Couple Recoveries With Mini-Mater

[@georgejulien3286]

This just shows how brutally efficient Rory is. Some of these other Utah guys would’ve made 150 episodes over 6 months do build that unit and he did it in what, 2-3? Mint.

[@phatdaddy1955]

Totally agree!

[@mfrsr]

definitely. it's like he's said before - the videos are showing us what his work involves, he doesn't invent content for views....and we all appreciate him for it. this truck is a perfect example of that.

[@Dan_Neely]

Those channels are as much or more about fab than they are about recovery. 😂😂 I am curious how much more work Rory will do after Matt's event when he's no longer limited by the rules. I haven't seen them, but "Jalopy Jeep" doesn't sound like a massively upgraded class. 🤔

[@masterbates7016]

And it's like perfect

[@graememckay9972]

The only one we've seen him take a long time with is the AA wrecker for Robbie Layton.

[@johny3barr]

If it's a Mini Mater, Then Does that make it a "Mater-Tott" ???

[@tedecker3792]

MaterTot it is!

[@beaverc2884]

I like it. 👍👍

[@RobB-z8o]

That was good 😂

[@jcar1417]

Perfect

Lol “ BABY BOOMER”

[@robinjames4334]

I'm impressed with mini-mater! Don't pay so much attention to the naysayers, Rory. Yours is one of the best sites out there. I have been following you for years and and I always enjoy your content. Keep plugging along guys

[@sufferinsuccotash556]

Mini Mater is already a big hit. Need to add chain steps to make it official. You guys “rock”! Literally. Keep it up y’all are awesome!

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

Audience: "How many recovery rigs do you need?" Rory: "YES" Keep up the great work. I love your content 👍🔥

[@mickeydevey834]

The more the merrier!

[@jterpenning]

All of them.

[@briannichols1586]

It's simple math. N = the number of rigs you have and therefore N +1 = the number of rigs you need.

[@deanhueter2866]

Only one at a time 😂

[@kenmurray4232]

Mini Mater really seems to be doing the job. Anybody that has been watching knows that your goal is NO damage to a customers vehicle. When a power steering pump cuts lose, real bad things happen under the hood. Nice recoveries, Thanks for Sharing

[@chrisvancampen6706]

That Mini Mater is gonna be, by far, the coolest build at the Off Road Games.

[@TassyDeval]

Shouldn't have given the others a heads up.

[@scuss2]

3 years in a row, best entertainment for the beginning of Spring every year.

[@scuss2]

@@TassyDeval The "others" are still building theirs. Rory is already showing his actually works.

[@Zekespeaks]

It amazes me what you ask your rigs to do, and amazes me more that your rigs just say "roger that" and do it. I love your content!

[@scuss2]

It's the driver skills that make it happen.

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

@@scuss2 I was impressed with Rory's control over the throttle when he had trouble making that climb. He would attempt the obstacle with lots of throttle, but when he field and it slid back he would let off immediately so when the rears bounced back down they weren't still spinning. See 13:48, but there are numerous examples while he was attempting that climb. There was lots of risk of snapping a rear axle shaft in this case, but Rory knows the limits of the equipment and how to prevent breakage. And he seems to not let his frustration get the better of him.

[@cindydoug]

We LOVE Mini Mater ❤❤❤❤

[@freeidaho-videos]

MiniMater sure came together quickly. Everyone and his dog has a tubing bender, but Rory, you are an artist with one. The fit and finish you attained on this build, and Robby's wrecker are amazing.

[@scuss2]

Mike was dayum good at his tubing skills!

[@bjdukes743]

I’m pretty impressed with that little bugger!!

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

I can only imagine how fresh and clean the dessert must smell after a rain/snow storm which you experienced during the white jeep recovery.... Your so very fortunate to be able to do your work in such a beautiful country.... My uncle had a sheep ranch in a high dessert area of South East Idaho.... I was there a few times when it rained and I have my memories....

[@scuss2]

I would also think that Rory's "desert" would smell better than a Sheep Ranch, but there is beauty all over the USA!

[@jordantrujillo293]

Y’all are impressive and I love watching y’all’s recoveries. That JK is honestly impressive!

[@judih.8754]

Really digging that Plexiglass roof panel. Lots of light in the truck cabin. I hope it won't be too hot in the summer. The beautiful vista's in the sunlight give way to ominous wet, slippery obstacles in this damp weather. Trail Mater mini is keeping it real.

[@svinevitable]

Snap on a Sunbrella Cloth cover in the summer!

[@will.green.]

@@svinevitable um whats a sunbrella?

[@scuss2]

@@will.green. Sunshade fabric. Rory could buy a couple of grommet kits from Harbor Freight and make it so one could be tied down. to the roof.

[@donlum9128]

Mini Mater is an extremely excellent addition to your recovery fleet. Take Care be safe.

[@xeontis]

I'd totally build a Mini-Mater if I had the skills. Not that I have a use for one but it's quickly becoming my favorite mini wrecker.

[@stevenjacobson8177]

So cool

[@gregorholmes1837]

Or you could come up with your own ideas to not build

[@xeontis]

@@gregorholmes1837 how about i just leave it as a compliment to the creator of the machine.

[@2Duggy]

17:00. Stunning waterfalls! Nice videography! Thanks for sharing! Again! ❤

[@RIDGERUNNER3174]

Mini Mater is so freaking cool. I love how it turned out looking like an extended cab.

[@ChristisKing117]

A good old fashioned drag out. Those are always my favorite.

[@garyinman5400]

That is a great little tow rig, thw size is not going to do what a full size rig can but is still doing a lot. Love mini Mater can't wait to see more.

[@pauljohnstone4723]

What a great team. You decide to build a smaller tow truck. So before we can blink, you build it and it works. Other channels say they are going to build something amazing and 2 years later they have not got past deciding what brand of tyres to use.

[@jcar1417]

Because Rory designs for go not for show, but it still looks good in the end because form follow functions and when Rory makes it ,all the angles just seem right.

[@will.green.]

sounds like youre wasting your time watching those channels

[@donhappel9566]

That's easy - they use the tire the sponsor provides then tell you it's the best tire ever. Yeah, I'm looking at you Pattie....

[@galeng73]

To be fair, they never did finish the OnX challenge build.

[@jcar1417]

@@pauljohnstone4723 I believe the major difference is Rory is a recovery guy who does KZbin, as opposed to a KZbinr who does recoveries. One needs equipment that works so he can make money, the others make money by showing you the equipment that they are building.

[@Carcrackers]

Sean is all “oh yeah” as the locked up diff pops free all we need to hear is a “mint” to top it off!!!! Had me rolling

[@brockryan3405]

I look forward to seeing Rory's amazing problem solving skills cope with this awesome new little light wrecker and it's limits. May the Force be with my Earthly Jedi hero.

[@will.green.]

i dont think he will push it past its limits. hes got larger tow trucks. he'll prob use it for side by sides and on trails that the dulys wont fit

[@skyepilotte11]

Great recovery under those conditions...Mini Mater got er done... Beutiful job Rory and Mike.

[@bobgrier3103]

I think I’m liking Mini Mater. A bit of tweaking and fine tuning I know you’ll do, and it will be a welcome addition to the fleet. It performed well considering the wet surfaces. I’m impressed. Mike ought to have biceps as big as Arnold’s with all the unaided steering he has to do on rescues.

[@richardthomas1743]

Good afternoon Rory , Mike and Shawn! And of course thumbs UP!!!

[@paulcooper9135]

For a smaller lighter rig, Mini Mater is very capable! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@brianschmidt2747]

I love the build. I love the end result. Rory, you have an amazing mind. Your talents are boundless .

[@TrailTime.]

The red mud really looks good on the mini wrecker. Definitely giving Mater vibes!

[@sgtayl221]

Well done fellas, another excellent recovery vehicle added to the fleet 👍

[@stratobungle]

I flat-out LOVE the new Lil' Tugger! Granted, there's gonna be times when another of Rory's rigs will be the better choice, but it's really nifty. Really like the tube work, the fenders, and the panels! Can't believe how quick the guys threw it together. Perfect for narrower trails and lighter weight recoveries...😉👍

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

It still amazes me how you can pull another Jeep up a wet slippery slope. Your smoothness and experience go a long way. Like the new Mater Tot. Nice to have a smaller vehicle to go after those side by sides.

[@dalliance2]

What a great asset to the fleet, fits the bill, more flexibility to the operation. Tight tracks no problem Well done Rory and team

[@leroyll1144]

You guys built the coolest looking & functioning Rigs in Moab . Keep em coming.!+!!!!

Great video, two recovery’s with the new Mini Mater.

[@burridge911]

Great job guys! That was a fun video!

[@billhayes8526]

Mini-Mater is baddass. If it wasn't for serpentine belts, you might have been able to remove the one for the pump and Mike would had better braking. Nice job guys!

[@bripslag]

The Internet: Yer doin' it wrong! Rory: You're welcome to come up here and do it. 😉 I'm torn between 'Mini Mater' or 'Mater Tot'. Both are solid names. 👍🏼And like others have mentioned, I appreciate that Rory and the Boys didn't turn the build into a months-long extravaganza.

[@jeffmosley4043]

Mini-Mater to the rescue. Love it. Great job guy's. Best recovery team in Moab. Love the channel and all you guy's do.

[@homegrownson]

Just insulate the Frame near your head withfoam tubing like used to insulate pipes and will reduce Hum in Frame and keep you from adding more lumps when hit bumps

[@annsecrest9794]

Neon green pool noodles!

less bumps more humps. lumps are for chumps

REALLY great job on those fenders.

[@Jan-pw4po]

Great looking and functional wrecker

[@KB-gh9ue]

Mini Mater looks good! As a fabricator myself, I've always used 2" solid square for my hitches. Cut an angle on the end, bend a piece of 3/4" flat bar to accommodate any drop you need welded on the end. The solid square has tighter tolerances to fit the receiver.... resulting in virtually no noise. Keep it up guys!!

Mini mater is a good name for that jeep.

[@michaelenewold9225]

MiniMater is truly COOL! I'm sure you've heard this a gazillion times but, i think you should invest in head set communication because of how often you pull a rig that way. Great job guys, love the scenery even when it's inclement weather!

My roll bar quit singing when I filled it with spray foam.

[@michaelrobbins9679]

Add three thumbs up on this!

[@Ganiscol]

I was going to suggest that as well, but with the caveat that welding on a foam filled cage later, will be exceedingly horrible mess 😅 But alas, filling it with sand - the even better option to deaden singing tubes - is not viable on a vehicle 😉

I wouldn't call towing it out as easy, and that is why you get paid the "Big Bucks!" Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@davidholloway6938]

Just telling my wife Rory is in my opinion the best off road drive I have seen. I love some of the other KZbinrs I watch, but I have seen Rorry drive places I would never be able to rid. He would scare me to death. One of my bucket list items would be able to need him and him take me for a ride on some less crazy places he goes.

Maybe a new revenue stream for the team? Ride-alongs!

[@1ltlbrnc]

Whenever I tow with a unibody vehicle that Hitch clunk drives me batty! They make a clamp that you can put on the hitch and you tighten down with a one wrench that rolls them all 3/4 in! It clamps the hitch shaft tight to the bottom of the receiver opening. It takes all the chatter out of the hitch and makes it a lot more peaceful! I'm sure you can make one or buy one for 20 bucks but it might help without annoyance. Love the Minnie mater! Can't wait to see what It can do!

[@mfrsr]

same here, it really messes with my OCD 😂 ...but me being me, I tend towards the cheapest fix. and turns out 3 wraps of insulation tape lasts nearly a year before it rubs through enough to warrant reapplying. also makes it much easier to take out when there's a bit of dirt or rust packed in the gap.

[@ggalland1]

I really like Mini Mater. Think it looks cool and appears to work just fine! Great recoveries and thank you for sharing

[@connorclark8541]

You could try using the boom to put pressure of the hitch to stop the clanking

[@patbullard9276]

Ya learn something new everyday. I thought that the grip going up the rocks would be from dry tires creating friction on dry rocks. I really didn’t expect to see Mini Mater climb up those wet slick rocks. Watching Trail Mater videos I always have to be prepared to be amazed.

You guys did it the right way. The Mini Mater proved itself properly. You can hear the locker. It works. It's a cool rig. I would love it without the boom and insert bed sides and floor... be an awesome hunting rig to haul my quad atv. Probably wouldn't need to use the quad as much, that's ok. It's cool. You could use a radio headset, lol... Beautiful country there. I would love to have the capability, but I wouldn't use it. Don't want to break it, lol. 😎👍
