Carrying A Ranger Out Of Lockhart Basin

[@tomcat1415]

As a fan of several recovery channels, I see why Rory and his crew are the go to guys.👌

[@Steelegotcha]

There is no one on you tube that takes it to the limit that he and his crew does. He literally lives life on the edge everyday. The addrenilan has to be awesome.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

@@Steelegotcha out of all of the channels that I subscribe to pertaining to off-road recovery, This is my favorite number one channel. This channel deserves to have 1 million subscribers. By-Far!! And I do everything I can to drive traffic to this website. By posting Rory’s videos on Facebook.

[@AJNpa80]

Could be wrong but seems he's been doing this and this specifically before he recorded it, before sponsors and outside recognition. Fishing people out of the rocks with American pushrods, leafsprings, hammers and stick welds. Some of the others I follow came to it from other fields in the past couple years, on road tow, heavy equipment recovery, body shop, one was even TV famous. I enjoy them all for different reasons and they're all different. Though Rory and Co. do some of the most difficult things, they do it on the daily, as ever, and to me at least it's more familiar to my life (though I don't do super hero stuff with my truck much). I love that it is all pig iron, cutting torch and possible to wrap your head around. When I price some of the stuff I see on some of the channels I'm like damn. Rorys stuff is capable and custom but a dreamer could see themselves heading to the pull and pick and getting started. Hope there's still enough of these old trucks kicking around to keep it going another couple decades. At least the diesels you could work on without a degree have seen a lot of inflation. Just fun people in 4x4 parts mecca doing things we wish we could, but not with stuff we couldn't dream of affording or risking damage to. (I know it ain't all cheap but you know what I'm saying) These guys are the real deal.

Hands down my favorite off road recovery team!! Shawn and Mike are the best sidekicks on the tube!!

[@VentureUnknown]

I want to thank you for rescueing one of our team members from Lockhart Basin. Its a doozy of a distance for sure. You did a fine job and was grateful for you service.

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

12:13 😆 That was gangster, Shawn!!!

[@ggalland1]

Ole Blue is a workhorse for sure. Great recovery guys thank you for sharing

[@MrCyphermonkey]

Used to watch a few off road recovery channels that are liked to this one. Now trail mater is the only one I still watch.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Ol Blue has some serious torque and traction! Matt would be proud of the gas situation haha

[@KerboOnYT]

This recovery is a great example of why you want that big block torque. Nice job guys!

[@deandennis2838]

I love the lack of ‘cuss’ words. Even if they’re edited out. Thank you!!

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

Fab Rats is good for some pretty funny non-swears too, and if any of them has a foul mouth and gets bleeped, its Grandma Lolli. 😅

[@TheImmortalsCa]

Hope you guys never change or change the dynamic in the show. Some of the other channels seem to have gone more Hollywood and not the same. Keep up the awesome work.

[@EMA-uk5ob]

Rory did go Hollywood. He got new teeth.

[@TheImmortalsCa]

@@EMA-uk5ob I believe he posted about it. Medical related. In any case, whatever the reason, that is hardly “gone Hollywood” in my opinion.

[@quicksilver8180]

Yeah I agree, some of the other channels that have gone full reality TV style has me feeling a little YELLOW about it.

[@scottnelson1713]

Last week on the White Rim Trail I met the group that the ranger was traveling with. When I asked them if they had broken anything yet, they told me about the red Ranger. I knew this video was coming. Those guys drove from the east coast to drive a bunch of Moab stuff. That's cool that you had a job just right for the blue tow truck. I love your videos, and this one didn't disappoint.

[@VentureUnknown]

Where'd did we see you? We all are back home safe and sound. 17 days of straight adventure. We hated leaving.

[@scottnelson1713]

@@VentureUnknown Dark red 2-door Bronco, you guys were on the western half around one of the bathrooms on Thursday afternoon.

[@VentureUnknown]

@@scottnelson1713 oh yea. I remember. It was a pleasure to meet you.

[@guyderagisch4964]

It's amazing how capable a basically stock square body is. And it's a shame GM hasn't made something like it since.

[@scottwilliams7881]

I will never understand why GM abandoned a solid front axle in favor of IFS, sad that chevy guys have to buy something else in order to get a solid front axle

[@jmo2640]

I think we all need a Mike and a Shawn narrating our life’s, with a side of Rory wisdom every so often 😂

[@janasunnarborg8525]

You guys make these recoveries from unbelievably difficult locations look like its all in a days work. Always amazing to watch.

[@isleno101]

The Utah Office of Tourism should really be paying you guys for the awesome job you do of promoting the rugged beauty of your state. The scenery shots are amazing on top of the fact that you make what you do for a living so interesting and fun to watch. Many thanks to all of you including the editor. Great job.

[@deandennis2838]

Much respect to Rory and his crew. Y’all respect the land and have a great time doing it. !!!!

[@albertorozco5981]

Thats something that people dont apreciate...the amount of hours you guys put in and wihout lunch on these recoveries. Stay safe guys. Geat video.

[@OldGlaseye-gf7si]

I have an idea..pack a lunch....(?)....It's not like they don't know where they are goin'.

[@albertorozco5981]

@@duder9752 good for you 👍

[@kna60]

On the technical side, it's probably easy to impress an ignorant like me, but I'm always impressed by the torque and traction of your rigs in difficult terrain. Great video once again, and I never tire of the sound of Blue 😻.

[@tabranch3165]

🙋🏼‍♂️ The best photography on u tube 🕺🏻

[@williamglaser6577]

Thanks for keeping it real and no crappy music. The towbill on some of there recoverys must equal the worth of the vehicle.

[@1yamawai1]

come for the recovery, stay for the scenery. respect to all

[@shorebuck8]

dude you guys just have the right attitude, it really brightens my day and depression fades away watching you guys just living life.❤

[@michaeldye4318]

Rory, you never cease to amaze me with your driving skills while towing on those rough trails. So elegant!

[@DeeRebel44]

Big thank you to Rory and his crew for picking up after people who just don't seem to know any better. Look like a pretty good recovery for Blue. Great video! Great watching you guys!

[@shades3388]

There were SO many times I clenched fearing that bar was gonna fold up...I can't even imagine how many times it could have that were edited out. Slow and steady with immense expertise picking the 'perfect' line. GREAT JOB Team TrailMater!

[@davidfarmer1666]

The rear bumper on Blue is amazing and the way you cut the box sides is perfect. I hadn't noticed the the way the box, fenders, and bumper all fit so well. It's like a smooth flow together of the three pieces. Rory designed that whole rearend to perfection. No areas where the tow vehicle is going to damage Blue. Then the setup so that the tow vehicle isn't going to damage Blue. Great filming which shows the two vehicles together and how Blue tackles the rocks

[@travisbohannontboogleplano6751]

As usual, great teamwork! Blue did a great job handling some pretty rough terrain, but it is because of Rory's driving skill. And Mike, once again, great shots of the surrounding scenery to allow those of us not in Utah to appreciate the beauty of your area. Shawn, you always make me laugh with your laugh! Glad you all work together so well. It's so much fun to ride along with you.

[@norcalray7182]

Old BLUE was doing WORK...SWEET

[@paulhall170]

Most KZbin car-related shows are about power; Rory and the boys show that torque is king! Ol' Blue is even more capable now he's got lockers!

I've been following you bandits for a long time and enjoy all the backyard mechanics and adventures. But what really is impressive is the love and respect for the areas and picking up others trash!

[@scottmcclenaghan3236]

Old blue sounds awesome

[@gzrgldr8288]

I love Lockhart Canyon. Good choice going in the way you did, although it took a lot longer. The other side of that canyon on the Chicken Corners side would have been tough to get that truck out without damage. I don't think ol Blue would have made it through the v-notch area without some side panel damage. It is definitely out in the middle of nowhere, which is one of the reasons I like it. Usually plan a two day trip and camp in the middle somewhere. The stars at night are absolutely incredible out there.

[@c0o0cumber]

I love mikes commentary about the snack situation and the hamburger rocks😂
