Be sure to “Thumbs Up” folks, because Rory and crew REALLY deserve it!

You know what's great about you guys ?, We all just want to be part of the gang, it looks like we'd have so much fun just hanging out and doing recoveries. Another fun video guys 😎😎😎😎

You don't need a second channel, just keep doing what you're doing with this one. It's always entertaining. You guys are such good value. The difference between on and off road... Well now that's a bit of a grey area... 😂😂

Mater is the ultimate test rig for parts durability 💪

Love Lilly. Doors and cup holders! But she is riding in some of the coolest off-road trucks around. She will look back upon these days as her best.

Maintenance is never ending and your explanations are spot on

You’ve got such a great crew! If I was running a business, these are exactly the kind of guys I’d want !

@ 8:30 "How a Boss assembles a camera crew" 🤩 This video with the fade outs and fade ins was cutting edge cool.

Yeah man, don’t forget da cup holders! Ya gotta make Lily happy 😆

The Olympic Gold Medal should just be a golden 8 in honor of trail M8er. We all know who’s gonna win!

Another great video. Your little Princess has grown so much since the last video she was in with you. God bless you and your family and your crew. They all are amazing. ❤️❤️👍👍🙏🙏🌟🌟❤️❤️

Thanks for explaining the difference in the wreckers!! Your explanation is easy to visualize. Thanks to you and the boys for being so damn entertaining!!

Rory hitting bushing with a hammering device - "That's not working" Hits bushing with fist - "Done!"

Towing skills are definitely in your favor for the tow truck Olympics. People need to understand that every different style of tow truck is designed for a different reason. You have designed your tow trucks for the type of towing that you do. I'm thinking about building a off-road tow truck for the trails and mud here on the east coast

"You get a camera, you get a camera, everyone gets a camera" - LOL

No need for a second channel for shenanigans. I love watching you, Mike, and Shawn just hanging out.

OK now I'm really looking forward to the Tow truck Olympics! Lily is still totally adorbs and she's growing fast. The grandiose motions about the (missing) door and the way she speaks show how she's changing as kids do at that age. Kids are information sponges by design and definition and Lily's not missing a beat. And she's got cool shades. Cheers from Ottawa!

Can't wait to see you guys do your thing at the tow truck Olympics

The explanation at the end about the two tow trucks was really good!!.......Rory is finding he does this ad lib thing in front of the camera pretty naturally.......Very few people can do that successfully.......Still short and sweet and quick does not lose the audience......Well done!!

There will be far more drama in the cyber world than there be at the Tow Truck Olympics. Even though Paul is extremely competitive he likes to have fun. I'm sure the Olympics will be a lot of fun and hopefully showcase each trucks strength and crew abilities. Thanks Rory for the descriptions of your trucks differences. The modifications on each are designed for their purposes. Every time you explain a different specification on Trail Mater it really shows your knowledge of the recoveries you deal with. Great stuff!

That's why we watch your channel - "We'll Figure It Out!" ------- LOVE IT! G000000 MATER!

I was excited when you were headed to Grand Junction, because I lived there for many years. Oh well. I think Trailmater IS the perfect off road recovery vehicle, nice to see maintenance on it. I enjoy all your videos, sometimes wish they were 30+ minutes, but they're all fun. Lilly always steals the spotlight whenever she's on, so adorable! Much love and respect, God bless all of you.

Your photographer is getting better, those stars were amazing…

I like the commentary at the end. Also for the wrecker rodeo Mater has been around much longer so you know your truck. Everyone else is building one just for the event. All of you guys have a good one!

Trailmater is a perfect design for off road recovery. The videos prove that. Thanks for the tour 👍💪🏼

Gotta respect Rory’s good attitude about things.

The blue truck is one of the coolest truck I've ever seen. Love the rear end design.

Taikuu for another great video Rory, Shawn and Mike. We're looking forward to the Tow truck Olympics, should be a lot of fun. Hello Lily, good to see you spending time with your Dad, enjoy and hello from Fairbanks, Alaska USA.

Another great video. Amazing that you need to explain why you set up YOUR equipment the way you do. I think you and your crew do an outstanding job. Thanks again for posting and sharing.

Your rig Mater is proven itself time and time again. Same with your crew. Your truck is what all off-road tow trucks are compared to. You set the mark! And everyone is playing catch up. Love your content Rory and crew keep it up. Much love here from Canada 🇨🇦

I would love to see TrailMater 2. I can only imagine the fun you guys have off camera.

Out of the group of you guys doing this towing contest, you are by far the best and i love the attitude you have it’s truly hilarious and so real! Keep having fun with your crew!

Along with everything else, the video editing is awesome. The time-lapse segment of the stars at night is a nice touch.

Rory you and your team are doing great with what you're doing in the videos you don't need another channel you keep us entertained as part of the family. We love the clips with Lilly too.

That transition shot with the sky @ 5:30 was badass dude damn I really dig that

Whoa parking brake addition! Neat to see where the "wear" differences are and just how much abuse TM takes with cracks, etc. Had been curious about the front weightsing from previous vids and that was cool to see.

Love seeing the maintenance videos, keep up the great content guys!

Your reasoning for the difference in wreckers is quite valid. Mater, is meant to be a back in the ROUGH rescue truck, and serious trail repairs. Blue, is for more local, not so rough rescues, and is more street friendly. You and the guys just keep up the good work.

Sometimes the simple needs to be explained, I had not fully understood the how and whys of the difference in the cable routing between Ole Blue and Trailmater now things are so much clearer, thanks for the time spent point this out.

Y'all have an amazing ability to improvise on the spot! Great skill to have when in the middle of the desert on a job.

Rory, you and your crew are some of the nicest people on the internet. I like how you guys always find a solution to the problems set before you. Cheers from the left edge of Canada. ~ulrich

awesome as usual, thanks for the upload. Rory seems to actually enjoy being on camera now and Mike and Sean (Shawn?) are great as well. A second, age-restricted channel for outtakes, jokes and bloopers would be a great idea. :)

Lilly being honest is the best! 🤣

I started off (and still am) a HUGE fan of Matt's Off Road Recovery - and have only recently become a HUGE fan of trailmater. In the short time though that Rory has been posting videos - I keep looking forward to new content because... 1.) Driving off-road in a WRECKER - with no doors - filming with one hand while steering - and shifting with the other 2.) Multiple off-road welding, repairs and parts swapping on recovered vehicles 3.) a LOT of breathtaking scenery, editing and all-around great videography 4.) The ability to not only trailer a vehicle out, but also suspend one from a boom - and then drive over very challenging terrain while SIMULTANEOUSLY remote-extending and retracting the cable in and out so the recovered vehicle doesn't smash into his tow-rig. 5.) His rig is loaded with a shit-ton of things categorized under the heading: "It's far better to have THIS and not need it - then to need THIS and not have it" These are but a FEW of the reasons why 'I' think his channel has grown quickly and why 'I' think it'll be very tough for most to challenge him in an extreme recovery situation - - much less hope to beat him in any 'Olympic' type event. That's my 2¢

you know what's funny Rory, that you have to explain the difference between both the wreckers when it's obvious to us with common sense :) Keep up the good work boys!

I like that you keep Mater in tip top shape and not tip over shape. Your new wrecker just doesn't have any personality , dings and dents, to it yet. Good video

"Trail mater after dark" venture into the shop with rory and his crew to see the gritty side of off road recovery . I would love to see unedited shop videos.

What's crazy is I was just writing congratulations on 100k...I look today...123k!! Fantastic and well deserved! Love that you have no drama! Keep up the good work Team Rory!! Much love from NC.

“We may not have the perfect machine, but we’ve got the perfect crew and we’ll figure it out” (accompanied by Rory’s maniacal chuckle) is the perfect by-line for Moab Motorsports. Perhaps all of your videos should start with this clip Rory. 😁 👏 👹

You guys are all hilarious and it comes across a natural, not phony.

Thanks for explaining the differences... and updates on the Olympics... you do have the perfect TEAM and incredible trail repair skills... and don't forget the driving skill too... Thanks

I appreciate the efforts you all make to be able to publish family friendly videos for youtube. But I'm sure there are pure gold clips that don't meet the criteria for successful monetization.

Chief Shaun and two dogs stuck together doing amazing job while the boss is away 🤣

As far as the tow truck Olympics go, I have watched yours and other videos, they don't need to show up. You are by far the king of off road towing.

I find it interesting that both Matt & Paul are using some of your ideas for their own equipment. By you sharing the what you learned the hard way just makes other recovery business's better. Good video of Shawn & Mike in the shop keeping the trucks in good working condition. You have a great team that work well together. Thanks for sharing.

I stopped by moab motorsports in 2021 based on recommendation of another local mechanic. Was having issue with a detroit locker and Rory and his crew shared their opinion and were super helpful. Cool to find his videos

It's true! Behind every great man there is a strong woman. "I like the cup holders, but not much else". Inspiration to make the little one happy! Awesome show here, thank you.

The cool thing about these Utah men, they take the call. They go to customers aid, aren't afraid to get dirty, and get the job done. And they have fun doing it. Love this guy and his team!

Mater is an amazing, and capable rig, and you are an amazing operator with true skills!

Between You, Matt and Paul, each of you have a little different kind of terrain that you are dealing with the most. Makes me think the "perfect" rig for each of you would be a little different and work a little different. Pretty sure nothing could beat Trail Mater at what you specialize in. Pretty sure you guys will all have a blast at the competition!

You’ve got some awesome help Rory. Love the channel.

words can not describe what you guy's are capable of doing. you guy's are incredible !!

you guys do a great job, always enjoy watching the great camera perspectives!

Rory, I agree with you. The Olympics is about getting together with good friends, and having fun, not about winning. Well, maybe a little about showing off you and your vehicle's recovery skills. 😉

In my opinion , You and you're crew will do well and have a lot of fun . I am surprised that they are not consulting you . If it were up to me each of you as contestants would design part of the event , that way everybody getes to show off there machine , skills , and adaptability . There will be fun , there will be adventure , and there will be carnage . Thank you .

HAHA, The Trail Mater After hour's SHOW !! Yes sir 🤣

Cool Timelapse through the night

Just watched a video from one of your "competitors". Rolled a jeep they were towing with what looks like the customer in it. You guys are definitely on a different level! I also want to thank you for taking time for my 4yr old to check out Tow Mater at your shop this spring. He still talks about it

Great explanation of the differences. Also... glad your crew got you a park brake going... that oughta be handy!

Would have never found you if it were not for Matt, FabRats, Bleepin Jeeps, but you are quickly becoming one of my favorites. Your down home people and I like that.

With all due respect to your experience, you will continue to shred shackle bushes on your leaf springs if you tighten them while the vehicle is hanging in the air like you appeared to do this time. The truck should be lowered to the ground and resting on it's own weight before tightening the bolts up on the shackles. Since they sit that way a vast majority of the time the bushes should last a lot longer instead of torqued/tensioned in the air where they never sit very long. Thanks for a great channel, I love watching the landscapes you drive through.

I am looking forward to seeing the rules the Olympic committee will present. Thanks for sharing the features of your recovery vehicles. Every feature has its placement calculated to maximize its effectiveness for getting the job done. Even the "Victory Dew" needs a cup holder to proudly display the accomplishment it represents. Lilly is a brave girl and trusts her dad completely.

Thanks for showing the stars it is beautiful

The "Trail Mater 2" channel sounds great! I'd be in!!

We know one thing for sure. If you get a call for a rescue you will be there and get it done come hell or high water. We really enjoy watching how you get it done. Thanks for doing what you do Rory.

A note to Mr Mike . On those emergency brake cables, I would soak in diesel fuel . Worked like a charm for me I lived in an area where there was a lot of road salt used . Just thought I would throw in My 2 cents . Back in the seventy I had an old 65 Ford truck one ton . The previous owner had installed what was I think called a micro lock . Step on the brakes flip a smaller lever and release the pedal and all four brakes are locked . Providing all of your brakes are good . It worked great Check it out . Have a great day boys , stay safe . Terry

Thanks for explaining the difference in the two trucks. That part about the Boom going forward on the Blue truck made sense. I have seen it happen on Oilfield Trucks where someone forgot to secure the Gin Poles to the bed of the truck before driving. As far as the Wrecker Olympics, since one size does not fir all, there should be separate competitions pertaining to what the wrecker is designed to do. From what I've seen, nobody really has the experience or a real off road wrecker that can compete with your knowledge and Trail Maters ability when it comes to off road recovery. I'm sure Matt has something figured out that will make it fair and entertaining. Good Luck !

Rory and Trail Mater have already proven themselves . It’ll be pretty tough to trip them up . I’m sure Matt will put something together that is entertaining that’s what gets views, likes and shares and that’s what KZfaq is about making $$$

Nice work on the e-brake, boys. Way to make do with what you've got. Cool night time lapse. 🌌

Oooh, I really like those time-lapse shots! 😁

Thanks Rory and you guys for welding up my shock mount on the old Bronco at your shop today. Good to meet everyone. Good People.

You guys are the best without a doubt trailmater is the king of offroad recovery by far. Peace

Cool video. I enjoy shop videos. Anyone who questions your truck setup obviously doesn’t have your experience doing extreme off road recovery. It’s one thing to pull a stuck vehicle out. But to recover a broken vehicle and haul it out of an extreme off road situation is an entirely different need. Trailmater works great because no doubt it has evolved over time and modified to do what it does really well. But the important factor that makes it work great is the guy in the drivers seat. You make the truck work because you know it’s capability and you know your area well. Now but the average weekend off roader in your truck and it would probably not be successful

your rigs. your shop. your business Rory! the sheer pleasure of following along your shop and off-road recoveries keeps coming back. Oh and I'd totally support and subscribe to a Trail Mater 2 non family friendly channel as well.

You're going to laugh, everyone at work did... I did the same exact rigged setup for a cable 2 weeks ago as a throttle cable in my Comanche when it snapped. I ran to a bike shop and grabbed a bicycle brake cable. I split the sheath, used the oem cable on the throttle body side, threaded the bicycle cable on the pedal side, and I used two cable stops as clamps in the center. It was tight, I could feel the engine vibrations in the pedal, but did she get me home and back to work the next day.... F to the yes. The correct cable came in the 2nd day. Edit: ****Each truck has it pros and cons for the job and terrain it was built to work in.****

i just enjoy watching Trail Mater ,WHY, watching A team enjoy what there doing

Rory there is not a more confident 4X4 recovery specialist than you I know of. You would make a fighter pilot sick with the angles you travel at every day. Keep making your videos like you are they are perfect for my liking as well as most everyone.

Another banger for your tow trucks favorite tow truck company 🔑

Lilly’s right definitely need some cup holders! 👍🏼

"I like the cupholders... Some other stuff too, but not that much" Rory your kid's got some sass already, she's gonna be savage as a teenager 🤣

I love how Rory just lays it out there like it is this is what I do that's why I created my truck the way I did like it or lump it

EXPERIENCE is 90% of any competition and you got it won by a long shot--no second channel just more on this one

I love hearing from the Lilly perspective. "I like the cup holders! ".

You know what a true recovery rig requires. But, one can have the most capable recovery rig in the world, and if they don't know how to use it, it then becomes the most worthless recovery rig in the world. I enjoy watching the rigging you and your crew do to safely recover vehicles. You guys face some really nasty challenges at times and always figure it out. Great job!!!

Being in the shop is one thing and the other is going out for recovery where they all get stuck and out by Rory the Trail Mater plus the help he has 👍👌🙌 getting it done is the real thing

Always good stuff! Do it your way, and don’t listen to the garbage! 😎

Rory thank you for explaining the difference I was wondering about that. I will say when it comes to the tow truck Olympics that a lot of people have said and I am one of those people that they are betting on you and TrailMater. I thought you had an interesting braking system for TrailMater and it worked well I thought. I am sure it will be better now. Keep up the great work

Years ago as a young journey diesel mechanic, I had a young Navajo Indian kid as my apprentice. He was a great kid and reminds me of Shawn. That makes me smile alot. As far as the tow truck Olympics. You will rain on there parade. They should stay home and be embarrassed by tge way you hand them there ass. Our money is on you and your team. I'll be belly up to the pay window to collect my $$$. Thanks for the entertainment and the smiles.

Thanks Rory and crew for another fun video. Love your content!😎

Trail mater is like a book , with lots of pages that took a long time to write good job.😀
