I continue to say it's so AMAZING to see how easily and calmly you motor over all these really difficult obstacles that others demolish their rides trying to pass; repair, replace, or weld their broken equipment; and drive or drag them out seemingly easily. You have tremendous skills and knowledge; and it is really fun watching!
it takes intelligence to understand that there are better alternatives to the knuckle-dragging simple-minded brute force option: play it smart, still have fun, break no hardware and neither the bank ... Sir Rory is a master, but many people don't get it! 🖖🖖🖖
I started to watch this video again by accident and realised I had watched it before, but I still watched right through. This I don't do with anyone else's videos. There are some very pretty and, hopefully, capable new machines out there, but Trail Mater is not really pretty, she is beautiful. I also realised that Rory and Trail Mater literally become one entity, which is why you are so damned great at what you do. Still my number one go to channel every time I fire up RUclips. Keep up the great work Gents.
"Luckily Jeep engineered this knuckle to snap... This is all sarcasm, and I hate Jeep for switching to aluminum knuckles for absolutely no reason other than to complicate things to make things cheaper and cheaper." EPIC STATEMENT! Agree 100%
Right or wrong, the switch to making it out of aluminum was likely less about making it cheaper and likely more about making it lighter. Unsprung weight is the enemy of suspension systems on road.
@@darrenmcdonald3319 so I'm guessing that you wouldn't be a fan of having 1-TONs with RCVs, and double sheer hydro steering, rolling on 40's? Jeep switched to aluminum knuckles for MPGs and they picked a stupid place to do it. The savings were trivial at the cost of strength. A u-joint failure should not grenade an entire knuckle assembly. I've seen hundreds of blown axle u-joints and destroyed axle shafts in my life, but nothing like the carnage we see with aluminum knuckles as part of the equation.
My hat's off to Shawn for having the guts to ride those trails in a towed vehicle. At least he knows he's in good hands with Rory pulling him. Loved Mike's Diamond-Billed Rockpecker story. 😄
My grandfather would tell me story's about when he was a professional diamond bill hunter. They never thought there would be an end there was just so many. Then one day, 💥 nothing!🤣
Credit where credit is due: Thank you for the subtitles/closed captions. Being hearing-impaired makes one feel like an "outsider" on a daily basis. With the captions, I feel like I am "one of the guys" along for the ride, right in the center of the action. Thanks again, brother . . . MUCH APPRECIATED!
Thanks Rory. I really like the introductions of the guys or gals you have with you. That is one thing I always liked about Fab Rats and MORR, it seems more like family and friends that are including us too. Great videos.
The camera was in an excellent position throughout the video-it showed your expertise at navigating the terrain, and wow-you’ve chosen your help well! 👏🏻👏🏻
“Diamond billed rock pecker”. Awesome. 😂😂. Nice Mike. Great bunch of guys unbelievably skilled and quick thinking and now comedy. Hard to believe but your videos keep getting better Rory. We don’t have that kinda terrain here in Manitoba Canada. Really do look forward to each video as I always learn something from them. Keep up the great work and be safe. 🇨🇦 fan
Have to admit, I always like watching the "bush" mechanic stuff... BUT the towed recoveries are epic. When Rory plugs his forever white tennis shoe into Trail mater, the two become one. Pretty much the last obstacle, sans winch cable, showed Rory and "mater" just on the edge of lifting the front, but not doing it. Probably "blowing up your skirt", but that is a damn master example of man and machine. The crew kicked ass too.
Rory I give you guys credit you have to be fearless doing that job right along the edge of the cliff like it is no big deal. I always know with your videos they will definitely be top quality and a lot of fun with you guys working together. I love the commentary during the video. Your comment of so birds don't build a home made my night. That shows your personality which is a lot of fun. I respect that about you. I hope we will be seeing Donkey more if possible that is an amazing machine. Keep up the great work
Whether they're coming down the edge of that cliff trail or up over the rocks the size of an old VW, Shawn is either the coolest cucumber in the basket or absolutely petrified!! What a team!!
i’m a mountain biker and i always see the jeeps struggling to get those features of cliffhanger…. to see you do it without a spotter and while towing is just impossible!!! 😂 love your channel man, hope to see you out on the trail sometime
Rory's skills are legendary, and unquestioned, and the mighty TrailM8tr is world-class, but what I love is Rory's graciousness and humility. No trash-talking his companions and co-workers, like so many awful US TV shows, just getting the job done and treating the people around his as equals, and giving them credit where it's due. Working with you would be a pleasure, sir! Hey, Rory, just a technical question, how would an electric-engined car go as a rock-crawler?
In regards to the electric-engine. Litebrite showed one on an east coast trail. It struggled because it had instant torque. There didn't appear to be a slow crawl mode. It looked like it could be crazy dangerous.
That second recovery looked to be really challenging & was great to watch. You & your team really work well together, but I often wonder where Shawn gets his nerves of steel riding in the disabled ones?
Diamond billed rock peckers that live in the holes around here… 😂 Genius improv following up on the question why you stuffed a rag in where the half shaft was. Sometimes you’ve gotta think… why did I ask that question! 😂 Great video and fantastic work by the team, thanks Rory.
It shows that sometimes when towing another vehicle off these tracks you change the location of some of these large rocks just by pushing them slightly with either your wrecker or the towed vehicle which in turn makes it easier for following vehicles on the trail afterwards. I love your driving style when you have a vehicle in tow, it shows your knowledge of the tracks and consideration for the condition of the towed vehicle not to be damaged any more than it already is. The other main comment I would like to say is if more people took note of your driving skills there would be fewer damages and recoveries.. you do most of these tows in idle or just a little bit of revs to help get up and over the obstacle, not foot flat to the boards like most other (Idiots)....
Wow it's amazing how these parts snap and break great video,always like the way Trailmater just motors along ,no 10 thousand rpm engine racing and tire spinning
the skill level it takes to drive that wrecker and tow something without slamming it against everything is amazing. You are one hell of a driver Rory! Keep on showing us this amazing landscape and impressive driving. I appreciate the extra effort you guys put in to show us everything!
That was a real treat Rory, well done on a difficult bit of terrain, loved the longer video, more to get my teeth into, but I could watch your skills all day long. Sean is a star with testicles of stainless steel 👍👍👍👍
Hahaha! First "grease" (the plural of grouse), then there was an oreo milkshake cow. Now I have learned that there are diamond billed rock peckers in Utah 🤣🤣🤣🤣! Your channel is soooo educational!
You have come a long way in your camera work and you are actually talking to your audience! I hope you go back and watch the old stuff sometimes to see how far you've come!
It is always jaw dropping to watch you get them out Rory but this one was real tough. You always do an amazing job, and this time was no different. It was good to see the gang with you, it’s obvious you all work well together. Stay safe and above all else, stay awesome. Thank you.
I wonder what Rory thinks about Matt's large wrecker project? It is pretty cool so far, with the big engine and rear-steer. (And trailers without suspension? It's a different world now.) I thought he should use air-bags instead of coil, but you guys know much much more than I do. I think Ronny Layton is also building a wrecker, or maybe it is Paul from Fab Rats. Maybe there will be a wrecker competition sometime down the road. Rory's wrecker is a pretty well trail tested machine, and built for the job. Probably broken/fixed, improved, and then broken/fixed again time after time.
@24:25 , I wouldn't want to do that in just one vehicle , yet you Climb up towing a relatively new jeep avoiding further damage ! I'm Impressed ! Nice Job ! Sure Sign of a Professional at Work
"Diamond billed rock peckers"🤣 That is pure gold!!! I've watched a bunch of these rock crawling videos lately and I am totally amazed at the terrain you guys can take a motorized vehicle on. Mind boggling!! Shaun.. GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO!!!
You are one heck of a rock crawler, I watch you climb rocks forward and then backwards, These recoveries looked very difficult and I was holding my breath on some of those rocks but you and your crew did another successful rescue.
I'm always amazed at Rory's gift of figuring things out and creating engineering solutions out of random pieces of metal, parts, and junk in his truck ... his gift is special for sure
A good repair, then a great recovery. Who else would be driving over boulders along a cliff edge with one hand while eating a sandwich??? Thanks Rory and guys.
Rory's wheelin' CliffHanger with a burrito in one hand, I love it! Nice to meet the whole crew. Wow Rory's got that geometry all figured out on those trails. That recovery turned into a real team effort. I'm lovin' the videography, great shooting! Does the scenery and the action justice. That Shawn is a real "hoot"!

I could not agree more, I am in total awe just watching the videos of insane machines scrambling around incredible obstacles. Thank you all.
I'd love to see him wear a pulse rate monitor - I reckon his heart would barely get off idle..... Amazing skills. Very impressive stuff.

Diamond Bill Rock Pecker. Definitely a protected species here in Southern Utah. They prefer the soft rocks in our sandstone canyons.
That's what she said.

Yeah. I googled it 😂

We were just talking about the holes in the sandstone the other day and now I know the rest of the story.

Matt's Off Road Wrecker Challenge should be something like this. Well done.
Rory's highly skilled multi -tasking = driving ONE HANDED over STEEP terrain , large rocks AND eating lunch ALL AT THE SAME TIME = recovery master !
He's absolutely amazing! Really knows his stuff!
My hat's off to Shawn for having the guts to ride those trails in a towed vehicle. At least he knows he's in good hands with Rory pulling him. Loved Mike's Diamond-Billed Rockpecker story. 😄
I love that there is a burrito in the left hand while crawling up some stuff that most people wouldn't even think of driving up.
What a great group of guys you got there Rory you are hands-down the recovery expert I hit thumbs up every time before I even watch the video.
Maybe you got here from the GOAT: Matt’s Off-Road Recovery.
@Tony Casto
Same here...😁👍👍
Me personally, here 1st, Matt 2nd, FabRats (Paul) 3rd. Oh well, I think I got all of my choice folks.
same here I always smash like button before I get into video so I don't forget
@@AZBEEMR i'll admit i did. I kept seeing that wrecker and had to see the madman who ran it...
"THE DIAMOND BILL ROCK PECKERS "....
PRICELESS...!!!!
I had to rewind a couple of times to make sure I heard that right....👍👍👍👍👍
Steering wheel in one hand and burrito 🌯 in the other! 😂 Great video as always!
Or was it a Hot Pocket?
It was food either way
@dady dad a Hot Pocket may require rest room facilities sooner than a burrito.
And at a greater urgency level,,,,
Just another day at the office for Roy and Towmater.
My grandfather would tell me story's about when he was a professional diamond bill hunter. They never thought there would be an end there was just so many. Then one day, 💥 nothing!🤣
Tales from the past say there is a lost box canyon where the diamond bills went to die
Rory, in our house we think the world of you, Shaun has the cool factor everyone needs, we all need a Shaun lol
One of the most under-rated channels on RUclips. Rory's personality, driving skills and mechanical skills are the best.
King of off road recovery. Hands down. Living in Moab helps a bit. Hats off.
Rory you make that look so easy. The Capability of Mater and Rory as a driver is unmatched. Love the content. Keep it coming.
Got to respect how Rory just casually drives up one handed eating his meal where you watch other videos and it's all drama love your work 👍
Rory is one of the best, if not the best drivers I have ever seen
Rory, you are THE MAN !!!
Great stuff, Rory! Love the Saturday PM upload...forget the algorithm!

Trailmater a garage on wheels. I swear you can make another rig with all you have on trailmater.

This was one of the most amazing haul outs I’ve seen you do!!!! You’re pretty gosh darn amazing Sir!!!!!!!!
I love that Rory’s idea of a side step is a iron stirrup for an iron horse!😁
Not your average tow truck and CERTAINLY not your average crew. Great job guys!
i’m a mountain biker and i always see the jeeps struggling to get those features of cliffhanger…. to see you do it without a spotter and while towing is just impossible!!! 😂 love your channel man, hope to see you out on the trail sometime
…. a great showing of your knowledge/skill of these difficult trails!
The amount of skill that Rory has driving Mater is insane! Great job!

Great control of the breakfast burrito in the driver hand while using the passenger side hand to control your rig 😂😂😂😂
That did imply confidence, even boredom.
Amazing scenery!
That QuicCrete did the trick for the trail repair!
Rory knows these trails like the back of his hand.
You are the man, and that wrecker-- impressive doesn't do it justice..
Unbelievable Recoveries
This channel, Trail Mater, has to be the best off road wheeling videos of all time, bar none!!!!!
Amazing view
Love the off road repairs and a great display of technical driving as usual
That second recovery looked to be really challenging & was great to watch. You & your team really work well together, but I often wonder where Shawn gets his nerves of steel riding in the disabled ones?

of coarse another amazing video
Shaun must be immune to motion sickness. He just swings and sways back there. The Diamond Bill Rock Pecker story was great!
Wow it's amazing how these parts snap and break great video,always like the way Trailmater just motors along ,no 10 thousand rpm engine racing and tire spinning
loose sand and solid rock will eat just about anything
That is some serious skill you got there Rory. Nice job.
You gotta love Rory... eating a burrito and riding the trail lol
Awesome!
Lol. You guys are funny. You guys amaze me at the stuff you can do.
Rory for President
Rescue Rory the “ Mayor of Moab” did it again. Boy you know you know Mater and the terrain. Skillz Brother, Skillz…
The channel's growing every day Rory, with videos like this it is easy to see why. You guys are the best! Stay safe out there and God Bless.
That’s a good touch you have at keeping it slow and easy while working your way over obstacles.
I shake my head all the time when I watch you and your crew retrieve rigs in areas that seem totally inaccessible.
the skill level it takes to drive that wrecker and tow something without slamming it against everything is amazing. You are one hell of a driver Rory! Keep on showing us this amazing landscape and impressive driving. I appreciate the extra effort you guys put in to show us everything!

Doesn't get much technical than that, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time wow
Riding in the towed vehicle looks pretty wild good job it amazes me how capable trail mater is 👍definitely the right rig for the job
Rory’s field repair skills are over the top!!!
Hahaha! First "grease" (the plural of grouse), then there was an oreo milkshake cow. Now I have learned that there are diamond billed rock peckers in Utah 🤣🤣🤣🤣! Your channel is soooo educational!
I hope engineers at Chrysler heard your complains on the weak parts!!! Love your video!!!
