Rory’s hysterical laughter while tearing apart the transfer case said everything

[@Rod-db8tt]

Certainly ... nyuk nyuk nyuk whoop whoop whoop 😅

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

There was maybe a small grinding noise in that transfer case. 😂

[@johnkraushaar3113]

Poor Trail Mater over worked and under paid 😊

[@billj5645]

I can tell you that when you take apart a gearbox, differential, motor, that isn't working it's always a surprise to see what you will find in there.

[@Zircon_215]

It impresses the heck out of me that this stuff doesn’t intimidate you guys at all … you just pull it apart, get in there, and make it right! And, the thing about this mechanical stuff is, if you have the parts, it is fixable. I think that’s what I like so much about videos like this … and your trail fixes. If only everything that went wrong in life were that way.

[@steve0inmontana811]

Rory’s finesse, Mikes humor, and Shawn’s laugh, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!

[@xmo552]

Some old engineer somewhere is dying screaming at the screen saying you're using it 10× it's design parameters! Yeah, probably. Thank you Mr. Engineer for this great transfercase!

[@Thomas_jefferson69]

For the life of me I cannot understand why this channel isn't over 1MM subscribers?

[@COM70]

100% right. Me either.

[@sh-df1bb]

Right!!!

[@graememckay9972]

It takes time and Rorys only really been pushing for a year or so with his MORR collabs. Fabrats, Layton all had channels for years but only started pushing a few years. Robby Layton is prime example. He has been pushing and collabing with as many other creators to drive the channel. He was so out of place with Heavy D and the other exaggerators but you can see that what he's aiming for. Rory has stayed true to himself and not sold out.

[@lestvee4948]

​@@graememckay9972 Thats true! Robby is a good dude. But people are bailing Morr bc its a bunch of kids playing for a camera now. They're bailing fab bc Michelle is annoying and Paul is a hack. This channel is the king!

[@Tundraoutdoors]

@@COM70 But most are all sell outs rory and crew are not!!!

[@nortiousmaximus940]

l'm sure l'm older than all you guys, but l must say, when l grow up, l want to be just like you guys. l don't know anyone out there who seems to have as much fun as you guys do, keep on keeping on :)

[@lonhoschar1943]

Stuff breaks and stuff gets fixed. Such is the life and times of most of us. I prefer watching you do your stuff instead of doing my stuff! 😁 More entertaining, fewer cuss words and NO blood on ME!! LOL!! Keep up the great work!!

[@Beandiptheredneck]

It's a heck of a lot cheaper to watch them fix their broken stuff than it is for me to fix mine too 😂

[@dwdodgelover]

We’ve witnessed history y’all. Rory ran on camera 😂

[@UncleManuel]

That manic "Oh so THAT'S wrong" laughter when Rory inspects the transfer case... 😁😁

[@reddog376]

Rory I am a knife guy and am not crying. A knife is a tool to be used. As long as you maintain it we are good.

[@sickjohnson]

Good to see them using them...CRKT should send them a care package!

[@stevencherrett-eb6zh]

Or buy discount pocket knives with the intention of abusing them and then just replace it

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Looked like he was sharpening it to me!

[@christopherwedemeyer2993]

Save your money and buy a Benchmade. Then save your money and buy another. Then send the first one to Bench made and they fix anything and sharpen it for free. Rotate knives. Repeat. For-Ev-ah.

[@Dlutheran]

​@@christopherwedemeyer2993 they are too expensive for what they are you can buy better or equal quality knives for cheaper

[@MaddMaxxTcs]

Rory you are the most down to earth and honest person ive ever seen on KZbin. The way you treat your daughter and employees is something most people should strive for. As long as you make videos ill be watching. Keep up the life youve chosen and keep treating people the way you do.

[@slowlydimming4320]

Well said!

[@joeym2675]

Definitely!!

Yep totally agree, been watching from the early days. Employees are friends too.

[@jamarie1972]

Great repair, now there’s someone who can rebuild a transfer box blindfolded. Cheers Rory wish I could be there for the Mountain America Expo but still 4,800 miles from you, sorry maybe one day. All the Best to You, Lily, Mike and Shaun🇺🇸 From us in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@NachoMama863]

Always a sad day to see Trail Mater on the lift, but I'm glad you got all the glittery fairy dust out of your transfer case.

[@moretoliving2236]

You weren't kidding about parts being available. Pull 1 from the rig, pull another one from the yard, a 3rd one from some guy and then frankeinstein it together and the best part is you know exactly what is broken before you even open the darn thing because its something that is fixed in the house rather than some warranty thing elsewhere on other side of the country.

[@HOTRODMONZA]

MIKE empressing us with a VOCABULARY and Engineering Prowess beyond the NORMAL HUMANS SUCH AS US !!!!

[@johnnyadams1755]

Even though it's knowledge I may never use, I am constantly learning something just by watching your videos. Thank you for the education and entertainment.

[@dennisthurston727]

I wish I had even 1/4 the knowledge that you and your team have. You always impress me. Great job

[@morningbeachsunshine7496]

Watching how efficiently you operate is pretty amazing. (Yes, I know it is You Tube time, but still...) Thank you for including us!

[@daveauman2339]

It's not often that I get to learn new shit, but when I do, it's often on your channel. Keep up the fantastic content. We old dudes appreciate what you do. 😁

[@yakimavalleycab]

Hey it’s not like you guys are a little rough on the old girl!! Keeps you guys busy and us entertained!

[@dougalexander7204]

I wish I knew half of what you’ve forgot. Much respect to you and the crew, including your girls.

[@LAP1050]

Professor Mike 🥼 @14:05, explains how that “light little bit of CRUSTOSSION” on there makes it work…🤣

[@kenma8806]

When I had my trucking company I remember the days were everyone was off.. AND I was in the yard/shop working on my equipment on the weekends.. when you own a business, you do not own any days off..

[@granadogranadoandy6212]

I like your old school I enjoy watching you gentlemen work I always learn something

[@treborheminway3814]

Learned a new word today. Crustosian. Thanks for helping to grow a delinquent 's vocabulary. 👍👍

[@LaDonnashielded-kc7zm]

Hi Rory, Mike and Shawn. Good to see you and trailmater no matter what. Have a safe, exciting weekend. That will be some caravan🤩💚❣️✨

[@JSchrumm]

I have always been curious about how anti seize was made, thanks for clearing that up.

[@kenmurray4232]

Oh no, Trail Mater had a boo- boo. Considering the work that truck has done it shouldn't surprise you. I like having a sharp knife to cut with but keep a POS knife for just what you did. It's a tool to be used as needed. Nice catch on the oil drain back being the cause. Happy to see the old girl back up & running. Thanks for sharing.

[@davevanderwiele194]

Rory you are absolutely right for us regular guys the 205 is the only way to go 👍😎

[@justachipn3039]

It's always satisfying to use your skills on your own stuff 🌵🌵💀💀👍👍🌵🌵

[@timspicer3270]

wish I would have found this channel last year. Playing catch up now and my wife is pissed! Love the channel

[@sumosteve665]

Rory, people can call you a sarcastic smartass or whatever they want to say - but if you ask me, I'd say that you're the most level headed guy in the business. Your attention to detail and your sense of humor AND SARCASM is what makes you the best. I just love to see your reaction when life kicks you in the go-nads cause I know that it's gonna be silky smooth and laden with a bit of smartassness. DON'T. CHANGE. ANYTHING.

[@ericmiller8432]

Looks like some new merchandise for the Trail Mater Store. Own and actual part of Trail Mater itself.

[@bripslag]

Mike's comparison of rusty crustosion to polishing compound is the kind of deep wisdom I watch this channel for. He's a wealth of automotive knowledge, lol. 🤣

[@rawdyrider]

Impressive mechanical skills! Wish I had em to solve issues with my vehicles.Keep rockin

[@robertscranton8293]

Most Excellent Episode.. I just love the teaching element of these vids..(let me add...that the "Green" t-shirts give me a warm and cozy feeling of environmentalism..hahha)(Rory is soo competent)

[@jessepitt]

I mostly just rock safety squints but I will definitely wear actual safety glasses for a wire wheel. I have had way too many of those little bastards imbed themselves into my body to risk one to my eyeball.

[@bradley-eblesisor]

I use a faceshield anytime one of those is spinning. I have a beard already, and I dont like steel whiskers at all!

[@jessepitt]

@@bradley-eblesisor 🤣 good point. At least the beard protects your neck.

[@bradley-eblesisor]

@@jessepitt My redneck protects below my jawbone!

[@NomadGringo]

That case has put in 3 lifetimes of work. 🍻

[@jimepperson2075]

Wow, Rory you really impress me on your knowledge with fixing things.

[@christopherthompson4359]

Number 1, love the shots of Trailmater next to Robby's wrecker. Where it started to offspring. Number 2, a knife is a do it all tool that's always near and ready for action whenever a scraper or a screwdriver and all things in between. Number 3, you guys humor and realistic approach to everything makes each episode so easy to watch. Keep it up .

[@andrewlewis5762]

Cheers guys, to hear Rory laugh like that....brilliant 😂

[@twodogsyyc6729]

100% agree 205 is the best toughest most universal Tcase you can get !!

[@mikeconner5119]

everything has a life span even a transfer case but when rory the surgen operates he can bring them back to life with a few transplants from donor cases good job doc rory

[@coltbuildsit]

You are definitely one of the few people who are truly putting 205 equipment to its max load capacity.

[@EvanMoon]

This man is forcing me to learn things, and I like it

[@randybhuuu7uuhuuhoopesz288]

So it seems like you 3 are somewhat mechanically inclined 😂love the humor

[@DonPerry-nx4sr]

If you're seling yourselves at the Expo, I'de like to buy 5 of Mike's toes 🤣🤣🤣 Love Rory's manic laugh!!

[@rarelyright]

I love how you have a part sitting in some old tire somewhere in your yard for any repair you need

[@xmo552]

Dude that AA build is looking goooood.

[@garychelf9201]

Sure wish I was able to attend, best of luck Rory and guys

[@mikehornsby599]

Trail mater gets it done!!!

[@graememckay9972]

Safety glasses with a wire wheel reminded me of a time I was using one to clean a metal bar. I could hear "pit pat" and felt the paint and rust hit my stomach and chest. After a few minutes I realised the wire wheel was looking skinny so I stopped. I looked down and my thick jacket had hundreds of wire bristles stuck into it. A few were through the jacket into my hoody. I wasn't wearing any face or eye protection. Haven't ever made that mistake again.

Glad to see we run the same torque wrenches… click click 😂

Great repair work Rory, Mike and Shawn. Trail Mater back on the road. Miss it. 🤙😎

[@jeffmosley4043]

I think trailmater knew something was not right. He had to get rid of the ford parts and get even with you by making you fix it right. Thanks for the video stay safe guy's. Love watching you guy's.

I like your torque wrench. Click click. Click click. I’ve used that method also.

Great job you all Trail Mater is back. So nice to see all of you having a great time I enjoy watching and listening to all the laughs.

When I was a teen... Too cool for safety/PPE... I used to go to the hospital with wire wheel parts in my eyeballs. 😭 I learned.
