Discovered your channel from MORR and I've been watching your content for a few weeks. Couple things I want to say. First I have never seen anyone so " in tune" with their vehicle. The precision that you place tires, how you use the front end to pull that beast through some really tight spots is nothing less than amazing. Second thing, we don't tune in to these videos to hear someone speak eloquently. We watch because it's real world stuff done by people we can relate to so don't worry about saying umm or huh or whatever. You make great videos that are really entertaining and educational. I saw you say something about being a high school dropout, well guess what...you're also a teacher. I'm glad your daughter wasn't with you when this incident happened and that nobody was hurt! Keep doing your thing and we'll keep watching!

Hey Rory, I too discovered your channel through Matt's Offroad Recovery. You Sir, are one of the most HUMBLE human beings, (Next to my WIFE) I have ever had the pleasure of seeing on KZbin! Your attitude and spirit is refreshing compared to many of the self centered "Influencers" that troll KZbin! As a person that has gone "All In" with his career and his family, I recognize that you too have gone all in on this endeavor that you make your living at. Your ability to operate your Recovery Rig at such a high level is an inspiration to us all. As it is with ALL of us in this world, Mistakes will be made, and THIS is where learning takes place! As my dad used to say, "Boy, if you never make a mistake, if you never take a chance, then GLORY will ALWAYS be just out of your reach"! Rory, you provide EXCELLENT content, Period. Your ACTIONS provide the kind of content that I like to watch, much better than ANY words you could say. If I wanted a wordsmith, I'd watch CNN!!! Keep up the good work Sir, and both my wife and I are glad you were NOT injured and the MATER lives again. Earl and Jean Harrell

You're definitely on the right track, Charley. If Rory were to take a couple of moments to remember all those folks that he has dragged out of the rocks over the years he might have an idea of just how many people on the other side of the camera appreciate his dedication and skill with that beat up old wrecker (those aren't dents, they're "character marks!!)! He always has made himself available when he's gotten those phone calls at inconvenient times. He still took himself (and Shawn) away from his "time off" to recover folks from dangerous situations. I don't remember which of the other guys "passed" me along when I found Rory. It was either Matt or Paul, but one of them made a reference to Rory and showed something he was in the middle of. Anyway, I've been watching his work for several months and will be here for as long as Rory keeps doing this. It's all been worth the many hours of video... Thanks, Rory!!

I appreciate the sentimentality that comes with working long and hard on a vehicle. They develop identities and personas. Back in 1984, in the span of about three months, a family member wrecked a '72 Chevelle I was building and a friend totaled my Kawasaki 900 Ninja I had recently purchased. There were some emotional moments following those events and I've always (even now) really missed both vehicles. They were a part of me. Love how you put the truck back together so efficiently and quickly. You are an inspiration.

I have owned three GM 1 ton trucks, a 1973, a 1976, and a 1982, 1 Chevy, and 2 x GMC's, 1 C30 and two K30's. used them to haul massive loads all over the West Coast. Even hauled a 48 horse capacity horse trailer from Northern California to Tucson Arizona. The 454 and the SM 465 with 510 rear end ratios would pull anything you could ever throw at it. I once moved a 35 ft gooseneck trailer stacked 8-ft tall with bricks. The trailer had a 32,000 lb capacity dual axle tandem wheel. I ended up bending both axles and the truck did not slow down once even over the 58 grade from Bakersfield to Mojave California. I still cruised at 55 the whole way. It's a great combination that can't be beat if you need to hold loads. Wasn't much on comfort but it was huge on reliability and power!

Nice to be able to go back the scene and work thru the issues remaining and rebuilt it from where it was and a lot better in many areas. Glad that the process of rebuilding the truck helped you work thru the trauma of the accident and that nobody got hurt. Job well done in the re-built. Don't feel bad about taking the help people offered you in this dificult moment. It is good to know that there is still a lot of good people out there willing to help a guy when he is down. Keep up making the videos and doing what you know how to do well at your work. Just be carefull at every job because that is why they are called "accidents" you never know when they are going to happen or if everyone is going to be safe after something goes wrong. Live Long and Prosper!

Getting called away from your meals, your family functions, holidays, in the middle of the night and all hours of the freaking day! You sir are a ledgend! Don’t ever let people get to you about what they “think” they know better! I am relatively new to watching KZbin (it started with Matt pulling a Hyundai out of a canyon on a 4X4 only road) that lead me to you and others in Utah and other states. Just keep doing what you do, I am very sure there are a lot of drivers that are very thankful a guy like you exists! Thanks for taking the time to film yourself and giving us the adventures while sitting in our comfy chairs. I’ve learned a lot from you, Matt, Casey and others like you!

KNew a independent service mechanic ended up in a hospital for about six months when a tool box came loose in a crash and ended up in the cab with him.

Towed for 11 years, mostly heavy duty and that sort of thing was my biggest worry every time I lifted anything! Glad everything worked out man, love the truck and love what you’re doing out there!

Hi Rory, all the way from the Netherlands. Not much off-roading here. But I did have some fun time with building up old Nissan Patrol, and go to the Alps to have fun. But that was years ago. Having a kid that had to study did make it financially impossible to keep on off-roading. But it is in my heart for ever! So I look around the Tube for fun off road material and did run into you. And I wanna say I like your vision. A hard worker doing what he loves with a truck that is more than just a piece of steel. But a machine with a soul. No bling but just a honest worker, like it’s owner. I was born on the water, my parents did have ships, and it does make me think about a old trusty tugboat!! Anyway! Wish you well and thanks a lot for sharing your work! Mighty interesting to watch!!

I don't blame you for going safety OCD now. Only advice I can offer is invest in good rubber wheel chocks. Saved my butt a few times working on broke mining heavy equipment. Just to easy to get squished :)

i been where you are. its hard so much stress goes into the job and your equipment that you have to maintain and keep up. the vaule is not the equipment. its you.... my father rebuild his truck 4 times over 79 12 foot chevy 1 ton pickup. started out as junk and ended up as looking like a new chevy police truck. You cant do it alone. i know im starting my dads business over. we sold everything for his health. now he is passed away. im starting his recycling back up and old truck soon as i find one. i love your shows and be strong. you doing great and we all make mistakes. thats how we learn...
