That you are "normal, everyday people" is one of the biggest draws for me to your and Matt's channels. Guys, don't ever change your format. Don't ever let some production company come in and add drama or other BS. Keep being your wonderful selves.
I was in tears when you were talking about your family and how humble you are for your fans. Just want you to know, it's you who makes us feel humble. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!!!!
I got all choked up when Paul was speaking about his family and how much they meant to him. I’m a father of five kids and spent 25 years deploying or training for missions over seas. I was medically released from the military after my military vehicle was hit. Thank for allow us to enjoy your time with your family doing insane projects.
I love the fact that Paul let others wheel the ride, it's awesome that the boys also wheeled the ride. I hope that they start spending more time in the shop learning and building with Paul.
Paul and Michelle and family appreciate the opportunity you share and hope me watching helps you ! Coming from a outdoors men and motorhead and a man of faith I appreciate you making that known . God bless 🙏🙏 👍👍🇺🇲👍👍🙏
That talk about being home for your family made me tear up ! Not only have you built a kick ass machine in the yota...but you are one amazing father ! Your kids are a credit to you and Michelle
Paul and Michelle. I've never met you, but I feel I know you. I am inspired by your family values, and the business. The world would be a much better place if everyone raised their children the way you have. I come from a pretty broken up family, so it warms my heart to see your kids with a MOM and DAD that truly love them. You have an awesome circle of friends too. A viewer for life.
Until my sisters and I started watching Fabrats and Matt's videos we had no idea driving on rocks was a thing. Yah I'm 15 and a girl but this looks so fun. We watched this and I said, "we need to build some rock crawlers," and my sisters all nodded their heads yes in agreement. Our daddy though said, "there is no way I'm letting you girls do this." So it looks like the Alexander sisters are going to be sneaking around in the barn again...
@@tetedur377 thank you. We have monster sand dunes and rocks here in Michigan. In fact Michigan is the highest point in the U.S. between the Appalachian mountains and the Rocky mountains. The upper peninsula is wicked cool, full of rocks and whatnot...
This would be great to the y’all start off and evolve. And get to a point of having something amazing like RUBY. She has a fantastic rig, and personality to match :)
Hearing Paul talking about finally seeing his kids grow. Got me tearing up. She’s a sweet FJ, love the front end look, more wheelin trips for sure now. and the second dew steal is the best 😄.
After the journey that we've all been so invested in (us viewers, not to mention you blokes) it's really nice seeing the Yota put through her paces but I am missing the fab work and am looking forward to seeing what you're into next! Great to see the Q+A too :)
After seeing the yota more and more I'm liking the rustic/ distressed look. It's the rock crawler version of a ratrod. I know personally for me I wouldn't paint it. Maybe just clear coat it to help preserve it.
Ratrods Rule!!! There's a system of painting rust, then applying a stopper when it's rusty enough and a seal coat and it looks as rusty as you want it too, but with the durability of paint/clear coat...
I've been thinking the same thing - the patina on it is beautiful, most other places in the world that truch would have been a rusted-out shell by now. Curious to see what he has in mind for the paint - Robby is gonna have a really cool canvas to work with.
@@argentum530 Is that like Derek from VGG and his "slighty" flammable finish he puts on once a year? Being in the paint and body trade I've always been trying to remove the rust. Just how do you seal rust without it doing what rust does? Oxidize, and as much as it can...
Man this was so cool , there was some tuff climb's but you had some awesome people with you , and it brought a tear to my eyes when you said you get to spend more time now with the family , a lot of kids don't have that father figure in their lives because I was one of those kids my father told my mom he was tired of having responsibility's . So Paul you keep doing what you do for the kids and wife I tip my Hat to you sir . Love all your videos keep'em coming . ❤️
Hi Fabrats, greetings from Denmark. Your videos have been a lifesaver for me after i broke my leg in November and have been on a very slow recovery since then. I love to build stuff so being away from the workshop for two months has been really annoying. Watching your projects develop and the skills you apply have given me a ton of ideas for what I will do when I get back on two stable legs again. Your approach to the challenges combined with the (mostly unwarranted) humbleness is very refreshing. Looking forward to your next post.
I work in shipyards and I love the people I deal with on a daily basis and you, Matt, Robby and the rest are very much like them so I love all of you too. We, not politicians or pundits make this country a great place to live and we should all remember this!
That thing is working great Paul, even with only 7 cylinders firing, you should be proud! I like the Bleepinjeep sticker holding all the glass together and I’m excited to see the freedom winch line getting put to work! Keep it up!
The joy on Graydens face alone makes these videos gold. Love this build Paul, you, Michelle, your family, and extended family are making a difference for us mere mortals.
I like how Paul says “ I’m happy so far”. Knowing full well he already has plans going through his head on how he can make upgrades and make it even more capable. Can’t wait to see the videos of the upgrades he does after this off-road excursion and figuring out what does and does not work. Thanks for another good video
Paul the reason a lot of people are interested in what you do, you are just a regular down to earth guy, sharing what you love to do. There is nothing better than that.
No drama, no politics, just people enjoying each others company. Haven't seen this many smiles in one video. As they say "You are good people". Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
Love the Q&A portion of your jamboree event. Great to hear down to earth, God fearing and blue collar people living the American dream. You've done well Paul and Michelle. Oh and Randall has been an awesome addition to the team. Enjoyed his commentating during the filming. Job well done!!!
You and Michelle have an awesome channel here Paul. It's us that should be thanking you for a clean family oriented channel. You keep it interesting and I for one am usually on the edge of my seat watching you conquer the rocks. Thank you for letting us join in your family fun. You, Michelle and your family take care and stay safe out there.
Your son on your lap drive brought back a 60 yr old memory of me on Dad's lap, going down the road in his studebaker truck, driving. Your entire family is awesome.
Your and Matt's channel are crown jewels in the crown of off roading. The gold nugget is going to be awesome. I love your work ethic and American know how. You deserve all the success you've worked for. No participation trophys needed.
You brought a tear to my eye when you said how you get to spend time with your family now. I think that's great. You make great videos and cool rigs. Keep it up, you're on a roll. You make it nice cause you do it twice 😅
I absolutely love seeing all of you guys together. After watching MORR, FabRats, & TrailMater for a while, I'd have to say the knowledge, experience, and plain ole common sense in this group, won't be found anywhere else!! That's a group I'd pay to get to hang out with, great people!!! Keep up the great work....and GREAT VIDEOS!!!
Love you guys, even though I don’t know you guys personally. You all have great families and awesome friends. I watched Matt’s first, then found you guys through them, and now I watch Robbie’s as well. Thank you for allowing us to watch you all grow and learn, as we learn from your stories as well.
My favorite part of the video was watching Graydon sit in his dad's lap and learn the rock crawling technique, reminds me of myself sitting in my grandfather's lap some 65 years ago in a 1947 Crosley. You guys are so humble and worthy of admiration, keep up the good work and stay safe!
Well done Michelle, great editing. And wow, does that look like fun. So cool to see the kids getting to try the crawler as well. Paul, you have a great family there and love the channel.
At the risk of sounding like an old softy, I loved all the family and friends on the trail. Especially when everyone was taking turns in each other's vehicles. Plenty of heartwarming moments. Thank you.
Paul, a total win-win all around! You get to hang out with your kids and wife, and all that wonderful stuff, do what you do best, have them shadow you and learn some life skills, pick up some knowledge along the way, all while we enjoy watching you have fun and figure things out as you go. I love the impromptu work, of just trying something, see the gears turn in your head, and then try something else instead until it gets finished. Content over quality every day. Some people worry about looking good or setting up the lighting or what-not. And the most important thing is to just be yourself, do what you do best, and have all your true self just come through the camera.
The yota and morrvair are the coolest 4x4 builds I think cause of their classic bodies. The rarity and oddity of them is awsome. When form and function come together.
Watching you and your son took me back a bit . Thats how I learned to drive and how my kids started . Sitting on my lap and steering on the back roads . The best way to learn how is to do it and fix your own mistakes as you go all under some kind of supervision (adult implied but not always present lol) . Thank you all for what you do .👍
I can only imagine the pride and excitement of wheeling your own creation of dreams and hard work. I hope it met all of your expectations cause it met mine. Thanks from Alberta for allowing us to watch the adventure.
Mr. & Mrs. Fab Rats; you're making memories that your kids will never forget. So glad you are able to spend so much time with your family. A Lotta kids never have that chance. You are blessed!!! God bless you, prayers for y'all and thank you so much for bringing us along via your wonderful videos. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Dear Paul and family. In this very time and place, right now on our globe with all the different social media, messing with young kids heads, we need a channel like yours (and Matt). Love you more each passing day. It’s easy to see from the videos that your family behaves in a peaceful way. Love to watch how your kids comes in to the shop dreaming up stuff like their dad. So in your own words “we are just ordinary people”, it’s a great inspirational boost for the rest of us.
Seeing Landon take it for a spin must've been awesome. I have son his age named Landon, I know how that made me feel just watching it. You guys are awesome. Love from New York.
Wow what an episode episode four was awesome seeing Jamie and Michelle showing their newfound skills of rock crawling in seeing the boys doing their thing that is awesome great great video I can’t say enough about Paul’s comments at the expo you’re very humbling we love your you guys great entertainment and maybe one day we can all join you peace be with your brothers and sisters, oh yeah before I forget I had one comment I wanted to make about the appearance of your rock crawler it’s awesome just like it is I don’t know if you plan on painting it or not but I think it stands out just as it is maybe a clearcoat that be about it that would be my thinking it’s a beast no doubt.
From an Aussie down under, you guys rock!.. I just love the friendship and passion amongst not only your family, but friends as well. Love love love the toyo! Such a well build beast!
I'm new to actually 'following' any specific UA-cam channel and I stumbled across Fab Rats when they started the Golden Nugget build. I really enjoy the easy going personalities of both Paul and Michelle, their interactions with their kids and the only drama is what's for lunch? I appreciate how Paul builds stuff by eye, he uses the leveler and triangle square tool when need be, he sees it in his mind and builds it. If it doesn't work right, he fixes it. I saw something in this clip that made me appreciate him all the more. Paul was speaking at the Jamboree and the humble way he shared his faith proved why I enjoy the way he goes about his day. Keep building and I'll keep watching.
What a great speech man.. really moving to see all the family emotions run high.. proud to support and watch u guys... keep up the great work and family time!!
I just love how honest, humble and wholesome, your family, friends and community that you wheel with are, brilliant. I love this channel and the people in it. Thank you so much.
Paul is a great dude!!! This video in particular showcases that over and over! Great father for sure, even better than his fab skills! Call me impressed!!!
I think that was really cool of you to let a few drive your rig. I really felt you when you talked on stage about becoming a UA-camr. Someone couldn't fake a story like that.. I see that in a lot of ways a blessing for you.. God Bless
Glad to see all your hard work on the FJ45 come to real use! You all are great people and glad to see all the friendship you all have while the rest of the world can not seem to get along in the crazy times we are all living in!
Paul is such a calm and confident teacher when he is walking people through an obstacle. I'm a person that prefers my wild place pristine but I sure do appreciate the skill it takes to build and drive these vehicles, I've come to understand that people recreate in public lands in different ways and there needs to be places in our public lands for everyone to enjoy them that way that they prefer to so long as they don't leave a bunch of trash and are reasonably respectful and stay on the trails.
I got hooked into your channel from my other half, now we both watch it. While you thanked everyone for watching, it's you & your family/friends who make it enjoyable. The knowledge, the fun with family/friends, the oops, your kids' projects, Michelle's "guess the part" (I bet she knows more than ya think!😁), etc. Can't wait for the Golden Nugget to be done.
This whole crew is made up of such great, wholesome folks. Thanks for providing this content. Hard work, patience, capability, fun, family, faith, etc. My son and I watch all of your episodes.
That was awesome! Loved every minute of that and had a blast watching it with my kids. NY doesn’t have that kind of terrain but we are headed out for a different kind of fun on the snowmobile!
Awesome crawling ! Imagine what it will do with 8 cylinders. It’s fun watching you all get so much enjoyment from your toys. . Nice of Paul to let everyone have a turn. Excited to see it finished as well as the Morrvair and Nugget. Can’t wait to see Ed’s face when he gets the Nugget back.
I cant pretend like the rc rock crawlers I build are anything compared to this awesome ride. But they make the same bfg tires, and they do the same thing.....hook. Thank you as always for the entertainment. An inspiration to us all
Excellent content! Normal, Humble people of Faith filming, so normal people like myself can enjoy watching. Keep up the good work Paul and Michelle. 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇺🇸
Congrats Paul, nice work. I love way it looks and sounds. Amassing machine! I think it awesome how your whole family and friends were involved in building it and you let them have a spin at the wheel. Your talk about having the U Tube channel and how it has changed your life. Very heart touching and proclaiming your faith. Machelle, you have a great guy there. I can't wait to see more great things you will do, that you haven't even thought of yet!
Brings a big smile to me when father is teaching young son. Hopefully they'll do the same for their kids to and grandpa daddy and grandma will enjoy seeing them that (at that time when it comes).
People don't just watch because they like what you do....there are a lot of options. People watch you because they like you. You and your family are genuine. Thanks for sharing.
It’s amazing the places these rigs will go. Fantastic work, Paul! It’s been awesome seeing the evolution of your FJ. I look forward to see where you go with it!
Another great video, seeing you include your boys makes it that much better. It looks like Randell was missing out, he should have been hanging out with Rubi.
Paul you're not like everybody else... You're driven and passionate good family people... What comes through your videos is a good life and folks want to have a piece of that too. Yeah it's about fabrication and rock crawling and manly man stuff. And maybe a lot of people don't even know what they're seeing on a deeper level. It just feels good to them. I hope you're proud because I think you deserve to be. And in just a couple of weeks I thoroughly enjoyed watching many of your videos back to back to back. Partly cuz I'm a gearhead and partly cuz you make me smile. I hope you guys keep posting forever! Best wishes... Jeff 👍
Love you guys and appreciate everything you do wish I could meet you guys hopefully one day. I could feel the emotion in Paul's voice when he was talking. I love the family oriented channel with amazing builds
epic video- fantastic rig! right now, it already looks like an amazing RAT ROD.. thought about keeping that natural patina with some cleaver paint mods? could be very cool!
I wish we had that type of rock crawling terrain in Australia. All those machines are awesome. I love your videos and think you and your family are awesome.
Seeing that truck in person made my day. Videos dont quite do it justice for how cool its turning out. It was also great to meet you and get some Fab Rat gear.
It's all about Love. ❤ It's clear that you love to build, you love to wheel, you love having great and memorable experiences. It's also very easy to see you all love your fans. Most importantly, you are unashamed to love God and your family. Undoubtedly, that's why we love y'all. Keep on keepin on!
That's some great rescue footage of Paul getting Rorry out, really, with the wind blowing and sky background. And God bless your family, sharing your life helps a lot of people to feel good in these trying times, thanks again for sharing.
Love that you started your first UA-cam channel to share with friends and family that's the same reason we started ours. It was awesome to meet you guys at winter 4x4 jamboree. We definitely enjoyed getting an up close look at the FJ that is one awesome rig that you built.
Wow! Wow! That rig is proving to be a real highlight. See It really drew the People too looking it over. I personally must Say the top two now seen here are most defiantly the MORRVAIR & The YOTA!. I's sure if Mr. Toyota was still alive, He would bee proud of The FJ-45 You Built.
I hope you guys realize it is your faith and love in your interactions that draw ppl to yours and Matt's channels. A very hard thing to find in today's world. ( My husband and I are 4 wheel enthusiasts in the Ozarks of MO. The west is on our bucket list.)
Now that little man has gotten a taste he'll be wanting to mod out that go cart to crawl with. Awesome to see the fj doing what it does and doing it really well. Ya'll all made it look so easy. Now to find Michelle the right rig and get keeps to sponsor it so we'll have his and her trail rigs!
I'm so happy that you've been able to make the transition job wise while your kids aren't fully grown yet. You and they still have lots of years where you're home every afternoon and night. One of the best fabricators and an awesome dad.
Paul, excellent video of the FJ45 on its maiden work out, just imagine if all the auto manufactures put in the same amount of thought into designing a car or truck to standup to the tortures that you put the FJ45 through, and in the same amount of time designing and building, we would have some awesome vehicles to use for work and pleasure.
@@jackmoyer2174 Jack, they would be one dependent vehicle though. Paul definitely built a strong frame unit to take that type of abuse and still run without welds breaking or parts failing.
The Jamboree videos just keep getting better! These rock crawler machines are just amazing. My mind is completely blown. Paul, great to hear your faith testimony. No surprise though.
Wow, that was some tough terrain! Rory is a glutton for punishment, it appears. It was nice to see the young lads driving Paul's FJ, not to mention the ladies! What a great time everybody had! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video! I appreciate so much Paul's response to the question about his faith, and I appreciate your keeping it as part of this video and not editing it out! HE promises to bless those who are not ashamed of Him. Praying for God's richest blessings on you all!
That you are "normal, everyday people" is one of the biggest draws for me to your and Matt's channels. Guys, don't ever change your format. Don't ever let some production company come in and add drama or other BS. Keep being your wonderful selves.
You spoke my exact thoughts. Just keep it simple, clean and home grown.
This comments needs 100K thumbs up.
Yes I agree, love Paul and Matts channel just as they are. Please never go Hollywood on us. Lol
I love all the content of both channels and especially the family atmosphere
Yes Please. and don’t become CNN or Political!
I was in tears when you were talking about your family and how humble you are for your fans. Just want you to know, it's you who makes us feel humble. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!!!!
Well said Mike 👍
I can relate ..ty sir
Yeah who put that sad song in there! had to fight back the tears myself lol.

I can only imagine the pride and excitement of wheeling your own creation of dreams and hard work. I hope it met all of your expectations cause it met mine. Thanks from Alberta for allowing us to watch the adventure.
Mr. & Mrs. Fab Rats; you're making memories that your kids will never forget. So glad you are able to spend so much time with your family. A Lotta kids never have that chance. You are blessed!!! God bless you, prayers for y'all and thank you so much for bringing us along via your wonderful videos. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Dear Paul and family. In this very time and place, right now on our globe with all the different social media, messing with young kids heads, we need a channel like yours (and Matt). Love you more each passing day. It’s easy to see from the videos that your family behaves in a peaceful way. Love to watch how your kids comes in to the shop dreaming up stuff like their dad. So in your own words “we are just ordinary people”, it’s a great inspirational boost for the rest of us.
Seeing Landon take it for a spin must've been awesome. I have son his age named Landon, I know how that made me feel just watching it. You guys are awesome. Love from New York.
Wow what an episode episode four was awesome seeing Jamie and Michelle showing their newfound skills of rock crawling in seeing the boys doing their thing that is awesome great great video I can’t say enough about Paul’s comments at the expo you’re very humbling we love your you guys great entertainment and maybe one day we can all join you peace be with your brothers and sisters, oh yeah before I forget I had one comment I wanted to make about the appearance of your rock crawler it’s awesome just like it is I don’t know if you plan on painting it or not but I think it stands out just as it is maybe a clearcoat that be about it that would be my thinking it’s a beast no doubt.
From an Aussie down under, you guys rock!.. I just love the friendship and passion amongst not only your family, but friends as well. Love love love the toyo! Such a well build beast!
I'm new to actually 'following' any specific UA-cam channel and I stumbled across Fab Rats when they started the Golden Nugget build. I really enjoy the easy going personalities of both Paul and Michelle, their interactions with their kids and the only drama is what's for lunch?
I appreciate how Paul builds stuff by eye, he uses the leveler and triangle square tool when need be, he sees it in his mind and builds it. If it doesn't work right, he fixes it.
I saw something in this clip that made me appreciate him all the more. Paul was speaking at the Jamboree and the humble way he shared his faith proved why I enjoy the way he goes about his day.
Keep building and I'll keep watching.
There's always something magic about watching a friend wheel your rig. Sharing is caring.
What a great speech man.. really moving to see all the family emotions run high.. proud to support and watch u guys... keep up the great work and family time!!
I just love how honest, humble and wholesome, your family, friends and community that you wheel with are, brilliant. I love this channel and the people in it. Thank you so much.
Hello how you doing?
Paul is a great dude!!! This video in particular showcases that over and over! Great father for sure, even better than his fab skills! Call me impressed!!!
I think that was really cool of you to let a few drive your rig.
I really felt you when you talked on stage about becoming a UA-camr. Someone couldn't fake a story like that.. I see that in a lot of ways a blessing for you.. God Bless
Great video, loved the vocal input. This is a great family channel.
Glad to see all your hard work on the FJ45 come to real use! You all are great people and glad to see all the friendship you all have while the rest of the world can not seem to get along in the crazy times we are all living in!
Hello how you doing?
Paul is such a calm and confident teacher when he is walking people through an obstacle.
I'm a person that prefers my wild place pristine but I sure do appreciate the skill it takes to build and drive these vehicles, I've come to understand that people recreate in public lands in different ways and there needs to be places in our public lands for everyone to enjoy them that way that they prefer to so long as they don't leave a bunch of trash and are reasonably respectful and stay on the trails.
I think you need rock sliders on your drip rails....LOL....Great job!!!
He's still gotta build the cage - not sure if it's gonna be inside the cab or around it.
I got hooked into your channel from my other half, now we both watch it. While you thanked everyone for watching, it's you & your family/friends who make it enjoyable. The knowledge, the fun with family/friends, the oops, your kids' projects, Michelle's "guess the part" (I bet she knows more than ya think!😁), etc. Can't wait for the Golden Nugget to be done.
Grayden enjoyed his time at the wheel...good bonding.
This whole crew is made up of such great, wholesome folks. Thanks for providing this content. Hard work, patience, capability, fun, family, faith, etc. My son and I watch all of your episodes.
Me too! Well spoken.
That was awesome! Loved every minute of that and had a blast watching it with my kids. NY doesn’t have that kind of terrain but we are headed out for a different kind of fun on the snowmobile!
Awesome crawling ! Imagine what it will do with 8 cylinders. It’s fun watching you all get so much enjoyment from your toys. . Nice of Paul to let everyone have a turn. Excited to see it finished as well as the Morrvair and Nugget. Can’t wait to see Ed’s face when he gets the Nugget back.
I cant pretend like the rc rock crawlers I build are anything compared to this awesome ride. But they make the same bfg tires, and they do the same thing.....hook. Thank you as always for the entertainment. An inspiration to us all
Excellent content! Normal, Humble people of Faith filming, so normal people like myself can enjoy watching. Keep up the good work Paul and Michelle. 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇺🇸
What a great group of UA-camrs, Paul, Matt, Robby and Rory!! I love watching all of you!
I love seeing the FJ being put to work, must feel amazing to have it out on the trials :D
Congrats Paul, nice work. I love way it looks and sounds. Amassing machine! I think it awesome how your whole family and friends were involved in building it and you let them have a spin at the wheel. Your talk about having the U Tube channel and how it has changed your life. Very heart touching and proclaiming your faith. Machelle, you have a great guy there. I can't wait to see more great things you will do, that you haven't even thought of yet!
Brings a big smile to me when father is teaching young son. Hopefully they'll do the same for their kids to and grandpa daddy and grandma will enjoy seeing them that (at that time when it comes).
People don't just watch because they like what you do....there are a lot of options. People watch you because they like you. You and your family are genuine. Thanks for sharing.
Some of the most insane rock crawling I have seen great job!!
Paul. Seeing your stuff on UA-cam has helped me change my life. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
It’s amazing the places these rigs will go. Fantastic work, Paul! It’s been awesome seeing the evolution of your FJ. I look forward to see where you go with it!
Hello how you doing?
Another great video, seeing you include your boys makes it that much better. It looks like Randell was missing out, he should have been hanging out with Rubi.
😆
Paul you're not like everybody else... You're driven and passionate good family people... What comes through your videos is a good life and folks want to have a piece of that too. Yeah it's about fabrication and rock crawling and manly man stuff. And maybe a lot of people don't even know what they're seeing on a deeper level. It just feels good to them. I hope you're proud because I think you deserve to be. And in just a couple of weeks I thoroughly enjoyed watching many of your videos back to back to back. Partly cuz I'm a gearhead and partly cuz you make me smile. I hope you guys keep posting forever! Best wishes... Jeff 👍
Love you guys and appreciate everything you do wish I could meet you guys hopefully one day. I could feel the emotion in Paul's voice when he was talking. I love the family oriented channel with amazing builds
epic video- fantastic rig! right now, it already looks like an amazing RAT ROD.. thought about keeping that natural patina with some cleaver paint mods? could be very cool!
I wish we had that type of rock crawling terrain in Australia. All those machines are awesome. I love your videos and think you and your family are awesome.
Seeing that truck in person made my day. Videos dont quite do it justice for how cool its turning out. It was also great to meet you and get some Fab Rat gear.
Hello how you doing??
It's all about Love. ❤
It's clear that you love to build, you love to wheel, you love having great and memorable experiences. It's also very easy to see you all love your fans. Most importantly, you are unashamed to love God and your family.
Undoubtedly, that's why we love y'all.
Keep on keepin on!
Having never done rock crawling, it always amazes me what these vehicles can do with a skilled driver…
Hello how you doing?
The Yota is a beast! Nice hearing you talk about faith, one of many reasons I love your channel! Keep the videos coming, thanks for sharing!
Man....this makes me want to fix up my truck as a rock crawler! Keep it up guys!
That's some great rescue footage of Paul getting Rorry out, really, with the wind blowing and sky background.
And God bless your family, sharing your life helps a lot of people to feel good in these trying times, thanks again for sharing.
Love that you started your first UA-cam channel to share with friends and family that's the same reason we started ours. It was awesome to meet you guys at winter 4x4 jamboree. We definitely enjoyed getting an up close look at the FJ that is one awesome rig that you built.
That fj is an absolute unit! You built it very well, great job paul!
Hello how you doing?
Such a sweet rig Paul! Great job on the build!!
Wow! Wow! That rig is proving to be a real highlight. See It really drew the People too looking it over. I personally must Say the top two now seen here are most defiantly the MORRVAIR & The YOTA!. I's sure if Mr. Toyota was still alive, He would bee proud of The FJ-45 You Built.

I hope you guys realize it is your faith and love in your interactions that draw ppl to yours and Matt's channels. A very hard thing to find in today's world. ( My husband and I are 4 wheel enthusiasts in the Ozarks of MO. The west is on our bucket list.)
Now that little man has gotten a taste he'll be wanting to mod out that go cart to crawl with. Awesome to see the fj doing what it does and doing it really well. Ya'll all made it look so easy. Now to find Michelle the right rig and get keeps to sponsor it so we'll have his and her trail rigs!
What fun everyone had and your videos are great. Thank all of you, Fab Rats, Matt's Off Road Recovery, Robby Layton. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hello how you doing?
Awesome to see everyone out there having fun. But love how everyone helps each other and let others drive there rigs.Grat jod fad rats
Great video, from beginning to end...love the adventure and love the dedication to family....looking forward to the next saga....all the best!
Paul and Michelle, as well as, all of team Fab Rats, make me smile. Congratulations on a job well done.
I'm so happy that you've been able to make the transition job wise while your kids aren't fully grown yet. You and they still have lots of years where you're home every afternoon and night. One of the best fabricators and an awesome dad.
Hello how you doing??
Awesome video Michelle does stellar work on the editing.
Hello how you doing ?
Paul, excellent video of the FJ45 on its maiden work out, just imagine if all the auto manufactures put in the same amount of thought into designing a car or truck to standup to the tortures that you put the FJ45 through, and in the same amount of time designing and building, we would have some awesome vehicles to use for work and pleasure.
Yeah, but then they wouldn’t break so easily and need replaced!
@@jackmoyer2174 Jack, they would be one dependent vehicle though. Paul definitely built a strong frame unit to take that type of abuse and still run without welds breaking or parts failing.
Ya'll take those thing to amazing places! Thanks so much for letting us see your adventures!
Hello how you doing?
The Jamboree videos just keep getting better! These rock crawler machines are just amazing. My mind is completely blown. Paul, great to hear your faith testimony. No surprise though.
Wow, that was some tough terrain! Rory is a glutton for punishment, it appears. It was nice to see the young lads driving Paul's FJ, not to mention the ladies! What a great time everybody had! Thanks for sharing.
Your channel is becoming one of my favorite channels. Your video editor does an outstanding job! 😉
Hello how you doing ?
All your hard work has paid off, that looks like so much fun, can’t wait to see the paint scheme you have for the FJ. Have a Blessed week end.
Hello how you doing???
Excellent content Paul! Appreciate all the effort from the whole team!
Thanks for the video! I appreciate so much Paul's response to the question about his faith, and I appreciate your keeping it as part of this video and not editing it out! HE promises to bless those who are not ashamed of Him. Praying for God's richest blessings on you all!
The capabilities of these vehicles never ceases to amaze me. It's ton's of fun to watch. Thanks for your effort to share this with the "rest of us".
