Another Broken Raptor

I got a call while I was in junction picking up Lilli about a Ford Raptor stuck at the bottom of Hells Gate. Make ran out to see how bad the situation was and if he could pull them out. Turns out it was way worse than the customer had stated. So he just gave them a ride out and back to their motel. The next morning we decided to go in with more rigs and more people. We got him out of the Gate and up to the main trail. Then we hauled him back to the parking lot so they could get it hauled to a repair shop. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Lily will have her own recovery rig before we know it. She always adds an extra smile to the videos.

[@thelastamx]

She'll have one before Robbie 😂

[@mooshaker]

Imagine...a Pink TrailMater

[@stephenabril7084]

She will have a Pink Trailmater.

[@1tulip]

Maybe she will have some glasses or goggles some day too.

[@jdfmfb03]

EXACTLY RORY take care of your daughter!!

[@jimmylove6153]

Love the after bits. Y'all do realize that once she can reach the pedal's, and Lilly performs her first recovery. It's gonna break the Internet.

[@davestevens4263]

I’m ready for it , it’s gonna be a great day . Rock on lily !

[@rudiekeyser2495]

True words 🎉😂❤

[@ljprep6250]

I can't wait to see what kind of rip-snortin', rock-crawlin', tow truckin' beastie Rory builds for her when she's of age!

[@phatdaddy1955]

Trailmater...is a beast!!! And Lilly? She's gonna take over some day! Great vid and peace out!!

[@DB-yj3qc]

She will probably take driver's education teacher out to hells revenge then drive up it backwards 🙂

[@seanhorton3811]

Always enjoy when Boss Lady is on a recovery. Her smile lights up the video.

[@donsalladin2935]

I can tell your daughter loves being out on the trail with her daddy :)

[@Steve-od6hi]

And she is quite at peace knowing her Dad is in full control. (for good reason)

[@mlsargent51]

Hard to imagine out in the desert, with nothing around, and still draw a crowd to watch you guys, but there they are :)

[@415s30]

Unfortunately there are plenty of people out there.

[@thelonewrangler1008]

This isn't the middle of nowhere, it's the largest off roading area in the country and it's overcrowded if you ask a local.

[@mlsargent51]

@@thelonewrangler1008 I understand, it's the appearance that there is nothing out there. But I didn't know it was the largest area. Appreciate the info!!

[@jeeperp3926]

$100K for a truck that can’t do crap.

[@MacGyver2154]

​@@jeeperp39262010 Raptors were affordable at 40 - 50 K

[@QuidproMoto]

I always appreciate the wide shots mike gets! Nice job from the Trailmater director of photography

[@damonmcnab5588]

Figured Chevy pulling out a. Ford lol Awesome recovery Rory Shawn and Mike

[@OpieDogie]

Oh, I thought that the bar on the passenger side was a “jeez handle” but now I see what it was welded on there for . . . a back pack holder for Lily.

[@DeeRebel44]

Tell Lilly it is always good to see her out with Dad!!! Another great recovery. You always figure it out and always get it done. Thanks for what you do. Have a great day!.

[@nutronik9]

One of the highlights of my Moab trip was catching this rescue in person.

[@nsbhagwat]

We would love to see your version of this recovery. Please upload it to YT.

[@nutronik9]

​@@nsbhagwatI don't have a video of this, but if you pause at 13:43, and zoom in on the truck in the distance over the passenger headlight, that's my black gladiator over there

[@terrypen]

I'm kind of impressed that the Raptor leaned over on it's side and didn't scratch anything... must have been pretty close!

[@mh-im2kq]

That's the way to raise your kids.. involve them.. make them fearless.. let them enjoy things from an early age.. thank you trail mater for being an example.. 😊

[@timgoodwin7566]

Absolutely love every time when Lily is out with you Rory. Her smile is so infectious 😂😂

[@desertdweller4951]

I always smile when I see Lilly😊 It's infectious, huh Rory. Great recovery guy's, as always. Thank you for sharingthe adventure.

[@Kiki-Kauai]

That was no simple recovery! Impressive. Always good to see lovely little Lilly helping dad. Such a sweet disposition. 🌺

[@woody4u247]

Rory's daughter could use a set of ski goggles or sunglasses with the foam around the lenses to keep the wind/dust out of her eyes... But... Just like Rory, she didn't complain.. she soldiered on :) Let's take a second to recognize Rory's Masterful clutch work... about 15:25 or so... he's going up a STEEP grade, with a boat anchor pulling back... and Rory masterfully start off without rolling back & without over revving or slippin' the **** out of his clutch!... Well done... Think about it.. all the videos TrailMater has done, all this steep climbs, heavy pulls etc.... How many Clutches has he replaced? I don't remember any? I THINK.... one was swapped out, not because it was burnt, but because the tranny had to come out for something else, and it'd be foolish NOT to since it's apart.... But Rory has got mad skills on so many levels. Respect

[@lornemarr]

Listening to Rory work that big block low end torque gives me great pleasure.

[@cactustweeter2890]

Rory, it's always great to see Lily with you. You're creating memories she will cherish for the rest of her life.

[@cliffmorain7215]

Gotta love a big block, wow again trail mater proves to be the Boss!!!

[@frankfilippone9679]

Really needed this video today, went downstairs this morning and the hot water heater had exploded, flooded the basement, what a pain in the ass! We ain't rich people, hell we're just barely hanging in, but as most Americans, we get through hard times the best we can! We just keep on trucking, just like the mighty Trail Mater 💪 TY guys + Lilly for another uplifting great video ❤ #GODBLESSAMERICA

[@shawnmason5290]

Route report it to your homeowners insurance company. Since it was “sudden” flooding from an explosion most likely I would think it’s covered. Don’t know for sure.

[@frankfilippone9679]

@shawnmason5290 TY, I'm not to sure either? My brother is the actual owner, I know he dished out almost 2 grand with parts and labor, I'm still sucking up water with the shop vac , it's a freaking mess down there, we live on Long Island NY, so it's flooded before, yes we all live at sea level on the NY islands and everyone is shocked when we flood 😆 After my dad died 3 years ago, they cut his pension dramatically, my disabled mother has to work, although she loves her job and her box of wine 🍷 But living here in NY is ridiculously expensive! You wouldn't believe it, we have what used to be a summer bungalow, from most likely around the early 50s , and it's small, and it's worth a few hundred thousand, upstate NY, it would be less than half, property taxes are insane! My body is destroyed from so many years of busting my ass working building rich A-Holes houses , I wish we could move somewhere cheaper, but Mom won't leave, and she's at the point where she can't live completely on her own, you know, life , I'm starting to realize, my life sounds like a country song ,thanks for the comment and I've noticed it's getting some attention, TG people still care about their fellow Americans, I know I do

[@mattbalik2585]

Rory, Mike and Sean, your expertise makes these difficult recoveries look so easy. Another difficult job well done!!

[@olehickoryoutdoors6815]

Lilly loves her job you guys have become my favorite channel to watch mike must be in great shape to do all the walking he does keep those videos coming 😂

[@lcguitars2393]

How to make a Raptor perform off road. Step 1: attach it to the back of Trail Matter.

[@kenmurray4232]

Nice recovery. Always nice to see Lillie out for some Dad time. Thanks for sharing

[@ewood88]

Great recovery by the crew. Going up one of the steepest parts, Lily casually reaches in her backpack, probably for some snacks, like nothing is happening 😂

[@electrontube]

that little girl has probably done more hard wheeling as a passenger than most adults who are into off-road driving

[@MC-re2ry]

You just can't tell how good Rory is until you see how good Rory is for the 40th or 50th time.

[@bigunone]

Can you imagine the stories Lilly tell the other kids about her summer vacation with dad, and the rest of the team!

[@ianscott9396]

Once again the camera man is the unsung hero!

[@Kiki-Kauai]

He certainly does a lot of walking/ climbing. Mike is awesome.

[@Hat6000]

The charming Lilly spending some quality time with Dad. Another tricky but successful extraction and the usual spectacular scenery.

[@ggalland1]

Mater is a BEAST! No denying it! Great recovery!! Hopy you had a great weekend with Lilli

[@Zircon_215]

Always something different. Never a dull moment on this channel! Mike has done a fabulous job … as usual!

[@mustafayildiz563]

hello to every one

[@donalddarbonne779]

Even 6 BFG'S have a traction limit. Lol.

[@loose-arrow-garage]

Another great recovery. Mike, thanks for showing us your smashed thumb there at the end. It looks like it'll be about a year before the new nail completely grows!

[@clivehorridge]

That’s if he didn’t damage the nail-bed. I did similar to my ring finger nail when I was 14, and I’m 70 now, and the nail still grows in 2 halves, side-by-side. ❤️🇷🇴

[@kcreeves199]

I appreciate the customer being on the video and admitting what he did and didn't do. You don't see that too often.

[@lanesworld4000]

" It's much worse than the customer said." Rich people problems. I broke my Raptor dude 😂 Good grief. Keeping Rory in business.

[@Sebastopolmark]

The customer did a good job on the brakes and that was an expensive repair! !! !!!

[@davebenson1504]

Lilli is becoming fearless riding those trails with Daddy 🙂 Excellent lesson in strap/cable length and retrieving ability/skills... 🙂 Trail Monster to the rescue 🙂 amazing that those wheels did hold on... 🙃 Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@MCTheWandz]

Proof once again that Raptors were not created to rock crawl... Nice work fellas!

[@2nickles647]

[@jerrybauman6927]

I hope I'm around and your channel are around long enough to see Lily start driving off road. I can't imagine the confidence and ability she will have. Now that's goin' to be fun to watch!

[@billmorton6977]

Very very impressed with y'alls ability to recover broken rigs from the worst of places. Well done Well done

[@billbillinger2491]

Trail Mater is an absolute low RPM Torque Monster!!💪

[@trebornoslo1951]

Aint nuthin like a Big Block Chev for low end grunt. Trail Mater churns all 6 of them just off idle!

[@harveystephens6115]

Lily needs a cam for some special footage shots! What a sweetie!!!!! Always smiling! Dad ya gotta be proud! Oh nice recovery!

[@lory2622]

14:46… the sound of Mike panicking…. “Ey ey ey ey”. A calm fellow.

[@papatomsthoughts]

Love Lilly just eating her snack as trailmater bounces all over, taking in the sights, not a worry 8n the world. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@61rampy65]

Looks like Mike's thumb has healed enough to hitchhike. Another great TrailMater video!

[@paulhall170]

It's a tribute to Rory's design and construction skills that a recovery like that can be done in what looks like impossible conditions. Trail Mater is rough-looking, but it's perfectly refined for the tasks to which it is called, and Rory could drive it off the roof of his house and back up again if he needed to, I'm sure. And Mike is a terrific cameraman, a great commentator, and a relentless affirmer of what people are doing; such an encouraging guy to have around!

[@Craig-dq5cu]

Thank you for sharing .I must say again your SOLO outing video a few days ago,was superb.

[@robertanderson5796]

Matt may have the largest off road wrecker, but Trail Mater has it for heart! Won’t be long before Lily will boot you from behind the wheel.

[@Donwrongway]

The sound of the stump puller in trail mater is music to my ears Great recovery

[@lornemarr]

Ya. That music is half the reason I come here. Most of the other half is that no body is going to try to bullshit me. Just difficult work well done by good humoured people who are good at what they do.

[@jasonzwijacz9377]

That raptor climbed flawlessly, just needed a Lil Chevy power😅

[@TheOldaz1]

Good to see Lilli gets a fun day out with another successful recovery.

[@marvincarter870]

Lilly is such a trooper during these recovery's with Rory and the Trail Mater team she stays so cool! So they recovered another Raptor from Hell's Revenge and got it out! Good job and good video Mike! Shawn and Mike really make these videos fun together.

[@shirleyallen6072]

Wow - the power & know how of the Trail Mater team never ceases to amaze me...and our sweet Lily!

[@chad.dhaenens]

15:12 - you got to be kidding me 😅 I've done that climb a couple times and my hair on the back of my neck still stands up. You are pulling a truck up it and get the hops!!! You have ice in your veins! You are awesome! Beyond crazy what you do day in and out!

[@Skiridr22]

Broken Raptor, broken Branco’s makes me appreciate Trail Mater more and my 2000 XJ with its 240+ thousand miles 😊

[@roygotham]

Once again you guys are amazing making that recovery look easy!! Job well done 👍. Thanks for sharing the adventure!

[@jamiegodwin9881]

Rory, I wish I could have my boys see what I do at my work. I envy you taking Lily with you on Your recoveries. She will remember those experiences forever.

[@Krawlergarage]

It is always nice to see Lily on the recovery. She is becoming quite a young lady. I won’t be long and she will have a rig of her own.

[@LaDonnashielded-kc7zm]

Good morning Rory and trail mater team 💚❣️

[@Karengarrett-qz1vv]

Lilli is getting so tall. She looks like all arms and legs.. little cutie.

[@michaelmeyer5347]

Trail Mater, awesome hard working rig !! Crews no slouch either👍🤠👍

[@chrismcdowell5515]

Lilly un fazed as the truck bounces on an obstacle with her hand in her backpack, that's hanging on the grab handle is the best haha!!

[@agentcrm]

That rotor calliper really performed hero duties keeping the axle in that Raptor. Wouldn't have been a fun vehicle to carry out. Lilly is that point where she's growing quickly again. It will be cool to see her driving the trails soon.

[@jkwfo]

that's the only thing that's heavy duty on it , it was anticipated

[@moopurce8973]

Morning from Prescott,Az!

[@ronreith5185]

Great tow ... the towee in the Raptor did a great job of maintaining the right amount of tension

[@michaelcauser474]

Is there any truth in the rumour that the US military have "requested" full detailed drawings/specs on Trail Mater so that they can create their own efficient off road recovery vehicles? Also, the rights to create Lilli clones to ensure they have an efficient supervisor in every vehicle? Do the car companies ever check your channel to see what the weak points in their off road capable vehicles are so that they can improve their products? Seriously, great team work as usual. You are still the first channel I check for new videos every time I turn on KZbin.

[@kevinpeters1596]

Happy to see that you’re taking trash off the trails

[@woodyholland9865]

And Lilli just sits there and enjoys her Dad's driving through amazingly beautiful country.

[@jeffschaller1562]

Love the Tow Trucks low end torque. Nice Throttle, clutch and brake work as always Rory.

[@jonhutchens9770]

Rory has a good attitude and enjoys his job.

[@sgmrock4107]

I was hoping to see the Raptor "Transform" and just walk out! LOL

[@splatterize]

Thanks for the thumb update Mike.

[@lonhoschar1943]

Nice recovery guys!! That poor guy was NOT having a good day! LOL!! He definitely made the right call!! You guys are always great at recovering busted vehicles out of tough situations!!! 😄 Mike you do a great job getting those shots!!

Rory needs to offer trail badges. "Towed off Hell's Gate" or similar

Seeing lots of stuck broken Raptors. Glad I'm a chevy guy.

[@wesman7837]

Trail Mater is a mountain goat!

[@Dave_Smith_1958]

Love to see the Chevy pulling the Ford around 😅

[@freeidaho-videos]

Ya know, y'all are creating your own customers. Stay with me here.... When regular non-off-road-experienced people see the wrecker, scrambler, or buggy doing obstacles in these videos, they always look so easy. Then they go try it, thinking it is easy. Then they get stuck, break, or upside down. So in a way, you are creating customers by being so good at off-road. I know, it is a philosophical point, but it is the weekend, and I'm tired out from weekend fun, so just sitting here watching ya'll doing the hard stuff so easily. Carry on!

[@AdamBrown-fs6wp]

Always enjoy watching videos.. always great seeing lily out on recovery... and for mike and shawn breaking scrambler..this is why we cant have anything nice...lmao.. seemed to be running tho. Cant be bad

[@dougalexander7204]

Lilly, down in the bucket of her seat so comfortable, she made it look like another day at the office. Thank you Rory for teaching her how to live life well.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

Outstanding!! Another, Absolutely outstanding recovery!! TRAILMATER STYLE!! Woo-Hoo!!

[@ohiomoto]

This is impressive on many levels. The customer did a fantastic job handling the tow vehicle. It got dicey for a second or two but he kept it together. You guys made that look easy.

[@paulcost6446]

Awesome recovery, surprised that broken axle stayed in. when my rear axle bearing collapsed on my Holden one tonner just rolling it slightly forward the axle came virtually all the way out the diff.
