More Maintenence On Mini-Mater

Lilli and I took Mini-Mater out wheeling on Christmas Eve, so then we had to bring it in the shop and do some more maintenence on it. The front CV's have been clicking bad so we replaced them with some newer used ones we had. While fixing those we found a worn wheel bearing and brake pads. So we replaced those. Then I bent the cross ember that holds the transmission, so we pulled it out and I straightened it and reinforced it. While we had it on the lift we went ahead and replaced the front bumpstops and pulled 1 spacer out. Then we had to pull it out in the yard for the normal clearance check. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Rory wish to hell you would have shown the ZIP tie trick a few months ago damn I got new ones and filled them up with Grease trust me Mike when Rory and Sean said don't do it there is a reason I was drunk for 3 damn days putting mine in and invented swear words along with throwing everything in my shop damn dogs wouldn't even come in for fear of getting hit with something 😂 thanks for the tip

Can you imagine Rory's surprise that anything could have been bent as careful as he is about staying on roads ? ? 😮

Mikes reference to Ed bass master... Look at it, just look at it😅😅. He never fails in comedy. And I'm super pumped about the new rig. I can't wait for the end result which I'm sure is gonna be awhile. Meaning when he finally rebuilds just about everything to be unstoppable. 😅

Rory I am glad to see Mini Mater is back to full power and you fixed some issues. You are going to have a busy January so you need all the recovery vehicles at full power

[vanbrown]

I bet going and having a beer with Mike would be rather entertaining

I like it when you have fun videos in your innuendos.

From the Netherlands - yes yes Gods only "flat as a pancake country" - to Rory & Lilli and team Trailmater thanks for all the video's and lesson's you give me/us in 2024. Hope that 2025 bring you all a lot of love and happiness and a lot of Moab and offroad-recovery.

I enjoy your videos and all we hear is the discussion and laughter among the three of you. No crappy music and thank you for that.

It’s going to be hard to beat Rory on a “Budget Build”. Mini Mater is Awesome!!

Rory, Your on- camera speaking skills have improved significantly over the past few years. I looked back at an off-road Jeep welding with Trail Mater trail repair video you did with Matt and Jamie when you were out just wheeling with them after being at KOH.In that video you admitted that speaking on-camera was very difficult for you to do at the beginning of your YouTubeing career.

Mini-Mater is awesome! Remember to inform / remind the viewers of its dual purpose. It was only briefly mentioned, that it’s your Off Road Games entry
