    "we've done a bunch of stuff wrong...we've seen the comments." Love your attitude brother. In the end it's your build and your sharing it with the world..I appreciate what you've done and I'm excited to see the results of your labor. Thanks for the awesome content. 👍🤘

    I am a cat person, and I love seeing your calm and relaxed cat wandering around and checking things out. My 3 cats do the same thing in my shop. Whenever I bring something new into my shop, it will eventually be inspected and thoroughly smelled. Sometimes when I have a problem, I will sit in my chair to "think" about how I am going to solve the issue, and one of my cats will jump into my lap and put in a petting request. It is almost always a welcome event for me. Even if I do not necessarily WANT the attention that I am getting at the time, I will always fulfill the petting request. It always ends well for both of us.

    You build the truck the way you want it !! It's your truck and your channel ! You and the team are doing a great job !!!!
  • @bawrenches
    Looking SWEET. Fab Rats logo mud flaps for the duals!
  • @BeagleIL
    You need to cut some rectangles into the side rails of the new bed, so that you can add stake-bed railing for hauling loose stuff like logs. And then you can tilt that bed high enough to "dump". It's a combination flatbed hauler and stakebed dump truck!
  • @gregferris9378
    Seems like the idea of cutting a bad section out to get the length you want would have been ideal.
  • @robertutech1685
    Paul, something to consider: You may need to add a bed lockdown system. We had a truck with a hoist that I hauled cars on. When I partially raised the bed to load, the hydraulic cylinder would extend when the weight was on the end of the bed. Then once loaded, as I would go down the road the front of the bed would bounce. I mounted chain tighteners on each side to hold it in place. If your power unit has "power down" function and a tight valve, it may not be an issue. I really enjoy your work ethic and willingness to show your thought process and sometimes mistakes. I laugh with you! Makes your videos "real". Keep up the good work!

    Underground miner here. 12 months is the absolute max for boots. TGoods have been the longest lasting so far. It’s hard to take a chance on different boots when the current ones work.
  • @assocrec
    absolutely need Fab Rats logo mud flaps for the duals! Might be my favorite fab to date..you guys rock
  • @deandennis2838
    Y’all make this look easy, which I’m sure it’s not. I 65 and too old and worn out to even consider this type of work. But it is sure fun to watch!! Y’all make me feel 25 years younger!! I’ve been pondering this question in my mind recently. Who is my favorite creator of awesome content. It came to me last night during the fourth time I needed to use the restroom. The laughter you provide makes everything come out so fine. Sorry for the crude humor. 🙂 You win first prize!!!
  • @joryblack9343
    Glad you're still leaving options open to make the bed slide back still. I'm pretty confident you'll be able to figure out how to make it a true roll back at some point!
  • @marvincarter870
    Michelle is quite the sprinter she really kicked in the afterburners against those guys! Always good to see Grandma Lolly! Sean is a great asset to the team and so is Hunter!
  • @edwardkenny2356
    I don't care what anyone says, how long it took, you guys did/do some great work. I love it! 😊
  • @lugnuts7800
    Love the Ratback! Keeps getting better and better all the time. Good job! God bless you all.
  • @user-mp2qj6rs9c
    Anyone know why the radio silence between the fab rats and MORR crews? I can't remember the last time they were together in a video and they go to st George and no visit with Matt? I've noticed the lack of communication for a while but can't remember a reason. Maybe I'm just a tin hat dude but they always seemed really close.
  • @BEARHUGOUTDOORS
    You’re doing it all right !! Don’t listen what those haters say !!
  • @devinhood8502
    DOOLEY wheels in the back would be cool but dual axles in the back would be iconic! Keep up the good work guys Paul Michelle love what you guys are doing always searching for the next video!❤
  • @brianboehmer43
    Found your channel through Matt a few years ago. Now its the only one I really watch consistently
