‪@RobbyLayton‬

The rear fenders are forming up and getting skinned. Step/sliders are done. Rear winch mount and bumper. Front grill mount is in. Now to decide what motor can fit without cutting the hood. We measured every motor in the yard. We tried every possible configuration to fit while keeping the look of the truck. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

We have officially left “cool build” territory and have entered “art”. Thanks for taking us along!

[@patbullard9276]

Please don’t say that. You know the stigma of being an “artist”!?

[@lowrider94ss]

Y you gotta gay it up by calling it art ?

[@rudiekeyser2495]

Exactly

[@Bryanja81]

Facts.

[@christopherwedemeyer2993]

True

[@General_Confusion]

It's amazing how they make it look like they know what they're doing, for a minute i was convinced that Rory even had a plan.

[@Crewsy]

Plans? We don’t need no stinking plans.

[@knockharder3554]

@@Crewsy always nice to see a "Blazing Saddles" reference lol

[@johnnyadams1755]

It is amazing that they can just start building and then decide what will fit.

How I build metal sculptures.

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

Rory's eyecrometer is well calibrated. Justin is killing it with the editing! I am enjoying watching this build. Thanks for including Hector.

[@justinjones3880]

Rory's sign language when Mike was tacking the fender tube back together of " yup weld it all the way around " no words spoken but Mike knew what to do

[@COM70]

And did it as consistently as a robot.😂

[@noneckjoe948]

Also when Rory finished with his bend… only a slight look and a smirk… means grab it I’m done….

[@Stratos53100]

That is properly following administrative orders according to the buisness code of policy. heh.

[@benjaminrich9396]

I love Shawn's little handmade notebook of engine dimensions. :)

[@skipvanauken6816]

Looking great boys! You too Hector!

[@ryanjapalucci983]

I watch all your videos but never comment. As a technical person that does a fabrication for a living, I am truly impressed by you three. Thank you

[@ewengillies9826]

Rare to get a group of guys working together that have that complete understanding of each others talents and gift of words unspoken. Super group Rory. Bushyboy Oz.

[@javman03]

It's so refreshing to see someone welding on KZbin that can actually weld vertical up!

[@aaronpainter8911]

Rory, your pipe bending skills are next level to perfection

[@Mohawk21-oi1nit]

When other shop/ build videos get boring, TRAIL MATER ( RORY, MIKE AND SHAWN ) EFFICIENTLY MAKE US LAUGH AND GAWK AT THE "USABLE" ART THEY ARE CREATING. CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS OLD MONSTER ROC BIRD CATCHING ROCK PECKER EGGS FROM THE TRAIL AND ROCK CLIMBING!

[@rudiekeyser2495]

Sure

[@themekfrommars]

Such awesome teamwork. I think Robbie owes Rory a new pair of Dad shoes!

[@bst0125]

Watching Rory run the bender. 👍 Watching y'all cut and coup pipe. 👍 Mike just tacking on an welding. 👍 Houlin Wolf stretching the cab👍 Heard Rory say "Robby might not get it back" LMAO 😊 Very nice work y'all 😊

[@-Scotty]

Mad respect to all the boys especially Hector for his time and contribution.

[@ramjam720]

This is looking fantastic. Robby is gonna' be so happy with this wrecker. I don't think Rory would've been happy, but he would have been a great automotive engineer.

[@dannico58]

Rory, you take tube-bending to a level few have ever seen, even more impressive is you're not following a blueprint or build sheet you're going off a mental image from a vision in your head, this level of creativity paired with the ability to actually produce the vision isn't just rare, it's unheard of. having two other great welder/fabricators working with you sure helps. I guess I better throw in an honorary mention to Hikwing Wolf Garage, that boy is the shit!

[@tedfisk1211]

I am enjoying the metal bending and welding. It is a masterpiece of work. These guys are really good at what they do.

[@AMeise-vy4fk]

The Legend of Rory.....the last Tube-Bender

[@rkc8216]

I'm glad you guys are wearing your safety glasses. I recently had an MRI. One of the questions on the admittance form was "Do you have any metal shavings in your eye from welding?". I was like I hope not, then spent the whole procedure wondering it metal shavings were going to start ripping from my body. I did survive it.

[@robertheinkel6225]

I was doing some grinding with my regular glasses, and about two hours later, my lease shattered, sending fragments into my eye. My eye doctor asked me if I had been using a grinder previously. He explained a hot piece etched my lens. Then the wire frame put enough pressure on the lens to cause it to eventually break.

[@noneckjoe948]

Yup.. take care of your body when doing this kind of work when you are young…. I’m 50… and developed bursitis in the knee caps from kneeling on concrete working on jeeps… it WILL catch up to you.

[@jimmyoking]

Watching Rory fabricate and bend tubing is great. Cant wait to see this completed.

[@marvincarter870]

Great things are happening with Robby's Model A. Rory is bending tubing like the wizard he is and Mike and Hector are welding and Shawn is like a woodpecker cutting lots of metal! Good video of this Trail Mater Team building an awesome tow truck!

[@terrygardner3031]

When this build is finished Robbie needs to let you drive it up backwards up the chute at Sand Hollow just to let everyone know who is still the king. What a fantastic build!

[@bullittdog4352]

Man…the fab videos on this channel are all business and no BS’n !

[@ourtimetorv3151]

That’s coming together beautifully. No tech, just a lot of experience and skill being demonstrated.

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

Thanks for adding to my morning ☕ Rory, Shawn, and Mike💚❣️ 🐾

[@jeffreyhuff541]

Justin is Rockin the editing,,,,,,, this is just to much fun while learning something,,,,,,,,,,,,,,❤️✌️🙏

[@chriskolin1096]

I love the recoveries but I'm having a blast watching you guys build this truck.

[@markpowell762]

I catch myself turning my head as you strike the arc....😅 Awesome build!!!!

[@kevinstarkey3660]

I closed my eyes when I first heard the sound

[@burgpath7777]

Wow. The lines on that truck are amazing! Such a cool build. Lucky for Robby!

[@mshantz3233]

i can not wait to see Robby Layton's Model AA Wrecker Build When it's all done

[@dennispalmer6007]

I was literally watching another KZbin channel when up pops Trailmater, Robby Layton wrecker build 6. Guess I’ll go back and finish the other one now.

[@Pompomgrenade]

👍🏾 all that hammering grinding and sizzle of fire bonding metal🙉 should be a soundtrack for peaceful sleep 💕

[@000622477]

I swear Mike has probably one of the top 5 voices on KZbin that I like to listen to

[@fordcougar99]

Those running boards are such a nice touch... Best build currently on YT!

[@kevinfoley7704]

I love how Mike and Shawn always find the right tool for the job. In the case of forming the fenders they used the old Rory BMI tool.

[@canyonrunner]

This is going to be a Tin Lizzie on STEROIDS wrecker. Not just art and craftmanship - but Quintessence. I am in awe.

[@jard60]

OMG . . . What a build. This is going to be the best rock crawling, rat rod tow truck ever. Great job guys!

[@penguinsgarage]

You guys are awsome. Also justin doing the editing has been amazing i love how he blends things together and does sound overlap. Keep it up guys

[@thedave513]

"The future is here." So is another fine installment. Thanks gentlemen.

[@jamessmith7691]

The more I see the more I can't wait for the yell "Master It Lives". Keep up the good work.

[@javman03]

That truck is looking fantastic fellas! The tube work is awesome. I wouldn't want to give it back to Robby either!!

[@JesusLopez-zl4ry]

Yo prayers for Hecfor and his family. Wat a scary situation coulda been the most horrific time ever . They had an angel watchin over them for sure . It reminds u never take for granted today because tomorrow might never come , hug your loved ones don't be embarrassed to say ' I love you' I tell my parents and kids everyday . Friends are like pets u have one blah blah blah then they get sick and you're like wait I'm sad I love my pet no shame in telling your true friends you love them Rory has said it on his podcast he said I won't fire them I love these guys and he's 6"5 280 😂 . So Hector God bless u man hope you all recover .

[@Bryanja81]

Rory, you’re building the coolest off road wrecker… for someone else!!! At least it’s going to a really good guy. Robby is a lucky guy.

[@jackman6256]

I think its pretty amazing how you're crew can build this truck Without help of all the machines To do fancy building It seams everyone knows what to do so it looks so fluid going together

[@Dirtworx77]

This is such an awesome build, old but new. When I was in high school we used to build Baja trucks and sand rails and on the fly make it work fab was my favorite. If it doesn’t work cut it off and try again, keep up the great work y’all.

[@susanharvey8944]

I am always amazed at how smoothly and efficiently you guys work together and seem to even enjoy working together! Great team! Fun for us to watch. Can’t believe you figured out ways to make that old truck work as a tow truck but still look like what it is!

[@tex5079]

Those rear fenders was so satisfying to watch come together. You guys are killing it.

[@1OldCutlass]

Did you guys know you could make art of this caliber? I wouldn’t blame you for a second if you didn’t give it back to Robbie. Simply gorgeous!

[@rudiekeyser2495]

Exactly

[@georgevindo]

At least your customer called to let you know. That was really good of him. Man, you guys ae really going to town on that wrecker and doing a really nice job of it. Thanks!

[@kennethgyovai737]

This is my favorite content on the KZbin right now. You guys are badass.

[@JohnInCO]

All those precision bends, cuts and fab look easy working with Rory's excellent detailed mechanical scale drawings in metric. Love watching you guys fabricate! Could watch you guys all day. Great work!

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

This is becoming such a badass rig! You should have had Hector widen the cab a few inches as well. Robby is a lucky guy!

[@steinhummer]

Mikes welds are a piece of art.

[@garyquartley1084]

Rory is a wizard on the pipe bender!!! Kudos to you, and so nice to see the teamwork and camaraderie

[@albertorozco5981]

The commentary and joking is as enjoyable as watching the build. What awesome comrades...

[@davidweidner1675]

Way to go Hector. Amazing sheet metal work on the extension cab. Howling Wolf does great work 👍

[@dtemplman7816]

Rory the bending master 👍

[@brians5791]

You guys are great. Being a guy who’s hearing is far below normal I wish I would have used hearing protection in my younger life. Take care gentleman.

[@steffmadin8003]

Rory, you and your boys make Mad Max's builders look like a beginners.

[@JeffKuhnhenn]

A greatjob of tube bending, welding and cutting with a grinder. That takes a steady hand. I had a 4" grinder pop out of my hand, go under my face shield thru my chin and damage several teeth.

[@gregb76]

Great job guys you all are moving right along on Robby's off-road wreaker. There you go Rory add the body to it.

[@RobertBrown-xt8qn]

What's not to love about a shop that has a tablet full of dimensioned sketches to streamline the process of picking a random engine to put someplace that it was never meant to go! I gotta respect that. I am so impressed with the way you are building the new to follow the lines of the old. Throwing a little respect to an old pioneer off-road vehicle that worked every day in the mud and rocks and water long before on-road vehicles were a thing because roads were the exception not the rule. Awesome work!

[@DrHilux]

This is a cool build! Those back fenders and the twinwheels are taking it to an estetical level that is just legendary! -quote Barney Stinson- I'l dont know how robby is gonna paint this, but this wil bee an internet head turner for many years to come

[@bradleymadosh911]

Rory I can't Believe how good Robby's Tow truck is starting to look. Wow I didn't see what you saw in the beginning of this build but now I do. I'm glad you are the one Building it had my doubts about it at first but you Proved me wrong 😂 awesome job

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

Really enjoy the mix of recovery and fabrication episodes. Thanks for sharing.

[@kfd629]

Just good dudes doing good for other people! It’s easy to see the dedication and passion in their hands. You guys are awesome! Keep ‘er up fellas!!

[@kellyclasen1667]

This tow truck that you’re building is going to be one incredible vehicle. You might have to keep this one for yourself and give Robbie something else. I believe his truck is going to be what are the best things that you’ve ever built keep up the great Contant love your channel.

[@flyingmachinecustomparts8227]

Go FORD !!!! Love this Layton build

[@donwilliams3626]

Thanks Hector for your assistance. You guys make tubing bending look easy! Robbie's rear fenders were molded to fit perfectly. Looking forward seeing the boom fashioned from a car chassis too.

[@Trailmaterrocks]

This build has been worth the wait.

[@paulbell1522]

WHY ARE WE EVEN LOOKING AT THAT????? Lmao!!! Classic Rory.

[@garycook1772]

Not only are the wide fenders functional work tables, they look awesome !!

[@LUNITICWILL]

this is definitely one of my favorite builds on YT right now. only other ones being Rob Dahm''s 12 rotor and Brandon Herrera's AK50

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

Team Trail Mater is doing an awesome job. God Bless. Be safe please 😊

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

If there's a demolition derby at the wrecker games, Robby will win!

[@Doogie_Causey]

Thanks for the video Trail Mater, Dirtbilly Deluxe & Howlin Wolf Garage

[@kevbev1524]

Nice to see it coming together during the slow winter days of recovering are upon us all. Hopefully recoveries pick up just as you finish this, like it was meant to be aunt Bee. 🎉😂❤

[@tymatt89]

RORY!! I know you say you don't like building rigs much anymore, but you guys do good work! This build looks great so far

[@notgoingtodoit]

At this point it's quite clear that Rory's eyecronometer has been set to the industry standard of "dead on balls accurate". Awesome work gentlemen!

[@jakemasters5203]

Very impressed at how Rory has the tube bending down to a science. Can you imagine the amount of wasted pipe to get to that point? 😂. Nice work guys!

[@Larrysjeep]

Another awesome video you guys are so entertaining while fabricating and making it look easy. Keep’em coming!

[@nocrackhere]

That 1932 F 350 looks great!!

[@kerryhickman2235]

Y'all are doing an excellent job on Robbie's truck! It looks amazing!!

[@TheAdventureKean]

Arm chair quarterback here. Love the build and you are totally awesome at what you are doing. From my chair, I would love it if you would talk to us more and explain what you are working on. Oh, and don’t stop after this build. Make a project and do it weekly at least once a year. These are really entertaining watching you work.

[@davidbeach6947]

I love watching you guys build things. What you’re doing with Robbie’s tow truck is flat out amazing Actually beyond amazing. Being an accountant who can’t create anything other than tax structures I love watching you guys build. Even Mike’s camper, as it comes along. Trail Mater was already built but loved watching you create Ol’Blue too😊
