Glad you like the quilt. I was thinking wall hanging not baby blanket. Got your back on that Michelle. Just like the tow truck, FJ, rollback and Willys, it’s a one of a kind!
Quilting is a lost art for many. My mom was taught by her mother. My sister's, all professional women, learned how to do it from mom and Grandma. They don't quilt as a past time but know how to do it and appreciate the hard work that goes into it. I have a quilt my mom was putting together before she passed. I need to find someone local to me to finish it. Everything in a tub just needs sewed and padded right.
Quilting, looming, embroidering, clothes making, and knitting are all becoming lost arts... used to hang out with my grandma and great grandma and be in awe of some of some of the things they created with their hands! I learned from them how to cook, bake, and make confectioneries...
I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE THE REAL DEAL, I have visited and seen 1st hand this is the BEST off road channel on you tube. I am proud that I had the opportunity to meet them. Semper Fi.
@@williamuskoski1385, don't know much about tweakers do you? They don't care about property lines. Good thing about tweakers, if they end up missing, no one is looking for them.
My Suburban has the 4L80E factory and it's about the only thing in the rig that hasn't needed attention over the last 12 years. Besides filters and fluid changes.
I, myself, have enjoyed this channel for a long time. Great story, great family and especially the spicey girl, grandma Lolly. Tom has been the hands, arms, back and mind that Paul couldn’t grow. Tom is a plus for all. Wish all of you the best.
My Mom had an 'Employee of the Month' T-shirt she used to wear at the small RV park she owned. Shewould get congratulations on a regular basis. She also had no employees. 😂
Marianne you are so generous and talented! I see how much you love Paul and Michelle. Great work on the quilt. Most peeps won't know how much time and energy you put into it. YOU ARE AWESOME!
Two things that never fail for fabrats: an awesome video and transmission problems. Glad you were able to stitch it up. Id like to see or know your technique for welding cast aluminum. Ive noticed that you never hesitate when the situation comes along but i also know its not easy. The guys ive watched videos welding aluminum, act like its the worst thing ever with all the trash. But this is probably the first time I've seen you gwt frustrated with it. Idk i also understand if you don't want to catch flak for doing it your own way. See y'all Wednesday. Thanks Michelle.
I think Tom's dedication to the cause is obvious. I want to see an episode where Paul builds Tom an awesome offroad truck/recovery vehicle and surprises him with it. Come on Paul, make it happen...
Paul your dad would love to see how much you have done to his old homemade tow truck. Keep up the amazing work I have 4 son's and I love to see how the love of vehicles brings your family together.
Grandma seems to be running through her milage intervals quite fast..... She's got a FabRats sticker on her back window; that's the love of a mother right there.... your No.1 fan...✌️✌️🇰🇪🇰🇪
I think Maryanna should be knocking those mini quilts out and sending them to grandma to sell and given 85% for the time and material. Im sure there are tons of folks out there that want one of those right now.
Paul, I'd just store the drivelines with the transfer case, so that you've all-of-them to-go in case something happens to the new one. Won't leave you waiting for weeks. So order new ones from Adams and be done with that problem.
17:40 .. What I do is make a custom dipstick, that goes through the floor ... right above the spot it attached to the transmission :) Makes it easier to check the fluid level too.
The comments from grandma reminded me of a story from years ago. My sister was a real estate agent in Memphis and had done pretty good for herself. One of the first things she bought for herself was a new Lexus SUV. When she was visiting our mother in Florida my mom remarked how my sister was doing well enough that she could soon buy herself a new Cadillac. Mom had no idea what a Lexus was or how much they cost. 😅😅😅😅
ok Paul you may as well install some rear steer in the rat rod wrecker. it is in the shop after all. and it won't take too long. you KNOW you want to do it .
So close yet so far! Good recovery on the broken bell housing. To bad the drive lines have to be shortened, but worth it to get the overdrive! Can't wait to see the next video!
Paul, another day another Tow Truck upgrade! Congrats to you and the crew including Michelle who classes up the joint when she's around! Gotta get Grandma's Lexus in sooner, that oil was past its sell by date!
Funny seeing this video pop up this morning - I rewatched the Sep 29, 2023 video last night showing what a BEAST the wrecker is! Looking forward to watching this one in full tonight.
Tom does what has to be done, not a procrastinator or woosie like everyone else that depends on everyone else to do the job. Congrats to Tom. Old school, getter done.
I believe you need the cover on the bottom of the Trans under the tourqe converter. That helps brace the bell housing and prevent cracking. Most likely got left off before and that caused the cracks
My dad was a master tech for 45 years and he always had volleyball knee pads on so he could comfortably kneel on concrete and other things while working on things . Love the videos guys. This shop is amazing
I have used my hockey pads when I had to mark a few hundred points on the metal roof for the bolts . But you can wear them volleyball pads all the time ✓
Make sure Grandma Loli's Lexus has the revised oil cooler line, it's a Toyota 2GR-FE killer. Just the night before this video posted my son came home from work and said someone oiled down his parking lot at work. The driver left an oil trail entering and existing the lot and his only purchase was 2 quarts of oil. The vehicle was a Lexus SUV.
Always enjoying your content. I got one suggestion, maybe it's no big deal but old school welding up cracks we drill out the ends of the cracks to help stop the spread then welder up. Just a suggestion.
I love watching your videos and your family is very special and everytime i watch your videos i consider your family part of my family too and i learn alot from your videos
Paul you have to add filler rod when welding aluminum. It will shrink crack if you don't. If I was welding that I would be shoving as much rod as I could get in there. It cleans the garbage out of the cast and makes it much stronger.
Make sure gramma Loly does regular synthetic transmission fluid changes and it will last forever from my experience! We have over 300,000 on the original transmission on ours and it shifts perfectly!
Glad you like the quilt. I was thinking wall hanging not baby blanket. Got your back on that Michelle.
Just like the tow truck, FJ, rollback and Willys, it’s a one of a kind!
Beautiful quilt
The quest bedroom would not be a bad place? if it does not make it to a wall.
The quilt made it to the announcement couch it's on the back of the couch seen it in an announcement video
Thank you, Marianne! The details in this are incredible! You are very talented!
That was sweat of you to make that for them
Marianne did awesome with that quilt. So much talent from my hometown hidden in those hills.

Put that quilt away and give to landon or jace when they have their first kids, perfect baby blanket.
Marianne did a Phenomenal job on that Quilt, great looking Piece
Grandma lollipop is a firecracker!
Don't worry about the haters! We love the family fun! Keep that fancy toyota running good!
I have a Lexus es350 with the same motor as "Grandma's" Lexus, and it has 405,000 miles on it and is still going strong as my daily driver!
"It's a toyota" close, but it's a toyota on steroids
it's still running cuz it's not usdm
@@geneortiz6334 it wasn’t made in Mexico either!
Tom is a go getter good to have him on your team❤
How come Tom never seems to rep the Rats merch?
In case nobody else has mentioned it.Reminder put the full doors on the wrecker! 😂
Tom certainly seems like a good guy to have around the shop. Everyone needs a guy around the shop, so you might as well have a good one.
I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE THE REAL DEAL, I have visited and seen 1st hand this is the BEST off road channel on you tube. I am proud that I had the opportunity to meet them. Semper Fi.
It is always great to see Michelle in a video! I always think of her as Paul’s cheerleader.
I admire y’all’s freewheeling attitude- it’s oh well, well just work with what we have. Nothing is ever easy.
Just a suggestion paul leave a toolbox in the graveyard, in one of the junk vehicles, so you'll always have tools
I was about to leave the same comment, leave some old tools in one of the wrecks in the junkyard 😂🤣
Great, until some tweaker finds it.
@@wtbman🤣🤣🤣 on his own property?
@@williamuskoski1385 the concept of trespassing is not new
@@williamuskoski1385, don't know much about tweakers do you?
They don't care about property lines.
Good thing about tweakers, if they end up missing, no one is looking for them.
Paul finally gets a transmission that works so there's only one thing left. Change it out for a different transmission.
Nice work Tom and Coop! You're both an awesome addition to the Fab Rats family!
I LOVE the quilt and the job getting the wrecker upgraded.
The 4L80 Transmission is a beast. I'm glad you decided to put one in the Wrecker.
My Suburban has the 4L80E factory and it's about the only thing in the rig that hasn't needed attention over the last 12 years. Besides filters and fluid changes.
Feet hanging over up on a lift is my style. But when tom said he had to take his ring off, was another kind of commitment. Good on ya bud..
I, myself, have enjoyed this channel for a long time. Great story, great family and especially the spicey girl, grandma Lolly. Tom has been the hands, arms, back and mind that Paul couldn’t grow. Tom is a plus for all. Wish all of you the best.
Shout out to Maryann for her amazing quilt!!
Tom should be "Employee of the month" for his jumping in and doing the dirty jobs.
My Mom had an 'Employee of the Month' T-shirt she used to wear at the small RV park she owned. Shewould get congratulations on a regular basis. She also had no employees. 😂
That was so nice of that lady to make that quilt for you guys👍
You got a beautiful shop there Paul
✊🇺🇸
You have some seriously loyal and loving fans.... The hand made fab rats blanket is proof...
We agree!
I think that quilt would look good in the new shop on the wall or in Michelle office. That was beautiful
Tom rocks. Marianne does amazing work. My wife quilts and nothing is easy about it. Rat rod wrecker is pretty cool too.
True love there Paul says he loves beautiful and looks directly at Michelle
Marianne you are so generous and talented! I see how much you love Paul and Michelle. Great work on the quilt. Most peeps won't know how much time and energy you put into it. YOU ARE AWESOME!
Christine says 👍👍 for the Fab Rats quilt. Especially since she loves to quilt.
Thank you Paul and crew for update on the Rat Rod Wrecker !

When Tom was on the engine compartment with his legs out, it looked funny because it looked like the truck was eating Tom.
love that the trans is going to have to be pulled again.... to replace the bell housing. You never see all the cracks.
Paul you are a lucky man. The team is great and your wife is a fine lady.
Cut that bell housing off and get one of the many SFI bolt on replacements. A few of us run them on our crawlers. Way better alternative
Awesome quilt, Marianne! RRW is such a cool build. Nice to see it get some upgrades!
That quilt is epic!
Marianne that little quilt is so awesome I would buy one from you. You have some serious Talent
I always look forward to Sunday mornings with Fabrats and a cup of coffee!!
From Orting,WA
I think Tom's dedication to the cause is obvious. I want to see an episode where Paul builds Tom an awesome offroad truck/recovery vehicle and surprises him with it. Come on Paul, make it happen...
Things to come- Wrecker Games!
Paul your dad would love to see how much you have done to his old homemade tow truck. Keep up the amazing work I have 4 son's and I love to see how the love of vehicles brings your family together.
“And while you’re at it put doors on the truck!” 😅
Wish I was more like you. When it comes to drive and getting stuff done.
Paul, Grandma looks good in the Cadillac! I'm still waiting for you to finish Michelle's cute resto-mod Jeepster.
Grandma seems to be running through her milage intervals quite fast..... She's got a FabRats sticker on her back window; that's the love of a mother right there.... your No.1 fan...✌️✌️🇰🇪🇰🇪
As Paul always says, they live in the middle of nowhere. She's racking up those country miles just going the Archie's.
Everything I build gets a GPS speedometer. I don’t have to worry about gears, tire size and such. Good stuff guys.
Not reliable tho. Gadgets are crap.
I have to disagree Jack. If they were junk, I wouldn’t use them.
You all tried, and you can't always win. The teamwork is epic! It will make it on the next video! Thank you for trying and sharing. ❤😊
Just when you think the tow truck can't get any better, along comes an upgrade. Just an awesome rig, well done Paul.
That quilts is amazing. She does beautiful work.
While you have the Two Truck in the shop, Don't forget to put the winter doors back on. Still some cold weather ahead!!!🥶
I think Maryanna should be knocking those mini quilts out and sending them to grandma to sell and given 85% for the time and material. Im sure there are tons of folks out there that want one of those right now.
Man I love that Offroad Wrecker!
I like Coop, he's good for the channel
Paul, I'd just store the drivelines with the transfer case, so that you've all-of-them to-go in case something happens to the new one. Won't leave you waiting for weeks. So order new ones from Adams and be done with that problem.
One more time with transmission and transfer case. Maybe the last one for a while. Good job guys on what you got done this time.
Mornin' y'all! Hope everyone enjoys the day & God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
17:40 .. What I do is make a custom dipstick, that goes through the floor ... right above the spot it attached to the transmission :) Makes it easier to check the fluid level too.
I love grandma's attitude and grammar. She a keeper.
Ya know its cool, when wife, mom, family(and pets!) are in the shop....
That quilt is a blue ribbon winner at the county fair for sure. Those are mad skills.
same thought. great quilt.
The comments from grandma reminded me of a story from years ago.

Yea! Thanks for using safety glasses!
ok Paul you may as well install some rear steer in the rat rod wrecker. it is in the shop after all. and it won't take too long. you KNOW you want to do it .
Good morning I am glad to see the Tow truck getting some much needed tlc to get back to 100 percent
Super cool quilt. I’ve watched my wife make bed quilts, that’s a ton of time it that piece.
Oh crud , really, a broke bell. Nice recovery Paul.
So close yet so far! Good recovery on the broken bell housing. To bad the drive lines have to be shortened, but worth it to get the overdrive! Can't wait to see the next video!
25:00 Coop, what you just witnessed is good ol’ Dad strength. Misunderstood by many, Underestimated by many more. 💪 💪 💪
Yessir is it really 🤔 a fad rats episode with out a transmission problem 🤨 💯🏁🔥
4:40 man I've always loved tha way that dadgone thing sounds man!
Paul, another day another Tow Truck upgrade! Congrats to you and the crew including Michelle who classes up the joint when she's around! Gotta get Grandma's Lexus in sooner, that oil was past its sell by date!
Maybe getting the Rat Wrecker sweet for Matts Off Road games🤔🤔. Be good to see you guys together again,😃😃
Well it's good to say that they old tow truck is getting back together I love that 55 Chevy That's one awesome car
Great job, guys!! You've done a ton of work on the wrecker today!! Even got Grandma's car serviced!! LOL!!
Funny seeing this video pop up this morning - I rewatched the Sep 29, 2023 video last night showing what a BEAST the wrecker is! Looking forward to watching this one in full tonight.
Jon at JB Fab is awesome! Thanks for all the support for the offroad community (and those of us with early Broncos)
Putting an edit of Paul putting in the dip stick would have been funny 😂
Tom does what has to be done, not a procrastinator or woosie like everyone else that depends on everyone else to do the job. Congrats to Tom. Old school, getter done.
I gotta say, Cooper is an excellent addition. Smart as a whip and whitty enough to keep up with the guys while staying respectful.
4:31 Yesssssssss! Lets go! Lets win those Wrecker Games 2025
Granny is burning up the roads, nice!
I believe you need the cover on the bottom of the Trans under the tourqe converter. That helps brace the bell housing and prevent cracking. Most likely got left off before and that caused the cracks
GrandMa is the best horse in the stable 😄
My dad was a master tech for 45 years and he always had volleyball knee pads on so he could comfortably kneel on concrete and other things while working on things .
Love the videos guys. This shop is amazing
I have used my hockey pads when I had to mark a few hundred points on the metal roof for the bolts . But you can wear them volleyball pads all the time ✓
Yessir I got the biggest most comfortable knee pads I used to think they were goofy but it’s not nearly as goofy as destroying your body 😂
My cat loves tuna, any other irrelevant facts you want to share?
@ poor baby doesn’t like sharing information 😆🍺
And dont forget to PUT THE DOORS ON!!!!
Well ,I seem to love that southern Utah cool weather,and that sky at night,best ever! May the Lord bless you all.bro.devo.
Keep up with the good work Paul and team love watching your videos on RUclips God bless
We like seeing Mitchelle in the shop.

They are notorious for bad transmissions too.

good progress! Such fun on these swaps but y'all got it under control.
Good morning everyone 🤙🏻😎
Good Morning
I have to say Tom is handy to have around. I hope he decides to stay around and yall decide to keep him. Good vibes, at least from my point of view. 😂
Good team work. I’m glad I’m not the only one that takes all the tools but the one I need.
Nice video ! Thanks for sharing !
You need to sand all the old broken down clear on Gramas headlamps and reclear them. They will make it look new
Solid move on Cooper stepping up to the plate with a 4x4 and No digits lost in the process 👌 got no spares
Make sure gramma Loly does regular synthetic transmission fluid changes and it will last forever from my experience! We have over 300,000 on the original transmission on ours and it shifts perfectly!
You might eventually get the towtruck sorted and that would be a good thing.
