Big Block Rock Crawling Tow Truck - BadAss Builds - TrailMater
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2021
- In this episode of BadAss Builds we take a look at the brainchild of Rory Irish, owner of Moab Motorsports. TrailMater started life as a 1982 K30 1Ton Truck that he chopped up to make a rock crawler and then decided he would make it a tow truck to perform recoveries in some of the toughest off-road trails in America located in Moab Utah. This Off-Road Recovery truck comes complete with 6 winches, onboard welder, fully locked front and rear axle and custom built recovery trailer for really sticky situations. Look up #trailmater on instagram for some awesome recovery pics.

Rory is the real deal. His crew is highly talented and experienced. What they do is amazing, and they are a huge asset to every off roader out there. This video was awesome.
Rory, the Chuck Norris of off road recovery!
Rory's truck is killer but he's an even better person, works harder than anyone I know.
Good people for sure.
That would be a major yes. found Rory from other channels. he hang out with Fab Rats and Matt’s Recovery. a fine group of guys. :-)
I've done alot of off road recovery while in the military using some big shit, this dude definitely knows what he's doing. Watch his youtube videos he's great.
Rory if they ever make a another Mad Max movie this truck has to be in it and you driving it with Max by your side
Thank you so much for this excellent video. Rory and Trailmater rock!!!! 🇨🇦
All is answered in the first sentence; Trail Mater was originally built as a rock crawler, then it morphed into a tow-truck! But, anyway, it's the phenomenal, almost other-worldly skills that Rory and his crew bring to the table that makes this the premier recovery vehicle on RUclips!
We typically head to Moab every year. I've come to know Joe at Twisted since I rent out there. I had asked Joe about him. He said, "Yeah, stop down there and see him. He's really nice." I stopped in there this past June and chatted with Rory and some of his guys. He's super nice and was very accommodating to a fan of his channel. We talked for probably 20 minutes. Oh, and something you can't really notice from videos, he's gotta be 6'5" or 6'6". He fills a doorway when he walks thru it. lol. But, more like the Gentle Giant. If you make it to Moab, stop in and see him.
#trailmater
Never seen Rory so animated, he's all business and so is his truck..
More and more people are hearing about Trail Mater. Driving it or fixing it, Rory has the skills. If you haven't seen him in action, there are a ton of videos that are worth watching, and he doesn't just show up on his own channel.
Rory and his team are a class act.
The most i have heard Rory talk. greatest guy out there! Always a blast to see that truck!
Really like this. Watched him do many recoveries, but this is great background and explaining…
Heavy-D said to give you a thumbs up.
I love this truck. Saw it on Matt’s before. Big block and stick and dually 💪🏻
If you liked this video, take a look at trail mater here on RUclips. Rory Irish and his team are the guys you want to show up, if you are out on the trail, broken down.
One of the most humble people I've met, that does what he does because he likes it. Doesn't price gouge and often charges too little. All in a world, that's built around the JEEP (Just Empty Every Pocket), and a costly sport of rock crawling and trail fun.
He's real... and he's GOOD people.
I support Moab Motorsports often, whether it's a $5 shift linkage bushing, a $100 track bar weld, a $50 pitman arm... oh, the list goes on.
There are others, but none like Rory Irish. I hope he continues to be the GO TO in Moab for everyone's off-road needs.
Awesome words!!
yeah i do it cuz i love seeing the carnage..
as long as no1 got hurt
@@SirWilliamGoes too bad they aren't true, humble my ass!
Very impressive. Rory is a real deal mcgiver.
Video well done . Thank you for sharing. 🇺🇸
Watch his show every time it comes up: Love seeing the entire crew and family on TrailMater. Rory is a really nice person.
I love his dedication to his work ethic, Blessed from above...........
Blessings to all.. Jesus is LORD...
The Merlin of the Trails!
Not only is this a purpose built truck but this young man sure can drive into places I wouldn't even take a trials bike.
Rory is the best driver out there, no one controls momentum like rory. And trail mater is simply badass. A shorty dually is as good as it gets. Rory can roll the toughest trails smoother than nearly any rig while towing a broke ass $100,000 jeep. Im a fj80 guy but anything that can roll rocks is good with me.
Respekt to the king Rory
Love this rig. Looks like something out of Mad Max.
thanks for posting this, engine info was most of what i was after, guy's amazingly talented
Rory, you got the perfect build!
What an over the top cool career and life. I am envious.
That trailer has been up Cliffhanger???? WHOA.
Absolute beast and definitely my favorite truck I’ve seen!
So happy I found this video. Been wanting a breakdown of this truck since I saw it
Its interesting to hear he swapped the 14 bolt for a dana 80. Ive seen guys that have sled pulling trucks, swap out a dana 80 because it kept braking and put a 14 bolt in.
Man you are the wrecker Superman. Lol.
Rory your a stud, I love your rig we go to Utah a lot if I ever brake down Iam calling you no disrespect Matt but Rory us the best 😊
You need to head over to Hurricane Utah and feature the Morrvair. THAT is another "badass build".
Just talked to matt this morning at koh. Its in the works 😉
great video, I've been watching his recovery videos for a few months. nice to see a more in depth video on his truck...
Sparkeeeee ( Rory) that's a Well Built Truck But as we all know U ARE A FINE WHEELMAN !!
Sir William is really good at repeating exactly what Rory just told him. WTF?
Trail Mater is awesome
Agree
TRAIL MATER SHOULD HAVE A BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE MADE. OH MY IT WOULD BE GREAT. IF I WAS A PRODUCER I WOULD TRY. I KNOW IT WOULD DRAW A SUPER LARGE CROUD.
GO ROREY, U THE BEST.
Some day I will see you there Roy.
He's like the ship salvage guy of Terra firma.
Mater is Mater.
Trail Mater is an oxymoron of itself. Its design is ultra-minimalist to save weight, while its kit is the exact opposite and covers everything needed for multiple scenarios.
I drove a winch truck in the oilfield too
I found this truck from the Whistling diesel channel 🔥
Bent the frame on my 77 Chevy, pulling a loaded stuck propane truck too
I love this rig
Awesome truck so cool
One badass truck
Very good video with a lot of great information.
Great video
If a rig ever needed rockwells it's mater!
Way way cool .I want to build something similar.
Awesome Man thanks for showing us
Flat top king
Was really hoping you were going to talk about the transmission and transfer
How you can take it out of rear drive and keep the front engaged anything special about that part of it
Bloody awesome truck
Gday from Australia 🇦🇺👍💯🦘🦘🦘🦘
Split shift on the transfer case.
cool truggy
you haven't dented it.. now wonder it flipped later on.. you jinxed yourself lol
@ 15:30 the double standards with insurance companies...
The one we have here is if you have winter tires you get a discount, but they don't care if you use them in the summer even though you have reduced handling etc... Not as safe as non winter tires.
And... You can literally buy a car and insure it with no inspection. And they will give you 3rd part liability. (If the vehicle is over 10 years old).
If you want full comprehensive coverage you need to get an inspection done at a certified mechanic.
If the vehicle doesn't pass they inspection you need to correct all deficiencies before 30 days or the cancel your insurance on the vehicle and won't insure it in the future 🙄
What a gong show.
What wheels are those?
👍
Has anyone ever paid attention to the welds on this thing..
So much of the industry of off-road is mass produced nowadays its awesome to see stuff built and not bought
Rory taught me more about welding in one afternoon than I learned in 45+ years I'm definitely not worried about any weld on trail-mater or the trailer
After seeing several of your videos, I wonder why you dont use a sling like older wreckers use just as a last back stop from a disabled vehicle from sliding into you. I see distance between vehicles is an advantage for hills, but a last catch seems like it would eliminate one less worry. I used a sling on hundreds of cars back in day, but those were on pavement and gravel.
I used to think the same thing, but he's not the only one. I'm sure there is a reason, and from all the vids I have watched, it seems there is no need even though it doesn't make sense.
Going up hills almost straight up with a sling would be a horrible idea. It would make it way to heavy and flip his rig backwards.
What are those Bluetooth headphones you're running?
Not sure
Subtitulos por favor en español!!! I 0 I
You need a camera man ?
I'm single can travel.
Roy you said in one video ,you are a highschool drop out ! Well you have done great for yourself ! I have always said collage is not for everybody !! If you have common sence and creativity ,you can build all kinds of usefull stuff ; as long as you got a place to work and the tools to work with ! Thats what I do design and build things for myself !! I have ideas for add ons for the rig to make it better ! reply to me if you want some new ideas for that rig !!
His truck has less wrinkles than his shirt. Did he keep that wadded up in the ammo box under the hood, saved just for this interview?
Haha. Actually it was in the back of my truck, the other one had stains from the shop. I thought it was a better option till I seen this video, but oh well.
@@trailmater No reason to pretty up for an interview when life is real. Love the truck and your approach to getting stuff done. Keep up the awesome gig!
@@trailmater legend
Jesus get a cover for that microphone
Donation links are in the description. Which one you recommend?
@@SirWilliamGoes.. rabbit foot muff
Why is he repeating everything he says....
Great take on Rory and trail mater!
P.S. He is a great dad to lily.👍🏼
I gave up watching because of the wind noise. Rookie mistake.
he welded up my exhaust for me..... I am NOT a fan!
Dang hate to hear that.
Why? ... I know it wasn't too expensive. Did he do the actual welding? Was it on trail (or in the shop)?
More details please.
@@JohnnyJ50f I had a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the exhaust broke off where it comes out of the rear of the muffler. I drove it to him and he welded get back together at a cost of $273. I reluctantly paid and drove away only to find the exhaust was laying against the polyurethane gas tank. I returned to him with my problem and he gave me considerable grief before repairing it to my liking. I drove away and it still was not far enough away from the gas tank and melted a hole in the polyurethane tank on the 1500 mile ride home...
@@OverlandGeneration
Interesting story.
For your exhaust to "break off" at the rear of the muffler, it had to be in poor shape... right?
None the less, sorry to hear about such an issue as Rory is top notch.
Hence why I asked... if HE welded it or HE did the actual work. You didn't answer that.
And, if he was the shop you went to, or if it was prior to Rory owning Moab Motorsports (He's only owned it for +/- 4yrs).
Lastly, isn't there a thin metal guard/heat shield between exhaust and fuel tank on the Cherokee? There was on mine ('95 ZJ)
@@OverlandGeneration I think there is a whole bunch you are leaving out of the story or the story is even all or mostly made up. You didn't say when this was done but I know of no world where it would cost $273 to weld exhaust back together. My guess is that a new muffler and some pipe was installed. And like Johnny said there is normally a heat shield on the tank and even if there weren't I cannot imagine the exhaust melting it unless it were touching it and maybe not even then depending on where it was in the system. 20+ years ASE certified auto tech
What size are the tires?
35s i believe
@@SirWilliamGoes thank you
