We caught up with RU-vid celeb Rory Irish of Trail Mater fame at Easter Jeep Safari 2023 in Moab, Utah. We were with this dynamic duo three years ago when Rory was trying to figure out the RU-vid thing. How is he doing now? Well, the world loves this Moab native.
Join Rory as he shares tales of how he ended up with Trail Mater, his work with RU-vid royalty such as Matt’s Off Road Recover, Diesel Brothers ( HeavyDSparks ), Fab Rats, and Robby Layton. These hooligans have become referred to as the "Utah RU-vid Mafia" and they continue to entertain the world each week with crazy fab tricks, wild recoveries, and all-around shenanigans. Rory also shares his experience at the Off Road Wrecker Games in Sand Hollow. Did he win? Well, you’ll need to get that one from the King of Moab himself.
We had a blast with Rory and his Trail Mater Wrecker...and looking forward to the next time.
Enjoy!

Awesome interview!

Hey Matt, thanks for the good words. Sorry I wasn't able to hook up with you after EJS. Heading to Mexico next week and had too much on my plate. C-

I came here from lite Brite! I seen Sam spot Matt on that trail! Most viewed! Then this fer came along! 45 minutes of the most unnecessary front digs ever! I am so proud you both

@MaxNafeHorsemanship Год назад

I enjoy all things "Rory". Just watched a Trailmater vid when this showed up, so... Time well spent

@mr_mongo7228 Год назад

Great interview and when I first got into RU-vid I found Matt’s Off Road Recovery I spotted Rorys channel and he was basically shooting with one camera and I watched his channel grow. He was pulling off some the most radical rescues I became obsessed with watching his work.

@Gone_Gpn Год назад

Hey Mr. Mongo, Collard here. Three years ago I was cracking up when I put the camera on Rory and asked for comments and he said, "I don't do that..."

I remember Rory mentioning a couple times working in the oil industry, and always figured his gin pole style boom setup was inspired by bed trucks. Glad to hear more background on that, those are awesome machines!

The first time I saw Trail-Mater I thought it looked like an escapee from Mad Max, but then I realised how capable it is and how skillful Rory is with it. Every walkaround shows a few more details of the intelligent thought and evolution that has gone into it. A great interview, thank you.

@Gone_Gpn Год назад

Road Warrior, exactly

@DrRob-rt2lf Год назад

It’s been said before and I’ll say it again…. Rory seems to not only be a very well liked man in the off-road community but even you can see it through his channel he’s always joking seems to be very easy going and overall just a good hearted person! You see it most when the little one is with him! As Big and intimidating as Rory may seem when his little girl is around he’s softer than a feather! Let’s us know he ain’t all piss and vinegar like he wants us to believe lol

Being a military mechanic at one tyme that used a VTR, a M88, and the five ton Wrecker for recovering tanks, tracks, and wheeled vehicles bring back memories. We used a tow bar to stabilize the load even when the boom was in use. Thanks Utah crew for the lessons.

I enjoyed this video thank you. Rory has gone from very shy talking on camera to being able to cope and all the time is improving. We love what and how he does things, and he is very humble as a person overall. There are loads of things which make Rory likeable, just the little things like he includes his daughter in his life, and she seems to love being on a trail with him. Also, his partner often comes along in her vehicle. The way he Shaun and Mike all inter react causes fun and laughter and what’s not to like about that. They also work together as a well oiled team. There are so many other reasons why he is so popular. Stay safe until next time.

Rory, Matt, Paul, and Robby and everyone else in that inner circle get the concept of "A rising tide lifts all ships." 9:22 that comment is ironic because in Cars 2 Mater talks about how his dents are valuable because each one is a memory made with friends.
