@@samcobuggies984 whatever works. It’s life in the sand like a sand dragster. It’s a traction and power game. The paddles are necessary for sand crawling.
Rory will need a hand on something one day - it always comes around in one form or another. Great to see everyone working together. Greetings to you all from New Zealand.
It takes all 3 rescue companies to save a Bronco on the sand trap. You didn't make a call, because they were already there. But with your sand anchor, you might have made it anyway.
With the fraction boards strapped to the rear wheels of Trail Mater, she behaved just like a sea turtle on the beach, getting ready to lay her eggs. Truly precious. Fun videos from both you and the Fab Rats. Thanks!
Rory is one of about 4 TH-camrs I do that with automatically. (Matt, Paul, and Casey LaDelle are the other three.) It's my little contribution to help in their success.
Matt would leave it at the shop with his other gear he never takes. He wants light weight. How many times have we seen him towing a vehicle when all it needed was a tyre, a jump, a gallon of fuel.
I think Paul’s wrecker is a refinement of trail mater mostly because of the hydraulic boom capabilities if and when he has it all nailed down he might give Rory a run for his money. But trailmater has been solid for years and Rory’s experience is unparalleled, overall both great rigs both great guys .
What I've learned from all these sand chute runs between Matt's videos and this one, is that although you don't need crazy hp to go rock crawling, it sure is helpful when climbing a sand chute lol
I watched Paul's video of this adventure a few days ago, and it's fascinatingly to see it from Rory's point of view. I love Mike's sense of humour. He is so dry, and very funny.
Just like the wrecker games. Rory got the job done without tearing anything up despite not having the home advantage or the best tool for the job, and he helped out others along the way. If I get stuck or broke down in the Backcountry of south central Utah, I know who I'd call first.
WOW, this field testing event and collaboration with FR was awesome! Even better that both channels published their views of the results! Bravo to all involved!
Oh goody , the other view of the Rory and Mike with Paul and Sean shenanigans ! I still think Paul should have had a truck hooked to the back of his truck " tow truck towing a tow truck towing a truck 🤣
I don’t know why but watching this made me think of a song from the musical Annie Get Your Gun I saw on tv when I was a teenager many, many moons ago! ”Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you. No you can't. Yes, I can. No, you can't. Yes, I can. No, you can't. Yes, I can; Yes, I can; Yes, I Can!” Including getting stuck trying to get out of the sandchute! This was a hoot, glad it didn’t take as long as Matt to get out! 😂👍💕
No matter what adventure Rory is on it’s always watching absolute 1st class top quality viewing and it’s really clear if towmater struggles it definitively not for amateurs and it’s always great to see Rory Paul and Matt out together 👍
@@thomasfletcher760 really, I'm no longer trail mater's#1 fan?🤔 I missed an episode and an entire experience? I know they were in New Mexico at WE Rock a couple of weeks ago...
@@thomasfletcher760no he hasn't. You're confusing the WeRock event in Farmington with the 24 Hours to Hell & Back. He may have already tun it (I'm not sure), but he hasn't posted a video of it. If I'm wrong, post a link to the video. 😉
Torque versus horsepower, learned this from you Rory, this time horsepower might’ve ruled the day, but it really boils down to tool specific applications
Paul has more torque and hp than rory. They both have bbc 454. But paul has a th400 and 5.38 gear. Rory has sm465 and 4.10 gear. That is what makes the big difference
Paul and Rory seen this challenge and attempted it going full bore and they know that their recovery trucks are not made for these serious sand recovery's and Matt's vehicles are better suited for them. The important thing they learned was have fun in a serious situation and get the Sand Devil out! Oh and AIR DOWN YOUR TIRES!
Except these guys don't gleefully ditch their broken down friends. Although Rory and Paul did make it a point to always call MORR for recoveries in the sand chute. Not them!
Wisconsin dude here. The first time I went off-roading in Moab was 1996 (19yo at the time, in July, driving an 89 Dodge Raider with no AC). The scene and times have changed. The Pull-Pal was certainly a real product advertised and used in the 4wd magazines of the time. Rory is probably the best rock driver I have ever seen. I am amazed by the skill and knowledge that he has. This channel shows that "old tech" 4wd works really well and knowing of when to winch. I want the trails to stay open, but if no one remembers "Tread Lightly"(and lots $$$ wreaking the trails) that won't happen. Pick up your trash and anything resembling trash as you go. Don't make a new line without thinking about it, and how others may follow it. (sometimes it can't be helped... I get it). These are the amazing spaces, that we can enjoy forever if we are responsible...
You cant know how much it warms my cold black heart to see all y'all coming together like ya do! Y'alls just like one big happy family! ( Or, maybe even better? ) Thank you all so much for sharing your wonderful lives with us!
That sand chute is a beast of an obstacle. Seems to require a very narrow combination of weight, power, gearing, tire tread, tire size "footprint"... Between you and MORR I've only seen a couple of vehicles power up it like it was nothing. Everything else struggles.
That was quite amazing! It's like every one was on various spots on the daisy chain. One that was at the front ended up at the back or somewhere in the middle. You guys were playing musical spots in line. Great fun watching Trail Mater and the "Shermanator" playing together. Hope Paul doesn't mine me referring to the Fab Rat Wrecker that way. I think that sand anchor is a necessity in that sand!
Really cool to see the other side of the bad decisions. Always fun to watch when you & Paul get together. You never know whats going to happen. Thanks for sharing
A take apart version of a plow anchor developed near 50 years ago for anchoring large vessels in a sand bottom. The harder the pull the deeper it digs into the sand. I spent 60 years of my near 70 on in under the oceans of the world. Developed by the British.
But there's been nothing built yet that doesn't have the potential to break. Just imagine the force of the projectile if that thing pulled out or broke off.
The amount of respect I have for you having your wrecker a manual transmission is astronomical. I am a diehard standard transmission guy and I know the skill it takes to speed shift under stress like that.
This was by far one of my most favorite episodes and its crazy how the camera doesnt do justive for how steep that hill must be! You guys most certainly did a phenomenal job 👏
Trail Mater was made for low and slow on Moabs rocks. Rory did fantastic considering the location. Great video from both sides. I'd love to go wheeling with all of them.
FabRats killed it. Great job, Paul. Victory pie for you. Really missed Matt there to tease and assist. His guys did a good job. Rory fixing his wrecker on the fly never disappoints.
Good thing Matt's crew turned up 😂😂 This really does highlight the difference between rig builds.. some are for rocks, some are for sand, others mud...
29:26 I feel your pain, Rory. That rabbitbrush causing allergies this time of year is the worst--and you caught a bunch of it in the same shot as your sneeze!
I watched Paul's video earlier, but they left out a lot of what TrailMater did. This video filled in a lot of gaps! It seems to me that the first one to go up the hill may make it, but the vehicles that go next will be in trouble. At least all the bad decisions made for great videos, and hopefully, everyone had some fun!.
Paul's truck weighs 2,000 lb less than Rory's. Rory did a lot better after airing down his tires, but still needed to break out the sand anchor to get up the first section. Jefe and Rhett blazed out of there without assistance, and helped pull out the 2 broken vehicles.
Awesome that looks like some good times. Lucky for Paul Trail Mater was there. Great job playing around. And the ole sand anchor saved the day. Just goes to show once again how awesome Trail Mater’s set up is.
Great video and collab! Even though the camera doesn't pick up how steep things are, I think Mike does about the best job of being able to pick that up as best as possible.
Hi Trail mater do you know I really love your show and I am very happy you are helping people when they need help when they need help I will always praying 🙏 for you and your family and friends and your little girl ok you please please be careful ok you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox
Rorys knowledge of all thinks towing is amazing. Awesome collaboration between two of my favorite channels. Rory and Paul go at thinks from opposite sides. Paul just gun it and Rory is methodical.
I like the “hole digger” attachment you tried, that would be good for tilling soft fields! Auto trans for the WIN, they over heat when they are pulling stuck manual shift vehicles out!
Remember, Kids!
The sand chute is not a toy.
And one more thing.
Great job on the recovery, the self recovery, and the other recovery!
Your advice falls on deaf ears, I'll be taking my sand buggie down it. If I fail to get out, , , then I'll make a call.
@@samcobuggies984or you buy paddle wheel tires and don’t have a problem, and have a winch with a sand anchor.
@@samcobuggies984deaf but I digress
@@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550 I have paddles, but is it cheating to have them with me? Just in case 😉

Loved how Rory emphasized that for anyone stuck in the sand chute to call MORR. He doesn't want that headache lol

Isn't nature beautiful? 😂
Two board on the front and he would have been golden
Makes sense - Trail Mater does occasionally lay eggs.
Omg so accurate 😂😂😂
If you plan on going to the Sand Chute, go early in the morning because it's going to be a long day.
Or bring a tent and supplies.
"Oh yea I'm not worried" as he roots around inside his transmission with a pry bar.. lol but lo and behold he prevailed as always.
5 thumbs up 24 seconds after posting…pretty impressive. Always fun to see Rory and Paul together.
I give Rory a thumbs up even before I watch the video 👍👍👍
Rory is one of about 4 TH-camrs I do that with automatically. (Matt, Paul, and Casey LaDelle are the other three.) It's my little contribution to help in their success.
Paul and Matt both need a sand anchor!
I think this taught Paul that lesson.
Yup , Now we understand what that Holey Plate is on Back of Trail Mater .... ;)
Matt would leave it at the shop with his other gear he never takes. He wants light weight. How many times have we seen him towing a vehicle when all it needed was a tyre, a jump, a gallon of fuel.
@@graememckay9972 matt knows what supplies to prioritize. #1, 2, and 3 is junk food
😂 when Rory lost his shoe, I lost it 😂
Me too!
@@grannyt6819 Likewise!! Was so funny seeing Him digging Shoe out.
Oh the fun. And horsepower ratings for cargo straps 😂😂😂😂😂. Keep it up you guys. 🎉🎉🎉
Paul's wrecker just seems to be perfectly geared for that first section.
It never faltered and sounded like a real beast! Hope the head / water pump leak can be fixed easily.
5.38 gear
Having an automatic and thus the ability to shift is a HUGE advantage in deep sand and deep dense snow.

But trailmater has been solid for years and Rory’s experience is unparalleled, overall both great rigs both great guys .
400 hp, makes a big difference.
It's always fun when a bunch of bad ideas come together... LOVE IT !!!
If it wasn't for " bad ideas " or " bad decisions " life would be boring 🤣
@@thomasfletcher760 How True!! Makes life more interesting as well.
In my 40+ years of stumbling my way through life, I've learned that poor decisions usually lead to the best stories and unforgettable memories 🤣🤷♂️
What I've learned from all these sand chute runs between Matt's videos and this one, is that although you don't need crazy hp to go rock crawling, it sure is helpful when climbing a sand chute lol
Runnin in the sand is all about wheel speed a good set of tires and a bit of HP, if you don't got it you ain't gettin up it.
I watched Paul's video of this adventure a few days ago, and it's fascinatingly to see it from Rory's point of view. I love Mike's sense of humour. He is so dry, and very funny.
That sand saver is a cool tool! Looks fun!
"Sand anchor beats sand trap" is the quote of the day.
The entertainment value on the Sand Chute is tremendous.
It’s hilarious to see more than one side of the story on these.
I love Rory's sense of humor. 😊

Sand Anchor is impressive.
WOW, this field testing event and collaboration with FR was awesome! Even better that both channels published their views of the results! Bravo to all involved!
Good video, Your truck is more built for rock and trail and hauling crap out rather than floating on sand. I wonder how the scrambler would of done.
first time I have seen an anchor used that much and it works exactly as needed , i like it
Oh goody , the other view of the Rory and Mike with Paul and Sean shenanigans ! I still think Paul should have had a truck hooked to the back of his truck " tow truck towing a tow truck towing a truck 🤣
the whole time im like "This is so idiotic!!" but yet its so funny... Great job guys... love from India!!

Mike is doing a great job with video and commentary...that looked like a fun day with Fan Rats and Matt's crew...
Paul may have won the sand chute, but at the end of the day we all saw who was left standing and doing the work. Awesome video!

Sand anchor for the win. What a fun day.
The Sand Chute is a lot like the Bermuda Triangle.
Not all that go in will come out. If something can go wrong, it will.
I think we have all been waiting for this video since Matt got in over his head
I'm definitely ordering a sand anchor.
The good natured ribbing had me laughing out loud.
Power and wheel speed is everything..Just like on a dirt Bike..
Torque versus horsepower, learned this from you Rory, this time horsepower might’ve ruled the day, but it really boils down to tool specific applications
Gearing..... makes a huge difference in sand
And tire pressure
Horsepower with a torque converter...
Paul has more torque and hp than rory. They both have bbc 454. But paul has a th400 and 5.38 gear. Rory has sm465 and 4.10 gear. That is what makes the big difference
@@Nicco.L Rory installed a tired 454 from junk. No horsepower.
You can't B.S. sand.
So every video on Matt's channel from now on will be a sand chute recovery. Good work men. Love you......
Momentum along with tire pressure are your best friends in the sand!
I think trail mater did excellent because even if it went down alone it would have got out alone which it did because of rorys well planned rig.
trail mater is a rock crawling star ⭐

*_MORR For The Win !_** Jefe and Rhett in the Bronco and Banana ruled that day.*
*Great Fun all around ------*
Yeah and if Matt’s wrecker would had working lockers the first attempt it would have crawled right up
Did we watch the same video? Jefe was the last person trying to help. Sure, he made it up fast, but when it comes to pulling a load it is a turd.
Can't wait to see Merlin try, he would put on a great show
The most amazing part was you both got out the same day, unlike someone else we know!
That was quite amazing! It's like every one was on various spots on the daisy chain. One that was at the front ended up at the back or somewhere in the middle.

@@imagseer When you are winching slow against a sand anchor there's next to no energy in the line so even if it broke, nothing dramatic would happen.
This was great fun to watch, that hill is no joke 👍
Mike has the best attitude. I watch because of him. Rock on, guys!
Why does that Bronco sound like my grandparent's old vacuum?
😅
Brilliant entertainment. Always wanted to see if traction boards could work strapped on :-)

That sand looks like cinnamon. The way the board were digging in was impressive. This should be called the cinnamon challenge. lol
Between the Rory and Trailmater that machine is unstoppable!
Were you even watching the video?, the sand chute stopped him dead, which proves no weakness on his part, just a very hard climb.
