Paul, I'm going to tell you one thing about what you're doing. And it's not about the money or the popularity or fan fair. It's you being the leader of your family and giving great guidance to all the young men you got over there. The things you are doing for those youngsters will be some of the best memories they will ever have. I grew up without a father, so I can attest how important you are to your family. Keep up the great work, brother.
i usually skip over "FANBOY" comments but this is 100% true more men need to take note from this father/husband/employer/friend he is an inspiration to young people on what to be like
Absolutely true brother, I completely understand unfortunately🤘🏼💪🏼🇺🇸
When you have fixed it, call it „Phoenix“. Just appropriate😁
I watch this channel and think the same thing. Dads teaching stuff are have immense value they don’t understand
Why fix it. This way you don’t have to worry about scratching it and messing up a pretty looking vehicle. Make it a semi reliable off roader and call it a day
Being that it is red and it is rough, the name "Road Rash" came to mind. Looking forward to what the future holds for this wounded machine.
Built for off road: Gravel Rash
Name it Crunchy!!! The body crunchy spots...the sounds from the drive train...Crunchy!!!😂
I'm going with "Rosy" That thing is going to be a thorn in their side!
I like Road Rash.
Call it "Red Rover" (or just "Rover" for short), because it rolls right over. :D
It’s easy to tell how much Paul likes Hunter. It feels like he’s become another son to him now and treats him just like his own. I had uncles who treated me this way when I was his age, and it was special and I still have great memories of working with them and them teaching me stuff and helping me fix my stuff while teasing me a bit along the way. Hunter is a lucky guy and will appreciate it someday even more than he’ll know.
Paul mentoring these young men is heart warming. Sherm must have been a great father too.
As an older Dad just wanted to say thanks for taking all the younger guys under your lift, as others have said your teaching them lifelong skills and understanding. Today’s kids just don’t have the shop and automotive desire that my generation had and it’s good to see you showing the ones around you the ups and downs of car stuff. And also keeping some family fun stuff mixed in. Well done Fab Rats and Paul.
Hunter's newly acquired Jeep should be called IT'S FINE!
Lmao for the fact Paul says it's fine in the whole video kills me...love it 😂
"It'll be Fine" was already taken (C&C)
Think you should name it Rolo, after the old Hershey’s candy. It’s chocolate covered caramel from end to end.😂
Lol😂
Paul: "Lead me and guide me and walk beside me"
Classic! Great episode!
😊i know the song too that that verse comes from
I think "Radio Flyer" is the perfect name for Hunter's jeep. He just seems like a lil red wagon kind of guy. 😉😂
Paul, thank you for taking the time to meet me on Tuesday. I know you are very busy but you still stopped and talked with me. Hope you have better luck hunting elk!
I THINK ITS GOING TO BE FINE! Love this whole episode 😂
lol
They Need a Decal "It'll Be Fine" on the Back ..lol
This was a FINE episode
Oh Funny
Captain of the Titanic: "It's going to be fine!".
As someone who does not have the ability to finish a project when I start it , the amount of projects you do is just amazing.
I am just dissatisfied that they will not do a Hemi swap
Greetings from a small town in South Africa Paul and your team. Started watching your channel when I was in isolation with Covid and have remained a firm fan since. Enjoy the humour and find it fascinating what you can fabricate. Long may your channel continue.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys do with Hunter's new ride and Michelle's Commando. Thank you for the hospitality on Monday when we stopped by even though you guys were super busy and had a lot to do. It shows your and your families true character and why you have so many followers. Next time we stop by it will hopefully be in the Willy's wagon!
Professional video productions take months, years and occasionally decades. If you have media to run through and never ever show it. It's entirely up to you. Throwing something together only works if you're making a mud castle. Pretty sure most of us enjoy your content no matter the situation. Hope some day you have enough content that you can take an extended vacation. Most Influencers don't seem to understand how to manage time properly.
Hunter needs to get some big rig training. Mirrors are on vehicles for a purpose. Of course that's kind of why ground guides are used.
So love the absence of expletives. They just grate on the senses.
Thank You so much for using proper safety equipment. Welding Helmet, gloves and smock. It's so easy when you get into the habit of using proper PPE.
Very satisfying to watch.😃
I love how Michelle just kicks it in the shop these days
I remember all the hard work she did with her commercials and advertising
Now she can just hang out on the ship like one of the guys lol.
Some day hunter you will grow into your "man hands" good morning fab rats. My god bless you and your family
not if he keeps walking away from the oppertunity to "strengthen them up" hahahaahahaa
"It's fine!" is the optimistic motto of a guy who ain't canceling his trip - can't wait for the wheelin vid and see how it turns out
“It should be fine”on one of the hardest trails on the west coast. Takes an advance driver 2 1/2 days to complete the trail to do 36 miles of torture. Love that trail. “Should be fine” lol
6 quarts for sure, I've changed the oil in my JK a couple of times without a lift. Im 64 & if I can do it myself, Hunter can do it himself. Make sure you get the correct oil filter, air filter & cabin filter.
'Not Bad' meets Fab Rats! Hunter glad you have a wonderful family and friends to make a safe and fun project Jeep! Please everyone have a wonderful week, take care, and have fun!
Old Flip is a good name !
As a jeep guy, im here for it! Lets go 1 tons and LS. You could also Hemi swap and use current trans and tcase for another route. Should be a fun build! I miss my 1 ton YJ!
Take another vehicle!
Hunter when trying to loosen a hex head bolt/plug like the oil plug try using a six point wrench or socket. That way there is less of a chance of rounding the head off. Also if you use a socket you can use a long breaker bar so you don't have to risk bruising your hands or sacrificing some flesh when the wrench slips off. You have a great project there. I look forward to see how it comes along.
6point wrench and palm impact buck up a little.
Paul's unrelenting optimism in the face of constant adversity is inspiring. It's usually misplaced optimism, but it is inspiring nonetheless.
Hunter's Jeep is reminding me of the 94 chev. pickup I bought. Lots of little things not working the way they should. Fix a thing or two and then there's a couple more to address!! Good luck on your wheeling trip!!!
Hunter those big square things on your doors , will actually work like dual cameras if you adjust them to the correct angle.
yep, just have to adjust the big shiney part of them towards what you wanna see towards the rear!
driver's side mirror is smashed out, I think that is what he was talking about when he said camera I think he corrected himself and said mirror
You need to show Hunter how to use a second combination wrench for extra leverage so he doesn't damage his delicate hands.
If you get to articulation make sure you disconnect that front sway or you'll likely destroy the downlinks. Bring yourself the tools needed to take the center console out, at that age those little plastic clips that keep the transfer cast shifter on, love to brake. Watch that trans temp if it's an auto. Idler pulleys love to go very quickly. You'll find out quick JK steering is anemic at best. Have fun!
Just did the dusy. Man timing..I would have LOVED to see the crew.. Best channel on RUclips. You guys will love the dusy. Bring fishing rods and lots of time. Walk to the lakes that you can't see from your jeeps. Super cool place. Have fun. Shiny side up.
Feel excited for Hunter. He’s Soooo Lucky to know Paul, cuz it would’ve been expensive to do all that’s going to be done on the Jeep. Lucky Paul for doin your Pre-check on the FJ.🤙😎
I got turned on to ur channel by matt's off road. I'm hooked I've learned a lot about rearends by watching u guys. Thanks for all ur hard work on these videos
Same. Matt's is cool and all, and I tried watching after Lizzie left, but it's just not the same.
@@tetedur377my thoughts exactly, I was a pretty avid Matt's fan but once he sent the gold nugget to Paul, I haven't watched a full Matt's video, but I've watched every new fab rats video since then. Matt's is too scripted in my opinion
@@jackcampbell6779 Yes Sir, Matt used to be an off road recovery guy who filmed some recoveries and uploaded them to youtube. ... And now it's a full youtube production with scripted, staged and rehearsed episodes complete with commercials and clickbait titles and thumbnails. ... It's been a very long time since I've watched a complete video of his, usually I just fast forward to to see if there is anything that catches my attention.
@@tyendor1952Not sure I’d go that far. Same could be said about FabRats. Used to be a very low budget production with way more focus on finishing the car projects and more down to earth shop work, and now it’s turned into find-every-possible-project-and-have-eight-unfinished-projects-going-at-once. Kind of gets repetitive. Doesn’t mean it still isn’t entertaining, but channels and people evolve.
As always great content. Love that Hunter is learning to build his own rig. Can't wait to see how the trip goes and and excited to see Michelle's build.
I love when Michelle shows up in the videos. Michelle you’re hair is always beautiful, today it was stunning. This show is so fun for my husband and I to watch. May just be my favorite.
Paul I love how you, throw, smack, stick, slap, slide, button up, and stuff parts and engines in all of your vehicles! Lol.
The best part about Hunter's new Jeep is he's not gonna lose any sleep over scratching it. . Honestly that's the best kind of Jeep to get you don't mind tearing into it.
Fab Rats have a good time camping, and hopefully no break downs on the trails! Hunters lucky to have a great boss to help work on his rides! You all be careful and enjoy your vacation! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next. 😊
"It's fine" Just drive it like you stole it!
Red Rocket is a good name. Hunter has a heavy right foot, and he will probably send it flying one day.
This old fella loves this channel Paul. I've probably told you that a hundred times. I'm envious of you in many ways. And I'll have to tell ya like you don't already know. Michelle is a Gorgeous young lady. You're a very lucky man ❤
I think a perfect name for Hunters jeep is "ROLLIE" for 3 reasons
1: The obvious it was rolled when use got it
2: Right now it's a work in progress.
3: When its finished its going to be the rig everybody wants.
Great episode #FabRatsFam
Damn. Beat me to it 😅
Popped Cherry
@@that0ranger I think that name is better suited for Hunter himself though!! LOL He seems like a good kid, im glad Paul has taken him in under his wing like he has.
Hunter...from Alliston, Ontario, Canada...love that the FabRats family have welcomed you as part of the family. Just watching your newest project. So sending you a suggestion for a name for your Jeep.
I'm thinking "Resurrection" would look good on the sides of the hood and this would tell the story of your build.
The oil leak is more than likely the oil filter canister/ cooler under the intake. Very common issue with the jk. Also the cv joint off the t-case is a constant replacement
EVERYTHING ON A JEEP IS GARBAGE. They design them well enough and then make straight trash parts. There is no such thing as a reliable stock keep.
When I get a bolt like that oil drain plug, I use a nice ratchet handle with a nice round comfortable grip that I can apply pressure to without hurting my hand.
Greatest teacher's EVER! THANKS TO FAB RATS, I just cut my first ROUND-ISH metal cut with a death wheel. I didn't know they cut anything but straight till I watched Fab Rats. Life changer. Thanks guys, Jerry Rigging is MY LIFE. WELL AND JESUS.
You guys are so much fun to watch. Keep on doing what only you can do 😉 and don't worry it's going to be fine 😂
Jeep name , "Crushed Tomato" , because it looks like it has been crushed. LOL
Totally agree CRUSHED TOMATO
Name the Jeep ‘Clifford’ like the big red dog!
BSF already has a jeep named Clifford
@@williamflowers8138 as well as 1,345,798 other people with big red rigs. Clifford needs to be retired from being used
Why is that always the first go-to name for anything red...
Hey Paul you need to bleed the coolant system on a jk after changing the thermostat if not the air bubble will destroy them, I changed mine and my dads 3 times before figuring it out. Now the only time our fan turns on it’s up hill any other time it doesn’t need it
@thefabrats don't forget thatMethod race wheels are the best wheels you can buy for any vehicle (buy 5 so you can have a matching spare) and BFGoodrich has amazing tires but the procomp extreme mt2 tires are also extremely amazing tires
Gooood morning everybody and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!👍
😁
@@JanelleVocate-Ames Good morning! 🐿
When is Shawn going to get a rig of his own? :)
Only 5 minutes in and going to say this right now, this doesn't seem like a good idea but hey, when has that ever stopped you guys? I know it'll be entertaining anyway!
Paul, I like your saying, "It's gonna be fine..." I have a Jeep 2016 Wrangler JKU Willys and I have been learning about the maintenance of it (watching tons of RUclips videos). I have been enjoying taking it off road here in PA at off road parks like AOAA and Rausch Creek. My Jeep came with a Hardtop and recently found my OEM Soft top on Craigslist. Nice magnetic flashlight. Have fun off roading on your trip in CA. Great videos as usual.
Tech tip for working on jeep you can fold hood all the way back and rest on windshield it allows a lot more light and a lot more room
I was thinking the “RaTtler” could be a fitting name. Looking forward to the work ahead. Great job as always.
❤Good content.
Michelle sure looks great at the beginning of this episode having looks like going out on the town.
Love it guys
Hunter great job on starting slow with your own channel
Had fun watching you try to get it home lol
You guys are great and your an inspiration and role model to many
Keep it up guys
Red Rolling hood is the name of that heap lol
If you don't already have this as merch you need a T-shirt with your logo and on the chest area print ths in LARGE letters "IT'S GOING TO BE FINE" or "I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FINE" as an alternative! I would buy one in a heart beat!
Minor damage, I'm sure it will buff out 😂
I think keeping the build simple is the way to go. The Mopar V6 makes plenty of power for wheeling, and with some upgrades, the stock axles can handle 35s or 37s. A mild build will be much easier to keep reliable than doing an engine and axle swap.
Would you rather have an axle as big around as the size of a spaghetti noodle or life saver turning your 37's ?
Jeep might hold together for a while. Good idea to swap it onto 1 ton axles, the Jeep front ball joint system no good. First thing we used to do for our drivers was to block out the back window so they were forced to learn to back up with the side mirrors - doesn't take long before you can back up as fast as reverse gear will let you.
I immediately started thing of a crushed candy name for the Jeep because she’s rad! I’ve came up with these so far. “Red Jellybean”, “Hot Tamale”, “Starburst”. My name is Michelle too! My dad and I have been watching since day 1, love the channel and Merlin, Matt, Chad, and Robby❤
Hey there. I would have loved to have been y’all’s tour guide for the Dusy. (FZJ80 series) It’s in my backyard. Great footage and a great trail. Keep teaching these kiddos what you know Paul. It’s what they need. Good on you bud.
Paul, I enjoyed meeting briefly last Saturday on our way through on our motorcycle. We took your suggested short cut by Pink Corral Sand dunes State park. Then my motorcycle died. We ended up hiking a mile back to the State park entrance to make a phone call to get the bike back to Central. Enjoyed the ride anyway.
I did a LS swap to a jk Rubicon 10 years ago. It was a pain. The gauge cluster is a control module for all lights and wipers. Probably some other stuff that I don't remember. It was a better rig after, though.
This video is entitled... "It's fine, that's fine, she'll be fine, everything is fine!" Love our Fab Rats!
Find some JK Rubicon axles and the Rubicon transfercase. Do inner C gussets and truss the axle. Metalcloak long arm 4.5 and 5.13's and that jeep will go everywhere.
Paul, at first I had to laugh a little, the appropriate name for the Jeep. "Paul's enlightenment
Respect Paul, you help the young people, so much. you all are contact persons, talk to them well and are role models for the "children". Wonderful.
I wish you from all my heart, continue so much success, keep it up. Best regards from Frankfurt.
Quickly becoming my favorite channel on YT!! Also, for the jeep. What about “Rollover”. Simple and tells the story 😂
I used to own a 2001 jeep tj, it was a very little known edition called the "Cilli Pepper" edition. The only thing special about those jeeps was the red color, "chilli pepper red", and a numbered plate on the center console. Your jeep is basically the same color, so you could call it the Chili Pepper!
I like Pauls new, “it’s fiiiine” theme.
Should I start this Bronco that was just submerged? “Suuuuuure, it’s fiiiine”
Roxanne could call Rox for short. Rocking climbing in style! Why only 4 doors stretch it to seat like 8 with a large screen sattelite GPS center. Twin A/C'S, the latest and greatest of everything. You know you want to, afterall you're the Fab Rats! Love your channel!!
Hey guys log your channel! On the jeep if you cut the front part of the too off at the back of the speaker s and bolt it back on you will be able to attach the freedom tops securely.
Paul and Hunter are Cox's from different boxes, my Dad who was in the Navy used to say "shove off Coxswain you are fully loaded" I'll bet you they are related somewhere Salt lake City has the biggest and best genealogy library in the world
So many ideas and comments here. That’s the last year of the 3.8. The head gaskets will seep coolant into cylinders when they sit over nite. Mileage was over 175k when mine started. Headers work for cracked manifolds just wrap them. LS swap are expensive and require harnesses and programming I hear. What like to know your starting budget for the Swap when you do it. Oh and call his JK Binky.
11.34 .....quote of the day 😂😂
Awesome I just bolt in a 5.3 into a 2008 jk with ebay engine mounts. I cannot believe how easy it is to do. I’m using a AX15 trans for
Now but the transfer case bolted right up and drive shaft bolt in with no mods yet
Put a little time in on the Jeep , got some things sorted out and ready to go wheeling. A name that comes to mind Red Rider . FJ is looking good a couple of repairs she sho7ld be alright. Thanks for sharing.
Paul teach Hunter how to undo a sump plug. LOL A long handled power bar and single hex socket. more leverage. Cv, universal, shifter and thermostat. Not to bad for for a jeep thats been rolled.
Hunter is such a good young man. He will learn a lot from the Fab Rats crew.
I must say I’m a little bummed that you guys were in my backyard and I didn’t even know it. I’m an hour away from the DET and nothing would’ve made me more happy than to share a Mountain Dew at the top of chicken rock with y’all.
It’s fine 😂😂🤣
Famous last words.
Have fun boys.
I have a 2014 2 door ive allmost finished doing an ls swap on. Fair warning electronic wise it was a can of worms 😅. Just dont remove the instrument cluster if you want everything to work becuse everything in the cabin runs through it to the TICM via CAN-BUS. I found out the hard way and had to completely rewire it with an older steering column to get everything to work lol. Wish we could post pictures in comments.
Wish I would have ripped everything out and started from scratch but it's almost finished now.
Hunter looks pretty happy to have his own Rock Rig, and Seems pretty excited to get some mods on it! Cool to see! #BuiltByBo
I'd called it unicycle because by the time Hunter gets done it will be lucky to have one wheel attached. Love the video hope to see many more.
I'm not a jeep guy but I'd guess the hard top is probably a bit warmer when the weather is cold.. and the hard top looks really nice compared to a soft top and it's probably less noisy. I know soft tops are noisy😊
It reminds me of a Timex watch - Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin! Maybe there's a potential name in there somewhere.
Name suggestions, Lil' Red Riding on The Hood, Crunchy, Smash and Grab, "It's a Jeep Thing", Red Rolly Polly, Rough and Tumbled, Leaky and Stinky, and Red n' Risky. I think that's all I got.
Festus is a good name! Looks rough on the outside but tough and reliable.
Name suggestion “ the wrinkled red” or “ red wrinkle”! Love the projects and people!
Clifford!😂 Be cool to see Hunter in something but i think Paul is more excited then Hunter 😂
Those 3.8L motors are great little V6s. Are you can get some high performance aftermarket parts for them. I'd keep the block and build it up. And it'll be great on gas when you're tooling around in the mountains.
The Jaggerd Kidney stone 😅 every time you need to go .....pain 😅😂😂
I love hearing Paul sing primary songs.
“ Tumbler” sounds fitting!
Name it (ITL-B-FINE) I've watched these videos over and over and I love all this series. All on this channel and Old school garage then sawdust and lugnuts,
Aaahhhh it'll be fine. I believe these are the famous last words. Good luck folks.
thinking it should be called Hodor bit bigger than a regular jeep bit dented and dim but a monster when pushed into a corner and sounds a bit like fourdoor
That part of the front drive shaft that's bad was called a propeller shaft universal joint
