It's way better content than Hollywood could ever produce. Just regular people with family values spinning wrenches and living the dream of freedom while helping others. That is a good life.

Billy is a wise man! Seeing him and Paul is like watching a father and son, so sweet and so much respect going both ways. 🥰

The mutual respect between the two of you was inspiring, I expected nothing less from you - but seeing the respect he showed you back, and knowing it comes from a man who EVERY man could learn something from - made it all the more special. Even the way you helped him off the trailer shows what a true man you are. Many blessings to you both, I hope those in the younger generation watching this are taking notes

Nice sentiment, I totally concur.👍

I love Billy's advise because I learned that at age 50 the hard way. Started completely over and have not looked back. Paul, I have met many a friend that way. Love you guys. I stumbled over you all when you were narrowing the Yota bed and have enjoyed every second since.

The smile on his face reacting to the ride and seeing it is priceless , just priceless!! Awesome to see guys, you all did a great job with it.. puts a big smile in my face too!

Hey... that is exactly what I was going to write here.... "that smile is priceless" I own a 1948 F-1 truck with "some" upgrades and the first time I took a ride on it I had that smile... is priceless

Paul smiling like an idiot is also very wholesome. Rearly see that this means something.

I kinda know how Billy feels. At 79, I have been there done that many times. Was I successful? I think I was. What a great story! Loved every minute. Even shed a few tears. Young folks will never understand, until they reach our age. Thanks Paul and wish I could hug you both. One of the best of Fab Rats. From the flat lands of Central Indiana. God bless you all.

as a man in his 30's realizing he's not 18 anyymore, I feel this in my soul. I just hope i have as good as a story to tell when I'm an old man.

About a month and a half ago I let go of the closest thing to a career I've known to become a mechanic full time. I can't express how good Billy's words made me feel. I wish I could post a picture of the smile on my face! His words make me even more confident that I'm doing the right thing. Thank y'all so much for everything you do, since I found your channel it's been a huge inspiration!

Best regards, may your dreams keep you charging on to be that mechanic we all cherish. My mechanic is old school and he and I both come from a world unknown to many younger folk, but this Fab Rat family sure smells alot like my yesteryear, this is why I'm a fan of the channel. p.s. You know you've found a honest mechanic when he/she tells you that you only need this or that and not the whole banana. (and payment is not the criteria for your repair) Again let me say, "Rock On itzkj13!"

As already said, The smile on his face reacting to the ride and seeing it is priceless!! Not only that, but the hummer and such good advice He gives!! This has to be one of the most touching videos ever.

Billy is a very wise man. When he was explaining the dreams we all have in life and knowing when it’s time to let go of something is extremely hard for a lot of people to overcome. But deep down inside he knew his dreams would be fulfilled by you. You didn’t just rescue a piece of history you made friends for life. That’s the most important part of this story.

Best line. "Look at that role bar! WHOO!" Fing Tear jerkin man. Gotta love the joy and pride put into these old vehicles. My goodness.

You guys are really amazing I just don’t know what else to say!!! God bless you for being true to your word and promising to return with a truly special rig. You made a gentleman and his family life long friends!!!

When two full grown men become two boys having fun thats great to see. Those smiles on there faces are unbeatable. Thanks for the journey that you show. Team fab rats thanks and respect ❤️👍

Man oh man!!! This is why I love Fab Rats, honestly y’all’s willingness to help and genuine care for others really shows. I can always see it but just the look on Billy’s face says it all.. also Billy’s words of wisdom were something remember. Thank y’all for being y’all and doing what you do! Love Fab Rats!

Best and Blessed move I’ve ever seen a builder make. His smile was a mile wide. You grabbed his dream and finished completed it. You and yours have a blessed life together.

Thanks for shaving a few years off Billy’s life. You could see that made his day.

I was only interested in seeing Mr. Conn's reaction but it was super nice to see the big smile on his face when he saw it.

I love everything you guys do but this is my favorite episode by far. Billy is a treasure and you're blessed to know him. It was fun to watch him see and experience what you did with his FJ.

now this is one of those tear jerk moments for sure. the look on Billy's face as he's taking in the details of the FJ is pretty special. then there's his words of wisdom, not a lot of bluster, just good honest truths on life. thanks for sharing this with us here in viewer land!!

Billy is a treat of a guy! Young people need to hang around with the Billy’s of the world! Can learn a lot!

that's amazing. the look on Billy's face. you could see how happy he is nothing like putting joy like that in an old man,you guys absolutely finished a dream for him

Excellent episode. I’m literally crying my eyes out. You and the entire family are such good people. The world would be so much better if everyone was even a little bit as nice as you guys. Love from Duncan in the UK 🇬🇧

Billy is one wise man. It’s great you guys are smart enough to listen to him. It’s a joy to watch you channel.

That bit about knowing what you’re good at and knowing what you’re not good at is probably the most important thing in general.

You made an old man happy. Priceless. Isn’t it funny how life puts you in places you need to be in without knowing you need to be there. Great job guys and michelle

His grin spread faster than the smile on my own face watching his joy , awesome job on the yota Paul ( I've watched every video of you buying and building that rig ) !

the wisdom and representation of life knowledge in this video is off the charts. Seeing 2 generations crashing together like this made my eyes water with a smile on my face. I first started watching Fab Rats because it was an easy watch... but I have learned to love the channel and it's subtle qualities. I wish them all the success and happiness in the world, and protection from all the pitfalls they will have to navigate around.

Thank you for making an old man very happy. And in doing so, made this old man equally as happy. Doing it twice, means doing it right. Thank you from middle England

I can't believe what I just watched !!!!.... it brought tears to my eyes when the old owner of yj was talking about letting a project go to grab on to another....BEEN THERE !!!..... SO heart felt !!!.... great editing Shell !!

You made an old man VERY happy. Just another reason I love to see what you guys are doing. Please just keep being yourselves and doing what you do. You may not believe it but a lot of people like myself LOVE to see REAL people just being real and having a blast doing it. Thanks for allowing me to follow along

I'm glad you guys followed up with Bill, I remember thinking what a fantastic man he seemed to be when you bought the fj, I definitely appreciate the wise words he had to share.

I love that Billy kept repeating that 'you did what you said you would do', Paul. Then he clarified by adding that 'not a lot of people do', which, I am finding sadly getting truer and truer these days!! Great job Fab Rats Team and nice shack!!

Dang guys, you guys are awsome, this one was a tear jerker, his excitement was priceless. You all are doing God's work!

PAUL, This is by far your BEST video of all time!!! You all are so genuine and going beck to show the vehicle off to whom you bought it from is tops!! Then Matt bringing the SHE shed and making himself at home was just topping on the cake! Great video!

Very admireable how you kind folks respect and care for the elders in your life. Awesome thing to do and you could tell he was a very happy man!

Such a guy saying. “You put enough on it, you can.” Seems like I have said to my wife a few times. Paul, that was great taking that Toyota back to that guy. You really made his day. He will have so many more days smiling thinking about what you did rebuilding the Yoda and the ride.

Billy's wise words are inspirational. Thanks for following thru and doing what you said you would do. And thanks for letting us ride a!omg too.

These FJ's are so many people's dream project, really cool to see what Paul has done with it and now this, thanks for letting us see the reunion!

I love his comment “No Ramps”. Where we are going we don’t need Ramps lol. This is such a great video. Thanks for sharing this experience with all of us.

It was so nice to see the joy Mr. Conn had in seeing his truck run again.

I have such TREMENDOUS love and respect for you, brother Paul... You're a damned good man... Brought tears to this old man's eyes how you treated this gentleman and his dream Those boys turn out to be half the men you and Chad are this world will have hope for a little longer Then again any friend of Matt's is solid in my book, his reputation is as impeccable as yours and Chad's... If only I had a little more time I'd love to meet all you absolutely WONDERFUL people of God

The smile on the own owners face is proof that you all are great people. By keeping your promise. Loved the ray Steven's insert aswell.

Loved the look on, not only Billy's face but, more, the look on Paul's. Made me cry. You guys are awesome!

Billy is an example of the wisdom that comes with age. You and the family made his day! I didn’t know Matt delivered tiny homes, trimmed trees and snapped cables! He’s a busy guy! Paul, you and your family are awesome folks!

Billy is a wise man!! Simply amazing guys.

Great show ! It's always good to see someone follow through on their promises. We need more of that these days. 👍

'You know why you give a man a hug? Because you never touch somebody you don't like'. The was the perfect ending to a day spent with a very wise man. I hug my boss that is 25 years younger.

It is great to see good friends enjoying each others company.

Hi Paul and Michelle and family! What a great thing to do to visit that wise gentleman and his family and spend time with them and take him for a ride in the FJ. It was nice to see Matt so comfortable in your home and see the friendly competition you two have. Matt is a wonderful friend and couldn't wait to bring you the merch shack. Fantastic show! Bye from Alberta, Canada :)

Paul I love what you’ve done for an old man’s dreams and I love everything that you and your family do,,i love you guys,,,

That was awesome! Billy Conn is a wise man. Glad that you brought us along when you showed him the FJ!

Really Cool…had to add, I’m impressed by the respect and caring shown toward Billy. A new found appreciation for what is behind Fab Rats, good people make the world a better place.

very heartwarming. I was scared when you started cutting the thing but I love how the FJ turned out. keep up the awesome work.

You made a grown man want to cry in a good way! You put a smile on his face that would take a year to wash off, including the smile that's on my face! Keep doing what you do, we all love it, we all watch the passion you and your family have in helping people in need of whatever it is they need! The bonus is we get to watch the contents of what you love doing! I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Paul, Billy passed you the torch, and YOU my friend, carried it proudly! The gift that Billy gave you was his "Jewel" of an unfinished dream. The gift you gave him back was YOUR finished dream. The respect and wisdom that is shared between YOU and Billy, and all of the other people that cross your path is Priceless. It is an honor to watch your projects unfold right in our living room! It reminds me of a time long ago, when everyone in our family would gather around the old Philco Radio, as my Dad would tune in to hear one of the old shows that would come on weekly. My wife and I scurry to KZread every time a new FabRats Vid comes out to check up on You, Michelle, Grandma and the rest of the family, Plus we get the bonus of the awesome vehicles you build. Best channel on KZread, Bar None! Earl and Jean Harrell

Thanks for being people of your word and making this man's day 👍

You really made Billy a very happy man. So nice of you to do that for him, you guys are the best.

101% wholesome! Been far so long I watched anything on KZread that I actually liked! Thank you for “Wise Words With Billy”! I needed that!❤️

Paul, as a recent sub and going back to watch older episodes just now, Mr. Conn is describing you, he was prophesying your future. You are a full-time fabricator, wheeler, and recoverer, you let go and grabbed onto your passion bringing Ben, Hunter, and Sean along.

This was one of the best videos I have seen in a long time you made that man so very happy to see that you followed through that dream he had. Matt asleep on the couch was the best

The smile on Billy's face said it all he was so proud of you Paul for doing what you said you was going to do from the first video i think he thought you was mad lol 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇬🇧🇬🇧

Paul you’re a good man. You made Billy happy because you are a man of your word. That’s a rare find now days. Nice Job Matt.

That was Oh, so Kool! When you're an old guy like me & Billy, you realize how much of a joy that was for him.

Man. I love seeing the way your passions positively affect everyone around you. This ecosystem of friendship y'all have developed is inspirational.

To see them both smile and enjoy it is amazing!

As someone who has let go of many race cars I built for myself, I would have really liked to see what they have done with them. They all kind of disappeared from my sight. Props to you for taking the time. I am sure he appreciated it.

Thank you for making this video to share the adventure with us. It was special. “I got in it, now I need a parachute to get out!”

I was waiting for this episode. He’s such a great guy.

Great episode! But then again, they`re all great! Love all that you do! Thanks Michelle, Paul, Randle and Ben! And hello Matt, awesome buddy that you are

Paul: a man of his word. Not many of those around these days. Way to go Fab Rats.

Love how you guy's took the FJ to the guy you bought it from! Love all the smile! He loved it like we all do! Always love watching!

Truly a magic moment for Billy, your family and us. Thanks so much for sharing!!

You made the old man happy and made his day nice 👍👍👍

Paul is such a genuine guy it shows a lot in this video. I do almost anything to be able to work and hang out with people like the Fab Rats crew!!! Awesome content man!!!!

That was awesome ,Billy was so humble the smile on his face said it all. Thanks Fab Rats for finally taking us to show Billy his old truck.

Such a wonderful thing you've done. You could easily use your talents to make all the monies, but you choose to use your powers for good. You're a man who is as capable as he is compassionate. Thanks for sharing with us, Paul and family.

Nice to see ya a bit more Michelle. My partner says "The channel has lost something without Michelle's quirkiness. She brings fun to the channel instead of a sausage fest. Also the boys said "Right there" 14 times through the last video and if we were playing a drinking game we would be legless off shots."

What an incredible video. I have fallen in love with that FJ. When they rolled on it a bit during the test drive - simply the best. So much emotion there. I hope you are cruisin in it right now Billy. Thank you for sharing.

Billy speaks the truth and we all know it. Paul, the look in your face during that ride says it all. Your were looking to impress and looking for the reaction in his face. You could tell. The same way a child whos confident shows dad what he did. Full well knowing hes gonna be amazed. That's pride. Real pride.

This such an awesome video! Billy was so pleased that all the Fab rats family (except Ben) came out to Billy's and the ride he got in the FJ made his day! The She Shed is awesome and so sweet of Matt to bring it up to Michelle and Paul. A little damage with the power line, but they came out and repaired it! Awesome family! ☺️

The smiles on both their faces was awesome.

Still beyond disappointed at the guy I sold my Dads Harley too after he passed. Asked him to take some photos of the bikes and send them to us on some trips they take. Never been contacted again. Good on y'all for taking it out to the previous owner and showing him around it.

Thanks Billy and Fabrats for the amazing words of inspiration! Helped me decide to pull the trigger and out my axletechs and 49" tires on my gladiator. Shoot for the stars luckily I work for Matt so I'll be able to use it help you guys in recoveries and fun wheeling trips!

Love the log look on Billy's place and the thermometer next to the door. I'm glad he happy with your build. I'm sure it was different the what he had planned for it. Great video. They are nice folks. Great hospitality.

Love how you drive it on and off the trailer without any ramps

When I was transferred to Corpus Christi, Texas by my company. Sometimes I would catch a job in Houma, Louisiana I would call my best friend up and crash at his home. His daughters would be getting up for school and see that uncle Richard was back sleeping on the sofa. Lol, our families had a lot of memories together.

The old boy face was amazing.. his little dog was like wait where ya going. Running up the round behind them. The loyalty 🐕 great upload paul 👍

It was awesome Billy's smile said it all & so happy . You all have so many cool true freinds & their the hardest to find. She shack looks nice MATT cracks me up . Can't wait for the tow truck Olympics! My prayers are with you all & family & freinds. This was an a fantastic video im happy Billy got to see the YOTA. 🙏 ☮ 💘 😊

His words hit me so hard.... we moved off grid 6 years ago letting our previous safe life go with nothing but a dream.. it is truly great to hear his words confirming that you have to trust and make the leap in life at times.. awesome video

a man only has 2 things in this life ... his family & his word Paul is a stand up guy that lives by his word Thank you for being that guy !!

I must have watched this a dozen times by now, and everytime it del8ghts my how impressed and enlightened by Billy's expressions as he sees his ol ride all fixed up, lol now I'm gonna need a chute, just awesome 👌 well done

This was awesome seeing the look on his gave at the yota coming down the road was priceless and Matt was totally out good to see him get a few winks in I get the feeling Mat doesn't get much off uninterrupted sleep mind you I'm surprised no one got woken up by his entry into the yard. Truely wish I could just pop down to the shack and get merch but shipping my only option for now. Still gotta say the heavy weight hoodie is bloody good for the aussie winter cheers guys 👍🇦🇺

I love how you took basically a wreck and gave it new purpose with a lot of modifications yet it’s still true to the original. A Chevy engine is perfect: the original Toyota six was supposedly based on the old Chevy sixes and a 400 swap was a wicked FJ40 back in the 80’s. Love that truck!!

So rad you got your own trash bags printed FabRats! the look on Billy Conn's face said it all. So stoked how happy he was to see the build Paul. Awesome Merch shack! Excellent delivery and unloading Matt. Can't wait for the Off-road Wrecker Olympics!

pretty crazy that you don't mind fans coming to visit you on you on the property where you live. but given the area and this community it's a lot different from other youtubers welcoming their fans. i think it's awesome you guys rock.

One of the ones we've been waiting for. Very nice to see Mr. Conn's happiness of how it turned out. Thanks for the video.

This was an awesome video. You guys sure made Billy’s day. He was so happy. Awfully nice of you guys everything you did. What a surprise to find Matt there when you got home. Glad you got your merch building. That will be nice. Thanks for a cool video. 👍👍👍❤️

So heart warming to think that there are still people in the world like you. You are so blessed to meet and have all these wonderful people in your life. God bless 🙏

Billy is quite the philosopher! I'm glad he enjoyed the visit and ride. How could he NOT? ☺
