We were contacted about a jeep on Engineer Pass above Ouray Colorado, it had a broken steering box and a damaged sector shaft that goes to the steering column. We happen to have a newer jeep that we retrieved off the mountain awhile ago that we took some parts off of to see if they would fit. We loaded up and headed out to get it. Thank you all for watching and supporting us.

Matt and the FabRats guts are pretty good at off road recovering, that's a fact. But if you are in serious trouble, the TrailMater crew is the first call you make. These trail repairs you somehow come up with are nothing short of genius, I learn something new with each new video. Thanks guys!

Rory is the king of trail side repair. Always seems to have enough of the right parts to get everyone atleast patched up enough to get out of the woods. The amount of stuff on trail mater is crazy. Another great successful save. Videos are getting awesome with the content. Great job. No matter who wins the off road Olympics Rory wins in the repair recovery by far.

My mother was born in Ouray, & her father an electrical engineer putting in electrical systems, wiring & lighting in the mines. Later they moved to E of Price (UT) & her father put in more mine wiring, and later returned to Midway UT, where the Snake Creek Power Station was developed & Heber Valley Power and Light. My mom told me that when she got older her father would tell stories of traveling in the Ouray area on high, steep & narrow roads, with huge drop offs (like shown in the video). The repairs done by you "two", quick, efficient & remarkable, as always. And having the tools, parts, know how and gear to pull it off. Long ride back to Moab though.

1) been on that pass several times. It is no joke up there. Good reason to huff and puff. There is no air up there. 2) I've been watching for a few months. I've always thought "I can do that with a locker". Then I watched rory pivot trail mater without a spotter using a dang Boulder. I just got schooled and discovered that there's another level. That is some serious skill and knowledge.

Engineer Pass is what started it all for us. Rented a jeep in Ouray (because we were on our MC) and drove up Engineer. After vacation was over we went home and bought a 7 year old 77 CJ7 that we had for the next 33 years. Enjoyed it a lot all around the Moab area, too. Wish you had been around in those days, Rory! We needed you once when we were coming out of Bobby's Hole!

@Rat-Builder Жыл бұрын

@@dankybud2532 Many years ago my Wife and I were camping close to the Black Bear Pass. I rode my XT600 down to Telluride (I think, it has been 35 years ago). The road had several 2 foot ledges that I had to go up and down, not to mention the switchbacks, but at the time I was a pretty good rider. I was coming back to the camper and met a fellow with an older style Jeep Wagoner. He asked me how the trail was in front of him, and I said that there were several 2 foot ledges, and he was going to scrape the bottom of his rig pretty bad. His Jeep was completely stock, and was quite low to the ground. He asked me if he should turn around while he could, and I replied that if it was me I definitely would. LOL He did turn around. It was an awesome ride on my bike though, I do remember that. That huge house that was built right on the edge of that several hundred foot sheer drop off was amazing. I would have NEVER been able to sleep in that house though. I do NOT have a fear of falling, I have a fear of LANDING.
