On Today’s episode…We find out that Papa Dar Doesn’t have commitment issues! Paul finally got to do what he wanted for a change, Michele is a walker and the winners of the contest were a couple of lucky son of a guns! And a special thanks to Keeps for sponsoring so we can see Dar in a wig!!!👍👍👍
Paul I think you had more fun with Michele riding along.
This needs to be pinned. Lol
Read in Jeremy Clarksons voice, On today's episode of Top Rats
Jrzyboy99
You forgot to mention Michelle found a little sister she didn't know she had... LoL
wait that’s not Dar’s natural golden hairlocs??? 🤣
Hay Michelle... You and the winners wife could pass as sisters... Paul... It's so nice to see all your hard work getting put to use on the trails.... Great video everyone 😁👍
I was thinking the same.
Also thinking the same. Cool couple
Couple times you couldn't tell who was who...
Even their voices are similar.
Yeah i also was thinking that maybe there was postal carrier or milkman in common way back when....
The look on that lady’s face when Papa Dar was commenting about having “more” brakes now, priceless! Great video guys, keep them coming!
Exactly what I was thinking. Priceless
I almost piddled myself laughing when Dar said that. The look on her face was priceless. LMFAO
I've known Darwin almost my whole life. This is the first time I have ever seen him in shorts! And Paul you never, NEVER say, "Nobody's broken yet today", until you are completely off the trail.😄 Nicely done. I think someone is going back to Wisconson with plans to build his/her own rig.
What a classic line, when the visitor said, “I thought there were no more obstacles.”
Paul, “This isn’t an obstacle, this a road.”
Resounds like like Crocodile Dundee, “That not a knife, this is a knife.”
T-SHIRT!!
Comment of the day
Agreed!
Brandon and Tiffany were awesome, Tiffany looked and sounded like she could be Michelle's sister. Brave couple to ride trails that technical for the first time. Great to see Dar's vision out on the trails doing so well!
I got to meet Papa Dar last summer when I stayed at his campground (Bryce Zion Campground). He is every bit as nice in person as he is in these videos!! Great to see him getting to enjoy his jeep!! :)
I believe Dar's Jeep was a success, well done. The best part was Michelle's reactions while riding.
Dar's Jeep is amazing. Incredibly capable rock crawler now, and Dar was having the time of his life. It was like he kept being constantly surprised at realization after realization. 'It's got power now.' 'Oh, it's got brakes now!' In fact there some very capable off-road vehicles on that trail trail today. I loved the green Jeep with its three foot of ground clearance.
As soon as I'm done watching Matt's upload I get a notification there's a new Fab Rats video? Darn fine way to start a Sunday!
Ha ha my exact words I said .
I get them the same way. Makes me think they got the same editors. lol
@@mrfunnylookinhayes9088 Michelle edits fab rats videos.
Matt has someone else edit his videos I can't remember his name but he was in Matt's video today.
Woke up this morning, switched on the tube, had 9+ notifications, I usually save my favorite for last, not today, I couldn't wait for a Fab Rat video that never disappoints. Paul you built one good stout 4 x 4 for Papa Dar, it works awesome at crawling. Great video as always, thanks Michelle
"Maybe more commitment." lmao Then Paul's run definitely showed that a little extra wheel base isn't always a bad thing.
If I had known that the guest were from Wisconsin, I would have hide in their luggage to go along. They looked like they had a vacation that will live with them the rest of their lives. Thanks for sharing PaPa Dar's maiden voyage over the rocks.
Oh we did. We're already planning another trip to Utah. There's so so much more to see and do.
@@blsully I love Utah. Live in the UP of Michigan and have been there a dozen or more times. It all started back in 2000 after winning a round trip ticket to anywhere in the USA.
@@koslund11 We lived in Chassell (just SE of Houghton/Hancock) in the Keweenaw for a year! Loved our time in the UP. Would probably still be there if work had stayed consistent.
I would love to go down there and rock crawl one day. Im for Wisconsin also. I do a lot of mudd running me and my son. My boy had 3 big Chevys and is building another one. I have 1 and working on it putting a big block 454 in it. Great video
Great fun for everyone. It cracks me up classic husband and wife interaction with Paul and Michelle with Paul pushing Michelle’s buttons. Love it.
I love watching Michelle freaking out on the trail , she cracks me up . I love when Paul just laughs it off. Your contest winners didn't even flinch on the trail. Great to see Papa Dar out on the trail with his Jeep , cant wait to see it painted . Until next time take care and be safe guys and I'm looking forward to your next video.
I love watching you two interract when you are 'Wheelin'... When you hit a hole or drop... Michelle screams & Paul just says "Oh Michelle", & gets his "I love teasing her" grin across his face! You guys are so fun...
The Toyota and the green jeep were the best performers but all the others were awesome too. Papa Dar’s jeep is off the charts … can’t wait to see it finished. As usual best videos out there.
"I'm sorta sorry, I guess" - Paul Cox I've had that very sentiment on many occasions. Looked like the winners had a great time and Dar's jeep is back to jeepin better than ever! Keep up the great work guys, you've become one of my go to channels that I'm glued to.
She’s a Walker not a rider!! What a great line! But, Michele did great staying in the truck! I remember when I first started wheeling I was definitely afraid of the drop-offs and cliffs. I grew up in Charleston SC where the landfill was the tallest mountain! 🤣. So when Joe moved us out to the PNW it was a whole new world for me.
What a great adventure with the winners. Y'all are always having fun & living it up in S. Utah. Y'all Take Care and God Bless
Congratulations to the contest winners and Dar's jeep really kicked some butt. Paul's workmanship at its best.
YOU FOLKS ARE A BLAST TO BE WITH WHEREVER YOUS GET TO...THANKS FOR TAKEING ME ALONG FOR THE RIDE/ ADVENTURES....GOD BLESS....
Everyone’s smiling. Couldn’t wipe the smiles off your guests faces!!😀👍
What an awesome day! So nice to see Dar's Jeep out on the rocks! And that last shot of Dar in the Jeepster is pure gold. Life is just a lot easier when you have a sense of humor.
What a cool lady (Tiffany) is. She didn't even quit , no matter how steep the trail.
It's got more brakes than it use to have. Thanks for the reassurance papa dar
I love how Paul after years of being married gets a thrill out of scaring his wife silly. It was worth watching just to see him laugh.
I absolutely agree
My Sunday morning is complete. And I'm super jealous of the Hog Canyon experience. The only thing better than Michelle's laugh is to hear her scream on the trail. 😃
What I wouldn’t give to get those views. It was great to see that couple enjoying their win and as always Paul and Michelle are the best. The food looked delicious. Love the channel
THIS WAS FANTASTIC!! So incredible for the winners!!!! You guys are wonderful!
Dar is my Hero! I'm 60 but, I want to be like him when I grow up!
13:16 The good ole Kaiparowits Plateau. Grew up in the South. Have lived in Utah for 20+ years. Traveled all over the US. Midwesterners are some of the best folks we've me, and we've me all kinds of good people. One of our favorite campgrounds that we've ever stayed in was just south of Green Bay on Lake Michigan. The Wisconsin folks were so inviting. Would love to go back.
That was fabulous!! You all are just incredible! Thanks for taking us along. 👍👍👍👍👍😎
Papa darrs jeep was great. Yalls guest looked very happy. That was a great trip yall put together. It should become an annual event at different trails . Love the video.
Ol papa Dar was loving he was able to impress Tiffany with his wheelin skills. Lol
O M G it's finally on!! Papa Dar looks happy as heck. Buncha capable machines out there just having fun. What a way to spend a day! Congratulations to the winning viewer. We are so jelly. I just can't get enough of Wig Dar hahaha! Thanks for the superb scenery. Wish Michelle would've gotten out of the Taco more and kept more of the scenic views in the edit! :D Have a good one yall
"Big gulp huh well see ya later" what a classic movie line
YES!! haha
Awesome to see the hard work you put into the jeep pay off. Thank you for doing the fan trip, that is very respectable.
As much fun as it was to watch, I'll bet it was much more fun to be there in person.
6:48 "It's got more brakes than it used to"
Tiff: *expression of pure terror*
seriously jealous of that experience... and I used to live down there.
The ending had me rolling LOL !! So nice to see Papa Dar out in the jeep finally along with everyone else , hopefully we'll get to see another outing in the near future !! Still waiting on the Fj build video since it's constantly hiding in the background :)
@9:45 make sure to always tell your passengers to keep their hands off the roll cage only hold onto the belts or designated areas, your mind isn't fast enough to think of letting go in a roll over and will result in loosing your extremities. I've seen it many times first hand. And the last thing you need in the middle of an unaccusable area is someone missing body parts and hours from help.
The wheel'in was fun but the Keeps commercial put this one over the top. My feet have yet to touch the ground and probably will not any time soon. 10 thumbs up Y'all!
Hey people ,I think you have so much to see in your 50 states ,like many Van life people ,RVers they are trying to see the 50 states and they take us as viewers with them o You Tube
I 🤔 no your backdoor is fantastic, seeing what you have to offer and what Matt's off-road shows us is eye-opening .
Thanks for the rock ride via You Tube 😊☺️
One of the very few channels i watch the sponsored ads for but y’all make it so fun i have to watch them!
Congratulations to the winners. Looks fun. Wish I could join u all wheelin one day.
The opening to the title says it all, and we’ve been waiting for this one for a short minute..
Papa Dar’s Jeep is cool looking now can’t wait to see it completely done.
I see a lot of the viewers have stated Ms. Brittney could be Ms. Michelle’s sister!
This was a top ten video due to the laugh a minute attitude you all keep,
please share more adventures with us, and having the winners riding in different rigs
gave them a lot to see, feel and experience for themselves a lot of people never will.
Congratulations to you two! If you get involved in this sport drop a line or two on here
To let us viewers know how you are doing…
Love the FabRats crew and their wheeling posse!
P.S. supper looked amazing!
I don't know who,s daddy papa dars is but I love him, keep on wheeling.
The folks from Wisconsin were so ready for this! They are legit fans and they stayed in the whole time. Most people do not invite people out for giveaways and this just shows are kind all of you are.
Darr is my absolute favorite for the commercials. That guy just kills it, and me LOL.
A testimony to Paul’s brilliant fabrication skills….because all those vehicles got a great workout. 😁👍🏻
As for the novices being riders not walkers……they say ignorance is bliss…😉👍🏻
Good job all 💪🏻💪🏻
THOSE 2 WINNERS RODE VERY WELL IN BOTH VEHICLES..AS FAR AS I COULD SEE THEY ENJOYED THEIR OUTING..SHE DID HER BEST NOT TO SCREAM SHE SAID...I'LL BET ITS A MEMORY THAT WILL BE WITH THEM BOTH FOR YEARS TO COME.... GOD BLESS ONE & ALL...
You people all have the most infectious smiles and genuine laughter. It is why I keep coming back.
Paul it was great to meet and speak with you at the Mt. Carmel car show! Cant wait to see the Jeep Commander project for Michelle! Loved hearing the story on the tow truck build and history!
Also had the chance to try the Fab Rat burger...and holy crap it was hands down one of the nest burgers out there amd the fries we super good too!
Thanks for the great channel and content to watch!
Dar`s Jeep was killin` it on the trail!
Paul You're the man, Dar's custom Jeep looks ssssooo good out on the trail.
I am loving all the awesome stuff that comes outta your shop.
I swear I love this channel! You guys are awesome and know how to have fun!!!
Papa Dar has a Crawler now!!! YAY! And a wig!!!! LOL This was a fun video! Everybody had a great day!
It’s so awesome seeing how amazing the build turned out and how it handles the trails! I can’t wait for the old Toyota truck to be done to be even more blown away with how well Paul can build an off road vehicle!
Southwest Utah, beautiful. I was in Kanab last week. Was hoping to maybe see more of the SW corner of your state. But motor gremlins ended that chance. Gotta get back there for sure. Wheeling with friends, living amidst beauty, working for the life you love, you are blessed!
that look like such a fun time, and it's great you give the opportunity to experience wheeling, and if you every get to Australia look me up I would be happy to show you around my part of the world, take care and thanks again.
You guys did a hell of a good job on Papa Dar's jeep. Looks great extended and does great out wheeling!
That looks like a dang good time! Especially the sitting around the fire in the evening part.
Shout out to Michelle - damn straight Australia is lockdowned !!!! I'm in Melbourne the most lockdown city in the world. At least I have awesome videos from Fab Rats to watch, need something to do..ahhh well maybe by the end of the year we will be able to do things, I hope!!!!!!!!
Brandon and Tiffany were real troopers. Awesome video!
That looks like so much fun 😎 Your guests were such good sports! Everyone I’ve ever met from Wisconsin is so easy going! Great video
7.35 This shot explains that spot pretty well! Must be nice to crawl trough.
This looks like so much fun. A rock crawling trip is for sure on my bucket list
Seeing papa Dar's Jeep on the trail for the 1st time oh man almost made me have a stroke! Lol Nice to see!!
Paul makes it all look so easy!
If there was a two thumbs up button i would have hit it.
Thank you for showing good old southern Utah hospitality.
Was that your favorite hamburger and potatoes dutch oven recipe?
My 9 year old daughter and I love watching Fab Rats and Matt’s off road recovery!! Sorry Matt Fab Rats is our favorite! We love the projects and all the scenery, it’s a lot different than SW Georgia! Thanks for all you share with us!!
Awesome video! Darr’s Jeep looks super capable. Look forward to seeing the finished product. Thanks for sharing!
Love the closing shot. The ad on my iPhone blocked the voew of the Jeepster but not those long flowing locks of blond hair!! Nice video..great time for your winners.
Great content and another high performance rock crawler build. The family atmosphere with no politics is refreshing. It gives me hope that there is more to humanity than petty bickering.
Great crew, great trails, beautiful scenery. You all did an awesome job giving the winners a first hand experience on rock crawling and seeing a bunch of Paul's handiwork working.
👍👍
Loved the Vlog. The contest winner couple had a great time. Always have a great time with Fab Rat Crew. Missed seeing Matt and his crew. Love PaPa Dar Jeep.
Awesome video. Papa Darr is a big kid at heart. God bless him. Looks like a lot of fun.
And finally, after all the hours of genius fabricating, there's the Princess riding the completed Chariot, waving to the world (well, Melbourne, Australia, at least); earning ad money, too - all in one final frame of the video! Just boody brilliant.
PD’s jeep is an awesome build. For cosmetic purposes only, I would do the bottom horizontal tube all the way around and then with thin wall tube( or not) I would do another horizontal tube all the way around the bottom. 4 or 5 inches above the bottom tube. Just a thought.
Paul's Toyota has never failed to do anything...Matt brings him along to make sure his jeep doesn't get stuck! :That wig papa dar was wearing at the end completely ruined a memory of a girl named Nancy that I used to cherish.... :D
The last few seconds of the video was definitely my favorite part! PAPA DAR is a TRIP! Love your Golden Locks of hair, Keeps REALLY WORKS! Lol!
Nice camera Job, Usually it's hard to tell on Camera how steep a hill is but with that shot at 7:50 of Papa Dar coming up that rock hill you can tell just how steep that sucker is. Good job!
SSSSOOOOOO Jealous. Not only did you get to go crawling but you got to see the first trip of the Darmobile!!! Then a campfire and dutch oven cooking. It's like my dream weekend.
Papa Dar's jeep did a great job the smile on his face said it all, be blessed always 🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗
Me and my gf took her stock Rubicon on 31's all over hog canyon and let me tell you that was a wild ride, safe to say wont be going back without a taller lift and more tire. Yes we made it in and out without breaking anything or getting stuck but the skid plates and rock sliders took a gnarly beating
Love watching your videos. I seen just about everyone . Even watched some of them 2 or 3 times
Nothing better than a good day of rock crawling. Papa Dars jeep is awesome. Can't wait to see it painted. Looks like Paul is enjoying his retirement.
I seen a smile on Paul's face like no other ☺️💯.. Keep up the fun vibe and we all know you just added another build with the visitors you had. Bet he's on the way looking for a build for you. Have a great day today and always we love you 😎👍💯
Dars jeep is awesome! I could tell by his face he was enjoying it too
I sure wish folks around here was as friendly n fun luvin as the fab rats n Matt's crew are ,no one gets pissed or is angry folls are just having a good fun time no matter.be well
I often wondered about rock crawling & why so many like it, now I see why, nice work both in engineering and outcome. Love your work!👍👍
Maaaan they are SOOO lucky to get to go wheelin/crawlin & BBQ'n with yawl !
Great video as always !!
Papa Dar now has the Jeep of Jeeps for all to want.
The contest winners wife looks like she could b Michele's sister! Haha! Super cool! Awesome video! I let out an involuntary "yes when I seen papa dars jeep and read the thumbnail! Can't wait to see Paul's Toyota next! Good video from Matt in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania!
Reckon that17 inches (?) that you added to Dar's jeep was a masterstroke!! Looks more agile now.
Thanks for making my Sunday a really good day because my Saturday night sucked I went to a local demo derby and was treated to adult bumper cars instead of a demolition derby so thank you all for the video glad everybody had fun
Container tiny house was awesome!
Paul the agitator/instigator.
“That wasn’t an obstacle that was just the road”. 👍🏻
Love this. Papa Dar has been at this for awhile, he just cranked it up and made the young bucks up their game.
Awesome video. Papa D’a Jeep is looking and operating great
The colors Red and Gray look pretty good together.
Oh boy !!!..... so cool !!!.... Great job on the video work Shell....great time was had by all !!!..... Dar sure was beaming !!.... and rightly so !!
