While we were out on the trail at Easter Jeep Safari, we got a recovery call. A Jeep needed help near the Hot Tubs. #easterjeepsafari #trailmater #ejs2022
Lol the whole time you were climbing the trail around 5 minutes 23 seconds I was amazed at you that bird never flapped once but stayed in the exact same place the whole time. Took me a good 20 seconds to realize it wasn't a bird
I've been watching Rory for some time and just love the way he can throw his wrecker about the trails; he makes the difficult ones look easy, I admire his ability so much. I've been watching your channel for about 6 to 8 weeks, and I believe your wrecker is much heavier than Rory's. It never ceases to amaze me how well you handle your machine. Your knowledge and driving skills are awesome as well. Thank you for this scary video and thank goodness you didn't have to tow one out, glad you all got out safe.
Most people don't take full size trucks on those trails let alone full size tow trucks in terrain different from what you're used to great video thanks
Got to see it in person but I don't think I got the cojones to even try it with the Wrangler Rubicon it had to be some modifications, I sure would hate to be up there and have some rain come through, I bet that would be hairy, dang
This is a super cool video. I seen Rory and other RUclipsrs do some of the tricky spots out through there, but I'm glad you took the time to show the scenery in some of the spots that most RUclipsrs don't show.
If Rory says it spooks him towing down that hill, you already know it will be a place mear mortals don’t want to go. Definitely fix on the trail if at all possible.
Awesome video. You definitely called the right man for the job. Rory knows his stuff about trail repair and crawlers. He's the go to man on those trails.
The camera does not do that hill justice. It does not look that bad. But if you and Rory are saying it's nuts, then it is nuts. Great video - keep them coning.
Excellent choice and video Eric. Thanks for not having music cover up the sounds of the truck. Almost feel like you are riding along. Man that eagle sure stayed still a long time, lol.
That in-cab footage is so odd to watch! It feels like you've missed the line but then the front pops up and I realize that it's just the wide angle that makes it look different than it really is
That years of experience pays off again no need to put any unnecessary stress on the wrecker and your ticker towing out a trip like that ,like Kenny said you gotta know when to hold em and know when to fold em . Rory just needs to get a sikorsky sky crane and just fly the rig out they can handle up to 20,000 lbs just wouldn't want the fuel bill lol
Hoo Wee I heard a stressed exhale and you can feel the silence in the cab. I’m sure that is intense as all can be. It’s beautiful but I’d probably be nervous seem whiled. Like still sand dunes you have to go slow. Great driving man you guys have some impressive skills, Godbless.
Smart move repairing it so you don't have to hook it. Those square body trucks very hard to see out of even with the corner markers when doing those trails, might be better off with an early 50's International or similar truck cab on there. Thanks for sharing.
That’s a lot of tire rubber wear and some road oils from the pavement that was picked up on the tire surfaces coming off on that rock surface on the trail. Some environmentslist will soon be requiring special tires and tire wash before riding the trail.
That was smart calling Rory and doing a trail repair if that hill spooks Rory someone who is fearless there is no way I would ever try it. Driving that hill going down is challenging there is no way I would tow a vehicle down it.
Looking at the trail, it appears completely rubbered in, so the levels of grip must be sky high. Must be some consolation especially when relying on engine braking down those steep inclines?
The wrecker sure is a cool looking truck you know it could probably use the diet and get around better in the mud and on these trails you go out to visit
Sitting here in my chair at the PC in Melbourne Australia the view from the front windscreen on the way back is fabulous and I would be too busy looking out the windows at the scenery instead of driving.. haha..
Started watching/ subscribed back when you first got that 1 ton when the other one broke the frame, you painted it up looked really nice now it looks like you been running it 25 years!
If say race you must race if you say sail you must sail if you say recovery you must do that.Thats why Matts recovery and Fab Rats is killing them selfs.Fab Rats must stick to fabrication .
Lol the whole time you were climbing the trail around 5 minutes 23 seconds I was amazed at you that bird never flapped once but stayed in the exact same place the whole time. Took me a good 20 seconds to realize it wasn't a bird
Seat over, you being mighty quit!!! Beautiful country. Enjoyed
Excellent upload .
Fantastic 👍👍

You should add one of these welders to the wrecker so you can weld things up in the woods when you can.
I can see a welder being added to ole red in the near future😁
Most people don't take full size trucks on those trails let alone full size tow trucks in terrain different from what you're used to great video thanks
@17:55
He's looking back and saying, "Come on chicken, just do it!".
Hey! Love the video.. Do you not have a onboard welder? If not might be a good little investment. Along with a small compressor.
Got to see it in person but I don't think I got the cojones to even try it with the Wrangler Rubicon it had to be some modifications, I sure would hate to be up there and have some rain come through, I bet that would be hairy, dang
Camera doesn't do it justice but you can still get a bit of an idea of how steep these hills are.
i can see an aluminum bed being added. to save some weight on your rig.
i bet it pushing 9k. if not a tad more.
love the incab footage.
It is over 9k he has weighed it.
@@badgerpa9 thanks i probably seen it i just don't remember.
@@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193 I get that.
You got her done. Oh yeah to do is get somebody in the back via go putting the brakes on no big deal out of dun it 40 years ago.💪🏾🤷🏽♂️👍🏽😳😱🙋🏽♂️😊.
You made news I seen it before I seen ur video I was like I know him
News?
@@offroadrecoveryteam a local Utah station had a story on it
Cool, I might have to search for that.
God help you if your brakes failed.
This is a super cool video. I seen Rory and other RUclipsrs do some of the tricky spots out through there, but I'm glad you took the time to show the scenery in some of the spots that most RUclipsrs don't show.
You did well getting in and out of there and YOU made a good call !
Smart move making a trail repair instead of a tow out of that place!
If Rory says it spooks him towing down that hill, you already know it will be a place mear mortals don’t want to go. Definitely fix on the trail if at all possible.
Yeah No Joke..... some of those twist & turns i dont know if i could do that without a tight Clench.....
Lmao
The view from the inside the wrecker was awesome. Love that old school V8 sound too 👍
Awesome video. You definitely called the right man for the job. Rory knows his stuff about trail repair and crawlers. He's the go to man on those trails.
Great collaboration Eric! Rory is the guy.
The camera does not do that hill justice. It does not look that bad. But if you and Rory are saying it's nuts, then it is nuts. Great video - keep them coning.
I saw him do that. Now your weight could be an advantage of not?
Be nice if Trailmater went to your neck of the woods and see how it make out it the mud and slosh
Excellent choice and video Eric. Thanks for not having music cover up the sounds of the truck. Almost feel like you are riding along. Man that eagle sure stayed still a long time, lol.
Funny how the camera does not show how steep these hills are.
That in-cab footage is so odd to watch! It feels like you've missed the line but then the front pops up and I realize that it's just the wide angle that makes it look different than it really is
Eric now you need to invite trail mater to come to your neck of the woods
Looks fun. Wrecker can go anywhere.
Well your recker is probably a bit heavier than trail mater....maybe you was able to get it out....🤔🤔🤔💪💪💪but never the less job well done...👌👌👌👌🤙
Soooo… I’m gonna go get my eyes checked, kept thinking the rock chip was a bird and was wondering how he stayed in such a consistent spot😂😂
You are just simply" The Man" brother. Glad to see somebody enjoy what they are meant to b doing in this life.
GOOD video, nice editing, thanks
That chip in the windshield looks like a eagle that is dropping a fish
you built a hell of a wrecker.
Heavy truck can hurt you or can help you
Great video,Did she get any driving in on the trails??
I think your wrecker is very capable..It is just I would be on level 100 anxiety doing that.. I would be a big chicken..
What!?!?! No Escalator for the wrecker? 😢
Answering The Call is more important, but it's still a bummer.
That years of experience pays off again no need to put any unnecessary stress on the wrecker and your ticker towing out a trip like that ,like Kenny said you gotta know when to hold em and know when to fold em . Rory just needs to get a sikorsky sky crane and just fly the rig out they can handle up to 20,000 lbs just wouldn't want the fuel bill lol
Seat cover sounds stressed. I think I would be too. That trail looks scary. Your a great driver Mr.Eric.
That chip in your windshield looks like an Eagle when it has the rocks as a background.
Hoo Wee I heard a stressed exhale and you can feel the silence in the cab. I’m sure that is intense as all can be. It’s beautiful but I’d probably be nervous seem whiled. Like still sand dunes you have to go slow. Great driving man you guys have some impressive skills, Godbless.

Love the little crack, or dirt, in the windshield, looks like you brought along a bald eagle to lead you out. "follow that eagle"
Looking at the trail, it appears completely rubbered in, so the levels of grip must be sky high.
Must be some consolation especially when relying on engine braking down those steep inclines?
Absolutely amazing thanks for sharing!
Good call on not trying to towing the jeep out and getting Rory to come weld better be safe then sorry
The wrecker sure is a cool looking truck you know it could probably use the diet and get around better in the mud and on these trails you go out to visit
Morning, Eric and y'all and you did a Awesome job and I guess it is fun following Rory
I would like to see more videos of people getting pulled out of the woods. Haven't seen any in a long time.
The spring wheeling season is almost here in Wisconsin, I am sure we will have some of those videos soon.
What do they call it!? Goat trail! Maybe mountain goat! : O
It just amazes me where you take that wrecker
i bet you can see the trails from space that would look cool
Cool
Man, that was a sketchy hill
Absolutely loving the content more. I've always watched for yrs actually but it just keeps getting better.. thanks Eric and seatcover..
Got to get a welder on board air cutting torch for the wrecker.
I think I held by breath the entire time for you! LOL Great video! ✌🐢
I would love to see a video of the first vehicle to drive this trail 😜
Awesome nothing like good team work!
that trail is not for me! keep the clips coming
Your becoming quite a desert dog
Wow wild and hairy all at once😁😁👍👍
They were the jokes of wrestling
Time to install a welder on big red.
👍
👍
Yay! More EJS. 👍
Sitting here in my chair at the PC in Melbourne Australia the view from the front windscreen on the way back is fabulous and I would be too busy looking out the windows at the scenery instead of driving.. haha..
Heading to Nebraska Monday morning. Need a ride?
Thanks for the offer, the Top Kick is home, still broke but home.
Much better to have problems in one location.....lol
Awesome vid. I could almost feel the tension in the cab going back down that steep grade. Thanks for taking us along.
Started watching/ subscribed back when you first got that 1 ton when the other one broke the frame, you painted it up looked really nice now it looks like you been running it 25 years!
3:36 Seeing that old Jeep coming past really gives a good indication of just how big the wrecker is. She's a beast. :-)
That was a great video coming out, no unnecessary talking, no music, just the beautiful scenery and the sounds of the wrecker. Thanks!
Where is your sence of adventure you got this with or without a buggy on the back of the truck
I believe the name of that hill is "The Dragons tail"
A two way trail with one lane, how do you manage it?❤
On this rocks.. place a camera at the back axel. I would like to see the spring/axel movement
Now that was some scary ass hills! Glad the wrecker survived.
Boring !!
There is absolutely NOTHING boring about taking a 1 ton wrecker anywhere offroad, especially i. MOAB!
Don't like Don't watch
If say race you must race if you say sail you must sail if you say recovery you must do that.Thats why Matts recovery and Fab Rats is killing them selfs.Fab Rats must stick to fabrication .
Awesome cool 🆒️ 😎 👍
