Paul I so envy the fact that you just showed at least 3 generations in a room and all having the ability to teach, show or learn how to work with there hands
I think it is "How many times are you planning to survive the roll" vs "How many times are you planning on rolling". I think he plans to roll all the way down. Unless Matt pulls the banana in the way to stop him!
@@jakep5121 I have no doubt that you're correct about that, and most of this cage does serve a genuine purpose in a worst case scenario. but things like those 2 extra angles behind the front seats and a lot of what's on the roof are superfluous. I would say redundancy is the only purpose for a lot of them.
Looks like the Corvair is gonna be finished first. I like the way the rigs look now while they are being built. I like the way this Jeep looks right now. Should be fun.
Matt had a vid this morning and now you do. If the Essential Craftsman had one today it would be near perfect! And today is my week I don’t go to church. Thanks Paul!
All three channels you just mentioned are also my three favorites. I could listen to Scott from Essential Craftsman all day every day. Dude has such a vast array of knowledge and explains it absolutely perfectly.
Great work as usual Paul. Most likely shift linkages are lose? Possibly a broken pivot bolt. You've inspired me to start a channel showing how I repair and restore old welding machines.
That hole saw jig is _awesome!_ Also, good for him. You can't beat a $2⁰⁰ truck. I miss my first ever truck! I wish I still had it 13:56 Your oldest is a mirror image of you btw.
When you build a roll cage that you can drop a building on...that’s Fab Rats! Probably could also double as a kid’s jungle gym! Will be sad time to see Papa Dar’s jeep not in the shop, but can’t wait to see it flexing on the trail!
Your work is so awesome Paul , that's one heck of a roll cage you built there sir . You have done a amazing job on Papa Dars Jeep . Looking forward to your next video sir. Until next time take care and be safe.
The cage looks awesome. You have to include a bar behind the front seats that goes from behind drivers head to behind passenger seat. Then a bar straight across between the B pillar bars. You can also do a complete X behind the front seats. These bars will stop the cage from collapsing if rolled over. Look at any race car and you will see what I am talking about.
Hay fab rats, like watching you all on you tube, have small shop out side caldwell, idaho- sandhollow. See you using wd-40 alot, I use to myself. Now use a product called free all, really like it. So sending you two cans to try.
Now if you sheet that beautiful cage if papa rolls it over on snow he will slide all the way home. Really that’s the nicest cage I’ve ever seen great job. I still think Ramcharger orange white top. Love the looks of it.
I wish Paul had an ironworker too! (also while we're wishing, I'll take one for myself as well 😉) let's hope someone in upper management from one of those big name manufacturers becomes a fan of the channel 😄👍
Wow, 2 videos dropped about the same time, Matt's and Fab Rats! Fab Rats won the which to watch first! We can see the satisfaction that Dar and Paul have with the completion of this build coming to a conclusion.
My only cage building experience is for race cars so I guess you're doing it right for a rock truck. I watched both you and Matt end your cage half way down the B pillar in front and on top of the wheel wells on the back. With all that effort to build in triangulation and stuff, why do you not tie the cage tubes into the frame?
Two schools of thought for recreational wheeling rigs. You already know the benefits of running the cage to frame stand offs. And the increased noise and vibration solid mounting the body to do that causes. Sandwiching the floorboard with big hunks of plate is adequate for most low speed rollovers a wheeling rig would see, but you don’t get the negatives of a frame mounted cage. You’re building the body into a self contained unit, that in theory would hold up to a roll over even if the body separated from the chassis. Low speed rock crawlers don’t need nearly the strength that a nascar cage or a ultra4 4400 car would need. I do see a lot of unnecessary tubing used in this cage, and would much rather see x bracing being used in all the large spans instead of the corner gussets. It will fold up if impacted on one of the long straight spans, such as the c pillar, but for their intended usage it should hold up fine. It will crush, but only so far before it stops. And it only needs to work once.
Hey Paul, in the refinery with welders, there are always Fire Watch personnel around any welding job sites. That might be something to consider, after Land caught that one. Not bagging on ya, but like Mrs. Michelle with the eye and hearing protection, we just want you to see and hear in a few years.
Judging by the amount of reinforcements in the cage, PapaDar must like that skinny pedal even with a tire off the ground lol This is some cool content. makes me want to throw money at a garage and learn to fabricate the correct way
Hay your son got a good pickup . My good friend has one roughly same year but extended cab. 4 cyl It has just barely under 500,000 on it . On original engine , on its 2nd trans
I see those poison spyder A pillars I was wondering why you didn't get full LJ cage from them but them I can see what you are doing I worked for psc for six years and fab rat has some cool ideas
That's a pretty stout roll cage! I've seen the places you go and expect that with all that weight on top, it will get put to the test at some point. Papa Dar might want to invest in a stout harness and some limb restraints!
Cool roll cage set-up, the blue Nissan pick-up is cool. I have a 94 Nissan Altima SE with the 5-speed manual transmission. Mines had the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine which it shared with the Nissan pick-up during that time and the engine lasted me a lil over 465,000 miles so I know the 2.4L engines were well made, I retired the car and put it up on cement blocks and the dogs use it as a shade during the summer months lol 👍🇺🇸..
Nice job on the cage build Paul , probly went through a spool of wire just about Ha !! This summers gonna have some outstanding off road trips I can feel it !! Papa Dar's got himself a machine !!
This is a roll cage from a rock crawlers perspective, don't want anything coming in from the top to hit you in the cabbage, Paul you built 3 things in one , the coolest roll cage , a kids jungle gym and a platform for papa Cars rooftop tent which someone out there can send to him as a sponsor , 👍 Sunday mornings just don't get much better , A Corvair video and Fab Rats video
so help you on building roll bars use your shop floor mask it out start with the main hoop behind the seat then build from there make your cage lot easier to figure out, us masking tape on the floor to lay it out
Paul, You and Matt should build a 24 hour of Lemons Car. It's a racing series where the total value of the car can't exceed $500. Looks up their videos on here they're a hoot. With your your and Matt's building and mechanical skill's you'd do awesome.
Way to make fabrication look easy. I’m not sure many of your subscribers know how much work it is. Nice job! Rock crawling only needs 1st gear, you’re good.
Hiya all, Now, I have a problem watching you fabbing up stuff, being an ex engineer (no not a train driver but making stuff that flies) I can watch you all day fabbing stuff and thinking it through as you go, rather than just watching and saying - OHH hes so clever, yes you are good, but Im not saying that lol.. Clever people working with metal to me Is an art form, I done stuff making things from Hi Tech metals and alloys for years, it was my job, I enjoyed it, but I too come from motor sport on the Ovals so made things that worked well also/ well retired from both, but, just love watching you work making art forms Into functionality (ohh thats a big word).. All I can say Is keep up the good work.. So Ill keep watching it all happen.. Thanks for the video - Ian - UK.

I got my gray hat just in time for the snow to melt. Up here in MN
Awesome!! Hope you love it!!
from a covair burnout to a jeep cage. what a great Sunday morning
agreed! couldn't havr asked for a better morning llineup
My thoughts exactly
Lol right there with ya
lol same
That's damn near an external frame!
Paul I so envy the fact that you just showed at least 3 generations in a room and all having the ability to teach, show or learn how to work with there hands
How many times you planning on rolling that thing? That’s a lot of tube lol.
I think it is "How many times are you planning to survive the roll" vs "How many times are you planning on rolling". I think he plans to roll all the way down. Unless Matt pulls the banana in the way to stop him!
There's a lot of weight in the drivetrain so if it lands upside-down it won't crush. Worst case survival.
Years of welding and wheeling says this man knows what he's doin.
@@jakep5121 I have no doubt that you're correct about that, and most of this cage does serve a genuine purpose in a worst case scenario. but things like those 2 extra angles behind the front seats and a lot of what's on the roof are superfluous. I would say redundancy is the only purpose for a lot of them.
I'd weld the crap out of it to if my Dad was in it.
When you said a roll cage...you meant a ROLL CAGE! Ol’e Papa Dar must take his “ having fun “ seriously!
The jeep is really coming together, love the show. can't wait to see the jeep up against the corvair lol
Looks like the Corvair is gonna be finished first. I like the way the rigs look now while they are being built. I like the way this Jeep looks right now. Should be fun.
love watching, these folks feel like family, thanks for taking the time to make it all, keep up the good work
Matt had a vid this morning and now you do. If the Essential Craftsman had one today it would be near perfect! And today is my week I don’t go to church. Thanks Paul!
All three channels you just mentioned are also my three favorites. I could listen to Scott from Essential Craftsman all day every day. Dude has such a vast array of knowledge and explains it absolutely perfectly.
The true test of any good crawler. "Grandma's ditch!"
Make sure you weld a d ring on the cage for Papa Dars hammock after a long day wheeling 👍💪
I wanna see the shake down run with Dar's jeep and the Corvair!
Great looking $2 truck. Can't beat that. And great progress on they Jeep.
Love to see a father son team. Me & my dad do things like that together. He tought me all my metal working skills and lots more. Nice cage man!
The jeep is looking good. Can’t wait for the Willys build to start.
🤣 First words heard " Dad we got a 🔥"... welding, grinding and an occasional fire ... lol... garage life! 💖💪👍
Great work as usual Paul. Most likely shift linkages are lose? Possibly a broken pivot bolt. You've inspired me to start a channel showing how I repair and restore old welding machines.
That hole saw jig is _awesome!_
Also, good for him. You can't beat a $2⁰⁰ truck.
I miss my first ever truck! I wish I still had it
13:56
Your oldest is a mirror image of you btw.
There's nothing more gratifying than building your own stuff, from scratch. Lucky.
When you build a roll cage that you can drop a building on...that’s Fab Rats! Probably could also double as a kid’s jungle gym! Will be sad time to see Papa Dar’s jeep not in the shop, but can’t wait to see it flexing on the trail!
😀
Your work is so awesome Paul , that's one heck of a roll cage you built there sir . You have done a amazing job on Papa Dars Jeep . Looking forward to your next video sir. Until next time take care and be safe.
Paul, the only thing I could think of when flexing jeep is to lower tire pressures and check clearances. Excellent work on fabricating cage.
love watching your videos and seeing your great things from scratch
Cant wait to watch you guys pull Matt out with that
The cage looks awesome. You have to include a bar behind the front seats that goes from behind drivers head to behind passenger seat. Then a bar straight across between the B pillar bars. You can also do a complete X behind the front seats. These bars will stop the cage from collapsing if rolled over. Look at any race car and you will see what I am talking about.
You know you live in a great small town when older farmers gift their old vehicles to eager boys anxious to work hard on them!
Awesome video/fabrication! I can’t wait to see papa Dar wheel this thing, it’s going to be an animal!
Providing it can move 😊
Nice to see you passing on your knowledge to your kids! And that old Nissan D21 is awsome! Some truck heritage right there.
Looks great. You will figure out the transmission. You can do it.
Calling that cage stout is an understatement...that is a monster of an cage
Hay fab rats, like watching you all on you tube, have small shop out side caldwell, idaho- sandhollow. See you using wd-40 alot, I use to myself. Now use a product called free all, really like it. So sending you two cans to try.
I like free all too! Good stuff I think! I love the smell haha
Now if you sheet that beautiful cage if papa rolls it over on snow he will slide all the way home. Really that’s the nicest cage I’ve ever seen great job. I still think Ramcharger orange white top. Love the looks of it.
I'm glad papa dars arm is back in working order.
I wished I lived closer, just to help out around the shop and learn as much as I can.
I wish Paul had an ironworker too! (also while we're wishing, I'll take one for myself as well 😉) let's hope someone in upper management from one of those big name manufacturers becomes a fan of the channel 😄👍
Paul, a man of many talents!!!!!!!!!!!1
Waking up to Papa Dar is always great. Next best thing is any video rescuing Matt...
Awesome work! Real fabrication is why I watch. Nice flex!
Wow, 2 videos dropped about the same time, Matt's and Fab Rats! Fab Rats won the which to watch first! We can see the satisfaction that Dar and Paul have with the completion of this build coming to a conclusion.
hopefully papa Dar keeps the shiny up and the greasy down but if not no worries the jungle gym will protect him for sure, nice job on the roll cage
Good morning 🌞 everyone

Grab pipe handle on A plier in side of windshield so easier to get in and out..just a suggestion. Fantastic job
Nice roll cage...keeping papa Darr safe. Better to be safe than not. Nice video...👍👌
I like when Papa gets in there wrenchs around when he can
Judging by the amount of reinforcements in the cage, PapaDar must like that skinny pedal even with a tire off the ground lol
This is some cool content. makes me want to throw money at a garage and learn to fabricate the correct way
You definitely could use an Ironworker, Paul. They are very handy.
Can’t wait to see this and the corvair do some wheelin!
Dar will definitely be safe if it rolls over. Nice cage
I was bored. Then boom. New video. Perfect timing Fab Rats 👍👍
She’s a BEAST! Great build.
Nice job on the Rollcage...Sweet...Great video thank you for sharing
DAMN That is a serious Roll cage Great work boys it is looking fantastic and great to see Papa Dar with out the sling!!
Can't wait to see the next episode.
Hay your son got a good pickup . My good friend has one roughly same year but extended cab. 4 cyl It has just barely under 500,000 on it . On original engine , on its 2nd trans
that has to be the best roll cage ever! What a build!
I see those poison spyder A pillars I was wondering why you didn't get full LJ cage from them but them I can see what you are doing I worked for psc for six years and fab rat has some cool ideas
That's a pretty stout roll cage! I've seen the places you go and expect that with all that weight on top, it will get put to the test at some point. Papa Dar might want to invest in a stout harness and some limb restraints!
Bravo Bravo Bravo!!! Cage looks amazing Paul! The transmission on the other hand, gotta fix that! The flex also is pretty sick!!! Good job!!!
Think you could drop it from an airplane and have it survive landing on the roof. Looks great! Thanks for sharing these builds with us
those Nissans are awesome we had one growing up on our ranch and we could take that thing damn near anywhere we wanted to take it.
That was a LOT of welding!
FAB RATS and Matt off-road rock
Really digging You all's productions and YT Channel.
Thanks for watching!!!
If you form DAR with those tube pipes, the name alone holds structural integrity. Add Pauls craftsmanship, she’ll be impregnable !
Cool roll cage set-up, the blue Nissan pick-up is cool. I have a 94 Nissan Altima SE with the 5-speed manual transmission. Mines had the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine which it shared with the Nissan pick-up during that time and the engine lasted me a lil over 465,000 miles so I know the 2.4L engines were well made, I retired the car and put it up on cement blocks and the dogs use it as a shade during the summer months lol 👍🇺🇸..
Nice job on the cage build Paul , probly went through a spool of wire just about Ha !! This summers gonna have some outstanding off road trips I can feel it !! Papa Dar's got himself a machine !!
WOW! That cage is Badass!!👍
Paul can build anything! He’s the freaking man!
You an Mat just the best.
This is my favorite fab channel!!
That roll cage is going to be a head banger when it gets bumpy
I think it is awesome that you and Matt are on the same upload time schedule for the most part.
Hey what's a good place to live in the area. Looking at St George but still to big of a town.
check ur kick down linkage on your transmission! it wont shift it its not adjusted right
Now that's a proper cage, nice job. As for the transmission, tomorrows another day.
Hello,
I enjoy your videos very much. I’ve even rewatched some to learn some really neat stuff. You done some really cool projects.
Can’t wait to see Dars Jeep and Matt’s Corvair and Paul’s yota off-road! That’s going to be the best video ever!
"Just a skosh more..." Was that a metric skosh or an SAE one?
Whitworth Standards .at have been accidentally used.
This is a roll cage from a rock crawlers perspective, don't want anything coming in from the top to hit you in the cabbage, Paul you built 3 things in one , the coolest roll cage , a kids jungle gym and a platform for papa Cars rooftop tent which someone out there can send to him as a sponsor , 👍 Sunday mornings just don't get much better , A Corvair video and Fab Rats video
Sick cage and Fab work ... That jeep would look bad ass with a canvas safari top on it ..
Great build man.
Good Job Paul!!!!!👍💯
Great job on the roll cage !
so help you on building roll bars use your shop floor mask it out start with the main hoop behind the seat then build from there make your cage lot easier to figure out, us masking tape on the floor to lay it out
Nice roll cage!!!!! That’s how to build a roll cage.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍
Bloody fantastic! Impressive flex! 👌💪👍
Paul, You and Matt should build a 24 hour of Lemons Car. It's a racing series where the total value of the car can't exceed $500. Looks up their videos on here they're a hoot. With your your and Matt's building and mechanical skill's you'd do awesome.
What a roll cage! Hopefully it's not top heavy. Thanks for the show fabrats👍
Good video as always Paul.
Fair play paul there's some nice fab work gone into that cage m8 👌🏼👌🏼🤘🤘🤙🤙
Sweet cage. Nice job. Thanks for video.
Way to make fabrication look easy. I’m not sure many of your subscribers know how much work it is. Nice job! Rock crawling only needs 1st gear, you’re good.
Awesome vid Paul. Patiently waiting for the next one 💪🏼👍🏼
&00's are finnicky on the Throttle cable adjustment.
Coming home after a hard day's work, just to find a new video from Fab Rats just makes everything OK again!
;)
EDIT: Papa Dar can wrench!
Hiya all, Now, I have a problem watching you fabbing up stuff, being an ex engineer (no not a train driver but making stuff that flies) I can watch you all day fabbing stuff and thinking it through as you go, rather than just watching and saying - OHH hes so clever, yes you are good, but Im not saying that lol.. Clever people working with metal to me Is an art form, I done stuff making things from Hi Tech metals and alloys for years, it was my job, I enjoyed it, but I too come from motor sport on the Ovals so made things that worked well also/ well retired from both, but, just love watching you work making art forms Into functionality (ohh thats a big word).. All I can say Is keep up the good work.. So Ill keep watching it all happen.. Thanks for the video - Ian - UK.
Thanks for watching!!
Another great video guys and taking the time too teach your son also. keep on going looking forward to watching more videos
I love what you're doing. I can't weld anymore because I had to have a pacemaker put in a year ago. Boy do I wish I could still glue metal together.
I’m glad I read this. I’ve had a pacemaker for about 7 years and welded off and on since. So I Googled it and sure enough, I shouldn’t!
Gonna watch yall 2 or 9 more Straight axle swaps with roll cage and disc brakes and im gonna start my own. Learn something daily from yall !
I just love your stuff. Thanks.
