While we were on other side of the state for the 24 Hell and Back we decided to take on Matt's challenge of the Sand Chute. We invited ‪@FabRats‬ to come along with us. We went down to he bottom and then had a game to see who went first. Paul won and got first shot. His truck did awesome and went right up on the first run. We went and right away was having some shifter issues. Most speed shifting an old 4 speed isn't great. Once we got that handled we kept trying. First we dropped air pressure. That got us quite a bit higher. Then we tried backing up it, that didn't work. So we decided to try a trick with my aluminum ramps... Which was interesting but unsuccessful. So out came our ‪@pullpal‬ land anchor. It did great and pulled us right up to the midway. In doing that the MORR crew showed up with the Broncbuster guys and they brought all the chaos. Once Jeff and Rhett made it up the Broncbuster rig was struggling due to a broken front axle. So out came the land anchor again and was used to winch him up to the midway point. Once there we tried multiple ways to get him up. We finally got halfway up when Paul's truck lost the water pump gasket. So while he let it cool down we winched Trailmater and the bronco up. Then once Paul's rig was cool enough we did one last pull with all the rigs pulling and got us all up. Paul decided to have us carry him out to avoid hurting his engine. So we got them back to the trailer and fun was had by some. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

    Remember, Kids! The sand chute is not a toy. And one more thing. Great job on the recovery, the self recovery, and the other recovery!
  • @FabRats
    Good times were had. Thanks for the tow! Hopefully I can re-pay the favor one day.😎

    With the fraction boards strapped to the rear wheels of Trail Mater, she behaved just like a sea turtle on the beach, getting ready to lay her eggs. Truly precious. Fun videos from both you and the Fab Rats. Thanks!
  • @akelagold
    Loved how Rory emphasized that for anyone stuck in the sand chute to call MORR. He doesn't want that headache lol
  • @95dodgev10
    "Oh yea I'm not worried" as he roots around inside his transmission with a pry bar.. lol but lo and behold he prevailed as always.
  • @donwilliams3626
    "Sand anchor beats sand trap" is the quote of the day. The entertainment value on the Sand Chute is tremendous.
  • @justachipn3039
    It's always fun when a bunch of bad ideas come together... LOVE IT !!!
  • @Scrambler85
    I give Rory a thumbs up even before I watch the video 👍👍👍
  • @TrevorDennis100
    I watched Paul's video of this adventure a few days ago, and it's fascinatingly to see it from Rory's point of view. I love Mike's sense of humour. He is so dry, and very funny.

    If you plan on going to the Sand Chute, go early in the morning because it's going to be a long day.
  • @donaldstafford970
    WOW, this field testing event and collaboration with FR was awesome! Even better that both channels published their views of the results! Bravo to all involved!
  • @Myhandle306
    5 thumbs up 24 seconds after posting…pretty impressive. Always fun to see Rory and Paul together.
  • @wirebrush
    Just like the wrecker games. Rory got the job done without tearing anything up despite not having the home advantage or the best tool for the job, and he helped out others along the way. If I get stuck or broke down in the Backcountry of south central Utah, I know who I'd call first.

    Power and wheel speed is everything..Just like on a dirt Bike..
