At my lowest point in life it seems lately and hell I’ve been to rehab but I’m 3 years sober. These videos really do help people cause I know they help me. Thank you guys you’re all amazing 🙏🏻
I had a 73 Ford that split the top hose I had some ductape and coat Hager it got me to a gas station 10 miles away, great job with the recovering and God bless from GA
I would have them empty all bottles, fill them each trip. But I have a clean milk jug in every truck with water. If nothing else to wash hands, cuts…. I would think a tool kit, basic supplies in truck. Jug of 50/50 winter water summer, basic tool set. I bought bag of tools, keep adding to it. 12v plug into lighter compressor. Old serpentine belt (from last change). Heck a 2 liter soda bottle of water.
Love your channel and video. Just a gentle reminder that Ed is not getting younger. I hope he will be healthy enough to enjoy everyone's work. Keep on keeping on.
Morning Fab Rats Family!! Always there to lend a hand (or a winch rope)!!! Nice to see Dar and Landon on this recovery ... (Landon has grown into quite the capable young man!!) Good family, Good friends, Good Ethics... doesn't get much better than that!!!❤❤much love to ya'll❤❤
late 80's ford taurus fan moves a ton of air. look into it. also if you have a clutch fan get the hayden severe duty clutch. also moves three times more air. kills 1/2 mpg. I always drill a tiny hole in the t-stat for yotas get air under the stat and they will not open with hot air. if you have a pin hole in the stat no air can get trapped.
Momma goat putting in work as she always does. She might have a little fever but that didn’t stop her. Can’t wait to see this girl get the love she deserves. Great job FabRats. It was good seeing Darr out on the trails.
I've been wanting to put my request in for a awhile now, but didn't want to be one of those guys that tell you what to do to you things. But since you already plan on making a list. I would love to see a new tacoma front bumper build. That thing is a little bit of an eye sore compared to all the other pretty things you've built. I appreciate every single one of you fab rats, you guys are killing it.
Reminds me of the time me and my brother drove a 66 Buick wildcat from Az to Oh. It had rotted out freeze plugs that leaked like crazy. We had to stop every 1/2 hr to refill with water. We stopped near some giant lake in Oklahoma to get water. Seven miles from the house, we had to fill that car with water. The shit you do when you're young is amazing.
Between you guys and Matt over at Matt’s off-road…. Thank you. Image taken a bad hit on my health this year, and due to some stupid on my part, my marriage is struggling… so I’m at the bottom after 47 years. But you two… y’all make me smile and give me hope that life is still there. Thanks. From the bottom of my heart. Thanks.
I've never not watched a Fab Rats video right through to the 'Thanks for watchin', and Michelle's incredible work on the editor desk makes it even sweeter!
Nice recovery. There was more drama in your own vehicle than with the stuck truck. Thankfully, nothing you couldn't deal with. There is no shortage of diverse off road terrain around you. That was a nifty road you were on there. Great video.
online racing shops sell a open hole disk that replaces a thermostat. but i have often ground the legs off an old thermostat bridge pulled the guts, and used the open hole disk as a restrictor. that ^^^^ cant sieze up and overheat😎 you dont need to worry about it not warming up in texas in the winter- - zip ties and bias plies voice.
Great video today Paul. Nice recovery. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Tow On. Keep recovering. Keep Making. God bless.
I really enjoy seeing this Tacoma work. The FJ and the tow truck are nice, but nothing really beats this one. Hope you never retire it or really change it too much.
I used to take the thermostat out for the summer months, But than I machined my own thermostat bypass block out of a solid aluminum that bolts to original spot on the manifold. They sell inline thermostat bypass but I didn't care for the setup and all the might if's. Mine is a two piece side by side design with a butterfly valve for the bypass. Easy to make just have to measure measure and be prepared to eat alot of shavings.
never been stuck with my diesel pickup I have had it around 10 years .. don't rock climb but we do get a ship load of snow where I live .. it's a chevy crew cab ..
It's all down to the gearing, type of transmission and engine response. common rail with DEF and EGR systems all have a delay due to environmental regulations. another 5 years new gas engines will be the same. I've got a VW 1 tonne truck (not sold in USA) and its responsive but reverse is the issue due to the programming limiting power. but on flat ground in reverse without a seatbelt it has enough power to pull you fall off the seat and in my opinion its a bit dangerous
@@samuelorozco255 I know. I was just being funny. This is the stuff that got me to start watching. I personally hope he doesn't change the Taco too much. I enjoy seeing what a slightly modified truck can do. I am curious to see a supercharger on it though.
You know I was only thinking about the Taco on your last vid thinking sheesh do you still have that then seen a glimps of it in the yard was like cool I wonder if it's just been sitting around as we all know if we had the fj we would take that to. Side question Paul what are the rims on the Taco ? Would like to see if I can source some in Australia. And as always love your work 👍🇦🇺
Good rescue. Much as we try, it's always a struggle to make our mechanical devices more reliable. Hope your truck had no major problem with the cooling system.
I agree. Your videos do help people down in a pit. Another person that has a big heart like yours is Heavy D Sparks. Amazing videos. But Paul. You may want to think about talking too him because he has heavy axles and parts that you may like. Stay safe. God Bless.
Paul you and your crew are amazing you always handle every situation no matter what happens. I definitely agree you need to give Taco some love for sure since it is an important member of your team to have for situations like this. Keep up the great work
try some ducted fans at the outer windshield end of the hood. draw heat out of the engine bay. the fans pull in through the radiator but most cars dont give a place for that air to get out except down.
Turn the heater on full. It’s a second radiator and has helped me a couple times in emergencies. It’ll cool it right down. Little back road tip if you didn’t know it already
Well I see that Your the only one I have come across that cools down the radiator the exact way that I was taught to do on a engine that overheats. I even used a pond once for water & seeing this reminded Me of My old 63 Mercury.
Hey Paul on the Golden nugget just something to thank about might want to put on a 5x7 card size of engine spark plugs and size of front-end chunck and rearend chunck put in the glove box.
Hey Faby Rats 🐀 I say when the thermostat is stuck, I would leave the cap off the radiator and drive between 50 and 55 on the highway.👍😉 It circulates somewhat.😯😯
My old Porsche 924 popped off the bleeder nipple on the top hose. Took a bit of caution tape that was hanging across the street. drank the last bit out of a 1,5L bottle and dipped that in the stream on the other side of the building. wrapped tape around the hose that still leaked a bit, filled her up with river water and a 4L can too. Drove till she overheated, filled halve of a water and drove further. Overheat and filled once more until it over heated again. Uh... oh look a puddle of water in mud beside the road just deep enough to get our 1,5L drink bottle, filled the car and with our 5,5L of storage we drive even further. Took me about 4 hours to get home while I was 2.5 hours from home. But man was I happy to be home! And what a great story!
At my lowest point in life it seems lately and hell I’ve been to rehab but I’m 3 years sober. These videos really do help people cause I know they help me. Thank you guys you’re all amazing 🙏🏻
Stay strong brother! 👊
👌
congrats on 3 years. Keep on keeping on.
Keep watching and stay sober. Brighter days are coming
Hang in there brotha, things will get better. Congratulations on 3 years
That is some high quality H2O. good job Waterboy 👏
I hope this comment gets more love. 😂😂
Lol
At least it happened right where it needed water! Had plenty of lake water, LoL!!!! Great Video!
And it seems there is NOT a lot of water out there.
I had a 73 Ford that split the top hose I had some ductape and coat Hager it got me to a gas station 10 miles away, great job with the recovering and God bless from GA
You've gotta wonder what Ford was thinking on those.....
Good recovery guy's....water-boy was most impressive runnin his sack off !!.... thanks for sharing
you can doooo it !
Poor lad, why didnt Paul reverse back a bit, bring the truck to the water not the water to the truck
@@wildforesthome6563 He should have chased a bucket full of steam and told the driving dude go get water from that.
I would have them empty all bottles, fill them each trip. But I have a clean milk jug in every truck with water. If nothing else to wash hands, cuts…. I would think a tool kit, basic supplies in truck. Jug of 50/50 winter water summer, basic tool set. I bought bag of tools, keep adding to it. 12v plug into lighter compressor. Old serpentine belt (from last change). Heck a 2 liter soda bottle of water.
That's why you have kids, free labor.
Where's Poppa Dar been? Good to see him again!
Carl T----He had his arm in a sling for a while . I forget what the problem was .
Nothing that gets me fired up more than when I see, a huge bush bashing truck outback with low profile street tyres and wondering why they are stuck!
...but that wasn't why he was stuck... Paul said the engine just didn't have enough power.
Whoever does the editing on this channel is a keeper!! The camera work, the music, the sound, all make for a great coffee accompaniment.
It's his wife Michelle
And editing a video is not as easy as some people think! It requires skill and it's A LOT of hard work! Michelle is doing a very good job!
Michelle and Deanna our cousin does the editing. I am pretty sure Deanna did most of the editing on this video.
@@josephsorensen7168 - Two extremely talented ladies.
CAT mud flaps Paul!! I love it! Never noticed that, CAT rocks!
Love your channel and video. Just a gentle reminder that Ed is not getting younger. I hope he will be healthy enough to enjoy everyone's work. Keep on keeping on.
Your Water Boy is a true hero 👏
IF you can get at it, a few taps with a tool can sometimes free up a stuck thermostat.
Morning Fab Rats Family!! Always there to lend a hand (or a winch rope)!!! Nice to see Dar and Landon on this recovery ... (Landon has grown into quite the capable young man!!) Good family, Good friends, Good Ethics... doesn't get much better than that!!!❤❤much love to ya'll❤❤
Welomeback dar Paul how are you guys this morning ,great video
Didnt even have to air down love it
late 80's ford taurus fan moves a ton of air. look into it. also if you have a clutch fan get the hayden severe duty clutch. also moves three times more air. kills 1/2 mpg. I always drill a tiny hole in the t-stat for yotas get air under the stat and they will not open with hot air. if you have a pin hole in the stat no air can get trapped.
Also the 90s mark viii fan. I went with 4th gen camaro fans on my ls swapped truck, they move a ton of air too.
Alls well that ends well, take care be safe, don't forget to give the Tacoma some TLC, and have a blessed week amen.
"Go fill this up" and I'm thinkin where in the world is he gonna get water? I dont know why I ever question Paul. Haha love it.
I know I'm gonna catch some grief for this, but that Tacoma is my favorite truck on this channel
Landon's the MVP of today's vid.
An adventure with Papa Dar is always a good thing. The old Taco still gets it done despite being ill.
Momma goat putting in work as she always does. She might have a little fever but that didn’t stop her. Can’t wait to see this girl get the love she deserves. Great job FabRats. It was good seeing Darr out on the trails.
Helping people with a great attitude & smiles... that's doin' the Lord's work - thank you Fab Rats 😇

It's awesome to see Darr out-n-about, good-job, and great video guys, thanks for sharing.
Easy-peasy for you guys give that truck some love real soon

I've never not watched a Fab Rats video right through to the 'Thanks for watchin', and Michelle's incredible work on the editor desk makes it even sweeter!
Lol, the look on Paul's face when he talks about the guy going off into a different (Tom's) trail.
Just what I needed
Good to see Dar with y’all. We have missed him. Great video. 👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Nice work Fab Rats !!!!
Love you guys
I love watching Paul work this guy does more without thinking about it he just has that Get it done attitude. awesome content..... Thanks!!
Having always driven real old cars, I always carry tools, water and oil. And I pray often.
Nice recovery. There was more drama in your own vehicle than with the stuck truck. Thankfully, nothing you couldn't deal with.
There is no shortage of diverse off road terrain around you. That was a nifty road you were on there. Great video.
When turning the hubs in I noticed the rims seen some rocks up close and personal.
I'm glad Dar is feeling better.I want to see his truck after Robbie did his magic on it.
Great recovery guy's the ole' Taco is being tempermental with a little love she'll pipe down lol, Lando is gettin in his cardio, God bless ya'll ❤😉👍
Awesome recovery guys. So sorry the Taco got so hot on the way up there. Can't wait to see the TLC and upgrades you'll do Paul.
Love how you did it in 2wd to the guy, then the guy was talking about 4lo crawling to get there.
Little tires, insufficient power. 4Lo was probably the only reason he got as far as he did.
Right when I was going to settle for one of those inside the shop building awesome stuff videos. Then you go an do something like this ! 😎
Water boy? No problem. Just remember ....what ever you do....just be the best at it. You did great!
Even with an overheating truck the jobs still gets done. Despite that going to track and helping somebody else is always a great thing.
It was good to see the Tacoma again . I hadn't seen it in quite a while.
Getting to the scene is most of the fun!!
Fab Rats family is awesome! Would really love to meet these guys!
Great job guys!
Paul & Michelle, your channel is my 2022 favorite channel to watch. Keep up the good work.
It’s my favorite channel too.
Paul you guys did a mighty good deed. Sure was nice of you. Cool video 👍👍👍❤️
Always an adventure keep em coming you guys are a blast to watch!!!!
Overheating tip : turn the cabin heater on full blast to dump some of that heat
Great to see Darr out with you. Good sign he is feeling pretty good. Nice job on the recovery.
Paul is like his truck bad ass and reliable.
Great place to get water, we stopped there several times, taking hay to the ranch
online racing shops sell a open hole disk that replaces a thermostat.
but i have often ground the legs off an old thermostat bridge pulled the guts, and used the open hole disk as a restrictor.
that ^^^^ cant sieze up
and overheat😎
you dont need to worry about it not warming up in texas in the winter- - zip ties and bias plies voice.
Great video today Paul. Nice recovery. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Tow On. Keep recovering. Keep Making. God bless.
How many bottles of water does a Ram hold? LOL!!! Good job guys!! Good to see Darr out and about again!!
Another nice easy rescue, hardly had to turn the hub's in, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I really enjoy seeing this Tacoma work. The FJ and the tow truck are nice, but nothing really beats this one. Hope you never retire it or really change it too much.
Good work Paul!👍
You should get all that water out of the cooling system and just use Toyota coolant, also the supercharger sounds like a great idea
Thoroughly enjoy watching your channel and adventures Paul !! Thank you for sharing ✌️
Hog Canyon!! Love that place.
I used to take the thermostat out for the summer months, But than I machined my own thermostat bypass block out of a solid aluminum that bolts to original spot on the manifold.

Interesting , Thank You . A fine example of why checking oil, water ,and other stuff is so important .
i cant wait to see what happened to the golden nugget!!
Lalo - Different strokes. I don't really care about the Nugget. But most people do.
Yet another fun day in Hog Canyon. Yep the Taco needs some love
Awesome as usual...
Lesson learned from watching MORR and FabRats: “Leave the diesels on the pavement.”
Yes, I'm glad Paul said something about it!
never been stuck with my diesel pickup I have had it around 10 years .. don't rock climb but we do get a ship load of snow where I live .. it's a chevy crew cab ..
@@randytravis3998 diesels weight would probably be great for snow. Sand. Not so much
It's all down to the gearing, type of transmission and engine response.

@@desertfox3860 I believe Matt from MORR referred to them as "helpless." Of course, he was referring to 2wd diesels, but diesel none the less.
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
You guys are killing us with these filler videos. 😆 🤣 You know we want the Nugget!!!! You are the best. Keep doing what you do.
Filler videos?? These are the videos. The nugget was a rare occasion.
@@samuelorozco255 I know. I was just being funny. This is the stuff that got me to start watching. I personally hope he doesn't change the Taco too much. I enjoy seeing what a slightly modified truck can do. I am curious to see a supercharger on it though.

He might swap an put a mini cooper supercharged motor in it. 🤪🤪🤪😉😅😅😅🤣😂
@@danielfritz8569 i would not consider a solid axle second gen tacoma slightly modified

Good rescue. Much as we try, it's always a struggle to make our mechanical devices more reliable. Hope your truck had no major problem with the cooling system.
I no 1 thing he will never swap time to actually thank his subscriber family, dude is a total im the best

When I saw the license plate I knew what the problem was. A "Texas Flatlander"!🤣😂🙃🌵

Hi Paul you guys keep up on your youtubing. I really love watching your guys shows..
Good rescue guys, Tacoma came through again even if there was a hiccup along the way.
Great videos.........from Fontana Ca. Love what you guys do, both in the shop and on recoveries.
Good job getting him out. Hope the Toyota is going to be ok.

Nice work guys. Great job passing these skills on to your kids paul.
Good to see Dar!
It’s been a real long time since we’ve seen the Toyota out on a rescue. I miss that o’l girl!!
That TACO is the bomb. If i had the knowledge, tools or $$ that would be my dream Hunting truck.
Thanks Paul
