Rolled Gladiator On Pritchett

We were called by a customer to retrieve their rolled Gladiator on Pritchett Canyon Trail. We were misinformed on the exact whereabouts of the vehicle so we came in the back way thinking we would be closer to getting it out. Wasn't the case, so we proceeded to drive down the trail from the top. Not the way I would've wanted to do it, but once there it was the quickest way in. We didn't get alot of footage coming out since the sun went down and we didn't have any lighting. Still got it out and got it back to the customer. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

When Rory says there is nothing good about this, you know it has to be pretty sketch. The fact he takes the wrecker down backwards and navigated the jeep down says everything about his wisdom, knowledge and experience.

[@tufalike1796]

Rory and crew, I am a fan of Matt because of what he does in the sand dunes but, man! your recoveries are on a whole different level! This is beyond "just recovery", this is skills, experience and bravery all in one! And you do it all without swearing... in short: you guys are AWESOME! THANK YOU for filming and taking us on your hair-raising jobs while at the same time enjoying the magnificent views in Utah.

I don't like wheeling with people who never get scared, it means they don't understand the risks involved.

[@searchgrandjunctionrealestate]

Part of the joy, fun and exhilaration of doing wheeling is that you get to face your fears and choose wisdom to keep you safe. I greatly appreciate Rory's humility and honor around the sport.

Hi Rory, I love the “ this obstacle freaks me out and makes me really anxious. So I’m going to do it in reverse”. 😂 Thanks for explaining why you do it that way. Great jobs guys. Stay safe out there. 😎🇬🇧

The big wrecker going in all cautious and backwards reminds me of Tantor from Tarzan when he enters the "questionable water" LOL!

Oh Yeah! That little bouncy ride at "15:35" would definitely have broken the needle on my "Pucker Meter!!!" I can't criticize Rory for running the tape twice... that was borderline spectacular... then he just turned around at the bottom and drove away. ;^)

[@cunever]

There is this age old fact that it’s way more difficult to get down from a mountain than up (see: Mount Everest) Rory however found the perfect solution: you just go down backwards, this way you’re always pointing up! The proof is in the pudding, err, the video!!!

[@donschilling183]

[@wheelieking71]

"If your not a little scared, your an idiot".......... Well spoken! But, fear is where one finds the fun. Trust me, I know this. Been riding Dirt-Bikes over 40 years. The secret is: fear can almost always be conquered with common-sense, and experience. Common-sense tells you how much fear to tolerate "this time". Experience lets you push that limit just a little farther "next time". Rory, your experience is blatantly obvious! Your level of comfort and composure, and chosen strategy, in every situation speaks volumes about your well earned knowledge and abilities. I absolutely LOVE the videos! Thank you for sharing!

[@moparman1962]

Rory...you are one heck of a trail/obstacle driver, spotter and off road recovery specialist (you back over obstacles better than most crawler drivers negotiate them going forward) and Trail Mater is one heck of a machine. We can't wait to see what you build for Robby Layton that is similarly capable, he definitely needs something amazing to do recoveries with. Matt from Matt's Off Road Recovery is building an amazing trail recovery wrecker right now and so is Paul from Fab Rats so you will all have very capable specialty recovery vehicles. Thanks for the great videos!

Rory takes the frustration of the misinformation pretty well. As I’ve gotten older I’ve had much more trouble controlling frustration so it’s really impressive how well Rory is able to take the emotion out of this recovery. Another great video showing how people are driving beyond both the capability of their rigs and their own skill set. Fortunately they have Rory to come get them out of trouble.

[@barotraumabruce4245]

I’m glad you said this about Rory’s handling of the frustration. I would have had a conniption!

I realize that this video is one year ago, but I often watch trailmater videos multiple times. There isn’t a single video where I am not impressed by the skills of Sean, Mike, and Rory as you guys take the TrailMater and jeeps in places that would make me pucker up and just hang on for dear life. The places you take your tow-truck are just amazing, and Mike does a phenomenal job of capturing the skillful driving of Rory and Sean. Amazing recovery in getting the gladiator recovered, as it appeared to be one driven from the showroom floor to a tire store to get new wheels and tires, and then out onto the trail. Mike did a great job in a vehicle he hadn’t driven before, and Sean always makes it look easy in the JK.

[@jaytee66]

[@bernieshort6311]

That was an impressive recovery Guys, outstanding vehicle operation throughout. I was impressed with each of your driving skills, and I must admit a little concerned for you Rory when you backed Trail Mater down, but you had it all in hand. For you to show concern means the ride is going to be tricky. You are an amazing team and I love the way you go first Rory and then see the rest of the team through with safe lines. Another fine recovery and excellent straightening skills on the rear track bar of the victim vehicle. Stay awesome guys and thanks for the video.
