Having the brothers united is clearly going to take the entertainment value of this channel to a new level. Ben’s the missing piece we didn’t know was missing!! 👍🏻
absolutely agreed, I hope we have Ben around for the rest of the fab rats career
Couldn't have said it better!
So true!
Enjoy seeing family work together with wife, kids, brothers and cousins.
You guys are very lucky, ive got a brother but we haven't talked in 16 years , we just do not get along, I'm not perfect of course but he is an extreme narcissist and really only cares about himself, always needs to be the center of attention, I won't use his real name but when we would have dinner at my mom's he would bring his girlfriend and it was always the Jim and Jane show, if you know what I mean then you know what I mean, he is the kind of guy that if you're not in the room then you are the person he is talking about ,then when you come in the room it's whoever leaves the room that's who he starts talking about, to him if you can make someone else look bad I think he thinks it makes him look better, I just couldn't stand it anymore he has been the same way since we were young kids and will probably never change, I am jealous of these guys having a brotherly relationship
Can we talk about the editing? The editing is FREAKING AWESOME! from the details to music, split screens, text. Just FAB!
all thanks to the super wife every good man deserves. thank you Mrs.FabRats we appreciate you more than you'll ever know
Always
Top notch editing!@! 👌
Holy cow what a noticeable change of energy in the shop with Ben around. This is awesome.
I like this new guy. The chemistry these guys have is so natural. Love Randalls humility too!!
Just imagine driving off-roading and having fun with your brother and your son. Best thing ever.
We are soooooooo happy that Michelle is ok!!! Thank the Lord!!
Yes God bless everyone!!!
Ben and Paul make a great team. There seems to be some of that "thats my brother" moments and good chemistry.
Thanks for entertaining.
Another successful repair, but not so good with Ben's hand, that was quite a whack with the hammer drill. 100 points again for Michelle, she's such a good sport!
The horn is a timing device, because, when you’re late for where you’re going, you lean on the horn to speed up the slow pokes ahead of you. So you can get there in time.
Love it
See Michelle...You were right...
I love listening to Paul and Ben giving each other the business. The entertainment value just climbed another notch!!
PALS,
It’s a good thang…
Been a mechanic all my life , know what it is like to not work on your own stuff till last! Keep up the good work and awesome videos!
The sarcasm that goes back and forth between Paul and Michelle is very special! Great job FabRats!
Happy to see Michelle is still doing good and naming parts again. Happy to see the crew doing well.
I've noticed the two stacks of lumber and I'm guessing it's for your new office addition. I'm ready to see that. Lots of good advice today, thanks.
Me too, I'd love to see a couple videos of the build progression of the new office too.
Me 3
you guys did not make the night wheeling event at AREA BFE wed night? did rorey have ya working?
talk about a dead ejs . detail Dan wanted to show u guys a good time!
@@jb3536 sorry didn't mean to reply to you
Seeing the brothers working together...I love it. I flinched a bit when that drill got angry, been there...Glad it wasn't broken.
Great family working together, joking around, driving skills, through in Michelle, and you have a winning recipe.
Well the fun factor has gone up a bunch with Paul’s brother in the shop. You guys rock!
Michelle might not be a parts expert, but she is a ninja (quoting Jim Halpert) at vid and music editing. Her work is just superior.
Steve Bowser Not only superior, but equally as important if not more so. If the video quality was sub par Not as many would stay with it.
My favorite “what’s that part? With Michelle.
Just absolutely love you guys
Our upbringing must have been similar. Her pink gloves are so cute. When Paul says “1 more Uga-duga” I spit my Mt dew. “I wanna torque something” -Michelle- went unnoticed.
I keep editing.
I wanted to say too that the way the community comes together at your shop- that’s what I grew up with there’s 3 family members with businesses at home like this. That’s the connection that I have with you guys. Much ❤️
Paul, that FJ is a serious machine. Good on you for hanging in there and gettin her right.
Days of Thunder! When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge you're out of control.
Michelle always seems to be good at everything! She is like a Master Mechanic!😂👍
They need a box full of Fab Rats shirts for her to use when she helps. Then she'll be unstoppable.
@@lupatwist2531 lol me too
@@lupatwist2531 yea, good ridance.
Who pissed in ur cheerios?
Michelle is great. Stop watching if you don’t like it. 👋
@@donkoltz1 Maybe a Fab Rats shop apron, just throw it on over whatever...
This show really cracks me up at times, so much like being a part of it all. Thanks guys and thanks Michelle. Now Ben knows why my old paws don't work so well any more.
Mr paul your a god sent we definitely need more ppl like you in this world. Such an expert in your craft. Also you and Michelle have such an amazing functioning marriage a connect only created once in a life time!! Hope to see plenty of videos of the FJ and that jeep from this weekend!
"You'll break bolts. You'll get used to it"
That should be on a Fab Rats shirt
We must be related. Every time I start a project I have to make at least 3 trips to the store before I get done. I enjoy watching and love Name that part with Michelle. If she would have looked closely at the horn, she would have figured it out by the shape of it.
The best fishing is in reality where you make the best stories an memories with your loved ones & get to eat your catch.
The best talks I’ve ever had with others is when we where fishing or sitting around a camp fire.
I just love how willing to be part of learning things and being part of the shop Michelle is, she gives me hope that my wife could be interested in shop work some day. Even if it’s just for short spurts between doing her own things!
Y'all make great info-tainment! Keeping it real with problems, mistakes and OOPS moments makes them fun to watch. Seeing your recovery plans in action show anything can be fixed. Thanks for the videos, Have a great day!
Oops moments make them human and relatable to the rest of us lol
I agree. Great channel warts and all.
Re: the Jeep: "It's licensed as a boat!"
He's going to fit right in, isn't he?
Michael M--Yeah he is!!
I noticed right away that he isn't afraid of a camera. Almost as if he has done this before.
Clearly Michele is the Beauty and Brains of this operation! The guys would be lost without her. Had to force myself to stop video to comment here. I got to admit I'm a huge fan of Michele! Lucky man for sure!
I love watching There videos so much! I have no problems none whatsoever with watching older ones. No matter how old they are. This was another one that was absolutely great!!!
It's great to have Ben in the shop, he fits right in. You two remind me of the song "brotherly love" . Hope his hands ok. Sorry bout you shirt Michelle. Love watching every episode, keep up the good work.
Paul you, your crew, your family are all so awesome! I love what you do. Keep it up I love watching you guys you always make my day better!
I always root for Michelle when comes to naming that part. Show them guys you know your stuff!!!!
Excellent ! Ben I thought you had broken that wrist! glad it is not as bad as that ! Thanks for joining!!
Great to see all the projects going through the shop! Hello from South Korea. Nice split screen editing too.
Already a great channel. Ben adds a new dimension. Keep it up. Love the family feel.
Pretty cool to see Paul's brother on the channel and to see how well they get along. I forget that most people speak to their family.
I love Paul and Ben working together. Awesome fun and video. Thanks for all the enjoyment you send our way
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Too funny! I just got my Dads old Yj delivered to me yesterday for my birthday. This YJ is inspirational I think I need to make mine bigger!! Been waiting about 25 years for this one to me mine lol.
Y’all are awesome! Love watching your videos!
Brother Ben is a nice addition to the already great atmosphere.
Michelle, handy hint from someone who's got graphite grease on a brand new workshirt: rub hand cleaner (I don't know the USA brands but Coma Manista, Swarfega or equivalent are UK brands) in to the grease mark before washing. Use plenty, let it stand for 10 minutes before washing it. Good luck.
Bens smile is priceless, you can see his happiness
Yes, an actual torque wrench! Lol.... your brother is a great addition to the crew.
Just when I think this channel can't get any better it gets even better! Stay safe and be blessed!
You've got yourself quite a character there, (Michelle)Ben is charming too. Thank you.
I think it’s adorable the way Paul flirts with Michelle. God bless y’all. Great episode.
Michelle always gets grilled on parts knowledge, she should do a quiz to see what paul know about editing
We can't forget about Randall he does a awesome job hope he's not going to ever go anywhere
"Loose is fast and on the verge of out of control", - Days of Thunder! One of my favorite movies, mostly becuz it is centered around my home town!
Paul and Ben make a great duo,nice to have Ben on board. Loved the "Michelle name that part" segment, she is such a happy person and always brings joy in the shop.
So nice to see brothers working together!
I don’t know but I’m thinking that with all the new help hanging around that Paul is going to either start expanding the shop or building a new one!!
It's already new, he's gonna expand for sure
did you see the pile of lumber out front and all the new dirt they brought in in the past episode. A new bend pack lift delivered in this one. Looks like the party is just getting started.
Don't feel bad Ben I tore all the ligaments in my wrist doing the same thing with a drill. I never max out the torque on drills anymore, and I use impacts for most everything as they are nicer on my wrists.
Hell Yea! Another YJ! I have a 94 YJ and love seeing them show up at meets, shows, and on TY channels like this! Long live the Squares!
**LOVE SEEING BEN WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH HIS BROTHER PAUL!!!**
**GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!**
Michelle, you make me smile with your parts segment, your answers are so close but not that far away. Keep on practicing and I'll keep on smiling, thanks.
Sorry Ben that's a painful injury hopefully you'll be back at it soon. Love the content keep up the great work 👍🔥🇺🇲
Did you stretch/tear something , or get a hairline fracture ? OUCH ! That did NOT look good 😲 😱 !
The new addition of your brother is awesome for the channel thank you guys and gals
Brother Ben is someone every family needs we have one spark of the family 😅🤣😂 hope yous get to enjoy each other's company as I do mine all the best to you all and all your loved ones
I love the progress you have made with the channel and the inclusion of family and friends. Michelle is learning a lot and is such a good sport.
Hope Ben’s wrist/hand is OK.
Love your team you assembled. Sharing the wins and loses with a team makes for a pleasurable work experience.
27:16 The pitman arm on the jeep is rubbing one of the hoses for the steering assist. Better fix that before it rubs through!
Yep I have wrong fittings will fix
Good to see Ben here! I know this old jeep. Drive past it every day at his shop. Good to see it getting some love:)
Love me some Fab Rats!!
Ohhh ya!!😊
I agree, Ben is a great addition. This family is very mechanically inclined. You should also bring in cousin Merlin occasionally. Really enjoyed it when you went to swap engines.
Hi Guy's here is a tip from an old fabricator .Its going to sound strange but it helps when opening holes out and stops wrist damage. You just need to grab a bit of fabric say 2 inches square and double thickness and place between drill bit and old hole and drill. The fabric tackes up the space behind the drill cutting edge and helps stopping the drill from grabbing, so give it a try and see how you go. All the best from down under.
It 's great to see you and your brother working together. Good job on his jeep. See you next vid.
Love you guys you are the best
You should have had Michelle pack the bearing the old school way 😀
That’s a cool little contraption.
I don’t work on vehicle nor do I have an off road vehicle and I reside in Northern California in a small town on the coast. I really enjoy watching your channel. Thanks for all the fun. I feel like I’m in the vehicle or room with you guys. Keep on Keepin on!! 💝💝💝
17:04, you only throw things away that you will need in two days after owning it for thirty years....
Nice video, enjoyed it very much.
Ben, I have repeatedly done the same thing to my wrists when drilling stout holes in metal. And as you know it will get you on the way in or the way out. Hope yours heals nicely.
I think Michelle really does know more, she just doesn't want to make you guys look bad. What a sweetheart!
Ben, most power tools come with a side handle. If Paul hasn't lost the one for that drill you should use it next time you need to drill an oversized hole with a hand drill. Beats tearing the ligaments in your hands to shreds trying to hold a few horse power and vicious torque with one hand. Glad to hear nothing was broken.
Regards from Canada's banana belt.🤞🇺🇦🕊️🇨🇦👍
I always thought the same thing about nascar lug nuts, until I saw them. The lug studs are about an inch or so longer than required. The part that extends does not have threads on it just a smooth rod that just fits through the nut. They use yellow weatherstrip glue and glue the lug nuts onto the wheel. When the wheel goes on the nuts are pushed off the wheel but stay on the smooth rod part that holds them straight.
😂 We love seeing Michelle in every video! She’s a breath of fresh air from the wrenching.. Don’t listen to haters you laugh all you want! And please, Keep playing name the part 😂✌🏻🇺🇸
Great trucks, good men and young men, beautiful women; your channel has it all. I'm loving it!!
At 2:00 or close Michelle is pretty much correct when she said it's a timing thingy. I use mine whenever I'm sitting at an intersection behind some person who is waiting for a different shade of green, on the traffic light.
Well, that triggered the ol' tears! I am overjoyed to see how well the brothers have recovered.
One of my favorite videos by you guys Ben's a great addition. Shop time with some off road time ++ Split screen edits are different and cool (🤔?)
Another good video. Way to rock them fancy gloves Michelle! Stay safe!
I am so sorry for Paul's brother 😣😟
I hope and pray for a good recovery on your hand/wrist
I remember yrs ago, hearing about guys getting their hands broken from using air ratchets
Michell, I think you did excellent,
I am glad you are doing good after that serious wreck,
I think someone was looking out for you.... 🙂☝
Old rancher once told me: "Cross threaded is as good as lock-tite."
He also said: "Well, missed the old threads, I'll just make new ones!"
Well can't wait to see what was on the delivery truck and great job on the jeep , poor Michelle sorry about you're shirt lol love what you all do
It’s a Bendpack lift.
Michelle is such a good sport. She routinely sacrifices her pride for content. She's obviously very secure. You go girl!!
Awesome video. I like the addition of brother Ben. You can tell Paul and Ben like working together. Nice to see Jace out wheeling also. 👍🏻
🙌. Ben is in the shop. And Gracie is this video too. 2 great additions.
The local hit it with a hammer guy. I need one of those!
Ben, I've had that happen myself. Good video guys keep up the good work. Almost makes me want an extreme trail rig.
I used to cut the foam inside the rc cars tires into a beveled gear shape so they could squish easier to grip and put a little handful of bb's in the tire with the foam to keep the center of gravity as low as possible.
Those little rc crawlers are a blast.
Just some knowledge. It takes more effort to start moving a tightened bolt than it does to keep one moving. Your supposed to loosen the bolt and retorque if it clicks instantly, without moving. Accurate torque is achieved during motion.
Love the channel. You guys are awesome.
Great vid, team. Speedy healing Ben.
Shop time with Michelle...always a great bit of content! 🤣🥰 Y'all continue to be awesome! 👍👍❤️
For the RC when you have the wheels apart get mag wheel weights an stick them to the wheel.Itn adds wheel weight less bounce more traction. We been useing that for rock raceing for a while. Un sprung weight.The big rigs looks awsome Paul.
For random grease spots on clothes: spot treat BEFORE washing with Dawn dish detergent.
Love watching your videos. I think it’s cool to see y’all working on stuff that’s not $1,000,000.00 for every part! Side note when you bought the 2 commandos I know 1 was Michelle’s but would you consider selling the other?
Will Smith is yesterday no body cares.
I care. Shows me how true man stands for dignity of his women.
Then you would be ok with your man getting changed with assault for your ego because he should be changed....
@@JasioClass77 haha no it doesn't, if you're at a comedy hall, and you sit in the front, and a comedian rips on you, you have no right to touch them.
That being said I WAS FAKE. ITS STAGGED AND IF YOU DON'T THINK IT WAS YOU NEED GLASSES.
@@JasioClass77 LOL
@@JasioClass77 LOL
17:40 If I'm not mistaken, centerlock wheels use a coarser thread pitch that allows for this because they're also used with fast drying adhesive/thread-locker applied to (what would be) the "lug nut". Even before this in the days of regular multi-lug design, teams have *always* used special studs made of super hard steel that can take *WAY* more of a beating than what you find on your vehicle - it's not uncommon whatsoever for your lugs to be toasted by the end of a race. I believe the lug nuts themselves were also tapped in a special manner that allowed them to engage more easily and greatly reduced the risk of cross-threading
Finejob of getting that load off the truck. My husband drove hilo for years and he was totally impressed by that!
