First Recovery With The New Wrecker

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I love the way the back of the new wrecker looks, it's not every day you see someone climbing rocks on a trail with a 70s 1 ton chevy dually that appears largely stock lol

[@godzilla7148]

That old relatively stock Chevy duelly one ton. Did really good!

[@richardmoreno5160]

I like seeing all these new sxs's and cars being recovered on multiple channels with 30-40 year old trucks. Brand new Rubicon broken calls for help,and who comes over the hill to save the day? Trail mater! And now this stock looking chevy one ton doully!

[@karlbrown3214]

Rory is a very seasoned driver, you can tell by the way he takes a decent capable vehicle and makes it look easy.

[@kenmurray4232]

Trail Mater's pretty step-sister did a good job first time out. Bugs are sure to happen & she needs her own dents or scratches. Mike you are doing a great job behind the scenes. Thanks for sharing.

[@Stratos53100]

LOL, nahh keep the paint fresh for a while longer, + on the footage

[@mastercreamer1398]

One time a took a fat dump at a gas station right on the floor by the toilet. Couldn’t stop laughing and forgot to wipe my a-hole off lol

[@PerVerdonk]

Great camera work, really got a good impression of how steep the hills were.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I kept thinking that poor Mike now has to climb up that slope.

[@papawheelie5835]

That replay of the hot tub flip was the very definition of the term "whiskey throttle"! Nicely done, even if it was sort of a shakedown run for the new rig!

[@TrevorDennis100]

It was impossible to only watch that one time. I made do with two replays and was feeling a touch too queasy for a third. It was one heck of a good advert for wearing a seat belt when wheeling. Man years ago a work mate was hilled when the vehicle he was a passenger in rolled, and he fell through the open window and was crushed.

[@thequickbrownfox7289]

Rory still keeping the sound original with all of the banging, screeching, grinding, and the rumble of the engine. I much prefer this to the trend of having background music. The original sound makes it seem more like we see how you get to experience the recovery vs watching an over-produced movie short. Thanks for that!

[@oneeyedjack4727]

The new truck is like a piece of bare canvas. The trail artist will create another masterpiece when he gets done.

[@Troutelectric4492]

AWESOME!!! FINALLY THE NEW Tow Rig. Sweet!!!

[@mjbjw77]

Those cloudy skies in the background @15:19 with the re-worked wrecker was a great shot. Great job Rory and Mike.

[@lanceleavitt7472]

When you lock-up the brakes on all six tires and you still slide backwards downhill, it might be steep terrain. Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on the new truck.

[@jonwo4518]

The videos never do it justice. I’ve never been to Moab but I can tell every one of those hills were gnarly!

[@macgyver2417]

Glad to see the new wrecker. Its got a lot to live up to.

[@tyler4081]

Spent the last week in Moab with my dad and some friends, first time being out here, got lucky enough to shake your hand on Thursday and check out the trail mater, I know your a busy guy so I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to say hi and let us check out your rig, very few times have I seen my pops that exited haha

[@knightshappyfarm]

Damn Rory, you've got the touch or you are touched! That truck looked heavy and you, as always, drive along. You guys had some really good shots this video. Great work.

[@Amisafeyet]

Blind side backing a short wheel base onto individual ramps. No sweat. Rory, u-da-MAN!

[@tracyknight5130]

Rory set off a chain reaction with this build. Matt, Fabrats and even Robbie are all building off road tow trucks. Atta-boy Rory!

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

Matt has been collecting bits and pieces since last year and Paul has had his as a work in progress for almost 2 years.

[@haroldphipps3457]

And Rory is doing Robbies for him. It'll be cool!

[@superczech69]

Rory is such a beast. He is truly a man for his time.

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Hey you got it out, that's what counts right! We all are constantly learning on every recovery.

[@dspeirs8694]

I’ve done some things I shouldn’t have in my stock Chevys, but that rollercoaster climb made me nervous. You’re awesomeness is motivating my build.

[@Lostparadise1776]

Been anxiously waiting to see that build in action. Awesome job.

[@fasteddie737]

Amazing. That ol' square body pulled it off. Thanks to an excellent operator.

[@lespeterson3426]

That was a heck of a test run, I got a kick when you said more modes coming, mods will never stop, and it's good to have, one that don't need all of stuff that you have on the original. Yet¿. Good to have more than one type of recovery vehicle in your fleet. I always enjoy your channel.

[@jeffclark2725]

Yes,like Casey in Bend Or,he has trac,jeep,wheel lift, he had a bog roll bed and a traditional tow truck, but sold most of them

[@lopin890]

Casey's track jeep has a "FOR SALE" sign on it....changin' things up!!

[@lespeterson3426]

[@borandell9915]

Hey Rory. I was with the group you pulled out of Kane Creek late last night. You were a Godsend man. Much appreciated!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Must have been a more "exciting" recovery not having Trailmater there with all of the extra tools and winches 🙂 Always a pleasure to watch!

[@mbukukanyau]

Imagine reversing without a camera

[@mikeday62]

That was freaking awesome. I very much miss Utah, Moab, Green River, Hanksville and the robber's roost back country.

[@KSuspension]

Great work on the fresh truck! We’re the ones who pulled the guy out of the hot tub. Glad he was ok. Told him to call you for rescue; time to build bigger! 💪

[@teiaperigosa]

good job on the assist…. you winched it out?

[@hndaxr400rdr]

@@teiaperigosa yes. Guy who owns it flagged us down, apparently a group of RZR riders passed him by w/out even a wink because a storm was coming. A little rain wasn't going to stop us.

[@Krawlergarage]

I think I have watched your videos more than once. Maybe even more. Your office is breathtaking. It is amazing that you can come up with a fix for most broken rigs. Oh and your trailer out in the middle of nowhere. Keep these awesome videos coming. I have learned a few things.

[@toddstratton8266]

Video upgrades of new wrecker. Camera man did awesome

[@94TahoeDude]

My 82 K30 has the same ticking sound. Lol love these things. They're truly unstoppable

[@ThunderBear4WD]

I love the fact that you commit to testing it out with a smile on your face. That truck's gonna be super solid with the Holley Sniper and lockers. Precise throttle control + 100% traction = WIN

[@sh-df1bb]

I always tractionate my tires too on that trail...lol...😊 Thanks for another great video. Seeing the customers clip of the hot tub roll was pretty awesome

[@ichibangrom9735]

Rory you are an Animal!!!!! Mad Props to you for taking those big Tow Rigs into places I would not even walk! Love your channel and videos.

[@michaelwilliams1294]

Thank you for not playing music, love the sound of that square body. Thanks for taking us along.

[@joesgaragedoorservice7506]

Thanks Rory, I don't know much about off roading but it seems like it is 90% driver 10% rig

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

I should add this. Rory’s driving skills, “OFF-ROAD-DRIVING-SKILLS”, Are truly 2nd to none. PERIOD.

[@josiatokirina1788]

Really enjoyed seeing the new rig at work. The camera work on this recovery was also really well done. Thanks for sharing Rory!

[@dukeflem]

Not just anyone could drive this with a vehicle in tow. You have great skills and put many of them to use with this tow. AWESOME!

[@campy9712]

I need some of those “Tractionated tires. Not only do Rory’s videos kick a$$, he also creates new entries for the folks over at Merriam-Webster. Great video and explanations of how he does things and why he does it.

[@denniscleveland669]

It’s one thing to run the trails with a capable vehicle, but remarkable to see someone run the trails in recovery mode. Also, nice job on backing the customers side by side onto the trailer. That’s real, door to door service, with a smile.

[@terrycahill8362]

The camera work was excellent! Good distance, angles and backdrop scenery. Looking forward to new tow truck upgrades...lots of potential!!!

[@B4UClose]

Mike got you some great shots. Nicely done. Missing Trail Mater though.

[@willieself1]

I was wondering about the new rig!!! Glad to see it out and about, and looking forward to watching it grow into the machine you want it to be. The bonus footage of the rollover was pretty cool!! Nice of those folks to let you include it. Keep up the great work..getting a notification of a new Trailmater video is something I look forward to!!!

[@waterislife.9204]

Rory you're the king of rock climbing in a dually in Moab. Epic skills.

[@griswald322]

Another great recovery Rory. I will watch with interest to see how you adapt the new truck to your specific needs. Loved how you reversed that sxs onto the trailer absolutely spot on.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

That was awesome how he put that sis right onto the trailer - like he drove it up on there. Been towing long? lol

[@markjacobsen605]

Really appreciate the skill to back up a haul into a trailer. Great video.

[@powerhorsea1a376]

That worked incredibly well. We checked it out Friday before Easter weekend since I have an "84 K20 Silverado My son loves to cruise in. Love it when you get footage of what happened. 👍

[@rossgibson1017]

Still AWSOME!!! Got the job done in crazy style! Love it

[@floydstowe]

A great driver makes up for technical difficulties you get the bugs worked out it will be a awesome truck looks great so far thanks for the video

[@blairhawe1]

Great job guys thanks for taking me with you.

[@jerrystott7780]

That's the same setup I had on my old 1950 GMC 2 ton tow truck. (The boom style and rear, but I had mechanical winches off the pto since heavy-duty DC winches weren't available) I like the system you use, it would have simplified things. Have a great day.

[@ZacLowing]

It's so casually confident!

[@chrisgalvin6703]

Great seeing the new wrecker inaction. Definitely a good shakedown run now you can prioritize modification. Can’t wait to watch the modifications and to see it in action again.

[@jrmanion7225]

Thanks for the video our group passed you at the vapor lock spot glad you made it out ..

[@russellwhite8890]

Can’t wait to see the vehicle progress you’re doing a great job and you are one of the best drivers I’ve ever seen.

[@ricoolivier]

My favorite travel channel with some recovery and plenty V8 noises... The part with the black clouds in the back going up the rock is the money shot! Well done Big Blue...

[@gordbaker896]

Great Rig. An old trick is to wrap heavy aluminum foil around the Fuel line near the engine and or hot spot to combat Vapour lock. Or, Electric pump. Those duals make a big big difference as does doors, windows and if you have one, heater! Nice Side by. Very Professional Recovery. Big Block? Exceptional photography and Recovery Rory.

[@General_Confusion]

Great to get the prospective from the outside camera view, it really show the hills better. At least giving it a test tells you what it needs.

[@bicross87]

Even more badass when done with an unprepared vehicle ! You're killing it Rory !

[@maxironpaw]

Very impressed with the performance of the new rig even as it sits.

[@aliceevans3357]

The mad skills you have I don't doubt you can make a recovery in most anything. I don't think trail mater has to worry about the competition. There will be places the new tow truck can't go. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@ethanmcurdy850]

That thing is freaking sweet man love the both of the rigs they have their own personalities

[@richardt.simmons7]

Another great recovery and video. Hats off to you guys for a great job, without perfect equipment. Your skills are awesome, and still remain humble. That’s why your channel is going to the top !!! Louisiana fan !!!

[@skipvanauken6816]

Good job for the first test run on the new truck. Love the additional information you provided both in your decision making process choosing a path back and the notes on the screen.

Wow Mater great rig, fantastic camera shots, super recovery, what a way to start that rig off! Can't believe you let that much air out on stock rims, but you forgot more then I know and I'm 75 yrs old, again fantastic camera shots!!!

That truck looks so similar to my dads old truck. He called it the Blue Ox. As a little kid it was more fun to ride in than a roller-coaster.

[@bradleymclean4320]

Excellent work sir, using bone stock vehicle for off road recovery, certainly shows your impressive driving skill. Can see this truck being a great asset to your fleet, less work/expense to achieve same result, 1 piece of equipment instead of 3.

[@desimora8]

Wow, even with all the deficiencies that truck does a fine job under your supervision and handling . Technical recovery for sure. Well done as usual.

Rorey I have never been off-roading . My back and neck wouldn’t allow it. I have been watching you and Matt for a minute and I have to tell you. Having never been to your part of Utah.

Sooo what you are way too humble to say is that the skill of the driver is not to be underestimated! As always you make it look easy. Can't imagine what she'll be when you get her finished.

[@billsoutdooradventures]

Well it did it. I figured it would. You get to have all the fun. The front wheel burnout was cool, but I'd say it's time to ditch the 203. I'm guessing you plan to use it to build a doubler. I'm glad to be seeing more content. 👍

[@vangoodwin7335]
