Go get you some Fab Rats Merch TODAY @ www.thefabrats.com/
The American flag fab rat sign someone made Paul. You need to turn it into a sticker
Just wanted to say that my original style shirt is extremely soft and comfortable. (Not and paid endorsement). It has quickly gone to the top of my shirt rotation and I always look forward to the Fab Rats shirt day. Thank you, I was not expecting such a great shirt, just wanted something from one of my favorite channels and ended up getting a favorite shirt. Also, I have never posted a compliment about the quality of a shirt before so this is a first.
I got some 90 weight on my hat….. now it stinks so I need to get a couple more.
if yer gona buy a jeep,,buy a power wagon.. any.. the only jeep id buy,in a bad dream. wud be a jl rubicon v8.. then,fix it..
I'd really love a gray hat so next time you have a give away please put my name in. I'm disabled ex-military on a fixed income. I have watched all your videos and love what you do. Before my accident I used to do alot of what you do.
I like the logic of if somethings not working out just gotta go out to dinner with my wife. Works every time!
When Grandpa Sherm has to adjust his hat, you just know they’re struggling.
Eventually, Paul makes everything look easy.
Date night makes everyone smile!
You lucky son of a... A wife that counts a parts run with a food brake as a "date night". Now that's a unicorn wife right there!😉
The closest semi dealerships were either 125 or 310 miles.. so an hour away was a blessing!!
All good women are like that, #support just fine you a good one! but is it like a unicorn YES!! But they are out there.
They are out there. When you find the location of the supply please let the rest of us know, this truly is a unicorn. Cheers, Paul.
They are out there. You just gotta be patient. You're not gonna find one at the club or hoeing around on Instagram
@@wildmikefilms I don't touch clubs actually. I'm more a gym person than a club person.
I'm a old lady but for some reason I'm enjoying watching your RUclips videos very much... thanks for giving this old lady something go watch other then watching news like my other old people do...
youre never alone. when you say "WE", you mean the viewers too
Thank you, too!
You know it’s a good and challenging video when it starts with Matt on the Fab Rats channel. I honestly looked down to check the channel right when Matt said “why am I introducing the channel” lol
Matt did the intro and cursed FabRats to a Jeep BattleFest. Wife got date-night out of it. So it'll pay itself back.
@@fshalor738 True
Having a grandpa around to help is very special! The channel has grown, good job guys!
Love it when the kids ask questions. Same questions I would ask if I were there.
Seeing a happy and satisfied customer makes all the hard work worth it.
I think we've all had days like that when even the simple stuff stops us in our tracks. Thanks for showing us what really goes on instead of some magical perfect RUclips transition.
“Toyota, Toyota Chevrolet- let’s stick with those stuff”
Drives Dodge to parts store
Hahaha relax
He hates that truck tho!
you mean a cummins shipping crate?
He means OLD Chevy, I'm sure, lol... New ones are total junk...
Stick with Yotas. The true cockroaches of 4wd. These things just won't die!!
I just Can't wait to see that Cruiser pick up built up. They're the coolest trucks on earth besides a 'Mog!
Watching Paul Work/Play is often educational, sometimes funny but always entaining.
The Fab Rats crew is a great bunch of folks from what I see.
I hope to meet them in person someday.
I have to say how much i love this channel. I dont own a big shop with fancy tools and to see the way you do these jobs is awesome. NO ONE shows these things. Thank you
There are some other good small guys out there on the RUclips. I watch Puddin's Fab Shop and Mortske Repair, too.
Man Paul so sorry for your loss, I lost my Day and Hero over 6 years ago now and I miss him. There will always be something that will make you think of him and the great memories even more now. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for a great dad. Sounds like you had a great one too. Thanks for being genuine and sharing your dad with us.
What a channel guys . So educational and entertaining too. Looking forward to seeing PAPA DARS truck all finished. Your son's too! Discovered FAB RATS and Matts OFF ROAD around the same time. Keep up the great work. Thanks to you all.
I noticed the trailer ball and thought to myself wonder how long its going to be there, next shot it was gone. Like your stuff you show real work what can and does happen. Thanks for keeping it real
It lasted until the scene he had to edit out. Bleep bleepin blepity bleep
Always love a FabRats with Winder and Wetzel.
Great job, Michelle
You gotta love Matt and Paul:
"We're assuming...?"
"Well, I measured it... by looking at the picture on my phone... that's about right."
I love it... 😀 😀
Paul sure got his full 25 cent share of “help me with one bolt real quick” out of Sherm 😂
FabRat attitude makes all the difference! Thanks Paul!
Paul, I love the fact that you include the problems, as well as the success 👍. I love the fact that Michelle jumps in on the parts run and makes it a date night 😉
Good job upgrading the bleeping Jeep 😏😂
👍👍
Well, you can tell she enjoys being with him, THAT'S what makes a parts run a date night. Doesn't matter if it's a parts run or whatever. I know people in marriage that honestly can't stand each other and others times they are the best but that's few and far between. When you locate the nest of these unicorns please let the rest of us know. 😂
i work in a machine shop running an OD grinder. manufacturing pinions, worm shafts, hallow shafts and good stuff like that. cool to see people building with things like that !!!
That would have been a 5 part series on most channels lol. Great work Paul
It’s like you were fixing one of the kids go carts. Plus a Chrysler curse 😜
How many times did you hit your head before taking the hitch out? Great Channel!!
Long time viewer, First time commenter. I was watching how you heat the bearings to slide them right on and wanted to tell you that most of these bearings are made of 52100 high carbon steel. They are hardened and tempered to a specific rockwell hardness. Heating them to a brown or straw color definately changes the heat treated hardness of the steel making them softer. I don't know if that affects there use or wear at all not my area of expertise. I am a knifemaker and can see by the color whats happening to the steel. You may want to look into it. Having said all that I absolutely love your video's and the work you do. Keep it up and best wishes to you and the family!
100% correct.
Sharp eye! I'm a machinist. Metal changing colors from heat means you're changing the temper of the metal. Its better to avoid that. I might use a torch to get things apart. However, I'm no metallurgist.
I like using a cheap hot plate and or a freezer to install plain bearings and bushings on my own 'junk'. At both NASA and United Airlines we used liquid nitrogen and controlled ovens to install lots of bearings. Fun stuff!
Timken says that 250 degrees is the upper limit for pre-heat before temper starts to change
@@mikeclausen7831 250 degrees isn't getting metal very hot. That fact is pretty surprising! I would guess axle components might get hotter in operation especially braking.
We heat custom made cutting tools from tool steel sometimes to full cherry red , quench it in oil then temper it with a torch until it gets that straw brown color. But that's for cutting tools that are hard and fairly brittle. They need to hold a cutting edge. Not fine bearings, they're supposed to last far longer!
@@rollinrat4850 If you hit 250 degrees in the rear end...your oil is TOAST and will lead to total failure....200 is a hot rear end, 180 is about normal...oil starts to go above 210
Paul I grew up the son of a welder! Watching your channel brings back a lot of good memories! Thank you
My dog loves nothing more than going for rides in my Jeep. It also has a simple after market exhuast....which sounds VERY similar to this one. So similar that when you started it up my dog heard it from the other room and lost his mind thinking I was going somewhere without him.
Dogs do love to ride, may you have many memories.
Matt said the gears were like 2:91 but when Paul read the numbers on on the rear end they were 41 and 11.That means they were actually 3:73 gears.😂😂😂
Right you are.
Why YES, YES they are, I mean look at the plus side, you are always learning how to work on every other jeep on the road, helping fellow jeepers, by alway working on yours.
Date night needs a "name that food" with Michelle
Except Paul wouldn't know the name.
I get the feeling "name that food with Paul" would be more interesting
Do this in a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.
Good job Michelle, sabotaging the hubby's work, in order to get a sushi dinner. That's big brain thinking right there.
Motorcycle riding buddy of mine switched to four wheeling ,he says the same thing you do Toyota.👍
I just saved the website for Papa Dar’s campground on my phone. We’ve been talking about a camping trip to Utah, and after watching Fab Rats for the past 15 months of so, staying here would be great!
- There..axels done. Now all we gotta do is INSTALL IT and we're finished.
- Did this n that and done.. Now all we gotta do is the OTHER SIDE and we're finished.
- Jeeps done..all we gotta do is ALL the details and we'll be finished.
I enjoy the videos guys lots of good stuff thanks for posting.
My fascination with Jeep's ended after owning 2 of them. After switching to Toyota's my fascination continues to grow, it's what works for me.
@Carolus Magnus TOYOTA"S!
'Yotas are the true cockroaches of vehicles. Buy an older one and just fix it up like you want it.
Mine is 35 years young (2nd owner) 240000 + miles. Original short block, tranny and rear axle. The front axle is even older but all rebuilt. It looks like it's seen war. It's been on the Rubicon, Fordyce and lots of other Sierra trails.
Agreed anything made by fiat Chrysler is basically trash. I mean they have cool stuff but none of it lasts
@@jhtrue80 Jeeps are pretty good offroad vehicles........ Once you modify, strengthen and fix all their many problems. I towed my cousin's highly modified Jeep up Cadillac hill on the Rubicon! There's videos and pics I will never let him forget! 'Old 'Yotas rules for reliability!
@@rollinrat4850 yeah jeeps are cool my best friend has a Rubicon that does good here at Uwharrie but it constantly needs work done to it
JEEP - Just Empty Every Pocket
I'm not sure but this cancels the warranty correct. Is it still under warranty
@@archieletsyouknow5508 you better hope not!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know that every damn brand has some stupid ass thing people call them, Ford, found on road dead lol only thing bad about Chrysler BEFORE was the trannys, and now though they have the number 1 tranny in the biz
I want to see you build that box body Bronco you passed. Great job on the Jeep. Always a good day when you get a date night out of it. I loved when our kids were home, but me and momma needed a little us time, so date nights became sacrosanct. If someone wasn't bleeding, then we were to be allowed some time. Enjoyed dad daughter dates and times when me and the boys could spend time together as well, but your partner in life deserves to be reminded how much you love and enjoy them as a person. Awesome
This is my first time watching this video. I really enjoyed seeing your dad. I wish that he was still with you.
Another epic Winder Towing beard. Gotta be something in the water down there. Oh, and the mechanical stuff was pretty ok too. Paul is a bottomless well of knowledge.
I love Paul's reaction to a manufacturers' "Trail Rated" badge! lol
There's lots of different trails out there! Some arent so easy! How many 'trail rated' rigs has Matt pulled out so far?
So sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. Lost my dad and brother same year in 2019. We have good memories. Keep your head up and enjoy" the ole girl". That's what your dad would want. Love you brother.
Fab Rats you make it look so easy ! As for MAP gas heating the inner bearing race only drawback is you could temper the race soft if you go past straw color. Hot oil would be my choice here, but I'm not under pressure to get the job out quickly either. Great video thanks for posting !
I have found that to heat up bearings etc I wrap them in a wet towel and toss them in the microwave. Keeps the heat down in the shop.
metal in microwave?
@@infernalhybrid As long as it's surrounded by fluid like a wet towel it's ok.
Oh my gosh that was the best ever. Loved seeing the Yota perform. Papa Dar is no slouch either. And Michelle....what can I say? Love you all. I have the Fab Rats infection now.
Another one out the door ! We used a deep fryer to heat up bearing and races. before I used a torch and a temp stick. You wouldn't believe the amount of bearing that failed when others had worked on them before. We mainly worked on heavy equipment and tri-axle trucks. Got one of your shirts, love it !!
This mans mechanical work experience and overall know how, is awesome. 👍.
Love them fab rats stickers
For an old dog like me. I always learn something new from watching your channel. A joy to watch and learn.
Been working on cars for a long time. I always buy an extra seal or two, almost always need them. Sometimes the longest part of the job seemed to be going to the parts store. Love watching someone else i.e., Paul do the work now.
I wish I had your knowledge and skills! Amazing work, always keeps me intensively focused trying to work it out, a few more fab rat tuitions and I'll be there 😂🇮🇪
As always, damn good job Paul!
Dude, seriously the best personality around, and Michelle bumps it up a notch!!
Skills like that at work..................very relaxing to watch...
...gives you confidence in the world continuing to operate properly.
Just keep him away from go-carts. ;)
I just press those bearing and retainers on as an assembly, but I like your custom pipe bearing driver
It's how I do it. Though his custom pipe bearing driver is better made than mine. xD
Lubrication, lubrication, lubrication....its always been a big help for me when I lubricate the mating surfaces so the components can mesh together with less binding, vs trying to beat everything together with the big hammer, plus easier to take back apart if need be. if it don't fit beat the hell out of it!
OBTW: Original trade and training, more automotive repair experience than other trades
Just by putting a FAB RATS!! sticker on a Jeep you made it already a better Jeep!
Paul, those TrueTracks are AWESOME... even with one wheel in the air, you just add a little brake, parking brake, or pedal brake... and it starts driving on the traction wheel again. The military uses them... they take a little work to get used to, but they work great!
I have one in my rear diff... I'm thinking about putting an OxLocker in the front...
"I just made it hard"! No truer statement has ever been made. I am delighted to see someone else has the same luck/curse that I have. Now I don't feel like I am alone with this luck/curse.
When I worked in the field repairing heavy equipment, many times I had to have more parts brought to me. Sometimes I was 3 hours away from the shop. That is just the nature of repairing in the field. Since you are an hour away from your parts store, you might as well be in the field. LOL
If I had to order a special seal to do a job, I would always order an extra one. If it was a special order, I would order 2 extra. I could always return it to the parts department if I did not need it. The old saying, "It is much better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it," is soooooo true.
so its the first day of my 4 day 4WD weekend and Im all packed up ready to go...and Im sitting here watchin Fab Rats! :)
So basically, downhill from here?
@@dwitcraft HaHa, it sorta was!
Run some Anti-seize on the threads of the bearing puller to make it last a lot longer.
Glad to see I'm not the only one still working on what should have been done yesterday 🤣👍
Of course Paul got the rear end fixed. It's what he does best! It's always good to see (and hear) Michelle in there also. She is always a really good sport!
That’s so awesome you get to grab a quick outing with your wife! I like that you showed us your successful sushi run as well as the Jeep gears!
had two of these before going back to Toyota. I will NEVER stray again.
Hater!
Yep, needing to own 2 of them says it all lmao.
I’ve owned two different Jeep’s and will buy another. The only thing is I won’t buy one newer than 2001. The 4.0 is awesome.
On my 1st Rubicon trip, I towed my cousin's heavily modded YJ at the end up Cadillac hill with ...... wait for it! A 'Yota with a carbed little four banger and 33s. Ive got the pics, the film and I regularly troll him!
Yotamafia
It's awesome to see the best of the RUclips together great tv for family and jeepers and all the KS for the sanity u guys bring in a crazy world we live in!!
My friends say "It's a Jeep Thing!", but you don't make me regret skipping that "Thing" at all, at all. You are good even when things are going badly.
Might have been cursed but you got it done with some big hammers! Good job!
Nice work on your part..it’s a shame about newer Jeep’s and Matt..they have both lost their way.
👍👍❤️
Even if he loses his way occasionally......we’ll still claim him.😉
Great sticker on the back window of the jeep👍🏻
Thanks for sharing, very entertaining. All you Fab Rats stay safe.👍
I used to think an lsd in back was good enough, till I switched it for a locker 😄
I'm using a Detroit Trutrac LSD in the rear for driveability and an ARB in front. Trutrac's are one of the more aggressive LSDs so I've heard. It works great on my 'Yota. Proper diff gears and ultra low t case gears make the real difference.
Ive got a hand throttle and sometimes drag the e brake a bit to get it to lock up in knarly spots. It really works!
Good work!
What's happening with the early Bronco in the background?
He's going to give it to me... Just never met me. LOL It would be cool to see it worked on.
Nice recovery for the third? parts run. Dinner for two. Well played my friend. Those jeeps seem to have parts attitudes but it's done and done.
I love your little stories. Thank you for sharing.
Got 37s on the wifes jeep and have to do the same. It's manual trans so it never sees 4,5 or 6th gear
Got brakes that a bonus 😬
Great job always like watching you fix things
Great video always a pleasure to see someone who enjoys their hobbies even when they don't go as planned.
Colour change is getting awfully close to heat treatment temps.
I agree. The brown, straw color I saw shows it's definately changing the hardness of the 52100 steel.
I was thinking the same, but then I realize he does probably hundreds of these a year and drives them hard himself on his trucks so it's probably no biggy.
@@angrydingus5256
Would it still work?
Hell yes, the bearing is way over sized , under loaded and runs at extremely low speed in an oil bath.
Yea, it will outlast several sets of tyres the seal and probably the axle it’s sitting on.
Is it damaged?
Quite possibly, at that temperature the surface hardening may have lost a significant percentage of its effectiveness.
@@brucebaxter6923 Fair enough. And Im actually glad someone brought the subject up. I even looked up if this was "okay" to do before finding this comment and read that you shouldn't heat a bearing much past 150F and that 250F could make it brittle, I suppose depending on application it's used for though. Thanks for the insight.
@@angrydingus5256 you got to get metal a lot hotter than 150 degrees before you change its hardness. I’ve been working with metals for over 55 yrs.
I'm near Pueblo, CO and for sure would hire you to do the same with my 2012 wrangler.... Great job brother.. Keep on wheeling
Being somewhat mechanically inclined, I am always amazed by guys like Paul that just seem to know what needs to be done and how to do it. I’m sure he grew up learning this stuff and I think it’s great the boys are learning from dad and doing things, too. Plus, I can’t leave out Michelle! What a great wife that encourages Paul to do what he likes and being such an asset in the videos.
as a long time jeeper with many jeeps under my belt i finally found the definition,
Just
Empty
Every

two new channel sugestions for you "what Matt forgot" and "date night food review"
Perfect time to add chromoly axles and HD diff covers
Yeah I thought those axles looked pretty spindly.. Of course, I'm used to Toyota & Chevy.
My old '67 Land Rover Series 2A 109wb was a beast. One ton. 12 leafs at every wheel. Wasn't the most reliable, but cheap n easy to fix.
Such a wonderful family. Really enjoy the videos.
Hehehhe.
Pretty much did the same trick to replace seals and ABS ring on my friend's Xterra.
Sunday and no shops open. Bought a bunch of cast iron pipe fittings and made pretty much that same hammer/pipe setup.
The returned all the fittings to the store (it was a car parts store with garage/service, but they refused to press the parts if the truck was no in the shop.)
Joke's on them, we did it in the parking lot!
Matt pays his office manager very well
Debt based society.
@@jimyeats ???
@@stephenabril7084 Your statement insinuated that Matt must pay his office manager very well to be able to afford an expensive Jeep. Statistically it's more likely that the person is just going further into debt.
@@jimyeats maybe, maybe not. It was a compliment to Matt and I don’t know how he paid for it and It’s not my Business.
A lot ??? No but a good wage . Happy for the guy
Wouldn't most wheelers out there change to a locker, especially when changing the gearing? In my case lockers have got me out on more than one occasion. Just my 2 cents worth...
They should, but the lockers are usually around twice the price of an LSD. So he is getting two LSDs for the price of one locker. For an overlander the LSD should work fine, but also get a winch.
@@KJsProjects good point and silly me not thinking about the $$.
@@KJsProjects I'd rather save up for lockers than do this job twice.
With Yukon: 500 for LSD, 800 plus air parts for air lockers and 1000 for electric. TBH if you have the money to start this project with a newish jeep I'd go with the locker too, but just like in my case 15 years ago, the payments might be inching into his upgrade budget. LSDs for a 44 might have a reasonable secondary market price ready to help pay for the upgrade after the budget has some relief. 900 for an OX 🐂 😋 👀 Which I'm obviously a little biased towards.
I’m locked front and rear, but nothing beats a winch. Less chance of damaging drive line. A light foot and a winch saves the day 99 percent of the time.
Paul, i've watched you put together several differentials and i just didn't understand the pattern on the ring gear and how the shims set the backlash until today. I totally get it now. I know this is a two year old video so im sure you won't see this comment but i wanted to say thanks. i feel better. lol
This was a great video.....good mix of stuff. Beautiful weather that day too
It's always a good thing to take mama to dinner
Ok at the start I was wondering how long it would take you to hit your head on that ball mount lol. Then at 6:11 It's gone so I have to ask this question,,,, in that 6 minutes how many times did you hit your head before you removed it ? Lol
NO REPLY LOL !!!
Paul's "waste of time" expression was priceless. I agree. Never again on the clutch type lockers.
nice work Paul! Way to fix that Jeep up! Just having re-geared this spring, it makes a HUGE difference
I would have given up after three attempts and then blamed somebody else.
I'd be cursing Chrysler or Fiat or Peugeot or whoever owns Jeep currently lol. Got damn French crap!
French crap? Do the French own Dana/Spicer now?
The only problem with Jeep. Is it's made by MOPAR. Witch stands for more parts. Lol God bless
It's part of the
"Fix It Again Tony"
franchise.
@@ronwilken5219 yes now it is. Lol God bless
Toyota. tick. Chevy. tick. Fab Rats sticker, priceless.
Those date nights are what makes the world work! Great job.
