AA Wrecker & Recovery With Robby Layton
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Robby brought over the old Model AA tow truck we are going to be building for him. While he was here we got a recovery call for a sxs at the escalator on Hells Revenge Trail. First we had to repair Trailmater from a broken airbag mount the night before. Thank you everyone for the support and watching.

Thank you so much this has happened with Matt's off road recovery before. Again thank you. 😊
unfortunately the comment section spam-plague has become quite pervasive across youtube.
😉👍🦅🇺🇸😎
What, you mean I haven't won the tread lightly Jeep and all I had to pay 2 grand for shipping, DANG
if the reply leads with "message me on Telegram" IT IS A SCAM; I was headed back to comment section to report as spam after receiving a "notice". good to see Rory on top of this.
This guy has what everyone needs - common sense. It is sorely lacking these days!
Yes, Rory is old school, he knows what common sense is and he is also what is known as the "mother of invention".
Amen, this world definitely could use a lot more common sense rather than the stupidity and the so called know it all's
without question
He lit his shirt on fire (twice - at least once intentionally) with a grinder. I'm not ready to award him a common sense award.
One of the most level-headed guys on UA-cam.
I love the whole band of friends...Matt, Robby, Hollie, Paul, Casey etc... But Rory is the most badass of them all !
Keep on entertaining us man !
He has the Trophy Truck for sure.
Agreed!
True.
For sure!
Can spend a few hours of the day watching them all, esp all the different footage from the Easter run.
Rigs lined up to run the obstacle and you go thru pulling a trailer - Priceless!!!!!! The extra camera work is great, you get a real feel for these elevations/slopes and even more scenery to admire.
I think this video showed really well the thought process behind the design of the trailer and wrecker. Robby was taking notes I am sure. Cheers Rory.
I want to hear what the tourists say when they see Trailmater come in towing a trailer and going through the course and out driving them all.
Trooperandcooper Ale-----They tip their hats , just like the rest of us . Even in Moab , with all its rock crawlers , and , a number of rescue companies , Rory Irish stands out .
Rory, you are all about Practical, never mind pretty. Considering what you do, this is so practical. Love redundancy as failure is a constant companion in off-roading. Great video, good to see Robby there and excited about that build.
LoL... At 4:10 Robbie is admiring the trail mater and see what ideas he can use on his tow truck...
ROBBIE, DON'T WORRY, YOUR AWESOME TOW TRUCK IS IN GOOD HANDS...!!!!
lol i was just about to say the same
That was some of the best camera work to show the steepness of the trails that I have seen
Redundancy: also why Rory wears two shirts. If one catches on fire, he's still got a second!
Good one💥🇺🇸
Robby will need some lessons from Rory for sure. It is amazing how everyone on the recovery team has a big smile on their face.
Be safe and drive with care up there.
This is a great look at how the broken front end is supported by the adjustable center plate. The truck snd trailer are truly bespoke masterpieces.
Robby, the tow truck just oozes character from all of its pores! What a great find!
When someone says "you should do this this way" just remind them that your rig is still running and towing them!
I really admire the calm, level headed approach that Rory, Matt, Paul, Robbie, and Casey have to these recoveries. No yelling, no belittleing. It says a lot about this group.
Looking forward to seeing the build, and Rory teaching Robbie how to do the trail recoveries...
What a great idea for the center support, another way for safe transport. Really great footage of steep inclines that you drive on. It gives a good perspective of how hard the truck has to work. Thanks for sharing.
I suggest a 70s Ford straight 6 - borgwarner 4spd with an NP 205 and an Atlas splitter - old school style .. super easy to work on and just a work horse .. has the most torque and reliability of any ford made and it’d fit nice in that Ford engine compartment .. throw some 4.88s with air lockers set up on some 38s .. won’t be a speed Demon but it’ll get the job done.
great video Rory .. keep them coming.
yup. my. wheeler runs a similar drivetrain. 300/6 4bbl. dual efi ex manifolds, 4spd np435, 203/205 doubler, 4.11s on 38s.
I'd go with a later fuel injected 4.9 I-6, but yes!
lol, Matt is building a tow truck, Paul is building a tow truck, Robby is getting Rory to build him a tow truck, and Rory already has Trail mater. It's going to be fun watching all these builds, and seeing them together once they're done.
Love that V8 rumble that TrailMater makes. Good ride along Robby. He just stayed in the back ground and did as he was told.
Robby speaks when he has the stage, otherwise he’s there to help and learn. Rory is a good guy to learn from…he has so much patience.
Looking under the trail mater shows Rory's genius any weak points are reinforced and covered. Matt's off road is more entertaining but if I got stuck I'd call Rory.
Trailmater is a beast. Walking up those hills like a walk in the park. And then Rory taking the line of need as he just knows!
Rory you are a man’s man! Don’t care if your shirt is on fire 🔥 don’t care about the shoes! Just get the job done!! Much love and respect! 💯👊🏽👊🏽✌🏾💨
REDUNDANCY IS THE WORD Rory lives by. Aircraft are redundant and so is Rorys wrecker. You da man Rory. 😎🤗
It's just so good seeing that TrailMater has everything on board for whatever is needed and that Rory is just so easy going about whatever comes up. so fun to watch and two thumbs up to you Rory and all the gang for what you guys do. well done and keep on recoverin' .....
I'm just amazed at the knowledge Rory has on repairs and recovering vehicles. This guy is just awesome !
Rory knows these trails like the back of his hand. He even takes his own custom line down the trail in order to keep the boom from damaging the hood of the Razor.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Maybe an F250 4x4 with the old cab? Your choice of engine of course. Nice recovery, I'm always hugely impressed with the Rory and trailmater combination - casually drives a tow-truck and trailer along the trails that break many others, recovers them and drives back out - the stuff legends are made of.
Thanks + It was Robby Layton's tow truck that sent me here.
I could listen to your tips and tricks the whole day. Everything makes sense! Great episode, Rory!
You guys are having too much fun 😎 the shirt catching on fire 🤣
Great job! Do miss Rory’s from the cab view and comments too! Must be amazing to see that big ole tow truck and trailer climb those obstacles! You could sell tickets!
The new tow truck definitely needs the new 7.3 Ford crate motor. It is amazing, can't wait to see it completed
This is the most awesome rig in all of UA-cam and it has an awesome operator!
The King of Moab ! The videos are the best in recovery. Can't wait to see what you do with Robby's truck.
Understand why there is strong opinions about Fords. Another opinion to add here; ran the 1972’ish 351 C.I.D. Cleveland engine for many years in a 1965 4X4 3/4 ton, ran in the sand fine on 34’s. It was durable and impressive for a dish-piston smog-era engine. (Not big on power; stock, but toss a higher CFM carb on-top a flowing intake manifold, livened it up noticeably. Unable to claim this type of impressiveness with a 1983 351 “M”., 4X4, but it survived some heavy throttle off road trailer-towing use. Had an ‘06 - 5.7-liter, 4X4, was poky, only 13 MPG, but no failures. Oil changes often, are essential for longer term durability. Just an opinion here, not recommending any brand, since brand differences are less today.
Hey Rory // Robby & ALL the CREWS !!! Great job of fixing ""MATER"" & Getting the recovery done with NO damage to anyone except Rory setting himself on fire !! 🙃🙂😊🤔😜🤪 Have ""FUN"" in the ""SUN "" while you can !!! 😀😄🤠😎😮👍👍👍👍👍
My dad who passed 11 years ago would not be in UA-cam or watch UA-cam but if I showed him tater Fab rats and Matt's off-road he would be a subscriber he would be waiting every Sunday Tuesday Thursday to watch. You on the other hand definitely remind me the most of my dad my dad could build anything. Give him some scrap metal and a welder and ask him what to build and he will build it. He never paid professionals to do anything we always did everything electrical plumbing excavating framing painting whatever we did it all and now that's what I do for a living still not much of a welder but I can weld I grew up grinding my dad's welds LOL
I love the way that trailer works without suspension.
I love it: All the people at the start of the trail getting ready to test their off-road vehicle and along comes this guy with a tow truck that looks fresh off the Mad Max movie set towing a trailer. They even walked over to watch you start the trail. You do the trail and come out with a Polaris on the trailer. Good work by someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks.
That's what I like, even big kids can play well together. Seriously, great video.
Safety gear can extend your ability to have fun. Please consider it. We enjoy watching you guys.
Can totally tell the difference with the additional camera work. Additional video means more choices during editing, makes it easier to tell the story. Also allows Rory to do his thing, living in the moment and just be captured doing it. Cool to see different angles and more perspectives of what's going on. Keep up the great work.
Same here, Mike makes a good hand with the recovery and video work, you can tell the difference as you noted. Plus the new gopro with good audio🇺🇸
I also am looking forward to Robby's build!
Did you see Robby while you where welding the air bag mount?? he was looking at trail matter and you could see it on his face "I want one of those and one of those........" 🤣 hes making plans for that build.
Cant wait.
And nice recovery I love your channel
He was checking it out wasn't he😎
Robby's wrecker is going to be a great project!!!
I had a 95 F150 with a basic 302.. 5 spd 4x4.. It was a monster once you put it in 4 wheel low. But it was pretty gutless on the highway when pulling a big tool trailer. But I did run it past 320k miles before it finally spun a bearing. So I wouldn't call it "un-reliable". That thing never stopped running
Chevy guys wont talk about 302 or the 300 inline 6..... All engines in the 80s and 90s were gutless at 200-250hp.
I have a '94 F-150 4x4 short bed single cab with a 5.8 (351) that's just shy of 400K. Still runs great. The only engine repairs I have done are a timing chain, rear main seal and oil pan gasket. And yes I also own a Chevy C10!
@@ponypwr lmfao as a chevy guy I can tell you the only reason I run 94 & older chevy trucks is cause where I live in the rust belt you can buy 5 88-94 chevys for the price of one 96 & older ford pickup that needs 5 grand or more worth of work, & if you can find one that that the frame isnt swiss cheese. One of the trucks on the top of my list to own is a 96 or older ford truck with a 300 6 with a 5 speed 4x4. Too bad ford stopped building work trucks in 96 when they started stuffing the boat anchor that is the 5.4 Triton in everything
I'm a chevy guy and I have a family member who loves fords but stock for stock fords have had more issues. Like electric or hydraulic more so then engine failure. Not to mention all the little issues they have as far part interchangeably.
@@KoltFin Yeah.. Chevy's are better for projects-- that's for sure. I've had good luck with Fords though. a 95 F150 5spd 4x4 that went to 320k miles.. and for the past 8 years, I've driven a stock 2002 F350 7.3L Diesel 6spd 4x4, which is already past 330k miles and still going very strong. I don't think this diesel will ever die. lol.. It can still pull an overloaded 5th wheel trailer up a mountain and not ever care that anything is back there.
Trail Mater is a Beast! Always love to watch her and Rory in action!!
Dude I can't even try to lie, Trail Mator is a savage you went up something most people wouldn't attempt, and you do it with a freaking Trailor!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely a LEGEND!!!!!!
That amazes me too. Most people driving the trails around Moab: "This is the coolest, most challenging thing I've ever done!" Rory on the same trails in a dually, with a trailer: "Just another day at work..." He does make it look easy, but I suspect making it look that easy takes a lot of experience.
Trail Mater is one amazing, well engineered rig. It’s like the Swiss Army Knife of off-road wreckers. Robby’s going to get a great build!
I am glad you're going to show more shop builds.
Lovin the banter and how you explain what you are doing...
Robbies project will be awesome to follow. can't wait to see it in operation.
Rory , your videos keep getting better, your voice matters.
Love the ancient wrecker..and Rory driving up the bum crack of the rocks with a trailer like its nothing....
clever and practical, Rory "THE ONE 🔧 WRENCH MAN" 😊
Huge fan of your show Rory. I was disappointed in your comment about Robby's AA definitely getting a different engine...not a Ford... in other words. You were saying a few shows back about the hate about Jeep is better than Toyo than Subaru than whatever and that it was stupid, then you go and say it.
I'm 66 years old and have driven Ford's my entire driving life and have never been left on the side of the road by a Ford. That includes a few years of off-roading as well. I tow heavy with mine, go to town, you name it, that's how I've driven mine...not a mall traveler. Ford makes awesome engines as well. They all have junk engines too. Hopefully Robby does it justice and builds a Ford to put in it.
This channel just keeps better and better.
👉Rory, Every time I watch a video of yours, you make fixing things and climbing up boulders as easy and smooth as a ride in a cadillac! Love seeing the suspension move over the rocks. Thank you for not, I repeat thank you for not adding crappy music to the videos, its better to hear the truck, engine, and tires!Mike and Shawn you both freking rock too! Great camera work and great crew you both are! Scott☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Everybody watching. with amazement going up that rock crawl! Badass tow truck !
The understanding of stress put on rig and trailer making it work for recovery instead of against recovery. Is gained through experience by years of this kind of work. Well done
Rory, I love that all of your equipment is purpose built, from the belt and suspenders of Trail Mater's suspension, to the tube frame on the trailer, nothing is by accident and it has a purpose 👍👍
That truck is a BEAST! And Rory's driving skills is the next level. I enjoy watching.
I love that trail mater, the ultimate go anywhere, do anything wrecker straight out of the Mad Max films and Rory has got to be the best " Fix it on the spot " recovery man out there. Rory definitely deserves to be at the top of the list of the group now forming the recovery/repair on UA-cam.
More great camera shots, you make those jobs look easy, I was watching Roby's face when is seen all that you do, GREAT JOB!
Hahaha the part where Robby is in the background just daydreaming 😂. Great video! Can’t wait to see the aa build!
Another Awesome Ride Along !!! Thx Guys 😎👍
Your skills bust me up!! BIG TIME! People bust their guts just trying to drive their rigs up the things you pull your truck and trailer through with ease. KUDOS and then back with their vehicles on it.
It is for sure you're the man to match.
I like the extra staff! So much more footage and they ask you to explain your activities. You do so many interesting things that not sharing it would be crime against humanity. You might be bored of going to the same old spot for side by sides but we all love it! Thank you.
Love the tow truck has everything, looks like a Mad Max recovery vehicle.
Setting yourself on fire for your viewer's enjoyment..... Rory, you're the best!
Really looking forward to you working on the model A, when youre done it will be the coolest tow truck ever 👍
Maybe not cooler than Trail Mater but will definitely be a terrific rig when finished. It's already a piece of artful Americana and can't wait to see its modern iteration take shape!!
Man I’m 2 minutes in and I can already tell I’ve been missing this channel in my life!
Another great video... and a Beautiful Moab Day!
Rory you are the best to train Robbie on how to do off road recoveries ! Especially with the type of toe truck that you are going to design for him, can hardly wait until it's completed and done! 😁
Another good job recovering a side by side with the trailer and Mater 👍 can't wait to see what happens with Robbie's tow truck.
so glad you got a camera guy most the time really enjoy your channel your humor is badass and on point 👏
Just incredible Rory! Great video!
They can build tow rigs all day long but the years of experience, critical thinking, and common sense makes the difference. Rory has the touch and he has the nerve.
Video scenery was beautiful...everybody pitching in.....having fun...at work in your office!! Many TXs...Wisconsin
Robby's new really old tow truck 😻 is in good hands with Rory to give it a new tow truck 🤠 Life
Good recovery and Mike did good job with the video. That drop hitch for the jack is brilliant.
You guys are having the time of your life while rescuing other individuals and send the country scenery as well as enjoying life itself well done
Looking forward to Robby new toy that Rory going to build. Thanks for sharing Rory-keep up the good work my friend and be safe out there...GB!
Another good job thanks for sharing 👍😀
Looking forward to Robby’s tow truck build.
A+ for the videography. Awesome
Rory not sure if you know this but Robby is in love with trail mater and hillbilly is to. When it done the dump truck ,skid steer, ram recovery without chains was the day it stole their hearts.
Class is in session, Rory instructing with common sense .. outstanding Video work too ! Will be real cool to see what the AA Tow comes out as..:)
Thanks for sharing sir, much appreciated! What a great way to enjoy a day out~
I like your thoughts on redundancy, Rory. It's good for everything, but especially for a business like yours, where you're out in the middle of nowhere, frequently alone, and absolutely can't afford to not be able to get out. Good retrieval, and Roby's tow truck is going to prove interesting.
Wonderful video. I am having fun going through some videos that I have missed. Loved the nonchalant fiery T shirt Rory!
Love all of these old vehicles that are still around.
Cool to see a Model AA as a recovery truck.
Great video as usual Cheers Rory.
I love this. Every time I watch it I notice something new. Robbie’s channel is awesome. I like seeing all of you guys working together, it’s like a party to me. All my favorites together in one video even though y’all are so many miles away from each other. God bless
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🏆🏆🏆🏆
Cool angle of the beast of burden from the trailer cam.
Another great video Rory and crew. Thanks for the explanation of your work. Always great to hear. You can see Robby watching and learning and I’m sure looking at the cool tools on Trail Mater. Practicality and common sense is what makes Rory successful at what he does. Always have a backup for the backup. Looking forward to Robbie’s build. Great camera work guys. Looking forward to the next video.
Hello sir.
I just watch the episode kanes creek side by side. And listen to you rant a long rant about how some guy made you made... I must say it was very entertaining 😄 you have taught us that slow and steady get the job done. You taught us what to do and not to do. I will keep watching because you put a smile 😃 on are face. Please keep up the good work.
Congrats M on getting the sxs out and tow to the shop. lv the view and videos.
Another great episode of the Rory Layton Show!
Thanks for sharing! Cool start on the tow truck and great recovery.
Love the sound of Trail M8ter breathing…. ❤️🇷🇴
I do appreciate you explaining how and why you do things and the reasons why the wrecker is set up the way it is. Lot to learn through your experiences. This was a great recovery to watch.
