Sand Recovery, GPS, Projects 

“They’re talking to me again…” 😆 loving the out take shorts on the end, so funny, keep doing what you’re doing 🙂

Rory is actually a pretty natural (and funny) comedian as well as the undisputed master of trail recovery and repairs.

Rory, you have the unique ability to see the whole project in your mind from the beginning to the end. It beats chasing paper drawings and schematics.

You guys are having too much fun 😄 I've met many people who blindly trust the GPS and couldn't read a paper map to save their life...usually the same people who can't turn around in a parking lot without getting stuck lol! The lack of common sense and "responsibility" these days is astounding

The Outro in the middle was your most professional. Your Outro blooper expecting lighten strikes from the heavens was awesome.

I keep getting stuck in my Toyota Prius because i keep watching Rory video's and see him going there. So it's not my fault.

I always knew we were very similar, but as soon as you started in about the V10 I am convinced that we must be related 😂😂

"So many bad ideas all in pristine condition!" Started my morning off with breath-taking laughter! Love you guys!

A good warning about use of GPS systems ....... A good example is a recovery where Mike Patey and HeavyDSparks recovered a motor home when it became stuck with an elderly couple took a bad turn and the male ended up losing his life after a week or so. Thanks Rory for covering this subject

You hit the nail on the head with this one. So many people don't know how to take responsibility for their actions and are no longer able to think for themselves. If a device isn't feeding them information, they're lost.

What’s coming then the world’s largest 6x6 heavy wrecker. Great video Rory, your cinematography was good but you are getting better and better with each one.

Loved the comment about GPS. A sign in the middle of our mid-city botanical gardens says "This is not a camping ground - Your GPS is wrong". Enjoyed the outtakes - I so relate!

So many fascinating projects coming down the road. Your subscribers are like little birds loudly chirping at their mother “more mom, give us more!”

I listen to the voices all the time! Man do they come up with some crazy ideas... Hold my beer and I will show you! Lol... Fantastic as always!

That's awesome! "We've got a winch, and we've got a military shovel, that's all we need! "

Mike is the perfect "Ed McMahon" to Rory's "Johnny Carson" in this dramatic comedy show we enjoy as "Trail Mater". Both of their senses' of timing and their expert understanding of the landscape in which they work make it possible for them to play off from each other. Both are totally capable and both are totally comfortable in each other's company. Ed, of course, always defers to Johnny and allows him to score the 'big chuckle'. Well done!

Good words of advice, "if it does not feel right, take another route." Especially in unknown areas.

Ok the looking up and over your shoulder was perfect LOL!!!

Love your ideas for the 6-wheeler and Robbie's wrecker. I'll be watching 😀

Matt and Paul are bad ass’s but I’d bet money they will learn a few things during the wrecker competition.

Oh man Rory is just the type of uncle we ALL want in our lives

I really love your thought process : need a tool for a job, let's build the right tool !

Well said sir! Side by side limo service?. Great idea👏👍🍻

Responsibility or admitting when we are in the wrong is a key part a life. Great content!

Lamenting the death of responsibility. Thanks for the video and the message - you and your team are awesome and so dang funny! Thanks for being who you all are.

Rory, you've always gotten my attention with all your trucks, but with this 6x6... Oh Boy... I cannot wait to see you cutting and welding and adding things to it...

Rory- I love your humour !!! Old school will work our way through things and persevere - "electronic dependent" will "shush" people riding with them when directions are electronically given- How do we cut the cord from the GPS to have it give "Suggestions" and by god - we use our head and make the final call ! Siri doesn't know your favourite colour- google doesn't know if you've met your dream other- so don't empower GPS that it "knows" the route safely !!! Great video as always Rory ! Shout out to Mike for the angles of the camera :)

"Responsibility being off limits!" The smartest and truest thing I've heard since... you know!

If you tell your Sat Nav that you are in a car when you set it up, it will take you down dirt tracks. But if you tell it your in a Truck or a Semi, it will keep you on paved roads. In theory.

Good to see that you run around a little to have some fun while you are out working. Always take some time for fun, it keeps us healthy!

With Robby's truck, I am with you... that chevy engine is a beast itself and you can find parts on every shelf out there...

You make me want to be 30 years younger and come out and play goodness how nice it is to have a good job I appreciate your content your creativity !

what a super rad area, so beautiful and so neat to see the trees among the dunes. Your GPS PSA was on point Rory. People gotta take ownership that if they venture off pavement the results could be as bad as fatal. your 6x6 with the Dodge looks rad. Plus the SxS are getting so big and heavy having a full flatbed on you and omitting the trailer makes perfect sense. I can't wait for this build! I am an avid disliker of anything Ford. Between their appropriate acronyms and mile long recall lists, most mechanics are grateful for them as it keep the job in business. Can't wait for Robby's wrecker build!

Rory, I appreciate your candor and how much more comfortable you’ve become with sharing your voice in front of and behind the camera. When I first started watching you it was all about the truck and the terrain. You were just the quiet, gruff, and slightly awkward operator. I hope you realize how much sharing your work, life, family, and personality helps connect you with your audience. Keep up the great work. It’s been fun to see your channel and business grow. Just don’t ever change, I still love the slightly gruff and awkward operator who now more readily speaks his mind. I don’t think I’m alone in stating that it’s very entertaining. To hell with the haters and know-it-alls. Be safe out there.

I don't care what anyone else may say about your decisions, because in my book you are a totally unconventional mechanical genius. You only need to look at Trail Mater and compare that with conventional knowledge to prove my point that you make a machine to do a non standard job efficiently. Keep up the good work.

They (the park service) should hire you guys to do their Public service announcements (PSA's) Excited to see both those projects in get underway. BTW I'm completely with you on the cost effective "use what you already have" Approach to building projects.

Can't wait for the "heavy wrecker" build. No nonsense build. Let's get it going!

"Responsibility" 👍 "Their Fault, but it kinda is"... I Love this statement❤ Sooooo very true 👍

Great PSA ! Common since seems to be use by less people more and more everyday . So they needed that !

"you can get parts at any liquor store" LOVE IT!

Rory is a blast haha good for laughs and knowledge and then laughs again

Looking forward to seeing how these projects come together. I appreciate your builds having sentimental value to you. I could really tell that with Trail Mater interviews you've done. It makes the vehicle so much more than just a tool.

Love the blooper outtake! And once again we wait for some cool builds, fall can get here anytime soon, leaving this heat behind!

"I'm not doing it to spark controversy. That's just a bonus." Two birds with one stone!

I love the comments about responsibility. It’s so true. Thanks for sharing the recovery. Great views.

Rory, Rory, this is the voice from above………..take the right, don’t worry about the cliff, …….. thanks, be safe!!!

The best quote "ever the road never gets better

If the trail videos were not so interesting I'd still watch for the humor! Sneezers, etc 🤣. I'm with Mike... Whitewash is my favorite...so far. Beautiful country!!

Thanks for encouraging conscious, cognitive thought. (Especially about the news.)👍👍

Sounds like some cool projects with some well thought out ideas for them to work well. Can’t wait to watch

Sharing your years of experience is a great gift to all who view. 👍

That ending outtakes are the best! Keep up the great work!

I have always had a small block Chevy. Never had a problem. I'm running one in my 69 blazer. I have 32 barnum I'm going to put a small block Chevy in it. Love the Chanel keep up the good work. 👍

I love all the poking and ribbing about the different wreckers their all awesome and I am enjoying the ride

Haven’t heard one of your diatribes in a while. Glad to hear it. Thanks for the update on the projects.

Amazing how the 1st guy bought a pickup to carry his spare tire! 😉😉

@8:56 speaking about GPS- Youi have to combine GPS with COMMON SENSE when in remote areas. I live in South Africa, got lost in the Northern Cape Province between 2 towns, approximately 220 kilometers from each other on dirt roads. I had GPS, which took me on a wild goose chase, BUT my common sense left me and with hindsight the alarm bells were there from when I started going wrong, but I ignored it. I got lost for 3 hours, had a flat at 09:00 in the morning and had to change the tire with the temperature at 30 degrees Celsius at 09:00. Like Rory said, very politely, do not let GPS override your common sense. Go explore and God bless.

ENCORE ! MORE, M O R E ! Que applause ! Excellent video ! Truly life saving info and advice surrounding the GPS debacle.. from a seasoned true professional who clearly knows the dangers that unfortunately exist out there. Kudos to you Rory ! Thanks for the project updates, very interesting ! And To Justin your editor... your creativity is killing it ! I love the " surprise" outakes at the very end of each video. Big time fan of Trail Mater channel.

"It never gets better." True that. I always appreciate your PSAs.

Great video Rory and Mike! Lots of ideas for wreckers for Rory and Robby's wreckers!

You make me laugh. I really apprieaciate YOUR explainations, and thoughts on how things SHOULD BE. Many thanks .

Beautiful landscape 👍🏾👍🏾 Rory always brings the right rig for the job at hand

Ah yes, the voices. You have a good point with people and their GPS apps. Pretty crazy what voices they will follow. That 6x6 is going to be very cool. Great idea. As far as that 350 goes, It's been a go to motor for decades for good reason. Looks like some cool stuff coming.

RE: 6x6. Years ago I owned a ramp truck with tandem leave spring rears as you describe. That truck steered horribly loaded. Always wanted to go straight. I’m sure you have a plan to resolve that but your design reminded me of days gone by. All good times for sure! Thanks for all the videos you create!

RESPONSIBILITY......EXACTLY. Im glad SOMEBODY remembers what thats about. Lookin forward to the new projects. 👍

Can't wait to see the 6x6. Lets get started...I enjoy all your video. Thanks Rory and Crew

6WD, got my attention. Can’t wait for the build to begin.

Finally get a chance to sit back for a few minutes and Bam! You and Casey each got me a video to escape into for R&R! 🥳👍✔️

Very good advice for GPS. We have a few roads here in Ohio that the GPS will take you down a road that will require hefty recovery if you go down those roads. We have some people at work that found themselves in work vans stuck on these roads and had a farmer or two with tractors that recovered them.

Looking forward to both builds. I can only watch so many recoveries. Builds keep me coming back

Can't wait to see you build it and see how it does when you're done

I'm right there with you on the V10's. Worked for a company that had purchased a few in their bucket trucks. I know personally that 2 of those trucks had the motors replaced 3 times each before reaching 120k miles. I would never run one in anything!! Love the idea of your new project!! Will be eagerly waiting to watch it unfold!!

That was well stated. So many people don't want to accept responsibility when something bad happens. Good message.

Both builds are going to be great .looking forward to seeing more. Keep em coming Rory.

You do an awesome job, and I get a kick out of you guys. You're hilarious

Don't know if it is a conscious effort on your part, or if it's just luck, but you manage to frame the most fantastic "thunderhead over the mountain peak shots" I've ever seen! Love to go along with your trips via video! KUDOS!

Hi Rory, I cant wait to see what you do with Robbys tow truck and I’m also very intrigued about this 6x6 project, thanks Rory

The best thing about you talking is that you are so real!!!

@ 6:27 is a pretty amazing view of that area’s natural desert beauty. 👍

We built a 400 small block Chevy and ditched the 400 rods in favor of a Scat rotating assembly with longer rods. With ported Dart heads and a mild performance cam, this would produce 515 lb ft of torque with 400ish HP, which would pull a medium weight wrecker around just fine. It's no big block but will get the job done. Don't worry about what everyone says. Build it the way you build it.

I love the thought process, even when I don't agree, I love the thought process!

The old green dodge is still around. Sweet.

Another excellent 'natural ' upload . Flowing interesting and real content . No contrived gimmics -real blokes doing a proper job . Thanks for upload . Jonny UK

The 6x6 idea reminds me of the T-rex 6x6 concept back in the day. they used 2 NP205s first was married to the trans and the second drove the 2 rear axles. Cant wait to see how this evolves.

Matt often says the same things about people getting upset. At the end of the day, you are providing entertainment through your youtube channel and a service through your business. Who cares what others think. You build your stuff the way you want to. In the end, you are the one working on it when it breaks down.

Really enjoy the common sense, well explained build set-ups and old school proven styles.

Mr Irish- you are a Madman... Love your job living through your eyes and soul... keep up the the hard work, cuz we Know it "Aint"- ezee peezee , lemon squeezeee.. 🤘

That old wrecker build is going to be sweet!

The old 283 Chevy engine was my favorite forever, then 350 .you could use them in anything. Hope Robbie realizes what he's getting from you!

Looking forward to your new wrecker project, fabbing on the fly is the way to learn.

Ready to see you get started on Robby's build!!! Cup of coffee and Trail Mater, Yea!!

Another awesome video, throwing some shade at Matt🤣

I can’t weight to see some come together!!! They are going to be amazing I’m sure!!! Awesome video buddy and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

Ah yes the infallible GPS... Just follow it people, its so entertaining watching Rory come get you out... I'd love to be able to see inside Rory's head, not head... Imagination! So many things melding together... I like the blooper reel at the end too, there must be so many outtakes 😂😂

Can't wait to see wat the Voices in ur head tell u wat to build !! 🤔 Yrs . Down the trail could be a flying mater 👍👍 !! Thanks for ur thought""ss 😊

👍6X6 awesomeness That was my guess...gonna really enjoy that build.

I’m a retired truck driver and I resisted gps until my wife bought me one, then never with out some form of it. I however always had my map aswell and checked my days route before starting my day, then commonsense is the most important rule. Oh and for high vehicles. That height restriction sign is there for a purpose read it and if you don’t know your height, turn around. Enough preaching to the masses. I realized that I had a smile on my face the entire length of this video. Maybe I do on all your videos just didn’t realize it. The explanation of your 6x6 build and why each component will be this way plus Robbie’s build will be amazing.

It all sounds wonderful can't wait to done did dider done

Nice one Rory/Mike, easy recovery for you pro's. Oh, I am so excited we are actually going to get to see you build something. The flatbed/wrecker if I heard right sounds good and also Robbie’s wrecker, now that one is special. It has the old-fashioned look, and, in your hands, it will only turn out amazing, I am looking forward to both builds. I like your mix, trail and sand recoveries along with rock crawling ones and the added bonus of seeing you and your crew doing cool stuff in your workshop. What more can one ask? Stay safe and stay awesome.

I LOVE the comments on “RESPONSIBILITY”, the brand name on a motor that works and you could get parts at a “liquor store” hahaha, and the ending just because the phone/iPad “tells you something” it does not mean you have to listen NOR believe it!!! But the best part, was about the truck that your family has passed back-and-forth, means something to you, and that after 593K miles it works great!!! AND, I wonder why that might be, with an ace that can do anything with a piece of metal in the family! Great video, thanks a ton, love your comaradery!!!! FUN! Wisconsin
