Takes me back 40 years helping my dad in the garage ... you two are building memories that will last forever!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
7:56 when Landon was deciding whether or not Paul was being serious about him tasting the diff fluid 😂
Paul was giving Landon the most important lesson of the day..how not to crumble to pier pressure
Landon is blessed to have a Dad teaching him how to do that work. I didn't have that and when I was that age. It's great to see the two of you work together as a team. I love seeing the "Golden Nugget" coming together. It's gonna be an awesome ride for Ed when it's all done. I especially enjoy seeing all you TH-camr's working together on this project.
It is a joy watching Paul and Landon working together. Paul trusts Landon to do the job and Landon exhibits the competence to do the job. They are a great father and son team.
Landon is becoming a competent apprentice. He’ll have those truck parts worked off in no time.
Fab Rats videos are like Christmas as a kid. It’s along time till the next one.
And… he’s sure got his old-man’s smile… 🇬🇧🇷🇴🤣
So awesome that he has such a skilled mentor who also happens to be his father. At that age, one does not appreciate those kind of things fully
@@kevinrenn9123 Will be pretty cool for Landon to be able to go back and watch these videos 30-40-50 yrs from now .
Your family interaction makes the show for me, your boy will be a good fabricator one day.
Those are the type of things that hooked me. I loved shows like American Chopper but the drama was always such a turn off for me. I just want to see cool people doing cool things while having a great time.
I was just coming here to say that about his son but you beat me to it. 😎👍🏼
Your right man I love everything this man is about. I’m a new father and I just can’t wait to do dad things like this
Or just a good dude that knows stuff
This
Loved the typical shop banter combined with the father-son vibe. And of course, the father's payback in terms of holding the drop light. Some things are universal. :)
I was already impressed with the Running Gear upgrades; with the wider Suzuki Samurai axles with larger rear Brakes and newer front disc Brakes, ALL Major.
But, now even further upgrades continue WOW! With additional 4x4 5.11 locker gears front and rear axles, new axle seals/bearings, new Front Manual Locking Hubs Plus, the upgrade drive line with the Slip-Yoke unit installed. Ed’s LJ20 Build just gets better and better. I can hardly wait to see Ed drive it for the first time.
Tip for Landon, hold a rag over the hub while your tanking spring clips and stuff out, keeps em from flying so far.
And use the right tool... the one you used to put them back in.
@@fridaynightgamefilm that too.
Nothing better than see the youngster doing things with the ole man. Can’t wait until this is finished to see the look on Ed’s face. Thanks for sharing
15:19 Vintage bee's nest in the wheel well, gotta love it. Such a great series, can't wait for Ed's reaction and to see him cruising. Bravo, Fab Rats!!
I was gunna point that out, you beat me to it.
They should leave it there until Robby gets the nugget. Would love to see his reaction to finding it has survived the trip and the build.
Edit: Just remembered, we overwhelmingly voted for the body swap. I wonder if Robby will have the same lapse of memory and still give us a funny reaction.
It's going to be epic.
that is exactly what has bothering me lately; How is Ed's gold chunk ?. thank you touch, now i know too. lol
Awesome…. You’re son will thank you one day for teaching him the things that you have learned over the years… it’s better to be taught the right way than to learn the hard way…thanks guys….
It is great to see you and Lan working together, It's great that he wants to learn and can be taught.
It's nice to see his dad has a laid back attitude. Most of us know what it was like to help our dads, getting yelled at for holding the light wrong :D
@@Netlogic. 🤣🤣at least you got a dad i got yelled at by my shop teacher and college professor for holding the light wrong
I absolutely love the Vice Grip Garage reference. Great American fathers watching other great American fathers. I can’t wait for this project to be finished! Ed’s reaction will make it all worthwhile.
Derek on Vice grip garage is hilarious🤣🤣 he couldn't get his son to taste it either🤣🤣🤣
A guy loves to see the crossover references of all the shows a guy likes.
VGG guys might get a bit confused seeing how they call lightning hoses wires in Utah.
@@AJNpa80 VGG guys in Utah can call them the same thing.
What a wonderful thing to see Paul and his son work together! That’s a bond you can never break in life!! You can tell Paul and Michelle have raised their kids well!! Landon reminds me of my son. Very cool!!
It's so cool that your able to teach your son how to do these things. I hope mine has an interest someday. I try to teach him now but has the attention span of a squirrel and takes off bouncing across the yard....but he is only 8! LOL
~jw
Can't wait to see Ed's smile and then the weather report lmao he makes some of the videos glad he gets out there still
I love the video where they recover that gold Chevy and ed just drives a freakin Dodge Dakota right up the mountain right with them lol
Ed's weather report.....It's raining. I ain't taking the Nugget nowhere. 😂 I hope not....and doubt it.
You should hang a bunch of cans off of it on strings and put a sign that says "Rejoined" after however many years they were separated,, for his maiden voyage#2
It is amazing.
I couldn't imagine being some of these kids getting to hang out with all these knowledgeable people, its simply amazing.
Phone number pppppp
My new Sunday "tradition" continues. Coffee and my favorite channels (Fab Rats, MORR, Layton's and a few others).
VICE GRIPS CHANNEL if you haven’t tasted it yet you don’t know what your missing
Love seeing Lan working on stuff instead of behind the camera! He shows just how much he has learned from his father and it’s awesome to see the family resemblance. Keep up the good work and I love your videos!
I’m 70 yrs old & was that old guy in the shop off & on 26 yrs. Wow the tools & skill is crazy as it was when I was in the shop BITD.
Thank you for this !
Anacortes,Wa.
You’re a great dad Paul. Even when you’re busy you stop and take time to teach your son how to properly do the important things and let him learn on his own on the rest.
Watching you and Lan working together reminds me of my youth spending time with my Dad. Those are times that will never be forgotten. Great times spent with a great family doing great things!
Working with my late Dad, " split the line."
Nice to see a Dad and Son building some memories. Priceless.
This has to be the best build series on the planet. From the recovery, until now...I literally can't wait until the next video. Good stuff Maynard 👏
Slowest build anyway.
Hi , i am Donld from the Phillipines . I enjoy your show, with family and friends. I'm looking forward on the YOTA and GOLDEN NUGGET builds. Maybe you can give more space to the Nugget seat by doing what they do on those willies jeep by cutting on the rear fender to give more adjustment to the seats. Belated New Year to all and keep on wheeling.
Good job on getting the kid in the garage learning and working.
Low RPM with a little cutting oil . Have used carbide bits , cobalt often . I usually can get a bite with a quality normal bit , but as soon as you add a little speed you burn the cutting edge . Enjoying the build . I drive a 97' Tracker and so far the driveline has held up well .
Yes good advice. At a former workplace I had to drill and tap hard steel and occasionally stainless, with carbide bits. As soon as you spin it and heat it up that bit is done and it makes it harder for the next one to bite also. Super low rpm, lots of pressure, cutting oil, and clear your chips often.👍
Cobalt bits low speed lots of lube :) or a diamond core drill designed for dry drilling tiles works
like seeing the kids working with their dad great video
The amount of views you are getting is staggering, I am so happy for your success good people should get great rewards
Wish all the Snowflakes would watch this channel. They would learn what it is like to work and be good people
@@pscruising5486 I wish I could find a group of friends like these people that would be great, I am about alone now in my projects and would love to work with other people on projects, but one day maybe I will find another group
5:50 - Having a son who gets a joke like your facetious rant about the “massive” Suzuki axles - priceless! Way to go, dad!
EDIT - 6:10 - “…if you just use a bigger hammer!” Even sounds like dad. Paul, looks like you’ve created a mini-me!
Good dad raising good kids! 👏
I have watched all these and I was wondering if you was going to show us anymore before paint. thank you, Oldsmoke57
It's awesome you showing Landon the ropes. Get the kids involved. True family business!!! Awesome!!
Put the Mountain Lightning in the front of the fridge and hide the Mountain Dew in the back. It helps keep people from stealing the MT Dew.
FAB RATS is my favorite channel because it's real and positive.
Way to go Landon, great job! Can't wait to see Ed's reaction when you guys do the reveal!
C-clips. Gotta love them. Should be possible to put enough on a vehicle that it becomes capable of independent flight!
I had a flashback watching the end of the video, my dad was always saying, shine the light where I’m looking, not in my eye!🤣🤣 Great stuff Fab Rats, can’t wait to see the nugget back on the road 👍👍
That bright portable light that you received is really coming in handy during the rebuild.
I need one, where can I get one?
@@jimmcewen8446 milwaukee brand light
That is amazing. Every time a clip goes whizzing past my head it just happens to find that one pesky black hole we all have lurking in our sheds, that delivers it straight to the shadow universe where springs, bearing balls and 10mm sockets go to die. Landon seems to be some sort of dimensional wizard. Assign Knights to his guard immediately.
I love the small assembly of Ed’s up in the rafters Judging y’all XD
I love how TH-cam has woven together a vast car/truck/hotrod community. From Fab Rats to 1320 to Matt's Off Road Recovery to Vice Grip Garage... and old Cleetus of course.... we are in a new era of automotive improvements on a grassroots level!
Pretty cool to sit and watch it all happen... let's get Robby Layton on this list next
🤣 "Do the other side!" I still remember the heart drop feeling of having those same words spoken to me... Best way to learn!
Repetition is an important part of learning.
truer words have never been said, lol
HIYAH
You should incorporate the hi yah on Ed's golden nugget some way.
Landon is a very blessed young man to have a Dad who loves him enough to teach him the things he can use the rest of his life.
My Dad was a pipeline welder, and I spent many hours in his shop with him when he wasn't offshore laying pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. I later became an aircraft mechanic, and later still, built a residential and automobile glass business. The things he taught me have given me an advantage to this very day.
I've done the same thing for my 16 year old. His Mom left us 10 years ago, so I made sure he never had much idle time. We've torn down out buildings, built a metal building , been teaching him welding, machinist work, blacksmithing, carpentry, you name it. Right now, we are restoring a 1952 Piper Tri-Pacer (airplane).
So, is my kid going to be a welder? A machinist? A blacksmith? Aircraft Mechanic? Own his own glass shop?
No!
He's breaking my heart by being accepted to a college at the age of 16, and studying Quantum Physics!
Kids today.
When ya think you've prepared them for the real world, they go out and become a scientist.
What ya gonna do?
(Seriously, I've known for years he was a super intelligent kid, and suspected he might want to study science some day. That's why I prepared him by teaching him how to do lots of mechanic related stuff, so he won't be helpless like most egg heads)
the best sunday is to watch a father and son working and learning priceless thank you 🙏
Pro tip: turn the brim of your cap to the back when walking under the lift. At least you'll see what you hit your head on.
Lol
In past videos I kept thinking, how does he know how to do all this stuff?!?! Today I saw how you are teaching your son and that's how you learned too. Good job! 👍😉
reminds me of working in the shop on my Uncle's farm when I was a teen. Thank you for building memories with your son. He will treasure this time!
Won't be long now. Ed is going to be very pleased. Thank you for your time.
Great video Fab Rats! The most heart-warming part was the view just before Paul's cat-like moves. The view of father and son wielding hammers on a rebuild should bring a tear to your eye Paul. Lando is learning from the best! "...get a bigger hammer." Awesome stuff!!
When it's done, Ed is gonna be pulling the Moorvair out of the hole with that beast.
The golden nugget is gonna be epic. You guys are quite literally the bomb . Wish your shop was in Florida. I’d know you then. Can’t wait to see your rolling stock choices
I envy you your shop and equipment setup and your knowledge of how to use it all. Be fun to be able to do all that stuff, next best thing getting to watch your and your friends and family doing it. Also wish we had dumps like down there. In canada, it's like they guard the garbage, not allowed to take anything out, although one day I lucked out and found a Stihl chainsaw and a Honda water pump sitting by the metal pile. Sneaked them home, cleaned up the carbs and plugs, started right up. That was a good day! Anyway love the channel-Dan
Nice to see Landon working in the shop with you learning stuff
Glad to see how you work and teach Landon. I truly cherish the times and hours my Dad and I spent in the shop. And Lando, the " Hi-Yah's" is a handed down Top Secret, tip. Learn it and hand it down to your son.
All this work to make Ed happy, it's a work of love and respect! Bless you all :)
Need to make a shirt for Lando's saying, in HI-yah!! Help him fund the truck build!!
Awesome seeing father and son in action
It’s officially a a project now ! Keep her going looking good
First job I learned helping my dad was how to hold the light, next was finding the right wrench, moved to parts cleaning, then working with him watching, eventually I found myself doing the work while he sat in the house!
I was a multi Tasker! I learned how to hold the light, AND swear.
IT'S A TRAP!😂😂😂
It’s so awesome what you guys are doing for Ed! I love seeing your son out there working with you.
Great to see the family woking together on this. When I was a kid all my dad had me do was hold the light while he worked. He didn't explain anything.and I learned nothing.
Awesome seeing Lan rebuilding that front end. He will have to work up to the hi-yah. He's just not ready to release all that power on the world yet!
an old friend gave me "always time to do it twice, never time to do it right". I think I like yours better. Thanks Randall!
Landon seems like a sweet, bright young man and it seems like he really enjoys being in the shop learning & doing stuff. Stay safe kiddo, be good & do good like your folks and you're gonna be a force!
Getting some Bad Obsession Motorsport vibes when you're breaking the funk out.
Got to love a build like this! Ed is going to be overwhelmed!
Shout out to VGG! Derek is awesome!
Passing on skill sets and information to the next generation to keep the trades alive AND spending time together in the shop, out wheeling...priceless! Did it with my Dad, my kids and now even with my grandkids. The best ever!
Keep up the great job and ignore the haters, there's always haters!!👍
Another amazing video getting closer to having the mechanical part done before it goes off to paint.
I enjoyed how you had your son in there teaching him is a great thing
Nice to see Dad passing along valuable skills to his son, you’re a great mentor, you’ll reap the benefits in years to come. Great job on the nugget.
Great to see Landon getting in on the shop work. Even if he doesn't get into fabrication or mechanics, it's great life skills to have.
Great to see you and your boy working in the shop again👍
Really like seeing Lan helping DAD.
Paul, great to see a father-son work together on a project that will be remembered when Landon has children of his own.
Landon is taking over!! Another skilled hand in the shop, I’m sure his teacher is proud. Best Golden Nugget Video thus far having your right hand man turning wrenches with you.
Why’s your mind wandering Paul lol
Since I am new to this build, I considered skipping ahead to the finished product but then realized that so much work went into it that I need to watch the whole thing. I too love a custom rebuild that ends in reliability and ignore the purists from time to time. Keep it up!
How awesome you and son working together and he is learning so much I hope he appreciates the time he spends with you I know you do. My dad was an alcoholic and never spent time with me. God bless your family
Cobalt (the metal, not the brand) drill bits changed my life!
Picture Ed in the drivers seat, that big thumb sticking up, giving the weather report, and a big thanks for watching !!!’
Father and son are working on a project again. That's always nice to look at, especially for me. Gladly more of it
Best regards from Germany
Great seeing working with Land. An teaching him the correct way things go.
I love watching Paul and Landon work so well together. Super team-work !
19:30 - Paul just can’t get over how tiny everything is on the ‘Zuke, acts like he’s a watchmaker assembling the diff’.
Awesome that you are teaching your kids to use their hands and their heads.
Fantastic! Soooooo close now, I can't wait! Thanks guys, stay safe!
It's really coming along. I'm excited to see it going down the road. Old ED will be happy but who wouldn't be with a cool new toy to play with in that giant sandbox you call home. Never too old to play in the sandbox👍
Tread time folks. Hopefully that nugget gets some serious tires and rims. Keep up the good work fellers.
Landon is going to be a darn good mechanic, you just have to sit the first part out on now it is gettin' so much better every year for you man. your parents will end up being your best friends, trust you me.
The trick to drilling hardened stuff in my opinion is start with a small bit, then a little bigger etc etc, and slow speed. Fast drilling eats drill bits up quick AND work hardens the steel even more.
Paul, you're good dad to show your son how to do things the right way with patience.
And teaching him to do it twice so it's nice
Yes you can use a concrete bit to drill hardened steel, use them to drill safes all the time. The trick is to sharpen it like a regular drill bit and use lots of pressure and some sort of coolant
I loved watching the education. I did this with my Dad and then with my Kids, it's the best way to learn.Thanks for the memories.
"Not Me" used to live at my house 25 years ago. Wouldn't mind having him back. Happy trails everyone.
Love to see Paul and Landon working side by side in the shop with Paul providing calm instruction. Well done guys.
Been following you for a bit now mate! Have learned a lot from watching you I built my own SAS swapped 4 door chevy with a ls swap, constantly learning from you thanks again from Southern Ontario
Seems like just a few days ago Lance was figuring out different tools and now he's helpin his dad do major mechanical work,lordy time flyes,ole Paul there givin Lance more confidence by showin confidence in his work,and that's the right way,Paul's a good dad,Great video,Great camera work,lookin forward to more.
Yalls family dynamic reminds me of when my pops use to work on cars I imagine this is how we'd be if he continued good stuff!!!
Great job guy's !! Can't believe it's almost ready for paint and then the last bits and it's driving ...!! Good job Lando It's cool to see you helping out and learning with your pop's ...
I had 5 new videos to view this morning... but I have been waiting to see the Golden Nugget update... Love this project and real Mountain Dew too... Amazing to see you constantly meeting and conquering challenge after challenge... We had a "Not Me" at our house too... 55 years ago... Great teamwork and mentorship too, a Jedi knight and a Padawan apprentice, and that wonderful light keeps him away from the Dark Side... Thanks You... Looking forward to Sunday mornings for updates
I love your shop. You keep rolling out different tools and machines. You take time with your family, my dad considered me a tool that it was better for me to remain silent and jump when he grunted.
My lucky day🍀🍀🍀Stumbled upon your channel by chance; my good fortune!!!!!
What a GREAT family and group of friends!!! Love the positive attitude, caring and giving.
So impressed that you can BUILD, mend, fix, put together a car like some folks might mend a hem, make cinnamon rolls or piece a simple quilt. And so wonderful to see all your knowledge, skills, tradition passed on. Love the "see one, do one"; hands on teaching, encouragement, camaraderie and guidance. Wish I could come and learn. Waiting to see the final rebuild, refurbish, rebirth, resurrection and Ed's reaction.
Got hooked after watching Ed's LJ20 recovered. Wow an overnight camping adventure, too big for the "road" Jeep squeezing down a too narrow trail, making road when needed, and hauling out the Ed's Golden Nugget. What a great a jolly community! Must be the Mountain Dew! Thank you. My lucky day🍀🍀🍀Stumbled upon your channel by chance; my good fortune!!!!!
