Tahoe On Moab Rim
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 01. 2024
- We got a call about a vehicle near the entrance of Moab rim Trail. The service was really bad so we had limited information. They said the transfer case was broken. So Mike and I jumped in Ol Blue and headed out. We though it might be a shifter bushing for a Jeep JK, since that is a very common failure. Once we got to the Trailhead we could see the vehicle and realized it was a Chevy Tahoe. We got to the vehicle and looked it over, is appeared it might have a broken front shaft and definitely something wrong in the rear end. So we decided to just pull it down to the parking lot. Then to add to it it had a bad brake line... So after pulling it a little ways the rear shafts started walking out. So we got it to move a little, and get Blue in behind it. We picked it up from the rear bumper and backed down to the parking lot. Then we carried it back to the shop so they could bring their trailer to haul it home for repairs/upgrades. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Many a time I have heard” don’t hit my truck “ only Rory says hit my truck if you have to stop. Way to put the welfare of the client first. True professionalism.
Rory also doesn't want to be pulled down a cliffside while attached to the vehicle that drove off it to avoid scratching up some paint.
^^^this guy gets it. Lol
@@trailmater😂😂😂
Rory also built the back of the truck out of plate steel anticipating that would happen.
Actuator
It's amazing how as we get older how much nicer things like windows and heaters are lol.
Is that why we haven't seen Trailmater in a while?
Edit: after seeing the end of the video, that is exactly the case.
Same reason I gave up motorcycles...😢
Thank you Rory! So that was my son and his friend you rescued. Blazer is curently in the shop geting a little upgrade on the rear end. We are putting a 9.5 inch 14 bolt in it. With 410 gears. Instead of the stock 342s. We have had the rear axle and front gears for a while. This is a perfect opportunity to get that upgrade done! Lol. Thanks again. We are huge fans and watch your video's religiously along with Matts offroad and the fab rats. Hopefully we can make it out there soon with my blazer and his.
Of all the YT off road channels you are CLEARLY the best driver, best mechanic, and best tow guy. Huge respect for your pragmatic problem solving ability and intuitive sense of what vehicles are doin.
We can't argue that ! Well we could & be wrong. When your the shit ! Your the shit !
@offroadrecoveryFL is pretty good too.
I would like to add one thing. The way they treat customers. Everyone is treated with respect.
@@RealJeepI’m from the south. Off road recovery in Florida is pretty 1 dimensional. It’s pretty much always a matter of mud and how much line you have. The technicality of what Rory does is different. Stabilizing and maneuvering vehicles, with a wide range of damage, in variable high angle situations is difficult/high liability/dangerous. Simple stuff like the traction difference between sand and slick rock become big problems, when you don’t read them properly. Rigging is something that normal people can never fully comprehend. It’s a very difficult skill set to put on a resume. Rory is on a different planet, I promise.
@@DeepSouthBuilder Rory is very good at what he does, without a doubt. However, you have to give Matt in Florida a lot of credit for being able to winch out skid steers, dump trucks and everything else frame deep in sticky swamp mud, WITH A JEEP!
All the time Rory showing us backing up and down trails with Trailmater, now he's doing it while towing with Old Blue, way to go!
I really respect how much care Rory and crew take of the trails even during recoveries, when noone would blink if the job forced them off trail more often.
Not only is Rory a professional, he also has a good sense of self preservation
These recoveries are like a book. You see the cover, start reading and then it goes all sorts of ways. Came in for a shifter boot doo hickey and next thing you know wheels are falling off. Rory and team improvise and adapt on the spot.
Interesting recovery. It is nice when the customer listens & follows directions. Stay warm guys. Thanks for sharing
Rory's gotta love those new roll-up windows! 🤣
I want to commend you on telling him to actually hit your truck that we all know you REALLY like instead of going off trail and possibly getting hurt. Truly shows how good of a person you are.
The way the chevy, even with a busted rear axel was able to pull ol blue out using only front wheel drive was great. Rory and his team and trucks are the best. "If you lose brakes hit me" more concern for his client than his fresh "new" rig.
That's what I was thinking.
Not wanting to follow said client down the cliff because you are tied to him might also have something to do with it.
The Chevy did not pull Rory out!!!!
Rory backed out pushing the Chevy with Old Blue!!!! That Blazer/Chevy had no drive shaft power. Next thing you will be saying the Chevy pushed Rory all the way back to the shop....DUMB
There's always the one who's fun at parties - and who hoards exclamation marks :-)
@@davidfarmer1666 lol, humor doesn't sit well with you huh?
A shipping container is just an object to be driven up/over, who knew. Great driving again, Rory.
Saturday Afternoon with you guys made a cold day in England all that much better
Cheers all the best.
That old Tahoe took a beating out there hahah.
It’s a blazer
"Hit this, I'll stop you." Damn Rory! You are the best human ever! Other 'alleged' humans of earth take notice!! Rory and his team are the real deal! Hard working, hard playing and just damn good people!
Good to see ole blue stretching its muscles 😊
Rory’s ‘Hit that’ reminded me when I was rear ended by a local when I was driving in Mexico and the guy didn’t speak much English. All he said was ‘Sorry..I no have brakes..you are my brakes’. 😂😂
You have to admire those big block engines.... absolute torque on demand ..... anywhere on the tach.....
Agreed!!! Just dont go too high on the tach.....they like to bend pushrods......but then again, I guess small blocks with stock hydraulic lifters are about the same...but yeah...bulldozer torque and they dont sound like they're full of marbles and loose bolts lol although I guess the tradeoff is that they're gasaholics
Blue is looking so freaking good in these videos. The Forrest green and cream against the iron oxide in the sandstone is just awesome!!
Rory saying hit my truck watching out for the customers well being is awesome. Well done Rory well done 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏼👍🏼
Not sure how a Tahoe Parking Brake is set up, but we usually set the parking brake to keep the rear axles from sliding out while towing. Parking brakes are usually mechanical (not hydraulic) set up on rear brakes only. Love your videos.
Doesn´t setting the parking brake making rolling and by that towing impossible?
@@sthenzel Not if the rear wheels are in the air.
I've seen this work , though I don't quite understand why. I guess it's applicable to drum brakes only? Brake shoes locked against the drum would stop the wheel & drum exiting the chat I suppose.
You guys make me want to move back to the South West! Moab is near paradise!
always great team work always figuring out things on the fly
My favorite channel on you tube! My father was a mechanic for Cat and was a nonsense guy. I guess you remind me of him? Great work!
I think you meant "no nonsense".
Mikey is Mr professionally installed and Robbie is Mr expertly installed.
Rory practicing for off-road games, recovery in reverse. Matt take that lol
Sparks motors and those guys have really nice equipment. They also have 10 guys on a recovery.
Rory is just doing bonus quest points. Recovery? Sure. Lost the diff pin and circle clips? No biggie. We will just do the whole thing in reverse. Or, let the Tahoe drag blue out with FWD alone.
Superb driving, humble and colorful commentary.
We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy.
As usual common sense mixed with a class act! Good job!
I notice that more and more CZcamsrs are touting that they do off-road recoveries. But for me the best are the OG like Eric of BSF, Matt of MORR, and Rory of Trail Mater. Each possesses the pinnacle of the skillset necessary in their local environment. I watched the Hell and Back series and ONLY Rory finished while still possessing all of his bonus points. It was like he was holding a clinic on crawling crazy trails.
The videos on Trail Mater just keep getting better and better. It is incredible what this team of three can accomplish, the problems they solve all while capturing it on video for our entertainment. Keep up the great work.
You know, I had me a thought. Dangerous thing, so I let it free, but it came back! Everyone is all up on Rory, Mike, and Shawn - and they're correct to be so. Guys are great. But the person or persons doing the video editing has a LOT of input and influence on the final video quality, and they are doing an AMAZING job. I noticed it in the "uh oh" in the intro, and it's always reliably solid good work. Well done!
WT actual F!?! Never seen that play before. Buddy is lucky you guys came to the rescue.
Old Blue looking good.. Wheels, tires, lights, leaf springs. And with new hand built rock sliders..... Plus the paint job is killer!!!!
Ole blue looks great!!!
one of the coolest mentions ever.. DON"T SWERVE , hit my truck instead,, Hit My Truck.
Oh yeah Trail Mater team to the rescue of the Chevy tahoe with broken axles Ole Blue with that amazing heater made Rory's day ...again! Good video!
It’s a blazer
I would like to thank you guys for making good videos. I’ve had a heart procedure and been trapped in the house by my wife for last week and you guys videos. Keep me occupied and entertained. keep up the good work I enjoy watching the videos.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, but glad we can entertain you during your down time.
@@trailmater thank you
@@trailmater
So much lift did you end up with during the repaint?
Amazing and proficiency and concerned about the customer as well as everything around. Rory you keep surprising me with your knowledge and talents.
“Hit my truck!” One of many reasons we call Rory the 🐐
Love me some Moab Rim! The first 1/4 mile of that hill is probably the best that Moab has to offer as far as pucker factor goes.
It's amazing that the older we get, the more we find out that the finer things in life are good . Like heat😊. And we don't have to prove that we are the toughest kids on the block, just the smartest.
always love the humor from Mike
Just about when I'd seen Rory do everything out there, here he comes backing a rig out of the trail! Ol' Blue has got to be one of the nicest looking recovery rigs going. It seems to really have class. Thanks for the videos.
AWESOME job on the new framework for your friends rig! That is the cats meow! Love your towing skills. Great Crew.
That was a singularly unique approach to a recovery…..you are the top gun team there!👍👍
It wasn’t a long drive backwards but Rory “pushed” the impressive factor even higher with this one!
Well all I can say is your sense of humor is second to none!!!! (and your skill) Thanks Mator crew.
Just a 10bolt doing 10bolt things, lol! Thanks for the video!
Golly Rory another successful rescue. I watch your videos and when I do I always feel a confidence about you that I know you are going to gently and safely gonna get people and their vehicles out of the predicaments they get themselves into. You have a great team. You set the achievement bar really high. It is obvious that you are experienced and good at what you do. Ok maybe you fooled me but I don't understand why this channel doesn't have a million + subscribers. You're the best kept secret on You Tube.
Totally makes all the difference when you can be warm. Keep it up guys
great video Rory/Mike, it sure is nice to see Ol Blue's doors and windows keeping you from turning blue in the cold weather 😉 I remember when these Tahoes came out in 1992 in the new body style when i was working for a large Chevy-Olds dealer and how much more comfortable they were than the OBS especially the heaters/AC and quietness and increased power output from the Vortex V8's ,we sold sold them almost as fast as they came in the door and took in allot of good old Blazers on trade and they sold pretty darn fast also, nice recovery 👍
Love the new Samurai creation. You and the team can really build some impressive rigs.
Wow. A lot went wrong in that Chevy. Nice rig though. It'll get some repairs and be better than before.
I love what you did with the Samurai! That is going to be one fun toy!
You guys working and joking together cracks me up every time.
Thank you for being a joy to watch.
You guys are Amazing at what you do!!
" snap, crackle, and pop " is supposed to be the sound of rice crispies , not the rear axle of a rig
Just when you think there’s nothing else Rory could possibly do on a trail recovery that would surprise you… BOOM! He backs down a trail while attached to a full sized blazer!
Another one in the books guys...nice!
Impressive wheeling in this one, where the owner knows what he is doing in a recovery...now that is rare! #Respect
Great Saturday morning viewing!
Great Job On the Suzuki Project!!! Works Great!!! And Definitely A Great Job On The Recovery!!! Always know what to do when the situation gets worse!!! And Ol Blue Is A WORK HORSE!!! I can see why you would want to take it out as much as possible!!! And Looks Damn Good Too!!!
Great rescue like always. At least it didn’t look like you had to go that far backwards.
2 broken axles and did I hear front differential is broken too. Sucks big time.
Good morning yall
Messing with some folks has to be difficult. Very professional for not laughing right at people tcase is broke.. both drive shafts still spinning
That is the first trail I ever drove my C--5 on that's where I was getting in to four wheeling ,,👍👍
Another great video by the best off road recovery team in the USA.
Awesome Saturday, new trail mater video !!!!!
You are very good at dealing with people on the trails with no knowledge that needs to be in that position. You handle it very well if they will work with you all your team.
Great recovery guys....also great job on the buggy !!
Every vehicle gets the Moab Motor Works “Container Wall Climb Test” before it’s delivered to the customer.
👍🇺🇸
Awesome video.
Keep on living your dreams.
Regards from South Africa.
Way to go Rory and Mike you got another broken down vehicle off the trail.
I wish right next to the thumbs-up button there was a laffy out loud button! You guys are the best!
Great recovery of a Blazer.
I forgot that those had "c-clip" axles.
Ole Blue looks AWSOME!
Your content just keeps getting gooder and gooder. I like the no wheels off road jack idea, I have an old one with rusted wheels and may have to try that.
Well, that was new (to me). Good job guys!
When you built blue I said that it has become my new favorite off-road tow truck and now that you painted it green it has really become my favorite.
God those tires on Blue look awesome on those black rims.you guys do an amazing job.I’m takin back every time I watch you.🎉🎉😊😊
Some guys want a muscle car. I want a truck like Blue.
Rory you are the man !!! Tow in reverse. I have a 94 Blazer that looks just like that Tahoe. (but mine has a straight front axle swap and dual transfer cases)
Hands down the best off-road channel !!!
Love that you do a longer bleep and bloopers at the end a winning concept of great videos . 👍
Trail Mater Team = Skills
You guys rock.
Lot of patience backing down trail with tahoe,, great job!
Or hit the parking Break ! I hope you didn't forget the JACK ? At any rate that was a unseal recovery . Thanks for sharing !
Some skill taken here backing out. Nice work Rory
Clean looking blazer. Another tow job well done
Really love rorys content. He don't talk too much. Gives u a brief rundown of what's Goin on. That's it. Lil jokes here and there. He don't over exaggerate things. I love it.
I need rory as my father figure.
Heaters are a good thing. 😊 Looks frosty out there.
Ol’blue looks good with one on the sling!
Another one in off the trail 🤠👍👍👍
Fantastic Body design. 2 doors. 80's. Wish they had kept it.
Watching Rory >back out< on a trail, pushing a broke-down rig. SMH. Did you really have to do this, or are just demonstrating that you have amazing skill? Props! (and--regarding skills: a few months ago i was kidding Rory in a comment about climbing and parking a rig on the container, and for the last few videos, he's been climbing the container with whatever he's driving. Wild!) Best Channel!
Pro Tip: IF you do not strap the tank down, it will start to rattle and slide about when low. Notifying the operator that He/She/They/Them/It are close to running out of propellant! Sort of a fuel gauge. Thank for the video!
Another fantastic video - thank you for bringing us along!
You dragging the blazer out answer my question about me taking my Tahoe out there with my 35s LOL
What an awesome example of how to adjust a plan on the fly when that Tahoe started walking axles.
The rocks have no mercy for weak links. 🍻
So... perhaps unknown to Rory and Mike... Mike especially... I accepted your 100% bet on shifter bushing as a no... so I win the bet... What did I win??? 😂🤣😂... and Rory says, "I'll just back out of here!" Amazing... I have trouble backing down a flat long driveway 😂🤣😂 and... I think you should spray one of those storage containers with sand grit to make the test drives more authentic... 😂🤣😂 that little Suzuki crawler is amazing with all the work you have done to it... Thanks for sharing 🙂 Tail lights with tiny blinkers.. so cooool... and road ready too 🙂
Great bit of reversing and over ruff ground and towing a dead truck well impressed. You put a lot of so called driver's to shame.
