Paul I’m glad that as a father you let your kids drive the rigs you have spent hours building. Good man, thank you. You, Merlin and Derek from VGG are role models
Merllin yes, derrrick..are you kidding me?
Tractor Supply sells paint you can roll on with a roller would look better then Clear coat.
@@rickwallace5582 curious as to why you dont like VGG.. one of his recent revive and drives from the drag strip he had his son there helping the whole time...
@@jimgreeshitty opinion but ok
What father doesn't let there kids drive???
My old man had us driving before we could even push the pedals in properly.
Memories that Landon will have of this day and all the days like this with you will always be remembered. I hope that all of kids will remember the time and love you and Michelle have given them.
My son flew to Texas to hang with me for the eclipse and it is something we will remember for life ✓ plus Landon is happy to have them braces off .
if you remember to repeat memories, then your memories will be more memorable
Good to see you and Landon doing a Father and Son trip. Trips with dad, you will remember forever.
These are priceless memories with your son Paul. Really cool stuff man. Definitely raised Landon to be a Cool kid
Awesome seeing Landin move into taking the second rig out. For us fans, getting to see both the tow truck and the FJ at the same time on the trail is just a win-win.
Great to see Landon get some cred. You have some really cool kids. I bet Paul was a lot like Landon as a young man. What you do sets an example for all fathers. Thank you!
Great to see you and Landon wheeling together,and he looks like a chip off the old block in the FJ
Couldn't have said it better myself!
I admire Landon’s skills but even more, I am impressed by how he gleans wisdom from his dad. Building a great man there! 🤙🏾
Glad to see you and your son doing the trails together 😊
IDK that you can get any better father/son time, than this right here. I can't wait till my son comes home from service... Great content!!!
It's about time Landon starts building his own rock crawler, he deserves one!
He may need to build his own shed first.
Hey Fab Rats team, I live in New England. I was walking around Boston today wearing my fab rats hoodie, and three people stopped me to say how much they love fab rats. You guys are the best!!!
As a fellow masshole, I would have stopped and complimented you too!
Lando has become quite the competent wheeler.
Like others have said, it is nice to see father & son out enjoying time together, especially in Gramps Sherm's Truck. Bravo to you guys.
you can see the dads pride as you watch Landon drive those obstacles this is why a love this channel great family fun.....
This was an amazing video. I love where You went rock crawling. That was amazing, 6 hours away from home, but it was worth it in the views. Paul and Michelle are great role models for their children. Thank you for sharing! 👌
I love this video because I have done these things and know I will never do them again.
I'm an old man with health problems who now lives in Youngstown, Ohio.
I have been running back and forth from the East Coast to the West Coast all my life.
My parents taught me how to do it, and by the time I was 20 I had already lived in 5 states.
Today, I am in my 60s and have lived in 11 states.
And where I am today, I will never see that part of the country again.
That's what makes getting old so hard. Things you realize you will never see again.
Love what you did with the FJ!!! She's purty now but still has that Paul feel
It doesn't matter where you all go to recover or to have some fun wheeling the country around you is magnificent.
What a happy kid! Looks like Lando is having fun too😆
I see what you did there😂
Thanks for making. Good father and son times. Paul it looks like you are doing a great job as dad.
Most people don’t understand that if you have a nice paint job on your vehicle then you’re scared to scratch it. And then you would feel horrible because of all the work you had to put into it to make it nice. That really looks good Paul and I think it’s a great choice.
After Robbie spent hours painting Matt’s Bambi he had no concern in scratching it up,didn’t care less.
Thats why I'd paint it with a good old fashioned single stage paint. No clear coat required, easy to touch up or spot in any damage if needed.
I use single stage to works good
22:25 "This moss is slicker than you would imagine" proceeds to step to the edge. Love this guy!!🤣
So good seeing you and Landon spending quality time together. One on one is super important. My son just turned 45 and his son will be 15 this year. Being autistic, I'm not sure if he will ever drive a car but they do play video games together.
The "Patina" looks great! Was a good thing you did with providing Chad a welder like that! I'm sure Chad will be right there to help you in the future!
That's what good friend's are for! Landon and the FJ are becoming One! The way these 2 vehicles perform is a testament to your engineering skills Paul!
Thanks for the video!👍
… i’m still wondering if those transmissions made it all the way riding behind the rear axles
That BUG crawler was AWESOME. Clearcoat was definitely the best option
That speaker box is straight out of the 80s
I talked to Landon for a while last year at the wrecker games, He seemed like a fine young man who could hold his own in a conversation. You should be proud. It’s nice to see him continue to mature and grow his skills.
A man and his son sharing rides on the trail...doesn't get any better than this.
Beautiful around Vernal.
Like that shiny finish.
As a Vernal local, we love when people come our way to play in the rocks. There's plenty to do here. Next time you're up, definitely hit Red Mountain. That's a challenge
There’s a method to the madness! You didn’t wanna get any truck dirty and you used the free truck! Smooth operator!
It’s good to see Landon and you having a good time together, Paul.
He’s getting really good at wheeling. He seems comfortable and that’s important. Great video.
I got to give it to Landon he doesn't show any fear at all and he's up for anything, but saying that he has a very good teacher in you Paul, thank you for another fantastic video.
My friends and I rescued two rentals on the Peek-A-Boo trail a couple years ago, a RWD only 4Runner and Mitsubishi Outlander. They didn't have a chance once they got into that soft sand. Then we went to visit you! It was a good day :)
it is great to see you take some personal time with your kids. time fly's so fast, and then they are gone
I love the clear. This video, apart from showing a great family outing, shows off what your tow truck can do and why it's built this way. Keep at it, Fab Rats.
Awesome trails. So nice that you have this time with Landon, The memories will last forever. You have built some awesome rigs. Have been following for a few years, Love what you are doing, Big Shout Out to the entire Crew!
The FJ and the wrecker both are absolute beasts!! Good job landon!! Love your content!
Landons a hell of a driver, and the FJ and the tow truck are just off road beasts!
This was one of the best father, son bonding video you can get.
What sin has a day that can build a crawler, Repair and being young can afford a built crawler? Great video Paul and Landon🎉😎
Nice to see Lang getting comfortable in front of the camera. A natural
Really like the paint job... on both rigs. Have to say that VW was interesting as well. Great video and great trail wheeling. It's really cool that you and Matt and Chad and Robbie have established such FAMILY oriented businesses. Just a great thing to see and watch. Hat's off to each of you and your families. We need more of it in our lives.
Trucks look awesome. Landon is getting to be a great crawler driver. 😊😊😊😊
Nothing better than getting to make memories with your boy! Love how you include all your boys on adventures. All together or individually so great to see you making memories that you will all cherish. Thanks for sharing.
Paul , I'm glad that you only clear coated both vehicles ! I love the old patina look them ! Thank you Paul and Landon for the adventure and seeing some amazing scenery ! Take care , stay safe and healthy !
The FJ and truck look great, what a fun trip.
That's what i enjoy seeing going out and having fun, plus great memories with your son !!
So glad you "painted" the FJ... you picked the right color!
Nice looking trail! Lando is becoming a pretty good driver!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Thank y’all for the ride. So beautiful out there and I truly enjoyed coming with y’all thru the screen
Love all the build episodes and recovery episodes but this is probably one of the best yet. There is nothing better than a good father son bonding moment
Very cool Father and Son time. He will never forget times like these.
I know the FJ probably looks great in person, the camera doesn't do it justice. But, the tow truck looks awesome. Great wheelin', too. Landon is getting quite good. Thanks, guys.
Lan getting spoiled driving a very capable ring. Father son time is priceless.
Nice to see a father sharing knowledge with his son and sharing an adventure together!
That stuff really makes for a good look on both of your rigs!👍👍😄
Paul, seeing how you interact with your kids is so great. More power to you, Great job Landon. Your dad is teaching you things that will stay with you through your life. Great memories.
Enjoy it Landon.....
These are Days w/ Dad you will cherish
Awesome from a retired vet living in the Philippines. Wish I was stateside to come visit. In the day built a sand buggy from an old VW. Built many hot rods, dune buggies, an bikes. Keep up the great content " from the Cajun."
My heart stopped momentarily when you said you were "painting it". Thank you for keeping the iconic, natural beauty!
My heart didn`t skip a beat , had to change my panties though.
@@rickwallace5582 🤣 that's probably worse.
Come on! You knew Paul was going to paint that thing!
I think a nice white paint job would look good
@@IEchuckie it would be nice. Personally I have always wanted him to paint the fj lol. I'm a fan of patina but i just think it would look so nice painted (better than the patina) but it is not mine haha! paul you keep that patina if thats what you want haha
She's painted! looks great........ Rocks are rocks, no matter where they are. Great seeing a Dad and Son adventure.
Everything I've seen videos and pictures of that have been Poppy'd have looked great. The FJ included! Love to see the father son wheelin' partnership!
that's the way I like my rust.....shiney!!😁 just playin'....I do like the patina.
The rub on clear coat looks great!! SHAWN OR SEAN spelling 🤷♂️ Did a fabulous job👍
Landon is a hell of a rock crawler, you've tought him well Paul.
Love seeing Lando cruising the FJ.
Great episode guys......It's amazing what you can do with the right equipment. Pretty cool watching Paul's kids grow up.......That smile is Lookin Good Lando!!!
Like the "painting with no paint"! The clear added a lot to both rigs without damaging their personality!! Great offroad drive too! Beautiful country!!
Checked that stuff out, Poppy's Patina. Seems good, looks good.
Wonder what brand?
@@audia32000 I didn't like the gloss finish, it doesn't match well with the worn out and rusted away paint. I would have looked much better with a matte version of which Poppy's Patina also offer as wipe-on.
Great Father/Son memories!
I enjoy your videos. What i like is you have a thumbnail on your videos but watching you get so much more than you first bargin for.
Man, y'all are so blessed to be able to live in such a wonderful place and to be able to do these things!
Thanks for the tour! Great views!
Awesome that you are training your children!! Great job!!!!!!
FJ and the wrecker looking awesome you guys are the best
That Whipple sure has made the wrecker so much better! Great job! And as usual, great job editing Michelle!
Lol, I used to drink Mountain Dew heavy and it actually gave me some health issues.......hate to say I have felt better ever since.
Great content you guys!
All pop, soda, sugary/energy drinks are POISON. Don't drink that garbage.
Mountain dew will cause strokes.
Yeah that stuff is not good. I used to drink 3 cans a day or more. Glad I stopped.
I used to Drink 3 or 4 cans a Day, Ended up with Kidney Stones, and Surgery to get rid of them. Doctor told me it was from the high content of high corn fructose syrup they use in it, Been 4 years, no problems since
Landon has definitely learned a lot Paul. He's really can wheel the heck out of the old FJ. He has an awesome teacher.
The clear coat definitely made both the FJ and the Towtruck POP. They both look great. 👍
I've always loved the FJ , looks sweet all glossy!!!
We never see vehicles like the FJ in the UK. I wish we did, the FJ is the baddest Truck on the internet. Great to see Michelle back in the videos a bit more.
Flip side is N.America didn't get defenders until the redesign in 2020
@patonb your not missing much not having the early defenders.. 😂
The fj was called a land cruiser mk1 we just don't see many resto power had one on their channel, check it out totally opposite end of scale to paul's
Fab rats and Morr what's going on?
@@danielevans17 but Hammond drove his up a dam!
On first sight “insane” doesn’t come close; then you see how easily those rigs just walk it - combination of engineering, experience, skill, bottle and a massive smile. Great viewing!
What an absolute beautiful part of this planet you live on. Gorgeous. Great family bonding time too. Patina finish looks awesome too
The FJ and wrecker turned out looking good with the Pappy's patina kit.
FJ looks GREAT !
Fantastic father son time! ❤️
Love the patina of the FJ & Towtruck, plus how the flatbed diesel looks. I agree with no paint
She's a beaut, Clark
I like that! 👍
Painting the FJ??
No Paul Cox didn't paint the FJ
The FJ keeps getting better and better! Glad you’re keeping the patina!
A good wheelin video. Thumbs up to the editors for a nice job putting it together.
Ugh. Worst click bait title ever!!! I was so scared you were actually gonna paint it that I started watching while I was at work..😢😮😂
I guess it was the best click bait.
Ha ha got ya.
That's why I pretty much stopped watching and unsubscribed. The titles just turned to clickbait all the time.
@@mikewhitman745 and yet here you are… 😜 jk.
Makes that rust pop
Man you know watching another father being what a father is supposed to be is absolutely awesome 👌🏼. Our kids needs us to show them the rights and the wrongs and really they need us to do things with them and enjoy life with them. Create memories that they will never forget and everytime the look back the smile and think man that was great hanging with my dad or mom. At the end of the day work isn’t that important and whatever else isn’t that important, your kids are that important and just go hang with them and laugh and smile.
I grew up in Vernal. The caves were a favorite picnic spot. I never imagined driving a rig in there. Just awesome. Thanks for a trip down memory lane!
Paul - Just an FYI. There is a product called Shark Hyde that is clear and used on marine / boats. It's clear and dries fairly fast. It helps with scratches ( brush / trees / rocks ) you get the idea. I put 2 coats on my 22' hull and think the world of it. Dale
Paul you have built two bad ass machines there.
The FJ is capable but that wrecker weighing in at 6000+ is a monster in its own right. Hell of a day with your son making memories for all of us to remember as well.
Nice to see dad and lad out on their own building solid memories.
FJ looks GREAT with some shine!
Glad to see Michelle at the start of the video.
Have you ever met a transmission you couldn’t kill.😂
Paul gets the good dad award!!! I’m a two decade middle school teacher almost retired. I’m just going to say good job dad!!
Great video!! Landon is getting to be a pretty good rock crawler guy!! That trail looked like a lot of fun. Probably better in dry conditions. Thanks for the ride! 😀
Have a brother who lived in Vernal when he worked oil rigs. Really enjoyed visiting but never saw the trails so thanks for the ride along. The boys will remember that for a lifetime. Great stuff Paul. Thanks
Great job Landon you have matured into a great young man sure your family is proud!
