I love watching the interactions between all of you. You can tell you are the best of friends. I think Matt is Paul's brother from another mother!

Fun times watching you guys banter & work. Love the term eyecrometer.

It’s great to see 2 friends working well together!!!

More people need friendships like this, the world would be a better place. Working on a project together and laughing the whole time, best day ever.

The older I get the more I appreciate a quiet vehicle.

I'm so glad that I found the two of you. You all make my day brighter. And tell Paul that I am also a Mt Dew drinker have been for over 30 years.

This is the truest representation of what actually goes on when working in the shop.

I'm as inspector for a major jet engine manufacturer for 40 years. I thought I have heard of many gages and measuring tools. We even have to have an eye exam for 20-20 every year. But never heard of an eyecrometer. Love it!!

The exhaust work done on the yellow Banana was awesome. Good job Paul and also for helping out Matt..👍👌

Absolutely loved the plumbing fitting on the rear differential!!

Jayme in the shop with Matt reminds me of my beautiful wife when she was still alive. She used to help me work on my cars and make sure I didn't forget anything. Also get parts for me so I wouldn't have to stop and get them myself. You're A lucky man Matt. 😁

I feel you with the gloves. Last week I spent a good 5 minutes looking for my flashlight under the car, while holding my flashlight because it was too dark to find it ;)

I could watch you guys work all day.

Just catching up on all the videos I didn't get to see before I found FabRats. I like Matt's pipe fitting welded to his rear differential lol. I had to back it up and pause it and look it over. I'm almost done watching every video yous made Paul. This is my favorite channel of all the ones I watch. Paul does some good fabrication work.

"I spend more time looking for stuff than I do working" is my spirit animal.

Gotta love a shop that you can show up a “little light” in the parts department 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Watching this AGAIN for the UMTEENTH TIME!!🤙🏻

I am a fabricator, my younger brother is or used to be a Moab jeeper . I am a born and raised Utahn, but have lived in the Midwest since 1976, my service time and my carreer took me to Ohio/Indiana, 31 Years with GM, 5 children 9 grandchildren later all live in Indiana, and so do we. Indiana has been home since 1988. I love the sentry in Moab, I lived in Hurricane for awhile. I used to use an eyecromiter all the time.

You and Matt work great together!!!!! Thank’s for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍

"Eye-crometer" love it, and Ed loves magnets , does he ? Magnets incoming...

"my eyecromiter" at first i was like wtf is that, then it hit me. im gonna start using that one

It’s fun seeing you two guys working together.

The Flowmaster 40 delta flow muffler is the perfect sounding muffler for all 6 and 8 cylinder trucks

Paul seems like the best friend ever.

Imagine growing up with one of these guys as your dad and then getting a degree in mechanical engineering. You'd freak everyone out by just knowing how to get it done.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who spends most the time looking for the tools that were just in my hands haha!

"My eyecrometer" lol! (7:58)

"When yer workin' with hot stuff" yeah gloves are a good idea...lol, you folks are too cool, " my eyecronomer is better than Paul's "...love the family/friendship of you folks...thanks for the smiles

Loosing or misplacing tools, etc, is a learned talent.

LOVED IT! What a gem... Two Masterbodgers working in tandem BRILLIANT! Is there a problem? There is not.

You and Matt are hilarious together! 🤣

"I spend more time looking for stuff than i do working" Story of my life.

Yahoo mountain dew just watched this video loved the video always love to see Jayme and Michelle and we can't forget Matt

Thanks for reminding me that I’m not the only one forgetting where I put my stuff. “I just had it in my hands!!!” 😡🤬😳

“Are you guys gonna turn down for what”😂

13:08 Ray Flugger, owner of Flowmaster, invented the glass pack muffler, and called it Hushpower. He also designed the exhaust for the Stealth Bomber and gave it to the military for free. He sold Flowmaster to B&M Racing in 2011. Sadly Ray passed away February 8th 2020 at his home in Santa Rosa, California, at the age of 79.

Hi guys, I’m a new sub over from Matts channel. Great video. Paul, I think you need to attach your gloves together with a long piece of elastic/bungee cord through your fabrication jacket sleeves, so when you take them off you can’t loose them.

What a pleasure to watch two master fabricators join forces and make it happen :) Looking forward to the steering upgrades as well!

Wow! You guys really DO have a lot of fun! 👍 I think I get it now.

This is what I call friendship at work

At 8:00; "eyecrometer"! I love it and am going to steal this phrase!

Wish I was in town when Matt was there too. I loved meeting you all and hope I can get everything together for Paul to build up my XJ. For everyone that wonders, these people are as nice (or nicer) in person as they are on their videos. Something about Long Valley I guess.

It's the heat that makes it hot

Fun to watch.

This comment may be completely, well no, it is completely out of left field, but I can’t tell you what videos like yours and Matt’s mean to people sometimes. I am a single guy in my early 30s in the San Francisco Bay area, and most of the people around here suck. It’s so hard to find wholesome traditional values and lifestyles. On top of that we have the quarantine and everyone around here locking themselves in their house for months now. It’s a shitty place and it’s even lonelier now, but with his channel and now yours, I find a bit of Wholesome Americana to inspire me as I work on my small business and dream of being a family man like you guys. Thank you for giving us a window into your wonderful life, you worked hard to make it what it is and that makes me want to work harder every day too. Skål

Awesome collaboration . Flowmasters are awesome. Subscribed.

I've always loved the "pert near" part of building custom exhaust. And I would have totally put dumps on it haha

Nice job guys! Gotta keep that banana mobile. I have always preferred the sound of the Flowmaster over Cherrybomb, especially on those straight six’s.Good choice Matt.

Theses or any of the other videos is never old

Fits like a glove. Where's that glove ?

Jaime is The Gloveometer!

You 2 guys are not working just having fun being together Tks for sharing

Every time Matt says "oww" say "Careful Matt, that's hot." He'll appreciate it. "Eyecrometers"? Sound like delicate, expensive pieces of equipment. They really need to be protected. I'd hate to see something happen to those eyecrometers! I would suggest wearing safety glasses, but they would just end up with the gloves and the marker. Great video.

It not hot it just does not take you long to expect a piece of pipe that has been welded LOL love your videos be safe have a great day and watch out for a hot objects

"These Toyota guys..." That was funny 😅

Fun day in the shop. Nice.

Double spacers on the lift arms 😬. Love it haha

The still you chose for this video is hilarious. Your sense of humor is what sets this channel above

I read a bunch of the comments, here 's a recap. People don't understand that this is not Matt's channel, apparently you need to use safety equipment, mean people say whatever they want instead of just not watching, the combo of your family and Matt's is fantastic, Mountain Dew is good, eyecrometer is a good word, and something about needing a license to use the word engineer. Please keep doing exactly what your doing, you guys are very entertaining.....Thank you.

That was ‘exhausting’ 🙂 Great video!!!

We need to see those corvairs!!!!!

That Jeep of yours is soooo cool !

Hmmm, There is Finnegan's garage, and the care that he takes when building the headers for Blasphemi, or Game Over, with the perfectly cut angles, and the purging of the tubes, and the scientific welding. Then there is Matt and Fab Rats, and their fabrication style. Polar opposites, lol. Love it!!!

at 2:30. you all are the real engineers. I work with a bunch of kids fresh out of college at boeing that aint got a lick of common sense.

Hey Paul, here is the same suggestion that I just left on Matts off road recovery channel . My original Idea was to build an off road camper trailer and power the wheels on the trailer. In short, how many home made trailers have you seen made from the back half of an old pick up truck with the drive shaft simply disconnected. The are a number of ways one could supply power again, Electric for sure would work but you would then need batteries to provide the power and they would weigh a lot plus a speed controller... A much easier way would start with a Toyota pick up rolling chassis (including engine and trans) remove the front suspension, add a hitch out front and you would be half done! All the driver of the Jeep would need is a "fly by wire" throttle for the trailer engine to provide some more push when needed on those sandy hills All in all you would have an articulated 6x6 ... Oh, one last thought, that engine on the trailer tongue could also turn a generator - think welder. PS... That lathe is awesome, that's what got me watching your channel. and in the same spirit as Matt's Corvair wagon, I built a Vega wagon back in 1988/89 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNCent1nrseZoGQ.html

"I spend more time looking for stuff than working." Boy, ain't THAT the truth! :)

Turned out great, I used to work in a muffler shop in the late 70,s we used welding rod to make a mock pipe and then bent it on a custom bender. Welding was acetylene and cutting everything with a gas torch, no such thing as a sawsall back then. Most people wanted dual exhaust especially truck owners as soon as they got a new truck.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Good thing your wife was there to keep track of all the tools. Lol

Who says KZfaq videos are not educational. I just learned a new word, "EYECROMETER". Great work!

"Give her the onions" 🤣🤣 that's gold

It's awesome to see somebody else that misplaces things as bad as I do while working on stuff in the garage

That lil elbow screwed into the diff cover is GENIUS! so stealing that idea when servicing an axle.

Future Matt here to remind you to tighten up ALL of the suspension hardware...hehehe

I sure hope that Fab Rats charges more when Matt helps.

You need to tell Matt that he needs to bring this silly fun version of Matt back to his channel.

4.0's sound good with a chambered muffler. I had an 89' with a towing cam and a super 44 in it. It had a little lope to it :)

Great video thank you!

Glad I’m not the only one that keeps looking for a tool or pen while working on a vehicle.

Wonderful engineer and excellent workshop.. 👍💯💯OOO

Nice! That Flowmaster exhaust sounds good!

the muffler puzzle is complete and sounds good !!!!the Toyota part helped;)

I know I'm a little late with this but, when I was a kid my mother sowed a heavy string to each of my gloves and ran it up thru the sleeves on my coat. I could take my gloves off but never loose them. They were always there when I needed them. Ha Ha your Awesome.

With that youtube money, all that moddin' is free. Good stuff. That Jeep does some incredible stuff.

My buddy Jesse put his muffler high as he could go too and it cooked the rear floor carpet. Looks good

Man I feel you when you say you spend more time looking for stuff then actually working... I hate wrenching these days just because of that :)

Good video , can’t wait for next one

haha!! Just put the same flowmaster on my truck!! Funny timing!!!

My man said my eye crometer ...... I LOVE IT

Last father's day my wife and kids bought me 10 pair of work gloves. Best present ever.

I was looking at drifting. Then that lead me to diecast toy car racing, to Matt, and now I'm here. 😄

13:30 You say you are going to do a tip turn-down to Matt and you guys agree as if it’s an understood the thing do. Does that serve a particular purpose, The slight downward deflection? I have turn downs (and outs) on my Camaro right before the rear axle but that’s just to get the exhaust away from, well, the rear axle. On older cars the hidden turn downs were standard, now all cars have straight out the back exhaust that can be seen(style), and now after seeing this my curiosity is killing me! Also, nice mom joke to whoever was filming LOL Little John would be proud

Eyecrometer, I LOVE it...............I'm so stealing that one!

Great Bleepin Job! Making all those turns in exhaust is the hardest!

Amazing job getting that truck off the cliff!!!!! Since y'all had to fix the shock and exhaust along the way this video was I figured my best option to leave a comment about it! ✌🐢

I *WISH* I spent as much time working as I do looking for stuff,,,,,,,,I’m amazed the banana doesn’t have a skid plate protecting the fuel cell.

Came over from Matt’s channel, love the shop. I agree I do more looking then working!

First rule of welding. Just because it is not still glowing red, it is still HOT!

Love the vids!!! Am a 35 yr disabled fabricatior/ welder. Thin was my game!!

This is more fun than going to disneyland....................And it is free!!!!!!

the comment i miss the old days , DO I EVER , my wife and i sold the tickets for the derby at the W C FAIR.AND THEN WE WENT TO THE SOUTH END ,KEEPING PEOPLE BACK FROM THE FIRE TRUCK ECT ,THE GREAT OLD DAYS. So glad Matt has some toy parts on his jeep ,THAT'S A START, i have a 88 toy i bought new , i am so glad i am not the only one who can't find my gloves

I came over from Matt’s OffRoad Recovery. Subscribed, I’m a Toyota guy too 👍🏻. 4Runner😎
