Rory is a machine. The truck build will be epic. The name of the truck should be "Henry". Of course after Henry Ford. But you could call it "Henry Houdini", because it will get you out of anywhere by the time it is done.

I used to drink these in moderation when I was working construction then one day I had 4 total and could not safely climb a ladder because it made my legs shake so bad and I couldn't keep my hands steady. Now I maybe drink 4 a year when I need it to keep me awake on a road trip

Growing up in Southern Utah, we all had to learn strategies for getting unstuck as well as just not getting stuck. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to learn all that. One year while driving through Algeria through the desert, I stopped to air down to get through some big dunes. My passenger looked surprised asking why I was flattening my tires (verbiage is a bit different there). I just smiled and said to trust me. When we got passed them you’d have thought I threw him a birthday party. I guess he had never seen that trick and was counting on digging and pushing for a while.

The more I watch Rory and Trail mater, the more I realize how smart he is and Trail mater is a work of art with tools to fix anything and a spot for everything. 3/4" bolts everywhere and the trailer with tube framing so he can pull at different angles are both genius ideas amongst all the other things that trailer mater is capable of.

Yeah Rory is the man. Best driver and knows his rigs and knows how to make field fixes. Matt is always saying how well the fix is his snow cat held up...a field fix with whatever parts he had on the Trail Mater. And the trail Mater looks like a Mad Max scorpion inspired desert dueller. Put a couple guns on that thing and it would be more iconic than the Bat Mobile. I wish I had 1/10th of that guys knowledge when it comes to fixing trucks.

I was watching a Trail Mater video and Rory mentioned how the old tow truck project was in need of attention. So I sought out this video to catchup and was compelled to comment. I wanted to acknowledge the way you described your change of habit with the energy drink. It sends a good, positive message about personal choice; "I just stopped. Cold turkey. And you can do the same." I had a choice like that once, and I handled it in that way. And it was the best decision I could make. You're seem a good family man Robby, a good friend, a good boss, and a good person. Thanks again for what you said Robby. It will mean the world to someone, somewhere, someday and change their life for the better.

It made him so irritating people couldn't hardly be around him. One day he ended up in the hospital having chest pains after passing out. The doctor told him he better stop the energy drinks. He is good now but it was scary for sure. Oh and PS I think because it will probably be the oldest tow truck around name it Grandpa

Loads of V10 Rv motors but the 2valve 2002 Excursion I had no torque even after tuning, headers, cpu remap. We made 100 more rear wheel HP but limply torque for the cubic inches.

@@timothybailey7118 Maybe you had a bad engine, stock it should have made 425 ft/lbs of torque, the 6.0 LS makes 380 ft/lbs. I've only heard great things about them for towing, only downfall was fuel mileage. Prehaps you had a worn out camshaft nor low compression. My 5.4L 2 valve made great power with just a ECU tuner. Had a fresh rebuild as well

@@azdragoon72 Thanks for data. I wasn’t comparing it to an LS. Swapping wasn’t an option. I was trying to get the most at the rear wheels. That 325hp motor only made 205hp at the rear wheels and torque was nowhere near 425 rear wheel either. 8,000 lbs won’t move or tow with only 300 lb ft torque at wheels

Name thoughts: gotta merge the words WRECKER, Model T and -mater. Hmmmmm “Wreck-T-Mater” is the easiest. Maitre-T is more subtle play on maitre-d or head waiter (has some attending graphic ideas ). TWreck is an alliteration to TRex which connects to its age. Ultimately the build itself will reveal the name as each stage is complete and you do the walkaround. Way cool project.

Except it's a model A, which was said plenty of times in the video. Model A was newer, bigger and better in almost every way than the Model T. Model T's claim to fame is that it the first mass-produced car and a LOT of them were made in the 20 year run before the model A.
