Carrying A Ranger Out Of Lockhart Basin
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Got a call for a Ford Ranger with a broken front coilover out on Lockhart Basin Road. The customer wanted us to go get the vehicle and get it out while they ordered parts and they could repair it but it would be out of that remote of an area. So we went in with Ol Blue and the scrambler. We took an extra 10 gallons of fuel with us to be sure we had enough. It was a very long drive into them. On the way out Blue ran out of fuel first, so we put 5 gallons in. Then the scrambler ran out about 10 miles from the trailer, so we put a couple gallons in it. Then we loaded the scrambler and the ranger on the gooseneck and started driving Blue as far as we could. Once it ran out we just left it, then Shawn and Mike came back in the morning and drove it back. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Thanks for the tow guys! For those wondering, the coilovers had a hard 70k miles on them so it wasn't too much of a suprise when it broke. We actually took it out and welded it back together( if you look at the shaft at 5:26 you can see whats left of the weld from the briefcase flux core welder). It made it a few more miles like that then broke again and thats when we decided to call rory. He was gracious enough to let us keep it in his yard for a few days while we waited on the parts to come in. We fixed it and then drove it 1800 miles back home to the east coast with no problems. 5 star rating, would use this buisness again lol
Cool seeing a vehicle I know but so sad at same time..
Glad you called the correct guys to fish you out!
k
Thank you for keeping us entertained ❤
Wow- long day at the office.... thanks for taking us along!
It's amazing how capable a basically stock square body is. And it's a shame GM hasn't made something like it since.
I will never understand why GM abandoned a solid front axle in favor of IFS, sad that chevy guys have to buy something else in order to get a solid front axle
Hands down my favorite off road recovery team!!
Shawn and Mike are the best sidekicks on the tube!!
Last week on the White Rim Trail I met the group that the ranger was traveling with. When I asked them if they had broken anything yet, they told me about the red Ranger. I knew this video was coming. Those guys drove from the east coast to drive a bunch of Moab stuff. That's cool that you had a job just right for the blue tow truck. I love your videos, and this one didn't disappoint.
Where'd did we see you? We all are back home safe and sound. 17 days of straight adventure. We hated leaving.
@@VentureUnknown Dark red 2-door Bronco, you guys were on the western half around one of the bathrooms on Thursday afternoon.
@@scottnelson1713 oh yea. I remember. It was a pleasure to meet you.
This recovery is a great example of why you want that big block torque. Nice job guys!
On the technical side, it's probably easy to impress an ignorant like me, but I'm always impressed by the torque and traction of your rigs in difficult terrain. Great video once again, and I never tire of the sound of Blue 😻.
Hope you guys never change or change the dynamic in the show. Some of the other channels seem to have gone more Hollywood and not the same. Keep up the awesome work.
Rory did go Hollywood. He got new teeth.
@@EMA-uk5ob I believe he posted about it. Medical related. In any case, whatever the reason, that is hardly “gone Hollywood” in my opinion.
Yeah I agree, some of the other channels that have gone full reality TV style has me feeling a little YELLOW about it.
Much respect to Rory and his crew. Y’all respect the land and have a great time doing it. !!!!
Thanks for keeping it real and no crappy music. The towbill on some of there recoverys must equal the worth of the vehicle.
The Utah Office of Tourism should really be paying you guys for the awesome job you do of promoting the rugged beauty of your state. The scenery shots are amazing on top of the fact that you make what you do for a living so interesting and fun to watch. Many thanks to all of you including the editor. Great job.
I want to thank you for rescueing one of our team members from Lockhart Basin. Its a doozy of a distance for sure. You did a fine job and was grateful for you service.
Ol Blue has some serious torque and traction! Matt would be proud of the gas situation haha
Big thank you to Rory and his crew for picking up after people who just don't seem to know any better. Look like a pretty good recovery for Blue. Great video! Great watching you guys!
12:13 😆 That was gangster, Shawn!!!
Another amazing recovery. Really put Blue thru the paces. Always impressed with where the duals go. Still training for dodging cones.
come for the recovery, stay for the scenery. respect to all
As usual, great teamwork! Blue did a great job handling some pretty rough terrain, but it is because of Rory's driving skill. And Mike, once again, great shots of the surrounding scenery to allow those of us not in Utah to appreciate the beauty of your area. Shawn, you always make me laugh with your laugh! Glad you all work together so well. It's so much fun to ride along with you.
Rory, you never cease to amaze me with your driving skills while towing on those rough trails. So elegant!
Bring a bag of PB&J sammiches along on each recovery!
Then they would have TomTom from Matt's Off Road Recovery
Those rocks definitely look like sandwiches.
Thanks Mikey for showing us stuff
Thats something that people dont apreciate...the amount of hours you guys put in and wihout lunch on these recoveries. Stay safe guys. Geat video.
I have an idea..pack a lunch....(?)....It's not like they don't know where they are goin'.
@@duder9752 good for you 👍
Another Danger Ranger rescued. Old Blue getting it done. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see Old Blue on a recovery.
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous! Have you encountered many roadrunners being chased by coyotes?
Rory conducting business while Mike is looking for buck rubs!! Mike has his priorities straight!!
Another fantastic recovery by Rory, Mike and Shawn. The scenery was magnificent and the recovery process was extremely exciting.
From Lloyd Downunder ;; Absolutely Amazing Vid, Recovery & Beautful and Amazing Country, CONGRATS Rory n Crew at Farmington, Rock On Ol Blue.👍💪🏁🏁🏁
Thanks for cleaning up the trash too 🙂 Whaaaat??? no gas stations in the middle of no where 😂🤣😂 Ole Blue has become a beast as it matures 🙂 Thanks for sharing
dude you guys just have the right attitude, it really brightens my day and depression fades away watching you guys just living life.❤
Mike's biggest concern is the quantity of snacks. Priorities! ✌🏼
Facts!
Nice recovery guys! He was definitely beyond walking distance from help!! That was some pretty sketchy country for a tow out. But, as usual, you guys did a right fine job!!
Old blue sounds awesome
I've been following you bandits for a long time and enjoy all the backyard mechanics and adventures.
But what really is impressive is the love and respect for the areas and picking up others trash!
Another great video and adventure for the Trail Mater Team. Thank you for the entertainment. Keep up the great work. 👍👍
On blue Holmes 440 was one of my first wrecker bed back in the late 70s
Ole blue is looking good
Your show is my favorite. I watch fab rats and Matt's offroad, but you guys are the best. Thanks for making a great show.
"Blue" made that look like a cake walk. That's one great ignition key!
Cool!
I’ll keep watching!
❤
Obviously Mike wasn't always a car mechanic, Well maybe that's what they call them where he came from!! LOL Mike to the rescue again. A man with a plan.
The continued and natural evolution of Old Blue into Trail Mater 2
As a fan of several recovery channels, I see why Rory and his crew are the go to guys.👌
There is no one on you tube that takes it to the limit that he and his crew does. He literally lives life on the edge everyday. The addrenilan has to be awesome.
@@Steelegotcha out of all of the channels that I subscribe to pertaining to off-road recovery, This is my favorite number one channel. This channel deserves to have 1 million subscribers. By-Far!! And I do everything I can to drive traffic to this website. By posting Rory’s videos on Facebook.
Could be wrong but seems he's been doing this and this specifically before he recorded it, before sponsors and outside recognition. Fishing people out of the rocks with American pushrods, leafsprings, hammers and stick welds. Some of the others I follow came to it from other fields in the past couple years, on road tow, heavy equipment recovery, body shop, one was even TV famous. I enjoy them all for different reasons and they're all different. Though Rory and Co. do some of the most difficult things, they do it on the daily, as ever, and to me at least it's more familiar to my life (though I don't do super hero stuff with my truck much). I love that it is all pig iron, cutting torch and possible to wrap your head around. When I price some of the stuff I see on some of the channels I'm like damn. Rorys stuff is capable and custom but a dreamer could see themselves heading to the pull and pick and getting started. Hope there's still enough of these old trucks kicking around to keep it going another couple decades. At least the diesels you could work on without a degree have seen a lot of inflation. Just fun people in 4x4 parts mecca doing things we wish we could, but not with stuff we couldn't dream of affording or risking damage to. (I know it ain't all cheap but you know what I'm saying) These guys are the real deal.
fkn a right
He's a savant
That's a beautiful place
wow, long trail ride .
Another great recovery by the TRAIL MATER crew! good job!
Old BLUE was doing WORK...SWEET
That was quite the ride, for that one.
Long days work.
Definitely nice to know there are people like you guys willing to do the job, and do it right!
Y'all are going to be hard to replace, when the time comes..
Appreciate all you do, so that we can be there with ya. 👍👍👍
Hey Rory!!
Always appreciate you giving us the history on the areas you frequent... (though we haven't had any recent updates on the plight of the Diamond Billed Rockpeckers🙀)
Such incredible country!!!
With you, WisconsinMike, and Shawn on the job, we KNOW it will be a success!! (And great camera documentation!!)
Safe travels, friends ❤❤
Stay FROSTY...
Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel...
🇺🇸🇺🇸WWG1WGA🇺🇸🇺🇸NCSWIC🇺🇸🇺🇸
Most TH-cam car-related shows are about power; Rory and the boys show that torque is king!
Ol' Blue is even more capable now he's got lockers!
Im about 10 beers into catchin up with current - Worth every beer of it!
Best Saturday night ever!
Love you guys!
Thanks for sharing that video. Great channel. 🛻
Hey guys thanks for the video
Sun up to sun down the scenery passing by your office door is stunning. You should add calendars and post cards saying "Wishing I Was There" to your website.
I love to watch your videos and see all the scenery in your part of the country great job on the video and the recovery
That’s a Gnarly track for old Blue 💪
Geez, the scenery! Do you even see it anymore
Nice video! Blue is a hard working truck. I like the low profile doors with cup holders.
Rory said the hard bar setup is not the way to go at the wrecker games. It looks like it works really well in the right situation (which Rory may have also said at the wrecker games). It would be cool to have an explanation of why you chose Old Blue on this one. Also, I would think having a bar available on Trail Mater would prove useful in certain situations.
Taking a chapter from Matt’s recovery manual, I see. “How to run out of fuel on a recovery”
Now we know how to “borrow” the blue truck if we see it sitting somewhere. Thanks Mike.
A hammer is just a hammer but in a skilled craftsman's hand it's a magical thing... Well Blue is a very special hammer and Rory an accomplished craftsman!!!! Fantastic video as always! You three sets the recovery while filming bar and way high!
Another successful recovery job in the books
What an awesome scenery. Not bad for an office.
Thanks for making
FANTASTIC COUNTRY.MISS IT VERY MUCH SO,,,THANK YOU
great job again.
Love the views thanks
Hey Guys; At minute 2:32, is that Jay Leno? (rock) You'll find him.....Oh and that tree that's NOT a tree ( past video ) is an observation post used for monitoring the poaching of the Diamond Billed Rockpeckers. I really enjoy your videos. Ya make me laugh & I learn a thing or two also. Thank y'all for sharing your adventures with us.
3/8 socket rod as an ignition key, genius Mike.
Wow what a work day you guys have with a view.
It just gets better. Slow and steady wins the race. Reminds me of the old bull/young bull story I grew up with. The young bull and the old bull were standing under a shade tree overlooking the herd of cows down below. The young bull said to the old bull, "Let's run down there and make love to a couple of the ladies." The old bull replied, "Let's just walk down there and make love to 'em all."
The video quality was AWESOME!
Another great adventure, that is some great back country, always enjoy the ride along
Great job guys it's very relaxing watching 👀😎 you do your thing and those Cactus I've got then growing under my stepdaughters bedroom windows . So the boys get a wake up call trying to get in 😂
Started out watching Matt & Rudy. Now Rory & crew are our faves! Even my wife & 90 y o gramma get mad if I start a video w\o them. Sorrreee! Keep up the good work 💯💪❤😅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲⚓
starting ol blue by a 3/8ths socket is very on brand, lmao
That scenery never gets old!!!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I was thinking not enough snacks, and Mike's about to get mugged ;)
Wow the light bar works great
🎵🎶That’s a George of the jungle route. Watch out for that tree!🎶🎵
Captions are nice. Trail Mater Rocks!
This group of off road recovery channels out west on TH-cam are top notch 🤙💪
John Wayne country...what a gorgeous work environment...Great job Rory, Mike and Shawn...
Cool trick to start Blue better show matt that one
Dear Ford Ranger FX4 Level nuh uh: Trail Mater!
Nice video of the trail. Funtreks calls it difficult and you were showing us the less difficult part of the trail. Better you than me.
I wouldn't be surprised if that water wasn't a water cache. The Hayduke Trail, a backpacking "trail", runs 800+ miles approximately through that area from Arches to the South Rim. A lot of route finding, not so much trail. Water is very scarce in sections so backpackers will either pre-stash water where they know they will need it, bury it even, or they can have others drop water off at the time and place needed.
Perfect timing! Just got done cooking food, and now I can relax and watch your new video.
You know that you're hungry if you see food-shapes in rocks and everything else... 😂😁😜
Good morning from Ireland 🇮🇪
good job boys!
The trip out looked smooth as buttah
Olde Blue is a beast!
Make it look so easy it's almost boring lol, and that's a compliment
Thank you I always wondered where balloons ended up
You guys are either very patient or you're very good at hiding it. 😁 But you do very good work. 🎉🎉
Love your videos!
It's the scenery.Thanks for sharing!
Oh, the cast of characters, top notch!
Wouldn't change a thing!
Mike, man of many talents … videographer extraordinaire, knowledgeable of local flora and fauna, and now hot wiring vehicle expert. Nice work guys! A little disappointed at not seeing a trail fix … but next time …
5 hours just to get to the casualty. That's crazy.
That was an Epic recovery guy's the only thing that happened was you ran out of gas in ol blue lol. Oh I'm sorry we did get to see the new monolith lmao. Thanks for the video.
Goodonya Boys! Job well done! Top Stuff!! Enjoyed in Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍👍
