Overlanders Are Getting Heavier

Some maintenance on the rigs in the shop. Then we got a call for a Gladiator on Hells Revenge that quit running. After some diagnostics we decided to just pull it out to the Trailhead. If was definitely a hard pull from the weight of the rig, but we got it out. Then back to Hells Gate for a 4runner that had tore the steering rack off the frame. A quick washer fix and we had it driving itself out of the trail. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Trail mater sounds like a colony of seals barking at each other.

Mike is out there leaving it better than he found it! Hell yeah, man.

[@brianpeck697]

Love to see it

[@frankhage1734]

Leaving a wild area better than you found it is an ethic that has been taught in the western US for decades. I've been in places where most of the people have the ethic; Someone else will clean my abandoned trash and repair any damage I do.

[@jeffproctor1690]

Rory, Shawn, and Mike have my utmost respect as an outdoorsman. Always picking up litter and refuse others leave behind. Always minding trail limits and boundaries. Always helping others out in need even when they dont charge for it. Love those guys, love the example they set.

Daaaang I left those washers out like bread crumbs so I could find my way back. I was lost for 2 days. I was attacked by 3 rock peckers in the night. I slept in one of their nests lol.

In a world of off road recoveries, you are a KING

[@fhgaylor]

Your motto should be “Adapt, Improvise, Overcome”. I’ve been watching your channel almost since its inception and you never cease to amaze and overcome every adversity. Truly inspiring to watch.

[@barbeonline351]

Camera angle suggestion: You have the vista view, the rolling up an obstacle side view, the innovative undercarriage view, and the buddy cab convo. What I wanted was the in cab Rory hand and feet view pulling up the hill. Stalling out mid-climb with a deadly load/anchor behind.... starting, getting in gear, and going. The shifting, the pedal work, etc. Use it when it is front dig time to show the transfer case lever work. Trailmater is a helluva machine, but the operator's skill is the real show.

[@trailmater]

We've had a few videos with the pedal cam and in cab footage. We try to get as much as we can.

[@Ganiscol]

Oh yea, there are videos where Rory works the wheel, the levers, the pedals and the camera all at once to the point where you have to wonder where does he hide that third arm? 😅

[@ogimia]

@@Ganiscol lol

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

@@trailmater I think he meant in cab footage on this recovery specifically because of your struggles pulling the gladiator. For someone who is interested in the technical side of this, in cab footage would be nice. Probably a small portion of your viewers though.

[@mikesdd07]

​@Ganiscol or what is he using to hold the camera? Truly talented.

[@RG-ce5hj]

Loving the humor! Rubbing the Rub-a-Con !😅 For good luck 😂😂

[@2WheelKam]

The most impressive thing about this video was the fact that you did all that hopping without breaking an axle. That was some impressive throttle control!

[@ToddKnauer]

I love how Shawn laughs at just about everything. It makes me all happy.

ORD is a class act. Met those guys 22 years ago on Pritchett, we all were having a great time. Yea, everything is stupid huge and heavy now........seems like everyone must have 140" wheelbase and 40-42" tires to do Moab.... 22 years ago I did Pritchett on a 112" wheel base and 38" tires.......Did it this year on an 89" wheel base and 31" tires LOL !!!!

[@kenmurray4232]

I never thought I'd see TrailMater not make a hill. Wow that was one heavy Rubicon. Nice recoveries with a bonus med kit. Keeping it honest is what keeps bringing everbody back. Thanks for sharing.

[@NathanielHatley]

Time for some relocatable ballast to add to the front? (I know there's already some up there) Could bolt some bar stock to the frame rails for regular use (helps keep cog low) and move it to the front when needed.

[@todds9503]

Those MED kits are Priceless 👀👍✌️

[@kevinkolling1562]

The trash bag is one of your best ideas yet

[@TomaszbtdZiobrowski]

- what equipment do you want on your gladiator? - yes 🤦‍♂

[@volvo09]

Where are you going? Heavily traveled trails a half ton truck without lockers could handle... Although to give the owner credit the Jeep does have a lot of redneck pinstripes, so he has been to various wooded or bushy areas.

[@hermione6830]

this. makes me think of trying to get my 3yr old granddaughter to pick a snack.

[@aussiebloke609]

Bouncing something off a tyre to see if it's low sounds like a joke, but I remember when I was a kid, watching road train drivers walk along their trailers in the morning, bouncing a crowbar off each tyre before hitting the road. I guess it's faster than a gauge, especially considering that some of them had around 60 tyres or so to check every day.

[@imfloridano5448]

The three of them interact like they have been friends since kids. Wat a great relationship to have sum people who have your back .

[@shirleyallen6072]

Shawn - thank you for your smile & Laugh & Mike you are the best encourager & support for Shawn & Rory --- you too have a wonderful smile & laugh --- & Rory....your smile and focus has resulted in conquering this recovery!

Spring is in and windows are no longer needed. Trail Mater to the rescue. It's always interesting to hear what they were told on the drive out before seeing the actual situation.

[@doggedout]

Read the other day that those "Rub-i-cons" are basing out at around $95 k.... Maybe they are so heavy because they are made of gold or something.?

[@krashnpa]

Definitely getting heavier for reals. It's all those tasty burgers I end up grilling when out on the trails!

[@jeepin4on4]

You guys rock, Trail Mater too....🥰 Thanks for sharing.

[@thequickbrownfox7289]

FYI - Those washers were left there as nesting material for the rock peckers.

[@matthodel946]

Nice trail repair on the Toyota, that truck had some pretty good articulation.

[@Meanderthal-Adventures]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of overland rigs that are loaded past their max payload rating. The guys up at Epic Adventure Outfitters in BC call them Overloaders for a reason.

[@Explore_RC]

Good video, thanks!

[@freeidaho-videos]

Trailmater prevails, even with a bloated off-road vehicle.

[@volvo09]

That certainly looked heavy. You could see it in the tire squash, suspension travel, and tough unassisted brake performance heading down slopes.

Rub a con... nice! 🤣🤣 too bad the rubbing didn't work any magic 😁😁 Thanks as always for sharing

Looks like Mater will be getting some extra HP & TQ lol. I have no need for a tow truck but you guys got me wanting one lol.

[@albert-gazo]

So yeah,.. great video guys

[@hermione6830]

I think it just needed for Mike & Shawn to rub it on the rubicon stickers at the same time from both sides. I mean it started after Mike rubbed it, so a double rub would be magic. 🤣

[@johnkirby6547]

Love the humor from you guy's. That had to be a puckering moment on the hill and you handled it very well 👏 Thanks for sharing and helping keep things clean.
