Helping a Jeep get out of a sticky situation with Matt's Off Road Recovery! 

Who else is here from Matt’s channel? Love how y’all work together, makes y’all a heck of a team!

"i'm using 6011 so I should be able to weld dirt to it" my favorite quote so far. Love the channel, keep the videos coming!

Classic roadside repair with all the luxuries. It reminds me of a weld repair I saw my father do once. Back in the late 60's we did a trip around Australia and were in the mid north of WA when the tow coupling on the caravan broke apart. The roads were miserable with coregations and it was a good 170 miles back into somewhere with electricity {between Newman and Wittenoom from memory}. Not wanting to abandon the van in the desert Dad repaired the coupling by welding it back together. We didn't have a welder, rods, grinder or a generator other than what was on the Patrol. He managed to file a weld prep and used some thick wire coat hangers wrapped up with newspaper hooked up to 3 12 volt batteries in series. He used the jumper leads with the clamp as the stinger. That improvised rod welded that cast steel trailer coupling back together so well that there was no apparent bend on it when we got to a welder and much further still until he was able to source another coupling in Broome. Nice job

Ed: "I'm gonna have to start eating goat food."...lol...

Great job!!! I love these collaboration recoveries. Matt's version is the whole thing and then Paul's version are the details and the stuff Matt's crew doesn't pick up. Makes for awesome videos.

Talk about improvising. Pretty impressive guys. Well done!!

You pull off one miraculous recovery on the side of a mountain, and suddenly everyone wants you to do theirs, too! 👍

The best part of all of this is your both raising your kids to know the work and the payoff. Respect...

"If you promise not to get me, I can hold this pretty steady..." "Is this precarious?" "Yes" 😀😀 the dialogues are hilarious... 😀 as always when Matt and Paul work together...

Matt: “He says we can’t get in front of him”. The customer clearly doesn’t know Matt.

The off road crowd is lucky that someone is even available to rescue them in situations like this. Not every area has people with the skills and equipment to get this done. Hats off to the boys for getting people out of the pickles they like to get into.

FabRats it is amazing what you did, how you did it and the tools that you used! Can you just imagine the guy who scrapped that welder if he watched your videos? Well done!

It's not about money. It's about passion. You can hear it in their voices. Good job guys!

Piece o cake 😆 Skill and ingenuity; And I also couldn’t help but appreciate the hundreds of inventions present. Everything from 4WD, winch, welder, tools, lights, clothing, gear... we’ve come a long way in 100 years

You've got bigger cajones than me getting under that rig with just a high-lift holding it up, but way to get er done.

Didnt even know this channel existed. Just finished watching Matts version, more of the best recovery (IMO)! New subscriber for sure! Awesome guys!

what an incredible rescue Paul! That looked sketch as all get out, and you guys made that work. so awesome!

I've watched countless of your videos. Seeing Ed brings a smile to my face every time. He reminds me of some real people I once knew. Stay safe on your recovery's and keep the grate footage coming 🇺🇸

Love the fire department shirt! 20+ years EMS here. Thank you for what you do.

Great job Paul, you and Matt make a great team. Just love watching you build stuff and your Fabrication skills are just awesome.

With your fabrication skills, plus BOTH vehicles involved with this recovery, i'm betting this was an EXPENSIVE recovery bill!

Congratulations guys, saving the situation, Paul Fab Rat, Matt Widens and the whole group, you're doing a Fantastic job.

Two Bad asses that dont try to Alpha male each other. Fab Rats, MORR and Vice Grip Garage are easily the best channels on YT if youre into this type content! I love all of your families and values!😃😃❤️❤️

You guys need to have your own show on Discovery Channel. Great work.

Once again awesome teamwork👊🏻 Using the resources to the fullest on the side of a mountain, that was awesome. Great job to everybody out there.

I really enjoy the different camera angles showing how steep that hill is and the different perspectives , that was a cool rescue !!

Out of no where a new video surfaces, a year old but never saw it. Of course it was a darn good one and Ed was there to top it off. A man of few words is entertaining.

Now that was some beautiful minds working together once again! ✌🐢

You both work together as a great team. So much fun to watch you both together.

Ain’t it great to be young, when NOTHING is impossible? You guys (Paul & Matt & Company) are the best in the West! Keep up the good work!

I love when Matt and his crew work together with Paul to do some of the hardcore recovery videos. It’s nice to have Michelle’s expertise on the backside of the camera, but too many negative comments have caused her to retreat to the house, but I would like to see her out in the shop more often, and maybe even out on these kinda trail recoveries…

You guys make an awesome team!! Job well done. 😎 Noticed the fire department T-shirt so thanks for your selfless service to our country.

You guys took an IMPOSSIBLE situation , and handled it.....100% PRO'S!!

You two make a good team. Nice to have equipment that you can take with you for repair work!

Paul you and Matt work really good together,I don’t think there is any job you guys can’t handle with in reason. Love watching you guy’s working together.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍

I was expecting one of those lunchbox trail welders. You brought a bazooka to a knife fight. I’d rather have a bazooka anytime.

“Don’t get killed by that handy man”, not the first or last time that will be said.

13:22 I was wondering about the engine running at such a steep angle! You need to fabricate a mount that can articulate for hill-side welding! 🤣 PS, new subscriber from Matt's channel!

You guys are awesome. You made that recovery look easy ( most of us know less knowledgeable people probably would have lost the jeep ) .

Good Fab work Paul on the side of the mountain.

A great example of people taking their rigs where they have NO idea or clue WTF they are doing !! Another great recovery job guys !!!

Having just the one Like icon doesn't cut it with a video this good. 👍👍👍👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Top comment came from Ed again when asked if this was the craziest thing he'd done today. 'I'll have to start eating goat food'.

Another sphincter tightening adventure with Matt's off road recovery

Wow, this is what America is about. Great job guys. Take care and be safe out there.

Job well done. I'm glad you're always there for Matt when he needs your help. Keep up with the good work and also to your Cameraman for doing an awesome job filming the recovery.

We natives really do need to stop and enjoy what seams so common every day stuff. Can't even imagine what it would be like if all i saw driving down a road and on each side , back and front was another building.

Great job crew! Paul, looks like you need to devise a way to bolt down the welder & maybe attach a vise to the edge of the bed of your truck. Or build one a vise that slides into the hitch.

Looks like fun !!! Dump welder just paid for itself 3 times!

Kind of looks like you guys are just out having fun. The things you have to do for people out having a good time. Thank goodness for people like you and Matt to help them out of the situations we all eventually find ourselves in. Great job and great video.

Great job Paul, just watched this on Matt’s channel, I love it when you guys team-up🥰 I miss fabbing and improvising stuff, getting too old these days, but there was plenty of it going on in my teens in the 70s...🤣 Greetings from a Brit in Romania 👍🏻🇷🇴🇬🇧

Enjoy watching matt and you working and having fun with family! Great people. 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You’re the best friend a guy could ever want.

Unbefrinkinlievable. Paul you have more nerve than a mountain goat. Working under that truck on the side of a hill was spectacular. I'm pretty sure the "safety inspector" would have red tagged the entire work site and everyone out there. Great job.

1:50 “He says we can’t get in front of him...” little does he know... 5:15 Matt’s wheelin’ his Jeep... 🤣👍🏻🇷🇴🇬🇧

Nice job on the weld Paul less than ideal location, I would be looking at everything but the work loved the scenery. Nice job on camera work also. Glad you all made it out safe and sound.

"I can talk you into all sorts of dumb stuff." Well said, Paul.

Man, I love that yota

The music you used at the 3-minute mark reminds me of those Black Exploitation movies or the Shaft- like movies of the mid 1970s. It is the right type of music. You are on a mission and danger is lurking!

Fab Rats ROCKS! Incredible recovery

13:09: Quality control sez the "eye-crometer" has brought the workpiece "within spec."

Macgyver would be proud ..well done

I was the kid just walking around, no seriously it’s my dads Jeep

love the colabs with Matt and watching your subs increase. keep it up!

The things you guys do simply amaze me !!! Salute !

You guys earned every penny and some on this job that welder was well worth the money they don't come up very often at that price .

I am Fab Rat. Matt’s favorite helicopter pilot. from another one of there recoveries. these two guy are major cool. and there wife’s also. :-)

Another great video guys! Epic recovery! Amazing country, impressive driving, and some trailside fabrication 😎

Good recovery guys! Looks like some awesome terrain to explore 👍 Thanks for posting.

More interesting enough, we now can go from Matt's channel to Fab rats, or vise versa ...👍✌️. Solid axle Toyota is set up nice .

Ed's umbrella did the trick.😁

Flippin phenomenal teamwork y'all!!

I found this channel first now I watch both

I noticed you referred that jack by its proper name: "HANDYMAN"! I grew up on a farm with one of those. They were "handy"; they pulled posts, stretched wire fencing, straightened bent frames, served as winches (a little slow!), etc. But they were dangerous! Ever have one 'runaway' when going down? The handle would go crazy as the jack ratcheted down on its own. Dad taught me early to have a healthy respect for that jack, and NEVER trust it.

I was eating lunch and almost spit it out laughing when Matt said “Whoever planted this cactus here is a jerk” 🤣😂🤣

The "Best of the Best". Great job Paul.

Fabrication Rodents who knew? So much great stuff. Gnarly Yota, the endless searching for where you left your gloves/tools. Recovery adventures by brothers from different mothers. You and Matt seem to work really well together. Wonder how you first met up and realized what you had. That sum is greater than the individual parts thing. Makes me want to go get stuck in some remote Utah location just to have to call you guys to be able to watch you do your thing....

love all the collaboration you folks have with matts...your fabrication skills are something i have never seen rofl...but i guess necessity breeds results ? you guys are awsome...oh and cool shop dog :)

Awesome job Paul ......and on the side of a mountain..........Sheesh....!!

i love that everything you drive is a standard

Great job Fab

Y’all make one hell of a team. Expertly done

Watched on Matt’s channel as well. Whatever you guys charged those guys for the recovery was worth it!! Great job! Thanks for the Zion views as well.

Friggin love Paul!!! Trophy count one more to Paul... just for showing up .... sorry Matt...

Copied S.C. comments. Too lazy to type!! It's Sunday!! .Didn't even know this channel existed. Just finished watching Matts version, more of the best recovery (IMO)! New subscriber for sure! Awesome guys!

Well you had some great scenery to work in. Great job on that recovery. If Matt ever finds who planted that cactus on that rock, watch out!

Hope you get this on such an old video. I used to work at a welder repair shop. One guy brought one in like yours but a Miller. He had a angle iron piece welded to the front with a nut welded to that. With a very long like one inch bolt in it. I asked what that was for. He said he sometimes very on steep inclines. That is to help level his welder out so it runs right. Also said. I do not bolt the welder down, just use straps so it comes out faster. That bolt is to bring it back to level. Cool beans. That is you an idea Paul. I know, more jobs to do.

YOUR CREW SHOULD TRAIN ARMY ENGINEERS...THIS IS HOW THEY START..RECOVERY SPECIALIST!!

I am a firm believer in the only bolts on a multi link suspension are the ones that go through the bushings. Everything else needs to be welded. There have been cases where adjustable control arm jam nuts have loosened and the bushing joints rip clean out of the threaded control arms.

Good job man. A bunch different than laying on a creeper in the shop on a flat piece of concrete!

Did you learn to be a mechanic in a mine? I’ve seen guys laying in muck working on graders, dozers and loaders doing that kind of repair. Good work!

Outstanding job gentlemen!

I cant believe I'm the first one to click Like on this outstanding video from Fab Rats

I will never get to see this in my lifetime so thank you so much for this tour. Loving your chanel. Old Georgia girl here.

You guys are awesome

8:28 was a thing to see you see how Ed’s face lit up when they asked him for his opinion

That is a LOT of work, But your talents definitely bailed out Matt .... And you Got it out !!!

Good work Paul!👍

Trail fix was better than initial set up

I respect them skills ! This Re-Fab Re-covery is in the bag !

Matt please, don't mess with mother nature.
