4runner On The Devils Racetrack
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Got a call from a guy that was up on top of the San Rafael Swell in an area called the Devils Racetrack. He said he had lost 4WD and he thought the front differential had broken. We assumed it was probably an axleshaft so we took one with us. We trailer up to a rest stop on I-70 then unloaded and headed in. We got to the vehicle and got it backed down the hill and into a wider ares to repair. Turns out it was the driver front axleshaft so we swapped it quick and they were able to drive it out. Back at the shop we were doing some maintenance/repairs on Trailmater. The driver wheel studs broke so we had to replace them. While we were there we did new wheel bearings and noticed the leaf spring center pin had broke. After taking that out we realized the main spring had broke. So we patched it while waiting on new parts to get here. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

A pretty astute observation from the young customer "you guys are just a bunch of friends getting paid to have fun". A simple explanation why this channel is so popular
could not agree more!!
Yeah, what a great place to work everyday. Beautiful outdoors!
Ya the boy is at 40 psi ramrodding through everything wondering why he broke ?? 🤣
Exactly!!
They gave it away by laughing while they "work."
Rory: I want a job where I drive around on mountain goat trails and fix peoples cars.
H.S. Career Counselor: That's not a thing.
Rory: Well, then I'll make it a thing.
And I’m super happy that Mike got Arby’s!
But those poor Doritos!
Sorry to hijack: I asked to both of you, what are the brand/model of line locks you use on the wreckers?
Darn you. Now I can’t get that delicious roast beef sandwich out of my mind.
The camaraderie of the Trailmater bunch of friends along with the scenery is what keeps me following this channel.
Your bags will probably keep the flies off your sockets, but it ain’t gonna keep em Ziploc fresh.
Mike, "the Doritos are down". Rory, "we'll have Dorito soup". Rory in his laugh then says "we'll do a line of Doritos" and then laugh some more. Got to love that laugh. You guys just have way too much fun doing your job. I wish I had that much fun doing my job. Enjoy your Arby's!!!!
I know. 😂😂😂 I want that on a shirt: We'll do a line of Doritos.
I like the way Mike talks and shows a little of the plants. I live in the UK, I have never been anywhere quite like where you are. Great to see you all having a laugh and a joke. Great work, enjoy life!
I’m in Utah, but don’t get out as much anymore. I also came here to say I appreciate mikes stopping-to-smell-the-flower skills.

"You guys are just a bunch of friends getting paid to have fun"
That must be the description of the best job in the world! 👌
What a life!!!!!
And they rarely have to answer a late night tow job as most can wait for daybreak.
I love that Mike takes time to smell the roses. keep it up, boys!
The "tree" is a BLM approved recharge station for the elusive Diamond Billed Rock Pecker.
Thanks! I did not know the Diamond Billed Rock Peckers are battery operated.
@@jaynecobb3701 That's why Mike carries a USB powerbank, in case he finds one that's out of juice.
Rory you got alot of trust in Shawn with that rubber mallet..😂
TrailMater and team always makes the day better!! Let's go!!
Camera: $500
New CV axle: $80
Filming it with your friends for other peoples enjoyment... Priceless.
Rory, you are the best Off Road towing professional. You need to get a snow cat.
Rory, you were great showing that young lady what was wrong. Had to laugh at her comment about his Mom seeing his poor decisions on the internet. 😂😂
I don't know why but when that young lady quipped that the Dude's mom would have to see his poor decision making on the Interwebs, I wondered WHY she would hold such a feeling particularlly to his detriment. His mon wouldn't know how to evaluate this particular situation and unless the woman colored the event with her own bias in explaining why they were stuck and what led up to it. I shouted at him through my monitor that he needs a NEW YT Channel of his own and especially a new girlfriend/wife/+1. In the game of life she may be 'broke to lead' but she sure ain't 'broke to ride'.
What a great trail repair - towing that out looks like it would have been *fun.... And the leaf spring action to boot - what a great episode, friends as well. Thanks all
Putting lockers in my old 4Runners is the best thing I ever did for it. It's been through Devil's Racetrack, no problems. Good thing they put that cell tower "tree" out there so people can call you when they break down.
That space tree is a cell tower in disguise. We have quite a few in CT. Giant Aspen trees where no aspens ever grow. Very well disguised 😂😂
Well she seems nice. Just what every guy needs. Someone to always point out when you fuck up! That poor kid
Too bad the guys couldnt r&r that gf.
Was thinking the same thing. What a nag.
Come on! She was joking - you guys are harsh.
I had to laugh when I noted that the stuff I wheel over you guys drive over. Thanks for the video. Play through.
Those poor Doritos. At least you got Arbys as a consolation prize.
Fun seeing a trail I havent seen before. Not quite as pretty as the red rocks, but scenic enough. If you dont ram the front wheel of your old 4Runner on a rock and break things. They probably got tired of that scenery waiting for rescue.
I love seeing Trail Mater coming to the rescue. Awesome rig, awesome team. Lotsa laughs for us viewers. Love it all.
Oh man, the secrets out. You guys are a bunch of friends getting paid to have fun. I knew it all along. That’s what makes your channel so popular and what keeps all of us coming back for more. Well, that and the beautiful Moab scenery. Thanks for another video with friends having fun and great scenery.
Watching at the Canyon Steak & Waffle again since there's not enough signal at Bobcat campground. 😆 👍
Love the welders dance Rory! 😆😆
Mike, thank you for the close up of the pretty little paintbrush flower. 🖌🌟
You can weld spring steel with some expensive rod, some of which is named "super missile weld" The number is 120xx. Works well with your DC welder. I have four welded main leaves on my trailer that have held together for over 40 years now. It has lots of nickel and chrome in it and the weld will never rust, and has pretty colors in it too
It's always a good day when there's a TrailMater video to watch!
Thanks for sharing guys! 🇨🇦
Trail Mater exposed a bunch of friends getting paid to have fun LOL. I like it!!
Your "Tree" is a Cell Phone Tower, lots of them across the country now. 👌
First thing I thought when seeing the "tree" was cell tower. I see most comments agree to that.
Great recovery, can't believe that guy was dimed out like that. I would not call it "poor decisions", I call it making making memories!! You guys are awesome as always and I really appreciate the beautiful scenery provided in all your video's.
Got those Pine tree cell towers in Maryland near the rich neighborhoods that think they are to good to look at a normal cell tower.
In the Columbia river gorge on the Washington side Beacon rock state park there is a cell tower that looks like a giant Fir tree that has been there for 20 years 😁
Have one in the middle of a golf course in the U.P.

Everything breaks in the backcountry, it can happen to anyone, mistakes are learning experiences. If you haven’t made mistakes you probably don’t have enough experience.
Just a bunch of friends getting paid to have fun... DREAM JOB!!!!!!
It would be so cool to go back in time . Just to see how some of are landscape in this world was made . 💯 % made .
That lady's comments cracked me up, I know nothing about car's - - - - - What broke? Keep learning never give up, new adventure every day.
Great video guys, well done trail repair. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You do an awesome job explaining where you do your recovery’s!
Dance moves along with all the other skills; Rory is multi talented.
Cool stuff! Getting better and better! Never stop doing this guys! Love your Sling Blade, Rory! 😊 A little side note … I was camping with my truck camper for a few days … no Internet … so had to catch up. Just put a comment on the previous video and one of the things I said … because I saw those white blossoms Mike took a shot of in passing … was ‘You’ll have to take a closeup of some of those blossoms before they are all gone, Mike.’ Then I look at this video … and sure enough, it’s almost as if Mike read my mind … there’s a closeup of a flower blossom. Thanks, Mike.😊
Love seeing the inner workings of ole mater thanks for showing us very cool
My 6 year old son and I absolutely LOVE the Devils Racetrack and Eva Conover area! That shirt that gal is wearing, Solesbees Auto Crafts in Yorba Linda CA, was the shop that did all the auto body repairs on our mission vehicles in the LDS mission I served in. Great folks!
Keep up the good work love watching you on RUclips
Suggestion: Organize the packouts into a chair shape. Put Mike up there for even better shots of the scenery!
👥🤝💰 "The young customer hit the nail on the head with that observation! It's true, you guys seem like a group of friends having a blast while getting paid. That's the secret to the popularity of this channel - genuine camaraderie and enjoyment. Keep up the great work on the Devels Racetrack, it's a thrilling ride! 🚗🔥👌"
Awesome scenery fast half shaft replacement… the customer still looks like was whisky throttling it going out of the trail after the repair. His driveline will break again.
Rory and crew are always making the impossible look easy.
yeah he was not slow and steady on that throttle.
Cool Pic of Indian Paint Brush !!! 👍👍👍
Wow those rock cliffs are awesome
Former cellular/wireless engineer, yes those "fake trees" are super common, we also have fake palm trees, and fake fiberglass boulders for the tops of mountains that have no trees on them. Lots of church steeples/belltowers also contain cellular sites in them. Anywhere they go, somebody is collecting rent from the cellular companies.
This video is 🔥! Recovery, trail repair, Moab beauty,🛸 suspense, leaf spring love! Thank you for sharing Rory 💚❣️ Hugs... The springs were practically new.
cool looking spot
I like that Mike take a few shots of the plant life. Amazing what can survive in a desert.
The Dorito pop was hilarious
We got them comms masts masquerading as trees here in Scotland too, think it's an aesthetic thing.
The power plant sounds HEALTHY...
Excellent recovery Rory & helper.....frickn cam shots were amazing !!!... in front then swing around to show the other vehicle coming !!..... thanks for sharing this with us.....love the style !!
You have to expect stuff will break when off-roading. Drive it like you own it & have fun. The cat's out of the bag now about getting paid to have fun. Still a lot of hard work. Good video. Thanks for sharing
Nice to have you all around when you break down. You made that fix look easy.
Straight up Roadrunner cartoon country there. You should've gotten an ACME sponsorship!
You guys are blessed with the beautiful scenery. I’m jealous. Good job. Ouch. Watch the fingers.
Leaving Dortio chips on the trail so you can find your way home. Nice.
Love the out-takes. Seems that the fake trees we have here in MA were carried west by Johnny Appleseed. Gotta have that cellular service so you can share the pictures of the trail flora or call for Rory to come to the rescue. Keep up the good work of being stewards of Moab's trails. Take Care.
Awesome recovery, guys, and beautiful country! Cannot forget all the shenanigans😂
Regarding fake steel trees, a number of years ago I was working in Fort McMurray Alberta on an oil sands plant. It was just before Christmas and we went out on days off. When we returned, there was a large 20' high steel Christmas tree located about 100' in the air on a steel structure complete with lights. Seems a group of iron workers who had been kept back on their days off had decided to get into the Christmas spirit and built the tree and installed it on double time wages. The powers that be calculated that the tree had cost north of $20,000 to create. Management took great umbrage to this waste of capital funds and fired the whole lot including the foreman and crane operator that hauled it up there which was bad, but the tree stayed which was good.
Warning to iron workers, if you are going to build a tree do it on straight time not double time and you might keep your job.....lol
Welding in shorts is always fun. It's not the sparks on the legs, it the sparks in your shoes that get you. If you want to have yourself a great time get a little red hot BB down between your ankle and your shoe.
Beautiful country, thanks for taking me along for the ride!👍👍
cool shot of the flower mike, life uhh, finds a way
Hmmmmm not adding this trail to my list; if Rory says no it ain't gonna make it ;-) what a great trail fix and video! you guys rock!! Now I am super intrigued what that strange looking fake tree was.
The customer nailed it. That's why this channel is so fun to watch.
It’s a cell tower. We have those in Oregon too. They blend in a little better here as there are big trees
Available in ZA since the late 90's already. Comes in all different varieties.
Thanks for that. I was wondering what the heck that was. I was guessing radio tower or something of the sort, but was confused since it was not on top of a hill. Around here all our cell and radio towers are on top of ridges and hills.
@@simpledj509chromo7 mostly the same here but near and in the cities the make them look like funky trees
Great video guys! What scenery? Like watching the repairs on Trailmater!
Rory, all I'm saying is: you're _my_ little classic beef-n-cheddar. 🤗
I love the fancy smart watch in white, while rollin in the dirt, hes a fellow man of class. LOL
Seams as Mike's hunger drove the recovery. 😅😅😅😅😊
I always love seeing trail repairs....
Warren would appreciate that!
Thats one of them charging trees, you know for the robotic turkeys so they can charge up at night!
My son mainlines Doritos - he eats several at a time, rather than eat one at a time...
Beautiful scenery, great recovery and shop time too! WOO-HOO!!!
Love the "Swell" so cool you did a recovery there. Know that spot pretty well...Great episode...love the shop work as well...I always learn something...What to do...and what Not to do...hahahah
Jup, that boy figured it out! And that's why we all watch!
Another amazing trail repair! This is why i have MMS in my contacts for when im out there
As with always you do a great job Rory and the Gang.... This crew is top drawer.... they seem to always be on call (a rare occurrence in todays work force) Rory and the gang are the best.....
Good morning Shawn, Mike and Rory 🙂 No zip-lock bags 😂🤣😂 Nice tree... I saw cell towers in Apache Junction that were shaped like Palm Trees... I guess It is nice they are attempting to make them blend in.... 🤔
Your welding sounds like a high pitched version of the cannon on the A-10 Warthog.
There is a fake tree cell tower in with the other pine trees north of Colorado Springs near an old rest area. I had a 1977 4runner like that, same color, got 363,000 miles out of it.
I believe the m gonna come out there and break down just so I can meet Rory and the guys. Seem like my kind of people 😀
Picked up my rockpecker shirt at the shop the other week. Goes over great at the birding events at home.
Thank you Mike for all the scenery shots. Utah is beautiful.
You and your team always go above and beyond to help everyone on the trail. Looks like the Toyota has bigger tires without any suspension lifts
Stumbled on to the channel.
You guys are awesome!
If I get in trouble I hope folks like you are around.
I love seeing Trailmater get worked on. Makes me appreciate the kind of equipment it takes to do all of the recoveries. Keep up the good work.
Nice Sling Blade impression Carl 🤣
I caught that too there towards the end. He's done that a few times now over the past year.
Love this because it doesn't feel like "content" no forced cheesy dialogue or clickbait titles or video gimmicks, please keep it this way! (I had to stop watching the 'other' channel)
Yep, you were caught out by the 4Runner guy, not really working at all, just some good friends getting paid to have fun in one of the most unbelievably scenic areas in the world! I see you having some more fun keeping that very capable wrecker maintained, even if temporary that was a very pretty weld.
You guys are great welders.
Once again good job team. Moab Squad one big I'm skinny and the other one Redskin.
Yes it's the trail Mater's to the rescue.🤙🏾👍🏽🤘🏾☝🏾✌🏽👊🏽🤚🏽🤣😂🙋🏽♂️😊✌🏽
That was another great video Rory...........
Mike great filming. love the scenery shots.
Keep up the good work, love watching you on your channel.
Great stuff as usual!
Mike's cinematography is like a mobile Bob Ross painting.
@4:52 "Do you think your mom will be happy that your stupid decisions will be on the internet forever?" 😅😅
Now I'm glad I grew up before the internet! 😂😅
Rory I always enjoy your videos you guys know how to work and have fun at the same time.
This was definitely an interesting video since that suspicious Tree which isn't a tree was a cool Discovery.
"Rock Pecker" shirts truly an insiders merchandise 😊
