- Got a call for an Electric truck stuck on Fins and Things Trail due to a broken tie rod. No part store had anything in town so we grabbed some steel and headed out to get it handled. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.
Check out www.trailmater.com for shirts.
Thanks Rory & Mike for rescuing my family, bummed that it happened on their first day out but kudos to Rivian for taking care of us. Trailered it 4 hrs to Salt Lake City and replaced the tie rod it was ready to go when we headed back to Washington State. Not exactly how we saw our vacay playing out but it will go in the books as memorable. Thanks again you did an amazing job!!
Glad they took care of it.
they look overbuild till you consider the weight. look at a prerunner. like a desert race truck. they are substantially more built up in the suspension then the rivian is but weigh less then 4500 lbs. nothing that weighs 10000lbs but has independent front suspension is going to be particularly reliable. that tie rod was pitiful, looked like a tie rod off my volvo sedan. someone is going to make a killing selling like 1000$ worth of fab and metal for like 15k$ in a suspension kit to these rich rivian dudes like yourself. ev is such a novelty lol ill stick with my land cruiser or my ford ranger 4x4 thank you very much. ever been under a 95 land cruiser? in comparison to your "truck" the land cruiser has solid full size military axles with pitman style strut driven steering witch is like 10x stronger with a higher safety factor then your "truck". land cruiser has front and rear 4link, idk where that is on your "truck". also the land cruiser is so much more over built then your "truck" but weighs so much less which means that it can literally jump. high. like 8-10 feet. it can take fucking jumps. can your "truck" take jumps? ill tell you the answer- yea it can- once. i predict that your truck is going to be a nightmare if you keep actually trying to use it off road, and you are going to inevitably spend more then 20k trying to make it into a reliable off roader. will it ever achieve that status? maybe the same way that a h1 hummer is technically an off-road vehicle....... but is useless for any trail riding and pretty much are only good for driving around in sand.
im sorry but 11000lbs? and yall really took it where you took it? your lucky trail mater is so professional because honestly you deserve an ear beating for that lack of foresight and awareness.
@@aylahughes9185 oh my god cool story bro shut up
@@aylahughes9185 Did you notice the '94 Land Cruiser in the video that was with us also. I agree it's not a perfect "truck" for off-roading but it sure is a lot of fun. Can it jump? Yes, actually it can maybe not 8-10ft, not seeing the necessity to doing that though. We will be putting that on our TH-cam channel in a week or so. It definitely is a solid truck weighing in at 7K, not sure where you got the 10K. Having ridden in the land cruiser on Hell's Revenge and Shafer Trail in Canyonland after doing Chicken Corner in the Rivian, I can tell you the Rivian's ride was way smoother. It is a fun truck but it isn't for everyone.
The field repairs are incredible and it certainly offers your customers a unique opportunity to salvage their rigs at the cheapest possible rate.
It is not cheap. It's affordable, compared to the alternative.
@@Telephony954 you just repeated what he said but with different words lol
@My Pronoun is WTF I always wonder what these repairs cost and how long were they sitting there. Dit it cost a $1000, waiting a day to find someone?
love how Rory sneaks a tank turn into every video.
The man knows how to operate his equipment - THAT is a true professional!!!
Rory singlehandedly kickstarting the Rivian off road upgrade market!
Neat-O trail repair! I was concerned with welding, and all the electronics on board. While the battery(S) are still connected. There should be a main disconnect for the high voltage stuff.
Some EVs have a pull out plug to isolate the batteries, some have a cable you cut. No clue about Rivian, but I know I have never welded on a car without disconnecting the battery completely.
Electric cars are the future, but at the moment there is a lot of perfectly understandable ignorance about best practice and what is safe to do and what isn't.
@@ForeverNeverwhere1 the ground clamp was less than 12" away, it's fine.
@@secret5. True, but why chance it, any of those modules are crazy expensive, if it's even available. Plus then it won't move, and have be yanked outa there.
@George Vinson Here at the GM dealer, most all new model trucks have a safety feature that prevents shifting to neutral under certain conditions and the electronic parking brake applied. Real pain in the ass to get them into service bay with all 4 wheels locked up.
The main battery is always disconnected when the car is switched off.The 12v battery is needed to drive the relays and connect the hv system.
It is interesting how loud the hum is. Cool video,
Watching this channel is like putting on an old, slightly worn, but very comfortable pair of shoes.
If you really want torque for your new 6 x 6 then I recommend a big block attached to a big generator attached to a big electric motor.
Hey Rory. Dana Spicer offers an upgraded spring and detent kit for the 465 trans. Also a chromemoly spacer for 3rd gear to avoid their snapring failure issue.
I love the TM turn around or front dig
Nice to see you doing milk float recoveries now mate. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really appreciate the drive train footage. Those front leaf pack shots are unique and cool
Just ordered me a sweet new t-shirt!!!! Another great video!!!
Nice job kinda wild seeing electric trucks on the trail
The original wrecker..Trailmater!👍
You’re the best my friend ‼️
Love your content.
A job well done!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Thanks for another cool video guys!
Went Fishin', and Caught a BIG one! (Busted the Scale, back at the Dock.)
My 2002 7.3L, ZF 6 spd, is about like yours. It likes to pop out of 2nd gear, and 3rd still grinds a little sometimes--- even though I pulled it all apart and put new syncronizers in it. I guess I should have gotten a new 3rd gear-- the cone must be a little over-worn. Oh well. With 330k miles, I can't complain much.
Nice & awesome shift handles
Mr.Rory. How did you design towmater to lock up just the rear axle and turn yourself around with front axle. Coolest dam thing ever. None of your neighbors like Fab Rats has it. Great video.
Cool trail fix
Field repairs are us! Always great straight shootin content Rory!👍🏼
Rory you got to put more videos out buddy,love watching your channel
' you don't know until you try' I like his work ethics
I wonder how the arc field effects all the sensitive battery stuff. Its not like you can just pop the positive terminal off... or can you?
3 axeles ar better than two!!!
Great job!!!
Really surprised it wasn't spinning the front tires cool to actually see someone taking it out on the trail to find those weak links doesn't happen to be made by Chevy does it ya know them tie rods 😂🤣😂👍👍
Great video. You are doing what you love to do :)
Interesting to see how the EV truck handled.
Welding with 7018 is a great old DC reverse polarity rod to use. Did you do anything like disconnect the battery on vehicle power system? Just curious. You were grounded next to your work, but I have no idea how sensitive these new EVs are to welding. Awesome recovery and making due on the trail. Loved the video.
What precautions, if any, do you have to take before you hook up your ground and start welding on an electric vehicle?
Stay away from the orange wires and it's just like any other vehicle.
He really is a excellent backwards driver
Hey do you sell Moab Motorsport shirts? I can’t say I’d wear a trailmater shirt, but I’d totally wear a Moab motor sports shirt. Great video. Looked like the rivian had really nice crawling control. Cool stuff.
Pinion seal leaking a little trail blood?
Love the vids
The best part is the knowledge that Rivian does not sell parts to fix yourself. A team needs to come and fix your truck?
It seems counter intuitive that Rivian would want their parts to be so scarce. If they want the enthusiast overland and offroading market to take off they need to make these parts available. I'm sure once they become more common and companies realize that there is a market for aftermarket parts items like this will become common "upgrade before you go" type items. That tie rod looked sufficient for something half the weight of that truck, but those weigh in the same neighborhood as an F250 (or more).
Sweet Land Cruiser...
Those Rivians are great for going to a campground with a tent, and spending the weekend with your family. It’s not really built for this. Until King or Icon or whoever decides to build a suspension kit for Rivian that makes it capable of this, don’t full send your Rivian. Lol
Thank You for not having some lame ass music in the background
TrailMater is a flipping STUD.
That's so RAD! I know alot of people (including me) that have been pining over getting some trail mater merch. I hope you got alot plus hats stickers key rings the whole 9! Cause I gaurentee you'll need alot tob keep up with demand! We love you guys the whole channel the content! And I seriously think a patreon would do quite well!
Does the rubber wash off the rocks when it rains
One thing I don’t like about the EVs is their attempt to be the exclusive place for parts and service.
lik the wrecker
Welding on a 100k dollars circuit boards lol what could go wrong
Sick new fenders! Those haven't always been on there have they?
I want some shirts ..but im a giant and need size 5xxxxxL tall ..double pocket ,long sleeve ,button workshirt
@11:35 Give it some "gas"
The electric truck probably weighs 7.000 pounds , the Tesla weighs 5500 pounds lol nice and heavy lol nice pay day hood job thanks BigAl California.
Damn Rory, are you literally running out there in 2 wheel drive?
How many of those fine government employees at the tree service you think he had to talk to? 50? 80?
Wild how everyone thought this truck would be a bad thing for Tesla and other electric trucks and now Rivian is officially going bankrupt , awesome truck but couldn’t sell em.
Let me just say, BEST MERCH PLUG EVER! No clickbait. No 90 second ad, no bullshit. Just "look at this shirt, go here if you want one" Simple. Zen. Perfect.
Right? "We have shirts! Buy them! Kthxbye!", short and to the point 🤣
@ 1one3 Racing Well Said...no clickbait, no BS and No major interruption(s).
What about the inevitable MaterSauce?
@@ReachOutToWilliam then they'd have to introduce a lunch to every episode put the sauce on everything and pretend it doesn't taste like shit.
AbsoF'ingLutly!!! LOVE IT :)
Another excellent and interesting upload -content ,presentation and editing just perfect . NO gimmics or stupid antics or clickbait nonsense . Thanks so much . Jonny UK
Wheel alignment ? No problem ( grabs pipe wrench ). I just love these new fangled space trucks :)
I wish people wouldn’t use exaggerated click bait titles and would just stick to the facts / truth! 🤷♂️
@George Vinson
Probably because most of them can’t answer a simple question about their product they can only slag off the competition to try to convince you their product is best!
I’ve had to get to the point of forcibly demanding an Anglian Double Glazing salesman leave my house as all he was able to do was slag of Rehau products, he didn’t know why “Anglian are better!” 🤣🤣
I guess the answer you really wanted is because they are lying bastards! 🤪
No concerns about welding on an electric vehicle?
Amen. Rory is all cattle, no hat.
I’ve got to be honest, at first I was like “okay we’ve got another recovery show” and I was hesitant to commit to watching… but I love how honest this show is. No exaggerations, no goofy faces on the video preview, no milking the audience. It is what it is, and that is enough! Watching the ingenuity for problem solving is impressive.. I mean, it’s tough enough to do certain on-site repairs within city limits, but you do them out in the middle of nowhere. Confession hour I guess but even with Trailmater I wasn’t super impressed right off the bat, but that truck just keeps going and going and is super capable! No frills, no flashyness.. just good, old fashioned, honest, get er’ done mentality. The show has officially grown on me and I need a shirt!! Lol and so do you! Thanks Rory
You mean like that insurance fraudster Matts offroad recovery?
@@mattbrew11 was there a legal conclusion to that?
I never did follow it to the end. I thought it was still ongoing.
@@MIGHTYX2010 it is ongoing
@@mattbrew11 okay well let's see how it ends.
I'd hate to see Matt's name get tarnished if he's innocent because he has done some good fundraising stuff. Especially at the hands of an insurance company.
I know every time I've needed my insurance, that I pay for every single month on time, no late payments it is always been a fight and my small claims have always been legit.
Rory and Paul. The only ones worth watching. Paul is playing the You Tube game a little harder, but they are both Real Deal.
It is incredible how the trail mater suspension works using leaf springs.
People toss a lot of crap unnecessarily at 2 link these days
The Trail Mater is the Millennium Falcon of recovery vehicles. “may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts….”
Best compliment ever.... Haha.
idk, that truck looks badass to me. better than the grocery getter rivian
That truck is awesome truly anti vegan. I love it
I’ve thought that before, also. If I won the lottery, and could have any vehicle I could dream of, it might be Mater
So awesome seeing people cool enough to take it off-road!
They're cool, but they weigh over 7000 lbs, which is SuperDuty/ HD kind of weight; and that tie rod looks awfully thin for something so heavy and with so much power. I know their forged control arms look a little more beefy-- but that tie rod is embarrassingly small. lol
That tie rod looks like a kid's atv tie rod.
Agree. That tie rod looks way too small for handling the forces of that much weight.
It reminds me of the pencil thin ones the GM 2500s have.
I agree. Way too small. Doesn't take an engineering degree to see that.
True, did you notice the size of the brake caliper?
New Broncos are having the same problem. Manufacturers are cutting weight and costs in the wrong places.
Has nothing to do with the potential for the rest of the vehicle.
Such an awesome video. It's so cool to see those R1T's out on the trail getting wrenched and welded on like every other vehicle!
Yup. good to see people using them for what their built for.
@@curtisbme for the cost of one of those rivian status symbol trucks. You could have 2 fully built offroad rigs
@@shawnhenderson1130 Sure, lower end ones. And you can spend a lot more on an offroad rig for higher end models and customizations.
Don't think anyone is claiming Rivian is the best choice for everyone for any specific use case.
@@curtisbme They were NOT built for going on these trails
@@415s30 Uh.. Ok bud. Thanks for offering your rando opinion that isn't remotely based in reality. I'll file it in the appropriate receptacle.
Old Tech rescues New Tech...classic. Surprised that the "smart" crawl mode couldn't keep the front tire from spinning on the steep grade lol...can't beat real lockers ;)
you are comparing a stock production vehicle with stock tyres to a custom built trail recovery vehicle or any trail vehicle?
@@swapnilmankame obviously the stock EV truck was not designed to drive on trails like this... But it had plenty of traction to get up the incline without the help of a winch if the 4x4 system was better at preventing wheel slip 🙂
And yet stil the part that broke( and looked small) was old tech, cant wait to see a stript out rivian on 44" tyres
100$k trucks lol
@@martijnbrandt7553 with a 10 mile range 🤣
Nice trail fix (again) Rory. That tie rod did seem a bit spindly. The company will figure that out with trial and error (breakage). As this channel shows, anything will break given the proper situation.
Nice tee shirt advert. Well done.
Your now an EV Rivian authorized trail mechanic. Another excellent recovery.
They all wants to build a wrecker just like yours. man love your content and you're going sky rocket 🚀
Yep.. Everyone is playing catch-up
Glad that Rivian owner tryout their new rig! That’s the only way to weed out weak links. Go forth and explore Rivian.
Of course we are going to watch you get someone un stuck or put them back together because you do a awesome job of it. Be safe my friends.
Love the trail repairs, and that underbody shot on the way to the customer was cinematic beauty.
The pivot turn at 8:45 was impressive as well.
I was about to comment about that turn too. How did he do that??
@@josearguello6989 took the rear axle out of gear, and drug the brakes too.
Made in China on it I can imagine the quality of the cars they manufacture I’m not buying it for sure
Find me a vehicle with no made in china parts. I'll wait.
,,,good job, was his extension cord too short ?...lol.. keep safe and have a great week...
That trail has more rubber on it than a chinese tire...
Yeah it's ugly. I roamed those trails before there was any black. It was easy to get lost back then. Impossible to get lost now. It was also rare to see other vehicles back then. Miss those days.
9:52 I'd like to see that Rivian with 10psi in the tires and try again.
Great video again! The field repairs are so interesting to see how you come up with a solution and how well-equipped Trail Mater comes prepared.
Nice little ride along, tho it would seem folks know what Trailmater is by all the waves & no Karen's screaming "you're going the wrong way!", lol !! Thanx !
But but but !
Welders!
Batteries!
Computers!
Lol.
Love your work. Keep it up.
Out of curiosity, how often do people run out of fuel on the tracks?
The bonus end clips are one of my favourite parts to stay in the video right till the end. Other channels use them too but for some reason these are the best every time. Worth the watch!
It's coming, more EVs on the trails, more EV recoveries. Just wait, Rory is going to come up with some ultra cool modular thing-a-ma-jigs to add to the recovery vehicles for recovery points, on-trail charging, and all the unique new problems that EVs bring. Trailside charging I think will be a big one.
Third World answers to First World issues 👍😜
ev saved by using arcing electricity ! 😂
I imagine that the vehicle will use more power than people estimate and account for, so I think dead EV's on the trail will be a larger problem in the near future. But I also think the welders that are currently on the market, like Rory uses in this video, could be adapted to charge EV's... Would probably just take forever LOL
@@Odins-Dad why would it take forever? like all you would need is an oscilloscope and a multi meter to figure out all the data you would need. there are already a bunch of people charging off of generators a welder is just a generator.
@@aylahughes9185 ah, I meant it would take forever to charge. So the comparison comes down to how much work would it take to tow the dead EV out vs waiting for it to charge. I dont know how many KWH one of those welders puts out (too lazy to do the research right now lol). But now that I think about it, you really just need enough charge to get them to the nearest EV charger. So like, 30 minutes maybe? A couple hours at most?
Mike, those were great shots from the bottom of the wrecker!!!
That looked like fun, cept the part about laying on a 900 degree rock to weld a tie rod to 7000 degrees, and running around with a camera, in 100 degree heat. that's to many degree's. but as always, I really enjoyed the incredible views, and vista's that is our country, but right in your backyard. thank you for sharing.
Rivian has an amazing truck, but watching it struggle to climb the same rock I've driven my Tacoma, I can't help but see that 7200 lbs is always gonna have a harder time climbing than 3900 lbs.
The Rivian would do a lot better st about 1/3rd of the tyre pressure. But it did pretty well.
I've been waiting for something electric that can tow. Now I'm waiting for something electric that can tow and isn't so ugly.
You'll be waiting a while. Towing uses too much battery power. The battery that will eventually power trucks has not been invented yet.
A 1000 lb battery holds @ 3 gallons of gas worth of energy. That's not good enough yet. EV's have a long way to go.
Someday they will be incredible.
@@TheBandit7613 there are plenty of vehicles that fit my bill of they were engineered correctly.
Hell, a hybrid Toyota Camry would do the job. It's the fact they make the battery an integral part of the body that means almost every electric or petrol-electric hybrid drops its 2000kg towing down to 500kg.
The Rivian would do what I want it to do no problems. But its ugly.
The Tesla model x would work but are $200,000. The Mercedes EQC is close but only 1800kg.
The longest journey I do is 1000km and we currently take 2 breaks so as long as I get ~400km range towing my ~1500 race car I'm happy. I rarely tow 2000kg and never long distance anymore.
I'm just tired of putting $150 worth of diesel in my BMW every other week.
EV with 500km range would need a charge once a week and a charge costs about $40 so cheaper and easier and no having to line up at the cheap petrol station anymore
@@1one3_Racing I tow heavy, 15,000 lbs (6800 k)
I saw a tow test for the Rivian and it didn't make it to the place they were going to do the test. When I tow, I want no drama.
No country has enough grid power for an electric fleet. Imagine 150,000,000 people coming home from work and plugging in their 240 volt 50 amp charger. Instant blackout.
Electric won't work for me anyway. Living in the western US, distances are vast, services few. I have a Ford F350. Filling it with diesel is not pleasant.
@@TheBandit7613 we live in rural Eastern Washington so totally see where you are coming from. That was truly part of the challenge getting to Moab was finding enough chargers along the way. The infrastructure really isn't there yet. Moab itself could use a few more chargers, they only had one that was a 50 KWh.
@@TheBandit7613 I've made the same argument and Driving 4 Answers said the same thing. No country could handle the extra electricity demands.
For me and my situation, an EV would work. It would be slightly cheaper to run, plus there's no oil changes.
The only drama being I tow my race car around sometimes.
One thing the internet has taught me is that Australians are a lot more sensible in their driving habits.
If you live in Melbourne and there's something you want in Cairns, you just don't buy it. Or Perth. Australia is almost as big as America but except for trucks nobody drives more than 1000km except for touring/caravaning/ or on occasion. Nobody tows more than around 2000kg. Some business owners will tow a bobcat or something up to 3000kg. Again, except for caravans.
Americans will tow a 50' enclosed car trailer 3500 miles with 3 cars in it just for a 7 second drag race then go home again. That's just seems crazy to us.
That was a cool recovery! Looks like the trend for EV's (at least Rivian and Tesla) is that they won't sell parts - their technicians have to get the parts and install them. I doubt the EV manufacturers will ever go out on the trials to fix them, though.
@George Vinson or bring a fuel powered generator to charge the electric vehicle
@@kdoeone battery packs exist that can be pre-charged to take to someone tesla does that. not saying that's what they would do since a generator is probably easier but uknown always an option
@@kdoeone Did you watch the video? The truck had charge.
@George Vinson Why would it need to be gas-powered?
EV drivers hardly ever run out of power in the main battery. They’re usually very aware of their situation. On slow speeds the range goes up immensely and the power goes up downhill . The most common reason an EV breaks down is the 12v battery which is needed for the switches. The fix is easy just like on ice cars. The same goes for insufficient axles. The art is to know when not to use the torque you have.
Those tierods on that rivian are waaay too thin.....
900+ comments of which most are positive and a over 100k in views, so why aren't you subscribing? Most of you watch Matt as well I assume, and he's at 1.2M+subs, although not always similar content as Rory, but in the same vain. Rory deserves your sub for the quality content and this channel needs to grow, so please subscribe. THX
No I'm not being paid for this endorsement, LoL I just appreciate good content.
Your equipment, knowledge, experience and you as a person and especially the way you convey all of that is truly amazing and absolutely authentic! Keep it up!!
It would be interesting to see how well an EV handles on a trail. Using a winch, it’s torque, and dealing with a multi day adventure like MOAB.
A multi day adventure I assume would go poorly
@@boejiden1065 EVs don't lose range going slowly. How many multi day adventures in MOAB cover 300 miles?
@@DiscoFang but they do lose power when. They are on waiting to get on an obstacle or using winches, powering the AC if they raise their pinky when they drink. It’s not just about the range when wheeling or out on and adventure.
@@hawkman302 Well work it out rather than making statements up from the air. Air Con uses approximately 1kW to run, so each hour uses 1kWh. The mid model Rivian has a useable 135kWh battery so standing still that’s 135hrs. If you’re using the AC full power for, say, 10 hrs a day that’s 2 weeks.
A 12,000lb winch will be around 4.5kW so run that for 3 mins 5 times a day and you’ve only used just over 1kWh.
Get over your fears of math.
@@hawkman302 So to clarify, a 3 day adventure using AC 10 hrs a day, and the winch 15 times for 3 mins each would take about 30+3.5=35kWh leaving 100kWh which should easily get 200+miles at the low speeds of a rock crawl. It’s wind resistance at speed that really saps power.
All the armchair recovery people typing away...." But Rory, you can't weld on an electric car, you'll fry all the batteries!"
That Rivian has more ground clearance that I thought it would. I'm sure it has a bit of a lift but the absence of drive shafts and transmissions make a huge difference.
It raises from 9" (Sport Mode) to 15" (Off Road).
@@lesleythornton2874 Huh, I wonder how it adjusts camber through such a huge change in lift, must have self-adjusting control arms or something.
@@Mick_A_Knuckle I believe it has adjustable air suspension or as Rivian calls it independent air suspension. It has pressurized flexible rubber bellows or what you might call air springs.
@@lesleythornton2874 Yes, the ride height is controlled through air springs, but I was curious about changes in camber at the higher ride height. Did some digging, and found that the truck defaults to the standard ride height when it's shut off, or maybe even while driving on smooth level ground. So the camber is set for the standard ride height with the reasonable assumption that not a lot of driving will occur in the raised position.
Interesting to see the latest & greatest fall apart just as easily as the others. First time I've seen one off-road. Thanks for sharing.
Weight is not a friend in this kind of environment with tires made for the road.
@@larrybe2900 who says they had road tires? They sell offroad tires/wheels from the factory...
@@AaronShegrud
4:18 Does show a better look at the tread and I stand corrected.
I wonder how they are doing getting the part they need?
Awesome rig! Looks like something out of mad max
Great video as usual. Love you guys!! It's cool you have a shirt now. It would be fun to have a decal of trail mater too. I personally love stickers. Be safe out there.
Crack jokes now but you WILL be putting a generator on some day to charge EVs on the trails. Some where someone is putting an "off-road" kit on an ev 🤣 and that's how we will save the diamond bill 👍. All jokes aside, that is a really nice vehicle and it did make it that far in the trail.
Fins & things isn't tough. There's bypasses for most of the obstacles. It's rated 5 out of 10.
They were coming up to that hill as we were coming off of it! First time I had seen a Rivian and then we were at your shop and you got the call to come get them!
Oh I have to see that one you mentioned hauling a generator to the customer to. Charge up an electric car or truck. I'll be looking for it to happen soon.
Great job, love the sound of your welder, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Matt once said in his video "I am stealing every idea Rori ever had" (for the wrecker). Such respect made me curious and now I am a Rori fan ! EVERYTHING has a purpose on his stuff.
Well you know when the part breaks, it stops squeaking
