Saving A Couple Toyotas

I got a late afternoon call for a Toyota that had broken a brake line out on the Potash Road towards the Shafer Switchbacks. Nowhere had a brake line that late in the day so I took Big D in to grab it and get it out to a repair shop. It was a long bumpy ride but it went well. Then Shawn and Mike took the White Dodge and the Offroad Rollback and went up on Bears Ears to get a FJ-80 that had a standard lower ball joint failure. They went in and repaired it so they could drive it down to the trailer then haul it back to Moab. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

[@thomascaldwell184]

I like how Rory went down the road to find a spot to turn around vs. driving OFF THE TRAIL! I hope everyone is paying attention. I want these trails open forever.

[@mbukukanyau]

Rory is very disciplined and his livelihood depends on these trails being open and people buying Toyotas with faith and devotion.

[@Gizmo42Rodeo]

Even more so since that area is within Canyonlands National Park.

[@DonaldTremaine]

The scenery never gets dull when going for a ride with you

[@beaverc2884]

I agree 😊😊

[@Angel-hd2rs]

Absolutely! It makes me want to go to Utah!

[@Dave-ei7kk]

I like being a ride along to see the scenery and the recovery. 😊

[@Tom-bo2wj]

Mike an Shawn unsupervised is always interesting to watch. Never know what might happen 😂😂😂😂😂

Their video shows the boss they were actually working not just on a pleasure cruise.

[@matthewpeck4016]

I super appreciate the driver of that Honda, who immediately realized they needed not to be on the inside of your turn. There are like... three people on the planet who intuit that.

[@TassyDeval]

Probably a truckie.

[@ToddSaw]

I thought Rory calling it Thelma and Louise Point was kind of cute. Then I looked it up, it's actually where the scene was filmed for the movie. Cool.

[@trubass75]

Soared right on through 250k to 251k subscribers in a few weeks. Congrats on the success, Rory. As always, thanks for bringing us along.

[@scuss2]

I mentioned that to them a few days ago. If you would be so kind to share Trailmater videos and those people subscribe, then we need to get Rory to 500k subs by the time he gets married in October. He would be extremely grateful for that kind of support, and it would make a great wedding present from his fans.

[@alfonslemel5745]

It takes more than subs, it also requires eyeballs per video and the length of time those eyeballs view the content - hence the clickbait tactics and strategic editing many channels employ with hyped titles and thumbnails designed to encourage this. Offering free recoveries in exchange for being filmed is another tactic. Some other off road channels are no longer primarily recovery companies, they have morphed into $youtube$ content outfits. Personally, I'm not into rock crawling - many aren't - so I feel that the difficult Moab terrain per rescue which necessitates this is limiting engagement with a wider audience. I watch for the banter and scenery - not the underside of trucks caressing the rocks. :)

[@scuss2]

@@alfonslemel5745 Sometimes I have to turn down the volume as I too get tired of the noise but love the scenery and as you say the banter. This channel isn't fake, It's not "Hollywood" it's real, raw footage. It's not scripted. Rory helped a local Moab Tour Company twice last year with their Hummers. I went to their site and read their disclaimer. All I can do is watch the videos, I can't even be a passenger in the tour or other rigs because of my spinal disability. Casey Ladelle has a few videos on how You Tube works, and it works well for him, and every day is a new experience. Their employment is hard work then their You Tube employment is also hard work. For me and probably others, You Tube is our entertainment. Some days I'm on You Tube 15 hours a day, 1st with my subscribed content and then You Tube recommendations. Just wished I knew at an earlier age when You Tube was another self employment opportunity.

[@tedfisk1211]

TrailMater should be at 500K. Great videos.

[@johnnyadams1755]

Mike and Shawn show does not disappoint. Recovery, scenery, and wildlife. And that's not counting Mike and Shawn.😂

[@randyengle7691]

Thought Mike and Shawn were the wildlife😂

[@scuss2]

We must not forget Justin to produce a collaboration video. Trailmater then the comedy ending with the Mike and Shawn Show. Why only 16 minutes? Leave more "bloopers" in the videos, just beep out the expletive words.

Do Not make eye contact.......

Gotta love those ponderosa pines!!! If I remember correctly, the easiest way to identify them is that they look like that.😅😂

You have the best office on the planet and I'm sure the video doesn't do it justice. That landscape is absolutely stunning.

[@MLHebner]

I think Utah is the most beautiful state! That’s the main reason I watch your channel. To see the beauty!!! Incredible!!! Keep showing us more.

[@Suki_the_half_blue]

I really love that you show cool things around where you're working IE that tree and flowers . Makes you feel like you're there and it adds an extra special element to the vids ❤

I do like the fact that even though the guys are always in or around beautiful nature, they always take the time to share with us and still appreciate a good "nature moment"! !! !!!

[@jamesbigham9036]

Just a suggestion maybe u guys should make a recovery check list of things u need before leaving the shop. Number 1 impact gun. Number 2 battery for impact gun very important. I love your videos just trying to be helpful 😂😂😂

Listening to Mike is 👍 way better than any squeaks, rattles, music... Amazing views 👍 to think how much water flowed thru to form it. 🤓

[@shnrbtlle18]

Hey Rory I know you're a big tough guy I loved watching your show because I love watching the truck you built, Tow Mater. Seeing your other trucks is great but towMater is the reason I watched your shows from the start. Love the show, just love tomater more than any of the other trucks. I'm a recovery specialist myself and that truck is very impressive and I learn a lot from you while you're using that truck and that means a lot to me. And that guy that painted your truck green did a very nice job on the paint but it should have been blue after all the truck's name is blue. There, that's all my truth. Great video bro LOL

[@reddog543211]

Oh yeah.....other recovery great as well !!

[@clivehorridge]

Those lower arm retaining studs on the 80 Series are often “misunderstood” by some, they have collets which fall out wage the nuts come loose and drop off, and folks forget or don’t know to replace them. My old 80 has them doused in locktite and they’ve never come loose in almost 600k km. Love my 30 year-old 4.2 diesel 80 though, like a child. 🤣❤️🇷🇴

[@albertorozco5981]

Props to you Rory. You endanger your life all the time with these recoveries. So much could go wrong and those are some steep canyons. Stay safe brother 👍

[@scuss2]

Hey Rory, since your Big D rides like my Big Dorf can you put those "liquid Shocks" on the truck to maybe make your ride a little softer? How about some air ride bucket seats? 12:54 2 fencing staples and 3 nails. Someone musta removed the "Beware of Bears sign"? 13:12 nice flowers Mike. Any plant with clusters of 3 leaves, well, they are nice to look at, but I won't touch them. I have seen the flower before but don't know the name. As always, your commentary and advertising of the areas around Moab, nice views. If people get tired of the party animals in the rock crawling parks there is peace and quiet in the mountains. I finally figured out what an Off Road rollback is, I have one in my backyard but without a winch on the front. Duh! LOL!

[@MrMarkcblack]

Love the show, Mike and Shawn Rock. Tell Mike the Spider Bull was killed on Monroe above Richfield. Not Elk Ridge!!

[@skyepilotte11]

[@thomasleonard9685]

Tory sounded tired - exhausted- when he towed that Toyota. Take care of yourself bro

[@campy9712]

Another great video from the Trail Mater team. The second vehicle is very poorly maintained, who goes out that far in a vehicle like that! The breakdown and abandonment of it is proof! I guess it keeps you guys employed, and makes for great content that you share with us. Thank you!

[@Phildoh]

For reference Rory, Mike and Shawn, when the gas light comes on in the fj80's they still has 5 gallons left, so approximately 50 miles on paved roads. Just a tad of info to remember when needed. The gasoline models all hold 25 gallons in the primary tank. Auxiliary tanks are slowly becoming more common, but oem is what you'll typically find. Also, bumper bolts are a trail fix of someone loses a front caliper bolt. @Rory

[@markreed2576]
