Another Elephant Hill Recovery

- Had to go back in to Canyonlands, down Elephant Hill, and get a 94 Jeep Wrangler that broke the axleshafts and the ball joints on the passenger side. Went in not knowing exactly what was broke so we didn't take parts, was just easier to carry out and repair at the shop.

That was some great driving very technical maneuvering to be able to get out alone much less without swinging the jeep on the back into an obstacle. You have trail mater dialed in for that type of thing and it's so awesome to watch!
You right! He sure does!😃
I'd say out of the 3 channels , Matt's, Fab Rats, and Trailmater he is the most technical surgical driver, and especially with the size of his rig and setup that thing seems to go anywhere you point it
Mind-boggling level of skill and pure genius. Matt does the hard ones. Rory does the impossible ones.
Hey Rory, don’t listen to the negative garbage that comes through. Stay focused and keep doing what you are doing. I am totally envious of you wishing I could drive as you are. I know… you make it look waaaaaay easier than it looks. Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. I enjoy every moment of it.
There is skill. Then there is real skill. You my friend are one of the most skilled recovery drivers out there. Great video.
facts
I had a hard time navigating those with just my vehicle, let alone dragging something behind me. Mega skills recovering.
On the back down switchback very impressive to tow a jeep around it
Hey man. This video here was probably one of my most favorite videos you've done yet. I love your laid back (kind of "fuck you if you don't like it how I do things") attitude. Your videos are entertaining and informative. You come across as super easy going and approachable and most of all likable. Keep up the great work! Oh. And your "camera guy" did a nice job too. 2 thumbs up! He deserves lots of tacos and beer. :-)
Totally agree! Well said!
People are always going to find faults !!!
Love your video !!!!
agreed. cant please everyone. i love watching trail mater hard at work. what a weapon.
Agree 100%. Rory’s attitude is awesome. Like it or leave it. The man will always have his share of subscribers.
Rory don’t let the internet knuckle heads frustrate you. You don’t have to talk if you don’t feel like to. If they aren’t entertained they don’t he even to watch. I for one believe what you do is incredible
@grizwold7583 I like it. IKH (Internet Knuckle Heads). I'm going to us this. I agree with you. I like your comment.
He makes it look so easy, got to keep your head on a swivel. Nice job.
Sound worked perfectly for me.
It didn't work for me but I backed out and reloaded and then it work
What can I say. I was in the Australian Army for 20 years in a transport unit driving constant 6 wheel drive trucks in some of the harshest terrain possible and alI I can say about you Rory, is, Im in absolute awe of what you and that beast can do. I salute you.
Rory, I like when you explained why you do some things , but you do not have to continually talk like some seem to think is necessary.
This is not a movie production, it’s real life. You do a great job, and very professionally I might add.
Keep it up, you provide a very special service that a very few would ever attempt, your critics have probably never been off pavement.
Cheers
Amazing! Another 30 minutes of spellbinding, on the edge of my seat, head shaking off road recovery! You're the man Rory!!! Love it!
The torqueometer on the 454 went off the scale a few times on that one. Great job once again Rory. Great video Shawn. The only way we know how steep, is the tires squalling, they never lie.
I watch because of Skill and Craft of Trade, Rare Knowledge.
There is not one other person on the planet who could do what you guys do. You are a skilled master. Mater.
I never cease to be amazed at the places you get to and then come out hauling a broken down vehicle!
It never ceases to amaze me the places you guys manages to recover vehicles from.
just epic what you do Rory. Short of a Chinook or parting the Jeep out there'd be NO WAY to recover these trucks...you built it right.
Smoooth Operator! Awesome job and rock-crawling tutorial. Wow they did a number on that poor Jeep front end haha
Even you can't do a no-parts fix for that Jeep. :-D
This was an outstanding video of pucker-worthy moments from my eyes. The mere fact that there is so much area that is off road friendly amazes me. There is a little bit of area on the Idaho/Western Montana border that has trails, but it is rare. I have a few buddies that had a week long trip to Utah every year to ride motorcycles. Sometimes they had scrapes, blisters and broken bones before coming back to work.
Have to really crawl it out to keep it from flipping over, loved the way you split the diff and skid the front end over. Good work my friend
Awesome job and video, love how you do the front wheel skid around corners. You're the only one I've ever seen do it. You can call it the Mater Shuffle.
I am so glad I found this oldie but goodie. Corny I know but seeing this from 2022 early it just proves who is the best. Rory and Sbaun and Mike are the top of the top. Thank you Rory
I can hear the content just fine and I think this video is great, and different angle shots is awesome! People need to calm down and let the man do his work!! Keep up the great work and videos!
plenty of sound on both my pc's and my phone.. watching you work the wheel.shifter, brake AND winch was pretty amazing
This is by far the best recovery video you have made. Technique and skill without a whole lot of explanation. Keep up the great work!!!!
Far freaking out! Just Trail M8tr being Trail M8tr. Just Rory being Rory. As near perfect a match to the task as exists. Thats what makes it look like it's easy to do. There's a saying that goes something like "Perfect design is achieved not when nothing more can be added but when nothing more can be taken away." IMO you nailed it.
I hope the customer appreciated how much skill, time and care it took to recover their Jeep. Not to mention how specialized the recovery truck is.
Can't find an adjective to describe that recovery. The way you pivot on the locked rear wheels on those tight turns was awesome. I liked when Shawn was in the Jeep and said he had to turn the steering wheel. ..
Matt has "So we got a call", Rory you have "So we have a plan".....motto is done. Good Job Rory, cheers from Italy
This is an excellent representation on how it is to off road tow. You are a master. Anybody that gives you grief can suck it! Cheers!
I really enjoy when you are out on a job. But it's cool with Matt and Robby all three.
Thanks Rory! Old dude in Iowa here. Enjoy every minute of your videos. Love the sound of that big block reaching deep for another bucket of torque. Trail Mater is a work of art - from one who was raised in a farm shop where paint was something you had to remove so you could make things work right.
I love how you bring the front around like that, it's good that you can disconnect the rear. Love your gear stick, and you got a manual transmission
The double canera angle added in is nice to see just how much you got to pay attention to, and you told him not to turn the steering wheel and he still did 🤣. Good video!
I work with heavy machineries of all sorts and I really like how you do the work, very nice to see someone who takes its time to do the right thing 👍👍👍👍👍
You, Matt's off-road, Casey LaDelle, and that Eric from bsf are the best of the recovery videos I watch
Looking forward to the bake-off between Trail Mater and MORR’s epic off-road wrecker. Dollar say Mater wins.
@@GuyChapman yeah, gonna be a good one, last vid seen of Matt's was the getting the axles on it, looking forward to seeing finished end results
Can we put Ron Pratt on the list, He has had some interesting recoveries?
@@jeffclark2725 certainly Sir, remembered him shortly after posted
The BSF Recovery guy from Wisconsin is Eric Huttner , and , his wife`s name is Mara . He sometimes refers to her as " Seat Cover" . Recently , he did an engine rebuild that was interesting . He is a very sociable guy , and has a nice way about him .
Love the picture in picture. Love the lack of generic CZcams background music so I can hear all of the wonderful mechanical sounds. Thank you!
Ha! Whether the sound works or not (it was fine for me), that is some serious work getting into & out of the recovery area. You have got to be really on your toes for that area. Nice work!
Some people always have to comment on what you should do but you don't see them out there you keep doing what works for you and TM you have skills sir thanks for the videos
Great job Rory! I like the way you use the front dig to walk the front end around for the tight corners.
You’re the Man Rory…!
First of all, sound was NOT a problem. Secondly, you are a magician at getting things done. Especially dealing with switchback turns and hard terrain. You and the truck are one awesome pair. Thanks for taking us along.
Great recovery all the best to you all
I don't know what kind of money you make for these recoveries, but I definitely know it's not enough to pay for the knowledge and skill you have to pull this stuff off and make it look routine. It's just amazing how you manage your space and handle everything, even with the extra weight and room added by whatever you're towing. It's a pleasure to watch.
Some serious skills!!!!!
I heard it just fine and your driving always amazes me it's so cool watching you do them switch backs
yay for another rescue! good sound and filming. Can't do what you do but suing the safety lights seems pretty legit as you are towing a dead Jeep behind. Keep up the great videos and hopefully the internet trolls will fall off or perhaps catch on LOL. You rock Rory! As always incredible driving skills! Excellent camera skills and braking Shawn! (hope I spelled it right?) what a great recovery!
That truck with your skills and experience - awesome!! Great recovery.
Really liked this one. I enjoyed seeing the rig in action from outside and hearing about how you do it.
That was a close and tight fit between the rocks... Really nice recovery Rory....
Great video, Rory!! You did a super good job!! That was a bit of a gnarly trail for a wrecker but as usual, you pulled it off like a pro!
Yep, Rock Crawling can be expensive. Thanks for sharing "your" video.
Great recovery! Sound was great, and loved the in-cab angle and watching you work the sticks. Don't worry about having to narrate the whole video. Just be yourself. I love your format, and don't like a lot of superfluous talking anyway.
YUP!
Ingenious. The Left Winch is used as a Parking Brake and the Front Winch is used to tie down the broken wheel like a Deer Carcasses.
I think a lot of people also don't realize mater is a straight shift. Something the majority of folks don't know how to drive nowadays. Great job.
Great job, once again! :) I really admire how you and TrailMater work "together". No one else can do this, I'm sure of it.
The quality issues is for sure a YT thing, so please ignore the "yellers". If people has problem to understand that Dolby-Atmos-Trippel-diget-sound-something-something are hard to replicate outside, in a canyon, with machines going and metal squeaks, well the loss is on them.
And don't you dare to muffle TrailMater... That engine needs to roar!
I second everything Chris has stated! The audio worked just fine on my phone and on the pc. Thanks for sharing how you manipulate M8ter through those trails! Outstanding!!
@@donaldstafford970 audio is good, he just needs a remote microphone. Some videos he's talking and you can't hear a thing. Fairly common with this kind of content creation. He'll get there with time and experience, just like he does with his rig and these recoveries.
This is another amazing recovery.
For the life of me I cannot understand:
1. How people manage to mangle their off-road vehicles so badly, and
2. More importantly, how is it that TRL M8R can take twice the strain without batting an eye?!
I think TM is (over) built but maybe more importantly is Rory has a lot of mechanical sympathy is the way he drives. Being smooth with equipment makes sure it lasts...
As far as mangling vehicles, in the dunes the worst broken front ends that I have witnessed are due to booze.
@@ricoolivier "Mechanical Sympathy..." That's an awesome way to put it. I'm definitely using that phrase in the future.
@@ricoolivier Mechanical sympathy along with Mechanical symphony got the job done.
M8ter is built with some dam good parts but even still he could definitely break something if not very careful.. The part where he ran the winch in this video could have easily broken his rig if he just sent it.. rock crawling is incredibly hard on parts.. if you start wheel hopping on a ledge or something and just keep the hammer down you can break even the strongest parts.. the fact is that most of these vehicles are not off-road vehicles they just look that way and nothing separates the strong from the weak quite like rock crawling...
Terrific work, your truck is absolutely amazing as is your skill operating it! Well done!
Don't know what you guys charge but you deserve every penny.
Great to see you driving and how precise you position the wrecker,
Super video 👍
Absolutely amazing footage I can’t get over what you can do with Trail Mater awesome camera work. Can’t wait for the next video
Rory thanks for takeing the time to talk to my son and grandsons last week. ( it made there day ) thay had a great time out there last week on vacation..
Rory, I tried to watch this last night when I got the notification but it didn’t load up. This was another awesome video.
The other time you were up there on recovery I said it made my feet tickle. This time as my son would say when he was three
Years old, it made my feet scared. Lol. I love all of your videos they are like a scary movie. They keep you on the edge of
Your seat. You are absolutely awesome. God bless and protect you. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching this now , very interesting and impressive 👏 👍
All those levers , all make Trail mater what it is - and you have absolute control 👌
Have a great day 😊
Edit , great video by your colleague 👍
Its amazing that you are able to get those rigs out of that terrain. Thanks for doing what you do. Stay Safe.
It never fails to impress me the skills you present.
Awesome rig
Awesome driver
Shame we don't have something like that here in new Zealand
I’m speechless… Let’s see, how will I begin… First of all, the scenery by the photographer was just unbelievably, beautifully portrayed; as well as exhibiting the entire recovery to perfection....no blank areas to guess what’s happening!! Loved the photography of the driver in the upper left corner and still able to see all of what’s happening with both trucks! Kudos to the photographer! Now for the driver: he was so meticulously careful! He had to watch the front of his truck, with a big tire on it; the back of his truck; the height and elevation of the Jeep he was pulling and the back tires of the Jeep!!! I hope the Jeep owner paid him about $1000 for his meticulous care. If it had been me and I noticed how poorly someone had treated their vehicle, I would’ve gone 90 miles an hour up those hills and forget putting another scratch on that Jeep! This was just fun to watch because 2 PROS were seen at their finest!!! Wisconsin THANKS YOU BOTH!!! Back in the 1950s or 1960s, there was a piano player/singer named Jimmy Durante and he had a big nose ( like your truck with a tire in the front); he often closed his show with “Ha cha cha, Ha cha cha” and shook his head back and forth when saying it! You should close your show that way ha-cha-cha, ha-cha-cha!
Great job Rory, your videos are great as they are.
As always, great video!
I love watching yours and Paul's trucks at work. You both do recovery where all the complainers don't have what it takes to go.
Keep them coming.
Thanks to Shawn for such great video. Professionally done
Good Team Work makes it look easy. After that, I know both of you were ready to call it a day. It's a lot more tiresome than it looks.
Rory, another great recovery showcasing your talent for terrain, drive line, and load management. You should be an off-road recovery/advanced wheeler master instructor. Thanks to both of you for the adventure.
Amazing video and some of the best driving you will see! It’s great to your channel growing!
I can literally watch this for hours. Everything well under control. Keep it up .👍
Rory….just be you no matter what folks say! Appreciate what you do and your new camera guy!
Rory, I would like to know what you have forgotten. Always a pleasure to view the task at hand and your fix. Your word count is fine LOL! Shaun... It takes a little hair and faith to be pilot of the towed vehicle. Nice Job!
Wow, that dual camera action for the climb out was AWESOME!!
Great video ,I loved the split screen shots. It really helped show the difficulty of driving out on a trail WITH a jeep in tow .one of your best videos. keep up the good work.
Man...........
I love watching Rory weave Trail Mater through the trails !
👀 👍🏻
TM rocks 🤘
No audio on the video Rory
A lot of work and skill to do these off road recoveries. Thanks for filming it and taking us along. Great video. 👍
Let's see, going down switchbacks with a jeep on the hook, adjusting winch for the hook, locking and unlocking brakes, front and rear differentials while driving a standard on the side of a mountain is coronation that very few people possess!!!! Awesome skill there Rory 👏. And people are complaining about the sound 🙄... I heard every word ya'll said. ✌
You, as a service provider and as a CZcamsr are underpaid … THANKS for helping keep Moab a mecca of recreational bliss… you are kind to keep investing time and effort allowing the pilgrimages to continue!!!
Another Amazing recovery video Rory! We enjoy watching how you skillfully maneuver Trailmater through all those obstacles and tight turns! Just keep doing “ You “ , your doing great in our eyes!
Rory has that same "busy but no rush" demeanor behind the wheel of a truly professional race/rally driver... Looks like he can make a cup of coffee while he is shifting, twirling the steering, feeling the truck talking and stepping on the clutch and brakes! A true professional at work!
Don't forget operating the winch too!
So impressive I watched again and got an even more detailed view of all the precise moves you had to make to get this big package through all the turns and narrow passageways on steep slopes with loose footing in many places. The Trail Mater is the most awesome vehicle I have seen on the trails and Rory is a great driver. It can drive, tow, lift, winch, weld, and anything else you would ever need on a trail. #1 in my book!
Rory… that was full on fantastic. Thank you for making these shows.
That was awesome watching you finesse the tight turns with all the gizmos in the cab.You make it look simple,but a magician never reveals his secrets.Great job as usual!
Nice video Rory! I just found your channel last week or two, and you've already gained a few thousand subs! You're definitely about to blow up!
Thanks for your hard work.
Your driving/ crabbing skills are off the c chart.!! You and Paul and Matt are seriously skilled!!
Anybody with comon sense doesn't need you to talk more . It's just a privilege to watch a real person doing a real job. Good work !
Great job guy's and good footage for a limited crew. Can't wait for the next release. Oh yah, don't turn the wheel in the broken vehicle, it doesn't really help!!!
Nice work....fantastic driving/towing/recovery skills.....great camera work!!!!
Trail Mater is a beast! Rory is all that is Wheelman. Seems to be limited camera crew, which I like because it's like watching in real time. No music! Genius! No narration! Also Genius! Raw and uncut, except for all the profanity that I'm sure never happens ever! Love this Channel:)
Anyone that complains about that video doesn’t deserve access to that video. Some of the best technical driving/towing skill I’ve seen. Having operated a tow truck in flatland conditions, I’m gobsmacked at your front dig, rear lock maneuvers on those hairpin turns WITH A FREAKING WRECK on the hook. Wow. Just. Wow.
You and your skills amaze me more than finding an honest politician. Great job, as always.
"Just another Day on the Trail", I never comment on these, but this one forced me to say simply, Good Job! Having done this so often I'm sure you know this one is Epic.I was impressed with your driving skills and "Trail savy".(Eat your heart out Matt)
Rory what you do and how you do it is your business quit worrying about the few d.a. The best way to get them back is to say nothing. You and trailmater are the best be safe thanks for all the great videos
You guys are nuts 🤣🤣🤣🤣 great recovery Rory and team.
