Thats my XJ! It is not stock but barely lifted, its 2" in the front 3.5" in the rear on 31s. Jeeps home safe and needs work but all is good now thanks to you guys! Edit: the reason i was on the trail was to re-create a picture my dad took in my grandpa's 45 Willys on poison spider (mission successful) but along the way early on into poison spider a group adopted us so we stuck with them. The reason we left the Jeep was it took us 5ish hours to get there and since we were dead center if the trail it was 5 hours each way. It broke at 4:45pm. We got out the other end of the trail at about 10:00pm and we had school in a town 3 hours away.
Not to burst your bubble man its stock. Dudes out there running tires almost double the size of yours and have trouble getting places with full lockers,doublers gear reduction everything. I give ya a handshake tho for having the nuts to do it and pretty good driving.
Oops! I read the description of the video and started to read the comments, thought I'd better watch the show to see what speaking Cherokee 18:04 was all about.
Wow between Mike's superb camera work and now Justin's drone flying the quality of the Trail Mater channel has risen multiple times over. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. Thanks all. PS Shaun is no slouch with the camera either!
For those interested, jeeps have a canbus system which means if a couple of wires short, the jeep will die. From his description, i bet the wiring harness that is near the front axle has a pinched or bare wire. I learned that the hard way.
It's called a ring topology for a network that consists of a point-to-point connection. If a connection breaks it can no longer pass information along. Very similar to the old series wired Christmas lights where one bulb went out they all went out.
Those darn transmission mount bolts on the XJ almost got me too. I picked up a vibration when mine worked loose and disappeared. Luckily, I noticed it when I stopped to check things out and as I went to unscrew the T-Case fill plug to check the fluid the whole t-case and trans shifted as I tried to turn the wrench. Looked closely at the mount and noticed the two bolts holding the mount were GONE! Now I carry a couple extra spares in my tool kit.
Congrats Rory and Mrs Rory on the wedding..thank you for awesome videos Enjoy everything you guys do always laugh with you guys...thank you keep up the amazing work
I had the same issue blowing fuse M19 on my 2012 JK. It turns out that the ASD wire that runs to one of the injectors was rubbing on a head bolt and had shorted out. It only took about 10 fuses to track it down, and a good bit of electrical tape to patch it up. The wiring harness had not been secured after some previous service and that allowed the wires at the injector to contact the head bold.
Great job on the recoveries!! Nice camera work on the trail shots too!! You guys are always a good watch because it's always different and you get the job done no matter what! Love it!!!
Just awesome if you replace everything below the frame rails and rewire it so the safety's don't kill it when you tip more than 4 degrees. Keep your electroplastic crap in the mall parking lot where it belongs. Please don't block our trails cuz your fuse 18 blows and shuts your whole rig off. I got better stuff to do than wait for wanna be off roaders to calm their scared little jeeps down enough to get them into limp mode so they can tiptoe off the bunny hills. Pure junk
For the last week I've been off roading in Arizona off Eagle eye road. This morning, I hooked up the Jeep and headed to a new spot. I flat tow my Jeep behind my RV. After arriving, I unhooked and as I was backing up, I lost all steering. Fortunately, I had the tools to remove the drag link that had separated at the ball joint and thank my lucky stars I wasn't in the middle of nowhere and hanging off a cliff.
What a Halloween present Mater doing 3 recovery's and what an adventure it was with the beautiful scenery and all! Sometimes these guys experience with these vehicles is unparalleled and spot on in getting these guys out! Good video!
Heck yeah! an XJ on 31's with a 2" budget lift is the peak of 4wd capability per dollar! I've put 15K into my XJ since I wheeled that setup and it's maybe 25% more capable. Also, XJs don't mysteriously stop working when you drop off a small bump!
First place to check on a jku is front passenger by the sway bar. That wiring loom can get pinched and chewed up causing havoc. Had that happen to two rigs I have wheeled with and learning that has saved our bacon before. Once in the middle of the rubicon
Awesome video. We were in Moab back in July came all the way from Kansas. Stopped by your shop didn’t get to meet you guys but picked up a bunch of merch and got to sit in trail mater. Can’t wait to go back. We rented a jeep and did poison spider and some other trails while we were there.
Loving the drone footage. Laura Farms had some from a night harvest his week which was absolutely spectacular, and that was in a Nebraskan cornfield. Imagine it on a moonlight night in Utah!
There was a trail you guys used to be on all the time and I never see it anymore. A very tall and steep step up with a 90° turn at the top. Has winch anchors in it. I even seem to recall the boom hitting a customers hood on it once. Can't remember the name of it.

Favorite Jeep ever
Wheeoh! Waited so long for a trailmater video I thought I'd be pitching in for the hospital bill!
Glad you got home safe. Sounds like a loose wire grounded out, hope it is an easy fix. 😊😊

Xj wheel really good
😂 Shawn speaks cherokee is the best line I've heard ever heard on here😂 my wife and I both burst out laughing at that one.
Oh that view down to 191 was amazing
Shawn speaks Cherokee......I truly enjoy you guys. Congrats Rory.
I thought he was Navajo? Related to the Code Talkers. The last one recently died, RIP, Hero!
Oops! I read the description of the video and started to read the comments, thought I'd better watch the show to see what speaking Cherokee 18:04 was all about.
A joke started by a white man whose creative thought was to misappropriate a nation to name a vehicle.
Congratulations again to. Rory for getting married..
Wow between Mike's superb camera work and now Justin's drone flying the quality of the Trail Mater channel has risen multiple times over. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. Thanks all.
PS Shaun is no slouch with the camera either!
That view was incredible... (15:07)
"Yeah, I'll follow you."
Folks, I just love this little running gag of the Trailmater crew... 😁🤘
Nice recovery of that Cherokee...that b was able to go that far.
Justin's drone work is always appreciated! 👍
When Shawn ran out to the overlook, I leaned back in my chair. When Rory went down/out on the little point, I slid my chair back about 2 feet. 😮😊
I liked it when Rory jumped on it. If it broke off, we would all miss him, but Chris would miss him the most.
I thought he was going to take a leak, that would be an epic spot to take one. Not that I would want it filmed.

11:30 love when Rory takes the scenic route🤩💚❣️
My Jeep XJ, but in Moab!! Exactly. Proud of my 23yo beast. 173k, just did the rear main seal.
9:31 congratulations Rory on your marriage!
Congrats, Chris and Rory! Wish you both a wonderful life together!
Excellent recoverys guys.....the views are always breathtaking and exciting....thanks for taking me along!!
Congratulations Rory and Chris!
"So as I understand it we got a jeep of some king with some kind of issue". Geez that is one great piece of information right there!
I've been around welding so much that sometimes I look away when you guys weld!! It's instinctual. 😅😂
Ya, i swear it burns my eyes! 😂
I cover the spark with my finger...😂.
I wear my welding helmet watching these vids.
@rickcampbell372 Hahahaha 😅 💥
@Aaron.M.Solomon 💥😅
Awesome, good to see ole Justin hanging out. Great work, guys 🇺🇸
15:20, OH SHIT !! The shot from that height just made my taint tighten and tingle so hard I had to look away ! I just wasn’t ready for it.
Cherokees are so capable stock and cheap to modify. I have one and love it. I have modded mine and really enjoy it.
There’s nothing better than a “rescuee” who knows everything except how to be rescued.
Shawn speaks Cherokee. Best comment in the whole video. I am glad then three of you are such great friends
Thanks Rory for showcasing the 3 Trailmater team members individual and team skills/knowledge in this video.
I busted out laughing when Rory was standing on that rock, turned, and did that little shake and "ahh" thing. Thanks, guys.
Rory, Irish trail Mater is the best off road recovery team in the world
Thumbs up 👍, Rory at it again
I stopped at trailmater shop last week.
And met Mrs Irish! What a lucky man UR! It was such a pleasure to meet her!
thanks Rory and crew for the off-road recovery vids!
Rory looking starry eyed at the Cherokee, me too. Sure was generous to give Shawn yours!!! He was definitely going to let Shawn drive Buggy out😂
Manly
15:08 thank you for that view!
We LOVE our 2000 Freedom model. 381k miles now. Still 55 psi oil pressure cold and 21 mpg.
Hollywood level camera kudos on the linkage. Thank you for it.
Those darn transmission mount bolts on the XJ almost got me too. I picked up a vibration when mine worked loose and disappeared.

Little xj did well after got linkage fixed 190 view was one awesome overlook, great video
Congrats Rory and Mrs Rory on the wedding..thank you for awesome videos
Enjoy everything you guys do always laugh with you guys...thank you keep up the amazing work
I have had a stressful day, thanks for the break. Always great videos.
Thanks, Mike. We haven't seen those shots in a while.
Congratulations to Rory and Chris. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Nice view of the entrance to Arches. Great recoveries.

Well done you guys. How good is Shaun, speaks Cherokee too.
Happy trails Rory and Chris, enjoy life, that's what its for.
Congratulation Rory and Chris

Too much electronic gobbledygook in today’s cars.
Congratulations, Rory and Chris!
Justin - thanks for the super cool drone shots!
Great job on the recoveries!! Nice camera work on the trail shots too!! You guys are always a good watch because it's always different and you get the job done no matter what! Love it!!!
WOW... Lots of traffic on the trail 🙂 bumper to bumper in some places 😂 Great driving on the very stock recovery Jeep Shawn 🙂 Thanks for Sharing
XJ's are just awesome.

I liked the video before I watched it - always quality content 👍
Thanks for yet another awesome video with the most amazing scenery
I love those drone shots! So pretty!

Great job guys. Thank you 😊
I Appreciate the absence of music, thanks guys!
What a Halloween present Mater doing 3 recovery's and what an adventure it was with the beautiful scenery and all! Sometimes these guys experience with these vehicles is unparalleled and spot on in getting these guys out! Good video!
CONGRATULATIONS MR. & MRS. IRISH
Shawn ( Sean) is a psychic he was able to identify a broken jeep on site hahaha. Matt
Thank you for taking us along!
Is that a drone over there... keep going, keep going, keep going, right there... oh, its a plane. lol!
Great recoveries! Thank you for sharing. Maybe my XJ could actually do some of those trails. Hopefully one day
Great show, keep up the great banter and work your office is so so cool.
Great job again.

"Shaun speaks Cherokee" that was funny
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Great video guys!
Love the drone footage on hr living through u guys till EJS thanks
Nothing better than an XJ
I love the sound of the buggy sounds great.
In the opening shot the vent pipes on the toilets make Rory’s truck look like it has huge stacks 😂
Congrats Rory 👍
Out of Beer ! Out of here ! Thanks for sharing !
Woohoo!!!
Trail mater!!
Great job awesome recovery
Nice supercharged mobile welder...! Thanx !
I love the Thumbnail for this video
Great work boys. Keep it up
Another great video, thanks.
Shawn is the XJ whisperer
I new XJ's were good stock to wheel in , i had no idea they were this good to handle some pretty serious trails in Moab 👍
Thank you guys
First place to check on a jku is front passenger by the sway bar. That wiring loom can get pinched and chewed up causing havoc. Had that happen to two rigs I have wheeled with and learning that has saved our bacon before. Once in the middle of the rubicon
Good idea to clarify what a short cut means to you . Nice video !
Dang! That's a lot of traffic!
Happy Halloween Rory, Mike, Sean and Justin, Lets NOT forget about the best person in the shop Lilli......
And Chris. AKA Mrs. Irish.
Awesome video. We were in Moab back in July came all the way from Kansas. Stopped by your shop didn’t get to meet you guys but picked up a bunch of merch and got to sit in trail mater. Can’t wait to go back. We rented a jeep and did poison spider and some other trails while we were there.
Ayeeee saving my favorite Jeep (xj) nice work Rory!
4.0 is bulletproof, I had 4 of them and everyone made it over 230xxx without engine work
Loving the drone footage. Laura Farms had some from a night harvest his week which was absolutely spectacular, and that was in a Nebraskan cornfield. Imagine it on a moonlight night in Utah!
I enjoy the variety of cameras. I miss the boom cam from Trail Mater. Chopper cam is cool.
Some good ropes guys
I have a 99 xj with 345,000 + miles on it. Thing has always been like driving on velcro with fuzzy tires, wouldn't trade it for anything
There was a trail you guys used to be on all the time and I never see it anymore. A very tall and steep step up with a 90° turn at the top. Has winch anchors in it. I even seem to recall the boom hitting a customers hood on it once. Can't remember the name of it.
Good eye Shawn on the full size drone 🤣
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
Love your videos
Congratulations to you Rory and Chris on your marriage.
Congrats on your wedding Rory.
