When Ben joined the Fab Rat's crew it was a great addition. Ben is a salt of the earth Kind of guy.

@johnhpalmer6098 11 месяцев назад

He's more than that, he has an impish personality that I love. Their mother, Grandma Lolly is what I'd define as the true salt of the earth, but in a really good way.

@josemarron6159 11 месяцев назад

@patriot8087 can you explain the saying "salt of the earth"

@johnhpalmer6098 11 месяцев назад

@@josemarron6159 Generally speaking it can mean respect for individuals who deal with difficult/demanding situations without any fuss or complaints as definition #1 Definition 2; (a christian definition) to promote and stimulate good growth of good things (comes from the Bible). Definition 3; Something people did to destroy their enemies, rather than blessing them. In the case of Grandma Lolly, she has been, and always will be a mother, is humble, has a good sense of humor and is NOT afraid to utter the occasional profanity and is just herself. That is, she loves her sons, still brings lunch, be it bought, or made, She also encourages play and loves her grand kids. The fact that she runs the shack at Fab Rats means she gets to hang out with the gang a bit more regularly, especially since Grandpa Sherm (her husband) has passed on, I think last year. She, to me is the salt of the earth in a good way.

@vincentjansson9167 11 месяцев назад

There's only one thing missing on your wrecker, and that's some outriggers at the back, because while stationary you're often pressing it down more than you're lifting.

@bryduhbikeguy 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for knowing the proper term.I said; "They need Rams to stake into the ground so it won't move"; but not realizing they'd "Wheelie" wasn't why I'd said this at their start.I thought it'd get pulled downhill from lack of weight.Good call.

@graememckay9972 11 месяцев назад

I think outriggers were mentioned during the build. They said they would air up the bags to stop it dropping and outriggers wouldn't work because they need to be able to adjust the boom and move the truck while still pulling/ lifting. I certainly think they would be a great option for static pulls.

@merlars 11 месяцев назад

@@graememckay9972 Yeah and/or more weight on the front. Removable tractor weights on the front might help. Prob get in the way of the front winch though.

@cissnakeman 11 месяцев назад

I though about that as well, but because they need to move the wrecker, I though to some removable "wedge" between the bed and the frame to stiffen the back while pulling only

@maxironpaw 11 месяцев назад

On this Independence Day, as we all celebrate our freedom, I would like to highlight something your long-term viewers might forget about and of which your newer viewers might be unaware. It was not so long ago that you worked a job, a demanding job, and grabbed whatever free time you had to work your hobby and passion. Things seemingly were tighter for you and your family then (as they are for so many of us today - I'm as old as your dad would have been and I still work 7 days a week). You scrounged parts from your dad's barn, you brought home treasures from the dump, and Michele had a full-time job in addition to running a household and raising the kids. But y'all stuck it out and made your bones. You were able to retire from the other job and devote yourself to your interests and this channel. It looks to be paying off! You and yours seem to be thriving and doing fine. But you have not abandoned your values. This is 100% American role model stuff here. Be proud; we are proud of folks like you as well.
