- Another sand recovery out at the White Wash Sand Dunes with the Jeep, a PSA about GPS, and an update on some of the builds coming up. Thank you to everyone for watching and supporting us.
www.trailmater.com is up and Shirts are available. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
“They’re talking to me again…” 😆 loving the out take shorts on the end, so funny, keep doing what you’re doing 🙂
I agree, love the outtakes!
Rory is actually a pretty natural (and funny) comedian as well as the undisputed master of trail recovery and repairs.
Probably has to be both to be either one of those... :) like saying you have to be good lefthander if you dont have a right hand.
@@nekoroms yes indeed Rory is best Driver around I got 36 years driving Big Truck keep up the Beautiful work Brother
"So many bad ideas all in pristine condition!"
Started my morning off with breath-taking laughter!
Love you guys!
Love this line, I’m going to have to work on fitting it into daily use somehow! 🤣
I’ve had a few of those that were not pristine by the time I’d followed the idea! 🤔
That needs to be on a shirt!
I keep getting stuck in my Toyota Prius because i keep watching Rory video's and see him going there. So it's not my fault.
A good warning about use of GPS systems ....... A good example is a recovery where Mike Patey and HeavyDSparks recovered a motor home when it became stuck with an elderly couple took a bad turn and the male ended up losing his life after a week or so.
Thanks Rory for covering this subject
That was so sad, the most tragic was setting off in the towed car and getting lost, running out of water and only being a few hundred yards from their motor home with a tank of water! 😢
If you learn one thing, learn how to ignore sat nav decisions that look bad, as Rory says, they only get worse!
I didn't know D recovered that one. That was a terrible situation.
@@crisnevin7934 Yes very sad, here's the youtube link -- czcams.com/video/2SvuZ_y75EU/video.html
@@crisnevin7934 I think it was covered on Mile Pateys channel
@@doogssmee9742 I'll check it out, thanks!
I always knew we were very similar, but as soon as you started in about the V10 I am convinced that we must be related 😂😂
Rory, you have the unique ability to see the whole project in your mind from the beginning to the end. It beats chasing paper drawings and schematics.
Oh man Rory is just the type of uncle we ALL want in our lives
Rory, I appreciate your candor and how much more comfortable you’ve become with sharing your voice in front of and behind the camera.
When I first started watching you it was all about the truck and the terrain. You were just the quiet, gruff, and slightly awkward operator.
I hope you realize how much sharing your work, life, family, and personality helps connect you with your audience. Keep up the great work. It’s been fun to see your channel and business grow. Just don’t ever change, I still love the slightly gruff and awkward operator who now more readily speaks his mind. I don’t think I’m alone in stating that it’s very entertaining. To hell with the haters and know-it-alls. Be safe out there.
I hope he keeps it off roaders and gearheads and doesn't go the way of Matts and FabRats.🙏 Too much kiddy stuff and music !!! But his little girl is an exception for sure... will never knock a cutie pie 😜 I have my own.
You guys are having too much fun 😄 I've met many people who blindly trust the GPS and couldn't read a paper map to save their life...usually the same people who can't turn around in a parking lot without getting stuck lol! The lack of common sense and "responsibility" these days is astounding
I should have known you are a fan of responsibility ;) Love your vids and really enjoy following your logical approach.
You are absolutely right no common sense
@@davidburchfield2720 It is good to use the technology ,but , you have to also have your wits about you . Always have maps . Always have water , extra clothes , compasses , and
a spare tire, and the necessary jack . Off road , you need a good winch and you need to know how to use it .
@@davidburchfield2720 The problem with common sense now days is it's not very common.
I think the folks that don't know the cardinal directions are hilarious. They'll say "go to the light and turn right." And I'll say, "north, correct." And they just shrug and say they don't know. It just boggles my mind.
Matt and Paul are bad ass’s but I’d bet money they will learn a few things during the wrecker competition.
Lamenting the death of responsibility. Thanks for the video and the message - you and your team are awesome and so dang funny! Thanks for being who you all are.
That's awesome! "We've got a winch, and we've got a military shovel, that's all we need! "
What’s coming then the world’s largest 6x6 heavy wrecker.
Great video Rory, your cinematography was good but you are getting better and better with each one.
"you can get parts at any liquor store" LOVE IT!
You hit the nail on the head with this one. So many people don't know how to take responsibility for their actions and are no longer able to think for themselves. If a device isn't feeding them information, they're lost.
The Outro in the middle was your most professional. Your Outro blooper expecting lighten strikes from the heavens was awesome.
"Responsibility being off limits!" The smartest and truest thing I've heard since... you know!
"I'm not doing it to spark controversy. That's just a bonus." Two birds with one stone!
So many fascinating projects coming down the road. Your subscribers are like little birds loudly chirping at their mother “more mom, give us more!”
Rory- I love your humour !!! Old school will work our way through things and persevere - "electronic dependent" will "shush" people riding with them when directions are electronically given- How do we cut the cord from the GPS to have it give "Suggestions" and by god - we use our head and make the final call ! Siri doesn't know your favourite colour- google doesn't know if you've met your dream other- so don't empower GPS that it "knows" the route safely !!!
Great video as always Rory ! Shout out to Mike for the angles of the camera :)
My wife will insist I activate GPS, then decide my phone app is inferior and activate hers. So I try to drive with two devices squawking at me while she panics, says we're getting lost and repeatedly leans over to check the gas gauge. We just celebrated or 50th wedding anniversary.
You are a saint.
Good words of advice, "if it does not feel right, take another route." Especially in unknown areas.
Mike is the perfect "Ed McMahon" to Rory's "Johnny Carson" in this dramatic comedy show we enjoy as "Trail Mater". Both of their senses' of timing and their expert understanding of the landscape in which they work make it possible for them to play off from each other. Both are totally capable and both are totally comfortable in each other's company. Ed, of course, always defers to Johnny and allows him to score the 'big chuckle'. Well done!
Loved the comment about GPS. A sign in the middle of our mid-city botanical gardens says "This is not a camping ground - Your GPS is wrong". Enjoyed the outtakes - I so relate!
I don't care what anyone else may say about your decisions, because in my book you are a totally unconventional mechanical genius. You only need to look at Trail Mater and compare that with conventional knowledge to prove my point that you make a machine to do a non standard job efficiently. Keep up the good work.
If you tell your Sat Nav that you are in a car when you set it up, it will take you down dirt tracks. But if you tell it your in a Truck or a Semi, it will keep you on paved roads. In theory.
ENCORE ! MORE, M O R E !
Que applause !
Excellent video ! Truly life saving info and advice surrounding the GPS debacle.. from a seasoned true professional who clearly knows the dangers that unfortunately exist out there.
Kudos to you Rory !
Thanks for the project updates, very interesting !
And To Justin your editor... your creativity is killing it !
I love the " surprise" outakes at the very end of each video.
Big time fan of Trail Mater channel.
Well said sir! Side by side limo service?. Great idea👏👍🍻
Ok the looking up and over your shoulder was perfect LOL!!!
I listen to the voices all the time! Man do they come up with some crazy ideas... Hold my beer and I will show you! Lol... Fantastic as always!
"It never gets better." True that. I always appreciate your PSAs.
Love your ideas for the 6-wheeler and Robbie's wrecker. I'll be watching 😀
Amazing how the 1st guy bought a pickup to carry his spare tire! 😉😉
I really love your thought process : need a tool for a job, let's build the right tool !
With Robby's truck, I am with you... that chevy engine is a beast itself and you can find parts on every shelf out there...
Responsibility or admitting when we are in the wrong is a key part a life. Great content!
"Responsibility" 👍
"Their Fault, but it kinda is"... I Love this statement❤
Sooooo very true 👍
They (the park service) should hire you guys to do their Public service announcements (PSA's)
Excited to see both those projects in get underway.
BTW I'm completely with you on the cost effective "use what you already have"
Approach to building projects.
Can't wait for the "heavy wrecker" build. No nonsense build. Let's get it going!
RE: 6x6. Years ago I owned a ramp truck with tandem leave spring rears as you describe. That truck steered horribly loaded. Always wanted to go straight. I’m sure you have a plan to resolve that but your design reminded me of days gone by. All good times for sure! Thanks for all the videos you create!
The fact that he can power or un-power any axle should take care of that situation. Maybe an air-bag that would raise the rear axle up when needed might be a good idea. You do have a point, when driving a road grader with the diff lock on, it is VERY hard to steer. They can cheat though and articulate to steer. LOL
I want to suggest that 'bit' about the trailer axles/wheel off sets. One is lower for off road weight handling & the other for paved road hauling. Might be the trailer overhaul vlog. Rory takes many factors into considerations on these builds.
Rory, you've always gotten my attention with all your trucks, but with this 6x6... Oh Boy... I cannot wait to see you cutting and welding and adding things to it...
You make me want to be 30 years younger and come out and play goodness how nice it is to have a good job I appreciate your content your creativity !
Ah yes, the voices. You have a good point with people and their GPS apps. Pretty crazy what voices they will follow. That 6x6 is going to be very cool. Great idea. As far as that 350 goes, It's been a go to motor for decades for good reason. Looks like some cool stuff coming.
Looking forward to seeing how these projects come together. I appreciate your builds having sentimental value to you. I could really tell that with Trail Mater interviews you've done. It makes the vehicle so much more than just a tool.
Great PSA ! Common since seems to be use by less people more and more everyday . So they needed that !
People have it so easy these days. When we ran around in the Anza-Borrego desert in the '80s, there was NO ONE to call when we got stuck.
The best quote "ever the road never gets better
Love the blooper outtake! And once again we wait for some cool builds, fall can get here anytime soon, leaving this heat behind!
Good to see that you run around a little to have some fun while you are out working. Always take some time for fun, it keeps us healthy!
Don't ever trust GPS 100%.
When we go off-roading I use forest service maps, MVUMaps & two different GPS mapping programs.
My husband gives me a bad time, but I'd rather have to much info on hand than not.
Plus we carry the Garmin InReach
Can't wait to see the build of the new "toy".
Rory is a blast haha good for laughs and knowledge and then laughs again
what a super rad area, so beautiful and so neat to see the trees among the dunes. Your GPS PSA was on point Rory. People gotta take ownership that if they venture off pavement the results could be as bad as fatal. your 6x6 with the Dodge looks rad. Plus the SxS are getting so big and heavy having a full flatbed on you and omitting the trailer makes perfect sense. I can't wait for this build! I am an avid disliker of anything Ford. Between their appropriate acronyms and mile long recall lists, most mechanics are grateful for them as it keep the job in business. Can't wait for Robby's wrecker build!
Rory, Rory, this is the voice from above………..take the right, don’t worry about the cliff, …….. thanks, be safe!!!
The 6x6 idea reminds me of the T-rex 6x6 concept back in the day. they used 2 NP205s first was married to the trans and the second drove the 2 rear axles. Cant wait to see how this evolves.
Thanks for encouraging conscious, cognitive thought.
(Especially about the news.)👍👍
I love all the poking and ribbing about the different wreckers their all awesome and I am enjoying the ride
Don't know if it is a conscious effort on your part, or if it's just luck, but you manage to frame the most fantastic "thunderhead over the mountain peak shots" I've ever seen! Love to go along with your trips via video! KUDOS!
Sounds like some cool projects with some well thought out ideas for them to work well. Can’t wait to watch
If the trail videos were not so interesting I'd still watch for the humor! Sneezers, etc 🤣. I'm with Mike... Whitewash is my favorite...so far. Beautiful country!!
@8:56 speaking about GPS- Youi have to combine GPS with COMMON SENSE when in remote areas. I live in South Africa, got lost in the Northern Cape Province between 2 towns, approximately 220 kilometers from each other on dirt roads. I had GPS, which took me on a wild goose chase, BUT my common sense left me and with hindsight the alarm bells were there from when I started going wrong, but I ignored it. I got lost for 3 hours, had a flat at 09:00 in the morning and had to change the tire with the temperature at 30 degrees Celsius at 09:00. Like Rory said, very politely, do not let GPS override your common sense. Go explore and God bless.
You make me laugh. I really apprieaciate YOUR explainations, and thoughts on how things SHOULD BE. Many thanks .
I deal with “professional drivers” all day, “this is where my G.P.S. took me” is my pet peeve. Remember, G.P.S. Be it a Compass or an IPhone
Takes human input for it to work and as we all know, to error is human so by that logic, double check your route. Another way to look at it is, that phone isn’t a “Carrot on a stick!”
I've watched a wrecker service from Missouri that routinely rescues semis from what I would describe as an over-the-road truck version of a "chinese finger trap" after GPS has routed the driver down some one lane road that may deadend on the opposite side of a drainage ditch from their destinations back property fence.🤣
@@oldretireddude and most of them could not back up to save their lives.
I thought for a minute that you were going to drop a 12 valve into Robby's AA. And then I remembered you have GM running through your veins.
RESPONSIBILITY......EXACTLY. Im glad SOMEBODY remembers what thats about. Lookin forward to the new projects. 👍
Finally get a chance to sit back for a few minutes and Bam! You and Casey each got me a video to escape into for R&R! 🥳👍✔️
True story, The lady in the box isn't always smart especially when my better half says "who are you gonna listen to her or me" lol. Good video from a smart man !
Looking forward to both builds.
I can only watch so many recoveries. Builds keep me coming back
That was well stated. So many people don't want to accept responsibility when something bad happens. Good message.
6WD, got my attention. Can’t wait for the build to begin.
Ah yes the infallible GPS... Just follow it people, its so entertaining watching Rory come get you out...
I'd love to be able to see inside Rory's head, not head... Imagination! So many things melding together...
I like the blooper reel at the end too, there must be so many outtakes 😂😂
Matt often says the same things about people getting upset. At the end of the day, you are providing entertainment through your youtube channel and a service through your business. Who cares what others think. You build your stuff the way you want to. In the end, you are the one working on it when it breaks down.
Haven’t heard one of your diatribes in a while. Glad to hear it. Thanks for the update on the projects.
I love the comments about responsibility. It’s so true. Thanks for sharing the recovery. Great views.
Another excellent 'natural ' upload . Flowing interesting and real content . No contrived gimmics -real blokes doing a proper job . Thanks for upload . Jonny UK
Your GPS advice reminded me of the poor Google employee that lost his life after he took a “shortcut” that GPS told him and he got his Subaru wagon stuck on a logging road off I-5 just south of Ashland Oregon. His wife and baby stayed with the car and lived. He died of exposure a few miles from the vehicle in a ravine. It was winter and snow was 12-18” deep. So sad the he trusted the computer and didn’t stop to think if that was a good choice.
I'm right there with you on the V10's. Worked for a company that had purchased a few in their bucket trucks. I know personally that 2 of those trucks had the motors replaced 3 times each before reaching 120k miles. I would never run one in anything!! Love the idea of your new project!! Will be eagerly waiting to watch it unfold!!
Very good advice for GPS. We have a few roads here in Ohio that the GPS will take you down a road that will require hefty recovery if you go down those roads. We have some people at work that found themselves in work vans stuck on these roads and had a farmer or two with tractors that recovered them.
We built a 400 small block Chevy and ditched the 400 rods in favor of a Scat rotating assembly with longer rods. With ported Dart heads and a mild performance cam, this would produce 515 lb ft of torque with 400ish HP, which would pull a medium weight wrecker around just fine. It's no big block but will get the job done. Don't worry about what everyone says. Build it the way you build it.
9:06 - Good advice. I remember when 19 or 20 years old and trail driving without any “what do you do if the vehicle quits - thoughts”. No cell phone. CB’s were popular back then, do not think I had one of those with me either. Life stuff learned the dangerous way. Thanks for stressing this safety.
Can't wait to see you build it and see how it does when you're done
Sharing your years of experience is a great gift to all who view. 👍
The old 283 Chevy engine was my favorite forever, then 350 .you could use them in anything. Hope Robbie realizes what he's getting from you!
Robby's Wrecker, this is so special it screams to be a working show piece not an everyday recovery vehicle. standard size tires so no fender cutting and a ford powerplant like a 289 with tri-y headers and shelby oil pan, I understand the 350 and you are right on all counts - but don't turn this into Robby's recovery vehicle make it his parade truck
You don't have to be out there in the middle of nowhere to get in trouble with the GPS devices. I operate the RV 780 and when it requires you to do an update "do not ignore" because at that moment your safety perimeters are turned off until your updates have been completed. Like low bridges, no u-turns, etc. Use common sense and don't trust these devices to keep you safe. Great video Rory and crew!
Our rv 780 routed us from one end to the other down the Vegas strip to get to the rv resort when the resort is located beside the interstate with an exit nearby. 7 pm on a Friday night. My guess is there was some traffic on the interstate and it thought that it was 1 or 2 minutes faster. Always study a map before your days journey so you remain in control of your route. All equipment is fallible especially humans 🙄 😒
I can’t weight to see some come together!!! They are going to be amazing I’m sure!!! Awesome video buddy and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!
The old green dodge is still around. Sweet.
I’m a retired truck driver and I resisted gps until my wife bought me one, then never with out some form of it. I however always had my map aswell and checked my days route before starting my day, then commonsense is the most important rule. Oh and for high vehicles. That height restriction sign is there for a purpose read it and if you don’t know your height, turn around. Enough preaching to the masses. I realized that I had a smile on my face the entire length of this video. Maybe I do on all your videos just didn’t realize it. The explanation of your 6x6 build and why each component will be this way plus Robbie’s build will be amazing.
Watched your video the other day when you were explaining your early life… the education u missed was just a piece of paper… You have excelled in your adult life… created a business..have people on the roll that you are helping them support their families…You have a great gift for solving problems quickly and correctly…have a great relationship with ur daughter.. Keep up the good work.. you add value to ur community..Luv your videos!!!
Beautiful landscape 👍🏾👍🏾 Rory always brings the right rig for the job at hand
I've always heard that the V10's were bullet proof-- at least in the early 2000's. I personally own a 2002 F350 7.3L diesel, ZF 6spd manual, manual transfer case w/ manual locking hubs. It's extended cab with a 9ft flatbed. dana 60 front/ dana 80 rear (srw). 330k miles and it's still going strong, probably one of the best trucks Ford has ever made. So Idk, about the V10's of this generation personally, but I've known 3 people who owned them and I've never heard anything bad about the engine, other than it's a gas hog. Can't wait for the 6x6 build though-- it's gonna be fun to watch. (grind hard plumbing) channel has a ford Ranger 6x6, with axles from an old Ford MUTT, and it has rear steer too. But they have already broken the steering and a rear diff.. So it's definitely not strong enough for tow truck work. So I'm excited to see this build.
That ending outtakes are the best! Keep up the great work!
Oh goodie - I see a lot of new wrecker build content coming later this year!
Great video up here in Washington and Oregon, GPS likes to send people up snow covered mountain roads and get them stuck, great video, 👍 looking forward to the build
Hi Rory, I cant wait to see what you do with Robbys tow truck and I’m also very intrigued about this 6x6 project, thanks Rory
You do an awesome job, and I get a kick out of you guys. You're hilarious
Can't wait to see wat the Voices in ur head tell u wat to build !! 🤔 Yrs . Down the trail could be a flying mater 👍👍 !! Thanks for ur thought""ss 😊
Love the idea of the 6 wheel drive vehicle. Also love the good natured competition and idea sharing between the channels. Wo is the winner ? The winner is the viewers enjoying fantastic content.
Always a pleasure to watch years of experience & someone who’s been there & knows what he’s talking about.
Keep ‘em coming.
Really enjoy the common sense, well explained build set-ups and old school proven styles.
I LOVE the comments on “RESPONSIBILITY”, the brand name on a motor that works and you could get parts at a “liquor store” hahaha, and the ending just because the phone/iPad “tells you something” it does not mean you have to listen NOR believe it!!! But the best part, was about the truck that your family has passed back-and-forth, means something to you, and that after 593K miles it works great!!! AND, I wonder why that might be, with an ace that can do anything with a piece of metal in the family! Great video, thanks a ton, love your comaradery!!!! FUN! Wisconsin
