By-Far!! And I do everything I can to drive traffic to this website. By posting Rory’s videos on Facebook.

      Could be wrong but seems he's been doing this and this specifically before he recorded it, before sponsors and outside recognition. Fishing people out of the rocks with American pushrods, leafsprings, hammers and stick welds. Some of the others I follow came to it from other fields in the past couple years, on road tow, heavy equipment recovery, body shop, one was even TV famous. I enjoy them all for different reasons and they're all different. Though Rory and Co. do some of the most difficult things, they do it on the daily, as ever, and to me at least it's more familiar to my life (though I don't do super hero stuff with my truck much). I love that it is all pig iron, cutting torch and possible to wrap your head around. When I price some of the stuff I see on some of the channels I'm like damn. Rorys stuff is capable and custom but a dreamer could see themselves heading to the pull and pick and getting started. Hope there's still enough of these old trucks kicking around to keep it going another couple decades. At least the diesels you could work on without a degree have seen a lot of inflation. Just fun people in 4x4 parts mecca doing things we wish we could, but not with stuff we couldn't dream of affording or risking damage to. (I know it ain't all cheap but you know what I'm saying) These guys are the real deal.

    Last week on the White Rim Trail I met the group that the ranger was traveling with. When I asked them if they had broken anything yet, they told me about the red Ranger. I knew this video was coming. Those guys drove from the east coast to drive a bunch of Moab stuff. That's cool that you had a job just right for the blue tow truck. I love your videos, and this one didn't disappoint.

    The rear bumper on Blue is amazing and the way you cut the box sides is perfect. I hadn't noticed the the way the box, fenders, and bumper all fit so well. It's like a smooth flow together of the three pieces. Rory designed that whole rearend to perfection. No areas where the tow vehicle is going to damage Blue. Then the setup so that the tow vehicle isn't going to damage Blue.
    Great filming which shows the two vehicles together and how Blue tackles the rocks

    I love Lockhart Canyon. Good choice going in the way you did, although it took a lot longer. The other side of that canyon on the Chicken Corners side would have been tough to get that truck out without damage. I don't think ol Blue would have made it through the v-notch area without some side panel damage. It is definitely out in the middle of nowhere, which is one of the reasons I like it. Usually plan a two day trip and camp in the middle somewhere. The stars at night are absolutely incredible out there.
