Sprinter Van At Night, Brand New Jeep On Golden Spike
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
As soon as we got back to town from Farmington we got a call from dispatch about a Sprinter Van on Long Canyon that was worried about tipping over. So we headed up and got them back on level ground and turned around. I believe the call for the jeep on Golden Spike came in the day before we left for Farmington. We got up there and tried to reset the computer, but to no avail. The customer wanted it towed to the trailhead so they could load it on a trailer and haul it to a dealership since it was still under warranty. His buddy also had a control arm bracket that had broke. They welded it with a trail Welder but asked since we were already there if we could touch is up. So we did. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

"I love those noises" The Rory quote of the month. Halfway defines this channel.
I wish you could see me in my office chair, rolling around all over, trying to get you up, around, over, and past all the difficult points in this trail. I'm trying really hard to get you there. Hope you can feel the support! I love your videos and your skills and planning. I mean, who else carries a spare starter.

I think those guys watching Rory and Mike on that last obstacle were saying the same thing, except I feel sure that one or two of them were saying 'No way in hell is going to pull that heavy jeep up that!' but then he exactly that. No winch. No crazy run up bouncing off the rev limiter. Just slow and sure feeling for the line and grip and up they went. I guess it did help have that bit of slack in the tow line to be fair.

Its been great to see how much Rory has grown as a Content Creator.
You know it’s a tough obstacle when Rory & TM pull cable. ❤
Knowing that the camera always flattens things out, that was a tremendous exhibition of what trail matter can do with the experienced driver. Wow
The first couple being all the way across the country to pick hops was priceless!
Nothing cooler or better to watch than Rory and Trail Mater in action. 😍 So cool to watch!

Like Matt at MORR said. Trail Mater has a Soul.
V8 rumbling, tires chirping, rigging rattling = best music
That last shot was priceless. I would be helping dad as a teenager and he would tell me to get in there and start that nut, bolt, whatever because his hands were too big. Miss my dad…..that was a long time ago.
Without all the squeaks I almost didn't recognize Trail-mater. 🤣😂😅😁😆😉😉
Love watching you. I never thought watching someone else drive would ever be so interesting.
Hey Super Man, I know how much those starters weigh and you just one hand it like it's nothing. great video thanks for sharing .
I'm guessing the dispatcher told you it was a brewery van. If not that was an amazing guess. Wasn't quite a man bun but I bet he often has his flowing locks tied in a bun while brewing his craft beers.
Back about 15 years or so ago when we were visiting Moab on a regular basis, we hiked a lot of these trails. And we thought what nice HIKING trails. The wheeling/crawling scene was just getting started. Never in our wildest dreams could we know that people would actually drive vehicles over these trails! And then we would WATCH A WRECKER TOW PEOPLE OUT OF THESE TRAILS! WOW! We are addicted to your channel. The whole crew is so awesome! PS: the W.E Rock people need to create The Rory Irish Most Sportsmanlike Award... and we know who would win that most of the time. 😁
You and Mike together are frickin golden! Like watching two guys that have been best friends since gradeschool
buys a new jeep, takes it to some of the roughest trails in the country and needs to get rescued by a truck older than he is that looks like it escaped from the junk yard..PRICELESS... that shot from in the cave was BRILLANT

Thanks for always calling out names of the obstacles/trails…No Left Turn looks sketchy as shhhh…the fact that Mike did not call out a spot once…man that’s slick!
Seeing the Sprinter with one wheel spinning in the air and all those auxiliary lights is the poster shot of the phrase "lights before lockers"🤣
Some of the best stuff on KZread, people give Rory, Sean, and Mike some love. Click the thumbs up button! They should be closer to a million subscribers.
I’m glad no one slipped in the SOY leaking from the sprinter.
Besides the NEXT LEVEL FEEL AND CONTROL FOR THE THROTTLE AND CLUTCH APPLICATION DURING THE LOW SPEED CLIMBS WITH THE JEEP ON THE LINE... What ultimately gets it for me is you guys having a laugh at the end, with that whole "new" perspective shot, as RORY causally 🤣 installed the new starter! If you guys thought the closer shots would make your trail fixes LOOK more difficult, it didn't. We don't believe you RORY! You make it look easy because with your SUPREME TALENT, ITS BECOME EASY FOR YOU, JUST LIKE YOUR DRIVING ABILITY AS WELL! HAHA! LMAO 🤣
Getting a couple years out of a starter on a motor with headers that spends most of its life in low range in a hot environment is pretty good
That was no easy recovery but you guys make it look so easy. And saving the poor van that just needs some lockers (or winch) was priceless.

My complements to that old 454. It really has the bottom end torque to get the job done. That was impressive dead pulling that Jeep up at the end. Not surprised that you had the starter with you, knowing the old one was going out. Get all the life out of the old one. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate how you guys call out each section or obstacle. No Left Turn gets me every time!

Nice vid, liked that transition between the van at night to trail mater during the day with the night timelapse. Also good job at your comp over the weekend.
Just a little night time excursion, followed by a "you're bringing a wrecker?!?". Lol, not JUST a wrecker, but a First Class award winning Ugly Rig !! & lots of chuckles in between ! Thanx !
Wicked shots guys !!! Your camera game has always been savage , but y'all are taken it to the next level . Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work
You are going across some of the most iconic trails in that area in a wrecker. You are my new hero.
You guys never cease to amaze and entertain your followers and the people you rescue.

Hi Rory , I'm in Minnesota waiting to get my car towed , no spark , I've been waiting for a AAA tow for 3 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES now , 70 degrees , calm , no rain , watching my FAVORITE recovery guy . Update : I waited exactly a total of 5 HOURS and finally a tow truck arrived ! and I live by a large city ( St. Paul , Minnesota ! ) .
We are an inch to an inch and a half from the golden Crack on the map. - - great directions 👌
Great public service at all hours of the day... Hi Mike and Rory... It is a ballet on the trails... man and machine...
Watching you change the starter reminds me of modern rigs where you have to remove half the front end . I hate working on late model junk .
Bet the guys watching you climb before the battery went dead we’re taking bets you couldn’t drag that jeep up. Little do they know the magic Rory and Mater have. Another great one.m
Hahaha 🤣 well you got to admit that was a good starter shot 😂👍🏼👍🏼
I hope the dude with the Sprinter sends you a crate of "Night Rescue" craft IPA 🙂
Great camera work. The No Left Turn segment was awesome. Had me holding my breath for a few seconds.
I’m noticing a shift in how I view these videos. I’m still fascinated with the fab stuff and the technique for negotiating obstacles, but the visual smorgasbord that I’ve been missing the first viewing entices me back for another look. What an awesome office you have. We did a driving trip through southern Utah and never had this kind of visual stimulation. You guys are good at so many things.
You blokes really lift my day every time you post a video! Thank you. We don't have anything like this kind of terrain in Yorkshire outside of manmade stuff at the 4x4 centres, so envious.
you better keep a hold of Mike. he's got a calling as a HOLLYWOOD cinemaphotographer
You know your a real mechanic when you can blindly use a crescent wrench with just your fingertips turning a nutt using just the tip of the crescent wrench and not skip a beat while tightening it 1/6th a turn at a time.
"I bet theres a man bun and IPA waiting for us". Literally on a journey for hopps 😅
Would love to bring the old zj out there to play, and maybe follow along to observe you and Mater doing a recovery, be pretty cool to see in person after watching so many of your awesome videos,,, Mater is such a beast, I'm jelly, and you're quite the capable person, always prepared and equipped for pertnear dangnear anything
Videos just keep getting better. Thanks Rory and crew. And thanks to those people who get out there and need help.
We need a video of bloopers, outtakes, & "Rory-isms".
We need to all just bow to Rory! Great vid! Your competition sharpened your skills even more.
A whole craft brewery waiting for you.
You made my morning.
We need to send this man some batteries. Awesome driving as always!
That’s funny man bun to the rescue. Man bun sure tells good stories he was not even close to the cliff
That transition from night to day was sweet!! Keep up the great work as always!!
Another great video of two completely different salvage. It remains special to see how you overcome all those obstacles with Trail Mater. And then with a jeep in tow. Great job.
That no left turn freaked me out. That’s the best ever. Awesome
I just can't get over how capable mater is, I just love watching it in action.
I’m always impressed with the guys ( and girls ) that tackle those trails but the guy that I’m really impressed with is the first one that tackled it.
The star timeline was unexpected but really cool.
Awesome recoveries, You guys are still funny Rory you and Trail Mater are awesome
Hello , I always wonder how it's possible to drive these crazy machines in such places even on foot, it's almost impassable, it's crazy! 🤩
At Gatekeeper, nothing like a skilled driver and big block torque. 👍
By now I am ready to run over Goonie foot! Your driving skills are incredible Rory! What a great rescue!
There are the videos I love... really tough access with Trail Mater, field repairs (including repair of Trail Mater) and a tough extraction... it had it all. No easy day. This one was real work.
Hilarious, man bun, no doubt that dude rocks a man bun with a hat like that
Love that old school style light bar, but with new bright efficient lighting.
It’s amazing the abuse them tires take. And again the old wrecker is a monster. Thanks for another great video
TrailMater is greater than the sum of her parts! Each component gives its all toward the mission at hand. When one finally breathes its last gasp of breath on earth, Rory commissions a replacement trooper to stand in its place. Ready to join the long line of parts that make these missions possible.

Who doesn't carry a starter just in case 🤣 Another great video guys
Rory, this was EXTREMELY impressive.
After W.E.ROCK and then man bun, Rusty nail in the wrecker should be a piece of cake, especially since you showed the Gooney Bird some love. I love Rory; "Yeah, this is the gatekeeper. 29 inch tires need not apply" :D Then Mater crawls up with little effort. Also; How often do you change the starter? When it dies, DUH! How often do you change yours? Do we put things off because we are busy? Yeah, just like everyone else. Can we fix it when it dies? You bet your sweet Bippi! You guys are the best! Give Lily a hug for me and God Bless you all.
Never a dull moment. O blue & Trail Mater rule! Rusty Nail is hard core and Mater crawls over it no problem. Excellent recoveries.
See, that's officially not possible, but that rating leaves out Rory and Mike and the incomparable Trail Mater!
can we get a gofundme for Rory to get a few more go-pro batteries? Your content is getting better and better, but what locked me in and always keeps me coming back is your genius ability to make repairs and recovery look easy, when no one else would have a snowball's chance in hell even attempting it!
I sit here and watch the video and can't hardly believe it! How Trailmater holds up and how you drive it is amazing.
I just have one thing to say, that is one beast of a tow truck!
Lol man bun and craft beer waiting for us 😂
Yes sir, be prepared!🦅🇺🇸🏁
your office is AWESOME-thanks so much for sharing
That looks like a challenging one change of starters while you're doing recovery that's awesome keep up the great videos Brothers
Damn it, Rory! 30 seconds in and I'm laughing already. "When We have a Man-Bun in jeopardy....We are on it!"
Skillful driving and great recoveries, guys. 👍 My fear of heights would probably prevent me from driving many of the trails in Moab, even in something like a lightly modified (basically stock) '82 Chevy pickup.
Hey Rory & Mike !!! Great job on both parts !!🙃😉😛 Just a suggestion !!! Need to put a ""BATT. Charger "" in "" MATER"" for the ""GOPRO "" ,,That way you'll always have ""POWER"" to Spare with extra "BATTS."" 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤠😎😮👍👍👍👍👍
A man bun in jeopardy 🤣🤣 I love this channel
One Easy ! One not so easy ! Nice Video ! Thanks for sharing ! Crazy Trails !
You just know it's gnarly when Rory needs the winch.....even if it was to pull him 2 feet to get the pumpkin off the rock....lol......I'd have a hard time walking that trail let alone "cruising" it with a square body!!!!!
I always have a good laugh about the commentary on the overlanding vehicles or the Toyotas with snorkels. I laugh every time.
Great footage Thanks Mike. I think the eventual tow truck Olympics should have some challenges like this with the jeep.

I've watched a lot more of the other three than Rory. Only because I didn't know about him till the recovery with Matt and Robby. Having said that, I agree with you somewhat. Matt may have an advantage in the sand. He's has years to play in it. Paul, is probably equal to Matt. Eric is from a different side of things. Although his wrecker was impressive at EJS, he's still out of his element. Put everybody in Eric's area. He's going to win.
