Ol Blue Rescues A Couple Grand Cherokees

- We got a call later in the day for a Jeep stuck on Elephant Hill. The Park had contacted another tow company in town and their off-road wrecker was down so they called us. Mike and I jumped in OK Blue and drive from Moab to Canyonlands. We picked the customer up at the visitors center and then drove over Elephant Hill to the Jeep. He was backing up the switchback and had dropped a tire off the edge of the retaining wall. He had a winch but not enough line to get to anything substantial and he was very uncomfortable with the situation so he called for help. We got there and after checking the situation we decided on a pull forward. It came out fairly easy. The next day Shawn and I went out on Fins And Things to get another Grand Cherokee that had broken its front driveshaft. So we got to the vehicle and pulled the front shaft out then drove it back to town. We had to pull it up one hill to get it out. Then down to the mechanic shop for repairs. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

That was WAY too easy. No cables snapping, people hollering WHOA, WHOA and boulders plummeting down the cliff! Better for the customer and the safety of all concerned. Best outcome possible. Also, a good example of why Rory does all those "stunts" driving an obstacle backwards for fun. When he needs the skill, he has it. Best off road channel on youtube.
Dam that truck looks fine.But she's built to work and work she does.😊😊😊😊😊
It's easy to see that Mike has the utmost confidence in you and your rig by where he was standing when you were backing up that hill!
Funny! I was thinking the same thing.
Well I think Mike is aware of the old adage that the cameraman never dies!!😊😅😂
I love all the off-road channels equally; they all bring something to my daily enjoyment of TH-cam. But I can't for the life of me figure out how Rory and the gang have only 221k subscribers????
Good question! Rory is one of three channels I watch for new episodes. He has become one of my favorites.
I agree, if people shared his videos on other media type places more would know about is and others channels.
Me neither. It makes no sense.
Love that color green ❤
Dang Blue looks good. 😊
Blue is super cool!
Rory is the Ginger Roger's of off road recoveries. He does everything everyone else does, just backwards and in Dad shoes
I just love how Rory takes a basically stock 4wd tow truck on trails we’re most people are driving highly modified, purpose built, off-road vehicles. He always makes it look easy so now I guess he’s doing it in reverse just to increase the difficulty. Show off!
I suspect there’s not to many people who would even take that truck where you went, mad skills. Another fine recovery
And yes another successful recovery by the Trail Mater Crew. And thank you Mike for AWESOME Camera Work. It makes us feel like we're right there with you guy's. Thanks for the video guy's can't wait for the next one.
I was totally surprised when that first vehicle came out so smoothly. Good call Rory
I love that old blue isn't blue.
You can tell when a man has mad skills when you can back a vehicle as good as you can drive forward. A little bit of a head on a swivel. Man and machine are as one. Once again great camera work and recovery.
gotta love those classic mirrors. 😎
Wow pretty impressed with ole blue. Backed up that hill and didn't even turn a tire over without lockers. Great job to the pilot of the Great Machine.
Nice recoveries. Smart to stop before he made it worse. No shame in calling for help. Thanks for sharing.
Some of the best filming I’ve seen yet.
I have no idea why this channel doesn't have a million subs or more. Compared to all the other off road recovery channels Rory and his crew are the most skilled and exciting to watch. Not to mention he really doesn't press his merch or have a billion adds in one 20 minute video. Like share and subscribe folks.
Great to see ole Blue on the trail again doing recoveries. With your vast assortment of recovery vehicles you can do about any job. You usually have a vehicle for every job depending on where it's at and whether it's a trail fix or a recovery. You guys can do it all. Thanks for another video. I really enjoy watching them
Ol’ Blue is one good looking truck! I really like the fact that he isn’t afraid of using his trucks. ❤
That is the best lookin' GREEN Ol' Blue I've seen yet!! That's one fine looking truck. 😂🤣
Woops for him ,sucks to have a wintch but no were to hook up ,grate work guyes!
I love that old truck
Great to see your vision of Ol' Blue come to fruition and it's awesome!
The Blue Green show is always entertaining.
The most perilous part of that video was watching you back up that trail! Nerves of steel man! The rock formations in that place are unreal.
Ol’ Blue sure is a beautimus color! 🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
Another great rescue by Trail Mater, always impressed with the back up 4 X 4 driving, thanks for bringing us along
Shawn and Rory always put a grin on my face. Good days work fellas 🇺🇲
Old Blue looks great in green!
Luck of the Irish ❤
I don’t remember seeing Hector paint them sweet half doors Mike made.
Ol' Blue looks good in green. 😎👍
Fitting for his name
I've watched alot of 4x4 youtubes. Ole blue and trailmater are the only 4x4s ive seen that are able to backup a big hill. Awesome job building these trucks.
Dammit Rory, I love to see the work you guys do (and act like it's nothing). The trust and confidence that you have in your rig/s and equipment is second to none. The hired help aint bad either.
One big old bruised thumb up!!!
That's a great looking truck,
Nomination for the prettiest off road wrecker!
Thank you Rory, for another Master Class in rock-crawling. Your videos are always inspiring.
As good as anybody can do forward
Does he know how to rescue vehicles when they slid off of the side of a mountain? Does Jesus understand the intricacies of rigging?
I am glad you got the first recovery done so easily. That went so well. Just glad I wasn't the one having to back up old Blue up that trail. especially sense I can't back up worth spit even on flat ground.
Looks like all the suspension upgrades are working great. ORD and Alcan springs are surely the way to go.
Definitely!
Gotta laugh. Most people can't back a little car into a parking space at the mall. You're backing a 108" wide truck between rocks 109" apart and then on cliffs with a sheer drop. Very cool.
Good video of Rory, Shawn and Mike doing what they do and recovering vehicles and doing trail repairs and driving them out! Ole Blue to the rescue and she's very cable now with the new upgrades. Beautiful truck!
You made saving that jeep over the edge look easy. 👍
Love how the largest part of the recovery is getting to the recovery. Great scenery!!
Love watching your amazing driving Rory! That line in with Ol Blue was magic, so smooth.
Old blue to the rescue
Those tall narrow tires on Ole Blue look frickin AWESOME!!!!!
Old blue❤
Old Blue is flexing great.
Hot damn is Blue ever quiet! I don't recall it sounding so smooth. Goes with the paint job I suppose!
That shade of blue looks amazing in the sunlight
I had the same issue with my sockets and rachet set… I sprayed everything with light oil, put expendable foam over one side and closed the lid. The foam cured and filled the gaps around the sockets. Trimmed the excess foam that seeped out, and voilà! No more loose sockets and no more rattling on the trail.
Great recoveries! I can't get over how Bad A$$ Ole Blue looks not to mention how well it does on the trail! Thank you so much for sharing
Man that paint is well done
You make that recovery look way easier than it is!
Ol' Blue is now too pretty to scratch! That truck is my new favorite!
Rory is a better wheeler in reverse than most are going forward. He never fails to impress me on his driving abilities.
Nice to have those big old side mirrors.
Clean rescue.
For the longest time I used the OEM tool chest as my go-to. I got rid of the foam pad and used thick cardboard "cut to match" as the holder which stopped reorganizing the sockets.
When I first "met" Rory it was watching the Off Road Wrecker Games. When he ran Trail Mater backwards up The Chute, I originally thought - wow, what a show off. As I've been following the channel ever since, I've quickly come to realize those type of driving skills came from experience and necessity while performing amazing off road recoveries. Elephant Hill looked crazy on video, so you know running it backwards in real life must have been insane! The skills, knowledge, experience, honesty, genuineness, and humor on this channel is beyond refreshing. Love watching what you guys do! Keep up the great work!
Ol blue looking real good
Man, is Old Blue a good looking wrecker. It’s almost as handsome and capable as Rory, Mike and Sean.
Ole Blue seems to be more of "Mean Green" these days. Great working truck no matter the name or the color. Nice to see it work and do the job for you and your customers.
my lord what a great look'n truck
Again, making the difficult look easy 🤘😁🤘
Old blue looking good, but I sure do miss the Trail Mater content. I just love that old truck!
Ol’ Blue’s exhaust is very fitting!
Study your geometry in school kids. Rory is a master at it.
What a good-looking rig old blue is....
Classic paint job, great old school look.
The black underneath is the ultimate🤌🏼💥 missed you guys...
Awesome Job Fellas!!! Ol Blue is putting in the work!!! Awesome!!!
It's great watching Ol' Blue in action. I can understand the value of a closed cab in the winter. Especially when blasting down the highway. Stay safe and have a great New Year.
Just watching this and seeing what you've done to Ol Blue.... what a magnificent and capable truck.
I have those same tool sets and just cut out a piece of cardboard to replace foam and everything stays in place. Awesome videos! Just got my Trailmater hoodie the other day. You guys rock!
Looks like the suspension is working pretty nice. Good shots driving off into the sunset.
Rory I know the west coast mirrors look cool but after working at a GMC dealers body shop in the 70's I know the carnage to the door when they hit something. I like the videos you guys do as it shows how much you love the trails and are generous with scenery for us. I live on Cape Cod a great place but for such different reasons
So nice to see old blue performing like champ and look like movie star congrats
Knowing when to stop and call for help is a SKILL/TALENT also 👍
WOW!!!! What an amazing sunset as you guys were driving out. Keep it up you guys 😊
Ole blue turns green when it means business.😊
Ol' Blue looks frigging sweet man!
Old Blue is as green as the tow trucks I used to drive in Vegas back in '81. I drove for 7-11 towing briefly when the garage sold the tow business.
Rory in my opinion you seem to do better backing up a trail in old Blue then driving because you made that look easy and effort less. I think old Blue could easily handle Pritchard trail
Thanks for your time 😊
Nice recovery... more impressive was the backing job!! NICE, Rory!!!
I love the green paint on ole blue, Rory it’s a really beautiful truck now! I love Trail Mater because it’s just a B/A, and it’s been to hell and back a few times! It’s proven itself many times! Now ole Blue is doing great and I like it more and more every time yall go on a rescue! Plus you handle Trail Mater better than anyone else Rory, it’ll always be THE BOSS! Good rescue guys and thanks for sharing! Kirk from Louisiana always sending prayers and positive vibes to you and your families! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
.... It's the frame. That has to be the quote of the year . Looking forward to the calls Rory, Lilly, Shawn and Mike will take us on in 2024 !
Ole Blue is not green with envy for underneath that beautiful shade of green paint is the heart of Old Blue. By the way Rory, my favorite color is green.
Love how professional you guys operate!!!
Great way to start the day. Thanks for sharing. Nice camera work guys. We all know what it feels like to get saved from hurting ourselves, or making the job more difficult for someone else to fix. Good job.
Always amazed how easy you make things look!
Old blue is looking phenomenal! and performing as well.
I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and enjoyed every one of them. When you cut the back of ole blue and cut the bed on your dodge, I was having mini heart attacks!!! 😅😅the one thing that I have learned from those videos is, if it's yours and it don't work, just fix it so that it will. Nobody is going to be happy about 100% of what you do, but ya know what? It's mine, I can fix it however I see fit and if someone don't like it then they can try and buy it from me and fix it however they want.
Glad to see Mike keeping that door open for a quick escape...
He was smart to stop and call for help instead of maybe tipping it oner and down the hill! The second one just pull the drive shaft and tow it back. Lod Blue getting used!
Ole Blue looks so amazing!
Great as always!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
First to comment 🙂 although 4th view... Rory drives backwards better than most people do forwards 🙂 So.. if you didn't drive down all those bumpy rocky roads the tool kit would not need the double foam buffer to keep everything in its place 😂🤣😂 Thanks for sharing 🙂
BFD!!🙄
Old Blue looks so good❤
You make driving look so easy , Rory . All of your crew are very good drivers and I love watching you .
That is one tough looking truck! It turned out perfect!
Upgrade to suspension looks amazing
