It’s funny Hunter usually holds the camera and lets everyone do the work but when it’s time to drive a side-by-side, he comes runnin sits back, watching him on strap and lower the bed, then runs and jumps in the driver seat, if I was Shawn I would’ve kicked him out of the seat and drove the SxS myself I do the work I get to play too 😅
I've driven an M1114 HMMWV at speed at night, in total blackout using only AN/PVS-7 Night Vision Goggles. it was, ummm, interesting to say the least. o~0 damn Bosnia..
I am totally inpressed with Hunter. He catches grief from everyone but just keeps on smiling. For sure, a young man who is confident in his own skin...Good job , Hunter!
I've had colleagues where all we did was joke around and give each other grief and it was all fine. It's when they stop treating you like that when you are in trouble.
This video was the coolest most badassness that I have ever seen in my 53 yrs on this planet! And that coolass tow truck is got even sexier in the dark than it is in the daylight! I am so jealous of Paul it’s not even funny! You have built and empire Paul, ride er’ out my man! Ride Her Out!!
Go back to stock, 99% of these long travel kits just result in breaking something every time you go out. I've beat the donkey fuck outta our xp turbo and never broken anything but body trim panels from rolling it lmfao . it does have demon axles in it though.
Hunter will probably go onto other employment than cameraman for Fab Rats, but Paul's influence will impact Hunter's future more than he'll ever know. Quite an interesting team dynamic
@gunnytinmanWhy there can't be any reason you don't like him he is always funny and joking part of the team. You are always making rude comments is your life that miserable you watch the channel just to talk shit that's sad. If you don't like it don't watch nobody forcing you to funny how arm chair cowboys talk shit from the comfort of their couch lol. Guarantee you being a cameraman isn't that easy but you know I'm sure lol.
A twofer. Night vision riding and a recovery in one video. Nice job guys. Y’all are having fun and breaking stuff and your fans are loving watching it all.
Just a safety tip. While we cannot see the IR light coming out of those, it's much more dangerous to our eye than visible light. Don't put your face close to them and look for the faint red glow. Check the IR lights with a smartphone or camera. That is the safest way.
@@mrwinston_thepug We only get one set of eyes and many do not know the dangers of both IR and UV exposure. I'm just passing on the info, in the event it was not known.
The footage of the tow truck pulling the side by side at night was OUTSTANDING. The shots were freaking awesome. Great choice in music. It fit. And Paul, between Hunters Dad and you, he is gonna be a fine young man. Props to both.
I just recently purchased a 2017 RZR Trail, and I hope it stays together, but since my Woman will be with me usually, I will not be doing crazy stuff with it. I have had Polaris quads since 1990, and the only thing that ever happened to me while on the trails was, a suspension bolt broke allowing the lower control arm to drag the inside of the rear wheel. I could go backward, but not forward. I backed up for 17 miles! I was in the mountains, and it took that far to get cell service. The only other time, I was at 8,000 feet on the side of a mountain, 30 miles from the truck, and I lost a belt. I had a spare belt, and enough tools to change it. That turned a potential catastrophe to a minor inconvenience. Since a drive belt is one of the main things that will strand a belt drive machine, I always carry a spare belt, and enough tools to change it, on my 2017 RZR, and my 2022 Polaris Trail quad. After watching Matt's Off Road Recovery, and Trail Mator with Rory in Moab, I too am amazed at how fragile those side by sides are. I have taken my quads over much rougher terrain, and much faster to boot, and they are like a timex, take a lickin and keep on tickin.
2012 Honda 400ex here. No motor mods just slightly bigger back skins and a one tooth smaller front sprocket is all I’ve ever changed. Regular oil and filter changes and just rock solid never an issue to this day. Every summer we do a 3/4 day trip to hatfield McCoy where we track close to 500miles of riding, and about one weekend a month where we ride locally about 20-40 miles depending, all year. So idk something like 10,000miles and it’s just bulletproof. Just this last year she started suckin oil so I think it may finally need a top end rebuild. Just don’t mod the engine design or beat on her and she’ll last forever man.
@@pnwdweler4100when you add portals, it's gonna happen. Tire size definitely plays a huge role as well, but combine the much larger tires with portals giving that tire even more leverage to snap components and you get breaks even faster. These sxs machines are not designed to have big tires. Putting more than 30" of tire on a sxs is like putting 44s on stock Jeep axles. I'll never understand why folks think it'll last, but they'll never quit thinkin it. 😂😂😂
'The guys in the front will be able to see and the guys in the back will have no idea what's going on' describes every time I've been in the back seat on a 4x4.
Great video!! WOW!! That was some kind of ride! The night vision made it a whole different kind of experience. I can't imagine how the people in the back seat with NO vision must have felt going up, down and around without being able to see a darn thing! AWESOME!!!
That looked like fun as hell. AGM when you break something you do it full tilt. Now you at least know what to improve and what not to recommend. LOL That whole night was something everyone who goes out wheeling ought to do at least once in the lifetime. I think you just got yourself a ton of new customers!
To the FabRat TEAM…peeps on the Team that put this night video together…extra Friggen Kudo’s👍👍👍 well done..and to the peeps doing the Work on the Team…Keep on Keeping ON …. The Foundation that never cracks, but sure as Heck ROCKS👊🇺🇸👊
Had a friend of mine use IR cameras to film an owl nest on my property for a documentary, 70 feet of scaffold, 2 big IR lamps and a camera blind. The footage was amazing watching mom and dad bring prey back to the nest and feed the chicks. It's fun to use but not all that practical in most applications.
Dude, I'm so happy all that squirming I did when you were dragging the sxs uphill gave you the extra hp to get up it!! Oh man, it was perfect. 🤣🤣🤣 That was badass BTW. #GPASHERM saves the day (well... night) yet again!
Paul, every time I watch the way you handle these types of situations I'm impressed. You are a master at the craft of off-roading and off-road recovery!! Keep up the great job and be safe out there.
That sounds like so much fun you guys need that setup for night recoveries. I could imagine the looks on peoples faces when you roll up on them with no lights on!
Paul, looks like a fun time was had! Sand looked like snow. You should do it again with snow! Rescue was a definite bonus to the ride! Love you Fab Rats!
I love how you did normal swat when he said it then paul said well kids and you stitched in the lego style and I spit my dang drink out thank you for that.
Love the channel as always Hunter you stepped into the second Man position very well The fit is natural and the flow is continuing You gentlemen (Shaun too) do a professional job
Those SxSs seem pretty tender. He'll have it up and running in no time I'm sure. It really would have shown the NVGs if you did the entire recovery in the IR The IR cam would have shown us all the excitement. Thanks for the upload.
That was a hoot watching! My stomach dropped a few times and I can only imagine what it felt like in the back seat blind! What a blast it must have been! Loved this and hope to see mor3 like it!
Man, that was some foreshadowing when the guy was explaining the upgrades to his RZR. Paul said something like "If it falls apart, we won't even know!" And then it turned into a two-for-one deal. A night out playing turned into a recovery.
Good morning I really enjoyed this video and I hope you guys do more night recoveries this was a lot of fun to watch the wrecker did really well in my opinion. I hope the wrecker is an easy repair
hey Hunter, that was an easy recovery, good job! dang night ride, was like whoa! that side by side darn that’s a situation. camp fire was the way to go. wow how cold was it Sean, dang double layer coat that was some knarly tree…Awesome team work guys
Back in the day when I was in the Marine Corps, I used to drive military trucks and I did a lot of night driving like I'm not kidding a lot lol so this brings back a lot of memories right here but anyways I hope you guys enjoyed it that was fun for me so I enjoyed this video you guys made thank you!
The last time I did it was with mono tube (no depth perception) nods and ended up running my HMMWV over some constantina wire. Had to use a leatherman to get it loose.😮
That is a common fault of the Sprinter van traction control system. Matt from MORR, had the same issues when they were pulling one out a couple of months ago. Their 4wd system is made to handle snowy conditions - not sandy ones. Hunter - you did great! The wrecker sounds so good at idle..
Looks like fun!! It's unfortunate the portal ute went down; had a bad feeling when the portals were mentioned b/c they create dynamic forces that the suspension wasn't intended for.

Not saying it applies here necessarily; sometimes not understanding what is happening can appear as confidence.
It’s not grief, it’s banter!
@@medievelknevil8716 That's the word! tnx.
That’s how it is. The young guy gets the butt of the banter.
Just to make Paul and the crew feel better, I’m watching this video in the dark.
🤣I think I'll join ya ... clap off ..... yes I still use my clapper .
Im watching it in joseph fritzles cellar.... 😂😂😂😂
Awesome response.
I'm watching in front of the campfire
Dang I was just gonna say that to 🤣
"Well...if a little kid had a swat team" 😂😂😂😂😂

"If a little kid had a SWAT team...." that was great!!!! Such a cool video.
Hunter, Paul, and Sean along with Trail Mater's Rory, Mike, and Shawn are the best. They are all genuine and provide lots of laughs.
We had the MOST fun with you guys! Let's run in back soon!!!
We’re in anytime!
Go back to stock, 99% of these long travel kits just result in breaking something every time you go out. I've beat the donkey fuck outta our xp turbo and never broken anything but body trim panels from rolling it lmfao . it does have demon axles in it though.
I think I've bought enough AGM products to finance the repairs you need..!!!!!
The LEGO swat team simulation was hilarious!
If youre going break stuff its definitely the right crew to be with. Looked like fun
The editing is official! The swat and Lego swat clips were hilarious, nice video gentlemen.
12:46 Man I lost it laughing! Great editing!! 🤪
Hunter will probably go onto other employment than cameraman for Fab Rats, but Paul's influence will impact Hunter's future more than he'll ever know. Quite an interesting team dynamic

I think he meant leave happy. I kind of think he will learn, do more, and stay though.
I can see him transitioning, when we see him solo in the wrecker, we will his graduation, Paul is teaching him a fun job he can make a living at
Yeah, you've defined the reality. Hunter will quickly outgrow his position. I will be sad when he leaves.
The editors did a good job with the SWAT team My favorite was the Lego part
Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Fab Rats! 👍
😊
Lego Hunter was amazing 😂

Only look through a camera for a few seconds. The IR can damage the camera sensor!
Whoever is editing for you is kicking butt. Outstanding.
The footage of the tow truck pulling the side by side at night was OUTSTANDING. The shots were freaking awesome. Great choice in music. It fit. And Paul, between Hunters Dad and you, he is gonna be a fine young man. Props to both.
These disasters are what make you guys so great to watch . Stuff breaks- so what - we got this . 😊
-- Liked the camera split between Hunter and the Van during that bump tow.
almost choked when those legos played their role. Nice touch LMAO
Excellently done! Congrats to the editor for making sense of some rough video. Very well done!
Finally some AWESOME new music!!!! The track during the night rescue was epic!!!
Always surprised how little it takes sometimes to break these 40,000 dollar toys....

Great episode. You got to watch out for Shaun he may be quiet but he can lay in some digs in to Hunter!
Amazing video quality, audio and music.
I’ll say it. Great job Michelle and team!!!
Almost like a “ hey watch this or hold my drink” fun time!
The AGM night vision is really cool. Sorry to see their upgraded side side break. Glad they chose the right guys to party with.
Hunter had us all
🎶🤘😝🤘 Blinded by the light
Revved up like a Deuce, another runner in the night
#FabRatsFam
That’s a great recovery. I’m surprised you were able to film as much as you did.
Great videography, especially during the recovery. That was really pretty.
reliable vehicle + mods = off road recovery my favourite formula that keeps Matt Rory Paul and Casey busy and the rest of us entertained
That looked like fun as hell. AGM when you break something you do it full tilt. Now you at least know what to improve and what not to recommend. LOL That whole night was something everyone who goes out wheeling ought to do at least once in the lifetime. I think you just got yourself a ton of new customers!
Real bummer for the maiden voyage of the new set up ,,, but to see the owner still smiling and accepting it for what it is ,,, good man
Bahahah The Lego Swat team, Well done Editor!

What a bunch of crazy kids… wish I was there 😂
The amount of money people spend to try and make a side-by-side cool. I knew it was going to break when you introduced it LOL✌❤😃
I think I see more broken than not.

Good attitude, It's all adventure, even the set backs are fun.
Love the channel as always
Hunter you stepped into the second Man position very well
The fit is natural and the flow is continuing
You gentlemen (Shaun too) do a professional job
It’s really nice to see a change in pace. Not that we didn’t like what u normally do but sometimes change is fun and that video was fun.
Your recovery editing is getting to be production like 👍 keep up the good work Michelle 👏
I can’t take credit for this one! Our amazing editor PJ created this masterpiece! We have the greatest editors!
You do provide TV dinners and get take out burgers though.@@FabRats
When the big boys play hard!!! Thankfully you have the means to recover.
If a little kid had a swat team, that was hillarious 🤣😂🤣😂
Hunter is a 🌟SUPER 🌟STAR!🌟 Fab Rats has improved so much having his a their videographer.
The edit on this was hilarious especially with the swat Lego

Totally cool and you guys seemed to have fun. Thanks for the ride.

that was some knarly tree…Awesome team work guys
Hey y’all! STOP means spin tires on pavement! Good on ya! 🤣✌🇺🇸
I was told that very same thing at one point 🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I always was taught stop stood for set toe on pedal … nothing to do with stopping.

When you guys were running around with night vision, I commented to my wife, "My face hurts from grinning so big." What a hoot!
Another great offering from the Fab Rats crew. Surprised ya'll did not see a "squatch" out in them wild lands at night.
The camera wasn't blurry enough to catch a squatch
@@cndsoda Great answer. TY
Loving this variety & this sort of sort THANK YOU SO MUCH, I miss doing these sorts of shenanigans
Idea: the next night ride shenanigans with the side by sides, should be on "Sand Chute" 🤣 that would be hilarious to watch
"You look good! Your eyes are super blue!" Bro love on the trail...j/k
Paul tell Shaun here in PA, Stop Signs with white ring around are optional.
Paul's eyes at 13:18, "The spice must flow!"
Dune reference 😂
The images at the end of this were great! The black background and all in the bright colors poped.
Someone should explain to Hunter what those shiny mirror things on the doors are for.
He probably always wondered.
That is a common fault of the Sprinter van traction control system. Matt from MORR, had the same issues when they were pulling one out a couple of months ago. Their 4wd system is made to handle snowy conditions - not sandy ones. Hunter - you did great! The wrecker sounds so good at idle..
Oh no, they brought out the Lego SWAT team. I love it.
Thanks for the good videos and the laughs.
Keep having fun you guys.
Michelle in the back with no goggles would have been hilarious!
That Lego edit had me on the floor
Well that was interesting, have a good week and God bless amen. 🇺🇸
Looks like fun!! It's unfortunate the portal ute went down; had a bad feeling when the portals were mentioned b/c they create dynamic forces that the suspension wasn't intended for.
You guys might be onto something lol. That honestly looks like an amazing adventure all the way around
I was super impressed with how bright the stars are using your night vision.
Cool!
Trusting that someone did put that fire out properly...
🐻
Awesome! Sounds like Alvin doing wiring.
i fing lost it and spite my drink all over the computer when the lego swat team came up
Those modded side x sides sure are delicate little flowers!!!!
Love the sound of that big block singin. And the wreaker looks BA running in the dark to. Looked like a lotta fun
That night vision stuff is crazy!! Looks like you had a blast, until they broke!
WOW, Paul what niced blue eyes you have.
Swat team was so funny!!
Back to old style camera work with no image stabilisation 😂 it’s like the Blair witch project !
You guys was rocking with góod sounds and video content. Well done guys.
