I'm 82 and been a welder all my life and its jobs like this that are gratifying, and much more that it was done out in the desert away from a shop, RORY is a thinker, alway adusting to the problem and making things work, he never stops thinking, which sets him apart, great fix, I bet that trailer if it was fixed in the 50's it would still be running today, I loved it, great camera work too.

In my 60 years of towing, wrecking yard and parts house experience I have never heard of or seen anyone do that. I am again humbled, wow.

Rory you are indeed the master at repairing things that are impossible to repair. The spindle repair was outstanding.

I hope that everyone who watches this channel stays for the outtakes at the very end, they almost always a lot of fun!! Thanks, Rory, Mike, and Shawn

It's the Mike and Shawn Show! With Rory Irish! And featuring Trail Mater and Big Blue!Let's join the crew as they traipse across some of the most rugged and yet beautiful country around and demonstrate their amazing skill in order to save someone stranded. Still looking for the perfect theme song for the show so choose whatever YOU like best. Me, I like these guys! Best to all of you at Moab Motorsports. Give Lilli a hug for me and God Bless you all.

Rory has done so much "on trail" welding that I was not worried at all that it would be towable out of there, well done to all.

I love Mike's reaction to the wheel spacer. As if a great mystery had just been solved.

Rory what a welding job. You look professional by about 200 percent. My father, brother's, and uncle were each certified welders. Hours of welding upside down, right side up, up hill, down hill and all the tests. Not one of them could probably compare to Rory's talents. The man knows how to lay a bead. Way to go Rory.

Been on the White Trim trail 3 times in the last 7 years ( but not during Covid, when it was shut down). Decades back I was on it a few more times also. Iv'e seen rigs pulled out w/straps or ropes by someone in their group (I assume), but I've never seen someone like TM pull a spindle, (on a trailer) grind & then weld it, and then piece it back together again, so it could be pulled out. That's real 'art, mechanical prowess & know how" to pull that off. For those that have not done the loop, there is beautiful scenery on various parts of the trail route.

Rory, 100% genius grade "out in the middle of nowhere make do" repair! I am once again amazed!

You guys are great. Thanks for the clean classy videos. No cussing, exploitation’s, or drama. Just Good Ol Boys having fun. God Bless

When I was young, sketchy was the common way to get stuff done! As I grew older (but not much wiser) I found that sketchy stuff seems to hurt more, or cost more, than just doing it right the first time. Note: sketchy stuff still gets done, just not as often or dangerous as it used to be. Old age sux.

I just love the hood with scoop you put on your truck !

If they added trail repairs to the wrecker olympics, no one could touch Rory in that category.

Welding a spindle with stick in the field....Outstanding AF... You should be in every welding manual in every Tech School across the country.

Watching these videos never gets old. Really enjoy the trail fixes, as they usually involve some interesting engineering. Much love and respect, God bless.

Good rescue guys. No doubt the wheel adapter/spacer on an overloaded trailer had NOTHING to do with the axle snapping off. Engineered to fail comes to mind.

Rory I just realized something you are without a doubt the MacGyver of Towing you always figure out a way to get the job done. Plus you have TrailMater the rolling toolbox. I really like the new hood

Rory, you already give away free entertainment and how-to. Way better than stuff.

These “overlanders” crack me up. In the 60s all you needed was a Honda scrambler, a sleeping bag, a pack with a spare pair of Levi’s, undies and a bunch of socks. And an adventurous spirit.

Nice weld job on the axle. I am super impressed with how it went and the fact it was so close in alignment. Nice hood for the new wrecker.

Rory is a true master of his craft.

The numbers of scam's out there is crazy I want the people tracked down period . Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel

Nice repair Rory!! Tell the customer to leave the wheel spacers at home next time.

The Three Amigos back at it doing what they do best riding around doing dangerous stuff Trail Mater to the rescue

Another successful recovery. Rory welding, TrailMater hauling it out. Simply awesome video.

I welded a flange back onto a Timberjack skidder axel one time. I told the man no guarantee as to how long it would last. It went through the woods wobbling and was still wobbling when he went out of business a year latter.

The trailer owner should ditch those 4-in wheel spacers and get an axle to make up the gap, because I think that is what broke the axle.

Nobody can hold a candle to your talent. Well done and that canyon road was beautiful and scary.

Rory, your mad rock crawling skills and your even madder trail repair skills are beyond compare! Respect! And I'mm really enjoying watching your true personality come out as you become more and more comfortable being in front of the camera. You and your team do AMAZING work and produce terrific videos! Total props Good Sir!

Another trail repair done better than most guys could do in their shop!

The “3 Muskateers”” on a Heavy Rescue. Thanks guys for sharing your great friendship and amazing nature spiced with great driving skills too🇩🇰

Great save for a stranded traveler you really did a good job getting that thing relatively close to straight and balanced! Well done guys👍👍

Awesome trail side repair. Nice upgrade to Ol Blue. Good times in Moab.

Another BRILLIANT trail-side repair, what a team, what a collection of amazing expertise!

Awesome weld job on that spindle!!!! Skill to the nines.

Welding a spindle, or should I say part of a spindle, back on on the trail, then towing it back out to the rally point. I know I haven't seen it all on this channel, but this one was pretty good. Like the new hood. Pretty awesome.

Great work Team! About 15 years ago I found myself in the same situation except with a 36" Rome disk. It was early spring and the spindle broke off when they hit a huge chunk of frost. We welded the spindle back on with 6013 and then 7018 rod. We couldn't get a seal right away so my co-worker found a Tupperware lid that fit the O.D. and we trimmed the I.D. to fit. Funny thing is it lasted all summer. Just kept pumping grease in it everyday. Changed it out in the fall. Good times.

The master at work again, I would have said it couldn't be done, but Rory is a universal tool, everyone should carry one.

Overland = Overload. Amazing field welding job! Ole Blue is getting fancy :)

I've said it before and I'm sayin again, your content is second to none, your knowledge and craft are top tier, your whole team are great Rory, keep the vids a rollin. Thank you

@trailmater Team. IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT ! Y’all have some of the best camera work and editing, out of the few off-road similar channels I watch, excellent.

Another great recovery and welding. Thanks for taking us along again, we appreciate you and Mike and Shaun.

I love this ! The older we get, the less “Sketch” we tend to enjoy. Keep it up guys. Awesome work !!!❤

Your trail fixes are amazing. You never fail to impress.

Camber and toe-in guaranteed by Rory. Amazing job, amazing scenery!

Another creative off road repair. Right tools, right knowledge, right crew to get it done. Beautiful scenary of the territory shown, not too much talking. Well done as usual!

Excellent work. I'm blown away that you can lift that out the dirt, weld it up and tow it out.

Your ingenuity always amazes me. Can't wait to see you do trail repairs on Matt's and Paul's wreckers during the Olympics

Rory: "this is going to be sweet" when he realises how people will react to his repair. He certainly hangs it out there...

It's amazing how much gear these folks were hauling. In 1987 we took 3 days driving around the white rim in a Subaru 4wd wagon. Climbing up the mineral bottom switchbacks at the end was awesome.

Professionally faked it until it maked it. You rock, Rory. That's one excellent welder, as well as weldor.

Oh wow I've done some sketchy stuff in my life to and it worked, but welding a spindle back together is a new one for me! If anyone can do this it's Rory and Mike and Sean though and they welded it back together and towed the trailer out like a boss! Amazing we love this channel because of repairs like this!

Schaefer Trail and white rim are my favorites in Moab, although they aren’t as challenging as the insane rock crawling trails. However, the views and terrain I think are some of the best.

New Wrecker content. Y'all know how to make this old dude happy. Thank You.👍

That was a great demonstration of skill and expierence guys. Thanks for the scenery. and thanks for no crappy Music !

That was very impressive 👏 u showed confidence in your weld, and not that many people would have had the stones to make that repair..just saying. U got skills 👏

Old Blue deserves that new hood!! She looks great!!

3” cowl hood for the win! I love all the panning you guys do with the cameras while driving..the scenery may be old news to the people of Utah but I’m from Ohio and the views are unbelievable.

Damn! -Old Blue is looking mean as hell now!

As one who owned a welding business and did many off-road repairs. What you did on that trailer was pretty darn cool!

Eyecrometer to the rescue again. I concur with the assessment of "amazing." What's next, a cracked head welded and ground by eye out on the trail? From my view I could see a little camber off and maybe a tiny bit of alignment. Thanks for posting.

Another great recovery/repair video and as always Taikuu for the shots of the cliffs and canyons, awesome scenery gentleman.

Impressive welding repair to get them out. Some different views which are really awesome. Thanks for sharing

Finely, finely calibrated eyechrometer at work. Good job as usual.

Rory the master off road mechanic. Another beautiful video.

That new hood should make old blue go a lot faster, thanks guys 🤣🤣

Dang that’s the second turtle back trailer you guys have rescued in the last month or so. I’ve never been a big fan of those spacers that add more leverage. Especially when it’s not a solid axle

To my untrained internet eye: welding the axle shaft looked perfect. Well done Rory!

That was quite the fix I would of never thought it would of made it out kudos to you for having confidence in your weld that was pretty amazing

Rory. Again Amazing. I learn something about welding and fabrication every time I watch. I just have basic welding. Watching your experience and channel encourages me to pursue more welding and fabrication classes.

Sketchy made you what you are today now a professional !! Nice job Sir !! 🤔👍👍👍👍

I’ve replaced a ton of spindles on heavy trailers . You did one hell of a trail fix ! That is the worst thing about Timbren axles is the spindles breaking.

I am terrified of heights, it is so beautiful there but I could never drive down those roads without having a panic attack. You are all very brave and thank you for the videos because I know there's no other way I would see these places in real life.

Holy cow that was an eye candy overload of driving today. Crazy views as always. Great video!

5:16 The big ass wheel spacer is the main contributor to braking the spindle off!

One word for you Rory, “COOL 😎😎😎‼️‼️

Yes, another amazing recovery! Thank you, guys!

3:00 just about puckers me up just seeing that huge canyon on the side of the road!!

Awesome job getting that broken spindle welded back on and being able to drive out on it! 👍💯

Thanks for rescuing us! From the guy who was with the guy that broke

When the world finally goes full mad max, whichever war lord these guys gonna serve surely gonna have the best fleet in all the lands.

Man, my fear of heights would prevent me from driving that road y'all were on. I'd be hugging the wall so tight there wouldn't be any paint left on my doors. Impressive trail repair Rory, and once again great support by Shawn and Mike.

Love those Trail side fixes Trail Matter the Swiss Army knife of off road recovery! Thank you for sharing this video!

Thanks Rory, Mike, Shaun and Trail Mater*wat a machine for the awesome scenery...I wowed a couple of times on that trip...

Rory you ,Sean and Mike make an awesome team. Amazing job there. ❤️🙏🙏👍👍🌟🌟❤️. God bless

thank you Rory for your conversation about your subs being scame .your a good man for careing about our well bing . good video today.

Awesome repair. That trailer just looked HEAVY just watching how it towed. Thanks Rory Mike n Shawn !

Big thick honking wheel spacer. "I've never had problems with spacers!" until you do and the spindle shits the bed..

Rory you never cease to amaze me. Welding a spindle back together……..never thought that could happen and successfully make it off the trail. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Shawn and Mike too. Great scenery and camera work. BTW, isn’t most of what you guys do just a little sketch?

Beautiful scenery in Canyonlands. Working in that scenery must be great.

Not only some very creative fabrication work, but some beautiful scenery. Good camera work guys.

As usual Rory, you never cease to amaze me....SUPERB repair/weld job! I tried to weld ONCE, never tried again lol.

Old blue looks sweet with the new hood

Amazing eyecromitor use there !! The three Amigos hit it out of the park for sure!

Now you have a Black & Blue for all the bumps and dings !

As always ... a clear understamding of the problem and making do withbwhat you have. Awesome work!

Rory I'm a welder and a mechanic by trait and I could definitely say I love watching your videos keep up the great content and you work upon the theory that I do you can't screw something up that's already screwed up!!!😎😎😎😎😎🤘

Moab is in my state / backyard, yet I never get tired to seeing it in the videos. Great job as usual doing what others would consider as an impossible trail fix. Wow .... Rory has a big wingspan to be able reach around and lift a truck hood off all by himself.

Thanks guy for being sooo real, it's refreshing !! What a great bunch of dudes ! I want to see a Rory, Shawn and Magical Mike repair the space shuttle soon ! Hot Dang Rory, what a killer hood , hope you leave it like it is !!
