- Went in to the Cliffhanger Trail to repair the steering gear box on one jeep and drive it out. Then we carried the other jeep out with a broken steering knuckle. Thank you everyone for the support and watching.

Diamond Bill Rock Pecker. Definitely a protected species here in Southern Utah. They prefer the soft rocks in our sandstone canyons.
That's what she said.
I'm pretty sure I know her
Yeah. I googled it 😂

We were just talking about the holes in the sandstone the other day and now I know the rest of the story.
I continue to say it's so AMAZING to see how easily and calmly you motor over all these really difficult obstacles that others demolish their rides trying to pass; repair, replace, or weld their broken equipment; and drive or drag them out seemingly easily. You have tremendous skills and knowledge; and it is really fun watching!
Aptly said !!!
it takes intelligence to understand that there are better alternatives to the knuckle-dragging simple-minded brute force option: play it smart, still have fun, break no hardware and neither the bank ... Sir Rory is a master, but many people don't get it! 🖖🖖🖖
Rory and Mater are Superheroes!
I could not agree more, I am in total awe just watching the videos of insane machines scrambling around incredible obstacles. Thank you all.
I'd love to see him wear a pulse rate monitor - I reckon his heart would barely get off idle..... Amazing skills. Very impressive stuff.
"Luckily Jeep engineered this knuckle to snap... This is all sarcasm, and I hate Jeep for switching to aluminum knuckles for absolutely no reason other than to complicate things to make things cheaper and cheaper."
EPIC STATEMENT! Agree 100%
Right or wrong, the switch to making it out of aluminum was likely less about making it cheaper and likely more about making it lighter. Unsprung weight is the enemy of suspension systems on road.
Jeep=Junk Each and Every Part🤣
@@sheepwolf1st Exactly! 🤪😂🤣
@@sheepwolf1st Everything is junk when it’s broke🤣🤣🤣
@@darrenmcdonald3319 so I'm guessing that you wouldn't be a fan of having 1-TONs with RCVs, and double sheer hydro steering, rolling on 40's?
Jeep switched to aluminum knuckles for MPGs and they picked a stupid place to do it. The savings were trivial at the cost of strength.
A u-joint failure should not grenade an entire knuckle assembly. I've seen hundreds of blown axle u-joints and destroyed axle shafts in my life, but nothing like the carnage we see with aluminum knuckles as part of the equation.
My hat's off to Shawn for having the guts to ride those trails in a towed vehicle. At least he knows he's in good hands with Rory pulling him. Loved Mike's Diamond-Billed Rockpecker story. 😄
My grandfather would tell me story's about when he was a professional diamond bill hunter. They never thought there would be an end there was just so many. Then one day, 💥 nothing!🤣
Rory, in our house we think the world of you, Shaun has the cool factor everyone needs, we all need a Shaun lol
Got to respect how Rory just casually drives up one handed eating his meal where you watch other videos and it's all drama love your work 👍
What a great group of guys you got there Rory you are hands-down the recovery expert I hit thumbs up every time before I even watch the video.
Maybe you got here from the GOAT: Matt’s Off-Road Recovery.
@Tony Casto
Same here...😁👍👍
Me personally, here 1st, Matt 2nd, FabRats (Paul) 3rd. Oh well, I think I got all of my choice folks.
same here I always smash like button before I get into video so I don't forget
@@AZBEEMR i'll admit i did. I kept seeing that wrecker and had to see the madman who ran it...
Rory's highly skilled multi -tasking = driving ONE HANDED over STEEP terrain , large rocks AND eating lunch ALL AT THE SAME TIME = recovery master !
He's absolutely amazing! Really knows his stuff!
"THE DIAMOND BILL ROCK PECKERS "....
PRICELESS...!!!!
I had to rewind a couple of times to make sure I heard that right....👍👍👍👍👍
Steering wheel in one hand and burrito 🌯 in the other! 😂 Great video as always!
Or was it a Hot Pocket?
It was food either way
@dady dad a Hot Pocket may require rest room facilities sooner than a burrito.
And at a greater urgency level,,,,
Just another day at the office for Roy and Towmater.
King of off road recovery. Hands down. Living in Moab helps a bit. Hats off.
Credit where credit is due: Thank you for the subtitles/closed captions. Being hearing-impaired makes one feel like an "outsider" on a daily basis. With the captions, I feel like I am "one of the guys" along for the ride, right in the center of the action. Thanks again, brother . . . MUCH APPRECIATED!
One of the most under-rated channels on CZcams. Rory's personality, driving skills and mechanical skills are the best.
Rory you make that look so easy. The Capability of Mater and Rory as a driver is unmatched. Love the content. Keep it coming.
The camera was in an excellent position throughout the video-it showed your expertise at navigating the terrain, and wow-you’ve chosen your help well! 👏🏻👏🏻
Man... you own your own difficulty scale... it's way above others!!! 😎👍 Great ride along Thx👍
Thanks Rory. I really like the introductions of the guys or gals you have with you. That is one thing I always liked about Fab Rats and MORR, it seems more like family and friends that are including us too. Great videos.
“Diamond billed rock pecker”. Awesome. 😂😂. Nice Mike. Great bunch of guys unbelievably skilled and quick thinking and now comedy. Hard to believe but your videos keep getting better Rory. We don’t have that kinda terrain here in Manitoba Canada. Really do look forward to each video as I always learn something from them. Keep up the great work and be safe. 🇨🇦 fan
Being from up there u are pretty close to zip ties and biesplys
Trailmater a garage on wheels. I swear you can make another rig with all you have on trailmater.
Another great video. Thanks.
That second recovery looked to be really challenging & was great to watch. You & your team really work well together, but I often wonder where Shawn gets his nerves of steel riding in the disabled ones?
Trust
i’m a mountain biker and i always see the jeeps struggling to get those features of cliffhanger…. to see you do it without a spotter and while towing is just impossible!!! 😂 love your channel man, hope to see you out on the trail sometime
Rory I give you guys credit you have to be fearless doing that job right along the edge of the cliff like it is no big deal.
I always know with your videos they will definitely be top quality and a lot of fun with you guys working together.
I love the commentary during the video. Your comment of so birds don't build a home made my night. That shows your personality which is a lot of fun. I respect that about you.
I hope we will be seeing Donkey more if possible that is an amazing machine.
Keep up the great work
Great stuff, Rory! Love the Saturday PM upload...forget the algorithm!
…. a great showing of your knowledge/skill of these difficult trails!
This was one of the most amazing haul outs I’ve seen you do!!!! You’re pretty gosh darn amazing Sir!!!!!!!!
Rory's skills are legendary, and unquestioned, and the mighty TrailM8tr is world-class, but what I love is Rory's graciousness and humility. No trash-talking his companions and co-workers, like so many awful US TV shows, just getting the job done and treating the people around his as equals, and giving them credit where it's due. Working with you would be a pleasure, sir!
Hey, Rory, just a technical question, how would an electric-engined car go as a rock-crawler?
In regards to the electric-engine. Litebrite showed one on an east coast trail. It struggled because it had instant torque. There didn't appear to be a slow crawl mode. It looked like it could be crazy dangerous.
It shows that sometimes when towing another vehicle off these tracks you change the location of some of these large rocks just by pushing them slightly with either your wrecker or the towed vehicle which in turn makes it easier for following vehicles on the trail afterwards. I love your driving style when you have a vehicle in tow, it shows your knowledge of the tracks and consideration for the condition of the towed vehicle not to be damaged any more than it already is. The other main comment I would like to say is if more people took note of your driving skills there would be fewer damages and recoveries.. you do most of these tows in idle or just a little bit of revs to help get up and over the obstacle, not foot flat to the boards like most other (Idiots)....
Thanks to you Rory and your team for taking time to film, and show your adventures, all the best
Doesn't get much technical than that, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time wow
That QuicCrete did the trick for the trail repair!
Rory knows these trails like the back of his hand.
Matt's Off Road Wrecker Challenge should be something like this. Well done.
The amount of skill that Rory has driving Mater is insane! Great job!
That’s a good touch you have at keeping it slow and easy while working your way over obstacles.
You are the man, and that wrecker-- impressive doesn't do it justice..
Diamond billed rock peckers that live in the holes around here… 😂
Genius improv following up on the question why you stuffed a rag in where the half shaft was.
Sometimes you’ve gotta think… why did I ask that question! 😂
Great video and fantastic work by the team, thanks Rory.
Trail Mater - Where school begins on how to drive on the rocks in Moab! THANKS!
Riding in the towed vehicle looks pretty wild good job it amazes me how capable trail mater is 👍definitely the right rig for the job
Not your average tow truck and CERTAINLY not your average crew. Great job guys!
Rory, Real Heroes wear Moab Motorsport Recovery Shirts. God Bless
Wow it's amazing how these parts snap and break great video,always like the way Trailmater just motors along ,no 10 thousand rpm engine racing and tire spinning
loose sand and solid rock will eat just about anything
I started to watch this video again by accident and realised I had watched it before, but I still watched right through. This I don't do with anyone else's videos.
There are some very pretty and, hopefully, capable new machines out there, but Trail Mater is not really pretty, she is beautiful. I also realised that Rory and Trail Mater literally become one entity, which is why you are so damned great at what you do.
Still my number one go to channel every time I fire up CZcams. Keep up the great work Gents.
Holy crap!.....now thats a cliff hanger!...thanks 4 video. be kind.
This channel, Trail Mater, has to be the best off road wheeling videos of all time, bar none!!!!!
Lol. You guys are funny. You guys amaze me at the stuff you can do.
Wow another S.O.B. trail that would be hard enough traversing just driving it much less with one on the hook. As always very impressed with what you and TrailMater can do.
New wrecker should be an old Mac cab
Diamond Bill Rock Pecker... That was AWESOME!
Have to admit, I always like watching the "bush" mechanic stuff... BUT the towed recoveries are epic. When Rory plugs his forever white tennis shoe into Trail mater, the two become one. Pretty much the last obstacle, sans winch cable, showed Rory and "mater" just on the edge of lifting the front, but not doing it. Probably "blowing up your skirt", but that is a damn master example of man and machine. The crew kicked ass too.
Brings new meaning to the phrase" between a rock and a hard place".
You have come a long way in your camera work and you are actually talking to your audience! I hope you go back and watch the old stuff sometimes to see how far you've come!
Your office is intense. Keep the videos coming. I really need to go to Moab and Sand hollow.
That was a real treat Rory, well done on a difficult bit of terrain, loved the longer video, more to get my teeth into, but I could watch your skills all day long. Sean is a star with testicles of stainless steel 👍👍👍👍
Love the off road repairs and a great display of technical driving as usual
Great control of the breakfast burrito in the driver hand while using the passenger side hand to control your rig 😂😂😂😂
That did imply confidence, even boredom.
I wonder what Rory thinks about Matt's large wrecker project? It is pretty cool so far, with the big engine and rear-steer. (And trailers without suspension? It's a different world now.) I thought he should use air-bags instead of coil, but you guys know much much more than I do. I think Ronny Layton is also building a wrecker, or maybe it is Paul from Fab Rats. Maybe there will be a wrecker competition sometime down the road. Rory's wrecker is a pretty well trail tested machine, and built for the job. Probably broken/fixed, improved, and then broken/fixed again time after time.
Matt is building a big tow truck,Fab Rats is building a better tow truck and Robby Layton is having Rory build his tow truck.
That is some serious skill you got there Rory. Nice job.
The bunge x ropes did an great job controlling side sway on way out crew had fun making it happen as usual great job
Shaun must be immune to motion sickness. He just swings and sways back there. The Diamond Bill Rock Pecker story was great!
Leave it on the trail and more parts of the jeep will be missing! Good job getting one fixed and the other towed out!
I love that Rory’s idea of a side step is a iron stirrup for an iron horse!😁
I am still amazed w/ your driving while towing a disabled vehicle.
A good repair, then a great recovery. Who else would be driving over boulders along a cliff edge with one hand while eating a sandwich??? Thanks Rory and guys.
The rock crawling while munching on a burrito was a nice touch.
The O'l Diamond Billed Rock Peckers again!!!
The channel's growing every day Rory, with videos like this it is easy to see why. You guys are the best! Stay safe out there and God Bless.
I've had the pleasure of meeting you twice now and getting to see your beast of a truck.
I was the 76 bronco at the grand junction offroad show that did the dirt obstacle course right before you. 5.5 inch lift, 37s, and not a tough course really. I killed it twice and bent the rear bumper (so still a course most 4x4 couldn't make it through factory).
You picked up the wrecked "jump truck " and went through that course like it was nothing while towing another.
All of this to say, you really are a 4x4 recovery artist and make these already difficult obstacles look "not too bad".
You're doing it while towing another vehicle....amazing
It is always jaw dropping to watch you get them out Rory but this one was real tough. You always do an amazing job, and this time was no different. It was good to see the gang with you, it’s obvious you all work well together. Stay safe and above all else, stay awesome. Thank you.
the skill level it takes to drive that wrecker and tow something without slamming it against everything is amazing. You are one hell of a driver Rory! Keep on showing us this amazing landscape and impressive driving. I appreciate the extra effort you guys put in to show us everything!
Fascinating, great recovery video. Thanks
I like that sweet trash bag buddy!!
I love that there is a burrito in the left hand while crawling up some stuff that most people wouldn't even think of driving up.
Love your channel!!!
I'm always amazed at Rory's gift of figuring things out and creating engineering solutions out of random pieces of metal, parts, and junk in his truck ... his gift is special for sure
"Diamond billed rock peckers"🤣 That is pure gold!!! I've watched a bunch of these rock crawling videos lately and I am totally amazed at the terrain you guys can take a motorized vehicle on. Mind boggling!! Shaun.. GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO!!!
Every jeep that rolls off assembly line keeps this guy in work ..😄😄😄😄
You gotta love Rory... eating a burrito and riding the trail lol
Rory’s field repair skills are over the top!!!
That's my brother Alonzo that land you guys enjoy so much. Remember that never call it your land native. Land. You enjoy all those trails but I have yet to ever hear you say thank you to all the Native Americans who is Landwehr right on.🤷🏽♂️👍🏽😁😎🙋🏽♂️.
Every time I watch your exploits, I say to myself: since I got nothing else, I have to believe my eyes.
Unbelievable otherwise…
Also big thanks for shedding some light on the mysterious diamond-beaked rock-picker!!!! As we now have the song, the wing movements, and the nesting choices!!!!
I shake my head all the time when I watch you and your crew retrieve rigs in areas that seem totally inaccessible.
Thanks to you and Tha A Team, for another awesome video and recovery.
Loved the diamond bill rock pecker comments. Classic
Shawn and Mike with Your Guidance has made this the main Banana.
Excellent up load-- interesting content -edited to perfection -no gimmics -realtime footage and totally engaging . Thanks again .Jonny UK
You can't replace a steering box in the back country, and no way you can pull a Jeep out with a wreaker.
Unless you're Rory. Every week he does the impossible and has no clue it can't be done. -- Amazing. ---
I hope engineers at Chrysler heard your complains on the weak parts!!! Love your video!!!
Your recoveries are better than any movie I have ever seen. Amazing skills.
that ability to have front rear or both drives is so cool. When Paul says he was going to do that to his fj I wondered why it would be needed. After watching you do these recoveries where a single vehicle can hardly pass and you do it pulling dead weight or mostly dead I see you need every tool and option one could add to a vehicle. One thing I really admire is all the like minded friends you have. Seeya next time.
"Diamond billed rock sucker" is a gut buster. Torqueometer pegged out again. What a skillful run again.
This recovery and the rollover jeep were the most fascinating I think I’ve seen. The problem solving and ingenuity held my attention from the incredible setting of the location. Thanks for sharing what you do, Rory! Your candid analysis about The technology was spot on.
This was a real recovery. And a tow in of another. That Mater is one fine machine.
This knocks the socks off of pulling razors out of sand hollow.
Driving up a cliff climbing over boulders driving with one hand with a burrito in the other, now that’s confidence. LOL. Great video.
I would love to hear Rory tell stories of situations that actually got him scared.
Watching trail matter work is very impressive. Just the forethought that has gone in to it.
Rory pulled the other one out with the trail mater and the story almost ends there, almost... This Jeep is going to have to sit and wait for parts because of a national back order situation.
The team was outstanding today. Whomever they all were. Be safe and keep the shinny side up.
I surely would love to see Mike getting more face-time. I don’t want Shawn to lose any of his because I would absolutely miss his cute face! They both do excellent filming but are also invaluable to recovery work as well. You have a strong team with you Rory! Love you all!!
So the Wrecker Olympics of off road wreckers is coming up. As much as hate to say it, because I got my favorite, my money is on experience with a boom! Looking forwards to those episodes.
Adjusting on the fly crawling through that trail is serious skill !
You know it's sketchy when Rory hooks a line. No way in heck would you catch me in that Rubi going over all that! one time it looked like it was going to flip. Killer job Rory and team. Liking all the new camera angles and footage.
