Just so everyone knows. The 4 wheel drive was working. However without both front shafts(we removed the broken one) the LOCKERS wouldn't engage because of a damaged ABS sensor so no power would go to the passenger front. That was why it was technically in 2 wheel drive. The front driveline was spinning, but it had nowhere to go missing one of the front axle shafts.

What on earth was that guy thinking driving his overland Gladiator rock crawler into Pritchett Canyon !!! Was he on some kind of Divorce freedom trip or something??!! And on the day of flash floods. Ohhh wait a minute…..I’m the that guy 😂 And that’s my Truck This experience humbled me BIG TIME After 20 years wheeling I took it to the limit . And got my ass handed to me that day. Thanks To Rory I continued my Bucket list trip out to Colorado. Many thanks to you guys and Paul at Bent Fab for connecting me with you Rory.
These monsoon microburst storms can be terrifying, especially in a boat on Lake Powell or in a canyon. Rory and Shawn stay calm, focused, ride out the rain and complete the recovery in style. Total pros. Kudos!
Terrifying? Because of the flooding possibility? Sorry I live in SWFL. It rains like this all the time. The only thing that keeps us out of the rain is lightning
@@mikeworkman3593 Wind and water Mike. 100 mph winds, white caps, lightening, swamped boats, flash floods with raging torrents scouring the canyons etc. Think small scale hurricane from out of the blue. Kind of like a tornado. Terrifying at times, especially for the uninitiated.
@@thedave513 100mph winds? Where? I live in a subtropical environment where it storms everyday and you'll never see 100mph winds without a hurricane, which you know it's coming. And I've been on a boat plenty of times in storms with winds, I've never been scared of it. You'll know when something bad is going to happen, they give out small craft advisories, so the chance that you get caught on the water in something scary should be nill
@@dustinwannamaker6705 Well I'm going by what was filmed. Just looked like rain to me where they were at. The canyon should stop the winds. Anyways we always work in the rain, never seen anyone stop working like that.
@@mikeworkman3593 I think he was referring to what looked like the customer was not accelerating while Rory was trying to pull him up the hill. It wasn't the customer, it was the jeep that was in "limp" mode that was the problem.
@@gvillejeep Exactly. The axle shaft was missing and it messed up the ECM. Also, the guy probably couldn't hear half the time, wonder why they don't use those headphones? Maybe they weren't charged up
@@mikeworkman3593 you're welcome to come out and show us how it's done. And this isn't me being butt hurt or not taking criticism. This is me saying you want to critisze how I do something come stand next to me and do the same job. Then I'll listen.
It looked like it went pretty well to me all things considered. Two people who have never worked together and one who has likely never been involved in that level of recovery are going to have some issues with communication and understanding of what needs to happen and what to expect. The customer looked like he did well.
3 years ago I got into the offroad community with friends that knew what they were doing. We had a Pre-Moab meeting 6 months before the trip. Most had been there more than once. When it came to scheduling trail days Pritchett was the 1st day. The leader without hesitation pointed at me and said "you're not doing Pritchett". Didn't hurt my feelings at all. He knew my skill level and so did I. Very important not to get in above your head. I have made huge strides since then and value good advise.
Was the "Leader" of the group concerned about your rig or your experience level or both? I hope you were able to join them on the rest of the adventures. Can't learn if you don't try.
@@equals-kl9hm Probably both. There's a difference between letting someone learn and throwing them into the fire. I agree that you can't learn if you don't try but it's a moot point if the rig is totaled and loss of life is much more serious than that. Plenty of people have died trusting cheap bolt in cages thinking they'll never roll. Then they roll on a trail with shit spotters and a loss of life occurs. That's not how responsible people wheel and teach those who don't know what to do or how to pick lines.
I remember those storms. It's more like a solid sheet of water coming down than raindrops. Wild. Really interesting to watch as the waterfalls formed. This was an excellent real life demo of what to do and not to do in these storms. Great vid.
We get that here, but it's less sudden and builds up slower. And not as much washes out because it drains better; if it can't deal with a week of constant heavy rain, it has no business existing in britain anyway.
No idea how that guy expected to do Pritchett in that thing. Know your rig, know your gear and know your experience level and evaluate before doing something stupid. Enough internet bashing - Glad the guy was able to call for help, glad Rory was able to help. Nobody got hurt. It was a learning experience. Hopefully future adventures are safer and more successful.
The guy was in a place above his skill level. all that cool guy “gear” strapped to the jeep without extra parts and tools. His off-road skills and mechanic abilities actually equals the amount of useful accessories he has. But that jeep with a real drivef and a winch can go through there. Tons of them have.
Legit question---- no BS --- has a stock Rubicon of any description actually made it through Pritchett without breaking something? I suspect it's possible, I also suspect many tales of people running that canyon represent their only fabrication skills....
How do you know what his skill level is? So many episodes on here where they drive all kind of shit in there. The 4WD was broken, that's why he need help
Team trailmater is incredible. In a wash or canyon is the last place you want to be in the desert during a monsoon burst. This shows to go you, know your skill level, know the ground, know your vehicle and know the weather.
people always underestimate just how powerful water is in the desert, everything you see, the canyon itself, is because of water! if it's raining be where the water cant get to, good call Rory
Looks like this coulda been nasty! Smart finding dry, high ground. (Did ya grab the snacks?). Got an extra chuckle when Shawn was stacking, (15:40) Wiley closed its own door! Great work! Thanx !
Impresive driving to Rory. People don't know how much experience it takes to know where his tires are and the towed vehicles tires are in relation to bumps, rocks, clift, and when NOT to give gas, and when to. So stuff doesn't get broken.
Glad everyone was safe. Great job guys. Flash floods are no joke. Got to admit though, Rory taking shelter in the ONE spot where it drips, that was a little funny. Been there, done that.
I'm in the high desert of AZ and I know the dangers of being in the canyons and washes during monsoon season. Good show Rory and crew for staying safe and getting the work done.
What part of when u get towed that u see Rory having a hard time that u have to be told to give it sum gas to help 😅😅 great job guys pretty impressive weather and weight of that jeep vs the buggy!!!
What a job, wet, in the wilderness, in want of the right tool. Amazingly done, in mitten of a raging storm, like it was just another Wednesday afternoon at the office…
Wow, that was an amazing rescue. Rory is the man to get you out of a tough spot. Rain adds another major factor that one must watch out for. Mother Nature will always prevail unless a knowledgeable crew gets in her way. I totally enjoyed the video. Please keep them coming. Thanks
That little water fall getting blown back up looked like smoke . It still amazes me that the water doesn't soke into the ground. It flows across the top for miles , even snow melt can make a stream for months across the desert
Oh wow what a trail repair and recovery by Shawn and Rory from this dry creek bed and then the storm came and changed their plans so they found cover in the rocks mostly out of the rain. Mike brought out the socket to get the tire off the Jeep so they could repair the broken axle then the job of pulling the Jeep with now four wheel drive out of the valley. Kudos to the Trail Mater Team for doing the next to impossible on this recovery!
@@trailmater I watch everyone of your vids, and all the other channels, but you guys are my favs out of the Utah off road channels. You guys don't try to be so family friendly lol, just act yourselves lol
this was by far the most beautiful episode you guys have to date-that clip where you're pointing at the waterfalls that are just starting? I feel like a unicorn was about to step out
Your positive attitude and know-how are the reasons I watch your channel. You are intellectual engineers. You have skills and know how to adapt. Thank You!
that buggy is just a work of art watching it pull. The centre of gravity with the wheelbase is just perfect. I love how instead of the front end getting light it just drops down and keeps pulling. Just watching the front and back start to squat and it just seems to pull even harder since the centre of gravity is getting lower. It acts like a wing on a sports car, the harder it pulls, the more it drives itself into the ground like the force of the wind pushing the sports car into the ground. I have only the videos to watch and my personal observation is the only thing trailmater has over the buggy in flat towing is weight. Trailmater is an amazing tow truck in its element which is recovery. It is so hard to explain this is words but I love watching that buggy pull. Yes I am a little weird oh well.
Great content, though I suspect that there was more anxiety involved than shown. I must comment Shaun on his ability to put forward a very professional appearance and manner of apparel, though Mike was guarding the goods during this episode. Kudo Gentlemen. Rory runs a tight, top notch operation.
I’m glad that you and your team are ready to do a Trail Repair in any situation. Also, how calm you guys work is amazing. When most would be freaking out. 💪🏼 👍🏼
That was just nutz!!! Glad everybody was safe and got the patient recovered! Incredible views of your neck of the woods and really appreciate getting to tag along. Peace, until next time Gentleman!!!
Best episode since you took Mater snorkeling 😂. For me someone who will never experience this stuff sure is cool watch the sketchiness yall make look easy. God Bless
I don't know if that's the hardest recovery that you have had, but it sure was loaded down with a bunch of tedious work that needed to be done for the recovery to be successful. I like that you showed flood damage in several places. Sometimes folks think because it rained here that there won't be flood damage in other places. Rain in the desert is nothing to take for granted, or to play with. Rain in the desert is a serious matter.
Love these technical recoveries. This one has everything from great scenery to a great trail and everything else we associate with a Trail Mater recovery. I would have liked to see more of the trail riding. Some times a short video suffices; this one could have gone for a long time because it seemed to be in that "zone" of great entertainment. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the editing was perfect to nail the story. However, trails like that, with the added suspense of the weather, and you want to see every detail of the trail and the choice of paths and the triumph of these amazing machines in the hands of experts.
Guys - this is an awesome clip: a really great example of a storm and why you dont get stuck in a ravine! And all credit for the double action commentary: Mike and Colt et al in the office and Rory and Shawn doing the hard yards in the thick off it: great video - very exciting and a great rescue :)
It's weird seeing you guys without what seemingly looks like unreal traction on those rocks like normal. Wild how the water doesn't just go in the ground anywhere, it just sits there.
A few weeks ago we drove from Pennsylvania all the way out to Moab and got to stop by the shop after a day of wheeling. Rory and the crew could not have been nicer! Took the time to take a picture with me even though they were working. I’ve been a follower for a long time and it’s so awesome to see this UA-cam channel grow. Great job guys keep it up!
it has diff locks, you did't hear them say the Gladiator had a bad ABS sense so it automatically takes it out of 4WD so they could only use 2WD with the rear locker , that was all it had, modern 4WD with too many computers
You guys are pros at wheeling, the customer is a terrible driver and had no business being in that canyon. My patience was over with him and I was just watching!
Just so everyone knows. The 4 wheel drive was working. However without both front shafts(we removed the broken one) the LOCKERS wouldn't engage because of a damaged ABS sensor so no power would go to the passenger front. That was why it was technically in 2 wheel drive. The front driveline was spinning, but it had nowhere to go missing one of the front axle shafts.
Thanks for that info, I was wondering why.
@@jimmyramos7837 Sill, The operator lacked some skill. Enough so that he might find another area to play in?
Yes, thanks for mentioning that, even in 2WD the jeep looked gutless.
@@jimmyramos7837 ABS sensors are also used for traction control and wheel speed. So the damaged sensor meant the system was protecting itself from the unknown.

it has diff locks, you did't hear them say the Gladiator had a bad ABS sense so it automatically takes it out of 4WD so they could only use 2WD with the rear locker , that was all it had, modern 4WD with too many computers
Or maybe a driver that realized his rig was way too heavy for that trail
😂
I’m that guy
And that’s my truck
Monsoon rain and weather is no joke !
Wow, great footage of the storm.
Gotta hate it when dust gets wet. The absolute worst mud. Good job.
I know you guys work hard, but man you make it look easy. Those storms man
Wiley is a badass vehicle. That thing can go anywhere.

You guys are pros at wheeling, the customer is a terrible driver and had no business being in that canyon.
My patience was over with him and I was just watching!
