I don't care who you are - Jeep driving itself around in the garage is good content. Nice to see everyone stuck to the same story when grandma asked if the Jeep moved six feet.
I have two brothers. When Hunter said "do you want a pocket knife" to not tell the 'rents I just about killed you, I lost it. That is exactly the sort of stuff that got said. Sometimes I wonder how we all survived.
( Sometimes I wonder how we all survived. ) Me too! Looking back into 1964 my Brother accidentally stabbed me right in the butt-cheek! He was chasing me & trying to poke me in the butt with the knife, I tripped...Brother fell on me and the 'pin-knife' ( a Gentleman's pocket knife ) sank into the flesh! At 73 now...I won't soon forget that...Crazy kids we were! 👈😬👌
Ha, And he never has a pocket knife….So what did he do to his brothers?😅
The real reason Hunter doesn't have a knife!😂
Haha I took at least 2 pocket knife bribes and gave one of my own in my day lol.
And I think the physical dangers we faced as kids are the only reason we survive emotional ones later in life.
aHEM…modern parents…
As the youngest of 4, I can't yell you how many "gifts" my brother's gave me, haha
This episode will be saved in my favorites and forever known as "Don't Tell Mom". I'm super glad Sean wasn't hurt but the conversation it sparked had us doubled over in laughter. (Probably because we've all been there.) You can't buy entertainment of this caliber.
The compression tester should have the core valve installed so that the compression builds during the test not just bounce back and forth, if the tool was sued correctly it would show that there is no big issues like that. Just so you know for next time.
This, it should build pressure and stay at max until the pressure is released.
Yeah, and it'll take a couple compression cycles before the needle hits its highest reading, which is what you want.
Yep. I wanted to jump through the video to help them.
Should it...oh my God thank goodness you said something 🤣
I would 100% watch episodes where Hunter, Ben, and Sean just do odd jobs around the shop/yard together. Good trio that is 👍🏾
Love that idea. They could broadcast them on Monday, Thursday and Saturday
This one’s for Ben, there’s two kind of guys that wire up their cars, ones that had fires and those that haven’t. I’m like you know, I use fuses and relays, and battery and alternator disconnects. Wire gets hot real fast, hahaha.
Love the channel!
Old trick to pull a snowmobile clutch without a puller is to remove the bolt, tip the sled on the side, pour a few ounces of water into the bolt hole and then reinstall the bolt. The bolt will bottom out against the water and pop the clutch off. Remove the bolt, tip the back down and the water drains out. Clutch removed.
I bet it would work on the side-by-side. Cheers!
That clip of the jeep starting in gear is exactly why I spent the extra time to wire the neutral safety switch in my YJ lol. It's a 302 swap with a b&m sport shifter. I sat there thinking it is useless to wire it up since I would never start it in gear. I count 6 times now that I have went to start it in gear and the neutral safety switch has saved me from that exact situation.
13:38 Ever since as a kid doing visiting car washes with my pal for pocket money, and nearly totaling one of the cars into a garage door, pressing or pulling something we ought not have, that started the car - stick shift so parked in gear, handbrake off:- for the last 50-odd years I've always made it a point to check the gear stick for neutral, have one foot covering the brake, the other covering the clutch, whenever I start up any vehicle.
My girlfriend's grandfather the classic very English - English 'Colonel Blimp' type character, took off once starting in a Mini Cooper, right through the wooden garage doors, only got stopped by the workbench and vice at the back, or he'd have gone into the river out the back!
Really surprisingly quick getaway in those old Minis. 🤪
Paul you and Michelle should send Ben Shawn and Hunter on vacation somewhere as a surprise gift for being so dependable on working
And you expect Michelle to agree to thar
@@gregholmes3661 absolutely lol I think she’s an understanding lady who loves the crew for putting grub on their table lol
The compression leak was the tester itself, the valve was dumping the psi after every compression stroke ..usually takes three complete cycles to represent actual compression psi. A bit of lite oil down the spark plug holes promotes sealing also.
Like the old saying " When the Boss is away the Kids will play" lol Always entertaining guys,it's fun to watch you guys in the shop!!And glad Paul n Michelle n family got a lil Holiday too.😊
Shaun's "Cat like" Reflexes kicked in there. New nickname....."Big Cat Shaun"
Back in the day my son that is 27 now when he was 2 just about drove through the house once and the garden the other time. If it doesn’t have a neutral safety switch tackle the keys. No damage was done and lessons learned.
With a DeComp you will be around 80-90lbs. You have to disengage the decompression mechanism to get a true reading!
2:14 Ben vice grip would have eaten that. You should give it a go. Derek ate an old 30 year old candy the other day on his video. I was dying 😂
Im glad Grandma Lolly was there , you should always have at least one adult around...lol
I've heard of raining cats and dogs, but I didn't know bears could rain as well.
OMG 😂🤣👍🏼 Hunter Nailed it "Don't tell Mom & Dad !😮 you want a pocket knife?"😂
Another Great Video Y'all ❤😂
We Love Ben & Sean & Hunter too❤❤❤
These are the things that happen when there are too many irons in the fire, lol. I'm happy that no one got hurt. Be aware that distractions can also cause havoc! I love Fab Rats and only with the best for them! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...
Don't worry hunter I've had that happen a lot. Just messing with everything fixes a problem then your dumbfounded on what you did. What probably happened was the valve was stuck and the leak down tester Jared it back up. It may have a bad valve clip.
This was my exact thought. I know somebody would say it in the comments.
Wow, Paul has such a talented family. The kids break stuff (include Hunter in that lol) and the adults fix it.
Must have had a stuck valve. When you put all the high pressure to it and were rolling it over must have blown it loose "maybe LOL"
Proof that we're all just living the same lives. I have the exact same wiring story as Ben. Fog lights that I wired in highschool. Switch shorted to ground, glowing red, and I ripped it out burning my hands.
Busted by Grand'ma Lolly!!
"It ran, then it sat for a while" Where have I heard that before LOL???
Lovely to see the A1A sign, all us Parrotheads appreciate that touch!
As Ben started his jeep I thought why isn't he checking to see if it's neutral? It wasn't.
And on Hunter's motor starting up , did anyone else notice how much water came out ? Water even came out the 2nd time it started.
Ben -“the struggles of the shop” = time to stop and burn a j to figure out the rest of the day 😂
Yeah Paul, I'm in the Tampa area in the cooler part just a mile off the beach. Heat and humidity is so bad the last few days my A/C is overwhelmed and damaging my ceiling. Can't fix it 'cause it's too hot to work on it. Got to wait till dark. Welcome to "Africa hot"!
You can get Hunter to read the instructions for you!!
Ow!
I love it when a plan almost kills you but you walk away for another day, LOLLL....
I am so envious of your shop! Carry on.
Ben was definitely on that wacky tabacky this episode lol.
Congrats on the upgrades for the Jeep. I hope Ben and Sean enjoyed the change of pace. :-) Paul works you two like a pair of rented mules. Keep having fun, y'all!
Totally had the same run away rig issue when I built my first buggy! Had a friend come over and decided to let him " hear it run". I reached in hit the switch and it launched off the jackstands.... ooops!
If that is the mighty rig that Hunter thinks is going to conquer Paul and Ben's dirt bikes. Well, he's going to need a turbo kit to to just be totally embarrassed. Without one he's burnt toast dust.
nah I think he was talking about his 4Wheeler, I think it's a KTM not sure what size and year it is.
regardless, Paul's CR 500 will eat it up, spit it out, and leave him sitting in a 20 Foot Roost of Dirt and Dust!🤣😆
Ben and Shaun, I have been in that exact situation. Thank God that no one or any equipment was damaged or injured! keep up the great work! you too Hunter.
The look on Sean's face! When the Jeep jumped forward! LMAO!
The most accurate way to compression test is with the throttle wide open. If you don't do that the readings are suspect because the throttle isn't allowing max air in. It's "throttling". lol
So Wise , Thank You . Good to have a brother to call .Vacations are good
I had something similar happen to me, back in about 1979, out in Tulsa, in the dead of winter. Same thing, though I don't remember now what the issue was. Fortunately, traffic was light, and I manged to get that heavy beast (F100 step side long bed) pushed to the curb. Luckily, it was in front of a coffee shop that served free coffee to people who were out of work.
Don't know how many hours it took me, having to stop ever 20 minutes or so to go warm up my hands, but it took a while. Eventually, I got it fixed and was on my way.
I'm glad Ben finally found a welding helmet !! And actually used it correctly instead of for just holding parts ! =))))
you are the second RUclipsrs I watch who have gone to a Buccees this week. The other is The Good Bad and Ugly, a couple who rebuilt a sailboat and sailed it around the Caribbean, and are now doing a van cation during the hurricane season.
Paul needs a Florida wardrobe. Cutoffs, flipflops/sandals with the airy light colored button shirt optional and don't forget the wide brimmed hat.
We had a reprieve today with effective temps down to 114 while Tuesdays effective temps were close to 120 and there have been daily heat advisories. Sweat can't evaporate when its like this so you need to dress for it so you don't stew to death.
Best!
Every Jeep needs some emergency rations stashed in the glovebox...😂
Back in my mechanic days, I was one of the few mechanics I knew that knew how to use, and actually used a cylinder leak-down tester.
The good thing about a leak down tester is that it can pin-point the source of the leak in the cylinder. So for instance, a compression gauge can tell you it has low compression, but the tester can tell you where the leak is coming from.
Blow-by sounds coming out of the dipstick or oil fill says it's rings. Bubbling sounds coming from the radiator says it's a head gasket (or crack in the head or cylinder. You'll hear burbling coming out the exhaust when the valves are the problem. Like Sean's brother says, the valves themselves may not be the problem and knowing those things tend to jump time after the top end has been reworked is a strong indicator.
Thanks for the added input. I’m Sean’s brother and have done mechanics for years and years but still when on camera some things can get forgotten to mention or get edited out. I’m still getting used to using this tool but it has definitely made life so much easier to help test for certain problems.
No emergency room visits or fires = success!
Always funny to think, no matter where you live somewhere else is better. Florida is a great place to visit.
Great Video and Funny. One thing I totally agree with Ben is Nothing better than fresh picked straight out of the garden Peas, Raw or cooked
GOOD JOB EVERYONE!
Ben funny thing is my 1948chrysler has no neutral safety switch and fluid drive transmission and that sometimes happens to me where the car lurches forward and it gives you a shock to the heart ❤️!!!!😂!!
Leak down test :
Put cylinder at top dead center , then add air through spark plug . Should have minimal leakage . Under 10%.
Listen for air leakage out through carb = intake valve leak .
Out exhaust =
Exhaust balve leak.
Out oil fill cap =
Leaking past rings .
Bubbles in radiator =
Head gasket / cracked head .
Oh I like that advice, only say one thing you want to accomplish & be done! I need to do that! I use to list out everything I want to get done & divide it in HALF, then take into account how many times I get interrupted & the heat... so divide that in half & Pray everything goes smoothly. Yup some days I don't get much accomplished. LoL
Paul leaves on vacation and Hunter practice his weld skills. Good for you Hunter i knew you could do it.
Good video! All over the place!
Thank you for sharing! 😊
That’s one way to learn Ben but there is betters ways to not burn up.🤣👍♥️. Safety in wiring should always be considered.
Solo Sean vids are always a welcome surprise.
I absolutely love the intro and outro of storytime thank you editor
Oh Man I wish I knew you were here. I live just up the street. Would have loved to meet all you all. 🙂
Grandma needs to slap hunter and ben across the back of the head Hunter operator error 😂😂😂
Good stuff guys! Thanks for the content.
Raining like a bear? Ben, just how do bears rain?
You guys got some rain and in Orem...sigh...nothing. LOL You guys rock! Ben, you have really fun toys!
Gotta love these old videos we seen clips of already 😂 ps why don't we get to see Paul in his bathing suit 😂
I always put the cylinder at TDC before hooking up the air on a leak down test, it's much easier that way
Tell me you fixed that starter neutral safety switch. That is a dangerous scenario going on you guys! And you're right it's happened to all of us!
All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Have a good week and count your blessings amen.
Love all the crew!! And I mean every one of you in this video! Great content!
Watching Sean compression test. Holey piston Batman! You're brutal on equipment Hunter. 😮 Stabil in the gas, Sean prevents the gas from turning into gum. Modern gas with ethanol does that real quick. The weedwhacker and chain saw I've bought the last couple of years had tags on the gas filler neck saying warranty is void if Stabil is not used. It won't work forever, but it'll give you at least a year.
Good morning!
You guys need to have a secret build when ever paul is away
Like maybe a off rd 3 wheel recovery tricycle with winchs an ropes ect ect tool boxs everything
You could cram on it ha ha
But it would need training wheels too
3:32 - Those girls were SOOOO EXCITED... to be anywhere but there, then.
Great job 👏 guys. I love watching this channel. Down to earth and real life stuff. Keep it coming. 💯
It’s great to see a Fab Rats video. Awesome. Can’t wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld on. Keep Making. God bless.
And Paul just told a story to his mom about starting a vehicle in the shop. Luck no one was hurt or no damage.
😳
I had to expand my garage after a derby car got fired up in gear and made a back door it was cheaper to put a front bay in one side and some extra storage room to brace it back up than to replace a wall I also made it tall enough to have a lift the only real expense was the floor since I had plenty of used lumber and tin from the barns we tore down to build my house and garage
Those rzr motors also have a decompression arm on one of the cams, they can break off, so be sure to check that. Also, these cars have a shim under bucket design, the clearances can be pretty finicky, i had the same issues on mine and once we re shimmed it, it was good to go, now it fires up every time with no issue
With that title I was scared I thought something had happened to the boys, but well greetings from COSTA RICA...as always waiting for your new videos.
That intro had me rolling! 🤣 Comradery builder!
Everyone loves watching Fab rat
Just less than 5 minuets, 1.3k view 😂 soon we shall be hiting 1M less than 20 minuets. I love the way we are so loyal to paul and the crew ❤❤❤🤞🏼
Hopefully in time that will be true as they deserve it, but as of now I believe they only have about 10 videos with over 1m views. but im out here watching videos 5 times trying to do my part.
Ben, I did the same thing with a amp gauge that shorted out and was glowing orange. I had a scar from pulling the wire out to disconnect it. That was a close one. 1969 RS/SS Camaro my first car.
I'm about a half hour away from you two here in Florida. I hope you all stayed cool while you were here. Let me know if you ever need help down here.
Ben, I did exactly the same thing at 18 with a stereo. Turned it on. Smoke comes out from under the dash. Reached under the dash and pulled the wire out and bingo, plastic insulation welded to my hand. 😅 Love the channel!
Hahaha that was hilarious when Ben's Jeep tried to run away 🤣🤣👍
15:13 Hunter lowkey admitting why he never has a knife. He's just accident prone, and as a Cox he has 15,000 siblings and relatives to pay off in knives.
Back when I had a rzr 800 . I welded a few things together & made my own puller & a wooden piece to hold the clutch. I don’t remember now how I made it but it’s easy , y’all can figure one out . Looked like a good week to me , good thing Shawn isn’t flat from being runned Dover ! Lol. I’ll take Utah over Florida thank you .
Awesome video guys. I'm glad nobody got ran over , you guys crack me up. And awesome setup with the welder. That'd be an awesome add on.
Make sure u buy the SHORT puller so u don't have to pull the gas tank!!!!! And check ur valves by pulling the valve cover and watching them rotate if one seems sluggish might have a bad CAM or lifter or maybe a stuck oil relief pin REV 6 sells everything u need local to u!
That motor is gear driven NO chains
Put an oil pressure gauge on that rzr. If the pressure relief dowel is sticking it will over extend the lifter. And it want start.. hth
Hunter always wear comfortable shoes when riding a Polaris. You probably be walking 😂😂👍
The 800 in those RZR engines do not have adjustable valves or a timing chain. Has hydraulic lifters and the cam is in the bottom end, gear driven.
Paul, didn't you have to rebuild that swamp touring thing LAST time you went to florida? lol
Fab Rats really is awesome RUclips reality TV. Hunter really should make himself more of the story where appropriate. He's fun to watch.
Yah he is funny lookn , is that what you mean ? Lol j.k.
Awesome food at The Golden Lion. i dont live that far from there. i watch all three of you reguluarly. Paul, Matt, Robbie you guys are a tight Knit family.
Love watching you guys in the good ole FL! I'm born and raised down in Miami and working on cars outside during the summer is a shorts and no shirt kind of endeavor, its like working underwater LMAO! Hope you guys had fun!
Don't think I would mount the Welder under the hood os because it would be awfully hot under the hood...I have mine mounted on the tub of behind the passenger front seat where it gets plenty of airflow to keep it cool.
Thanks Ben this one got a big chuckle out of me. 😂 Glad I have his channel subscribed so I can still see him.
Thanx for sharing your experience and knowledge Have 👍a Great Day 👍
Paul - get a paper plate and take a black felt tip marker and write "TUIT" on the plate. Now Michelle can't say she hasn't gotten a round "TUIT"! LOL :)
Always check to make sure that the vehicle is out of gear before cranking.
Story time with Spaceman:
I got pulled over on my Hell-Cycle one night. The lady cop said that my headlight wasn't on. I said, "bull-snot! The headlight comes on when I turn the key and crank her." I reached over and turned the key. SAVANNAH (my Hell-Cycle) cranked right up, headlight came on, but she was in gear and took off straight for the cop who was standing in from of the trike. I dove in front and knocked the cop out of the way. Then the other cops that were there wanted to arrest me for assault on an officer. I told the lady cop, "But I saved your life. That trike could've killed you if I didn't jump in." After checking with the owner of the bushes that stopped the trike. He didn't want to press charges and the lady cop said, "Just let him go with a warning." So always check to make sure that the vehicle is out of gear before cranking.
This has been story time with Spaceman.
Neutral safety for a good very good reason 👍.......
