Gold Bar Waterfall Recovery & Repair

[@jberg8159]

The more I watch this channel, the more impressed I get with Rory, his driving and mechanic skills, and trail Mater. Rory, you are an incredibly intelligent and talented man! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@billcooper2584]

Ditto what J BERG said!!

[@rodpasichnyk9140]

💯

[@TheRinger1976]

Agreed... the fact that the Jeep driver wasn't present when Rory arrived lead me to believe that a trail fix wasn't gonna happen... even if Rory had the tool to remove the lugs, he wasn't expected to get it working enough to have it drive out.... Seeing how torqued over the wheel was from being pinched by that boulder (it looks like it was rotated at least 30 degrees along the axle from where the knuckle lines up) it was a Tetris puzzle just getting it un-hung in the first place (when that boulder loosened up, my mind went to that James Franco movie... take care Rory) Regardless, what's important to know here is that Trail Mater is a mobile repair shop for high end crawlers... and this crawler was proper jammed up... I typed out half of this shit before I even finished watching the vid... that's how excited I get for this content... To detect the cause of these problems from the forensic evidence you were provided was like watching the Sherlock Holmes of overlanding mechanics. You had that shit figured out at the first pan of the camera. Truth. Good to know there are innovators like you out there keepin us inspired. For real, if the shit hits the fan, I wanna be on team Rory. I really have no idea what I'm talking about... just enjoy learning from this channel... thanks for the content man

[@KarlGottshalk]

Agree

[@IUSE4LO]

yeah I almost hope I break on the trail out there in September just so I can meet Rory! 🤣

[@laurelrowe5536]

Most people likely did not pick up in the lone ranger/Tonto greeting at the start of the video. I loved it. A side kick is exactly what the show needed.

[@lornemarr]

I love Sean’s sense of humour. I have Salish friends who delight in double meaning witticisms. When I see them standing there grinning from ear to ear, eyes twinkling, then I know I have missed the other half of the joke and they are waiting to see how long it takes me to tumble to. If I don’t get it in a minute or so they will let me off the hook with a hint that makes it even more hilarious. I look forward to more of such from you guys.

[@tyendor1952]

I sure like the camera up on top of the boom, it gives a good sense of where we're headed and what the obstacles are. This channel just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the good work Rory.

[@tak-el-uc]

I really like some of these new camera angles. The suspension cam and the boom cam this time around. Also, I was wondering if the trail was really pinched on the other side when you ran up on the rock and then right away you explained it was good luck to run over the goonie bird's toes. I appreciate the effort to improve our viewing experience. 👍👍

[@Waathiqful]

Same here, love them, they are awesome angles to view from.

[@mlsargent51]

Yes, definitely the boom camera!

[@novavroomvroom6809]

Good to see Shawn again...!!! Great camera views on the truck...!!! And great filming Shawn..!!! Them bump stops are pretty cool..!!!

[@tedfisk1211]

I enjoy this channel a lot. Trail Mater is quite the beast of a machine and coupled with Rory with his knowledge and expertise in mechanical stuff is enjoyable to watch. What amazes me are the situations that folks get themselves into with the 4X4s way out in the middle of nowhere. Rory, thanks for showing the beautiful scenery that you work in on a daily basis.

[@kimbaker4470]

My first time watching on your channel. I'm very impressed. That's NOT a tow truck, it's a mountain goat with a hook. 😉

[@BrianAllenBee52100]

Hey Rory, I am impressed yet again. Matt and Robby yank~em out, but you incorporate a gentle lift and haul! Well done!

[@not-fishing4730]

Love the "Crane-Cam", Sean and his camera work. Sean's tough for riding in the Jeep like that.

[@MurphysPoolService]

Thanks for showing the repair back at the shop. Would love to see more of that when you can show us. Thanks for the great videos as always!

[@scrappy7571]

Yes, for more repair vids!

[@inamartin7561]

Thank you for the ride along. I, most likely, am seeing more of Utah on your channel, Morr's Channel and Fab Rats' channel than I ever will in person. It is amazing for the rescues and I know people are thankful for those, but the scenery is spectacular.

[@jberg8159]

I highly recommend taking a vacation to Moab. It’s amazing and renting an off road vehicle is surprisingly affordable because the demand is so high.

[@gungadingo]

You can't go wrong with a visit to Utah.

[@aliceevans3357]

Imagine what they are doing for Utah's tourism!

[@squeakywheel5274]

I like the fact you showed partial repair at your shop. Keep up the good job

[@CGARFAN]

Rory and Team, Appreciate the longer vids...nice to see the additional detail and hear your words of wisdom. Thanks

[@sebastiannai4381]

Stunning landscapes as always, and I loved the Go Pro shot of the air shocks and rear diff in action. Really nice shock mount fabrication, looks very strong and well placed. You must be so satisfied with your creation, not just a badass rat rod 4 speed big block tow truck, but a supremely functional off road wrecker that brings home the bacon. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and sharing what you do.

[@RT-tg8bj]

Rory is all business. Not flashy he just gets the job done. IMHO the best of the off road recovery channels. Brass stones to be sure

[@Drewmk-sc9zv]

Loving these new camera angles Rory .Glad to see the new bags and shocks are swallowing up the bumps now for a better ride. Just can't get over that scenery guys ,and Shaun had me laughing ....How !!😂

[@MoaByte-v2z]

Rory, you are the top notch KZbin recovery guy. Moab is proud of you

[@lory2622]

Okay… 0:35 wins the Internet! I love Rory’s reaction.

[@tyendor1952]

Kemosabe

[@toddbertram6556]

I often fall asleep at night listening to the sounds of trail mater running and doing work The soothing sounds of a big block is like a mother's lullaby.

[@chrismartin223]

Really like when you play with the camera. Some short clips now and then, of "high'n'low" and on strange places, makes the video for me, more fun to watch. Thank you.

[@huffy737]

The variety of view points NEVER ceases to amaze on this channel. From the POV shocks, to the crane arm, to the view of the landscape in general. Good stuff.

[@bernardstevens3613]

TRAIL M8TR still amazes me every time you do a recovery like this! AMAZING RECOVERY! Thanks for sharing your AWESOME TRUCK with us!

[@tomranc]

Nice Job Rory! I love your new suspension fix. Nice views of the landscape. Your usual amazing recovery, and I gotta tell you, nothing beats the perkle of that 454!😀

[@lornemarr]

The sound that 454 makes when lugging up boulders reminds me of a Clydesdale mare nickering to her foal. Come on little one up these rocks.

[@rjay4197]

Rory this is an excellent video in all respects. 👍This was a challenging recovery and you did a great job telling your audience what was happening and what you were trying to accomplish. The camera angles used were excellent and the video is very sharp, good color etc. You seem to be more comfortable "talking to camera" too. Good stuff!! 🙂Please keep it coming and thanks.

[@michaelpresley9143]

Really liked the boom camera shots. I got my wife watching these with me and she said “he’s got some skills with that truck, his maneuvering is incredible.”

[@MoaByte-v2z]

Hey Sean! Thanks for having Rory's back. appreciate you bro!

[@redrubi3942]

You are a true master of your craft. Your attention to being safe is really awesome to see. You take few risks, always take your time and ensure you and your rig lives to fight another day. Really inspirational to watch. It is sad so many users of Moab don't act the same

[@Stephen-J-in-IA]

A quote from Firesigh Theater: "How!.. I tell you how!" Thanks again Rory. Another great video.

[@robinjames4334]

I was no sooner thinking you were most likely pleased with the new suspension parts when you said that. I'm always impressed with your skills and knowledge. Thanks Rory

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

you and Shawn crack me up! Never a dull moment with you two ;-). Awesome extraction and as always great driving. What great service, extracted and fixed!

[@pat8988]

It’s always enjoyable to watch a professional at work. I love to watch that big cubic inch torque at work, too.

[@goodtimevids6754]

Sean seems like he'd be a fun guy to work with

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

The more I watch you operate that truck the more I admire your engineering of it.

[@mrmongo6722]

Another excellent recovery Rory! You are stepping up your game with the suspension upgrades to Trail Matter and your camera angles. The camera on the suspension has to help you evaluate your work and makes for some good KZbin. 🍻

[@rodpasichnyk9140]

4:13, amazing , with all the things you have strapped on ur rig, there's no "excessive", clattering/banging, awesome, good job attaching stuff, cheers!

[@GoatOffroad]

Great wheeling with you in Moab! You’re so generous and always willing to help a stranded rig in need- even on vacation 🤣

[@roadsidecarcare]

Have to say this truly and deeply, cause doing recovery on the side of highways and blind corners is very very dangerous and I ain't scared... Now them hills on all your guys recovery from all channels I definitely give you an A+ because just watching omg my stomach turns and like I said and would keep saying your recovery videos are my number 1 top of the carts man.. You definitely are out of this world with your amazing truck you build always bless to watch another video of yours very cool and question; now the camera was on point for all your shots but the one on the top of your pulley system was that a GoPro because that made me feel as I was recording while you was driving lol.. Again you are my number 1 favorite to watch n I'm a fan since day 1👍👍👍

[@TheOldaz1]

Excellent result with the recovery and the new bump stops. Trail mater continues to evolve in a positive way - even without the fenders and doors.

[@edchenal821]

Your natural ability for this type of work is outstanding. I enjoy watching your videos but you need to let Sean expand his speaking parts. You have blossomed, so will Sean.

[@kennethayers8526]

We are really liking the new camera angles Rory! Thanks again for the ride along and another Amazing video ! 👍

[@mateofleet3390]

Loved the air bag camera angle as well as all the filming. You have a super capable rig

[@DRBR-2020]

Rory's videos just keep getting better and better. I swear to God, Rory can get anything out of anywhere... and then fix it up equal or better than new. Amazing!

[@laytonb7]

The goonie bird toe superstition is a good one to follow …my first time on Gold Bar, I spent the back half of the trail in the bed of a truck helping keep a Enduro Moto riders broken leg in traction til we meet the ambulance at the bottom of Gemini bridge … his buddy joked with him that it was because he didn’t roll over the toe!! Don’t mess with magic in magical places …just saying!!! Wood knocked on … thanks again for what you do …mystical charms be yours Rory!!!

[@wrs52011]

You got this off-road recovery down to a science. Oh, love the blue ceiling in your office.

[@tcrasey]

Dam son, the places you go and the things you tow! One heck of a job!

[@glenncpw]

Your mate Sean must have nerves of steel riding in that fine vehicle over those super highways...Good onya .

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT recovery. I like the camera mount on the boom. It gives us a wonderful shot and it very stable as well! !! !!!

[@KA-qw5cv]

Good to see Sean (Shawn, or Shaun?) back! He and Lily are great ride-alongs & helpers! Amazing work & scenery! Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm.

[@Colorado4x4]

You da man! Thanks for explaining the failure and repair there at the end. I love that. The new cameras are looking super professional too.

[@jamarie1972]

Has Trail Mater got new boots on they have a really nice tread. Cool new suspension set up and brilliant camera angles. Great Job Rory hello from the Uk 🇬🇧

[@michaellafleur2077]

Rory another epic recovery, I'm really impressed with your driving skills getting into those tricky places and getting them out. those are mad skills brother. See you on the next one.

[@olddogprepper2959]

I really love watching how Rory makes it look easy with his quiet humble expertise. Very relaxing to watch these videos, thanks Rory for rolling a camcorder while doing your job so well. 👍👍

[@ogreoutdoors]

What's more impressive than driving a frankenmonster manual transmission, dually tow truck up an off camber trail? Towing a Jeep and filming at the same time. Level 7 ninja stuff right there!

[@docwhiskey1412]

How!... BWAAHAAHAHAHA!! Love your sense of humor Sean... Great job guys.. love watching Trial Mater and Rory do their thing.

[@josiatokirina1788]

I will add my voice of approval and increased enjoyment of all the camera views in this video. It really opened up the visual and working experience. It also gave me a better appreciation of the beautiful the area you travel through. Thank You!

[@dougbourdo2589]

It is incredible the number of Rubicons that you have to tow out and/or repair because of mechanical failures. And, once again, Love that Big Block beginning pulls right off of idle, churning out power like a locomotive.

[@greglowe7694]

Please do videos of your trail maintenance work also. I like the boom camera angels and angles of how close you get to the trail edges. Thank for you videos.

[@richard3141592638]

Great new cam views - well done Rory.

[@karoylcooper8006]

Love your “Chief” Assistant (tounge-in-cheek) greeting of “HOW”. WHO BETTER TO USE HIS PEOPLE’S LANGUAGE...THANK YOU!!! Love the views from the top of crane! Terrific! Love the total angle view from the cave… Artistry from the heart of the working man! Would you kindly take us with you when you go out to repair the rock/chain/cable set-up on that steep hill??? What amazes me is that you consider doing that ( fixing the rock set up). In this world of ours now, people would just say let somebody else do it… Let alone fix it when you weren’t responsible for “breaking it “. Love being along for the ride...wish I could help! Wisconsin

[@ChuckBruton]

Ditto! Getting much better on camera angles , well done !

[@aldimore]

It sure makes offroading at Moab much nicer knowing Rory and Trail Mater are just a phone call away when things break.

[@williamglaser6577]

Thanks so much for no crappy music. I really like the way you do your vids, straight forward and honest.

[@bernieshort6311]

Another one under the belt Rory, always a pleasure to watch you and Trail Mater in operation. I thought a few videos back, wouldn’t it help on some trails if some sort of anchor was bored into the rocks to enable winch operation, and here we have one of your own. Such a good idea along with chaining those boulders in place. Until next time, stay awesome.

[@donlum9128]

Another hard core recovery. In the past rental jeeps weren't allowed on that trail. I doubt it that has changed. Glad you are able and equipped to get vehicles out. Thanks.

[@terryargo]

Happy Easter. I hope you got a cool Easter basket from the Easter bunny for your baby girl. Thank you for the ride.

[@vaughnmaurt5013]

Great camera work! You are gettin good at this…enjoying every minute

[@michaelfranks6521]

How my fellow natives .lol that was the best. I am from glacier Park on the Blackfeet reservation . Rory you are allowed to tease and joke right with any native .you are part of those guys life and that qualifies you as a brother to them.in our elders eyes

[@fat_head_Carl]

That wheel level camera work, switching from forward to backward is a great perspective.

[@russelbutler6704]

Enjoy the effort you went to to bring us some new camera angles Rory. Thank you and I really enjoyed the boom view but I think my favorite is when we can see what your what your busy doing in the cab and up the trail at the same time.

[@96kylar]

New set up seems dialed in. Well done mate,.. that is super rad. Happy adventures out there all...

[@davebenson1504]

Hey Sean, welcome back... pretty cool video view from the top of the boom facing forwards... backing up to the broken Jeep was pretty amazing driving Rory... I find it amazing how these tourists trash a rental... reminds me to never buy a rental... another delicate removal successfully completed and surgically restored... Thank You!

[@SpatialDragon]

That was mildly terrifying watching trail mater sliding backwards as you winched. It worked. I like the camera shots. Great vantage point.

[@maxironpaw]

Boy, that motor has plenty of low end grunt. Little bit of blue smoke there when the light was right. Loved the undercarriage shots as well as the view looking forward from up high. Another job well done.

[@crazyheadgideon]

Your CAM work, besides the recovery itself, was amazing this time. All the different angles to see. Super cool. Thanks 😃

[@rockercover]

13:35 Acting like the standard-issue GM carburetor for those years. (The memories of those trucks are locked into the memory bank). Always a fun reliving of those memories through you and your tow machine. Thanks much! Update to above after watching your truck walk around video #3, appears now you might be using a MSD brand system to manage your engine. You mentioned a throttle body that I have not seen before. (Thought MSD was ignition / spark control only). Thanks for that video. (Who knows what has changed since 10-24-21). The added handy mobile items on this vehicle are very impressive. GMRS radios seem popular for off-road. CB used to be used, have not heard too many on those frequencies any longer. The HF operation of the GMRS can travel quite a line of sight distance. In my area, one radio repeater operator has large area of coverage. Plus emergency channel (19), monitoring and priority traffic recognition. Thanks again, the best to you and everyone.

[@lonhoschar1943]

Good job Rory!! It's obvious that you've bee doing this for a very long time. Great recovery in some very difficult terrain.

[@mz2288]

Trailmater seems 2 run a lot quieter and less squeaky with the new set up. Loved the camera work on this one ☝️! Stunning scenery as always. Keep up the great work 👍👍🙏🙏.

[@floydstowe]

Another good one showing how it's done going to be busy Easter weekend

[@daveberry4582]

Like the boom cam. Great job. Hope I never need your services but good to know that you’re there if I ever do! Get on with your bad self. Thanks for sharing

[@michelbrodeur6055]

The environment you work in isn't forgiving to your equipment and lubricating anything would be more harm than good understandably. Doing what you do is hard enough even though you have armchair recovery "experts'. Just keep on keeping on and tune out the negativity. Awesome work, filming and friendly banter. Thanks for taking us along.

[@edwinschlee8374]

the smoother ride doesn't wear you out before you get to the job! All fixed and ready to go out and break again! Great video Rory!

[@anthonylee2099]

Great video Rory. The air bag addition looks like it works well , camera angles are great. Good job🤙😎

[@trailmater]

My truck has always had airbags.

[@madkow2001]

Been watching you for a long time on Matt’s off-road recovery channel and just realized you had a channel too. Love it!

[@tedrufledtjr.3573]

Your the legit, real deal. Really enjoy your recovery videos.

[@jakelincoln3740]

You sir have some excellent driving skills and are very good at what you do. Most people can't drive a manual down the street much less over the terrain you do with another vehicle hooked to the back. Your quickly becoming one of my favorite channels.

[@stephenpoe2037]

The places and the Destruction you Recover ! Very Impressive ! Great Video !

[@Elandogold]

Love the new angle from the boom arm!

[@gayle4804]

Great recovery and Shawn is so funny

[@brettmorton7365]

The way everything gets used to its maximum efficiency is great... Do the recovery, drive m8r and dead vehicle straight on the trailer, then use the trailer as a work bench... Love your work Rory, keep up the great vids 👍🏼👍🏼

[@willieself1]

New camera is awesome..really liked the boom cam!!!

[@Larry-rk9hg]

Love all the shenanigans you guys go through, Rory, I think you are awesome at the job you do and the rigs you build.

[@Larry-rk9hg]

Is there any chance I could get the design of your sand shovel tow point or whatever you call it, I think it would work anywhere there weren't any trees

[@princ3ssros340]

Howdy boys! Great video and amazing job once again, beautiful mother nature! Tell Shawn Yá'át'ééh 😁

[@francesrice7898]

I have watched this twice and it’s awesome. God bless you and Sean. 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

Another recovery made to look easy by a man with a plan, and loads of skill and knowledge. Ps "how" had me rolling🤣

[@rayzrevolver5536]

really liked those camera shots of the air bags working, camera on the boom looking forwards as you are driving, and the shot of the front tires as you were heading out. really showed how hard your truck is working. nice job👍

[@williamholder1249]

Crane mount camera shots my favorite so far.

[@trubass75]

I love how you mostly idle up hills pulling stuff. That thing has power. The new camera is providing some awesome shots.

[@roygotham]

Great recovery without any additional damage on the tow out👍!! Trucks working great and sounds as strong as ever. Sorry that there’s trail damage.

[@dough5626]

Had some great views on Camera to really see those leaf springs, check it out.. Great vid as always.

[@powerhorsea1a376]

That was great catching you at Maverick between recoveries on Friday, we almost went up Hell's Revenge behind you but did it Saturday afternoon instead. Keep up the awesome work 👍
