Robby Layton - "Now we're going to blow tack and static, let that flash off and apply another 14 coats and hand sand between each one." Paul - "It's a rock crawler. We're going to dent it anyway. That's close enough."
Lol Robby that's the difference between your 2 shops. 😊
@@Propertyinspector that is the difference between working truck and mall crawler
😆😂🤣 My husband was saying the same thing. Lol Love both channels.
It’s funny because it’s true. But I love both Channels wouldn’t want either to change anything
😂
Its a rare Sunday when Fab rats is the first to upload. PS my dad would have used both of our heads to knock out the rest of the broken window. You're a great father for editing that part out🤣
If this would have been my Dad the video would have been filmed at the local Hospital saying something like were not sure Mark's gona make it he's in surgury right now having a boot removed from his Nether region.
@@markthegunplumber8376 yup . i got ya loud n clear .
I call that a 3 6 9 aka 3 doctors 6 hour to remove my size 9 boot from their butt
Bahaha bahaha rite ! Good dad didn’t show that part. Lol
Same my dad would have freaked out
I always taught my kids...you break it, you fix it...you pay for it. It teaches them responsibility, accountability, consequences, knowledge and respect for property. They learnt real quick 😐 Well done Paul 👍
Taught mine the same thing and it has served him well. More kids need to learn this lesson these days.
Super light tint on all the glass in a trail rig...when it breaks it shatters but stays in place, easy cleanup and no trail mess. Clear packing tape applied before breakage works in a pinch for rear/side windows too!
Paul, gonna say this once, 20 years ago I watched my wife lose her eyesight from a degenerative eye disease, I can't tell you in words the amount of pain and suffering one endures from losing vision. I can tell you, if you have a choice to see tomorrow after you grind a weld or not, choose to see, Paul if you read this and decide to wear glasses like it is your religion, it will have made my wife's experience just a little less painful. Trust me losing your sight is a cliff you fall from not a slope you slide down. I turned wrenches for a living and before I was educated about eye loss suffering, I was just like you, but no more, I have safety glasses EVERYWHERE!!! I still weld, grind, and drill all the time, but I take the walk to get the specs. ps LOVE your channel! You guys Rock!
My brother is an engineer and a few years ago got a piece of metal from a lathe or drill or something in his eye. He had a fairly good chance of losing a fair portion of eyesight, but he was lucky and escaped unscathed.
I don't understand why my favourite RUclipsrs don't wear glasses or goggles, you're not a tough guy or 'un-woke' by not being smart👍
Sorry to hear about your wife.
Sorry about your wife, Hope Paul and Ben wear protection more often after reading your comment. And the rest of our Favorite RUclipsrs.
Bugs me too, still pisses me off that I had to drive a mate, not once but twice to hospital to get a grinding shard out of his eye, and the idiot still grinds without goggles. Having your eye paralyzed held open then having the splinter taken out did not look fun, but apparently he couldn't get enough of it 😂
💯right. Life will b different to enjoy if u cant c it. I wear them every day in my shop. God bless
There may be secondary reasons to protect one's eyes from metal damage and that is should one need an MRI a diagnostic procedure may be limited because they want to know about past encounters in that regard. Being stubborn about not using seat belts and goggles is foolish.
it's been awhile since I've been a teenager but I can imagine Landon and the boys just standing there looking at the broken glass and suddenly time stops, the fighting is over....And then suddenly you realize "oh we're all in trouble".... Plus we got a cool FJ video out of it so good day all around. Lessons were learned and work was done.
Yes time stops an reality sets in. Like someone setting on the record player
I bet one said dads gonna get u!!🤣
As a kid I would throw a rubber ball against the brick garage wall. I'd been told about it but did it anyway. I had a ten foot target wall with a window in the middle of the wall. I can still remember the flight that ball took as it crashed through the window and sent glass into the open window of my dad's car. Needless to say, I had it all cleaned up before I faced the order of the court.
I'd say Landon should be doing all of the chores nobody else wants to do for the next week. Then take him to the derby again.
I can imagine, We need to come up with a story quick. We weren't throwing rocks at each other, we were throwing them at the demolition derby car. Paul did good not overreacting. Make them help with the cleanup and repair.
I have a brother who is about 18 months younger and we fought and stuck up for one another.
"Teenage boys, you should get yourself some." LOL!!!!
"I've watched a lot of Breaking Bad." Great quotes!
I love your relationship with your family, especially your boys, and I appreciate how you handled the broken window(s). Making him pay for it was seriously the right thing to do. I'm surprised that you didn't make him help with clean up, but maybe not having him there was your way of dealing with it? LOL
Man, you got a lot done in 4 days, but I noticed your projects go the same way as mine. One thing leads to another.
to have Paul, Ben and Merlin under one garage would be amazing to see! I could only imagine the projects they would build!
I gotta say, that was an expensive lesson, but the boy has one hell of a throwing arm. I hope he's pitching! 😄
Best way really! It’s the expensive ones you learn from real quick.
Super proud of him for owning his mistake and paying up!
What a tough lesson.
No eyes got put out.
Thanks again for the content!
The amount of patients and ability to keep your composure after an incident such as that is truly amazing. Nothing but respect for you Paul 💯
Good lesson right before hunting season: always look down range past your target 🎯
It's a good thing they have a dad like you. If I'd done that when I was a kid I wouldn't have been able to seat for a month.
A great lesson of responsibility for your son, the fact that he had to pay for it is something he will not forget. I did something similar with my grandson when he wrecked my 4 wheeler because he was mad at a girl and was driving too fast. It good to see you teaching responsibility
And the shot at the end - the transfer of the cash - excellent. Great video, all around, this week (as usual). Thanks all
I'm sure paul wasn't happy. But he certainly handled it right..actions have consequences pay for what you damaged. Held accountable lesson learned. Fj looks like its going to be a bit more comfortable :) always a good show !
He handled it the same way my dad would have.
That is why they have great kids, there are consequences to their actions both positive and negative. Great job on the FJ and life.
@@hikerJohn. Same here plus cleaning the glass up.
Oh and those boys would be doing all of the dirty work for at least a month . Decreasing, rust removal , sewer cleaning , you know the good stuff.... That's how I would have done it.
I grew up with, if you broke it you fixed it. That meant you did everything including hauling top too the shop and picking up. No help from anyone. Made you change the way you looked at things ahead of time. Consequences for your actions. That's why we shouldn't be paying off other people's student loans.
I always told my kids, don't break what you can't afford to replace. Never had a problem with them destroying things.
Great teaching moment.
This is one of the most entertaining family channels on YT. Love it! The building is great, but the family interacting is so nice to see.
I agree. I follow several channels that are pretty family friendly and it just seems like they are all just good people , not only on camera but off as well i think. I probably curse too much in my personal life and hearing someone else swear doesnt really bother me but when i watch these channels and realize they never curse or really get too raunchy in their banter, it makes me feel like they are going that extra step to ensure they are putting out good content, i like it.
Great Dad, teaching your children their responsibilities, accepting his wrong doing builds character. Great team work with your brother. I enjoyed it.
I can understand why the boys weren't part of the repair video. I would not have wanted to be a party to that when Dad got home. On another note: Huge kudos to Michelle for her excellent video editing work. Top shelf!
You took a frustrating situation and used it to initiate further progress on the FJ. Thanks Landon for more FJ content.
It blows me away the skills presented by Paul’s and his brother. Both very capable mechanics and a joy to watch. Love this channel 🤩
Great team!
The look on his face when he handed you that money shows that a hard lesson was learned. Love the hinge this channel teaches us
Thank god there’s great parents out there that hold their kids responsible for their actions. Faith in humanity restored!! Great wrenching too!
Taking out both windows with one rock, honestly I am a bit impressed. He will remember that 600.00 the next time for sure. Nicely handled.
right? he had some zip on that one!
Kid for sure has an arm on him.
His new nickname is Ohtani...
It's always the expensive mistakes that are remembered the longest.
Yeah, He will makes sure he hit's his brother and not the vehicle. Kids will be kids
I already had my teenage boys, they have their own now. Paybacks are a, well you know. Unfortunate that your FJ got caught in the melee. Thanks for the vid.
this video was fantabulous. reminds me of my childhood and having to learn the hard way breaking my dad's tools(and some of his belongings). Fab Rats and family are the best. Paul and Ben working together in an awesome way and gettin it done.
Paul you are a good father, making him pay for what he did was perfect! He looked humbled and sad for giving you his hard earned money.
As a young guy. I have been there. I’m sure most of us have been there. Those moments of decision, between swallowing it and behaving maturely or immaturely are some of the most important. Keep your head up Landon, we all make mistakes.
P.S Im sure your brother wasn’t completely innocent either. 😂 I have 3 younger bros.
It's nice to see Paul puts family first. Their children are young once. Thank you for being such a great dad. I wish there was more dad's like you.
I was at the Great Smokey Mountain Jeep invasion this weekend buying some yellow rope and beer and I swear there was a pitcher of Ben on my beer can. Thank you for your time.
So glad to see that you made ur boy pay for his mistakes. Well done Pop!
Thanks for adding the piece where Landon squares up for his mistake. Nice to see some accountability with kids. Something you done see as much these days.
I loved hearing you say that you made the kids pay. Our society would be so much better if all people were held responsible for their actions. Its not mean is parenting the biblical way. Great job! Love watching you and your family.
The FJ is coming along, can't wait to see the finished product, even though you'll alway have something to do on it when you bang it up rock crawling, I'd like to see you say were done when there's nothing left to do but drive it!
"I hope you learned a little sumptin out of this bub". In his mind he was thinking throw straighter. Lol. Excellent teaching point Pual. Keep up the great work.
You’re one hell of a guy and a good dad I love the part where you made him be responsible and pay you back for the windshield in the back window that was priceless. I’m thinking he learned his lesson…
You know he learned a lesson on that one. Those kids are all mostly well behaved. Love to see children being raised the right way. Democrats in DC should take notes.
@@timothygeiger8271 NO SHIT, 100%.
Landon pays the bill… and a boy moves closer to becoming a responsible man. Well done Paul and Michelle.
There's never been a channel quite like this in RUclips's history. You've all really got something on your hands here.
You have a bunch of cool equipment to do what you do. Enjoy watching y'all!
Great family story. I really appreciate how Paul handled the son's damage to the FJ without violence, abusive actions, or humiliation. The boy learned that everything we do, good or bad, has a cost. Sometimes the cost is monetary, sometimes it can be even worse. But he still has his father's love and care.
💯
My dad exactly- well, I see what you did and why you were annoyed but now you have to pay for it. Hard earned money is way better long term than an arse kicking. Nicely done Paul
OH that hurt. 600 bucks for window damage. Oh man at that age to loose 600 bucks, i would rather had the beating. Hit him right in the wallet. Bad az$ dad. Along with public humiliation. Drop the mic on this one.
Landon has quite the arm to kill 2 windows with one stone. Gotta love the parenting moments. It always makes you remember the dumb stuff we did as kids.
Especially since it was off a ricochet
And after bouncing off the other car. DANG!
I love Michells words of "Dont be too mad" gave Paul some time to think of dumb things he did as a kid. Good job to make Landon pay up for his mistake. Lessons are learned quick when it dents the bank account.
I love how Paul takes off to go to support his boys playing baseball. Because in today’s world, so many kids are neglected by parents. Paul & Michelle are such warm loving & caring parents 😊
One of my favorite vehicles. Love watching this! Makes me happy and encourages me to continue with my very mild (by comparison) FJ Cruiser project. Thanks guys!
Having grown up in a family of four boys I can almost guarantee that Paul solved the problem because Paul pulled the same kind of stunt as a kid. Intergenerational fathering -- our society is going down the tubes without it. You don't have to be perfect to be a good father, just be there, learn and do it.
Listening to Paul and Ben banter I turned to my husband and said, they were in a house of teenage boys. Wonder how many times they did something foolish like that?
showing up is half the battle.
Ben is mommas favorite
Underrated comment right here!
Just wanted to drop you all a line to say, thank you! After crazy busy, stressful weeks, I look forward to spending Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the Fab Rat’s crew. I enjoy your family interactions and of course all of your projects. Thanks for just being…you.
Oh my- reminds me of my brothers and myself when I was a youngster! But your son owned up and took care of his obligations like a trooper. You are raising some good kids Paul and Michelle! I'm enjoying the progress on Toyota FJ45. And we all love the Demo Derby 'races' too! You all seem like family, even Ben!!
Well Done! I had to do the same with my two boys. Learning a great lesson in life. A fathers love is amazing
Love the family dynamics & just so you know they are learning while they are with you & your family. All good.
These videos are fantastic.
I live for these videos. Just can't get enough or say how much they brighten my day. You guys are the best.
Sad!!!
Have to tell you guys tho it was great to stop by and meet you guys (Paul Ben and Lolly). Was the high light of my trip!! I appreciate you coming out to say hi and take a pic with me! Traci and Mark from Tucson.
You're a patient father. You can bet the boys are squirming, regretting and thinking about what they did and how they wish they hadn't.
Glad to see you're making the best of it.

That FJ is SWEET!! Love what you guys have done and are doing. Can’t wait to see what’s coming for Ben’s Jeep! (Jeep owner here)
I'm really pleased that you kept it cool regarding the glass. Shit happens but nobody got hurt and $600 should help Landon remember that the shop isn't the place to be anything except calm.
600.00 would have been 60.00 when I was his age when I was making 5 bucks an hr mowing lawns and minimum wage was $1.80.
Not only good shop videos, great parenting tips. It is nice to see parents teaching accountability. Well done Paul and Michelle.
Thanks guys! Great to see the family working together, glad you can keep the small bumps in perspective. Hope we can see an update on the guys who were in the accident.
Should have done both rear tubes, then just picked the back up over the bed rails and turned the cage sideways… but that way works too 🤣
Paul that was AWESOME!! Glad you held your cool and taught your son a lesson!!!
Good teaching there dad!!
Such a great channel, stay humble, and keep things going. Miss Ben a lot, but Sean and Hunter are great.
Amazing job guys. You done well putting the kid to pay the glass, is the best way to lear to be responsible for your actions. Good parenting right there!
I can only imagine the conversation… “you know that’s going on RUclips right?” Hahaha. I’ve got a brother just 16 months older then me. So I completely understand throwing a rock at his car.
I was crying laughing when Mr Cox recommended we should get us some teenagers, "they're fun" he says. thanks for the happy tears.
I would rather raise a dozen teenage boys over any amount of teenage girls.
@@petepeterson7230 I've tried both. I whole heartedly agree with you!
I love any work involving that FJ... With that said, Kudos on handling the situation with the boys and the glass and how to hold them accountable for their actions; A+ parenting!!!🤙
I am VERY surprised that you did not treat the existing rust with phosphoric acid before covering it up. None the less, thank you for another excellent episode!
Whole video I'm thinkin', "you ought to have the boys fixing that truck!" Then, the payout at the end made it all make sense. Hard, expensive lesson. But it's good for the soul.
Pay out at the end was the price of the glass, I dont know how Hunter was involved with the breakage but he was the one doing the vacuuming.🤨 Me and my brothers would have never done anything like that.😉🤣
Lesson learned! Its funny you showed that factory GM air fittiing, I have made all kinds of those at the company I have worked for 36 yrs now. My grandson was just playing yesterday with the bucket of samples I saved at home. He calls them gadgets. LOL!
Love your attitude. You have brothers, you know... I have three brothers, we never fought! LOL My oldest brother is 70 now. We love telling stories and recalling the good old days.
Thank you so much for all your posts and my husband watches your episodes all the time. Tomorrow is his birthday and it would mean so much to him if you can take your time to just say happy birthday. His name is Jason and he is an amazing husband and an amazing step father to my children. The world need more man like him. Thank you!!!!
Love the look of the FJ as Ben was driving it in with no cage or front windscreen.😃
[Expensive] Lesson learned! Nice to see the FJ getting some love, can’t wait to see/hear how the A/C works out
Gonna be high class crawler now. At least in looks, always was extraordinary build, be proud guys, it's awesome!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for your patience with the boys!!! Love the vids!
can you imagine the "oh sh!t" face when the rock went through the windows!! lol
i really like the white rust and metal spotted look, its so rustic and just one of a kind, idk if your keeping it like that but it reminds me of a natural marbled look yet is so old western i love it, add in the fact its a rock crawler its another one of a kind build like the golden nugget ..ps it also reminds me of a cow pattern
They're gonna have Robby paint it eventually, which sucks cause I really like it too, it's perfect patina. Rustic is a very good term for it
all i can think of is a tetanus shot when i see the RUSTic look
Just wanted to throw in.... I sure enjoy Ben in your videos. He adds a lot to each episode. Also, your cousin Sally over here in the Sacramento area wanted me to say hello!
I love that you guys keep things so real. You show the good and the bad. Awesome content.
Good learning experience for the boy and anger management! Atleast it happened to a family member and not someone else or he may have been taught a really hard lesson! Really liked the fact he did apologize at the end.. Paul is a great father for teaching respect for others stuff! Great Job to both!
Good parenting Paul! The consequences if that rock hit the intended target...! Good luck to you and Ben with all you busy with, love watching your video's
I just had to laugh! Although my teenage boys are now in their 30's, this brought back memories that hadn't come up in a long time. Great response, Paul.
I like this channel so much I watch it twice. And every time I enjoy it as much as the first time. I love the Fab Rats and all the families and friends. Papa Dar just completes it. ❤️🙏🙏👍👍🌟🌟❤️
Next time, take tape and tape the entire window up before removing it so you don't have as much glass going everywhere! You'll probably be finding pieces of glass for a while lol!
The boy learned a painful lesson and found out what being accountable is all about! Great parenting! I can't wait to see what is going to happen with Bens Jeep in the near future. Probably something epic!
Great episode! I really enjoy watching you guys work on your projects. The vents on the hood look really good too. You handled the windows way better than I would have, great job! You have really good kids. You and Michelle have done a great job raising them and teaching them. I learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
Drill those windshield hinges out and pin them... then you can take your windshield off when you're off road and not to worry about breaking it. Did it to my '79 CJ-7. Love the videos!!!
Absolutely certified surgical mechanics. Love watching you guys. That was an expensive lesson. I bet it'll stick too! Great edit Michelle.
is michelle still editing shes getting really good
When the rage is gone, the regret really stings!
Fun to watch Paul and Ben working together. Love your channel!
one hard lesson to learn but well worth it. Anger will make you do everything you don't want to do. and make you look like a fool in the process. been there wish I hadn't. after, it was too late. I know it might sound crazy now, but you'll thank your dad in years to come. it is something we all feel and must learn to control. you're a good kid and this is but a step in the stairs that is your life. good luck young man. I like your character. you are smiling in almost all of the videos I see you in. wish you nothing but the best for your future.
Amazing team and patience is a virtue ....great attitude
so nice to see the bed and cab floors painted!
LOL. Glad I'm not the only one that has boys that fight with each other. It's always a joy to try to get something done in the shop with them arguing. Cheers from Oregon!
Most valuable lesson you could teach your son. Good work.
Love you guys, hands down my favorite YT channel. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you Paul for raising your kids properly there must be consequences for actions a lot of kids these days don't know that and I'm glad to see you're teaching your children properly keep up the great work love the videos
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Love your Channel not as young as I use to be don’t have as much time any more to build as much as I use to or ambition so watching your channel fills my fix i deliver steel in NY and surrounding states haven’t found a shop as cool as yours 👍
Since you have ppl sitting in the back in the sun the whole time it would be cool to make a canvas shade cover that can be removed for them.
Glad it was just the flat windows - would guess the curved ones are a bit tough to come by
Landon's got some arm to bounce a rock off a derby car and then through two windows. MLB needs him.
Another great video, yall keep up the good work,looks like you got the priorities in order, God, family life, work. I still like the white coronet, and I think Paul is right when he says "it'll be a ripper" so roll on.
