@@gsettlemyre Thanks, but I haven’t done much, if any “social media” since the social media has became so full of leftest keyboard commandos & cancel culture bs. I do several 4x4, SCCA sport car & USPSA competition pistol specific forums & that’s about it for me. And I do want to move to Utah. LOL.
Fab Rats & Matts are the best dam channels on TH-cam. Had a smile on my face the whole time. Awesome recovery guys.
I can only imagine having friends and family as tight as yours. Don’t ever let anything come between you. You are blessed.
Right? And awesome, clean content from both channels. Strong work, Folks.
Even the dogs were having a great time! There must be a word that denotes feeling one gets from watching this. blessed is good.
I realy can't add much to any of the comments. Just blessings from me too. O I would have had a brick when the jeep tipped a wee bit. Lol. I slide down 120 feet off our hiway. They pulled me back up backwards. Good job all of you
Paul is one Hell of an operator. Michele always cracks me up. She’s all about having fun.
They are an amazing couple.
Everyone needs a good friend like these guys! It's not a story until someone almost dies.
Paul and Andrew Camarata are soul mates! If yall haven’t watched andrew , paul would love it!
I so love how much Clean fun you have.. Never anything vulgar are inappropriate. Great family entertainment!
When ever Fab Rats teams up with Matts Off Road Recovery I once thought Paul was the more sensible one. Now I have come to find Paul is the CRAZIEST one of the bunch.
Well, he just disguises it well. As long as things are relatively normal, he’s ‘normal’ as well. When things get a little hairy though, he just laughs and guns it. Albeit with a whole lot more skill and experience than I can muster.
The lot of them can wheel off-road, that’s for sure.
Wasnt Paul the one who stayed totally cool when his wife flopped their FJ80?
If that was me in the same situation, I would have told her it's just a good excuse for more upgrades or a complete rebuild!
@@rollinrat4850 Nope. The FJ 80 on that trail was done by the owner of Yank'um Ropes.
@@samwalker3441 Thats right. I forgot......
. They all seem like one happy family to me. Its really cool to see people work so well together. It hardly seems like work. I can tell you there's nothing like truly loving the work you do and looking forward to it. Especially when youre paid to have fun and be outdoors in a beautiful environment. I was an MTB guide throughout Wackofornia and the Sierras for several years. I really dig rock crawling my 'Yota as well and helping people fix their broken 'junk'.
I bet folks are pretty happy and appreciative when they show up in the hot desert or on a really cold night! There's nothing like clients who appreciate you too!
@@rollinrat4850 they've got my dream job thats for sure
I love how Paul just laughs when it looks like he’s going off a cliff
That is how you get beyond those situations. Then in about a week you can poop again !
"HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa................................................................!
Just laugh in the face of danger!
That had to be one of the craziest off-road recoveries I’ve ever witnessed . I drove a tow truck for a short time and grandpa’s tow truck he is nothing but a beast keep up the great content I even actually caught myself commenting out loud about that last crazy pull, where all three were pulling their hearts out.I think this is the first time that I have mentioned this channel outside of my family and I told two people about it today because it was just so crazy and fun to watch you guys do such a great job
Paul: Got a tire issue
Matt: What?
Paul: Doesn't have any air in it.
Lol
Aaah... that's nothin' that 27 plugs couldn't fix!! ;^)
**THE TOTAL SUPPORT THESE LADIES GIVE THEIR MEN IS WAY BEYOND COMPARE!!!**
**GOD BLESS THESE LADIES!!!**
Amen!
When Paul and Matt hang out and we get two vids of the same story from different perspectives! 👍🏿👍🏿
Paul was driving a one ton truck with leaf springs, a manual transmission and a carburetor. That was the most impressive tow truck rock crawling in world history.
When Paul "Get's a call", it's not going to be an easy day. I love Paul's attitude about it. I mean look at that smile 13:29 and 14:38
That “Whoa-Go” stuff reminded me of a friend’s story. He was taking his GF for a snowmobile ride. High performance snowmobile. She was in back hanging on, both wore helmets. He took off at a good clip, and he heard her say “faster”, so he fed it the onions. Before long she said “FASTER”, so, realizing he had not impressed her, he throttled up a bit more, the third time he gave it all he could, at which point she slid off the seat, was barely hanging on being dragged, the skis came up into the air, and he almost wrecked before he could get it stopped. “WHAT is WRONG with you?! She screamed”. “You kept saying “FASTER” he said. “NO, she said, I was saying “BA$#TARD”!!!!
Story always cracked me up.😆
That was definitely the Pucker-est recovery ever. Grandpa's truck saved the day due to Paul's stick shift ability. I grew up on stick shift, not many people go off-road with stick anymore.
I wouldn’t want to offroad in an auto... my old oil burner 80 series Toyota is my baby, 26 years and still going strong. 👍🏻🇷🇴🇬🇧
@@clivehorridge I had an 85 toyota tacoma, could'nt kill it, now I have an 06 taco...POS rust bucket
Not many auto 4x4s here in aus!
Modern show ponies, maybe, but not actual off roading rigs
@@clivehorridge I’ve got an 88 SR5, 22RE, with 325k on her. She is still pulling out “Big Bad a$$” 4WD trucks & Blazers out of trouble. 😉
This was the Best Recovery Video of All Time!!!!!
Who needs May when Fab Rats gets100K subs in April ! CONGRATS 😍
That Wrecker needs its own YT channel. I could watch that action all day long. 👍👍👍
Stuff like this, you learn who your true friends are....
One bad ass friends and family. Imagine one of their get aways
Now we get to see Grandpa's tow truck getting new suspension build at Fab Rats!!
I love the AAR (After Action Review) at the end. That's exactly how we all do it when we've gone through something sketchy/fun, we stand around telling war stories about it and laughing our backside off.
“She rides better when you hit only every other bump”...
3:35 a sign of skill and knowledge, it’s counter intuitive, but holding off the brakes saved Rudy from rolling just then.
Paul with his hi-lift, pick a finger you don’t mind losing much” ...
Great stuff guys, all of you 👍🏻🇷🇴🇬🇧
We have super corrugated roads here in aus, the only way to drive on some is to find a speed where you float over the top.
60-90km/hr usually!
Yep, Rudy was on the money with getting off the brakes at the right time. I made the same comment in MOOR comments. And yes, Rudy can wheel. 😉
Honestly, watching Rudy's Jeep from the perspective on this video it was so much worse! 😮 Awesome teamwork as always!
That trail is no joke. The trail description calls the trail one way. It is described that way because that obstacle that Rudy lifted the left rear on the way in is considered for downhill only.
Hey fab rat family, thanks to your channel I got the courage to do some wheelin at broken arrow in sedona. Also had the misses record some of it and make my own channel for my family and friends to see. Thank you for getting this fab rat fan to get more out of life.
I really wish I could come hang out with all yall for a recovery... Paul is my favorite.
My 1st Fab Rats video; I’ve been missing out! Paul you seem so sweet and genuine. No wonder everyone at MORR loves you!!!
Y’all had so much fun that day I had to watch both versions!! ❤️🐞
Tell me it ain’t so Buggy. Paul’s been hanging with Matt for quite some time. Great fun & Paul can hit er done fabricating. Learned it the right way too. By growing up doing it & making it work.
Oh, you have much binge watching in front of you. LOL.
@@samwalker3441 - 🤣🤣🤣 yes I do!
@@lazerrred - how have I missed out on this awesome channel 🤦♀️
@@GoatOffroad Hey Bug, all’s good U got em now. Paul and Matt have done some incredibly insane recoveries together, like having to weld driveshafts in really nasty places on the side of the mountains. Even recovered one truck that had been left for over a year because nobody else could recover it, ect. Oh, and Paul’s mobile welder he found at the dump, LOL. Paul is very resourceful. Matt & Paul are a real deal, plus they are a hoot.
That hood will buff out at 10:24. Crazy recovery!
No way lol Matt's camera gives a better look. That's a new hood. 😬
carnauba wax
@@flytii wax don't help a creased dent...
That's what I was thinking
@@KendallPhillips89 youtube search, "ahhh the good ol' graze" to get reference
Grampa Sherm's Heavy Chevy is the baddest tow truck on the inter-webs! I will bet a cool grand of cash that no other truck could tow a 30 degree + trail with a 2 ton behind it and not flip out or die from stress! I love this rat rod! It deserves its own channel!
And no one died.....amazing..😂
"It’s all fun ‘til you get a flat tire" Paul.
Y’all just an awesome group of folks!🤙🏽❤️
Always thought Mater was made in Pixars mind but no, he lives !
This is Tow-mater’s son, little big mater.😆
@@hgj2019 considering the true "mater" had the look of a early to mid 60's truck if memory serves, that square was probably early 80's
It starts sliding to the hard left Paul just laughs... pure legend!!
“But did you die” and “we may pee blood” 2 phrases that sum up why I never miss a video. 🤣🤙
It's just amazing how in two short years how much that wrecker has transformed. Grandpa Sherm would be proud.
Man those old k30s are a beast. Matt hopefully donates to the tire and spring fund. Poor lizzy running and sliding.
Those K30 trucks gots some stiff rear springs. Ask me how I know this😆
The absolute best demonstration of skill, courage and teamwork that I've ever seen in this type of scenario.
What a WOW factor! !
Regards from S Africa
Clive
I love when you guys team up. There's never a dull moment. Always sketchy and fun!
Not just anybody could've drove that standard-shift tow-truck into, and out of that hole, good-job Paul!, thanks for sharing.
"Let 'er Buck Buttercup." :) Leaf Springs and straight axles are all I ever used to off road. I never died.
Same here... I use a beat up 86 Chevy M1008 for off road stuff
Tow Mater is a beast - I guess we'll see it in the shop next for new leafs and fuel injection
And an ORD doubler transfer case
Old Betsy roaring her way up the hill....that was great fun to watch !!! Loving every single one of your videos the really make my day .
Paul & Matt's Bromance really shine in this, they got each others back's.
Paul feeding that wrecker all the onions. No fear. Well played.
Paul, you are one crazy SOB! I would be happy to share a beer, or a Mountain Dew with you any day.
Internet quote of the day: “The foot brake don’t work, it’s all in the E-brake... I would use that one then.”
Best line of the whole thing. “Leaf sprung with overloads on the back, we may pee blood when we get back” 😂😂
😠 Paul should've been wearing safety glasses to keep from rolling down that mountain! 🤣 Also Michelle did some awesome camera work while running up those rocks like a mountain goat👍
Awesome guys! Thanks. Edit- love how you guys are ready to help each other out and have such a great time doing it.
That old wrecker is a monster. Classic example of a truck that won't go a hair over 70, but will climb anything wide enough.
Wow, a great video from another perspective of this rescue. When Matt's Banana began the descent down, I thought it was going to do a nose dive and flip over onto its top for a second due to the steep incline going down, but thankfully, it didn't do that and stayed planted, though not always on all fours at times.
Good job you all.
BTW, I first saw Matt's video, then saw the link and came over here to watch this one.
I've watched Paul, Matt and their crew do some ingenious and impressive recoveries, this has to top all of them, congrats and keep them coming!
Paul: "That's why ya do it, it's fun!" That needs to be on a t-shirt!!!
Amen to that
This is still one of the best videos on youtube. Absolutely love this recovery, love the friendship between Paul and Matt, love all the funny things they say. LOVE the vehicles. Great episode to re-watch.
Paul is one highly skilled individual when it comes to off roading. This video shows it
As usual, Paul did an outstanding job of driving, Michele did a great job of laughing, videoing, and running up those hills. Got her exercise for the week!
The Crazy Train comments/singing in the video sums up this recovery perfectly!
I loved it! Ozzy is always a great choice.
Michelle, Jaymie, And Lizzy.....oh yeah, Paul, Matt, Rudy, and Trevor...amazing! Along with a simple straight forward recovery...fun day.
Lady & Max too.🐕🐈 🐾
Oh my gosh . This deserves two takes . What a grinder !!! Mad props for the photogs , running up that hill !!!!
OK guys, that's more excitement on a Sunday morning than I need… Hey great job getting it out you guys.
Super job on your video. The dialog, clean language and the characters and the editing are top notch. The action shots are superb in this one. This one deserves a million views for sure. Kudos!
It's too bad we can't click the approval button more than once. That next million views would be reached soooo much quicker!! ;^)
You guys work so good with others. The highlight was when the wrecker was going up the steep rocky ledges and you mentioned OMG. Pauls laugh was a funny moment. You running up the hill with the camera wasn't included in your video. We now know who does the editing for your channel. Loved it and look forward to you guys making lots more. Thanks
That tow truck is straight out if "Deliverance"
I usually watch Matt’s video for recoveries but I’m glad I watched this first. Man I’ve been missing out. Good job guys!
So great to see the tow truck again. That thing is amazing and sounds so nice. Hats off to you you guys, and Matt’s team, amazing recovery!
I know it’s been said a number of times already but when you guys collaborate and then both do videos from the different perspectives, it’s pure gold.
12:55 The BEST content ever! By far. Nice job guys. 👍👍👍
nothing better than you and matt working together.
That wrecker is a beast, keeping a carbed engine running on that incline is impressive.
We need a walk through of your pap’s truck!
This has to be one of the most awesome insane off road rescues I have ever seen you guys absolutely knocked it out of the park!!!!@#$%@ That old Chevy absolutely killed it what a good old rig you guys did such a great job this is the best rescue I've ever seen were it took 3 vehicles to get one out of the whole supercool watch wished out a been there to see it in in person!!!! 💯👍😄
This was an awesome recovery, the K-30 wrecker was a beast. The wrecker reminded me of my 1986 Chevy K-10 longbed, it sure can climb off-road. Thanks to Paul and Michelle for helping out Matt and his crew recover that Jeep from that unforgiving back country👍🇺🇸..
Luv when you guys team up with Matt on recoveries cause I get to watch two versions of the story. Awesome stuff man, Thank you!!👍💪
Paul is a beast! And I love that old truck.
2 years later the Old Wrecker has been turned into an amazing work of art that performs as well as she looks
Thats one of the craziest recovery I've seen! Impressive job on limiting the damages. You guys are one hell of an elite driver group
Finished Matt’s video, now to Paul’s, 😮🤙🏼🤟🏻🇨🇦
Matt and Paul don't see this as work or a job. This is always an adventure for them that is simply fun. Driving around in the mountains with the RAT ROD und Banana and having fun. Saving the Jeep is only a pleasant minor matter ......
T-shirt that says: Fab Rats Its never any fun till you have a flat tire! My sides hurt from laughing so hard. I love this channel.
Well, we know what Paul's next video is gonna be...fixin' grandpa's wrecker! 😂🤣
Best videos on YT this year so far! Having Lizzy and the wives out there with em is awesome! Great job everyone!!
Need to name you were joint towing operations Mad Max Recovery Service!!
This is some of the most impressive off-road driving/towing I've ever seen. I don't know what ya'll get paid but shit its not enough. Great job. You guys are great Americans.
Nobody died...that was fun! WOW!
👍👍❤️
When I was in Vietnam / Air Cargo we used to say doing the difficult is common place and doing the the impossible just takes a little longer... you guys make it look easy. Great Videos
Love rewatching the older ones! 270,000 more followers in less than a year! Many blessings to uguys
I love it when you lot work together, it’s not poetry it’s madness😂😱😂😱
