4Runner Repair On Gold Bar Rim
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 08. 2022
- A customer called about his 4runner with a broke axleshaft and a damaged front shock. The shop in California that built his rig managed to overnight us a new shock, so we got it and a new shaft and headed in to fix it. Once repaired and ready to go we soon realized that the other front axleshaft was also broken. We cut it out and left the 2 end pieces in place to retain the wheel bearing and the gear oil in the diff. We got it back to the shop and swapped in another new shaft. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Only a couple minutes in the video and I'm loving all the undercarriage and aftermarket suspension shots! So cool to learn about rock crawling and all the mods to go with it!
I too love those undercarriage shots. Mike does a great job
Rock crawlers are a different breed of off roader , they call a a pile if rocks. A. "Trail" there kinda nuts
TrailMater has a freaking umbrella!! Just when you thought you saw all of Rorys tricks...
I also really appreciate filming entire process of repairs. It's amazing what he does out in the field.
@@flopeki me too! I'm learning so much.
@Richard Gray I know! Another surprise. And it sure makes sense in that Utah desert heat! I think my favorite tool to date is the articulating sand anchor! (Seen a few episodes ago) Just genius! No trees to anchor the winch in the desert sand dunes? No problem deploy the sand anchor. ⚓
Guess that guy didn't get his good luck on the way in like you. Thanks for sharing.
I find it very enjoyable hearing your truck speak for most of the video. Hearing all the squeaks rips and chains makes me feel alive. NO MUSIC NEEDED.
Underdog to the rescue. You should put a cape on the top of Trail Mater.👍🏽🤙🏾🙋🏽♂️😊😎.
Good camera shots and the camera guy sure knows what he is doing. I like seeing the under carriage in action. That retaining strap is an excellent way in preventing over exhertion of the springs.
I use them on my JK to prevent the shock from bottoming out every time a wheel lifts.
I agree Leon, Mike does some awesome camera work. Yeah Mike.
Mike, I like that you're trying out new camera angles. Rory, since Mater has everything under the sun for a recovery, what do you think about adding convenience options to her? For the summer, you could install a Mt Dew slurpee machine and in the winter, a hot cocoa machine. It'll be a hit, especailly for your daughter. I bet you that Matt and Paul never thought of that. You'd totally wrap up the King of the Wreckers title!
Mike takes some impressive videos from a different perspective that show much stress is on the equipment!
Like the way you have that umbrella stashed, in there so you can have some shade. Nothing is greater than an idea this time has come.
The way you drive before hitting obstacles made complete sense when you said "my oil field days". Not gonna be late for anything lol
I charge by the hour, I didn't think you wanted me to take my time! Hilarious.
It's amazing how supple the leaf springs are. This rig is an engineering marvel
People these days give 2 link such an unnecessarily bad rap. I swear people ride around once in something like an Isuzu NRR or some old clapped out square body and start spewing how leaf springs ride like hell with no exceptions
I mean yeah it can absolutely be better - that's exactly why 4 link was invented and why suspension designs progressed - but there's definitely nothing wrong with it by default. It's anecdotal but my CJ7 is 2 link front and rear and rides MILES better than any other crawler I've personally rode in, both on and off road - I might even go out on a limb and say it's smoother driving than my daily driver 4Runner that's 20 years younger and with IFS+4 link.
I love how Rory keeps us on our toes with his posting schedule. Its even better when we don’t know it’s coming!
I like it that, with my schedule I have to just look for em when I get time myself.
Ditto on Don's comments. Love the undercarriage & driveline video spots. Thanks Mike. Also love the throaty sound of that big block when the right foot gets heavy.
Mike gets some very good scenery in all the videos aswell
Matt's new wrecker is going to have to be insane to be able to beat Trail Mater.
RobG--Surely they must be counting on pulling a rabbit out of a hat? Only way I can see it happening.
Depends on the terrain. The larger tires will get more ground clearance, so time will tell.
All of these camera angles! love it! specially the pedal cam!
the video side of it is getting better and better at every video !
That's so cool to watch, Rory and Mike !
Great filming Mike 👍👍👍
Rory, you have the best off road videos .
Thanks for posting !
Wish you great success !
SLC 👌🏼
An umbrella. 🤣❤️ Once again, Rory, Mike and TM put the icing on the cake.
That was great, watching the under carriage of trail mater flex and move with the terrain. Good stuff. And it was interesting to watch you disassemble the runner and reassemble it, way out in the middle of nowhere. The content of your videos is great and getting better and of course, without the bs that you see on other YT.
OOOOOOoooh! Getting fancy with all the undercarriage shots and the slick editing. Good Job editor and Mike.
I sure do love a proper manual transmission for off-road. You make it look so easy and smooth that everyone could believe it was an automatic!
I thought the umbrella was a Fantastic tool for the job!!! 🎆Great idea...💭ingenuity counts for 90% of things nowadays & it's Needed... As you... Proved..🌟👍 🌺🚬☕
I liked the clutch work shot, I've been curious.
great camera work mike. Trail Mater, rocks, hot, what a rig.
I like the more repair less ride in out videos, thanks.
So that's where Mary Poppins umbrella went! Lolol great video guys- thanks for taking us along.....
You were talking about the limits of IFS on another video, this is proof. You must know front ends better than just about anybody.
Sick drivetrain action footage 👌 That looks like a cushy dialed in setup... with leaf springs!
Having followed Trail Mater for some time, it is only now that I see that Trail Mater is a manual shift. Rory, how many clutch and pressure plates have you changed over the life of Trail Mater. Trail Mater is genuine ''Old School'' leaf spring, still getting good flex.
The 4Runner equally a good vehicle. Owner must change the front and rear bumpers to give more clearance.
Love the extra effort in different shots!
Big block power!
Rory get a milwaukee m18 battery fan. It's a life saver!
Cooling the wrenches off and setting up the umbrella gave me a chuckle. I’m used to warming the tools up and blocking the wind.🇨🇦
Great video like always,
Gotta love those tera flex bump stops
You got fun videos, thanks for sharing
Sick camera and edit work! Finally a gearhead point of view. Props
I love that Rory, Mike, and Sean seem to be on call constantly, and😢😢😮 Rory seems to have EVERYTHING loaded on his Tow Truck.
This is my favorite channel on CZcams, and they have made incredible improvements since the almost silent movies timeframe…. Keep up the great content guys…
The customer learned a lesson and the viewers also. Thanks Guys.
Thanks for another great video. 👍😎
Another great video. Lone the undercarriage camera work.
Trail Mater gets a workout and takes it in stride. You own a masterful rig and your driving skills complement it well. You, Mike a Mater make a great team.
The umbrella trick works! I work in the hvac industry and always use one on rooftops. Helps a lot. Good job Mike on the camera shots and nice job Rory on the repair. You are the man! Those independent suspensions are as durable as a solid axle generally speaking. All can break thats for sure. Thanks for keeping it real Rory.
@1:04 look at the roostertail of dust from the driverside rear tire, pure power
Great camera work. That's some kinda bad ass suspension. Rory knows those trails like the back of his hand.
Great shots on the trip in - especially liked the synchronized footwork and crawling.
Rory, yet again another fantastic video and repair job. Thanks to Mike for the roll over camera shot of the undercarriage of TrailMator. Thanks for being you and sharing your adventures.
The different camera shots especially the under carriage and foot work shots are excellent. The content has always been great, but now the camera and editing are the best out there. Well at least the channels I watch.
Wow, 'ol trailmater sounds good!
Love you 2. A blend of mad max, MacGyver and the A-Team
I forgot to mention this yesterday. Your Mater is like a Swiss army knife on wheels . LOL I think that is cool , set up the way you want and need it . I wouldn't be surprised if you and Mike don't pull out a BBQ and a couple of steaks . LOL HAVE A GREAT DAY GUYS, YOUR AWESOME.
Terry
Loving the views of Mater's undercarriage. Rory, you make it look easy, but it's obvious how much is involved in every rescue you do. Mike does an excellent job and seems to pre-empt your every move. You both have great humour (humor?) and every video is a joy to watch. Long may you prosper.
no drama needed , i rather like watching your channel more than the others tbh
Those cameras angles are intense. Love seeing all the components at work. I know it's been said before, but now I need to watch Matt's videos just to cool off and de-stress😅
Amazing Rory. Trail Mater has everything. I'm waiting on the video where you pull up to a customer and open up a taco bar while you fix their car. Thanks for sharing!
You are killing it, Rory.
Smart move to chop the shaft & leave the ends in place to keep oil from leaking.
Loved the shot of you feathering the clutch. Nice to see all the work you actually have to put into the off roading. Makes you realize it’s not as easy as it looks from the outside.
"If it's leaking you know it still has fluid in it" said every British bike owner ever. Nice job Rory and Mike.
Same goes for Harleys
Lol , and every Land Rover owner
I own Corvairs. Same thing here.
same goes for helicopters
"Ain't no oil under it, ain't no oil in it"
Really enjoyed seeing the rock crawling suspension at work.
Part of me was hoping the umbrella was raised and lowered, installed and uninstalled, stored and removed from storage with a 3/4 inch wrench! Absolutely love the ingenuity used to stay cooler when working on cars in the hot sun! Thanks again Rory for taking us out on the trail and giving us just a glimpse at the hard work you do in such a beautiful workplace!
I enjoy the all the undercarriage, suspension, driveline and trail shots. Keep em' coming!
Wow, I can't believe how dedicated to his job Mike is. Hanging off the bed of the truck to get those great undercarriage shots! lol Seriously though the videography is just getting better all the time. (Not saying it wasn't good before but always improving)
Great shots in this one! I always have an extra tarp to create shade in case trail repairs are needed. Good in the sun and rain.
Wow love the unique camera footage that's awesome .
we use the umbrellas as well doing asphalt work It's literally a lifesaver Thanks for sharing another great video
"I'm Mary Poppins y'all!" I love the the little outtakes at the end of each video.
Hey that's the 4runner you was telling me about lol. Thanks again for the repair on the 80 and for the conversation.
Love all the undercarriage angles. It wouldn’t surprise me if you eventually stuck a camera in the engine bay, lol. Great work as always.
Rory, Mike And Mater.
Excellent Camera Shots, Skills To Fix Any Problem, Telent To Make A Very Interesting Videos.
Great To See All The Amazing Comments On This Channel ! 😉🚙
Rory, Toyota guy here. Depending on the "over" width of that LT kit by Total Chaos, more than likely those are actually Tundra/Sequoia axles that alleviate the CV angle problem you described. If those were stock arms I "might" agree with you. Toyota sway bar limits the suspension to about 5 or so inches of usable travel. Without sway bar connected it's 7 or 8.
Btw! Love those camera angles of your truck working. Especially the bump stop shots! Fuck yea!!!!!!!!!
Love your camera shots
I can't imagine the number of miles you guys have on those trails. I really appreciate the effort Mike puts in to the camera angles and 'constant' attention to what's going on to get it captured!
It is a lot of fun to watch Rory and Mike run thee truck and trails, then work together to repair a broken rig quickly and efficiently.
Thank you for taking us along and doing such good work.
Flamin incredible Rory/Mike...the level of know-how, experience and just plain savvy to effect trail mandated fixes is outa this world. I don't believe there'll be more than 5 or 10 blokes in the country that could bring to the table what you do, or more importantly, if they do, could they do it with the same flair, speed and economy that you display. Respect...much respect!
Nice recovery Rory, that umbrella is slick
Best camera work ever on the workings of the suspension.....air bags, shock, leaf, hydraulic bump stops, limiter straps and some fancy foot work.....awesome stuff guys!!!
Just too make sure it gets back to where it came from no matter what it is Rory will do the honor to get back safely 👍🙌
This is what happens when you send a Toyota to do a Jeeps job. Love the video, keep up the good work Rory!
Love the camera work with the suspension on the drive in. Awesome to watch.
Cool camera shots under the wrecker, I thought it was jailbreaks forerunner for a second
Ride in was straight up Mad Max. Old Wrecker Rules !
Never seen you treat Mater like a rented mule before. That’s one good truck.
man the views and scenery just doing your job is amazing, jealous. Love the mater vids!!
Another great field repair, and video !!!
I hope you had a sway bar to reinstall. Another trip on the rocks could lead to more destruction. Still great to have you guys there to help all that are unlucky enough to break on the trail.
I haven’t run a sway bar in 40 years
A pair of straps as limiters may be the better solution for someone who wants independent movement, just not too far.
Those frame mounted camera chassis shots are suspenseful enough for their own video!!!
Lesson of the day, if you are going to remove the sway bar, make sure you put straps on to keep from over extending. At least it looks like they have "some" upgrades on it. It was cool hearing Mater running at higher RPM's. Sounded mean over the sound system
Even with the updated rigs that Paul and Matt are putting together, my money is still on you for the tow-truck Olympics! 👍
What a team! Love watching talent and ingenuity.
shots of under carriage was fav part of video ty so much ,its rare
dude mike's having a good old time, he brings good energy
All the comforts of home. You lacked an easy chair to go with the umbrella. I see the wrecker has to have a little tender care - leaks can lead to major repairs. Sure takes a beating and keeps on ticking.
Trophy Mater making an appearance there in the beginning.
if there was ever a trophy for best purpose build truck trail mater has to be at the top of the list.
Great scenic drive to the recovery site. Great off road repair. Yeah, too back he didn’t say the other side was broken. On to the next. 🤙😎
Excellent trial repair for a customer with more money than brains! I loved the camera shots of your suspension!!!!
As always a great adventure!
My life’s simple. I see Trail Mater videos and I smash the 💥👍🏽🆙
Look at you guys with the pedal box camera! You keep reading comments and taking suggestions and you're in danger of becoming my favorite youtube channel.
Whenever I see Trail Mater just camber over utterly bonkers rocks & articulate itself like that it makes me happier. It looks crazy, but it does the impossible every day. What a wonderful machine.
