Is This Too Much For The Recovery Trailer?

- I got contacted about a jeep on Golden Spike Trail with a broke rear axleshaft. Being a c-clip style axle that meant the shaft was walking out and the tire wouldn't stay on the vehicle. I scheduled it for the next day. While doing some thinking about how to get it out I decided to try carrying it out on the recovery trailer. Otherwise we would have to carry it out backwards which on that trail poses all new risks and challenges. So Shawn and I loaded up to go get it. Chris came along with us as support and also if it wouldn't fit on the trailer and we had to carry it her jeep could pull the trailer back to town. We got to the vehicle and after some measurements decided to try it. It fit surprisingly well and we went for it. Only had one steep hill where we needed Chris to help get us up it. Everything went fairly smooth and the trailer handled it great. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

When Rory says sketchy, you know it’s gonna be a good video!! Thanks again for letting us see what you do. Off the charts talent on display every time.
The fun thing is that you can almost predict the „drama“ level of a video based on Rory’s choice of vehicles. The wreckers are on the low drama/perfection end of the scale, while the buggy is on the other „Ah, that’s one where he gets in trouble“ end of things. The magic seems to need a boom to work.
liking his sketchy more and more!!
That was my thought as well

Rory's sketchy is Matt's baseline. Especially the old "winches are for people with patience" Matt.
How in the heck do you not have as many followers as Fab Rats and Matt’s Offroad Recovery? Your content is just as entertaining and many times more technical.
Less clickbait and less time spent grinding social media and/or The Algorithm leaves more time on the trail.
They gettin' there!
You nailed it.
Technical
Safe
Secure
Properly.
It’s not intentionally dangerous and dramatic.
The followers here are intelligent and appreciate the effort and skill displayed.
When it absolutely positively has to be done, Trail Mater and crew get it done.
SR71 reference? Okinawa?
Man that looked like a nail biter in places, a bit top heavy and challenging terrain, but Rory's good judgement and driving skills were up to it. Another great recovery!
Impressive! The sound your tires make on rock’s sound like a very unhappy dog.
Rory I am in Awe that you design and build machines capable of climbing orver those super rough rock trails and get people and machines out of trouble. You guys are heros and should be acknowleged as such ! P.S. Thanks for no crappy music.
Such an easy recovery, well Rory makes it look so easy. Good camera work Shawn, hi Chris.
I love that even your trailer is more off-road capable than most 4wd vehicles out there.
Just when I think you and the crew have done the very difficult recovery, you find an even more challenging recovery.
Gotta appreciate the *completely necessary* front dig at 12:33!!!
Chris for the assist! Well done team. Rory, sorry, I skipped a commercial. I wasn’t thinking.
1. I love that trailer.
2. Those downhills, being pushed by all that extra weight, look terrifying.
Love the landscape. I never tire of seeing it.
A new song, is born, WALK THE AXLE, back in baby !
Golden Spike with a trailer.... with a Jeep on it. Getting it done sketchy style. Thanks for taking us along.
You always make things look easy, even when I know it is not. You and your team do a great job creating content for those of us who watch.
This channel got me thinking about the forces working on a trailer, being drug around off road. Totally different than self propelled.
Trail Mater and Rory's abilities, to get the job done, never cease to amaze me.
Great job for all involved 👏
When Trailmators tires start squawking, it reminds me of my Pit bull everytime he see a child or another dog! He is such a gentle doggy, and just loves everyone!
the problem is that you make it look easy. Matt had those 2 beginners on his channel and it helped show just how hard it is, even with very capable vehicles. It takes high level skill, but that doesn't always translate in the videos. On that note, y'all sure do live in a beautiful area. I was lucky enough to live in Yosemite National park for 24 years and I loved it, but the desert sure has its beauty and Moab is right up there. So beautiful.
The trailer looks like a furniture dolly under that jeep. Love it.
That shelf climb at 8:40 shows how well built both the truck and trailer are built. The casual wheel lift in the beginning was like a friendly wave.
The CG of the Jeep on the trailer had to make for a fun rescue but nothing you guys couldn’t handle. 😮
Saving me from a boring Tuesday morning with a video!
I must say again, that is a very well-thought-out trailer. Just the right size, lots of floatation, low center of gravity, and tough as a roadside diner steak special. The weight of the jeep made this an interesting recovery. Nicely Done!
The wrecker goes places that I wouldn't want to try with my XJ.
I'm guessing that putting the Jeep on the trailer instead of on the hook, allowed you to keep the front wheels on the ground a lot more.
I imagine that off-roaders doing a trail, proud of their off-road prowess, then see the wrecker coming up the same trail, which makes them re-think capability.
Furthermore, I salute your approach to your videos. No made-up drama, and no trying to be an internet personality, just good honest work and some fun doing it. Thank you!
Chris great to come along for back up
Looked like smooth sailing, I would have been worried about going downhill, if starts to push, you are along as passenger more or less. Thanks for sharing have good time and take care.
Thanks for taking the time to film this recovery. And great job crew.😊😊
The more I watch your videos, the more I realize how hard your job is. Every job & trail holds new challenges everytime you go out. Hats off to the whole team. Thanks for sharing
Hey Rory ///Shawn & Chris !!!! Amazing !!!!! 🙃🙂😊🤔🙄👀👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
"cast irene" made me loose it🤣🤣 almost as much as "that, that right there is from the ba-roke period".
If anyone can do it, Rory, you're the one that can! Thanks to John Shawn and Chris!
Sketchy??? You never disappoint with your talent and skill. Thank you for taking us along on this one. Pretty sure I puckered a few times just watching, lol
I’d like to hear your comments in the next videos as to the pros and cons of using the trailer for a Jeep. And if you’d consider trying it again. Great video as always. Thank you 😊
Commandeer Rory and his talented side kick, Trail Mater, conquer the terrain to make a difficult recovery look easy peasy.
Rory's expertise and experience in recovering these vehicles from the middle of nowhere is tremendous. I am not into rock crawling but even if I was, some of those rock faces and steepness would give me pause. Rory makes it look easy as to how he traverses them but I am sure it isn't and takes immense concentration. Great job Rory and Shawn
When the Mater gets winched.... its the real deal! Nice work out there guys!
Sean and Mike are both terrific cameramen! You distracted that guy on the bike, hilarious!
ohhh snap shawn teaching our secrets to rory ayee lol ober dar waaay ober dar 😅
Yaaaaaay another episode of Trail Mater team. Rory and team are always teaching a different way to recover a vehicle.👍👍👍 That clutch is a beast to have that kind of holding power with slipping.
Its actually a stock Luke brand clutch that's all rorys driving skills lol
Just when I think it getting mundane, you come up with another challenge. The jeep was so high, one wrong move and over it goes. I addicted to the 454 sound. What a beast. Did anyone notice the bike going over, I've had a knee banged in less. I'm sure you would have brought him down if it was serious. Good job all. Thanks for posting.
Rory... perhaps trailer brakes (controlled independent from the truck brakes) can be your next upgrade to the trailer... help control your descents with heavy loads.
He has the trailer set up exclusively for sxs and has the exact amount of things to make it work because more parts means more things that can break because that trailer gets used and abused
Got a call from a buddy of mine several years ago that was stuck on some off-road trails with a CJ 7 with the axle hanging out like that and I pulled him out through about 10 miles of trail with my Short wheel base 86 square body 4x4!! Every time someone broke down or got stuck they called me!! I had a set of buckshot mudders on it and there weren’t many places I couldn’t go except places with cattails!! Never ever drive into cattails!! 😂🤣
“Hang on I learned this on CZcams” 😂😂😂 I could be exhausted but that was freakin hilarious for me tonight lol! Love the content gents! Thank you for it!!
The tire chatter, trailmater speaks.
That was a little bit tense. But they made it. I think Rory has been driving those trails since he was a baby. His knowledge of
how to handle everything so smoothly is just so awesome. My respect for him is the highest level anyone could get.
❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️👍👍👍👍❤️
As always, Rory and crew got it done. I like when. Rory says " sketchy". And then the sketchy is for entertainment purposes only, lol. As always, great video! Can't wait for the next one.! Thanks for what you do!
I’d love to see Matt, Rory, and Eric from BSF all trade AOs for a week. I feel like each is so unique!
Shawn nice filming bud that 1st one looked like a wall straight up👀 & down💀! Rory you make it look easy when you use your Skillz and that Beautiful custom trailer I really like that low center of gravity it has now, btw sweet front dig👍. Ty Chris for all the help & great drivin.. till next time fella's, have a good week!
☕🐢
I do so enjoy watching Rory meter out the slow speed control downhill. I learn a lot here and laugh more than a little. ✌
Such nerves of steel that a Diamond Bill rock pecker couldn't damage them. Great skills gentleman and Lady, Thank You for sharing and getting the job done for our enjoyment.
You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Rory said this would be sketchy and Poison Spider is very sketchy in a lot of places! Towing that Jeep out on the trailer was a tough pull for Mater and Chris was there to help one time on that steep hill. Good video and Shawn was great on the camera!
The skills it takes to haul a vehicle on a trailer through places most can’t drive is off the chain! And you make it look easy 🇺🇸
Good morning from Idaho, Man looking jeep perched up trailer looks like flop over so easy ! Great recovery.
Getting that trailer down without it tipping was an amazing feat of skill.
I love the little extra video clips you add to the end of every video.
15:02 This is why you are ‘That Famous Guy’.
Rory has the best clutch pedal “foot” discipline that I have seen!
Clutch AND gas. Love the 400rpm lope up a hill.
For anybody else, absolutely too much but for you Rory not so much 😳. I don’t know how you didn’t tip that thing over 👏👏👏✌️
Ya'll damn near gave me a heart attack on this one Rory! Well done indeed.
Another great recovery video. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
I’m only 2:10 in and had to comment on the videography, just superb.
“Don’t do what I do” … ok Rory, maybe I won’t, but I’d love to have the opportunity… ❤️🇷🇴
Ok, that video opening (after reading the title) was off the hook. Better than Star Wars. Kudos to the editor!
Steady as she goes today was the best tactics applicable. Just another day in the office by the A team
The trailer looks like it handles the Jeep just fine
Big guy in a little coat! 35's on a YJ with stock axles..... and surprise!! Great show again.
Another one for the Ole Mater . Mohan Motor Sports ROCKS 🤘 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Hi to Lily😇. Peace
I got a good chuckle when you said please be a 4 cylinder. I drove across Canada in a YJ back in 1997 in a four. What an awesome trip! Lets just say I never had a worry of getting pulled over speeding. lol. Love the Misfits skull on it too!
Looks like you're recovery trailer did very well great job Rory 👏 🤙🤙
Another win for the big bad dog , no rory not you , TM Trail Mater 😂 Nice assist by Cindy 👍👍👍👍 Cudos. I swear man TM sounds so good , tuned so well. Rory knows them motors , they all sound so good. 😁😁😁👍✌
With that load, trailer brakes would be very helpful.
Rory & Mater drag that trailer through hell...... and it keeps on taking it. 🍺
Rory I like that you really put the trailer to the test. I'm thinking samurai has been it's heaviest so far. You rock always!
Excellent recovery from all u guys, well done
The Seals seem really upset with the Bears this week! Aren't those tires about a grand each? Hope you're charging enough. 😁😉
The title question is wrong - who cares if it's too much for the trailer? You can build it up if needed. The better question is 'what is easier / better for 'Mater?' You'll know better than us interweb idiots who aren't there, but I'd propose that the trailer is tougher to tow out than using the boom and winches because you can't set it down, get up some tricky bit, then winch it to you. I'd ASSUME lifting the rear and towing it out via boom would be gentler to all involved (and let someone steer the towed jeep). I love watching you problem solve - you've got a gift.
Welp, there's always one way forsure to find out if something is too much.....just send it!!
Good driving guys , beautiful driving, of course the country side second too none, thank you
Having a Jeep on the trailer definitely puts the size of the larger "side by sides" in perspective. Not small.
Much respect to Rory for his skills. Hope Mike is healing up ok.
That truck is one of a kind. It's amazing what it can do and the places you take it and put it through. The trailer is awesome too. Great job to you and your crew. Love your channel, keep up the great videos.
Worked out pretty good, especially the part where you used 4 wheel drive 😂
Rhat was some of the greatest driving with out rolling that top heavy trailer!
Some people would be so screwed without Rory and team. Well done
Wow I have never seen a trailer like that. Do used to pull a jeep out of the trail. Amazing great work again Rory and Sean.
You never cease to amaze me!! That was indeed "sketchy" Mighty rugged trail to be on in the first place, let alone pulling a trailer WITH A JEEP ON IT!!! You guys are awesome!!! 😁😟😟
When I was 10 I was at a car show and had an epiphany. Jeeps get cooler as you replace the Jeep parts with used chevy truck parts.
Must explain why Trail Mater is so cool, its 100% used chevy truck parts!
Rory: Don' do what I do...
Rest of us: We CAN'T do what you do... that's why we keep callin' you to bail us out!
That was quite the recovery! I hope Mike's hand is doing ok!
Lol Shawn “boom botta bang” I always heard “botta boom, botta bang” 🤣
Thanks from England + an old 'parentism' we have here you may not have across the pond 'do as I say, not as I do'.
Rory, I am firmly convinced Mater could back down a mine shaft, slap a hook in an Elephants a$$ and drag it screaming to the surface ! , What a BEAST of a Machine !
That one was a bit heavier than what you usually get! Took a little pull to get up that hill even after you put it in four-wheel drive! Another great video!
another great tow video. you guys rock!! So rad to see the little extra snippets at the end!
Well we can never say we've seen it all, not yet anyway. Just Wow!
For most people, that was way beyond sketchy. Great a job.
I love it! Sounds like any parent/ bossman! 🤨"Do as i say, not as i do" !!! 😂Great job! Cool video! As usual, the video shows driving skill! Thanks for taking us recliner quarter backs/ drivers along! Great video!
Trail Mater...Planet Mars
Great work looks like trailer brakes may be in the future if you keep using it like this
That YJ is definitely snug as a bug on that trailer, also looks very well protected from any rock bashing at any angle. 😅
