Toyota Blocking Kane Creek Trail

We went into Kane Creek Trail from the top to help get a truck that was blocking the trail. From the top is the quickest way in, but it put us on the wrong side to pick it up. So we got creative to move it to a wide spot in the road so traffic could pass and we could get in front to pick it up. We carried it up to the parking lot below Hamburger Hill. The rain was coming in hard so we left it there and got out. Parts were ordered and showed up the next morning, me and Lilli went in and we repaired it so they could drive it out. I didn't get any videos of the repairs and we went out a different route then they did. So hopefully you all enjoy the video we did get. Thanks everyone for the support.

I wanted to see hamburger hill so i started at chicken corners start and gave up like a quarter mile in. My tacoma’s health was not worth the risk and i was coming from the easy way. These guys took a loaded tacoma down the difficult end and required your services. Lesson learned in the most painful way possible.

Watching Trail Mater tow a Rig through areas that Rigs break going through alone is awesome , before watching these videos I would have said No Way anyone could do this ! you made Trail Mater into one heck of a Rig and prove it can be done time after time and without breaking , and the camera work was awesome too ! thanks for taking us along for the ride

[@hondolane3125]

Oh, 'Mater breaks once in a while. But Rory can fix it, and still get him and the client out. Loved his explanation of why he runs leaf springs, on the video where he broke the driver's rear spring. He has the parts and tools to fix it good enough to drive out at a normal pace. Not so easy when coil-overs break.

[@MrGaryGG48]

@@hondolane3125 In one of Rory's commentaries, he mentioned that he prefers his "over-load air bags" with leaf springs to coil-overs, because he always has a back up if one or the other breaks on a trail. The coil-overs are a good system on "over the road" vehicles but when you're out in the sticks they aren't durable enough.

[@chrismartin223]

What an amazing job! That rain made those trails treacherous so people need to be afraid. :) Thank you for sharing that its not always sunshine in Utah, and that everybody can get locked out of their cars. Maybe Rory should make a "build-series" where he produces and talks about custom tools that might be handy to do rescues in harsh environments. The Caliper-spacer is a good idea. And maybe some thing to "melt-together" a skid-plate-assembly, to use parts on the TrailMater. Maybe also something to compress the suspension on RockCrawlers, so it is easier to avoid rubbing the ground while towing the Crawler out along a trail. And thank you for putting dad and Lilli first, by dropping filming the next day :)

Been offroad in all aspects my whole life , you dont come across to many many people like him. Trail mater and rory are the real trail heroes, and without guys like him to come to the rescue this sport would die out, want to thank all the guys that put themselves in harms way sometimes putting their own life on the line to rescue not only our rigs but in some cases the passenger’s themselves from bad situations.

Nice recovery. Sometimes the best tool you have is the one between the ears, to come up with the best way out of a difficult situation. The front dig is one of the best helpers I've seen for turning around. New truck engineers don't think about what they are disabling when one part breaks & shutting off other stuff, just leaving people more disabled.
