Broken Gladiator On Pritchett Canyon

We got a call one morning for a Jeep Gladiator that had broken the day before on Pritchett Canyon Trail. The people had stayed with the Jeep and their friends came out to get a Welder. The welder they thought they could get wasn't available so they called us. We took the buggy and Wile E in to weld them back together. We got there and twisted the brackets back into place and welded them up, added some gussets, and we were on our way. We decided to go back down the trail since it is the easiest and fastest way out. We spotted them in a couple spots and winched them were it was needed so we didn't add stress to an already damaged drive shaft. We got them down and back to town so the could make further repairs before driving home. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

This is the only channel where I watch every video all the way through. Amazing problem solving, scenery, sense of humor, and no BS! Keep it up!!

[@billbeck47]

Me too.

[@ClaytheBMXer]

Between watching Rory and Ivan, I feel like I could fix anything if I put my mind to it and put in the work!

[@jonathanz4987]

No need to apologize, true fans are happy to put in a little effort to support you! Plus, some of us love the commentary, Rory! 2:28

[@cjsamms]

It’s not just your towing, but your driving, your repair work/welding/fabrication in the field all display your creative problem solving abilities are superior to most of the other channels I’ve been watching. Throw in your sense of humor. You and your team aren’t just good at what you do, but you obviously really enjoy what you’re doing. The bigger the challenge, the more you guys seem to enjoy it.

[@azpapa9347]

I totally agree!

[@shaneabrahamson8732]

You forgot to compliment them on the size of their Schwartz. It's as big as mine.

[@nikonikorian6124]

You hit the Grenade on the Pin! I completely agree, but it seems whenever someone does it right, shows doing it right, or explains it right it's like Napalm to the morons out there and they just want to watch the world burn in ignorance.

[@BitBuhkit]

@@nikonikorian6124 lol, huh?

[@kolt4d559]

Rory, you are one of the hardest working people on KZbin! Don't ever stop. Mike and Shawn, you guys are awesome!

[@ROGE444]

Rory, sir, no problem. I absolutely watch all your videos. Love your content. Enjoy watching you, mike and sean on the trails and in the shop.

[@assorted-rubbish4070]

[@shawnmason5290]

Ditto Rory $exploit$ KZbin! Screw ‘em

[@evanrmoon]

Interrupt all you Rory. I watch every video and like them all. The content and fun between you and the guys is great.

[@nicknamean]

Dudes and their 90k “overlanding” rigs always breaking down and gettin stuck just cracks me up

[@doncyr3332]

I consider your videos a privilege to watch. I am an 81 year old gear head, to have you invite me to see the most beautiful country in the US, I wish to thank you and your wonderful team.

[@jefffreestone8476]

Rory your vids are the best! Short intro's, fantastic scenery, hair raising recoveries, simple trail repairs, what more could we ask for. You are living the dream, more than a few of us are living it though you. You are an authentic stand up guy and that easily comes though. Your crew is pretty awesome also!

[@JThelen1031]

I love watching, liking, subscribing and commenting. Thanks for taking us along so that I can keep doing all of those things. :D

[@kyleroth1025]

COMMENT AS REQUESTED - I remember in the last millennium I was wheeling so hard that my average monthly repair bills were more than my loan payments. I'm now more of a overlander.

[@patrickmccabe2201]

Rory, i know this youtube stuff is a pain in the ass. I see you worked at it and have largely overcome your 'reluctance'. I'm happy that it has opened up so many opportunities for you and the team. Keep up the good work. Your numbers will take care of themselves. Even so it doesn't hurt to prod people once in a while and your fans don't mind. To me you've come from being an also ran channel to being what you have always been that took a minute to recognize. A master of what you do . Your peers look up to you. Some even 'borrow ' your ideas. Keep being rory and having fun. Don't let the weight of that trophy affect you in the slightest. Now that you've developed a sense of online personna just be you along with your team. Many would love to be on your team. Even so, i think you would thrive like you always have if this opportunity were to go away with just not do many options...

[@mooshaker]

Nothing like a TrailMater adventure on a Tuesday afternoon

[@thomasfletcher760]

Dang straight !

[@Steelegotcha]

I just said the other day in the comments that I cannot believe that Rory isn't at a million subs. In terms of content and insane recoveries there is no one else on you tube that can even come close to this channel.

[@gabecrockett6574]

Rory’s trail repair video’s always make me happy to be a leaf-sprung peasant. Those brackets for multi link suspension just always seem to fatigue and break.

[@arcopierik3894]

As long as you keep making videos, I'll keep watching. I continue to love seeing what you all do with these vehicles.

[@shortbusoffroad]

Ditto

[@akelkhunter]

No one better at picking lines than Rory. I can’t imagine anyone unsubscribing themselves intentionally. Several other channels are having the same issue. YT is up to something.

[@741662027]

I'd love to have you narrate (after the fact) why you spot someone through a tough obstacle the way you do. I'm starting to learn the difference between "walking" and "crawling", but I see you moving people around where they can get traction with a front tire (like wedging the left front in a corner to go up that shelf), and guiding them to roll straight down a shelf so they don't "endo". It would be fun for those of us who watch but have never crawled. Thanks!

[@briangalloway3684]

I agree

[@scottmcclenaghan3236]

I agree

[@GavinEarnshaw]

From the UK so we don't really have this stuff. Yes please!

[@obroberts6533]

I'd like to second that "Good Save" that Shawn gave you Rory, it was a close call between a save and a fall.

[@brianbob7514]

It is great to see an expert do their thing. The skills needed to do this are immense and you guys make it look easy.

[@dwawa23]

The slightest unnecessary dig turn at 6:40 - love it

[@ScottDLR]

Never ceases to amaze me what kinds of terrain you guys can tackle. I figure my 1 ton 4x4 truck would get stuck in the parking lot. Of Walmart.

[@johnharris7103]

I've been watching your show for the past 6 weeks while sick with Covid. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@NikkiFaubus-fz9st]

Rory, what you do is beyond amazing! You have the best channel on KZbin! Thank you for letting us experience what you do every week.

[@garyinman5400]

Rory a day without you is a bad day I always look for anything with you and the crew. keep on plugging and we will keep on watching.

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

I've been watching rory since he posted his first few videos and did most of the filming himself . from that first video to this one, I'm still amazed by his wheeling skills and where he can drive and make it look effortless.

[@robinculkin2286]

IT’s Aussie Rob here we had about 6 ppl watching you , Matt, Paul and Robbie that’s now got up to 15 every week, you’re so popular and amazing at your job.😅

[@leonardsweatt7287]

[@georgeoros6223]

I agree with 81 year old Don. It's a privilege to watch you guys. Keep it up. Thanks

[@larrylitz8964]

Best recovery show on you tube. By far!!!

[@kevinproefrock1524]

I’m still watching. Your videos get better and better overtime.

[@Myhandle306]

I’ve always said this channel should have a MINIMUM 80% like to view ratio. Never understood why people won’t take half a second to hit that button.

[@judih.8754]

Me neither. It's easy and costs nothing!

[@gordbaker896]

Those of us who survived Covid are catching up on home jobs, gardens, lawns, repairs etc. A lot of good drivers out there today. Good equipment too. A lot of people quit watching due the comments being crammed to the Side Bar. That has been rectified. If it's working leave it alone!

[@schnell356]

A drop in viewership may be somewhat seasonal as winter fades and more people are outside away from the computer screen.

[@slamboy66]

You do not have to apologize to true fans . Keep up the good work.

[@scottreeder7023]

I enjoy driving through Moab and seeing the vehicles out in front of the shop when I haul loads through Moab.

[@raysanders6744]

Rory, you run one hell of a repair and recovery service. Thanks for what you do for the people.

[@davidweidner1675]

Still watching and enjoying the videos

[@martinc591]

Some of your recovery's are insane and the trail side fabrication is something else entirely! You guys are lots of fun to watch!

[@michaelhanna1273]

Between Rory and the TrailMater crew, FabRats and Matt you have Utah all free and wheeling!. Thank you!.

[@javiersarriguren524]

This channel is real and very entertaining. It is also somewhat formative because it gives a sincere point of view on how to act in the face of difficulties and breakdowns. One of the best channels that can be seen on youtube. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND WORK

[@JEEPIMPACT]

We are definitely still watching 😊😊

[@hoosierdude7102]

The things that you, Rory, and your team do are impressive! Real skills displayed without ego or giant price tag builds.

Rory Sean and Mike plus Lil Lily are the best. Keep posting great content fellas.

[@dennyunderwood3772]

As requested a comment this time from the UK, you guys are doing a brilliant job entertaining us all on KZbin always down to earth and interesting. One of the best assets you all have is that you take everything in your stride, well done guys and keep up the great work 👍😎

[@BrandonChambers-o9k]

Happy to provide a comment, as I fear one day I will need your services while in the Moab Backcountry. Amazing work out there!

When you said you took the buggy because it had the welder, I knew it was for the fun of the ride as well as the repair. Fun video, thanks for taking us along.

[@big3fan916]

Rory , you're a ROCK STAR , ya know - the good kind !

[@joeym2675]

The down spike is probably due to spring and summer and people are getting outdoors and doing more stuff and camping! I hope it picks back up soon! You deserve it!!! Show the building you do on your rigs and especially the rebuild of the buggy!!! That would be awesome content!!! Thanks for sharing your story with us Rory!!! True Loyal Fans Will Be Here For You!!!

[@ephjay6t87]

I haven't missed a video and haven't been disappointed yet. Rory is the GOAT. Dirtbilly Deluxe is also a "never miss" show.

[@johndelgado5315]

Dude !!! Seriously - You and your crew Sean and Mike are the best, I never miss an episode! Your attention to problem solving on the fly is second to none. But hear this !!! You are true to your brand of video - NEVER CHANGE! We are not interested in flash video cartoon inserts and comedic attempt at corny humor, not going to mention names - they are good but they are corny cartoon, only thing missing in their video is a laugh track. You guys are having fun at what you do and your humor is natural ... real. Don't ever change - stay true as you already are.

[@mat2ca578]

After the repair you gave them lots of local knowledge on the obstacles.

[@artm6723]

Always happy to see another Trail Mater video! Just got off work and now it’s time to crack a cold one and watch a another great video!

[@hillaryleeannhildebrand5083]

[@chrisricciardiello751]

Shooting from the hip here... My family and I are going through compounded difficult times. Life can get rough. Most people are aware of this. You guys, your recoveries, your honesty, humor, and authenticity really do help. I respect and appreciate all you do and for making a series of trials a little bit better through your craft and commitment.

[@kevinshaber8742]

New venture opportunity: guide spotting service through the tough stuff. Your knowledge, experience and skill put you at the top of the heap. I’d buy a trail ride w Rory.

[@nerdsrock243]

Absolutely love the channel and whatever you do, I'll keep watching. My two cents about keeping/growing viewers: the recoveries are fun to watch but after a while, they might become as predictable for us to watch as they are for you to do. You want to grow the channel . . . do more builds and/or show us working on your rigs. I might pass over yet another recovery but I promise you; I never miss a video of you guys working on a project, especially if you're building a new rig.

[@thomasnichols3950]

Rory’s trail adventures!

[@trailrunnah8886]

I just checked, I'm still subbed. I watch all your videos, however I don't always comment. I think you put out some of the best content on KZbin, every video I'm more and more impressed with your driving skill, the capability of Mater, and your recovery knowledge.

[@regbale]

Gladiators are quickly becoming like the Toyota, often broken. Good trailer hitch crunch in this one too. Subscribed again Rory. Keep them coming.

[@dennisblair1384]

I really enjoy watching your videos! We visited out in MOAB a few years ago and went on a tour through some of these trails. It is a joy to see how well you know the obstacles and how expertly you traverse them.

I watch every video, but i don't comment often. I enjoy watching your videos.

I enjoy your videos for sure Sir ! They way you navigate those trails like some of them don't even exist is simply Amazing ! And the area that you get to work/play in is simply beautiful. Sean, Mike, and Yourself should be proud of that part I think ! And talking about Pride, Rory you yourself should be very proud of yourselves as a team ! Your on the trail repair is unbelievable, as well as the recoveries you do with any vehicle you set out to fetch ! I say a BIG BIG THANK YOU To All Three of You for Sharing Your Wonderful Talents and Adventures with Everyone ! ✌️❤️🙏

[@jaynelson5793]

I have a feeling a lot of people like a "build" series of videos. Just a thought. I know it's really early, but maybe start building Lily a crawler. I personally love watching Wilie and the Trailmator instead of stock rigs trying to run with the big dogs.

[@matthewtaylor1039]

I watch a lot of your stuff on the tv, so I’ll do better to remember to comment and like on the phone after watching. Y’all are a bunch of awesome folks and I appreciate the effort that you put in to show what you do. You make an extremely tough job look so easy when we know better. Be safe and thanks for what you do!
