How cool must have been to get that call? "Hey brother I need your help making cool stuff in my garage for my fast growing RUclips channel" I love how they finish each other's sentences. I also love that I can throw this on in front of my young son and not have to worry about any sexual innuendos or foul language showing up randomly
You guys with your "Good ol Boy" attitude is so appealling. It is what makes this channel great. It's not work, it is an adventure and you and ben just get er done! Keep it up, love watching everything you fellas do.
That irrigation pipe repair reminded me of many repairs I've set out to do, that "should only take 30 minutes," then spend half a day pulling out every tool in my tool box, getting everything dirty, looking through the parts pile, and running to the hardware store 2 or 3 times before it's finally finished!
Little side gigs like the farming stuff helps keep the channel interesting. Never know what you're going to get when you click on a FabRats video. Loving it.
I've been there myself. And it's usually the same thing. I'll have a couple places I need to go and when I finished at the first place instead of heading to the next stop I'll be heading home and have to turn around. Or I'll be heading to town for something and instead of turning left out to the driveway to town, I'll turn right like I'm going to work.
That is the truth. That is one of the reasons I love this family/ families. They will drop everything to help their family in need. God bless them all. ❤️❤️👍👍🌟🌟🙏🙏❤️❤️
FWIW- I was taught when you glue pvc pipe that holds pressure, after they slip completely together, twist most of a quarter turn to eliminate any chance of a channel in the glue causing leakage… Small chance, but I see it taking just a moment.
@@trinidadscorpion3835 was wondering/hoping somebody would chime in on the 2-step process for PVC. 🤞👍 Had a buddy who called me to help with a bunch of PVC connections that failed and 1st question to him was exactly that; he never cleaned/primed the joints. Once we had they've remained since.

Really like your guy’s humor and your style of engineering, but what I really like and see is two brothers having fun , hard work yes but having a lot of bro-fun hanging out. Love the respect for grandma’s,and family, friends.
Lol, while I'm a big fan of that red hot blue glue, you still need to put primer on first! That's the most important step lol. Also, invest in a Lennox saw. That's the best saw for cutting PVC pipe
@@mikes.9755 I find em handy. To pay for college, I put together a lot of Agricultural sprinklers together. Center pivots, side rolls, subsurface drip. Had to cut a lot of PVC, and I always found that it would cut just as fast as a hacksaw and would remain sharp way longer. Now if Lennox would make Sawzall blades, I would definitely get those.

My dad always told me when I struggled with doing something… “first you gotta want to do it” basically if you don’t want to do it then you will find a reason you can’t do it and then it doesn’t get done .. your channel is a testament to that .. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm a little late to the comments but I wanted to tell you thank you for all of your hard work with the golden nugget! You your wife your kids are truly amazing
You got a lot of glue for that little job so I want to tell you how to keep it from drying out after opening. From doing plumbing work for many years this was finally figured out. Store the opened can upside down, lid on the bottom and bottom up, this will keep you from throwing the glue away in the very near future. I am not sure how long the glue will last by doing this because I use it lot but I know it works for at least two months.
This trick works with 2 liter bottles of soda as well after opening, set them on their side so the liquid covers the cap and they won't loose the fizz as fast.
As a painter I recommend this with gallon and quart cans of paint after they're opened. If there's any holes in the seal the paint will leak out and harden and seal itself. Put newspaper down if you care about them surface you're flipping it on.
come on guys he used glue on both sides there is no way there is any missing spots of glue or glue channels we never twist 90 degrees here we just use glue on biotrh sides

Your dad would be so proud of his 2 boys rebuilding his old dream! I like this channel alot and now that you brought your brother on for some comedy lol he is a fantastic add to this channel!! Great episode!
“Dosent look sketchy at all”, bahahaha spit my Coffey out. This could not be as good with any other family and the editing just puts it all together so comedically. It’s just soooo good 👍 😂
Guys!!! Hook a chain onto the front of the car and other end to the wheel lift, extend the wheel lift to pull the car off. And Ben is definitely a great addition.
It's all fabrication work. I appreciate all you guys. I do fab work on anything and everything too. We do it right cause we do it twice. (sometimes thrice lol)
I really appreciate that the remains of Michelle’s GMC were sent to the back acres, and NOT melted into milk jugs and rebar! Nice to see folks that think resourcefully, not wastefully. Can’t wait to see what Paul/Ben/the boys salvage from the Tahoe!!
Also… I’ll take that brown square body chassis off your hands-even without a rear axle or doors! 😉 My grandpa had one identical to it. Y’know, except running, with doors, etc. 👍🏻
YES MORE DERBY CAR ACTION WOOOOHOOOO !! I am ecstatic to hear that, p.s sorry you haven’t made it into Bristol’s drive list, keep at & you’ll be racing a Crown Vic or something lol at one of Cletus’s races.
Parts truck Gaaaa ! I have a good running gear for that beauty. We don't have anything up here in the land of taxes , NY in half of that good a shape. Good video.
Damn boy! Watching you hammer that pie cut for the frame, VERY NICE guys. I haven't been so invested into a channel since I came across ol' Cleetus 5 years ago. You probably done hear this enough. But these videos really help those who are dealing with some heavy shit in their life. When I have bad days, your videos always take my mind away and put me in a more positive place. Just wanted to say thanks to you and Ben.
You two reminds me of working with my older brother . It was always a great time . Learned a lot from him as did everyone . Enjoy as much as you can cause nothing lasts forever . Love watching you all in the garage, it takes me back to them times ...
You truly are farmers. Most people today would not have the right part and run into town to get the part. You, like a true farmer, just took what was there and made the right part. I grew up farming and learned the great value of bailing wire and a pair of plyers and just making do with what you got. I love your ingenuity.
oh i bet they have their disagreements but yes they seem like the type that will have a disagreemnet go cool off for a fewe minutes and then go back to work like it never happened and be their uusal cheery selves
Started reading through some of the comments. It's AMAZING how many people know how Paul & Ben should have done it better. But yet, here we are commenting and there Paul & Ben are getting it done.
Haha. Really enjoyed this one. Good to see it’s not only me that makes mistakes. The practical fabrication put in these projects is great to watch and inspiring.. Paul’s reasoning behind the use of the plasma or saws all is just an extension of the practical approach used to ‘get after’ the issues and solutions seen here today..love this channel!
That shifting a manual transmission and helping the driver from the passenger side! A long lost art! I've had friends back in the day that knew when I was a little busy with my hands that I could need a shift because I'm drinking a cup of coffee and they just did it instinctively and we had this silent cooperation going back and forth. It was really heartwarming to see you guys do that and not unexpected coming from the good brothers that you are! Yeah yeah, I know no big deal, but I got a kick out of it!! 😅🙂
Love the awesome shenanigans that the wrecker has brought along with it! Grandpa Sherman is definitely smiling knowing that y'all are having as much fun rebuilding this truck into the truck it was destined to become!
What a great family! You guys remind us that there are still wonderful people in this world and no matter what you are working on it's always fun to watch! God bless you all and keep you safe and well!
I hope I can be as good of a father, brother, husband, and friend as Paul one day. He is just a honest hard working man and I wish there was more like him around.
I’m a volunteer property steward at a kid’s summer camp in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. We have 4.5 miles of above ground waterlines and two wells. I have repaired a LOT PVC like that. We always use 2-part glue. The Purple Stuff (primer) then The Blue Stuff. Every spring Monday I go to work with really colorful hands. 🤣
Proof once again that we should always save old stuff because you never know when we're going to need it or parts of it. Great video, great work gentleman !
As a plumber watching a bunch of mechanics I love the channel because I always learn a little something and y’all make it entertaining. As a plumber watching a bunch of mechanics try to be plumbers I can’t say I’ve learned anything but it was much more entertaining. You guys are awesome
I'm glad you both agreed the rear bumper needs to go across the Back, LOL, It's horibible when you put the rear bumper on the Front,,, You guys are awesome!
Awesome video Paul!! She’s definitely coming together quite nicely and looking good also!! I’ve been working on my wrecker the last couple days also!! I put power steering in it with a hydro boost setup also!! I even rebuilt an old hydro boost setup so I didn’t have to spend what they wanted for a new one!! Now I just need to replace a couple front calipers since I found out that one is locked up and causing it to have the good old death wobble!!! At least I’m hope that is the cause of it!!! All the steering components seem to be ok for what I can tell!! I could turn the driver side tire by hand and the passenger side tire was definitely much harder to turn by hand!! And when I change both calipers I’ll end up going threw the front bearings and make sure that they are all in good shape!!! We both working on wreckers!!! And they are both square body trucks also!!! How awesome!!! Well remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!!
I chuckle when I watch you two . It brings back memories of working with my brother . We don't work much together anymore , I'm 61 he is 65 and if we had a channel we would have to tone ourselves down some but you two together bring back fond memories
This is gonna be such an awesome truck……..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m not a fabricator……and I don’t play one on tv. But, in addition to the boom , I would have expected y’all to pile all of the other intended equipment (or simulate the weight …of a full fuel tank, toolbox with tools, all those winches, etc.) prior to welding the spring hangers in place while calculating the desired ride height. 👍🏻
Want to thank you guys for great content, I love that Ben is there working full time with you. Great to see an american family business and having a "productive" fun time. I purchased some merch, keep the content coming. What you need now are Ben and Paul bobbleheads,LOL
Love the Channel came for the Golden Nugget, stayed for the rest of the content. but just wondering why you didn't go with square tube for the bumper and use it as a air tank?
You boys are a hoot. There isn’t a key switch on that shovel. I am impressed Paul knew how to start that thing. And I have opened more than one glue with a pipe wrench.
I'm curious about someth'n. When you're cutting the 45 deg. end piece, instead of cutting the whole piece off, why not leave the long side intact and hammer it over to close the end off? Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
Magnets and string help line things up. Need room for tacking then cut some 1” spacers for your string ends and measure a 1” gap at joint. Then don’t burn string. Put a strong side to side across joint location and then make an x with 2 more from furthest ends and see if your racked or tipped. Trucks coming along good!

You guy's are awesome Tow truck is going to be a beast, Michelle does an awesome job editing, running the business & doing mom stuff we appreciate all you do behind the scenes, thank's for sharing God bless ❤😉👍
Wow, a tiring couple of days, you can see that in the outtro, but, as always, success is a great motivator. Love Michelle's split-screen with the boom mounting too!
Well y’all made progress between the interruptions. No worries about minor mistakes. It’s easy to do when jumping back and forth with interruptions. But hay it’s only steel easy to recut reweld Only you and your viewers will know the history of the build when it’s finished 👍👍👍
My trick on opening those glue cans is to put a hose clamp on the lid. That gives a good grip and a bump to index a wrench without crushing the lid. I leave the clamp on and it helps with opening and closing by hand.
Ben is a great addition to this channel. He has a great personality and I get his humor.
Pppp00
Yeah Ben fits in like a e glove

Michelle's editing is top notch. 👌 so many details that just make a great episode.

Hope you guys had a good vacation.Ben did a good job,his family was awesome.
@Knurled KnuckleHis family? All of them.
@Knurled Knuckle I think he is Matt's cousin.
@Knurled Knuckle did you not watch the episode where Ben was in the shop alone with his wife and kids? That's his family, that's who he's related to.
@Knurled Knuckle To put it bluntly, he is Paul's brother, plain and simple. In Friday's video, he has his family with him while Paul was on vacation.
@Knurled Knuckle Might have been simpler to explain if you had specified who "he" was you were referring to.
Thank you for that I always thought I was the only one to forget where I was going and had to turn around, yeah we are all human.

STORE/ keep the unused glue in a refrigerator for long life after tightening as tight as possible with strong hands….
Love how family always comes first. Must be nice having your brother and others all helping each other out. Good video while you were on vacation.
Just an FYI when you glue PVC you should twist it about 90 degrees as you push it together. It prevents missing glue traces.
You should also use cleaner with glue which prep the pipe for the glue
Stop... please stop. My guess is this isn't within the first 1000 glued pvc joints Paul has assembled.

This is gonna be such an awesome truck……..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m not a fabricator……and I don’t play one on tv. But, in addition to the boom , I would have expected y’all to pile all of the other intended equipment (or simulate the weight …of a full fuel tank, toolbox with tools, all those winches, etc.) prior to welding the spring hangers in place while calculating the desired ride height. 👍🏻
Want to thank you guys for great content, I love that Ben is there working full time with you. Great to see an american family business and having a "productive" fun time. I purchased some merch, keep the content coming. What you need now are Ben and Paul bobbleheads,LOL
Love the Channel came for the Golden Nugget, stayed for the rest of the content. but just wondering why you didn't go with square tube for the bumper and use it as a air tank?
Ben is awesome keep him on the channel, he's the comedian on the channel. Keep up the good work! You all got to beat Matt!
Good morning how’s that roll cage coming in the FJ? 🍻🇺🇸🤙🏻
You boys are a hoot. There isn’t a key switch on that shovel. I am impressed Paul knew how to start that thing. And I have opened more than one glue with a pipe wrench.
I'm curious about someth'n. When you're cutting the 45 deg. end piece, instead of cutting the whole piece off, why not leave the long side intact and hammer it over to close the end off? Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
Those snags are what give you the best stories to tell later on.
My John Deere Vice is much older than yours still runs and works good though
Magnets and string help line things up. Need room for tacking then cut some 1” spacers for your string ends and measure a 1” gap at joint. Then don’t burn string. Put a strong side to side across joint location and then make an x with 2 more from furthest ends and see if your racked or tipped. Trucks coming along good!
Good morning Gentlemen
and ladies
@@JanelleVocate-Ames my Sincerest Apologies Ma’am, absolutely a Good Morning Ladies & Gentlemen. Lord I hope Mother doesn’t catch Wind of this, She Would be so Disappointed in Me. God Bless Ma’am
Grew up in Iowa farm shops. No better place to be. Sure do appreciate you letting me hang around in your shop through these videos.
👍
Good to see family working together.
Man I’m early good morning
top 10!
2nd the best!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who hits risers with his tractor.
90% of all PVC pipe joint failure is due to the non use of primer.
He used Blue Lava. No primer needed.
@@KJ-kw7gh Actually he used Christy's Red Hot Blue Glue and they recommend using primer on 4" and larger pipe
I love the 'good ole boy, farmer fix it' approach. You guys are the best, keep up the good work!

Farming is part of life my parents had horses so when I was a kid I used to help my dad make hay for our horses at 105 degrees in the summer time

So that’s where the fab comes in! All farmers are great problem solvers and fabricoblers.
You guy's are awesome Tow truck is going to be a beast, Michelle does an awesome job editing, running the business & doing mom stuff we appreciate all you do behind the scenes, thank's for sharing God bless ❤😉👍
My dad hacksawed a Studebaker frame in two to make a farm trailer out of the truck bed in about 1958ish. Good O'l days of farmin.
Wow, a tiring couple of days, you can see that in the outtro, but, as always, success is a great motivator. Love Michelle's split-screen with the boom mounting too!
Well y’all made progress between the interruptions. No worries about minor mistakes. It’s easy to do when jumping back and forth with interruptions. But hay it’s only steel easy to recut reweld Only you and your viewers will know the history of the build when it’s finished 👍👍👍
I’m ready for hour long episodes on tow truck day, ya just can’t beat it
My trick on opening those glue cans is to put a hose clamp on the lid. That gives a good grip and a bump to index a wrench without crushing the lid. I leave the clamp on and it helps with opening and closing by hand.
Tip of the day! When out in the field can't open the lid, use your shoestring.
