Getting The Wrecker Stuck

Got a referral from Matt's Off-road for a Toyota Truck stuck in the snow above Loa Utah. Went in and got the truck out,managed to get the wrecker stuck twice. Lots of shoveling and winching and we got it out and everything back home.

Thanks again for pulling me out Rory! Great to see how the recovery went and I really appreciate the care that’s clearly put in to making sure my truck was pulled out safely. Hope to never need your help again but you’ll be the first call if I do! Thanks for taking the time to talk with me as well and teach me a few things. A++ service and forever grateful for your help.

Rory. I don't care what everyone else says. I love your rough cut style videos. It is more real and not so refined. I like the realistic part. It shows how much you work that truck to do what you made it to do. And it shows the insane amount of skill that you have doing it. My hat is off to you brother!

[@tak-el-uc]

I agree completely.

[@larrybittick1171]

[@graememckay9972]

Whoever criticised you for using "passenger or driver" are the dumb ones. I'm in Scotland and have the steering wheel on the correct side and fully understand you, Matt, Hollie, Paul, Cole and Diesel D when you give instruction. When I grow up I'm going to be an engineer and build me a trail mater. That beast is awesome. (I'm 50 yrs old).

[@randymack1782]

yep, here in the USA, just use drivers side, or pass side, 99% of vehicles are correct, however I did work at a shop specializing in mail Jeeps, all those were right side steering, & in youth, I played with British cars, and lots of Austins were right drive as well. but everything else has been correct

[@littlesteve855]

I agree whole heartedly. Same as near side and off side. It also doesnt change depending upon which way you are facing.

[@davebenson1504]

I guess we cannot go clockwise or counter clockwise... someone is bound to have a reverse wind clock too... 🙂

[@patproctor1432]

I think he surpassed Matt by now.... A ton sharper by far.

[@woxie4990]

Matt's Matt, and Rory's Rory, they're entirely different. Rory does not need to replicate, emulate nor simulate Matt to be better or more successful, although extra narration doesn't hurt as most the world doesn't speak offroad, winching and towing 🤭😊

[@mikecrawford7352]

I hope Rory makes it big but not like Matts however. Matts hasn’t been the same since the wrecker games last year. I stopped following Matt’s it’s like the fame goes to their head and they repost content when they don’t have enough content to put out.

[@aliceevans3357]

Since we drive on the right side of the road here I wouldn't worry about using driver/passenger as directionals. The first time I heard that on these videos I thought gosh, that makes so much more sense than left/right. How many times have left, right confused someone, especially in some circumstances. You keep doing you, we love it! Stay safe and GOD bless

[@randomistmech]

The comment about the deadman in the tree was hilarious, Rory you make the videos very interesting 👍👍

[@DonAshcraft]

You guys joking around and having fun are really good parts of your videos! Thanks!

[@michaelcauser474]

Rory, you are making the right call on which way to steer with no confusion between any of the people involved in the recovery. I live in Australia where we drive on the left (proper) side of the road, and we let you guys in America drive on the other side, but that is totally immaterial to what you are doing. In the same way port and starboard are also totally irrelevant in off road recovery. Drivers side = the side that the driver is sitting. Passenger = the side that any passenger would be sitting. Left and right calls only serve to allow for confusion to happen. Never apologise for using the terms that you are comfortable with. I could hop into one of your rescued vehicles after spending nearly 60 years with the steering wheel on the right side of a vehicle and I would understand immediately exactly what you wanted me to do. Stick to doing exactly what you are doing already.

[@larsradtke4097]

Wait what? Silly guys, It's clearly Starboard and Portside

[@jamesfield6568]

At least he didn't use starboard and port.

[@byronwhitney665]

I agree with you 100%. Driver and passenger are always correct instructions FOR THE DRIVER.

[@elmerexpress]

Now this is some serious snow mastering skills! (Actually some of the best I've seen since I was in the military in the polar regions (Northern Norway) where we were learning to drive our deuce-and-a -half's off road.) I do suggest you give Matt and Robby a crash-course in mounting tight snowchains: Absolutely no slack and strongly secure all loose ends. It will save them a looot of sheet metal repairs. Just a thought..

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Yeah it's nice to see someone using snow chains correctly, or at all LOL. So often I'm screaming at the monitor to Matt's crew "Where are the snow chains...?" LOL It's great watching a guy who knows what he is doing, with the right gear, truly a real pro. Watching Trail Mater power through those drifts is a thing of beauty! I grew up in Canada, but now live in Tokyo, I don't get much chance to play in the snow anymore! Cheers from Tokyo!

[@jeffclark2725]

Agreed,and he wasn't using 3 bungee straps per wheel

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@TokyoCraftsman Yes but now he needs to chain up the rear axle as well, Perhaps a cut down pair of bearpaw skidder chains.

[@frankhage1734]

As someone who usually has to chain up to get into the cabin, I'd love to see a video on how to get chains to fit properly. I chain all 4 wheels and use 2 bungees per tire. I cut off the extra chain on each side. 1st link on the inside, usually 2nd link on the outside. Even though I've done it dozens of times, I get WHACK, WHACK, WACK... half way up, in the deep stuff.

[@elmerexpress]

@@frankhage1734 Halfway up, huh? That means you do part one VERY well. Retightening (part two) is part of the game. And always keep the inner chain as short as possible and w/o loose ends. All adjusting on the outside (you won't get fully as wet then). How tight to keep it? If you hear the " krrtsh-krrtsh-krrtsh" sound, meaning the chain is larger than the tire - then they are fit too loose. When you do this correctly the chains sound even, and you won't need the bungees. I never needed them myself and never saw anyone using them. Just watch Rory's front wheels. No slack at all - just fully tight. That meant he could use them more roughly and also drive faster.

The Bevy or Covey part of your reply is correct but the plural of grouse is grouse. A bevy of grouses or a Covey of grouses just doesn't sound right. But I looked it up on Google and in multiple places I found that the plural is the same as the singular word.
