I’d have my hands full following Rory in my CJ. Watching you follow him in a wrecker is a masterclass in off-roading.

Before I somehow stumbled on Trailmater and Matts Off Road and this channel, If I was standing on that spot and you told me any vehicle had went over that trail I wouldn't have believed you! Those two wreckers are amazing.

I just got back from Moab and I can tell you that those trails are way worse than the video shows. And I agree, when i first saw a lot of those 'roads', I thought there is no way I'm going to be able to drive up that.

Rory is a beast of an off road driver. Trail mater is also amazing. I've seen videos of that man wheeling almost impossible roads all while towing a jeep without front wheels... he's amazing. One heck of a driver to learn from

Cliffhanger is the perfect name for that trail! Watching you two take those big girls out there for a dance was amazing and knowing the limitations of both rigs is even more exciting. Hats off to both teams for getting everyone out safely. 👍🍻

OMG that looks so fun! The wrecker is doing so much better than you'd expect for such a heavy truck! I had to wonder why Rory didn't pull you from the boom winch to help lift you up/ over instead of a low pull harder into the rock wall? Either way only 1 assist on a trail rated 8 is good. Great content. Happy you finally made it out there safe after the bad roads & Chevy losing an engine. Keep the great videos coming & have a safe trip home!

I drove 1976-77 Chevy wrecker for a big dealership in Mich, so I know how heavy they are, of course yours is a little newer and a tad lighter but still heavy dry. The way you drove first time level 8 with that wrecker of yours with Rory's spotting is very impressive of with cliffs of 600- 1000 ft drop. Successful recovery trip to vehicle and back. Watching your trust in Rory was amazing and I love how that young lady with you in the wrecker smiling the whole time shows how much she trusts you.👍 The best part was that you Rory did it with good old made American iron.🇺🇸 Absolutely love the video. Subscribed and shared The best to you and yours.

My dually isn't a tow truck it's a tow pig and it weighs 11,000 lbs. Definitely not a offroad machine at all. Great job on the wheeling and recovery!!

Now for Rorey that’s a totally different way to even look at things on the trail!! For some one that gets the option to run the trails when ever he would like to at 365 days a year that definitely gives Rorey plenty of practice to make it look like running a mall car in the mall parking lots!!! Lol!! Remember keep up all the hard work buddy it will definitely become much easier for you every chance you get the option to go out on moabs trails!!!
