I don't know if you realize it, but guys like you (Matt, Robbie, as well as others), provide a service to people who are otherwise stranded in what seems to be an impossible situation. I've needed such services and I can say that when an unfortunate individual sees an off road rescue vehicle on the horizon it's like a breath of fresh air. Speaking for all of us who has required your level of expertise...thank you. It's deeply appreciated.
😊😊q
Good to see you, Sadly, on Saturday Morning @ 6:43 am I had unfortunately found My Father had Passed on in My Home after Battling Kidney Failure for the Last Couple Years the Last Week under Hospice Care . RIP James Edward Cole, a Decorated Vietnam Veteran , Husband, Father, Grandfather & A Great Grandfather, you will be Missed.
Rory always crosses the two smaller straps to keep the towed vehicle from swaying side to side.
YEP I was going to say that.
Великолепно 👍 мастер👍🙂✅
I would not recommend it just because Rory does it, but I saw several times that having crossed lines would have increased the distance to those trees.
Crossing the straps also keeps them at basically the same length on turns.
Lol. I was going to say the same thing.
Paul, thanks for introducing Kev. I love Dirtbike Fab!
Props to Kevin for staying calm AND filming!
I love seeing the swampers on the cherokee! We need to bring swampers back into popularity! Paul, your next project needs to have swampers on it!
HEY! Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!
Looks like all the usual suspects have survived the 4th, mornin' everybody!!
Mornin richard sir...
Good Morning to You Sir
Your wrecker might not be the biggest but she definitely gets the job done!
That's what she said 🤣
@@zakburnett6690 I knew that was coming 🤣🤣🤣
Dam I came here to say that haha
My girlfriend swears to me that size doesnt matter... she wouldn't lie to me Right?
Happy hump day Fabrats, friends, and fans! Look forward to another great video, you guys help me through the week, week after week.
Wow!! What a spotless windshield! I almost couldn't tell it was even there. :)
These cables that go from tow truck to towed vehicle
are under enormous stress,yet twist,turn hold vehicle at correct height for safe towing on open road the cables are amazing,as are the skilled driver taking the time, feeling the road and load
That's some rescue!
Grandpa Sherm would be smiling at how this. Performs
Great to see the rat rod wrecker being used for what it was built for!!!
❤😊Love the @Dirt Bike Fab he built (you) Paul a beautiful Dirt Bike. Awesome workmanship for sure. GREAT work working together.
Paul that's why Rory says to crisscross your lines going from the back of your tow truck to the vehicle you're towing so the front end won't sway back and forth just putting that out there good job
I find it funny when you fast forward the drive to the stranded vehicle because I can actually picture Paul driving the trail that fast 😂
Hey Paul I've been in the towing industry for quite a while you need a removable sling for your wrecker it would be handy to be able to remove and put on in a pinch so you wouldn't have to have somebody in a vehicle if you didn't have them to run brakes you don't need the vehicle to swing and hit that beautiful
You made Rory and Shawn proud!
Summit sells a really neat compact brakeline flare kit. Maybe it be a good wrecker tool so you can fix plug/cap the line and use the brakes 😉in future 😊
You can crimp lines with a vise grip...
Paul you really leave all of us Wishing we had someone like you in our areas. Theres no denying the skills you have not to mention considering you've also got both Matt and Rory there to help Utah is lucky to have ALL of you.
Good morning this is a great way to start my day. Hog Canyon will always be memorable for me.
Unless I am wrong Paul when you helped Matt get that Jeep out of Hog Canyon was the first time everyone seen the tow truck that was a very memorable video.
To see how far the Tow truck has come since then is a great thing.
Nice to see your dad wrecker doing what he like to do paul!!!👍🏻😉
It's a nice way to honor his legacy
Nice way to remember him🙌🤜🤛🤙👌✌️
As much it is funny when you realize your not in 4wd it shows how capable the rig really is.
I had an older friend who had a towing service. He had a contraption made out of metal pipe with a hole cut in the middle. It had a long length of chain running through it he used it as a yoke. He hated straps. I swear it had a pool noodle covering it to protect the vehicles. He believed it had less swing than straps. He carried a few different shackles zip ties to tighten it up. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago so I can’t get you a picture. He would tow anything from anywhere.
Is there a tree that Paul missed dragging that Jeep through? 🤣😂 Paul- love your channel man. you rock!!!
Paul, you should install back up cameras on the tow truck so you can watch what's going on on your screen.
We have them just need to put them on
I don't think I could cope with being in the towed vehicle, Kev did a good job!
Try turning wind noise reduction OFF when using mics with dead cats. Wind noise reduction doesn't only affect wind noise, in the case of audio inside the tow truck voices meld with the exhaust tone and audio noise reduction can't differentiate between them.
I love how many people are mentioning to cross the lower straps. People are paying attention and learning to be professional tow truck drivers. Its awesome
That’s what you call one heck of a carnival ride for that dude
Rory always does a crossover or "X" with the lower straps. This helps control lateral sway better than two parallel straps.
You're watching Fab Rats not Rorys Trailmater.😀
Worked out okay but in the past when your crossed over the tow straps the vehicle being pulled seemed to track behind the Rat Rod Tow Truck a lot better.
I was surprised to see you placing the two lower tow lines parallel to the top tow line, rather than crossing them like Rory does. I think Rory achieves better control over the tow as it significantly decreases the sway from side to side.
I towed for a lot of years and your comment is spot on. I noticed the front of that Jeep swinging from side to side. I hope they see you’re comment rather than me repeating it. Good lookin out young man.
That and the passenger side boom line was tighter than the driver side line causing it to swing harder to the left side, most of the way. At the end they looked to be the same tightness. Good call.
Rory needs to have some towing classes for the guys down south; this one made me a bit more nervous than usual with Paul behind the wheel!!
@@Loudmouth906 Good thing it wasn't cuzzin Merlin!
@@Loudmouth906 You ARE involved...
Paul’s laughter is funny
Kev's a trooper. Editor did a great job on this one too.
Paul and a friend helped pull this broken tripod jeep out of Hog Canyon and got it back on the customer's trailer. Rat rod tow truck to the rescue.
You should make like boat fenders to put on the front of the vehicle you tow. This way you don't have to worry about bumping the front damage.
Good job Paul you giving a lot of people a lot of inspiration your videos were very interested I love them I've been mechanicing on cars in size 10 years old and watching what you're doing is very interesting to me that's why I can't wait to see what you do with your wife's Jeep
Fun recovery. Wrecker works great! Grampa Sherm would be proud.
As much as you and Matt drive around in 2WD without realizing it, maybe the next off road games should be the 2WD challenge.
You should make a bar that goes from the hitch on the truck to some point in your vehicle your towing make it so it will extend and retract that would allow you to tow on the trail with out smashing stuff up but that's good practice for the derby too good luck with all you do sir I was a 88mike in the army and before that a tow truck operator your videos remind me of those days and puts a smile on my face you have a beautiful family if I can figure it out maby I can record my son's and my derby this month if the cars get done. Thanks for all you do sir
Thank you for sharing your time with us all, Gerald. New Zealand.
Love seeing that truck work out in the hills!
Speaking of Dirt Bike Fab that reminds me....
...i for one would love to see you ripping that new dirt bike build Paul! 😎
back in 2012 I came back from a 40 month (split over 5 years) overseas deployment for NATO. I was totally disconnected from my family, my society, my friends, my society. I spent six dark months roller coasting in my mind, not doing any productive thing besides going out and drive, in rainy weather, in the dark night, in the snow and sleet, finally I got my FWD Ford Focus stuck on an offroad trail in 2 feet deep snow (4x4 built trucks couldn´t get past me on the trail quite annoyed). I bit the bullet, called EMS via 112 (Europe version of 911), explained where I was and what my predicament was (it was snowing hard at the time). The responder treated my call so calmly, nicely, professionally, politely asking me to remain with my vehicle, obtained info on my position, and (I had told her I was in no distress, just stuck) told me she would find someone to check up on me. Less than an hour later an elderly gentleman (national park tender) came to me, spoke to me, offered to pull me out of the troubles and then proceeded to do so. I offered to pay him for his help, he just shook his head and politely recommended me what path best to leave the park to get back on safer grounds. It broke my heart knowing I had troubled the EMS call operator, and this gentleman with my silly decision (or lack of decision) to go to such rustic place in a vehicle not equipped to go there at all. I stopped roaming aimlessly in my vehicle (I ended up selling it for salvage, as my roaming had destroyed it mechanically). Sometimes people are stupid (I was there) for who knows why, I´m humbled two nice people bothered helping me when I was beyond help, in my opinion at the time. Keep up the good work. I´m here, still weak, still meek, but proud to stay alive partly because of two people´s combined selfless help to me (I tried to offer the gentleman money for the help, he would have none of that, just said "Pass it on".). Be kind, rewind, don´t judge, lest you be judged. Love your content, apologies for the rant, you just triggered me to cry, for some reason.
Using a pipe chain between rigs bumpers will keep it from running into back and still articulate on hills.
Even as stubby as your rig is, with one on the hook it is a lot like towing a gooseneck trailer; make wider turns to allow the follower to swing around the trees.
Thanks Guys
I like that, " It has feelings! "... Hafa Adai from 671!!!
The Offroad Wrecker Olympics was a great proving ground for exactly this type of recovery.
love seeing Gpaws Square body saving broke Jeeps. He'd be proud.
The Wrecker is practically perfect
Trailmater is still king, but it’s all function over form, rat wrecker is form and function, the layout is great, the hydraulic boom/ electric winches is the best of both worlds, it looks damn good, once all the little issues are worked out, it will be a force all of its own!
Good morning, watching you back up with the Jeep what if you took two pipes added two over load shock welded to the ends of the pipe. It would keep the tow vehicle off your rear bumper and still flex In and out up and down
Love the slap stick from dirt bike fabs and you. Maybe get together more often. But Love the channel thanks.
The video doesn't do it justice. That jeep was sketchy to stay the least. Thanks again guys for helping us out
It’s amazing that Kevin didn’t get seasick!
Lol idk what’s up with the music on todays video but I can’t lie, it had me doing a little Jig in my kitchen while cooking for my son while no one else was watching lol😂!!!!! Great recovery!!!!!!
12:30 Nice of you to swing that tree further out into traffic. That tree is going down! 🤣
14:13 I can see why Rory@trailmater crosses the lower straps it seems to restrict the side to side swaying
I like how you knock a tree down at 12:30
Respect from UK, hI Paul and crew
I get so excited for Wednesday. You, MORR and Robby. Then I saw how short this video is…
We want MORE!
Two Thumbs Up on this one boys and girls 👍🏻👍🏻
Paul if you put pipe on the lower straps that will keep the truck off running up on your back side
Great Solo recovery Paul, with the Wrecker! Great of Kevin stepping up to control the brakes and video too. 🤙😎
we need to get this channel to 1 million subs I cant believe they aren't there yet such great content to watch
Man I love the sound of that BB
It's always good to see how you get them out, I wounder those trucks following you were they Cheroke jeeps !, if they were you should have played the old song about three wheels on my wagon, but I'm still rolling along,😂😂😂
1 of the jeeps is a lifted, released xjon 33's. The silver one is a stock zj
Thanks for posting this.
You may have to redo that hill. I believe you missed a tree with the cherokee lol. Looked like a fun day.
Nothing sounds better than a cammed big block chevy
And another successful day on the job for the " Rat Rod Wrecker " and its fearless pilot Paul !
Your buddy Kevin did a great job following you out of there like he did. Was this his first time ? Cause he seemed like he had done this before.
Thank You Paul for taking us along for the ride and showing off the scenery along the way. Its definitely pretty country out there. Stay safe and be Blessed Y'all ! ✌️❤️🙏
Rory has always said that the most important piece of equipment he has while towing, is Mike or Shaun pushing the brakes in the towed vehicle.
Both you and Matt gotta rig up some sort of wheel lift on those rigs. Some heim joints and tubing to hold the towed vehicle off the back of your tow vehicle.
Another great rescue you made that look easy. Between the cameras you are using, and your new editor the cinamatography is great. It is nice seeing you have quests on these rescues Kevin seems like a fun guy up for anything. Keep up the great work, and I'll keep comenting and hittting the like button, and making sure I am subscribed becasue CZcams will unsubscribe you every now and then.
Awesome edit on the FWD drive to and from. Simple and informative!
That towed jeep looks like a hyper bee signaling where the flowers are.
This guy was very nice!! trail looks fun!!
The correct statement is that this is the first day on this job. Every one is different.
Hey Paul, since Fab Rats & MORR seem to have the same problem, why not convert your tow rig to a UNDERLIFT system, you'd have way better control of the recovery vehicle...just a thought. as always, love the channel!!!
It’s in the works
Wheel lift does not articulate
It whold also give you a real bad departure angel
A cut n polish to restore the virgin paint on that 3 legged jeep, after dragging it through the scenery, might be a job next on the work sheet.
Time to install a turn table so you can swing the boom left or right, to get you around those tight areas.
Why are you not crossing those lines. Your buds, Matt and Rory, have shown without a doubt, it works. You aren't stopping the swaying worth a damn with your rigging.
Good job Paul. Now hang the Gone Fishin sign on the front door of the Shop. Lol
Excellent recovery, good job
Good job towing it to where they could gat it!
Very nice recovery there. Wow that's crazy. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Yeah most definitely if you say follow him. It will not go well. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab on. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Awesomely covery!😊
YAY
Good morning Janelle 🐿
Good morning Miss Janelle 🌺
Morning
Love the wrecker Paul. Maybe one day I can I put something together like it for myself. I love how the bone stock jeep zj (with running boards) just walks on through there. I've own my current zj for 14 years and would bet any amount of money that I could out wheel any of the new broncos without a doubt lol.
That's my ZJ. I grew up in hog canyon on motorcycles. Jeeps are just natural to have now. That area is just fantastic in wheeling. Lo e my ZJ.
"He sold me it yesterday"
"Good sell!"
😂😂
Grampa Sherm would be proud...
Thid Vid. just reminded me to check my ball joints on my jeeps and one was not looking to good and the oil change outfit never said a word. (oil changed last week) I have been taken these jeeps too them for several years and they grease them each and every time. They even done the brakes on that jeep about two months ago. keep up the good work love the Vids.
Great rescue in some challenging country.
You forgot to X the drag ropes for smother control and keeping the Jeep straight. ;)
I'm starting to think that people watch what your vehicles do and think there's can do it also.
I guess they don't know how upgraded your vehicles are and that your driving skills are far above average. 👍
Awesome effort it's good seeing the wrecker being used for what it was made for keep up the good effort
Hey Paul, you always show us videos of your house with that little mountain behind it. Why not make a video of you guys driving up there? Then you could get a picture of your house with your rigs up there in the background on top of that bute!
Loved the subtle repositioning of the tree @ 12:30… 😂
great rescue recovery...thanks to fab rat's for bringing us along for the adventures great job recovery keep safe and keep making great videos 📹 and bringing us along on your adventures....thanks...
