You gotta figure that a large percentage of the off-road community watches MORR and Fab Rats. Having that dent is the difference between someone saying “nice rubicon. Same color as the one that was rescued” and “DUDE, that is THE rubicon that was the star of the rescue! Mind if I take a few pictures?” If it were my ride, I’d get all those autographs you mentioned then lovingly clearcoat it. I wouldn’t worry about folks saying I had to be towed, I’d quickly remind them that I got it IN there, which is huge in itself.

That had to be one of the craziest off-road recoveries I’ve ever witnessed . I drove a tow truck for a short time and grandpa’s tow truck he is nothing but a beast keep up the great content I even actually caught myself commenting out loud about that last crazy pull, where all three were pulling their hearts out.I think this is the first time that I have mentioned this channel outside of my family and I told two people about it today because it was just so crazy and fun to watch you guys do such a great job

That “Whoa-Go” stuff reminded me of a friend’s story. He was taking his GF for a snowmobile ride. High performance snowmobile. She was in back hanging on, both wore helmets. He took off at a good clip, and he heard her say “faster”, so he fed it the onions. Before long she said “FASTER”, so, realizing he had not impressed her, he throttled up a bit more, the third time he gave it all he could, at which point she slid off the seat, was barely hanging on being dragged, the skis came up into the air, and he almost wrecked before he could get it stopped. “WHAT is WRONG with you?! She screamed”. “You kept saying “FASTER” he said. “NO, she said, I was saying “BA$#TARD”!!!! Story always cracked me up.😆

The wrecker is a beast. Paul is a heck of an operator. The award though, goes to the wrecker's clutch. Awesome work!
