I've just watched a half hour video of 2 guys cutting, welding, drilling and hitting stuff and I've no idea what they were doing or why and I still enjoyed it.
if manufacturers made 4x4rs as they should be,,paul would be bored..theres very few 4rbees from factory that will do what you want. thats why the after market is sooooo big.. 4x4 requirements. 4 coil susp,2 solid diffs, low range crawl gear, 1 ton diffs. 5 or 6 speed. or auto with lock up torque converter.rare..low down torque engine,preferably diesel. 6 cyl..NOT,a 6bt cummins,too heavy,weight is everything in a 4x4..only 2 decent 4x4rs in aus,are the 80 series toyota & gu nissan..only jeep id buy would be a jl rubicon,then fix it..but i like my cut to swb f250 1975 highboy..same as the chevy cucv or dodge power wagon..

We've all had days like this. This is reality - not a TH-cam edit where everything is suddenly perfect. It can be frustrating but it happens to everyone, even great fabricators like Paul. Respect!
I love the no bullshit approach of Paul and matt and there man enough to say thay make a mistake and fix it as soon thay have the parts team work and more of a family than a team
Paul and Matt are just like peanut butter and jelly ...sure they good by themselves but put them together and damn you got a party! And on a side note, Michele awesome job on your “Crazy Train” rendition! 👍
I'm not sure if I'll ever figure out the relationship between Matt and the other related mechanical and recovery shops in the area, such as Fab Rats and Casey, but they all seem to get along so very well. It's a pleasure to watch these people, including spouses, interact and have fun together. The skills of the guys in building their sport and recovery vehicles is absolutely amazing.
Hi everyone at Fab Rats. Love the show, coming to it late so playing a lot of catch up. Michelle is right, we don’t say 'shrimp' in Australia, it’s definitely 'prawn'. It was probably a Paul Hogan marketing thing for the US. Thanks for setting everybody straight Michelle. Cheers, Gordon from Melbourne.
Yeah! Blame Paul Hogan (from Crocodile Dundee). We have Small, Medium and Large 'King Prawns' (that's a species), we have tiger prawns and schoolies.(they are the tastiest and most fiddley to peel) All the other varieties are named after where they come from. I am speaking from the Sydney point of view. We don't have lobsters (they have long front legs with pincers) We have crayfish, again named after the costal region they are caught. Sorry for the rant.
“ Put a Shrimp on the Barbie” comes from Adds inviting Americans to visit Australia some time ( years ) ago. See how well it Worked (Rob from Australia)
Yep we only have prawns here in Aussie land, you guys are the ones that call them shrimps !! And contrary to belief and Paul Hogan, we don't always throw them on the BBQ !!
2 different sub species with a number of subtle variations but equally delicious. They were called shrimp in the Paul Hogan commercial so as not to confuse Americans. We don't usually cook them on a BBQ as they are normally supplied pre cooked. We have freshwater shrimps in Australia that are equally delicous.
The clip that shows Paul’s immediate concern for Matt during the derby tells me all I need to know about his character. Very glad I am going back to watch all the old episodes.
Just watched this again 9 months later and just love watching the process change over and over again to get it right and not just close enough. It really is fun watching the mental fabrication process as it evolves.
You guys, and family, are just great people. Deep thanks for sharing the work you are doing and the example of how to treat people, live the life you love...that came across corney, but hope you get it.
I would love to come and hang out in Paul's workshop its one of the best I've seen. There is more ad-hoc fabrication than in any workshop I've ever seen.
Great video! This definitely shows how much work it really takes to set up properly suspension geometry from scratch. That's really going to solid setup when it's done.
Papa Darr, I tore the biceps tendon off the radius lifting drywall off the truck. I was 45 and the recovery was rough, but 2 years later I am finally starting to feel strong on that side again. The only drawback is not being able to twist my arm like I used to. You look like you are doing great after only a week or so. Heal fast and get behind the wheel soon.
Michelle, I‘m glad that you’ve dropped the music on your more recent videos. The music on this one made it hard to hear the comments. Music is fine, just not while the subjects are talking and not too loud. You do a fantastic job on all your videos! I’ve watched almost all of them and eagerly await each new one.
This will sound like a lie but I swear it's true. When I was a kid a friend's grandpa had a system I have never seen anyone else use. He just dumped all his tools randomly in a bunch of 5 gallon buckets. When he went to work on a car, he would literally just dump them on his concrete shop floor. When he was done he shoveled them all up with a metal snow shovel and dumped them in the buckets. He said that no matter how organized he was at the beginning of a repair, most of his tools ended up on the floor anyway, and this system saved him time in the end.
Paul and Matt at it again what a great duo! Happy new year ya'll hope it is a truly blessed year for you and your families! God bless and take care stay safe.
Yep, that is life. One step forward and three back so you can try again. That is okay. Been there and done that. Glad to spend the time with you folk. I spent many years in shops like that, only we were not nearly as well equipped doing that stuff with big plug in drills, grinders and oxy-acetylene torches and of course stick welders. Plus lots of big hammers and big pry bars with long pieces of pipe for more leverage. Glad you are getting your shop squared away a piece at a time.
Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan) was doing commercials before he did his movies and Australia was looking to get more Americans to come to thee. So , "Put another shrimp on the barby," was there way of inviting people to come there. Also a great catch phrase.

OUCH ! .... I feel with you papa Dar. Hope your pain reliever is working allright, all the best. Thanks for the video. Always entertaing watching how pro's get around problems.
Outstanding video. Paul always makes it look so easy and fast, that viewers get the wrong idea. Some problems take more time, like this one. But you only fail if you stop trying. Thank you!
All part of custom fabrication! Going thru this and having to make adjustments to over come issues shows the sign of a Damn Good Fabricator! Great work Paul, Matt and of course the input of Papa Dar! Really enjoyed the video!
Tore my biceps tendon, same arm about 20 yrs ago. Similar surgery repair. You'd be surprised how hard it is to open a can of soup, or make a sandwich with one hand! I bought some cheap sneakers with velcro, tying shoes was also a chore. I know right where Papa Dar is at! Was a good 30 days for a solid healing, then the PT started. Hang in there, he'll be healed up good ready for Spring time trail riding.
When your fabricating and your mind is trying to envision the outcome secondary things like pencils, tape measures and safety glasses are constantly misplaced. Always enjoy the videos!
Getting closer my brothers and sister... Ol' Pappa Darr will be out wheel'n before much longer... well, when his arms all healed up, I'm praying for a good & speedy recovery for you "Pappa" 👍 You all are doing a great job on his build... awesome job brother 👍 As always.... Keep the tires aimed towards the ground and all eyes upon the Lord.....
Yall need to be scheduled more often 🤫.. I'll let them know you was just thinking about it today 😂.. Yall are so awesome.. And the wife comments are priceless as I say before.. But I hear soup it hits a hole new level.. Thanks for the entertainment today
I had to watch every second. As Paul said in an earlier video, this is my happy place. I worked on my Jeep today and then got to see an excellent video of the master. Michelle, still waiting for some more karaoke.
I Enjoy your videos, here's a tip to set the lathe tool for cutting. Put part in chuck, round stock, bring your cutting tool up to part. Take a 6" ruler(thin one works best) place between part and tool. Adjust your tool height down and pinch the ruler gently to where it will just hold it, adjust and bump it until the top of the ruler leans slightly toward you at a slight angle, you are just under the center of the part. This is for a little clearance to eliminate chatter.

They dont have any idea why they do what they do, either.

Shrimp On The Barbie came from a 1984 tv ad by the Australian Tourism Commission to be played in the US to get more tourism.
And to answer the questions we do eat Prawns, King Prawns most commonly

@@jennyoreilly5980 I live in Connecticut on the East Coast We love our lobsters and sea food
@@jennyoreilly5980 We used to have crayfish in WA too but apparently
they sell better if they were called "Rock Lobster".
Paula and Matt together is always entertaining. Keep it up!!!
I love it! I hope this channel gains traction as much as Matts, it deserves it.
It's good to see friends and family hanging out and getting stuff done!
I hope Papa Dar's arm heals up quickly and completely. Great video. Good to see Matt visited.

I love how close Matt and Paul became heard Matt say Paul is his best friend love it
I love the patience that you and Matt have working together on a project, and for someone `s father.
Pre-emptive Like executed!! Pop corn at the ready. Here we go!! A new MORR & Fab Rats video dropping within minutes of each other is the best.
Looks like winning is winning and it takes a little time and effort, just like life! Get well soon Dar!
Paul and Matt in a shop, on a trail, anywhere at all, is entertainment at its finest, and it’s simplest, at the same time! LOL.
It is always more fun to be the guy looking over the shoulder and saying how about this ?? Stay safe and healthy.
That was awesome seeing them go through the grueling fabrication process. Great attitudes !!!
Paul great to see this old video the shop was a lot different back then. It was great to see you and Matt working together. PaPa Darr they love you.
The sound the lathe tool holder makes as it thunks down has always been something I enjoy for some reason. 16:32
Yep we only have prawns here in Aussie land, you guys are the ones that call them shrimps !!
And contrary to belief and Paul Hogan, we don't always throw them on the BBQ !!
We don't call them shrimp, prawn and shrimp are different things.
2 different sub species with a number of subtle variations but equally delicious.
They were called shrimp in the Paul Hogan commercial so as not to confuse Americans.
We don't usually cook them on a BBQ as they are normally supplied pre cooked.
We have freshwater shrimps in Australia that are equally delicous.
Man I could go for some lobster and steak I haven't eaten lobster in many years We have plenty here in Connecticut'
That was an awesome gift holders. of carbide cutting tools and holders.
The clip that shows Paul’s immediate concern for Matt during the derby tells me all I need to know about his character. Very glad I am going back to watch all the old episodes.
This is better than TV. You get all time it's take to come up with a plan. A joy to watch.
You guys deserve 100k subscriptions from the shear amount of work you put in on this video.... 🤩🤘
Just watched this again 9 months later and just love watching the process change over and over again to get it right and not just close enough. It really is fun watching the mental fabrication process as it evolves.
Good friends are great to have!!
I look forward to Sundays. Moring coffee and some youtube vids. Thanks for sharing, makes my day every Sunday.
Paul and Matt have the best channels.. thank you and keep up the good work
Thanks for watching!!

@@FabRats Only one problem is that I live in Melbourne Australia.. bugga...
Watching good friends working out a problem turns it into something else. And lots of laughing away frustrations excellent!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Papa Dar. Did the same thing to my arm about a year and a half ago.
I love it when Paul and matt work together. Makes for great content... and humor. Especially that Smurf ladder... lol

At least you two don't give up .
I love how Paul is *ALWAYS* losing something... same thing happens to me!
Was thinking the same thing...maybe Paul should get an assistant to keep track of everything he misplaces!
Thats why I have a box of spare sockets mostly being 10 to 18 mm's lol
All the damn time. Put screwdriver down, want to pick it up again and it magicly moved!
I have at least 2 doz screwdrivers, tape measure, etc still can’t find one half the time🥴

In stead of lowering the Jeep wouldn't it have been easier to build him a step stool to get in and out of it? Haha another great video, thanks!
What fun would that have been?😜
I like the “make it up as you go” fabbing!
Great video! Brings back memories of when my dad, uncle and I would work on our vehicles trying to problem solve issues as we worked on them.
Family environment is very humbling. The human being who spends 200k miles cross country alone. These priceless moments I can sleep on. 🇺🇲💪👊
I could watch these guys and ladies all day. They are fantastic 👍👍👍👍

Someday I would love to take a trip, and have Paul do some fab work for me.
Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan) was doing commercials before he did his movies and Australia was looking to get more Americans to come to thee. So , "Put another shrimp on the barby," was there way of inviting people to come there. Also a great catch phrase.
Thanks for breaking it down, Matt! I wasn’t quite sure what was going on until the “Fabbing 101 with Matt” came on at 6:36
Sometimes you have to do a lot to do a little, but "stuffs gotta get did" and another great vid!
I love hearing the word "clumb". Reminds me of my grandpa.
Omg my fav if you can get Matt to come in work more often I would love it! Totally fun to watch. Paul and Matt p&m
Just admiring the welding on that crossmember, it's a beautiful thing. I'm learning to weld again, it's something to aspire to!
Now that the compressor is outside and quieter, you need a good shop radio! When I’m working on a project it’s always easier with some good tunes.
Got one!👍🏻 but due to copyright issues it can’t be played while filming.
Ah yah... I forgot about that dumb rule they have. I figured for as set up as your shop is, that you’d have music too!
Nothing like a good ol' concussion to start out a lasting friendship.
Yesss Michelle you know your 80s music lol I love it. Yes you're right prawns
Hope you heal up well Papa Dar! I did that to my bicep about 4 years ago. No fun but I was able to make a full recovery! Yall take care and stay well!
Love watching the problem solving and creativity! Solid fab work 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for your knowledge and teachings they keep me and others inspired.
I love both channels... but when you guys are together- with wives and family- it’s WAAAAAAAAY better!!! HEAL UP PD!!!
Stay safe fam!!!
Matt and Paul together with papa Darr is the equivalent of organized chaos... combined with perfect harmony. Lol
Coming to y’all from Matt’s off road. Have a feeling y’all just might become a TH-cam power house.
