Awesome seeing Landin move into taking the second rig out. For us fans, getting to see both the tow truck and the FJ at the same time on the trail is just a win-win.

Good to see you and Landon doing a Father and Son trip. Trips with dad, you will remember forever.

Landon has definitely learned a lot Paul. He's really can wheel the heck out of the old FJ. He has an awesome teacher.

@rhondasweeney7271 Месяц назад

This was an amazing video. I love where You went rock crawling. That was amazing, 6 hours away from home, but it was worth it in the views. Paul and Michelle are great role models for their children. Thank you for sharing! 👌

Месяц назад

I love this video because I have done these things and know I will never do them again. I'm an old man with health problems who now lives in Youngstown, Ohio. I have been running back and forth from the East Coast to the West Coast all my life. My parents taught me how to do it, and by the time I was 20 I had already lived in 5 states. Today, I am in my 60s and have lived in 11 states. And where I am today, I will never see that part of the country again. That's what makes getting old so hard. Things you realize you will never see again.

@chriszimmerman4500 Месяц назад

It’s good to see Landon and you having a good time together, Paul. He’s getting really good at wheeling. He seems comfortable and that’s important. Great video.

@NAFIGGAMING Месяц назад

Paul you have built two bad ass machines there. The FJ is capable but that wrecker weighing in at 6000+ is a monster in its own right. Hell of a day with your son making memories for all of us to remember as well.

@DanDan_and_the_boys Месяц назад

Man you know watching another father being what a father is supposed to be is absolutely awesome 👌🏼. Our kids needs us to show them the rights and the wrongs and really they need us to do things with them and enjoy life with them. Create memories that they will never forget and everytime the look back the smile and think man that was great hanging with my dad or mom. At the end of the day work isn’t that important and whatever else isn’t that important, your kids are that important and just go hang with them and laugh and smile.

@kevinthompson5827 Месяц назад

Most people don’t understand that if you have a nice paint job on your vehicle then you’re scared to scratch it. And then you would feel horrible because of all the work you had to put into it to make it nice. That really looks good Paul and I think it’s a great choice.

@chipsrafferty8362 Месяц назад

After Robbie spent hours painting Matt’s Bambi he had no concern in scratching it up,didn’t care less.

@triman95 Месяц назад

Thats why I'd paint it with a good old fashioned single stage paint. No clear coat required, easy to touch up or spot in any damage if needed.

@drewunderwood2859 Месяц назад

Tough watching you son/daughter do dangerous stuff, but the confidence they come out the back side with is what makes it worth doing. I took my wife in our Polaris Ranger to West Virginia riding the Hatfield/Mc Koy trial system, took a long time to convince her to drive, I finally had to look at her and tell her" there is no wrong way till you find it, follow my friend, he knows your following, if he hits it hard, you better hit is hard, he goes slow go slow, and if it rolls hands on the wheel or across your chest and trust the bars" and her looking at me and saying" it makes since now why you come back broken, or torn, then sometimes just dirty, it makes since now, but watching her hit water crossings, and holding it to the floor to cross mud, she was different after that, a lot more confident. Good job Paul.
