Scouting A Job And Helping A Friend
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- We went out on the beginning of Steelbender Trail to scout a job for a wrecked truck in a ravine. Then we decided to try some techniques from the comment section about how to transport a motorcycle. Then we went over to our friend Larry's house to help him move his cars back from the flood area of the creek by his house. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

don't sweat the negative brother it's obvious you and your crew know what your doing.
Well said
All of the TH-cam guys are getting tired of the ideas from the keyboard warriors
agree. ignore those who think they can do your job better. Most of us enjoy the videos for what they are - a great team which rescues and recovers all types of vehicles. the entertainment is enjoyable.
Absolutely 💯
Carrying a bike out like that would be dumb, absolutely. But I could see it if someone were to make a custom sling...
Rory and crew. There are way too many arm chair quarterbacks telling you how to play the game. I just like to sit back and watch a winning team. As far as I'm concerned you guys are the Super Bowl champions of off road recovery!
I think Rory could pull it off with the big gooseneck if he was looking to add drama...
The Trail Mater Trailer TED Talk had me in stitches. Every time you're responding to that type of comment is hilarious. I've always respected you for trying to recover *everything* without additional damage, and sometimes a trailer really is best.
Listen up❗ unless the customer is saying: "Rory, how dare you make a showboat of yourself rescuing my precious rig.... " Everybody else: enjoy Moab's finest and save your ideas for your shop.✌️⭐💥💚❣️
If something works, I wouldn’t change a thing. You guys know what works in your environment
Hey Rory, I'm so glad you did not change your ways! Rock on
Video idea 😮
I say build a HD bike cradle for back of trail mater. Strap bike in cradle.
They are jealous they can't pull a trailer like Trail Mater😅
So wise , Thank You . A fine example of why you are so wise
Such a beautiful place Canyon Lands National Park you guys are so blessed, some day I hope to see it in person 🙏
Hello Rory 53 minutes and the likes are over 1.7k. Heck yeah team Trail Mater💚❣️
If it was my bike I would want you to use a trailer to haul it out it’s amazing how much the keyboard recovery people know how much better to do your job love the videos that the trail mater crew put out keep it up guys
Wow those old classic cars have tons of life in them to the right person
Leaf springs for the win 🏆, those sure are durable perfect for this kind of job, love your vids Rory
Your driving and rescue skills never fail to amaze me, and I have nothing but disdain for the people that tell you your doing it wrong. You have just a “Little” more experience doing your profession, and should completely disregard and ignore the people that criticize and then offer their worthless opinions.
You, Mike, and Sean have the absolute best video’s on TH-cam, and have NEVER seen anything that I think you have done for sensationalism. I am glad you read the comments, and have shown them that their comments are not well thought through 😅😊😊😅
Also just outside the box? What if you designed a spring or ? Like a shock absorber on the X that you do from the rear bumper of the vehicle you are towing?
Make no mistake I am not trying to tell you what to do but give you ideas you can think about. You are the best!
I think "Yer doin' it wrong!" is some people's favorite saying.
I've got my popcorn ready to watch the upcoming 8500 point turn with that Super Duty!😅
Enjoyed the footage of moving the old cars out of the flood zone. Would love to be allowed to tour the property looking at parts. Cheers guys!
Broke my Heart 💔 to see those Chevy's 😢..
I Hope the owner has the luck and strength for a couple them 🤞☺️ they need love 👍
Enjoy your adventures in life 🤠✌️
Yeah, but have you even considered USPS flat rate boxes and just mailing the bikes back to their owners? If it fits it ships 😂
Somebody out there could possibly one day think of something you haven't already tried or considered, but it's not likely. It's cool that you take the time to prove the concept.
You be you! Great job!
I am constantly amazed by the terrain you recover from and almost never cause any more damage than was caused by the original mishap! You guys are total pros!
Personally I carry my moto on a small harbor freight trailer. I had it fall off my hitch carrier before but that was because of the way I tied it down not the hitch carrier. I am afraid my $6k moto is going to break my $200 hitch carrier though. The trailer is good piece of mind for me. My wife and I think it is funny when Rory gets worked up over the comments. He is the smartest working youtuber imho. I like that rory is willing to explore options and wasn't he the one wanting to make a 6 wheel rollback for sxs? That would work on motos. Great video again guys and I like to see the high view count you deserve it.
That's an interesting parking spot for the Ford.
Yes you could build a rack to carry a bike. The trailer is just more appropriate for the trails you're dragging out.
Great video,Thumbs up for the ride along on your adventure, Thanks for bringing us along, Quit questioning Rory and his thinking
the building a mount on the back would work great
Cant believe there wasnt more damage on that size pickup..and yall shouldnt have any trouble getting that out after that jeep recovery... lmao on the river crossing...loved the just cooling things off comment..and always figured ya took trailer for the safer travel ..your always talking about the worry of a vehicle tapping rear...well bike would do it twice as much..so yeah.. bet the occupants needed clean pants afterwards. Lobe the vids..
You the man Rory, love your grill ... done it 10 years ago😂
I've used a few push ropes too, its surprising how many people haven't heard of them
Always amazed that places like that exist. Thanks Team Mater
We don't get a lot of dirt bikes, but when we do, we use a trailer. The World's Most Interesting Crew.
I’m not surprised that you guys know what you’re doing.
Robbie might be interested in the rusty 57 in case his don't have enough.
Do it your way and I’ll keep watching
Don't worry about the "experts" you guys know exactly what you are doing!
I also like the disclaimer at 12:07... "it's fine" 😂😂 made my day.
You guys are awesome, please never change!
Cut a square hole at the top edge of the bed put a slide hitch like you have for trailer hitch build a rack for motorcycles to it so you slide it in put the bike on it when your done take it off put hooks on headache rack so you can hang it up when you are done with it.
You know the best way to run your business and I really don't like other people trying to tell you how to I think you do a great job keep it up and the rest of them can stick it
Video was all over the place. Not judging guys. Just saying. Love your content. One of my favorite channels
That push rope should have a place in the recovery business. Do you think Casey would do a review of the prototype when it comes out!
Being one who has offered silly advise good response to the peanut gallery! Also saw a 77 camero pulled out had one at 16!
I say attach the bike to the front of the truck and use what's left of it as new set of bull bars it would definitely add to the Mad Max vibe of your vehicles.
Interesting to have the Sheriff's Dept as the request for the recovery... was it a stolen truck??? or abandoned??? or just illegally parked 🙂 Might be time for Larry to sell off some of those treasures.. Robbie Layton is a real sucker for rusty wrecks 🙂 Good fun, Thanks for sharing 🙂
I hope EVERYONE reads this…. keep your opinions to yourself, just because you have a great idea. Does not mean it will work in all applications. Rory just proved it. Just needed a Trail Mater assistant. That’s all folks. 🎙️🎙️ drop. No.💯👍🏻🇺🇸🔥 is matching first gear in Trail Mater, is priceless.
Obviously most in the comments sections are unprofessional do what you know is right and ignore the negative side of it. Your doing great Rory and your so is Sean and Mike 👍👍
Y’all are a good/funny crew ! How did u meet !
Another great video ❤ You guys work in the most beautiful places!
now you should use your trailer for everything
Another great show, love the content and UT.
As much fun as it is to reinvent the wheel, what works is not some half backed plan cooked up over a few beers, your equipment has evolved over years of working in your job and your unique location.
Keep up the great work you 3.
Maybe a suitable alternative to your "bike trailer" would be a setup 4WD pickup with a flatbed on back. Winch and a folding ramp to help get it onboard. Ought to carry UTVs too. But like you say...already have the trailer and it gets the job done. I always feel bad for it when you pull it up against a vertical rock wall and the tire doesn't want to climb. I have visions of you shearing the undercarriage completely off.
I don't know if this helps, but back in the 80's my dad had a 1974 square body that he found front bumper brackets for. He carried a Honda Trail 110 on them.
Trail Mater - Excellent video, excellent work! I use to ride bikes in the past, and the bottom line on the comments, you're providing the best possible outcome for the customer to get their bike out, with no further damage, and well, the trailer is the way to go. Your time on target using a trailer. Can't imagine bumping around all over the place with a hanging bike in the back with straps, cables, whatever, digging into the body panels, seat, you name it. Heck, do a demo of a bike hanging on the back on the bumpy trails for the folks that commented. I seriously doubt it would survive as well as a bike on a trailer since the trailer is going to take the beating, not the bike being recovered. Great work!!
wow, takes a special kind of person to get a vehicle THAT stuck. i mean, just wow...
I love how rory explains peoples ignorance so politely.. 😂
I did repo on road it's hard on bike swing off back wrecker. If you had the rack off back of wrecker from the Hitch.
Straight up: the trailer works and is quite versatile and reliable!! You really never know what is waiting for you out there until you get there, and what else you’ll find on the way in and out.
Exactly: why build a dirt bike specific vehicle when existing equipment works great.
And a rack on Blue is cool but there’s lots of places bikes get into that Blue can’t. But I’m an off-roader too, and have done my share of trail recoveries too, so I understand. Y’all rock!! Haters gonna hate and idiots like to hear themselves yap. 💪🙏
Rory people that criticize the way you bring motor vehicles out of those trail and mountainous areas just don't understand the way things work. Their lack of experience is affecting their thinking process. Simply put some people are hard-headed and no amount of logical thinking is going to convince them otherwise. Just continue to work your magic. No criticism from my POV!
You gentlemen have the patience of Job but thank you for showing the never got off the couch armchair quarterback a show and tell on how real life works when it's been your Job for dare say at least 20 years Thank you 😊 🙏
👍👍👍👍👍
Just do what you do!!! If I needed help I will call you first if you were in Texas, you know what to do. Glad you keep helping people and sharing. Just amazing work you do all the time. And all the keyboard haters get a job
Rory don't change a damn thing you do I love watching you guys do what you do don't let the haters get you all worked up don't listen to someone setting on their couch telling you how to do your job 🤣
Surprised you guys know about the front fell off skit. I didn't think it was known outside Australia and NZ.
The trailer is far better than the cable method. But there is a simple hitch mounted carrier you can buy or build that wood work better than of those that just grabs under the frame and holds the pegs. Can build them for $100 or less.
I wonder how many people are going to ask yankum for one of their push ropes lol.
Rory, I have a question... if you HAD to pick one of the other 3 wreckers, from the wrecker games, to use as a daily recovery rig, which one would you choose? Hypothetical question of course.... 👍
Make a hitch bike rig holder. Duh. 😆
Where can I get a push rope?? Love all the videos!!!!
I just hope that Alan from Yankum is flooded with calls for the new push rope 😂😂😂
C'mon Rory don't you know they're all professional experts at everything
Rory putting those keyboard warriors in their place
Rory, I have a great idea. Why don't you use a trailer to recover motorcycles. 😂
I hope they do something with the Rusty '57 Shoebox, looks like she could be somthing someday, and that's not yard art....
Some people like to talk the talk but can't walk the walk.
If you gave me a day and another truck with a winch, I'm not sure I could put that Super Duty in the same spot. I really don't get how they ended up there. Doesn't matter, still gotta come out...
Everybody is an expert even though over 90% of them have never done an off road tow of anything before.
Would a bike rack for the back of car combined with wheels in a track with binders work?
Rory knows his shit! Do it your was Rory,
Love your videos except for the ones where you feel the need to address negative comments. Just ignore the negative and build on the what works, your great team and humor. Don't need to mess up a good thing
These armchair YT warriors make me laugh, you are there, you do this for a living, I'd trust you to know what the actual heck you are doing.
I've NEVER seen a wreaker NOT do damage to a bike picking it up and moving it, your trailer method makes total sense to me.
BTW I broke my collar bone not completing a table-top on my dirt bike years and years ago!
Cheers from Tokyo!
GOOD RANT,an friendly explanation, well done. WHO needs a helicopter.
You gotta know there's 194K guy's searching Google Earth right now looking for those cars
Apperantly some people who comment never even been offroading or understand approach angles.
Better use trailcoptor to get that truck out.
FORD Found On Rocks Deserted 😂😂😂
Pick up dirt bikes with a pick up truck. Or just use awesome trailer.
F@%K the nay sayers!!! You guys ROCK!!!!!! carry on!!!!
Comments+1
That new Yankum push rope works aaawesome Rory. lol
Dude, about the bikes...... screw those guys. Use what you've got and/or whatever is easiest for you. The comment section is FULL of MFers that aint never hooked on to a car/bike/truck/SxS and tried to get it out - much less thru the rocks. Good on you boys!!!
I swear people have no common sense! They are Pros at what they do for a Reason not just for shits and giggles! People who have no clue how to recover properly stay in you're lane and enjoy the content like the rest of us
If I have a vote I think trailer is better
What's up Rory and team Trail Mater? Love your content creation and your videos never disappoint. As for these armchair "off-road recovery experts" and their opinions, you should know that they are worthless. It seems like people forget that it is your business/channel and that you are the professional who actually goes into the field and does this numerous times daily and therefore their "expertise" should be rendered useless. Keep up the amazing content!
I've never been anything but impressed at the driving skills demonstrated by you.
Regarding the motorcycle rescue options - I own two motorcycles, I scratch them up a little bit off road, but if I had to get rescued like in the video you were referencing, I would want the bike on a trailer just like you did. Trying to hang it off of the tow truck boom is going to leave many permanent marks. You've done a good job of proving your point.
Note to self ... when you pay 80K for a 4x4 pickup and your salesman tells you it will go anywhere, don't listen to him unless you watch 20+ of these videos.
Basically don't believe ANYTHING a car salesman tells you🤷
I kind of allready knew that
Yeah these trucks belong at the trailhead with a trailer and take the real rig out to have fun
Dont leave a Furd stuck in the toilet bowl.
I want to know what they were thinking, taking a stock truck down into that gully.
I could listen to you guys all day. Love the camaraderie and willingness to help folks, beyond the j.o.b.
There will always be someone telling you how to do your job better. It is great to see you put them in their place but better to ignore.
You do an incredible job, thank you for showing it to us. One front dig at a time.... which I miss3d this video.
Great video

A bike rack sounds like a good plan in theory, if you are big on theories. Far too many different bikes out there and one size doesn't fit all. The trailer works good for all bikes so keep doing what works. No damage to a customer's vehicle is every recovery drivers way of doing things, because who needs a hit on the insurance for repairs & the the bad reputation that you get. Thanks for sharing
Not to mention, it's a very small portion of his customers. I've seen 3 bikes, I think?
Great job as always, you guys are the first call I’d make if stuck/broke down in Moab. The way you care and want to make sure the customers vehicles are taken care of is top notch! There is definitely too many keyboard experts that have never done your job lol
I always look forward to a trailmater video. Never a disappointment.
Like how the experts are more expert than the experts Lolol
Trail Mater team checking out a new recovery of a Ford pickup that's in a bad situation. Being a good friend Rory, Mike and Shawn brought Mater and Old Blue and helped a friend move some classic cars out of the flood zone. Good job guys!
