Trail Mater - The backstory on Rory Irish and his Off Road Wrecker

[@MattsOffRoadRecovery]

Awesome interview!

[@Gone_Gpn]

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-

[@outlaw26aow61]

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]

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

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

@@outlaw26aow61 Front digs are never unnecessary if they annoy someone. Cool to watch if they don't.

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

Rory is an awesome man Matt.

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

Awesome interview! Rory and his guys are some of the most humble people I've ever met, they are always willing to take a few minutes to chat with someone.

[@Gone_Gpn]

Agreed, just normal guys doing their thing. Thanks for the input.

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

That’s what makes their channels so fun and enjoyable to watch.

[@JimSealyJr]

Hearing Rory explain why and how he does things is like a master class in offroad recovery.

[@Gone_Gpn]

Agreed, thanks for the feedback, Jim

[@mr_mongo7228]

Great interview and when I first got into UA-cam 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]

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..."

They're great people, no cussing, no derogatory rude comments about people, which I've heard from an AZ channel.

[@Gone_Gpn]

Agreed, and fun to hang out with too.

[@helmutkrahn9337]

So good to see Rory himself and his channel evolve. He adds a lot of colour and character to the actual wrecker world and UA-cam space. Until I stumbled on this video I hadn't seen andy of Rory's, so thanks!

[@Gone_Gpn]

Thanks for the feedback, Helmut, it is great to see a good guy doing what he loves knocking it out of the ballpark.

[@Gone_Gpn]

Thanks for the input, Tim.

[@S0REN_]

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!

[@Gone_Gpn]

Thanks for the input, SOREN, his background in oil and running a bed truck definitely helped.

[@tacder1]

Great interview Chris! Rory and his team are number one for repair and recovery. I'm sure you enjoyed being with him. Chris, for the life of me I don't understand why you guys don't have 1,000's more subscribers by now. You do a great job with your videos and have great information. Come on folks, let's get Gone-Gpn to 10K by June!!!!

[@Gone_Gpn]

Hey Rick, Collard here. Thanks for the good words...and as for the 1,000s of more subscribers, no idea. The entire team is busy doing our "other" jobs and doing what we can with Gone-GPN. Thanks again, C-

Hey MD Collins, thanks for the input.

[@g0fvt]

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.

what you guys do matters, how you work together matters. I'm a retired NYPD police officer disabled so I got a lot of time to watch YOUR shows and they uplifts me gives me hope.
God knows how many people you have helped probably save lives and I've learned so much from watching you all, so
Thank You for sharing God bless you all

Thanks for the input, Jim

[@imfloridano5448]

I'm glad to see y'all helping out each other's off roading towing companies. I watch for the information. 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.

[@Gone_Gpn]

Thanks for the feedback, Imflori, and thank you for your service!

[@Amisafeyet]

The thing that Rory brings to the plate is the rigging. Add to it the mentality of an Engineer and the instinct of weight and balance with a Lone Ranger attitude. Nobody you'd rather have on a trail with you. May God continue to Bless Trail Mater Recovery! ❤

[@Gone_Gpn]

Agreed, thanks for the input, Michael.

[@Gone_Gpn]

Thanks for the input and best of luck. Just be yourself

[@bernieshort6311]

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.

[@Gone_Gpn]

Agreed, thanks for the input, Burnie

[@BodiTriggerfinger]

[@FREE_WILL_AAHhhhhhhhhhhhh]

I met Rory under similar circumstances lol.... my dad and I were on a road trip, the only tshirt I bought was TrailMater Wrecker Games, (I feel he was the real winner that day if you're judging ability to do the least harm while recovering off road) when I showed up to his shop and was checking out Trailmater, Rory came out, he seemed quite busy but still took a few minutes to help me get my tshirt.

[@Gone_Gpn]

That's what we like about Rory, just a normal guy doing cool stuff.

[@tyendor1952]

Rory is an amazing guy. He is such a talented individual and has guys working beside him who are evolving into very talented individuals and are not afraid to tackle any adversity. An absolutely great team. Love their videos. Rory reminds me so much of my dad . he could repair or build about anything with some scrap steel and some baling wire and torch.

[@andrewest9791]

Loved hearing this backstory on Rory!

[@Gone_Gpn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DrRob-rt2lf]

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

[@Gone_Gpn]

Well said, Dr. Rob

[@stevescott6503]

I find the one thing that sets Rory apart from the others is that he uses a manual transmission and has incredible clutch control.

Also, what I like about you, Roy you seem like a really neat guy. You’re not arrogant at all that I can see anyway anyhow that’s a really neat tow truck. He got there if you ever have problems with that Dana 80 there’s a company in California called Dyna Max they make Dana 80s they’re not resource from a wrecking yard in reworked. They’re all new axles and you can get really heavy tubes on there for the axles.

[@Gone_Gpn]
