I am the owner of the TJ and I really appreciate Rory and his crew getting it out safely. It was a real drag breaking the axle in the middle of Golden Spike, I knew it wasn't gonna be easy to tow it out. I looked for an axle in the Moab area and nobody had one, towing out was the only option. The guys did a great job and on Thanksgiving Day, which was not expected but very much appreciated. If I would have known they might try and weld it, I had the tool in my box they were missing...bummer. Note: Ordered two new rear Chromoly axles, parts are in and repair/upgrade will be underway. Thanks to the person that said it looks like a nice rig that is capable and also street drivable, it does sort of split the difference, but I did tow it to Moab from Southern CA...good thing I did.

Rory's skill never ceases to amaze me, and Sean is a very trusting man. He looks so calm being dragged backwards through those obstacles. He has nerves of steel (or balls of brass).💪 🙈

Shawn is sitting in the Jeep dangling facing down the waterfall and the amount of concern on his face is about as much as someone looking over a lunch menu. You're a great team!

Hats off to the cameraman for the extreme bravery! Filming the intro straight from a diamond billed rock pecker nest is really something!!!

The waterfall scene was intense. Rory working multiple winches and feathering the clutch. Mike watching the pole and filming. Mater chugging down to 200rpm. And Sean hanging on for dear life!! 😮

That opening shot is awesome man. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for sharing

finally that someone cares about others, who gets the rocks out of the way

I love those camera angles under the rig as you go over obstacles. Kudos to your camera crew. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

The nuttiest recovery service for sure. Love watching you guys horsing around and recovering broken-down vehicles. 🤣🤣🤣

Amazing technica extraction skills. I'm REALLY looking forward to the tow truck Olympics! The camera work is almost as impressive as the driving. Most people would be too afraid of the obstacles to record anything, much less looking for creative shots.

That wrecker is a beast, and Rory damn sure knows the limits of his abilities: Endless Great team work Shawn and Mike. I always enjoy the shows. Thanks guys

Rory and Sean are terrific drivers. Always amazed (and I’ve ridden dirt bikes all over that area). Going up that trail, facing backwards, with three wheels, was Sean, steady the whole way with nerves of steel.

And this is exactly why Rory will win the “Tow Truck Olympics!” Great job guys!

Staying focused on the recovery's & not trying to sell sell sell products. Keep it original & we'll keep watching.

That was an awesome recovery. In my mind Trail Mater and crew have already won the tow truck Olympics.

The extraordinary for everyone else is another day at the office for the Trail Mater team. Thanks again for the great entertainment.

Strong effort on recovery. Im nominating your crew for an academy award on camera work! Love dirt

Like the editing on the intro. Always fun to go along on any of your recoveries but It’s special when Trail Mater is on the job. I’m surprised Shawn made it as far as he did riding backwards on that terrain.

The skill Rory shows, climbing the waterfall, coordinating clutch, winches, and pole and not damaging the customers' rig is impressive, as always. Love the snacheting ratch-block!🤪🤣🤣🤣

Rory has been moving big rocks that way for thousands of years. Don't try it yourself he's a professional.

Now I picture a flood of calls from broken vehicles looking for the famed rock!

I just love how much fun you guys have out there doing your job!! You can tell how much you really enjoy what you do and where you do it. Thanks for taking us along on the adventures, Rory, Mike, & Shawn.

Great video! From the first "hole shot" edit to the crazy recovery with shawn dangling in the Jeep to the great drivig skills and camera work, that was a wild adventure. Thanks for bringing us along.

Maybe not the most spectacular recovery, but probably one of the best that demonstrates the skills of Rory, Shaun & Mike, and the awesome capabilities of Trail Mater. It's subtle, watch it twice and appreciate the skills.

Going up the waterfall looked sketchy as a MOFO but look at Sean in the Tj no concern and no fear, it's a testament to faith and trust in you and what you do. GREAT WORK GUYS!

Another great recovery with awesome film work . Shawn , that has to be one heck of a crazy ride being towed backwards along with wild angles side to side and forward and back . You guys are one hell of a team !

The trail mater camaraderie is the best. The guys work well together, always safely. The ball breaking is exactly what you would expect from that team.

I wish there would have been a camera inside the Jeep to catch Sean's expressions and reactions. 🤣😂😅😆😁 ya gotta love the guy. Thank you Rory and crew.

Front digs in every video. Who's with me?

Trail Mater is a BEAST!!!! Paul and Matt better be practicing because they're going to have their hands full going against Team Trail Mater!!

I’m having a hard time imagining someone can come up with a tow truck Olympics that you guys would lose. Thanks for the fun video!

The ultimate off road vehicle is the one that can rearrange the terrain to suit your needs while you drive it. Haha. Epic.

Damn ! I love watching Rory use that torque ! 👀

"The rock in the wheels, goes round and round, round and round".

I watched twice 1st for the rescue, 2nd for the landscapes, I marvel at the footage you capture, you truly reveal the grand, spectacular wonder of the area

Watching Rory simultaneously use three winches while pulling a TJ up already-ballsy obstacles was beyond great content, but then y'all had to show us the "ratcheting snatch block" *patent pending. Bravo, guys.

Man you guys are a good example of true teamwork I’m sure there is yelling and throwing we don’t see but you guys get done always fun to watch

Love the intro. Very creative. Those are some BIG rocks you relocated there Rory. No matter how many times I see the front wheel crawl it still impresses me, you have fantastic skills. Shawn got quite the ride in reverse. Your camaraderie is wonderful to see. Thanks to Mike and for the excellent cinematography.

The quality of the last few videos has been exceptional!

This is why ladies & gentlemen, Rory & crew will win the Wrecker Olympics hands down.

This is a great example of the teamwork required to pull off a recovery like this. Everyone working together to get the job done and still having fun while they do it!

Thanks for takin us along for another adventure and thanks for no crappy music !

That was a wild recovery guys. Ya know, folks pay big money at amusement parks to get a ride like Shawn just got.

First the "sky hook", now the "retching snatch block" not to mention the "Dimond bill"! Yu guys are so COOOOOOOL. great video!!!!

The waterfall winching was the reason I keep on coming back to this great channel: such great skills all round. Hats off to you Rory: thanks mate.

Hi Team!! So many things could be commented on… But to Rory it seemed to be one of his more technical, difficult, awkward recoveries…But it was the most hilarious, comic recovery ever!! Poor Sean in that jeep!! “Sea legs “, I’ll say!!! Thank you Mike for the picture of the deep gorge/Canyon..... And the jokes about “nothing going on here, it’s not like we’re on a ledge or anything” , YA RIGHT!! Loved the Dance banter at the end.. was cool, I bet Sean would be the best one, and the coolest dance!! AND the Trail Mater birth of the rock give away, hahaha! Thanks so much for the laughs!! And the holding of my breath on the climbs!!!

#1 in uploads. Thanks Guys. Never a dull moment. Ratcheting Snatch Block...If it works, it's golden.

Nice new BFG's!🙂

I love the infinite uses for electrical tape in these videos!

That backwards ride out had to be intense for Shawn!!

The Diamond-Billed Rockpecker cam!

Never watched a dissatisfying video by Rory and his team! Some of the best entertainment!

In every single video, even though I know to expect it, I'm still blown away by Rory's driving and trailmater's capability.

Sean can’t see where Rory’s taking him but he can see where Romy’s been. Good job as usual.

Watching a master at his craft is a pleasure. Fine work getting back up the Waterfall with the Jeep in tow.

I'm afraid I got lost at turn left at the little bush cause all I see is rocks🤣🤣🤣

That editing at the very beginning was a *TRIP!* 🤯🙂👍

I love all of the "unnecessary front digs"...I sure wish my rig could do that!

AMAZING!!!!!! Excellent driving Rory! This is my most favorite episode so far! Fantastic driving skills and working the winches at the same time! Crazy!👍🏻😎🇺🇸

I hope Shawn got some extra goodies for riding backwards and tilted face down. That sucked for him!! Great recovery.

I’m always amazed at the scenery around Moab. I have missed wheeling there the past view years. Riding backwards like that in the Jeep would have made me sick. Great job on that recovery guys!!!!!

After watching this video when it first came out, my family and I was so excited to see if the mater egg was still there. And I have to say the egg was there. The family was so excited.

Love the humor between Sean and Mike

Not many people can say they have done Golden Spike backwards in a 3 wheeled Jeep, But Shawn can.

Rory is so fashionable with his color coordinated matching gloves and hoodie, Please tell us he hasn’t gone Hollywood!

Great awesome, recovery and no damage done towing it out! Job well done guys

THANK YOU ,ESPECIALLY CAMERAMAN!,,THANK YOU FOR SHOWING SOME OF YOUR WORLD BACK DROPS..FANTASTIC COUNTRY,I WILL ALWAYS MISS THE AREA..SAFE TRAVELS..

We all know Rory & team can navigate absolutely unreal terrain & make it look easy... but add dragging a broken vehicle thru terrain most people & vehicles couldn't or wouldn't... on top of that.. this time Rory was operating THREE winches @ the same time. ( boom lift, Drag winch & Front bumper ) as the terrain & clearance changed.... I've been wheelin' since the 90s, been a professional tow operator since the 80s & Rory still impresses with his skill & creativity & trailside repairs.... Addicting content! I'm happy for Rory that his channel is growing.... good man, he deserves it!

It's funny going back through the videos and seeing the tread on the tires get bigger the farther back you go lol

Finally realized..you don't drive over the rocks...you make love to them, gently carefully with just the right amount of pressure on the throttle to make trailmatter do what you want it to do

Awesome recovery team doing an almost unbelievable job - and having fun doing it. Thanks guys.

I love Sean putting Mike on the spot. Lol God bless

Man that truck goes almost anywhere it wants, Amazing!

Another Great Rescue Guys! GO TEAM MATER! Thanks for Sharing!

Technically speaking, Shawn was land sick!

Thanks again for such a wonderful video!

Thanks, guys for the under carriage of trailmater over the rocks. Great view that we never get to see.

A few years ago, I met my Son at Moab and we rode a lot of the trails. One day he was with a group that did not allow quads, so I went by myself with my 550 Polaris Sportsman quad. (My Son had a Jeep) I found a group of 3 Jeeps on this trail, and I asked if I could go with them for the day. This is not the country to go quad riding alone! LOL I went everywhere just fine, and on the way back I had to go up the waterfall, and I was a little nervous. The Jeep guys said that from watching me all day, that I had this. I made it up it just fine. I don't remember anyone winching the whole day. I loved that ride. I still ride quads, I even bought a new one this year. I want to go back down to Moab some day, but I am a lot older now than back then. (75) It still looks like fun. The people that you meet on the trail are great too. I love watching these recoveries. Most people could not go there with their rig, and Rory goes there and hauls out broken vehicles. Every time I watch one of these videos, it impresses me.

I’ve learned a lot from your off road driving techniques! Thanks!

I saw that rock at the beginning and was thinking.. I bet that rock would absolutely YEET itself a mile into the sky on the freeway🤣

I noticed the rock between the tires early in in the video and again when you were moving the big rocks out of the way. Hopefully no sidewalls were damaged in the process on the new shoes. . Always fun to watch.

This video is prime example to not play cards against Shawn, he's one cool customer!

Sean is a warrior true nerves of steel. You guys are killing me. Priceless video.

Mater spinning all fours towing that jeep is epic 🤘🏽

I'll bet that was a wild ride from Shawn's perspective!

YOU ARE A ABSOLUTE MASTER AT BEING SOO SMOOTH AT ROCK CRAWLING MATT CAN ONLY DREAM ABOUT HAVING YOUR TECH-NIQUE KEEP UP THE CONTENT YOU ARE DOING GREAT

Cool video clip with Trail Mater through the rock cave right into Rory's intro... Good morning to the rest of the crew, Mike, Shawn and Chris too.... those brand new BFG's getting their intro to Moab 🙂 Maybe that warning sign should be a 4'x8' with LED flashing lights😂 and the remotes look great in their new home on the roll cage too.... WOW 🥰 a Trail Mater egg, even signed... should be worth $50k on the open market.... Shawn was soo cool and collected while his ride is standing vertical on the trail 🙂... and once again I always stay right to the very end... I LOVE the out take clips 🙂 you can probably paint the ratcheting snatch blocks yellow and sell them to Matt for a HUGE margin

Sean has balls of steel man getting towed backward and looking straight down at the ground

Thank you Rory for your entertainment reminds me of my teenage years. Although I do not have the support or the film crew of Mike and Sean watching you maneuver trail Mater as the gentle giant with precision and care for the customers vehicle. I truly admire your four-wheel-drive capabilities. I have not been on elephant hill in about 35 years The only photos that I have were taken by an old man Alta camera I did not know that I had purchased slide film instead of photographs, I will get them transferred to something visible and send you a few photos from the past. Thank you so much I have learned a lot from you and your team. Eric

remeber when matt moved something and had to put it back .......

Another great rescue RORY for TRAILMATER. Mike still the best camera person Shawn awesome steering backwards. You all make these jobs look so easies because you all have so much fun laughing.great entertainment

MIND BLOWN....!!!! GREAT RECOVERY GUYS...!!!! A GREAT TEAM IS ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL...!!!!

Oh man. When that old big block reaches deep for those ugga duggas . . . . no sweeter sound than that if you come from that land of torque where I come from.

Rory and team for the win at tow truck Olympics. If the other guys ever finish their rigs.

Rock and Roll redefined. Oh, Trail Mater.... mating causes fertile eggs, that egg will hatch. Another great work. Shawn will never need an amusement park ride again, He got more than his share on this ride.

Tonto looks so serious when he's working!!

Rory Is the king of “ I’m not put it in reverse”

Knowledge will win trailmatter Gold 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

You should always move rocks and make the trail easier ! ! ! ! YES. Then people will get stuck further and you can make better money...

The Tow truck Olympics is held in honor of TM... Nothing to see here or prove... Ratcheting Snatch Block and all! Great recovery as always!
