Awesome Steering Knuckle Trail Repair

First up was some maintenance/repair on Trailmater from the Wrecker Games. It was staying in 1st gear and we tracked it down to a broken shifter. After replacing that it was back to work. We got a call for a jeep up on the Metal Masher Trail with a broken steering knuckle. The knuckle is an aftermarket brand and aluminum. So we grabbed some things hoping for a decent enough repair job to get it off the trail and down to the road where it could be towed back to the parking lot. Instead we got a rather inventive trail repair that drove it off the trail, back to the parking lot, and I believe after we left they drove it back to town. So it went well and got them out before dark. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Rory proved that trailmater was on the map long before the “Wrecker Games” I really respect Rory for his patience with all this RU-vid stuff. Changing into a “Personality” is far from natural for him. As long as you guys continue to record what you normally do, it will always be interesting. When you start “acting or inventing” content that changes things. You guys are easy to watch. I watch several off road guys and really enjoy the shenanigans in this garage. I don’t know which I liked more the butt first chute run or Merlin’s “I’m a happy dog, just a happy, happy dog.” Dead pull. Either way I got more than I paid for 😂

It would have been much easier to just tow it out, but you chose to do a near impossible repair in the field putting back together a cast aluminum knuckle and making a wrap around perfect fit steel reinforced support so they could continue on their way.

Rory that solution was amazing. To weld the aluminum and then build a steel over coat to go over the whole aluminum arm, place the steel over coat over the arm, then drill the steel over coat and the arm, then tap the drilled holes and, place two bolts through the over coat and into the arm. It's crazy and it was a work of magic by the Magician/Rory and then the customer drives the Jeep out and possibly all the way home to Denver. Rory you are a Magician.😊
