@@FabRats You guys gonna actually visit the shop this month for any projects we care about or has it become just derby garage and tractor racing now, interspersed between your many many vacations/staycations/daycations.
As a recipient of 3 spinal surgeries from the need to "be tough" in my youth, it's always wise to listen to your elders, Landon. Protect your back! Rebuilding it never makes you better than stock.
Every little or I should say every injury no matter how minor or major it might be when young or old adds up overtime ! I know from experience now that I'm 69 !
Not to beat this horse, but listen to these guys Landon. I’m 47 with three wrecked disks in my lower back along with nerve pain in my leg that won’t let me sleep a lot of nights. Take care of your back now, because there’s nothing that can be done to make it better. And watch out on your knees also… that’s another challenge. You can’t hunt elk if you can’t walk, ‘nuf said.
Shaun is absolutely right, though, if he's not careful he's going to absolutely screw his back up by trying that. He's got that young man durability at the moment, but that will pass soon enough.
I agree with everyone who's telling you take care of yourself now. I worked in sawmill when I was 13 offbearing 8" cross ties and when I was 18 I started as a laborer in stone mills . By time I hit 40 I was done my back couldn't handle it anymore!!
HMMWV transfer case is separate from the transmission. Fluids are not supposed to intermix. There is a cooler loop inside of the transfer case that is fed transmission fluid to help keep it cool.
I'm 40 and have had 2 spine surgeries definitely take care of yourself. You could always get a auto immune condition. It might not even be your fault. 😅
Might want see a chiropractor, I have lifted close to a million boxes, cider blocks, car batteries in my lifetime... And even had a car fall on my back when I was 18...It really helps..👍
I think Grampa Sherm looks down and smiles at his old truck and what you transformed it into. Gotta say that Hummer sure surprised me climbing that hill. Those fellas sure were energetic. Sure miss those days. Great video.
That Hummer continuing up that hill from a stop was crazy. Maybe because there is no pumpkin digging into the sand and it also being heavy enough to get the widest patch possible when aired down it can just crawl it? I don't understand. Lol
I still think that we need an episode of Fab Rats x Grindhard building Graydon a mini rock crawler kinda like their power wheels, only probably lower powered for now. Maybe a HF Predator engine or something. Graydon would be the happiest kid in Utah... though he just might have that title already.
I miss driving those things. Slow climber but it will climb it all. Obviously the width and height doesn’t help it much but I never got one stuck. Carried me around Iraq safely in 04.
The red candy is RTV. When it gets hot and mixes with transfer case fluid it becomes hard. The only reason I know is because I’ve worked on these and the operators beat these things like a cabin screen door. So when changing the trans or transfer case they will cake RTV in there for whatever reason.

I love it Sean and Landon mounting the tires for the HUMVEE. Fab Rats learned some things working with this vehicle. The Rat rod has no problem taking on that sand hill it just eats it up! Hunter and Paul were laughing when they made it to the top! Grandma Lolly and the fur baby made a guest appearance.
Hummers built Army tuff, even tuffer when UA-camrs get ahold of them! Landon, take care of your back. It will thank you later in life! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
THankyou!! The first military surplus HUMVEE civilian bought I’ve seen that didn’t put mall crawler 20 inch chrome wheels and straight street tires on! black Rhino makes about every single military beadlock and simulated beadlock style there is. If you buy a military surplus vehicle and change the wheels go black rhino like this and keep the military look while adding a lighter but still amazingly tough ride!
Super video. Shop talk over my head but it made sense after the rigs went to the trail. "Sand crawling" and slowest hill climb ever was hilarious. Great editing and music bed was awesome. Good, no, excellent work guys. You cook!
Our evil corrupt ass gov. Is useless! Unless you want death & destruction & being restricted from everything. Blue lasers used on we the people in Hawaiia !!! Sickening
Hope they don't get away with closing the trail. What they do here in Washington is you drive the trails all year and when you come back the next year the trails have gates and ditches. They sneak it in when no one is watching and of course the media helps by ignoring the story. Its amazing how much planning and (our) money goes into sneaking in these closures, whereas you never see them spend any of our money on improvements. Join the Blue ribbon coalition!!
Landon's a good guy for letting Sean drive the Yota there, and he's also a lot of help there in the garage nowadays,👍, I had him pegged for being a spoiled-brat for sure, but I don't mind being wrong about stuff like that tho,✌😉, great video guys, and thanks for sharing.
Cooler lines tee off to circulate through a cooling loop that is inside transfer. Funny valve in cooler lines is to regulate a surge in line pressure. Note common leeaking from hoses, fix is use fuel line clamps on the rubber hoses or double hose clamp. Red "candy" is anarobic sealant that is supposed to stay soft (also used on portal hub input seal plate). Should be a steel cable that goes from transfer case to crossmember to counter torque twist. Black tubing is vent system that goes up to airfilter housing and a small filter behind it on fire wall. Trans takes 7.7 quarts with filter change.
Great to see youtubers getting together, I watch Ethans channel too, That was a brilliant video, Thank you all for a good time, cannot wait to see what you get up to next
Trails get closed for a couple of seasons so the land can recover. Let your community Establish a Good Neighbor Authority agreement with BLM and form a trail monitoring group to keep people from doing vandalism and making new off-road trails.
You need to phone a friend. The Car Wizard in Newton, KS. David Long was in the military and worked on Hummers. It’s always a treat to watch what goes on in and out of your shop.
The transfer has a little cooler inside that just circulates the cooled trans fluid thru it to cool the transfer case oil. That’s the two lines coming out of the transfer!!!
Is this a piece of candy ? Goes to taste it. It’s kinda sweet ! I was dying laughing. It’s a red anaerobic sealant we use to seal the tcase and transmission together. Good stuff. However anymore we just use gasket maker because the anaerobic sealant is too expensive for the government to purchase 😂. Love watching y’all do this. I have changed so many hmmwv transmissions (especially the 4l80’s) and t cases.
When in doubt, don't Google, ask Chad! Shop cat arguing with the visiting dog LOL But, fantastic video, one of your best; great laughs and stuff in the shop, lots of different and interesting camera angles, drone shots on the trail, outstanding work by the camera people, AND the editors, well done!!!!
That transfer case cooler behind the tire will clog with mud and what ever else the tire throws. Also the tire will pick up a stone and destroy the cooler. Either case it will in turn destroy your t/case.
I've often wondered if the slow creepy crawly technique that was letting the HUMMER make progress on that steep bottomless sand hill would allow a vehicle to make forward, albeit very slow, progress. I'd have also been interested to see if the FJ might have done something similar in its lowest gearing configuration just idling along, but I don't know/recall what kind of gear ratios the FJ has for transmission, low range transfer case, and final drive. Maybe an experiment for the net time the FJ is on that obstacle. But I'm also pretty sure Paul's preferred MO in that situation is "maximum onion and let that V8 roar!" 🤠
People dog on the HMMWV'S, but they really are a pretty incredible design! The engine, Transmission, and T-case are at all the greatest! An LS engine swap, and upgraed drivetrain would make it incredible! I was a 3521 in the Marines, and know them front to back!
The HMMWV has a deep water fording kit that connects all of the vent lines from every thing that holds fluid to a single line that runs up the side of the fording stack (air intake). When the fording valve is closed it uses the crankcase to pressure all of the fluid systems so that water cannot come in through a bad seal. If you drive the vehicle for any length of time with the fording valve closed the pressure can push transfer case fluid out through the fording lines to wherever the weakest seals are, usually the geared hubs. Usually the leaking overfilled hubs are the only way to notice. Make sure the fording valve is open so you dont have the same problem again.
I knew the Hummer would make it up the sand hill! Thanks for having us guys, it was a blast!
It’s always awesome seeing you! Glad you came!

I was that same kid, lol. No surgeries yet but no feeling in my feet and plenty of nerve pains
And we all think oh that will never happen to me because I'm good but you're right it does happen and before you even know it too!

yes and then the tcase chain gets sloppy and you end up with the vampire.
We went to visit FabRats last december and the Barracks trail is one they advised us to hit and it was amazing....Thanks Paul
Out of all the vehicles I drove when I was in the Army, the HMMWV was my favorite vehicle to drive. The other one was the PLS by Oshkosh
LOCTITE GASKET MAKER 515-FLANGE SEALANT- very good stuff
so you are telling me its not beaver dung?
This is the UA-cam cross over we all needed 🎉

Words to Landon don’t mess your back up. You will notice it when you’re older. I’m 40 and already have back problems

Lift with your "legs", not your back.

Lmao. I started roofing at 13 . Carrying bundles of shingles that weighed as much or more than me. .
If you stop using it youll loose it

That transcooler is going to take a beating behind that front tire!!
My old Bronco always had rock chips around the entire wheel well.

Hummers are cool, the FJ is super cool, but that tow truck is the freaking coolest

You should colab with Grind Hard more often. Very entertaining.
the sound of the tow truck climbing that hill was freakin awesome.

That Hummer on the Max sand hill reminded me of the Little Engine climbing the long steep grade who kept saying "I think I can, I think I can!"
That was probably ceviche. Shredded fish or shrimp cooked by marinading in lime juice. Tasty!

Some new trucks have a stuck mode. It very slowly creeps out of stuck situations

The candy is what you call anaerobic sealer. General motors and Humvee use it a lot to seal transmissions to transfercase, pans and etc.
Great job, Hummer's are tough and even tougher to work on .
As long as in 30 or 40 years, Landon warms up He can only make it stronger
Keep up with the good work love watching you on UA-cam God bless
