After the welding was finished, I was waiting for Matt to touch the metal...again
Michelle, thanks for putting in work to get all of the great outside footage on this trip! And i have to give it to Matt's wife...she stayed in the Morrvair for virtually every obstacle on the trail! haha :) Y'all are awesome!
Michelle, you capture so much in your videos. It's almost like you're telling us a story. Thank you. You do a great job!
"Horsepower Sweat"
I am 100% using that one...
Rudy and the basic Cherokee that won’t quit
Totally! That was what stuck out to me... humble but great!
By far a great video. Really enjoyed this one ! Between Paul’s and Matt’s families I feel like I’ve known them all my life. Thanks for taking us along Paul!
Arrived at Harrahs at 4am this morning after having replaced an alternator in Indiana on the turnpike, trailer tires in salt lake city friday afternoon and having to get my 2012 RAM 6.7 towed to Wendiver, Utah after it destroyed a unit bearing and that set us back 11 hours but the Jeep is perfect and 3,000 in repairs on the tow pig got us here to hit the Rubicon tomorrow morning!
Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey through Rubicon !
As long as it's still leakin you still have some 😂😂
Like a Harley and it's motor oil.
Love your tail cam catching little critters steeling your sunflower seeds.
What's amazing is everyone was able to drive their vehicles home after this.
Spoiler alert.
The bonus is there's a part store at the end as long as you aren't alone (and that's a horrible idea) someone can make a parts run if you can limp into town you can fix it in the motel parking lot
Paul seems to make good use of his farm jack, I’d love to see a video with his tips & tricks. Thanks for your videos!
Tip number 1 never lean over the handle
I always wonder if an air mattress has ever stayed up?
ive got one i use as a couch and itll hold air for about 4-5 days even when someone is sleeping on it and were all sitting on it all day too
Viagra for camping gear?
In a fit of frustration after sleeping on an uncomfortable regular mattress, I bought an air mattress for my house and threw my coil spring out while I shopped for a replacement memory foam mattress. The air mattress was such a relief after my old coil spring I slept on it for about six months, never needed to pump it up once! I think that was the one air mattress in the entire universe that held air LOL
I've had the same air mattress in my camping gear the last 6 year's and it holds air the entire summer 2 weeks at a time before we move to another site for another 2 weeks it's just a walmart special my dog even gets to sleep on it when it's raining
Wow, amazing you guys are an awesome team of friends that we all would like to have. Thank you very much for sharing your family adventure with us. Love from California.
So much entertainment In one video, cant thank you guys enough.. Ian - UK.
Low gears help so much on the Rubicon with the small boulders because you roll just a bit slower and from Cadillac hill to the springs, camp and go to the sluices and back out is the best route.
Thank you so much for the amazing videos of your trip through the Rubicon. I glad you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed watching the adventure. California is a way different terrain than Utah. If you all ever want to go sand riding you should check out Glamis in Southern California, the dunes there are pretty cool.
Certainly some awesome scenery over there. I could park up and soak up the atmosphere. And a dent on the Rubicon, is to me a right of passage, to remind you, that you had fun; with a group of awesome like minded off-roaders.
Awesome job on traveling the rubicon trail looks like yinz had a great time glad everyone made it home safely. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
What an adventure!!! It’s fun when you’re prepared and your equipment is built right 👍🇺🇸
That was some quality family time right there.... jus sayin.
Great video's part 1 & 2!!!! Learned one thing for sure - if a factory stock job says RUBICON on it - it won't cut it.
Its so awesome you guys are capable to do some repairs on the trail.
Thanks again for a great time. It was great living life vicariously through your videos on the Rubicon.
A very creative bunch ! I still like the hand/ goggle face shield
Yo Paul is a badass. I just now realized he’s doing all this in a manual transmission.
Thanks for sharing your trip I love That sound. The real sound of trailing!!!
Wow. What beautiful country. Thanks for letting me ride along. Larry fm Virginia
Hats off to you guys, so much beautiful scenery. It amazes me how you make the various runs over some very rugged terrain.. I totally enjoy watching it, but it is not for me.. After three years in Vietnam, my idea of camping is a Double Tree Inn or Courtyard by Marotte. Thanks for sharing your adventures..
That trail has really changed from the seventies. We use to fish at that lake all the time.Twice my friends and I went on the Jeepers Jamboree, seventy and seventy one. Really enjoyed your videos brought by good memories.
Thank you guys, for taking us along.
I love chip sealing. That means the weather is good and hot.
Matt's tires really are huge, but seem to be the thing for the trail - thanks for sharing - beautiful scenery
A long rig needs bigger tires or it'll highcenter on objects a short jeep can get over with smaller tires
I believe this is the roughest stuff I've seen you guys drive through I commend you
Such beautiful scenery. The life id love to live
**THESE VEHICLES ARE ABSOLUTELY ~~~>>>INCREDIBLE
You all made it over the rough and rocky trail! Funs over now back to work!
Matt was sending it over those boulders. The tacoma is like a little Billy goat
Rudy has the Rare Cherokee with the Ford power steering pump...🤣👍
some kind of chainsaw should be standard equipment on your rigs.
That creek scene, good times.
Great video. Fun trip. You did it. Be proud.
The taco is a beast, but that little XJ can hold its own!
LOL Michelle you do a good job editing these videos. Commenting this after the twilight edit.
By golly you all are having way to much fun. Always wanted to do that but my Dodge is way to big it would get wedged in those rocks for ever. Great video.
Beautiful trail, beautiful scenery, but definitely need a good rig to master that... that was challenging... 👍💪
Awesome trip! Love the family and friends content! ❤
If is still leaking you got some. > This actually makes perfect sense, I just can't wrap my head around it <
Thank you.
Damn Dave nd I rolled thru that a few years ago in a 1990 Jeep on 33's pure skill
Loving these Rubicon videos you guys have all been apart of.. ❤
Well done guy's & girl's that looks a cracking trail 👌🏼 makes me want another truck but don't have trails like that in the UK 👌🏼🤘🏻🤘🏻
You guys need to come out to the south east for some wheeling. All that stuff west of the Mississippi is god like traction.
Best camping investment whether you use it all the time or once a year, and Automatic Tent! Got one at the pawn shop, literally takes me, by myself, less than 5 minutes to put it up and take it back down... not 5 min up and 5 min down, 5 min total to do both. Biggest struggle is getting it back in the bag as the bag is designed with NO extra space.
It is a close battle between the Auto-tent and the DeWalt 20v Chainsaw.... I use the chainsaw more but the tent is such a time saver
Great video Paul & Michelle. The Taco did real well. Crazy road you guys drove.
16:05… yup, much of it was filmed in Vancouver. That’s what we wheel through up here in BC.
Great video y'all, thanks for taking us along with you.
2:31 perfect music choice.
Beautiful country. Well done all !!!. Great little series of vids, wicked fun to watch. Makes me want to get out. Cheers all.
I've lived around and been to the forests they showed in those movies, and it's not as dry as the forest you guys were in.
so beautiful there thank for the video
Definitely the twilight forest!!!
Look like lot of fun . We seen 3 bears in Virginia this past weekend
Paul is the true McGyver!
Man, that looks like it was a fun time!
Glad everyone survived the trip
You'r truck is a beast 💪✌ can't wait to see an update
Now that is what I call fun.
I broke the same part only on the back of the spring the fix was one come along and a chain to kept the axle in place drove good all the home from the sierra's to the bay area way, the spring shop was surprised cheaper then a towing job LOLOL
That's a "trail?" Hate to see what they'd call just cross-country!
Would have to say that I think that Paul's Toyota did the the trail with the least struggle that old girl can move not that I am bias because I was brought up with Holden's and Toyota's. Looks like a fricken good time out there.
I think Rudy made a deal with Paul to join his channel. After watching MORR I wanted to know how the Jeep faired. Thanks for covering it Fab Rats! Also awesome use of the trail welder. I was looking for the big box in the back then remembered you put one under the hood! Adds a great deal of options to drive hard!
Just placed an order. Go glad you have your dad's truck on a shirt. Love it so much. I seen you in that beautiful square on Matt's channel and I was hooked on fabrats. Funny shit
Paul cracks me up! 😂 tearing’ hell out everything and just as cool as a cucumber haha
No Michelle, never seen twilight 😂
That portable welder worked slick as heck…….. I’m gonna have to get me one of those bad boys😁👍
Looks like y’all had a great time! I love the Lake Tahoe area……. Beautiful and a bit different from good ole Utah Mountains
Those welders pay for themselves pretty fast if you figure the money you save limping home vs getting towed or hauled home
well done!!!! sure enjoyed this video!!!!!
I know this is from last year, but great Rubicon run. I have done it several times, and the saddest part for me is Observation point because for all intensive purpose that's the end.. i am always a little sad driving away from there. my background pic on my page is from the Rubicon.
Matt.ha . As cold as collecting decoys in steamboat springs in December
Looks like you are having a blast
Great stuff guys!
i swear rudy has the best unit its indestructanle
Looks like nothing major broke, and everyone had fun. I would enter for the trip but being handicapped w/10 screws and 2 rods in the back, no way in the world I would think about the give a way trip. Paul U should do a video about how to rock crawl with a manual trans.
Very cool!
That was fun, thanks!
Hiiii Paul and family !!! Paul I said " Paul = cut and weld " This time is more " BRAKE & FIX " so it was most entertaining but I didn't see others damages to there vehicles ...? The Morrvair is best in those trails -- tires are best big but very good ! Time you make yourself a copy of that tank !!!
Best and warm regards to you all great family Paul it's super all my best wishes for ever !!!
I like teamwork
Another great video!
1:52. Paul missed the most obligatory “THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID”
Enjoyed the ride Thanks!
Time to make Matt some Rock sliders and some skid plates
Looked like a great trip
Man that is a narly trail isn't it. But it looked fun I have never gone on any trails like that. Or like the trail back where you live.
Kicking rocks and spitting seeds it don’t get much better than that
Howdy!
How fun would it be to go out with this crew camping and wheeling.
I go through that all the time
Paul always has food or toothpicks in his squirrel cheaks. I would love to do this but my wife would be constantly complaining about every rock and the boy would be in the back playing on his switch saying he's bored.
I still think you guys are nuts!! LOL But that was beautiful country for sure!!!
I would like detailed information about your onboard welder in your truck. How it works and how it is hooked up I have never seen anything like it. Is it like welding with a battery?
Is the trail one-way? If not, how can two-way traffic work in busy season with all the time-consuming narrow passages?
It seems like you picked a good time to go; thanks for posting.
IDK if it's 2 way or not but around my area if 2 groups meet on level the group closest to a safe place to pull over does on a grade the uphill group has the right of way so they can keep their momentum there's no law just some trail etiquette the off road groups that take care of and clean and clear the trails came up with and since they kept the parks and trails open to the public they're pretty much in charge
we all feel your twilight pain Paul - lol
