Gladiator Recovery And Repair

[@kathleendietrich744]

Rory, thank God for your scrap parts you saved us with a used bone yard axle in 2017. I hope you have more videos showing more shop stuff. Key board warriors can learn a lot from you and your shop. Trailmater is amazing, anyone who got a chance to ride in one of your rigs on a recovery would be one lucky person. Great job, thanks Mike for helping film. It was nice seeing the prospective in the rig being towed out. Happy trails

[@carstengrove6214]

Yes shop videos are always interesting

[@DaffyDuc69]

Scrap pile is where I keep all of the old takeoffs too.. Hard to throw them away when you dig through it often enough.

[@donwilliams3626]

A grand display of how able and capable you and Trail Mater are.

[@ephjay6t87]

So calm and cool over that hairball fin. I was on the edge of my seat the whole video.

[@scottthomas5999]

Another vary skillful recovery. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@willsmitherman688]

I enjoy seeing Rory and trailmater out there proving the built not bought theory. I don't see how Rory can even call his job work with seeing that beautiful scenery daily!

[@goride450]

He makes it looks easy but he definitely puts in some work!

[@willsmitherman688]

@@goride450 It would be hard to call that work when you're getting paid to wheel and rescue off roaders in that beautiful area! Don't get me wrong I love hauling steel and the South but every one of these videos has so much beautiful scenery!

[@masterbates7016]

It's different when you're working with beautiful scenery he probably doesn't see most of it because he's busy working looking at where he's going LOL we're just lucky that it's all on video so we can enjoy it all right

[@akjohnny5997]

looks like hard work to me, he just makes it look easy

[@mz2288]

Rory, this is another pro recovery! You have such incredible off road driving skill, patience to let physics do it’s work and the exact right tools to get the job done. Absolutely epic! Respect.

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

Gives me a chuckle to see these fancy new $70, 80 K vehicles & then there's the recue rig. Old beat up Chevy with a big block & enough winches, gears & gear to haul your butt out of almost anywhere. Seen the story on TrailMater & it's an impressive machine.

[@stilesevans1]

It's like a Swiss Army Knife

[@pariah7843]

Rubicon stickers make me chuckle the most. I remember him recovering a Jeep called “Da Beast” or some lame-ass name like that all tore the f apart and getting carried out by his ol beater tow pig.

[@krashnpa]

@Pariah 78 I take it you dont wheel much or mostly web wheel. Any rig can break even the pig.

[@pariah7843]

@@krashnpa been wheeling since I was 16 and I’m 44. Built several rigs, Jeep’s and Toyota’s, multiple K5’s snd K10’s...also built completely one-off custom street rigs that were bagged, and body dropped as well as custom bikes. And I never said nothing couldn’t break. These new Jeep’s break too easily for what they are and what they cost. First Jeep I ever built was a 84 cj7 when I was in high school and it was nothing more than a spring over axle swap on stock axles lunchbox lockers and T18 trans swap with 35” BFG All Terrains that I did in the dirt with cut timbers as jack stands and covered with fire ants and it wheeled ten times better than that Rubicon Gladiator.

[@krashnpa]

@Pariah 78 then you should know it doesn't matter that it broke and how much the rig cost. At least he's out there putting his build to the test. Run whatya brung, right? Best part is he's fixed up and ready roll again.

[@mattc.310]

Pretty clean recovery. Nice having an accomplice around. About scared him there for a second. Thanks for taking us along.

[@hoosiertrailrider]

Rory, Your the Maestro of off-road recovery.

[@alans6767]

What I like about your videos is they are all business and no extra bs. Recovered and repaired in the same day, that is amazing all in itself. Thanks!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

That was some next-level recovery skills...pleasure to watch a master of his craft :)

[@jessemullins8144]

Man, so much respect for you guys. Rory, you know how much people want to enjoy their leisure time out on the trail. Some people could have saved and planned for months to get to be there. So cool of you to get them running the same day! Hats off!

[@peterlevy7679]

Another great tow and repair ,love the Trailmater tow and workshop in one.

[@carstengrove6214]

You guys have such a beautiful state, I’m up in Washington state and Utah is on my top places to visit

[@gunnertramel8914]

I like your camera work just like I’m riding right in there with you I like the slow movement !

[@Paul_Lane]

That was a white knuckle tow at the end, but that silhouette was pretty awesome.

[@MC-re2ry]

Good stuff Rory. Love the rumble of the big block. Buckets of low end torque. Thanks for letting me ride along.

[@dougdean3134]

Great recovery and great attitude. It’s only 3 we can get this done today! And then done.

[@stephenshort839]

Another display of your knowledge and experience at work. Great job Rory one of many, more to come. I'll be watching 👀 you. 👀🤔🤠

[@OldJeepGarage]

Another broken Gladiator.. and Another adventure with Rory and the Trail Mater beast! Always great to see some shop action too. Can't wait for an update on the new wrecker!

[@francesrice7898]

Love the patience and care Rory takes with the vehicle’s. 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@randytravis3998]

Dam I thought the truck was going to come back when you started to climb that hill .. Great video .. I was grabbing my arm rest on my computer chair .. the video was like I was in the Jeep .. thumbs up

[@LJC5865]

Cool Shadow Scene.. looks like a scene in Wiley the Coyote and Roadrunner. Wiley being towed, recovering from a long fall to the bottom of the canyon

[@Amisafeyet]

That wheelie got my attention. You fellers are pro's. Rory made an adjustment, Mike gave the team assist. No problem. I would've needed Depends.

[@rockweeks5697]

Good job Rory!! Trailmater comes thru again! Excellent video..thanks for taking us along on this recovery. You do fantastic work!!!

[@kevinallen8072]

Rory, missed you man, glad your back out there doing what you do best. Always a pleasure watching you work.

[@fernandomurillo9272]

Rory everyone says you don’t talk much but just looking at what you are doing pretty much says a lot. Damm you do a awesome job

[@1111Overland]

It was great to see you out there. Thanks for letting us stop and watch for a while!

[@sbs-0055]

You’re welcome.

[@bigtsperspective5831]

I wait to watch your vids first . Not too many but when there’s a new one . You first buddy

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

What a great extraction from Hells Revenge. So rad to see Mike's perspective for the tow. Not sure if the camera did full justice, but part of it looked hella steep! 22:45 that is a great shadow of Trailmater doing awesome work! So rad you could fix the Gladiator up so fast!

[@tickytacky8078]

Holy. I was just watching boat repairs and fails on auto play falling asleep.. all of a sudden a hear broken a arm and I'm now awake. Thanks spring ahead!?!

[@goride450]

Loved seeing the view from inside the vehicle being recovered! Especially at the climb at the end!

[@loosemoose9799]

Rory designed a beautiful tow truck that meets the needs of any recovery he undertakes. That is a true work shop on wheels.

[@robink2563]

I will be in Moab at the end of the month I would like to stop by to see you and trailmator.

[@mitchellanderson7369]

So will I lmao

[@corycody9233]

We are working on getting down there about April 8th to meet up with Gamblers and do some trail clean up, these videos make me wonder if the ride will survive! 👍🤞

[@jerrycann6374]

That is one of the best recovers of a broken down vehicle I have seen. You skillfully used what you needed from the vehicle you designed and built for recoveries like this...👍

[@dezertraider]

YOUR CRAZY! LOL..THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC VIEW OF THE ABAJO MOUNTAINS! GLAD YOU GOT SNOW AND HOPE FOR PLENTY WATER FOR YOU THIS YEAR.CRAZY DRIVING!

[@mainebumpkin1795]

Another good video Rory and it’s nice to know you are there to help people who get in trouble on the trails around Moab. Great customer service!

[@BurntTransGarage]

The number of videos of Jeeps shedding parts on the trail have me concerned about the Jeep I just bought, haha. Good work as always Rory.

[@kevindunn858]

I enjoy the mascerated words, like well-ed and attaché for attached. We understand your MOJO and lingo perfectly. Keep it up. It makes the city folks scratch their heads. Lol

[@byronwhitney665]

All these people who can spend 75-100k on their new toys are what keeps guys like Rory in business. It’s awesome as far as I’m concerned.

[@paulsmallriver6066]

Jeep;s cost is not commensurate with their quality

[@highwatercircutrider]

$75-100,000 to go out and just trash a toy pisses off hard working people with families to support ! What a stupid, entitled vehicle owner ! America really is a culture in decline.

[@sandymj3w633]

Hey I think that's the 1st time I saw trail mater pop a wheelie! I did it on an old Allis Chalmers tractor years ago. Kinda gets the blood going lol. Glad you had Mike with you for the drive out & extra camera angles. Thanks for explaining what was wrong & the double shackles. Great vid! 👍

[@pariah7843]

Did you catch the vid where it completely looped out trying to tow something? Total pisser but it’s a super short wheelbase, so it’s a gamble. I get that he keeps it short for the tight turns and terrain tho.

[@pariah7843]

He needs to add some weight slugs to the front to help keep it down...sort of like what tractors use.

[@colecallin13]

Saw this happen in person and couldn’t wait to see the video! Awesome recovery!!

[@OpieDogie]

You sir, and that trailmater rig are nothing short of amazing!!

[@Cujo71321]

Rory, I am a fan and love to watch you, Matt (Off Road Recovery), Paul (Fab Rats), Matt (Bleepin' Jeep), etc. doing your thing. I have one request/suggestion. You need to turn on your KZbin permissions to allow subtitles/closed captions. It doesn't cost you anything, and it helps people like me with hearing difficulties to understand what you and your friends are saying, especially when in the wind where outside noise kills the microphone. It's good to see you have a camera man on this episode and hope that he will be a regular addition from now on. Great work, great channel!

[@isallah1kafir196]

@Stephen King, unless I am sorely mistaken, does not the video uploader needs to type every word first in one special software/tex-editor to merge sub-titles with the video? It was two years ago I looked into this, doubt it that this has changed. This would mean, that a hearing person would first type the spoken text into a file. Like I wrote it was two years ago. After all what one would at least need is a speech to text engine, which picks up the spoken word, but that isn't always working....

[@Cujo71321]

@@isallah1kafir196 KZbin now has a generic captions/subtitle generator offered for free to each channel, but you have to just click on the channel permissions to get it turned on. It's funny to see sometimes the words that it types when you know that they are using slang language or mumbling. Sometimes when you hear truck engines whine it says "Music" or "Applause." It's not perfect, but it does help when there is background noises, etc. I appreciate any effort you put forth to get the captions/subtitles turned on. Thank you!

[@joannaquarton2366]

I was only just saying we haven't seen any of your trips out and here you are I am so happy ☺️ love it

[@willieself1]

Was in Moab last week. Met you and Trail Mater headed into Sand Flats as we were coming out, and we drove by your shop everyday. Had no no idea you had a KZbin channel till just yesterday. Love the videos!!! Keep em coming!!!

[@tomhol8559]

Good to see you out there Rory. Was concerned not seeing any vedios lately of you and Lily...

[@lonhoschar1943]

Looked like a pretty tedious and difficult recovery. You did an excellent job, Rory!! Nice video!! Looked like you got them all repaired and ready to run. I'll bet they were really happy with the "one call does it all" so they didn't have to deal with locating a repair shop and getting someone else to repair it!!

[@my_random_things]

Great recovery Rory. Love the Airplane reference!

[@jamesbigham9036]

Rory I always look forward to your videos I can always learn new things from your years of experience. You are a one man crew that puts the customer first and also juggles a KZbin channel. I give you credit because there isn't a job that you and TrailMater can't handle. Thank you for showing us the whole process from the tow and the repair you always go out of your way to help people.

[@pja8204]

Hey Rory, love it that you have a nice warm cab to close you off from the rain and snow that's great. Love watching you and Mater.

[@timvanasen6711]

Great job Rory I don't believe their's a recovery you can't do and you fixed the customer's Jeep all in the same day that's awesome 😉👍

[@aldimore]

Seems like a lot of work goes into a recovery on those unforgiving rocks. Thanks for sharing!

[@edventures_4938]

Considering the obstacle and where the vehicle broke, that one was tough! Nice work man! It was pretty sweet to see the you guys fix it at the shop too!

[@dieseldirtdude]

another great job rory, jeep safari week is just around the corner, that should net some awesome videos!

[@TheMeekSheep]

Awesome recovery. Definitely wanted to see the test drive though lol.

[@gustavomarin2061]

That exit at the end was crazy great job guys

[@tamellacravens855]

another good recovery Rory,

[@maxironpaw]

They weren't kidding with that 'Exit' sign.

[@jeffvandam2018]

Rory, your skills just amaze me!! I wish I had 1/2 as much talent in my little finger as you have overall! I love watching your, Matts, Paul's and Robbies channels' they always make my day!! And the scenery is always awesome too! Keep up the great work.

[@Daniel-S1]

Thanks.

[@clatham1971]

Awesome pull , Rory's nerves are steel, up and down that with one in tow, danggggg , get'it ....

[@Lee-mmg]

Another good end to a recovery.. You keep it real and do an awesome job. And can get them back up and running. Thumbs up!!

[@deniseleppanen9016]

Another awesome vid! Thanks Rory.

I really like watching you doing what you do best trailmater is a true off road tow rig.

[@JamesJohnson-zb5rr]

Thanks for sharing Rory. Perfect rig, I'll take one.

I just Love you Trail mator. My dad had a homemade tow truck. Buck Penna, Gibersons Used Parts.

Just another day at the office!!! Great job Rory.... Here in Louisiana our white caps are on waves not mountain tops😀 ✌

[@rayrussell6064]

As usual Rory your the man you and trailmater is as one the confidence that you have with recovery and repair makes my day you sir are a rarity and it's so awesome to watch you work. God bless you guys and as always be safe 👍

[@ericheys546]

Great camera work it really does a better idea of the strain put on your truck..just hope that YOU never change the way you explains how you do your job. You have a great team.

[@davidbeattie4294]

A couple of those shots on the ridge line just before the parking lot were pretty much terrifying to look at. Job well done. Good looking scenery to someone stuck in snowy Toronto.

[@AdamBrown-fs6wp]

Love the show..really love the truck, built tough..lol..giving meaning to like a rock. And really like how you are honest with customer about cost and time frame for repair. Keep up good work

[@davidellyson8815]

AT LAST!!! Another video!! I was wondering what was wrong with the world! Nice work, as usual!

[@huffy737]

For a second there when you had the winch on the wheel after setting it down, I thought you were about to use a third winch line. Figured two was enough anyway but a three winch video is coming soon. I just thought by the way you were swinging your head back and forth you were contemplating something before the lift. Went nicely either way.

[@allenhenry1113]

Wow!! That was a great recovery and fix! Way to go!!!

[@slvrdollar1]

Awesome field triage!

[@sgtfubar6064]

this is a whole other level of recovery......amazing

[@randymack1782]

great job, the more I watch, the more regret I have for not going this direction towards wheeling in my youth, friends did, I rode with them, & occasionally drove theirs, but mainly I just did the repairs, I was the mechanic / welder / body man, but I chose to work on street race cars, chasing speed, with vintage stuff now. seen too many guys get killed racing. I was for them to beat, but after enough, I quit street racing, & stopped mechanic work, I was too out of control racing, then my conscience got to me, over how many died racing me, I never stopped after a wreck, yeah. so I just did body work for many years. I finally started forgiving myself in 2017. keep up great videos! you are my favorite one as well as Trail-Mater.

[@cameronskaggs4188]

[@davidfarmer1666]

I watched the whole video through once and you didn't show much of the tow. I also missed giving you your deserved thumbs up. You got it back in the shop and did the total repair. That's great but I didn't catch a whole lot of the drift. The setting up for tow was beyond me. You got it done so we know you did your usual best work, I just didn't follow.

[@davidr.4699]

I know you can't always have an extra person with you but it does make good video with the second camera angles.

[@Darwindiggler]

Once we blow up this channel he'll have more camera angles than a octagon lol

Those Aluminum shafts with the 2.5 Ton tie rod ends have a lifetime warranty but that warranty only helps you when you get off the trail
