Paul, I'm going to tell you one thing about what you're doing. And it's not about the money or the popularity or fan fair. It's you being the leader of your family and giving great guidance to all the young men you got over there. The things you are doing for those youngsters will be some of the best memories they will ever have. I grew up without a father, so I can attest how important you are to your family. Keep up the great work, brother.

Why fix it. This way you don’t have to worry about scratching it and messing up a pretty looking vehicle. Make it a semi reliable off roader and call it a day

Being that it is red and it is rough, the name "Road Rash" came to mind. Looking forward to what the future holds for this wounded machine.

It’s easy to tell how much Paul likes Hunter. It feels like he’s become another son to him now and treats him just like his own. I had uncles who treated me this way when I was his age, and it was special and I still have great memories of working with them and them teaching me stuff and helping me fix my stuff while teasing me a bit along the way. Hunter is a lucky guy and will appreciate it someday even more than he’ll know.

Paul mentoring these young men is heart warming. Sherm must have been a great father too.

As an older Dad just wanted to say thanks for taking all the younger guys under your lift, as others have said your teaching them lifelong skills and understanding. Today’s kids just don’t have the shop and automotive desire that my generation had and it’s good to see you showing the ones around you the ups and downs of car stuff. And also keeping some family fun stuff mixed in. Well done Fab Rats and Paul.

Lmao for the fact Paul says it's fine in the whole video kills me...love it 😂

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys do with Hunter's new ride and Michelle's Commando. Thank you for the hospitality on Monday when we stopped by even though you guys were super busy and had a lot to do. It shows your and your families true character and why you have so many followers. Next time we stop by it will hopefully be in the Willy's wagon!

Hunter's newly acquired Jeep should be called IT'S FINE!

Greetings from a small town in South Africa Paul and your team. Started watching your channel when I was in isolation with Covid and have remained a firm fan since. Enjoy the humour and find it fascinating what you can fabricate. Long may your channel continue.

I think "Radio Flyer" is the perfect name for Hunter's jeep. He just seems like a lil red wagon kind of guy. 😉😂

Greatest teacher's EVER! THANKS TO FAB RATS, I just cut my first ROUND-ISH metal cut with a death wheel. I didn't know they cut anything but straight till I watched Fab Rats. Life changer. Thanks guys, Jerry Rigging is MY LIFE. WELL AND JESUS.

"It's fine!" is the optimistic motto of a guy who ain't canceling his trip - can't wait for the wheelin vid and see how it turns out

Professional video productions take months, years and occasionally decades. If you have media to run through and never ever show it. It's entirely up to you. Throwing something together only works if you're making a mud castle. Pretty sure most of us enjoy your content no matter the situation. Hope some day you have enough content that you can take an extended vacation. Most Influencers don't seem to understand how to manage time properly. Hunter needs to get some big rig training. Mirrors are on vehicles for a purpose. Of course that's kind of why ground guides are used. So love the absence of expletives. They just grate on the senses. Thank You so much for using proper safety equipment. Welding Helmet, gloves and smock. It's so easy when you get into the habit of using proper PPE. Very satisfying to watch.😃

As always great content. Love that Hunter is learning to build his own rig. Can't wait to see how the trip goes and and excited to see Michelle's build.

This video is entitled... "It's fine, that's fine, she'll be fine, everything is fine!" Love our Fab Rats!

It’s fine 😂😂🤣 Famous last words. Have fun boys.

If you get to articulation make sure you disconnect that front sway or you'll likely destroy the downlinks. Bring yourself the tools needed to take the center console out, at that age those little plastic clips that keep the transfer cast shifter on, love to brake. Watch that trans temp if it's an auto. Idler pulleys love to go very quickly. You'll find out quick JK steering is anemic at best. Have fun!

Feel excited for Hunter. He’s Soooo Lucky to know Paul, cuz it would’ve been expensive to do all that’s going to be done on the Jeep. Lucky Paul for doin your Pre-check on the FJ.🤙😎

Red Rocket is a good name. Hunter has a heavy right foot, and he will probably send it flying one day.

Hunter's Jeep is reminding me of the 94 chev. pickup I bought. Lots of little things not working the way they should. Fix a thing or two and then there's a couple more to address!! Good luck on your wheeling trip!!!

The best part about Hunter's new Jeep is he's not gonna lose any sleep over scratching it. . Honestly that's the best kind of Jeep to get you don't mind tearing into it.

If Hunter is driving it, it should definitely be a Barbie Jeep

Paul, at first I had to laugh a little, the appropriate name for the Jeep. "Paul's enlightenment Respect Paul, you help the young people, so much. you all are contact persons, talk to them well and are role models for the "children". Wonderful. I wish you from all my heart, continue so much success, keep it up. Best regards from Frankfurt.

Paul, I like your saying, "It's gonna be fine..." I have a Jeep 2016 Wrangler JKU Willys and I have been learning about the maintenance of it (watching tons of KZread videos). I have been enjoying taking it off road here in PA at off road parks like AOAA and Rausch Creek. My Jeep came with a Hardtop and recently found my OEM Soft top on Craigslist. Nice magnetic flashlight. Have fun off roading on your trip in CA. Great videos as usual.

Hunter when trying to loosen a hex head bolt/plug like the oil plug try using a six point wrench or socket. That way there is less of a chance of rounding the head off. Also if you use a socket you can use a long breaker bar so you don't have to risk bruising your hands or sacrificing some flesh when the wrench slips off. You have a great project there. I look forward to see how it comes along.

6point wrench and palm impact buck up a little.

You need to show Hunter how to use a second combination wrench for extra leverage so he doesn't damage his delicate hands.

Hunter looks pretty happy to have his own Rock Rig, and Seems pretty excited to get some mods on it! Cool to see! #BuiltByBo

I love when Michelle shows up in the videos. Michelle you’re hair is always beautiful, today it was stunning. This show is so fun for my husband and I to watch. May just be my favorite.

6 quarts for sure, I've changed the oil in my JK a couple of times without a lift. Im 64 & if I can do it myself, Hunter can do it himself. Make sure you get the correct oil filter, air filter & cabin filter.

You guys are so much fun to watch. Keep on doing what only you can do 😉 and don't worry it's going to be fine 😂

Hunter...from Alliston, Ontario, Canada...love that the FabRats family have welcomed you as part of the family. Just watching your newest project. So sending you a suggestion for a name for your Jeep. I'm thinking "Resurrection" would look good on the sides of the hood and this would tell the story of your build.

Red Rolling hood is the name of that heap lol

I think keeping the build simple is the way to go. The Mopar V6 makes plenty of power for wheeling, and with some upgrades, the stock axles can handle 35s or 37s. A mild build will be much easier to keep reliable than doing an engine and axle swap.

Hunter is such a good young man. He will learn a lot from the Fab Rats crew.

Paul, I enjoyed meeting briefly last Saturday on our way through on our motorcycle. We took your suggested short cut by Pink Corral Sand dunes State park. Then my motorcycle died. We ended up hiking a mile back to the State park entrance to make a phone call to get the bike back to Central. Enjoyed the ride anyway.

I'd called it unicycle because by the time Hunter gets done it will be lucky to have one wheel attached. Love the video hope to see many more.

Hey Paul you need to bleed the coolant system on a jk after changing the thermostat if not the air bubble will destroy them, I changed mine and my dads 3 times before figuring it out. Now the only time our fan turns on it’s up hill any other time it doesn’t need it

When is Shawn going to get a rig of his own? :)

Hey there. I would have loved to have been y’all’s tour guide for the Dusy. (FZJ80 series) It’s in my backyard. Great footage and a great trail. Keep teaching these kiddos what you know Paul. It’s what they need. Good on you bud.

Love it guys Hunter great job on starting slow with your own channel Had fun watching you try to get it home lol You guys are great and your an inspiration and role model to many Keep it up guys

@thefabrats don't forget thatMethod race wheels are the best wheels you can buy for any vehicle (buy 5 so you can have a matching spare) and BFGoodrich has amazing tires but the procomp extreme mt2 tires are also extremely amazing tires

Jeep might hold together for a while. Good idea to swap it onto 1 ton axles, the Jeep front ball joint system no good. First thing we used to do for our drivers was to block out the back window so they were forced to learn to back up with the side mirrors - doesn't take long before you can back up as fast as reverse gear will let you.

Name is now Rollo.

❤Good content. Michelle sure looks great at the beginning of this episode having looks like going out on the town.

If you don't already have this as merch you need a T-shirt with your logo and on the chest area print ths in LARGE letters "IT'S GOING TO BE FINE" or "I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FINE" as an alternative! I would buy one in a heart beat!

Great episode. It’ll be fine so funny. Cheers from Adelaide Australia.

Minor damage, I'm sure it will buff out 😂

When I get a bolt like that oil drain plug, I use a nice ratchet handle with a nice round comfortable grip that I can apply pressure to without hurting my hand.

Clifford!😂 Be cool to see Hunter in something but i think Paul is more excited then Hunter 😂

The Jaggerd Kidney stone 😅 every time you need to go .....pain 😅😂😂

Excellent video guys.....just another day at the FabRats where....Paul works on others stuff much more than he works on his own stuff....lol....Awsome boss !!

I did a LS swap to a jk Rubicon 10 years ago. It was a pain. The gauge cluster is a control module for all lights and wipers. Probably some other stuff that I don't remember. It was a better rig after, though.

I like Pauls new, “it’s fiiiine” theme. Should I start this Bronco that was just submerged? “Suuuuuure, it’s fiiiine”

Awesome I just bolt in a 5.3 into a 2008 jk with ebay engine mounts. I cannot believe how easy it is to do. I’m using a AX15 trans for Now but the transfer case bolted right up and drive shaft bolt in with no mods yet

Put a little time in on the Jeep , got some things sorted out and ready to go wheeling. A name that comes to mind Red Rider . FJ is looking good a couple of repairs she sho7ld be alright. Thanks for sharing.

Hey great meeting you guys at 24 hour. This is Wild cards dad. Hunter hurry up and finish the Red Heepster, lol let go wheeling again.

Clifford, big red dog that already knows how to roll over😅

“Dice” Because it’s been rolled!!! Lol

I used to own a 2001 jeep tj, it was a very little known edition called the "Cilli Pepper" edition. The only thing special about those jeeps was the red color, "chilli pepper red", and a numbered plate on the center console. Your jeep is basically the same color, so you could call it the Chili Pepper!

Tech tip for working on jeep you can fold hood all the way back and rest on windshield it allows a lot more light and a lot more room

Hunter: I want it to shift in and out of 4x4 reliably. Paul: Best I can do is “sort a works”, so don’t go shifting in and out too much. 😂😂😂😂

My dad always said it was wish in one hand and 💩 in the other and see which one fills up faster! 😂

Name suggestions, Lil' Red Riding on The Hood, Crunchy, Smash and Grab, "It's a Jeep Thing", Red Rolly Polly, Rough and Tumbled, Leaky and Stinky, and Red n' Risky. I think that's all I got.

Clifford should be the name. Big red dog, and it does tricks like a dog like roll over! Lol
