Ol Blue Gets A Doubler

This is an overview of the installation of an Offroad Designs 203/205 doubler into Ol Blue. This gives us an additional low range for lower gearing. This will help keep the automatic transmission in this truck a little happier when we are out working it on the trails while maintaining the ability to drive down the highway. Plus we had a mud recovery while we were doing that. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Can't wait to see how Ol Blue performs with the T-Case upgrades... With lockers it will be truly unstoppable!!

[@shaneharrison4775]

True but ole trailmater is a standard and that is pretty much unstoppable Ivan kind of like you with your diags very good.

[@maxironpaw]

Once upon a time, it was all about stretchy ropes. Now everybody's got a wrecker, everybody's got a welder. everybody's doing trail repairs, and don't forget trailers without suspensions. Next, everyone will be backing up. Rory, you sure have been the head cheese of off-road recovery.

[@maxironpaw]

Rory, if you start wearing a Cox .049 engine-powered propeller on a beanie, the other channels will start wearing them, too. Well, maybe not Chad since not as much for him to wire.

Quicksand is real, not just something on Gilligan's Island

[@lancerevell5979]

Yep, we have it here in Florida, in addition to various types of mud. Red clay mud, black swamp mud, grey clay mud, sand mud, etc. All can stop a stout 4X4 truck.

[@edwardscott3262]

Most movies and TV tropes have some tiny sliver of truth. Quicksand is real but nothing like it's played out to be in fiction. Water and sand are denser than humans so humans float rather than sink. People die from it from being stuck in it without help not because they completely sunk in it. Similar with lava, melted gold, liquid metal. No one is ever going to sink into lava or the others like something out of a movie. Their deaths would be much more graphic as they burned to death on the surface. On a similar note Billy the Kid did like to see people dance but he was pretty stupid and called people gut shot and squirming in pain "dancing". A lot more sadistic than the TV and movie tropes would suggest.

[@mahbriggs]

Or Tarzan movies!

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

But, Gilligan's island was real. ... Right? 🤔

[@LarsDennert]

@@outlawbillionairez9780 this was filmed on Gilligan's island. Guess who the skipper is.

[@MarkWYO]

It's gonna something to see Ol' Blue go from just a 4x4 into something like Trail Maters long lost crawler brother.. you guys do not just entertain us. You all teach us. Enjoy your weekend, everybody.

[@DeeRebel44]

Love seeing Ole Blue getting some upgrades. Each truck has its purpose, and you guys fix them to the point that they can do their jobs well. Thanks for another great video!!

[@samspade7360]

What gets me is the way you guys drop, add and combine pieces parts seemingly off the top of your heads, and it all meshes together and works! Nice engineering! 😁👍

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

Don’t get me wrong KZbin, Trail Mater will always be the soul of the channel but i think Ol Blue might just be the heart now. Blue is my personal favourite vehicle here on Rory’s channel.

[@LonC1966]

Looking forward to seeing Old Blue out rescuing people and being much more capable of doing so in your terrain.

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Really like the doubler upgrade. Glad Shawn didn't get stuck in the mud stuff.😊

[@shelliedea45]

I absolutely love how you never make the customers feel embarrassed of disrespected. I don't know how you do t have more followers 🥰

[@loosemoose9799]

Rory, just make sure that Mater doesn't become jealous of Ol' Blue.

[@aprilhilliard3302]

"Nothin' but the finest for us!"...and that is why we love you soooooo much!

[@bobvincent4841]

Ol Blue just graduated to the next level. Blue Mater

[@scottnelson1713]

Thanks for this one. I love your rescues up on the 8 and 9 rated trails, but I like watching you fix things like the blue wrecker too. I really enjoyed this one.

[@timpowell3255]

Happy to see Ol'Blue get some attention ! I know He's not Trailmater, but he is a good old work horse for you. And holly cow them folks sure did find the stickiest softest spot to get stuck in. Glad to see Sean an Mike are doin well also. Thanks for sharing your adventures with everyone Sir ! ✌️❤️🙏

[@DownNDirty_OffRoad]

We don't need no stinking instructions!!🤣 Love watching y'all in the shop, had a great time there when I stopped by!😃 Thanks for the doubler video!!🤛 Bless you Mike.

[@marvincarter870]

Love this old Blue getting upgrades she needed for awhile. She'll be much more capable now and mater can get a break now and then.

[@cummins198389]

I really enjoyed seeing the installation of the ORD 203/205 doubler! That’s awesome!

[@dennispalmer6007]

Noticed Mater, and Wiley leaving the shop for a recovery with wheels on the ground. Then for the return their loading on the trailer. Scratching my head over that one.

[@dennisl6198]

B roll....

[@trailmater]

I'm so confused... We literally drove away from the trailer... Then drove back on it at the end. We didn't have the cameras rolling when we backed off the trailer, but you literally see my white dodge and the gooseneck right there as we head out...

[@berserkir]

Glad to see it getting built up, but I'll forever be surprised how good Blue did basically stock. Rory climbed some wild obstacles with open diffs and stock transfer case!

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

That mud almost looked like the quick sand we encountered on a trek in '88 during Labor Day Jeep Safari. I nearly lost a shoe when I stepped in it. The next day when we had to drive out on it, we just went as quickly as possible and didn't stop til on dry land!

[@edshoprag5738]

THANK YOU me and old blue ty , FINALY you showing us some love . just a few more tools and old blue will be the next best thing. wheels and tire some day we hope

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

Good morning Trail Mater team💚❣️ Like #10

[@thomasfletcher760]

#24 for me

Mike the cultured gentlemen that he is reminds Rory to never let the streams cross 😂😂😂

[@wesgraham9588]

Old blue has DLB’s 😮👍👏👏👏👏

[@brentwalker1374]

Like seeing old blue getting attention!!

[@NachoMama863]

Only Rory Irish can combine clay and metal to bring a recovery vehicle to life.

[@patrickboos1919]

Shawn has the best laugh that help make the show great . Keep up the great work thank you .

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

So rad to see Ole Blue to get the doubler! that is a game changer! also great mud recovery. Man that was goopy underneath.

[@2WheelKam]

I can't believe Rory saw that Durango where it was stuck. I would've driven right on by! He's got his head on a swivel!

[@ridestreet20]

I like how Rory mentioned his Dodge 203 because I had a company build me what I believe to be the world's first and only Dodge Doubler.

[@trailmater]

Offroad Design has been building doublers for dodges for decades.

[@ridestreet20]

@@trailmater maybe but I can bolt a new process transfer case to a motorhome 727.

[@GiantRiderRob]

hahah that was CRAZY mud. Can't wait to see ole babe the blue truck run on the new setup.

[@katreniaclark]

Great that Ol blue is out of the shop and running properly and BETTER now. Very interesting recovery too.

[@RandalFmNZ]

Have no idea at all what you are doing in the workshop but I love watching you talk it through. Nice work.

[@roostingthe6520]

That was a cool shot in front of shop sign with truck and sun going down.

[@glennbayley5863]

Thank you for the brilliant and interesting video 📸 looking forward to see the truck in operation. 👍👏🇺🇲👍🇬🇧👍👏

[@Burke_Motorsports]

Old Blue getting some new bits and bobs! I see a ray of light from heaven and angels singing.

[@Mick_A_Knuckle]

Okay, that "Cowl Induction 427" badge on Blue's hood is pretty damn cool.

[@TheBnbonthebeach]

Good to see old blue get some love

[@EnufIsTooMuch]

You guys digging into those boxes are like kids on Christmas opening up their gifts!

[@jeeperken87]

Man, I need that adapter hanging on my wall. Beautiful piece

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

Crisp cookie outside... Tasty nougat center!

[@TheBibliofilus]

Rory needs to put the theme to Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers as his phone signal, that would set the mood when working in the shop and his phone goes off!

[@francesrice7898]

I love this channel. It never fails to make me laugh and learn something. 😁❤️🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏❤️👍👍

[@deborahabc4117]

No doubt I would benefit more from watching makeup tutorials but watching this channel is more interesting and fun.

Ole Blue getting some love, She a beast.. You guys are awesome, I laugh mao

Hey Rory /// Shawn & Mike !!! Great to see the work on ""OL"" Blue for sure !!! 🤔🙃😊 Guess the ""Lockers "" will be added later ??? 🙄😏👀👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍

[@ricoolivier]

Friends helping can be soooo unhelpful, but it sure does bring a smile to the mind and face!!! Fantastic as always! Blue is the BOMB!

[@lonhoschar1943]

Great video!! Excellent demonstration of what a day is "really" like. Shop work, recovery, back to the shop work. Probably had a meal break or two thrown in there someplace too!! Old Blue is going to feel like a new truck with all that power!! LOL!!

[@richard3141592638]

When you leave the shop for the recovery, need the batman music or something ... Trailmater signal in the sky? Lol. That was crazy soft/liquid mud. Thanks for sharing. Good to see blue out and about

[@AFloridaSon]

That mud below the surface, definitely looks like a great place to get stuck.😮 😂

[@bobtucker8875]

Well I'm glad to see ole Blue getting some lov 💕😊. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephenmitrovits7459]

Thank you Guys for these entertaining and very informative shows. Every morning the first thing I do is look for the latest from you and Mat. I am so happy that I came across your shows some 9 months ago. Since than I introduced my friends to it too. I love the scenery as welll as the work that you Guys do. Wish that I could go to your country, but at 87 I just have to dream about it. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@mattc.310]

Ol Blue is coming along. Love the apology to OD. If it works, it works.

[@stephenpoe2037]

I like the videos of Repairs/Upgrades in the shop ! I have never seen a Mud Hole like that ! Yuck ! Thanks for sharing !

Ol blue is gonna be a beast. Can't wait to see the function testing on those heart dropping trails.

[@wheelinchronicles]

I can’t thank you enough for this video. This just gave my wife a real world visual of the triple stick 4 wheel drive thingy I’ve been begging for. We’re now budgeting my Burbs triple stick in now that she sees how it works. Another high school wheeler gets his front diganator thanks to Rory 😂

[@damonmcnab5588]

Awesome video today Rory Shawn and Mike

[@michaellauer3397]

The ORD shifter(s) usually have three( count them, three) holes to mount the shift shaft rod(s). Using the holes further away from the pivot will shorten the “throw” of your shifter. PLUS, your boot will have less leverage on the shifter. Win, win

[@brihno360]

NICE- got that transfer case situation handled!

[@melsjunk2645]

Morale support goes a long ways Mike lol

Hey Congrats on the doubler for Old Blue I'm sure that is gonna make a Big difference. Thanks for the video guy's
