Ol Blue Rescues A Couple Grand Cherokees

  • We got a call later in the day for a Jeep stuck on Elephant Hill. The Park had contacted another tow company in town and their off-road wrecker was down so they called us. Mike and I jumped in OK Blue and drive from Moab to Canyonlands. We picked the customer up at the visitors center and then drove over Elephant Hill to the Jeep. He was backing up the switchback and had dropped a tire off the edge of the retaining wall. He had a winch but not enough line to get to anything substantial and he was very uncomfortable with the situation so he called for help. We got there and after checking the situation we decided on a pull forward. It came out fairly easy. The next day Shawn and I went out on Fins And Things to get another Grand Cherokee that had broken its front driveshaft. So we got to the vehicle and pulled the front shaft out then drove it back to town. We had to pull it up one hill to get it out. Then down to the mechanic shop for repairs. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    That was WAY too easy. No cables snapping, people hollering WHOA, WHOA and boulders plummeting down the cliff! Better for the customer and the safety of all concerned. Best outcome possible. Also, a good example of why Rory does all those "stunts" driving an obstacle backwards for fun. When he needs the skill, he has it. Best off road channel on youtube.

    It's easy to see that Mike has the utmost confidence in you and your rig by where he was standing when you were backing up that hill!

    I love all the off-road channels equally; they all bring something to my daily enjoyment of RUclips. But I can't for the life of me figure out how Rory and the gang have only 221k subscribers????

    I suspect there’s not to many people who would even take that truck where you went, mad skills. Another fine recovery

    Great to see ole Blue on the trail again doing recoveries. With your vast assortment of recovery vehicles you can do about any job. You usually have a vehicle for every job depending on where it's at and whether it's a trail fix or a recovery. You guys can do it all. Thanks for another video. I really enjoy watching them

    I just love how Rory takes a basically stock 4wd tow truck on trails we’re most people are driving highly modified, purpose built, off-road vehicles. He always makes it look easy so now I guess he’s doing it in reverse just to increase the difficulty. Show off!

  • @jlyonsden3677
    @jlyonsden3677 8 месяцев назад +13

    You can tell when a man has mad skills when you can back a vehicle as good as you can drive forward. A little bit of a head on a swivel. Man and machine are as one. Once again great camera work and recovery.

    I have no idea why this channel doesn't have a million subs or more. Compared to all the other off road recovery channels Rory and his crew are the most skilled and exciting to watch. Not to mention he really doesn't press his merch or have a billion adds in one 20 minute video. Like share and subscribe folks.

    I had the same issue with my sockets and rachet set… I sprayed everything with light oil, put expendable foam over one side and closed the lid. The foam cured and filled the gaps around the sockets. Trimmed the excess foam that seeped out, and voilà! No more loose sockets and no more rattling on the trail.

    When I first "met" Rory it was watching the Off Road Wrecker Games. When he ran Trail Mater backwards up The Chute, I originally thought - wow, what a show off. As I've been following the channel ever since, I've quickly come to realize those type of driving skills came from experience and necessity while performing amazing off road recoveries. Elephant Hill looked crazy on video, so you know running it backwards in real life must have been insane! The skills, knowledge, experience, honesty, genuineness, and humor on this channel is beyond refreshing. Love watching what you guys do! Keep up the great work!

  • @Larry5469

    Clean rescue.
    For the longest time I used the OEM tool chest as my go-to. I got rid of the foam pad and used thick cardboard "cut to match" as the holder which stopped reorganizing the sockets.

    Rory I know the west coast mirrors look cool but after working at a GMC dealers body shop in the 70's I know the carnage to the door when they hit something. I like the videos you guys do as it shows how much you love the trails and are generous with scenery for us. I live on Cape Cod a great place but for such different reasons

When you cut the back of ole blue and cut the bed on your dodge, I was having mini heart attacks!!! 😅😅the one thing that I have learned from those videos is, if it's yours and it don't work, just fix it so that it will. Nobody is going to be happy about 100% of what you do, but ya know what? It's mine, I can fix it however I see fit and if someone don't like it then they can try and buy it from me and fix it however they want.
