We didn't know what we were getting into when we got to this recovery! Snowy and icy conditions caused a truck with a full trailer full of wood to crash down a ravine! Without the Rat Rod Wrecker's motor swap complete we had to use other resources. Will it work? Check it out!

Oh wait are you Mormon because if so I understand they don't matter
@rodney1818 Shat up fool
Yankum winch rings for the win!
Nice job Men.
Paul if you're going to replace Hunter please make sure the new guy carries a pocket knife before you hire him
No drama , no acting just figuring it out and doing it . Awesome
Him and Rory about the only one’s left. That don’t make it a huge drama show.
What’s wrong with drama? 😅
when its not fake or over exaggerated its fine, when its false like most channels its easy to tell and annoying@@donras564
agree, not interested in morr acting & drama
And the Kid already has a plan to get on with life! Flatbed and front clip make into a ranch truck!
Now this is QUALITY recovery content! Snow recoveries are always fun to watch. And sheesh, the FJ is a BEAST.
I concur and would like to add that the little taco is just as capable in its own right.
As Paul used to wheel that hell out of it before the FJ was built.
Paul's right foot knows only 1 position, flat on the floor .😅😅😅
yes it iz!!
😎🤙
That was a good one. If Michelle is the editor, she does a mighty fine job!!
Our other editor, PJ, created this vid! We have some seriously talented folks who work for us!👍🏻
@@FabRats Is that code for Michelle was at home pounding twinkies? LOL That dang Merlin!!
@@FabRatsno doubt about that, everything about this episode was professional.
I love the fact that "Graders" is entertaining the camera whilst eating pringles AND love the pure entertainment while there is NO foul language just pure Fab Rats quality!
That’s my truck that’s down there you guys are awesome
Are you looking to sell the truck?
I loved their work.... You chose wisely to use Paul and his gang !!!!
That was an exciting ride.
Sorry about your truck ..that black ice is wicked
@@isaacolsen7668 still making a plan and figuring out my options what are you thinking
Grayden cam is my new favorite lol..he had it all lol
He would rather be doing video games.
Heck of a recovery... that FJJ is a BEAST to pull all that weight in the deep snow.... totally impressed .... way to go guys
I am impressed with the Taco. Pulling that dead weight around was pretty impressive. Tight turn, very little room--and around she came!!
Just wait till it's got super duties and a LS
on the turn around you could hear something binding/popping and not happy probably when they lost the front drive line.
@@iffykidmn8170yep U joint wasn't happy, and eventually gave up the ghost
I love my Tacoma. People always bug me that it isn't a real truck, but it's never lets me down.
I know this was just run of the mill job for you, but for an old man from the city this was absolutely amazing. You all never cease to impress me with everything you do. Hats off to all and please keep it up.
Man the filmography was taken to a new level in this video
Ill voice the same things. No drama, great recovery, honest content and no acting. Grader is so funny “entertaining the camera”! The FJ is a beast!!!
An impressive recovery. That’s a lot of mass to drag up that hill. Also, equally impressive, the trailer that took the dive, still hauled the damaged truck home.
Great interview skills, Hunter. You asked all the questions that I was curious about.
More of that please. I always want to know what they were thinking.
One the best recoveries done from you guys to date.
Hat’s off to Paul and the crew! What a recovery!
Someone did a good job tying that load down ! And it was a LOT of WORK ! Thanks for sharing !
The drone footage was AMAZING!
Great to see the Grayden cam! It’s been missed!
The new awning looks like it did a good job 🙂 nice drone footage 🙂 The FJ is a monster ... the Tacoma is no slouch too...🙂 The truck owner has a GREAT attitude... flatbed, bumper grill, hood... a ranch truck etc...🙂 awesome use of applied science/engineering and wonderful machines to complete the recovery... what a recovery... Team Fab Rats for the WIN!
I concur…for what it’s worth.!
Mad respect to Paul, Hunter, and Shawn for kick butt getting that truck and trailer up that hill. Graders being a trooper along for the ride!
I have to admit this was one of your best videos yet. The amount of skill demonstrated by Paul and the gang was tremendous. Totally enjoyed watching them figure it out and succeed. Keep up the good work. This is exactly why I’m a loyal FAN!
Super cool seeing another demo of multi-part pulling with the Yankum setup. Alan and the crew there have really put some quality gear out. Fantastic work fellas.
Paul, Matt, and Robby all gave us truck recoveries today. What a great morning!
Why does that child not have a seat belt on!!? Geezus!
@kimfields1552 why do you care so much?we all did fine for decades without them and on the back snowy roads ain't noone wearing one..go stay inside
@@kimfields1552just shut up. So tired of online Karens
Those guys sure did a good job of securing their load because even after that wild ride everything stayed where it should.
I like when Paul tells these guys to work. So many times I’m watching the guys watch Paul work . He’s earned the boss role cuz of his excellent work ethic.
WOW, you guys are giving MATT's crew a run for their money man. That was SICK SICK SICK in a GOOD way. Awesome recovery.
Looked like a great recovery. You would be amazed where that rollback will go with a set of chains on those duals. Great Video.
Great video guys! Love it... no b.s. no fake drama just a bunch of people getting stuff done! 👍
Dang Paul , that FJ is deceivingly rowdy. Hearing that LS scream at the top of the hill is quite the gold star on your decision making abilities. Keep doing what you do.....
Winter is always my favorite recovery season! These are the types of recoveries worth filming, keep up the great work!
Great team effort. Gotta say those guys were pretty lucky not getting injured. Love Paul's vision and leadership in what must have been a long tedious process.
He said they were going extremely slow lmao
Great video -what an awesome recovery job. imagine the guys in that truck had to change their drawers after going over the edge! Grayden really brings a different (and fun) perspective to the videography 😊😊
I think my cheeks woulda taken a bite outta the seat cover going over luckily they came out only shook up
Those young men had a catastrophe problem happen and already have a plan in place,Thats impressive.
Good Morning Paul and Crew! Hope You all are doing well! I find myself constantly and consistently Awaiting the next video to drop, I smash that like button before the video even starts because I've never seen one yet that wasn't rad. I love Paul's laid back attitude, and positivity and way he keeps a level head no matter the situation. I love seeing how good of a father, teacher and mentor is to his kids and has always encouraged them to use his tools and build their own stuff like the Derby Mowers, the Go carts and Dirt bikes and now their cars and trucks as they're old enough to drive. my dad was a great teacher to me with 2strokes and Old trucks but I was always scared shitless to use his tools when he wasn't there, not even sure why,he wasn't a mean dad or anything I think it was just me feeling like I was trying to be responsible and respectful, but I honestly wish I had wrenched on more as a little kid by myself, that's one of the best ways to learn hands on, trial and error, see what works and what doesn't, how something comes apart (and more importantly back together 😂) your kids are gonna all be super capable and self sufficient which is what every parent could hope to instill in the youth they are the future
Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot!
Who needs a snow cat when you have the FJ I gotta admit that was 1 HELL of a recovery
MERICA! Hell yeah brother! Great job Paul and crew!!!!
That's what you call a danger ride for sure. XJ never disappoints.
WOW, the sheer power of te FJ and Pauls insistance that it drag both truck & loaded trailer....awesome !
You'll find that the pulley rings like you're using here with no bearings act as a friction device under heavy load, and will lower your pulling efficiency a bunch! They work ok under normal conditions but instead of doubling you might only get 1.4 times the winch rating.
I've done a similar winch-out like above before, but used a tree above the road with a pulley uphill in-line with the slope below the road, tow line through it to each car and just drove the winchin car downhill so the car that needed hauling went up like a lift! no need to rely on the winch power, just a long and strong tow line to the two vehicles.
Can't imagine how much tougher it would have been in the cold and snow like this, though! hardly any traction. Great job mate
I been a tree climber ropeing and rigging for 28 years now and that ring is junk causing more friction than it's worth you could hear it on the video. Needs a good old-fashioned snatch block.💪
@@sawmillingGarry yep I do a lot of height safety work and all I could see there was a friction device, not a pulley! Snatch blocks with good bearings all the way! will make your nylon winch ropes and winch motors last longer, too
Amazing recovery! Hunter, you did a really good job interviewing the two you were in the accident. I am glad everyone made it out safely.
I appreciated the idea of putting the Snatch Block on the one stationery truck and trying to use the SJ to pull out the one stuck without having to winch. It would have worked in the Summer.
A couple of minutes with the replacement Hunter swinging the camera and I realize what a great and steady job OG Hunter does. No vomit cam from the OG. Thx dude!
What a recovery! Watching your video gave me all the winter adventure I want! Great job!!
Those boys are lucky nobody got hurt going over the hill. Great job getting them out.
Love how Grayden is just sitting in the fj on side of the hill calmly eating his chips
That was a crazy recovery. You guys made it look easy without your best vehicle. The wrecker and Ratback would have been perfect for this job. I hope you guys have warmed up after that one.
When Sean said how cold it was at 8 in the morning, I decided I should stop complaining when it’s 18 degrees here at 8 in the morning! And he wasn’t up on the mountain yet! 🥶 Gradon looked sooo unexcited when you started out but when you got to the spot he was in full on recovery (and camera) guy mode! Great job everybody, glad you got them out and everyone was ok! 💕👏💕👌💕👍💕
Yesterday morning we had sun and a heat wave in iowa. It was 16 degrees i was out plowing in a long sleve tshirt. Amazing how warm that sun is when you havnt seen it in a week and its been -20 lol
@@nwngunner absolutely! I used to live in Wyoming and when it was around 30 degrees, that’s when you left the down coats off! I am fully used to East temps now though. 😉
Been waking up to about -40 the last few days 😅
Man I thought this was a HeavyD level recovery, great job getting that out 💪
As Paul would say “ we got it handled “ nice job! The FJ is just a beast, love it.
That was one crazy recovery, I didn't know how you were going to do that without the wrecker. That was a lot of rigging. The FJ went down the ravine, pulled the truck and trailer into position and almost made it out, all in snow. And a bit of wrenching ahead on the Toyota now. A good day's work, always good to see these recoveries. Thanks for posting this one.
Does it have to be said how awesome Grayden is?
Grayden, you are awesome . . .
That was impressive, everyone did great. The Fab Rats crew got everything up on the road, the FJ is a beast, Harbor Freight 12,000 lb. winches rock, snow is fun to play in (as long as you look at it that way), that truck is salvageable and it'll live and drive another day, no one got hurt in the accident or in the making of this movie. Perfect, really.
That was a major recovery!! Well done everyone 👍👍.
THE BEST FAB RATS EVER!
Absolutely kicked ass with that recovery. Most people would’ve said, nah we need a big rig wrecker to get that out. That pure ingenuity and determination. I love it. Great job.
Good job, fellas! That is a handsome square body!
Amazing recovery, stay warm (-4 here).
Great recovery! Looked pretty tough, but know how got it out!!
That Grader gonna be a great recoovery specialist! GREAT JOB GUYS ! KEEP ON KEEPN' ON
Kinda hard to be mad at a buddy when this stuff happens. It's life, things happen to the best of us!
Good morning everyone and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!👍
That was an incredible recovery, GREAT job.
You made that look way easier than it was. Great content and showcased all the yankum gear so we can watch it in action in real life situations.
The ol' fj did an impressive job of climbing out of that hole.
Cool to see Grader helping out. He sure growing up fast. Paul definitely built a mean rig when he built the FJ. Seems mike him and Rory are the only ones that build good stuff. Good work guys. Love the real life no acting content.
Love seeing the Tacoma working! Nice job on a tough recovery!
A great video. Some tough equipment and skilled driving. Loved the drone scenes.
Awesome recovery in great winter scenery. Liked the trailer-to-trailer transfer at the end.
One heck of a recovery. Great job, fab rats crew
Quick question for the Fabulous Rats! - how long did that pull take? From when you got on site to when you started rolling the convoy? Hell of a nice job, looked like to me!
We left our shop at 9 and we weren’t home til around 5. 3 hours of drive time. It was a long cold day!😅
Thanks for the reply! For sure a long day!! Keep up the great work!@@FabRats
Great job strapping the load down on the trailer. Hit hard enough to bend the ball, yet the load was secure!
That square body was CLEAN!
Playing in the snow...and doing a sterling job on a task that looked seriously challenging. That was impressive to say the least...Also, seeing the new awning at the shop,, sorry,, 'Barn' lol.. doing its thing as built for, is proof that inspiration, determination and hard graft pays off...well done all as always..
Its not a Barn its a Michelle she shed.
Driver is lucky he wandered away from that especially with that trailer chasing him down the hill.
and the load of wood stayed on the trailer, pretty lucky
Nicely done by the #FabRatsFam with their recovery gear from Yankum Rope.
#WearYourSeatBelt
Take note Paul.. Do not park stuff under the edge of that Awning that You do not want damaged by ice.
With the temp swings You get over there Ice WILL be sliding off that..
Oh my! Those drone shots were amazing.
Great rescue! The irony of that Dmax being hauled home on its own trailer...
I loved watching the Tacoma man handle that big ol Chevy on the way out .
That was purely amazing Paul !!! ❤👍🏻💪🏻
Wicked recovery. Well done grader
The people around where you live are very blessed to have you
Awesome recovery! It is amazing what you can do with minimal tools, a lot of skill and patience. Love it.
Glad you guys made it home safely. Quite the rescue!
Go Grader.....Great Big Atta Boy !!!!!!☃⛄
Loved it! This is the best content on CZcams. The FJ did quite well on this recovery. Such an awesome rig!
And the did Taco, too!!
@jasonstrout4502 yes it did. The good old Yoda.
That kid was lucky to walk away from that with just a bruised ego! All that weight on the trailer could have crushed them. Good job Fab Rats crew!
Greetings from Torrance, Ca! I couldn't help but think, that's not the first time I have seen Toyota's rescuing a Chevy. Good equipment makes the job easier. Thanks again to the crew! It must have been freezing!
WOW! What a GREAT episode with such BEAUTIFUL scenery!
Thanks for bringing us the aerial perspective to capture the predicament these guys found themselves.
You guys really know how to do a recovery. That’s a skill level 10. Thank you for the cool videos.
These technical rescues are great to watch
Graydon did a great job. The rest of the crew too. Thanks, guys.
Awesome rescue under some difficult conditions. Great job Fab Rats crew.
tough recovery , poor conditions...... Well Done, Guys.
Hunter, good on you for offering to miss out on all the “fun” so you could capture all of the action for us. 😂
You did also help a couple of times while continuing to film. Even right at the end pushing /rolling the tie onto the trailer while still keeping the camera rolling with your left hand.
High 5 ✋🏼
GREAT job, done by experts.
Love seeing that taco put in work. I no that kid was happy he got his stuff back
Great team work, Fab Rats to the rescue!
You guys rock!
Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Epic recovery. I would of put snow chains on but Paul clearly knows the capabilities of his vehicles :)
