Rescuing A Trailer With Our Trailer

We got contacted by a manufacturer to go out on Lockhart Basin and get one of their over landing trailers that had snapped a spindle. They had a new spindle for us to install but with it having already snapped one we didn't want to chance pulling it out and having another issue. So we went in with the recovery trailer and hauled it back out. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Mike, please ask more of the "What's going through your mind when..." type questions, giving Rory the chance to explain what must seem mundane to him but counts as revelation for some of us.

Rory has great reasons for what he does and we want to hear them. He just needs some prodding to share the thoughts he would otherwise hoard.

[@doug112244]

He has an eye for it. If Justin didn't exist, I'd suspect Mike was the editor. I wonder if Justin helps with the Dirtbilly Deluxe channel edits. Mike does such a great job showing us what he is doing. I send him props for how he frames things up all the time.

[@sbrown2048]

I sometimes get so focused on what these guys are doing that I forget to look at the background of where they are. Moab is so beautiful.

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

I like Mike's question. I was reminded of when Matt and Rory were talking about the early days of content creation. Matt's wife Jaime took Rory's camera and asked him to describe what he was doing and why and his descriptions and conversation with Jaime (and the camera) made the videos better. Thanks, Mike!

[@madcowmark7129]

Thanks guns, after 2am here in Australia when i was watching your stream. My 2 dogs were asleep on my bed until you played around with those chicken dog toys. My dogs were off, barking and looking for the toys. "TWICE"! Don't think my family or new neighbours who moved in on the weekend are too happy.

Manufacturers of these off road trailers should talk to the people that do recoveries to find out what actually works in the real world. Some excellent footage Mike & Shawn. Nice job editing Justin. Thanks for sharing

yeah if you build a trailer for where you are going perfectly fine then. but people insist on taking even new jeeps where they shouldnt. lots of advertisiong is deceptive and people fall for it.

Nice job Mike of asking the questions that Rory takes for granted because he has been doing it so long. Explaining what he is thinking helps us novices figure things out.

For many years I towed a tandem car trailer, with full suspension around the bottom SE corner of Australia. Carted various race cars and lots of firewood and masses of rubbish.

That pair of trailers got some good airtime today. Mater would go down a drop and thud into place with shocks damping the motion, then the trailer duo would drop, bounce 3" up and come down, bounce 2" up and come down, then trail on behind, sometimes 4-5" over. It was interesting to watch.
