Trailmater Is Still The Best At What It Does

Trailmater is my primary reason for watching this channel... don't change a thing on that beauty.

[@andiehyde3714]

She still works good eh?

I don't understand why people complain about what rig you use. You use the right tool for the job and it's always entertaining for us.

[@mudfun3703]

​@@papaturd3581Only the diamond bill rock pecker's. Everything else is not true.

[@Kmkboyz15]

I just think people don't understand that some rigs are just too big or too heavy/wide for some trails. People just just want to see the cool flashy rigs, while not understanding this is rory job, and he has to choose what's practical.

[@bobjustbob5220]

Trailmater is the KING of off road recovery, hands down!

Yep. That wrecker has become an icon.

Mike, from a viewers' perspective, your videography makes everything so real. Thank you. 👍

Trailer wheel drive: the 100% solution for a 2% (at best) problem. Looks like creativity won the day here.

[@Jeepitall1985]

Driving Cliffhanger with an empty trailer is monumental! Hauling a broken, oversized SXS out is almost an impossibility! You guys are legendary! The video does not do that trail justice. It is one of my favorites in Moab! Well done Team Trailmater!

[@matthewmuellner]

And in the dark!

[@ewxlt]

I have done CH in a Jeep. This here is 3x more terrifying!

[@craigr6763]

Rope drive! I think I learn something every time I watch! Crazy trail ! Mater took it look a champ

[@utahradioman]

The places that Trailmater can go, absolutely blows my mind! Over seriously rocky terrain where "Normal" vehicles can't possibly negotiate, and towing a trailer too? Unbelievable! Incredible skills Rory!!!💯💪👍

[@joemcintyre2090]

TrailMater has a special kind of magic that other rigs don't have.

[@josephprentice8354]

I'd put a $1 on the special magic isn't the rig it's the operator. I'd also assume that rory was once like lily in a chevy truck. Watching his dad operate and taking mental notes.

[@joemcintyre2090]

@@josephprentice8354 Very true I see a big difference when one of the other guys drive it.

[@meeeee9407]

Trail Mater is a tool, sculpted by its artist to perform a job. Rory, is not only an artist, but also an elite athlete able to maneuver an 8ft wide manual rig down trails that Jeep Rubicon owners struggle with; all while pulling a golf cart on a trailer. Props to the under appreciated artist and his team.

[@kingsrealm2]

You should be proud of that recovery. Trailmater certainly can get the job done.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

My favorite recovery team. Never miss an episode. 😊

[@michaelenewold9225]

Trailmater is the KING, don't change a thing!!

[@joeanco1993]

Rory, I don't care what the critics say. That was a fantastic recovery. And you got everything out and no life lost. That's the main thing. 👍

[@jimg8164]

Trailmater is the GOAT, If it ain't broke...

[@mikebaum4152]

Rory's knowledge and ability to "fly by the seat of his pants" is unrivaled by anybody in the recovery business, flat out, bar none. Great video. I very much appreciate your sharing you hard earned experience with us. BRAVO...

[@andiehyde3714]

I absolutely agree with 100% However, I have watched him run a lathe and stand on me, he has some room for improvement.

[@johndoe248]

... only comment I have is the trailer tire and winch trick was freakin genius..

[@chrisE815]

Timestamp?

[@MaryJaneCasper-l3d]

My husband drove big wreckers for 30 years. You go places he is in awe of. Your comments about arm chair drivers is spot on. We enjoy your videos

[@jmwarden1]

Rory, that one tough trail to be towing a side-by-side up and down the hills, job well done as usual.

[@williamglaser6577]

Trailmater is trail tested perfection, change nothing on it. Thanks for no crappy music.

[@hoosierdude7102]

Amen! Listening to the big block rumble, the chassis squeak, the tires chirp and squeal, and the trailer bounce is infinitely better than the same filler music most channels use.

[@davevoorhees5994]

Absolutely, once in awhile there is some decent music on channels but for the most part it’s only annoying

[@patriciabrown4906]

Love it with NO MUSIC

[@stevethomas4095]

Don't listen to the comments you know what your doing. Bunch of of people you will have to recover soon anyway.

Rory and Trailmater are the perfect duo!

[@johnpence8529]

Rory is a master at picking a line and Mike is a master at capturing it all on camera. Great vjob guys!

[@stevenparker9770]

That trailer wheel drive with the winch was pure mad genius right there. I’m always learning something watching you guys. That was awesome!!!

[@jonathanhannon3228]

[@clinthorn1443]

I really hate we missed you a couple of weeks ago but enjoyed talking to Mike, I have a new respect for what you do after having a member of our group rollover in Pritchett Canyon and towing him out, the winch on the trailer tire had me shaking my head thinking that was brilliant!!!!

[@robdurfee5110]

Rory Thank you for recovering my "GOLF CART" off Cliff Hanger and Dropping it off at Moab SxS for Dustin to repair. You're the man it looked like a challenging recovery for you.

[@snowpatrol685]

puyallup here. i'm not a 4 wheeler, but i love the videos. they do some dang cool stuff !!

[@stuartofJax]

I’m impressed with the driving of a stick shift wrecker up and down those trails especially when towing. It takes a lot of skill to control the combination of throttle, clutch and brakes. It would be interesting to have a side by side screenshot of the obstacle and the footwork involved in overcoming that obstacle.

[@birddog435]

The runner just happened to trip in front of the only camera in miles!!! 😂

Rory, the majority of the people that send the comments that say why don’t you do this or that are people that probably don’t do any off-roading, NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE. But there’s an old saying easier said then done. Rory works with the mentality that nothing is impossible and he just gets it done. Great job guys!!!!!😅

[@pat8988]

Probably not criticisms as much as random thoughts & questions from people who just don't know. I'm glad Rory tells us about these posts as it answers questions that I've had. That was a challenging recovery!

[@sgj4aj]

​@@matthewmuellner get yourself premium, I watch everything ad free. Well worth it. Since KZbin is my entertainment and dumped garbage cable a long long time ago, my entertainment budget can absorb the monthly charge to avoid all the garbage ads, and the channels I watch get a small percentage of my KZbin premium charges.

[@sgj4aj]

​@@matthewmuellnerRich? $0.004 cent (4/10 of one cent) per view, 1,829,000 views in the past month is roughly $7,300 +/- per month, less taxes is $5,500 +/- per month. This can change every month based on the amount of ad revenue KZbin received in a given time. Then there is employee costs. If it was not for Merchandise sales, he would be upside down. This is why he charges for his recoveries. KZbin creators are not a bunch of money bags like you seem to think... You are an idiot for even making your comment, an uneducated idiot at that.

[@erictownsend4236]

Rory, A few years ago, I came across a video of yours showing Trail Mater towing a jeep. I was SO amazed! Front dig? First time I had seen that! One of the things that impressed me the most was your video of how Trail Mater came to be, from a heavy duty pick-up to Mater. After watching more of your video's, I came across Fab Rats and Morr. Both also great to watch. As the years passed, all three channels grew. Great! Very happy for all! But as they grew, so did their income to now build rigs their audience could not afford. Here I will also include Cleetus McFarland. Started out with a stripped corvette with a ?4.3 in it, now he has $20.000 engines built, and blows them up in 10 minutes! The Wrecker Games were Great! Fantastic! Other than that, I have stopped watching all these channels, until today, when Trail Mater was front and center again! Again, this is only my thoughts on the progression of these channels. I can hardly afford to keep my 2004 GMC Pick-up and 2013 4Runner in good condition. Rory, I live in New Hampshire, you and Trail Mater were my 1st intro into off-roading out west. And I still consider you the BEST! And wish the best to you, Fab Rats, and Morr! Eric!

[@edwardrosco8239]

Like you said, that recovery was a workout. I agree, and in the dark just added to the challenge. 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 for entertainment value, and that's why I watch you guys. Be safe and don’t change anything, you have an award winning formula in your show content.
