Custom Bead Locks on the Yellow Banana JEEP
Matt, from Matt's Off Road Recovery needed bead locks on his tires so they would stop going flat on his recoveries. He gave Paul, from Fab Rats, a call to see if he could help him get them built and put on!
Make sure to follow along with us as we build and fabricate cool stuff!!

My gosh, I'd swear that was an Arkansas Highway Department road crew. One guy working, 7 watching. AWESOME to see ya'll together.
allen mansfield woo pig
As a fellow Arkansan, that's a perfect analogy
Right, AWESOME game last night. Going up there and meeting those 2 are on .y bucket list.
@@jethro83100 you just gotta rent yourself a Camry and go get it stuck in the sand!
I could probably do that fine with the old armada
Matt and Paul basically turn into 12 year olds whenever they get together. Let’s be honest, we all need friends like this.
Two of the best channels on the platform.
Yes we do need such friends. Luckily, I also have a few of them and consider myself a rich man.
Best part about these videos
Я ДУМАЮ ЛУЧШЕ КАТАТЬСЯ ТАК

so true. Paul is one heck of a worker and welder! wish both of theses guyz were my neighbors!!
Don’t tell Matt but Fab Rats are quickly becoming one of my favorites. I really enjoy the diversity in your channel. BTW, it’s fun to watch either channel when you and Matt join forces. You guys are great together.
Tell Papa, I am 68, I remember the old way of drawing grease into the gun.
I never used that method but I do remember having a 5 gallon metal bucket with the device to fill grease guns.
@@dazaspc yes so true 😂😂
Yea I'm only 45 but yea I rem filling the grease gun various ways,, course we had to as we grew up amish weren't allowed any electric or air in the churches I grew up in,, but then we ended up going to tubes...man I love your alls both channel...
I used to have a grease zerk in the top of my hand pump grease gun and would take it to the shop and use the pneumatic gun to fill my pump grease gun. Easy and fast.
I still draw grease into the old gun i use purely for CV grease when repacking CV joints, via snipping the small end clip of the CV boot and sliding a 4" long really narrow adaptor right up into the joint itself, CV joints like all other joints last much much longer if you give them the ocassional regrease.
Great to see grease nipples on the Banana's steering joints, only have them on the propshats of my Toyota Prado, probably they'll be done away with when the next gen Toyota 4x4's are released...cue Hardy Spicer's no longer lasting the life of the vehicle.
We all know Matt. Those rings will NEVER get powder coated. They will develop a nice patina of rusty Utah sand color, and be bulletproof forever!
😂
I think you are right. He would have to take them off again to do that, that Jeep is on the road a bunch it seems. I agree with Paul, leave the wheels chrome and coat the rings Banana yellow if he does follow through.
Fab Rat what was wrong with welder you found in the dump that lathe is old school we're you get that lathe. In joy both channels 👍
Given how harsh the terrain is, any coating will likely be sandblasted and ground off in short order.
All those wheels will get is a can of spray paint.
“Cross thread is as good as loctite”
"... once" 😆
Hahaha
GOLD
Best line of the day.
Correct 😆
"The lathe not big enough? It's 25 ft long? Reminds me of story of a pilot complaining about how short the runway was, and the co-pilot saying 'Yeah, but look how wide it is."
Matt, my kids thought I was weird calling some of my tools by the sound they make... Until they heard you say "tappy tappy" for your hammer. I was calling my hammer the "tappy tap tap" and I am now completely justified... Thank you! 🤙🏽
Per Derek B. Those are called “Tonya Harding’s.”
"cross threading is as good as loctite"... Love that quote!
Glad to see you guys wore your safety somethings with all that grinding, cutting and welding. 👍🏻👍🏻
Well except for Matt's lack of gloves while holding the base rings for the tack-welding! Gack, I'd hate to get burned like that! Oh wait... I have... sorta. Sitting indian-style wearing shorts while welding. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
I admire the collaborative ability of Matt and Paul to do these things. I learn a lot from watching but know I could never do anything like i see you guys do!
I love to see Paul and Matt work together. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I came from Matt’s channel, loving this channel also👍🏽
Welcome!
Pauly, I did not think at first that you would get that much use out of that old lathe, you sure showed me that I was mistaken, good job.
Can't have a fab shop with out one.
@@williepelzer384 Guess not.
WOW! That is just so amazing how all that works and it's much more complex than the method we used for our motorcycles with a tube inside. You all have so much skill in welding without warping and machining such large things. I love how you work so well together. Maybe a new channel called Fab Rats & Matt.
AWESOME job ... You have amazing talent, Paul !!!! That is a lot of work, and impressive as hell !!
I remember when filling grease gun out five gallon bucket of grease😄
I still have one of those I don't use it for grease anymore though
Same here only thing grease wheel horse garden tractor 🇺🇸
That crooked steering wheel is messing with my ocd....big time 😂👍🏼
Good job boys. Love the camaraderie between yo guys!
Paul, Casey and Matt's vids are just a few of family friendly vids on here.
AWESOME!!!! Paul again crushing it!! And coming through for an old friend!!! VERR NIICE!!! And of course hi to Mrs. Fab rats!!!
👋🏻
Love you guys!!!
Grandma acted like that's a normal occurrence flexing a jeep in the ditch!!!!!
I think that's called a Utah Articulation Ramp. 🤔
I have rocks in my yard we test our rigs on 😂
@@jonathonsmith7694 down in southwest Louisiana we don't know what rocks are hahaha
I'm sure it is a normal occurrence 😁
Hats off Paul, that was some fine assembly.
Next upgrade: central tire air control!
I love how your video drops just before Matt's lol. Awesome videos! Have a wonderful day!
lol You know they were both pushin' their family video production for some friendly competition! lol Bet ya dinner er something! :P
I put air soft pellets in mine to balance them. Get them centered when bolting down the tire and you won’t have any problems. I could run down to the single digits with no leaks. Air soft pellets work great!
Michelle is an incredibly good sport.
She's not a fragile snowflake.
That's just millennials.
Or feminists.
@@kdoeone
Yes Sir I agree. A girl with her attitude can turn a 6 into a hard 8....
Very talented great homegrown shop great video’s
Can’t wait to get another Jeep and build it up like mats,
I am 70 this year and I was working in a gas station shop back in 62 and we had those old style grease guns.
Very cool! Great vid - thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Great job with them beadlockers! Matt sure does have some awesome friends he hangs around with.
At last he's fitting them, it's about time.
Oh great next version of the Jonny Lighting Banana will have chrome wheels. Make sure they do the Taco also. All kidding aside, it's good to have friends like you guys.
I'm so use to rc bead locks i had no idea how real bead locks were this is really cool
So I subscribe to about 1.4 million channels and this one is becoming my favorite. LOL. The comedy, editing and other funny stuff is epic. Thanks for the thousands of grins per hour.
Paul is the man! so much talent, so little time. lol.
I like seeing that monster lathe in action.
Friends helping Friends! Great 👍 job 👌
Wheels powder coated black, with yellow lock rings would look great.
That's what I was going to suggest! Then you'll have to have the Johnny Lightning car redone, and this time they can add a light bar for accuracy. :)
with black bolts
I'd do yellow wheels with black rings, I think.
To load my big camper onto my Hi-Boy Ford F250 4X4 I let some air out of all for tires to lower the truck to fit underneath the big camper. Yeah it just fit, camper loaded... all four tires flat and off the bead. Yeah......
Paul and Matt spot an opportunity in the market!!!
Good job guy’s the bead locks turned out great looks fantastic .☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
Haha seems like you both have an old guy that sits around in your shop. Matt has Ed and you have some too 😂
Another fine video and fantastic craftsmanship again folks. Well done! A quick thought on using an abrasive grinder on your lathe , always make sure to clean the lathe bed off before continuing as the abrasive bits can cause wear. Thanks again for sharing the projects with us.
I don’t see how someone can dislike these videos. I always hit the like button before I even watch his videos.
Ed with his lucky yellow jeep
Name of his show good luck brother
Nice job ... Paint them rings Banana Yellow ... Thanks for sharing ...
People driving by as Matt is driving in the ditch, “what are those silly kids doing!?” “Oh”
That was quite a process. Amazing what a couple smart and able fabricators can do with the right knowledge, parts and tools to get r done! Great job guys!
...great job...really love those two families...always a lot of fun going on...
Paul you are a master of fix it! So many bead locks done in shops with out a lathe or a Dial caliber. excellent job.
Always an Epic Vlog Thank you for sharing 💛
I love videos that I can learn from! Also, "Safety First" is an excellent policy! Someone get Matt a pair of gloves!
Nice! Thanks for the education! Stay safe.
I watched this when it was new. Now I’m making my own bead locks and it’s fun to come back and reminisce. 🤘
So nice to have buds with a full shop
I remember the grease guns that got the grease from a barrell. 1959 at my dad's Shell station. In the oil change grease bay was a 6 ft. deep pit. In it were the oil and trans drain cans, the barrell for the grease gun and lots of dirt and grease. Guess who got to clean it our. Yep, the 11 year old, me! Think that was bad? The wash pit next door had a 5 ft. deep "sump" to catch the mud so it didn't clog up the drains. Every few months someone got to get in the pit and shovel out all the mud. Yep, the 11 year old. Lots of memories and education at that Shell station!
We need more kids raised like you were!👍🏻
nothing beats a test drive with friends after building something that actually works
Love watching these earlier videos from when yall started your channels.
Great work, Paul. I usually wait until I'm at work (I work at night) to watch these but I couldn't wait. I had never thought of making my own beadlocks so learned a thing or two on this one.
Please do more "What's that part with Michelle" in the future. Doesn't just have to be the Jeep and it's kinda educational for all of us
Second this
Nice job Paul.....
Back in 1974 I drove a early Suzuki 4 x 4 but back then it had a two-stroke engine in it and as you drove it it sounded like a dirtbike . It was a hoot to drive; I wished I had bought it.
Thanks MORR for sending me over Fab Rats channel!!
Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing how you made these for Matt. I love "Name That Part" with Michelle.
Very informative video. Nice work Paul.
Love your videos and Matts channels. You guys are some of the best shade tree mechanics I have ever seen. You guys are always airing up and deflating your tires off road fighting with the valve stem cores. I was just messing around one day while checking my fifth wheel tires. I found that if you take the Wynnsky bayonet style tire inflator gauge (just one brand) I got from Lowes for about $20.00. You disconnect it from the air hose and use it on the inflated tire it will show you the tire pressure with out leaking. Then you push the inflator lever still not connected to the air line and it will let air in the tire out at a good rate. You can let off and check the air pressure. It makes it nice not to mess with the valve stem core. ( The Wynnsky tire inflator is on Amazon for $19.00)
Now those are FABulous! ;)
This drove me to understanding that the bead is clamped outside of the rim. Now I know. Didn`t have a clue before. Nice work and they`re in balance, incredible.
I couldn't work it out, but thanks to your comment I now understand. Would have been nice for the guys to explain that or did I miss it.
You guys have too much fun....it's great!
Super custom bead locks. Nice. Dot like my quick release steering wheel.
Paul and Matt awesome work guys 👍👍🗽🇺🇲
The Vermonter
"The Party" was a hilarious shot.
That's a lot of work!!! But fun kind of work if you know what I mean, great job guys!!!
Brilliant, you guys are great mates.
Awesome job. What a great collaboration and fun video.
You have done excellent job both of you and you gave a very strong afred
You're a genius Matt!
Looks great y'all and, I'm with Paul... chromed and yellow [outer plate] would look really nice against the black tire! To balance out tires/rims with custom beadlocks is no small task! Very impressed guys! Michelle is a great sport with the "what's the part" bit! :) Given that she's your videographer and producer... I can see her gettin' even in your future Paul! Patiently waiting for that clip, when she gets you in her wheelhouse and asks what's what! lol Great video y'all... thanks!~
"Crossthreads as good as loctite" my new favorite quote hahaha
What an amazing job guys! Very impressive!
These guys are the real deal. Cant find the wheels we need, no problem we'll just make 'Em
Hell yes to chrome with yellow powder coat
It's looking like some good ole' Government Employee's workin' there today. 5 supervising and 1 working. :)
Golly, I really enjoyed watching this video. And I’m a girl who knows nothing about car parts either, but I do like cars. Well done boys! 👊🏼🥳
Awesome stuff guys!!
Awesome job!!
thanks for helping out matt, again!
From an engineering point of view I was very impressed the way it all came out, but from experience from offroad racing wheels I once made, the next weakest point was the lug nuts in the rim, so i made 1/8 steel spacers that were bored to clear the hubs, then migg`ed to the back side of the wheel rims then drilled through for the lug bolts.. Never lost a wheel after that, but, Matt as hard as he tries, I dont really see him throwing wheels off/ hope not anyway..lol Thanks for a great Video yet again - Ian - UK.
4:37 ish. Nice bull!!!
Also, it has a neat kicker between the G1 and G2!
Coming from Matt awesome shop you have here man
Welcome!
glad to see you putting the lathe to good use!!!!
Paul you have quite the shop great job
Awww, Matt even polished his yellow banana!
(on second thought: it sounds funny when I read that out loud)
Wonderful job! Since I'm not a gear head I learn from your vids.
What a great shop. And awesome view out the door. It would be easy to hang out there doing jeep work
Two all American families right there. Great content!
+1
Looks great!! Good job yall.
Matt,,, you have a real good friend there!!! especially since he did all of that work for free!!!
Nice. This is on my list for my TJ.
