Trail Ride Turns Into Repair And Recovery
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- We decided to take a quick run up Pritchett Canyon with some friends of ours that own a tour company. They wanted to check out the trail and see if it's something they want to offer on there optional trails. (spoiler:they don't want to) we started up when I broke a rear axleshaft on the buggy. Luckily we still had the spare shaft that we threw on for 24 Hell And Back so we swapped it quick. Then we got up to Rocker Knocker Obstacle and some other riders caught up with us. As we were finishing the trail the last rig got a little sideways on Yellow Hill. So we winced him into a better situation. All went well and we made it back down and out with no major issues. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Only Rory would think of welding 3 rods together, the true MacGyver👍
Old guy hack.
Yes, a local mechanic showed me how to do it about 50 years ago! I doubt he invented the technique.
Never seen anybody do it before , especially in the middle of a trail, to remove a stub. There are a lot of things that have been done before but until you see it. Things are a lot easier in a shop or on a construction site, working with limited resources is a true MacGyver .( I’ve met the original “MacGyver”, great guy , good actor and funny as hell)
As soon as the welder broke out I knew what was going to be attempted
Yes He is good at what he does. But I think it's time for him to write a book on his experience. Kinda a how to get yourself out of the situation.
Rory, I'm sorry, but you have spoiled us. You've created a monster. 😂
The broken axle retrieval was a genius idea. This is why Rory will always be #1
That retrieval of the broken axle from the differential was epic!!💥
I love how Shaun just pulls a spare out of nowhere 😂😂 It pays to be prepared
It =sure= beats jacking the buggy up, draining the diff, and opening it up to pry the broken axle piece out with a screwdriver and then fight it past the seal at the other end, then resealing the diff and refilling it.
@@ljprep6250 It sure does!
@@Patrick.Weightman I noticed that too! I'm like is that a thing in rock crawling? For those guys it is!
Trail Mater and Dirtbilly Deluxe was the collab we didn't know we needed.
Those guys should work more together.
Obstacles many offroaders would be weary of going forward rory just throws it in reverse and says “hold my camera” well done man!
and with no mirrors or backup cameras lol
So the trail guides needed to be guided LOL
Guess so. Side by sides are not made for these type of trails. Stupid to do so. Course there is a lot of stupid out there. Getting worse every day.
@@quantumss yeah like those on those mini jeeps. that's what gets trails shut down.
Rory handles obstacles in reverse better than a lot of people do going forward.
That's a FACT.
I love how most people regard Pritchett as one of the more difficult trails around Moab but these three routinely make it look like a walk in the park 💪💪
Did it 15 years ago in a stock 03 Rubicon with 33 " tires in the rain ... needed some help from my Wench a couple times tho .
@@rodgoodMuch more difficult now lol
@@rodgood
You have a heck of a woman then. 😂
@@DB-yj3qc ha ha .
As long as you've got the clearance and tires it's not hard. It's only rocks.
HEY! Hello everybody and thumbs UP to Trail Mater!
I remember, about 73-74 years ago, watching my Dad make a lasso out of fence wire to extract the broken stub on his '40 Chev 1 1/2 ton truck. No onboard welders back then!
Wow, that's some talent there!
Way to go Rory, the human side by side recovery vehicle. Got a Trail Mater rope, nobody said you needed a truck!
Rory, Mike and Sean can DRIVE those buddies...shewee! And Rory makes a damn good land-anchor for other rides IN ADDITION TO his expert trail repair skills.
To have a job in natures beautiful playground, makes me wish I didn't pay attention to class and teachers either. 😂
Rory in a class of his zone. 👍
Yes, collaboration 😂!!! You made my day team trailmater 💚❣️💥 Backwards Buggy Power 💚
🙋🏼♂️ 🏁Shawn’s buggy for the win 🏁 🏆
Super clever how you got the broken piece of axel out. Every day is a school day
Ya know, I seem to learn something about trail repair watching Rory.
But what has really become apparent is Shawns buggy's engine sound... outstanding whatever he did on that engine build and exhaust muffler... so much bettah...
You must feel special having dirtbilly deluxe on, they are busy dudes. It feels right so you all should team up.
Imagine stopping to question Rorys guidance? Yeah, I can't either. I've never rock crawled in my life (I drive in snow in Canada mostly), but I'd trust Rory to guide me up an obstacle blindfolded.
I'm not a TH-camr yet though, so no off-road games for me for quite some time haha
That could be one of the games. Great comment.
@bryduhbikeguy Ha! Imagine that. It'd literally have to be Rory though: even during 24 hell and back the experienced guys were getting guidance from him. I wouldn't trust someone else personally.
I'm also from Canada, went down to Moab and Hurricane this summer, was a lot of fun on my Honda dual sport 250l, although I found out just how insanely soft the Hurricane sand is, almost couldn't move uphill in the dunes. I did Hells Revenge, Fins and Things, Gemini Bridges, Hurrah Pass, took Sand Flats rd all the way out to the mountains, and Cinnamon Pass in Colorado.
Try actually rock crawling and then maybe you'll understand the anxiety associated with it. Until then maybe keep the judgment to yourself.
Rory is absolutely the best at off road in all situations. If you ever broke down, you'll wish he was with you to get you back !
"now you'll have to drive it in reverse"...hahaha, - oh wait, he did. The whole trail. 🤯
Loved the three rods welded together trick, brilliant. Shaun should have got to say “what, no way “ 🤔
I love my side-by-side however I am 100% in agreement, with you on the actions of a few ruining it for all
Dirtbilly deluxe... Who knew such people existed.. Rory.. you have to do more with this guy.. in fact you might wanna think about employing him 🤯😂
Pretty awesome how Shawn skipped up the obstacle💥 8:28
And Rory at 18:18… 🔥
We just need a 24/7 Trail Mater channel
She gets nervous Rory says trust me immediately hits throttle, priceless
The fact that you still feel bad for “plugging” your own merchandise, on your own dang TH-cam channel, is genuinely wholesome. 🤷♂️ keep it up Rory!
13:49 Rory was able to see that a tiny bit of help can get the job done with a shared goal. One man with a rope at the right angle.
That's a fairly tough for a side by side. Not too bad with Rory and the gang there but maybe a bit sketchy for just a guided tour.
Ive been seeing sneak peeks of this on social media.. patiently waiting for this video 😂 that was a fancy trick to extract your axle shaft!
Brings back memories. Broke an axle in my racecar tow rig eons ago and it had a 9" Ford in my Chevy truck. Had to pull the other axle and make me a rod out of an electric fence post to knock the slug out from the other side. Some grinding and crossed fingers but it worked. A week later it happened in the stock car and guess what? I still had the rod! And the experience. We made the feature!
Just happened to have a spare shaft in the trunk :D True trailmater!
Another reason Mondays suck, no Trail Mater videos. This was awsome !
Maybe rory should do the offroad games also backwards to make the competition even out😂😂
The welding rod extension to get the broken axle out was friggin GENIUS !!
Not everyone has that "what ever it takes" attitude. Well done fellas. It really is hard not to have a good time with that crew.
What exactly did I just witnessed 😮 with removing the broken piece of axle from the axle tube this is why I appreciate Rory
If I could drive forward, half as well as Rory drives backwards with a dodgy axil, I’d be ecstatic!!!
4:25 that’s the type of stunt I’d dream up, only I’d spend an hour failing to get it to work 🤣
Amazing skills Rory… ❤️🇷🇴
In the words of TowMater"best backerer upper" TrailMater can live up to the hype/legend with authority. Truly amazing
Best backer upper for sure!!!
I love Shawn's style of semi point it in the right direction and mash the throttle😂
I know you will have Ole' Double Ott "00" ready for you and Laura's victory.
I have never seen so many rocks stacked at son of. It certainly made it easier for the side by sides.
If not the very best rock climber then certainly as good as anyone else out there. Innovative trail mechanic, innovative recovery expert. Patience teacher. And now he replaces a winch?
It seemed like an ideal pairing when Rory was pulling with his Trail Rope on the front of the Razors' front Bumper/Winch Mounts. As soon as the Razor got up, one flick of the wrist and the Trail Rope just came off the hook point.
Dirtbilly guides you out, trail mater tows you back. Quite the set up.
That was an impressive broken axle extraction!
That was a neat way to get that piece of axel out. Nothing like having your own vehicle break down. Looked like everybody was having fun.
Shawn is really entertaining everyone. His buggy has been debugged and running great. 🤘
I think Rory is 17.6% better than any and all . Enjoy his humility
That was an ingenious repair BAR NONE! Well done sir, well done indeed👍👍👍👍👍🙂
GREAT way to get a piece of a shaft out.
Great trail ride and show.
Rory;..what a show off he takes the climbs backwards....!
4 door Kawi doing pretty good on Pritchett , got 2 door that wet clutch system is amazing Crawl with . Great video keep rockin
Like and comment to help the algorithm. Beautiful trails and some unscheduled challenges.
Rory got sum skill. Backing his rig back to the starting point
Where there is a will there is a way and Rory usually finds the way. Another great video. Love watching you guys. Just get to wheel.
This looks like off road games training. Lol!
I can envision Rory helping spot other teams through the obstacles because he is Rory and that's who he is.👍
I’m always impressed with how Rory gets out of a bind.
Note to Mike: No more WD40 on the tires. LOL
Abbbbsolutly awesome to see Rory flexing his table muscle on that SxS! 😂💪
Rory is not only a rigger, but a SXS outrigger too! & human winch, trail guide, tool manufacturer, humor mill, etc... LOL !! Wonderful view of a trail ride! Thanx !
I love how Rory can just hand pull side by sides with his Beast mode! He almost pushed up that one from the back that got a little sketchy 😂
Rory’s gotta be the only guy that needs back up mirrors on his rigs
5:04 whoaaa…. You’re the guy that everyone wants at all times 👍🏼
Micheal is fearless, she drives better than most men on them rocks!
Rory is the MAN. I could watch this all day.
Rory'$ is the Jeep, Mike'$ a truck and $hawn's rig is a boat that floats thru rocks 😮
I guess the rear steer is really the next upgrade to do to minimize backing up the obstacles. Though you make it look like a walk in the park.
I just LOOOOVE how ya'll make it look kinda easy-ish - when we ALL know that it's not. Well done Rory
NOW he puts the seat belt on 😂😅 ...... ya kill me Mikey 😅😊
I would check with Matt about warranty on that axel :)
That retrieval of the half shaft was 💯 MacGyver move in my playbook. Rory needs a Members Only jacket and a mullet to make it 110percent MacGyver!!!
Mike is one of my favorite people on youtube. He's not linear and I appreciate his random observations. 👍
Amazing playground you kids got there! :)
A fun video from the Trail Mater team.
Whooped em again huh Rory,top of the line skills man!!!
Yeah boy, whooped them again.
The 3 rod trick was genius
The Kawasaki may be a very reliable unit, but they are the lowest in volume sales. I do like how smooth they climb over the rocks.
It would be interesting to know why, are they more expensive, or do people just buy the popular brands because they think they must be popular because they are better?
does make one wonder if the low number of recoveries on the trail equate to the low number of them on the trails.
Rory was lassoing those Sidebys with his trail tugger rope
Oh dang, that was slick dude, @5:25 you deserve that big grin
That was pretty slick welding the 3 rods together to retrieve the busted shaft
That was ACE the way Rory removed the broken inner piece of axle.
What an amazing skillet you have Rory!!! Most guys would try fishing for that broken axle with a wire loop. You nail it with three electrodes. Very entertaining!!😊😊
Nice meeting you at Maverick that day. We had a great trip. No wonder you guys are so good at what you do what a amazing place to live. Those Moab trails are no joke and if you don't believe it go get you some. I wish you all luck on your Adventures. 🙏
Simply amazing that you had an axle and came up with a way to remove the broken part!!!!!! That is the definition of "prepared"!
Rory the glory, driving backwards and doing the winch man….. so great to see
Lloyd From DownUnder ; Great show guys,, Rory knows all the trics a the trade ah !!! The Cowboys are learning from the best. Awesome trail, Awesome Country,, TOP CONTENT AND AS ALWAYS !!!!!! THE THREE STOOGES ARE JUST THE BEST. 👍💪🏁🏁🏁
Thanks for filming
toy cars on big boy trails... while Rory extracts a broken axle in an ingenious way AND repairs it! Awesome as always.
Hugs from Belgium.
What are you,a waffle?
Hey hello from Hurricane UT. I live in La Belgique late 70s. Is it drizzling rain there?
@@talon0863
yep, cold, wet and grey, lol, hate it. Lived and worked in Arizona for 15 years and miss it every day.
@@jeffreyharbert3439
no, chocolate!
What a great video. All of it. Super cool stuff through and through. And it works because you guys are just being yourselves. That's awsome.
The lil Finesse with the Trail Mater Recovery Rope is Priceless! Really shows the experience and skill of You and your team!
and the Trailmater Recovery Rope!
Happy birthday Rory! 🥳🎉🎂😊
Clever work getting the stump of half shaft out Rory……👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
I didn't feel like a 'like' was sufficient for this vid, so I will leave a comment also. Awesome trail repair and driving footage!
Great afternoon wheelin’. Many thanks for another top notch video. 🇨🇦
A fun day of playing, sharing and schooling 🙂 Thanks for sharing 🙂
OUTSTANDING WORK
Great job
3 rods welded together Genius
I'm impressed with how you got that broken axle shaft piece out of there.
