Weekend Of Solo Recoveries

Was Labor Day weekend and I let the guys have it off so it was a weekend of testing the new engine in the wrecker all by myself. Had a Dodge Power Wagon with bent steering up on Porcupine Rim, then tried to help a friend D out with a broken axleshaft on Fins and Things but couldn't get the axle passed the seal. Then a SxS on Hells Revenge that had snapped his whole front wheel and suspension off. Also we hit 200,000 subscribers and wanted to tell everyone thank you so much for that. We truly appreciate all of you guys watching and following along.
Grab some merch from www.trailmater.com and make all your friends jealous.

Rory, you are well on your way to 300k. You talk to us like we are right there on the most spectacular recoveries with any of the crew... What it really means to me, I'm a disabled recluse that sits in the dark all day, results of a wreck. I appreciate you and the tremendous amount of hard work that goes into the whole production. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your struggles in aspects of your life off camera. You allow us to relate on a more personal level. I check first thing every morning, so I can go out for a ride.
