We had to repair what broke on Mini-Mater the last time I took it out. Then the recovery trailer needed some upgrades to keep up with how big Sxs's are getting. Then we had to fix Ol Blue and get new gears and a locker in the rear axle. All in all it was a productive week of getting things accomplished around the shop.

Some more testing, chopping, and new parts on Mini-Mater. Then had to run out and help a few rigs get up the very muddy Mineral Bottom Switchbacks. After that was a job out on Hells Revenge Trail to get a Jeep Cherokee that had rolled on Hells Gate. He had a broken axleshaft on the rear so the back tire was walking out. I borrowed my buddy Dustin's recovery dolly for side by sides. But in trying to get the Cherokee out of Hells Gate the JK broke. So I left it there at the top of the obstacle and ran back to the shop to get Trailmater. After finally getting the Cherokee to the trailhead and loaded onto the customers trailer I called it a day. Then the next day my buddy Jake and I ran out to get the JK. A quick repair and we drove it back out. Thank you all so much for watching what we do. It really means alot to us and we appreciate all of you.

Had to run out and pull a Toyota 4runner off Hells Revenge Trail. He had broken the rear ring and pinion. So he could still have the engine running and have steering and brakes. So it went fairly well. Then we ran out to Golden Spike to get a Jeep having issues with the power steering pump. We got up there after struggling on the slick rock on Rusty Nail Trail. Once there we filled up the power steering reservoir and it seemed to be doing ok. We made it about 1/2 a mile when the pump squeaked so we stopped to check it. It was leaking right out of the pump shaft seal. So we said oh well and began to pull it out. We had to have Mike help out on the Gold Bar Waterfall obstacle, but other than that things went great. All in all I'm happy with how Mini is working right now. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Continuing with our Offroad Games Build. We decided to go ahead and make a tiny wrecker. We finished the cage and new rear section. Along with tools, fenders, and winches. Right after getting it mostly built we took it on a recovery of a small offroad camper. I think this is gonna be a great addition to the fleet and perfectly capable of competing at the Matt's Offroad Games in March. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

So we have to build a rig for Matt's Offroad Games 2025...so we dug through the backyard and decided to build the old JK into something. With a 'shoot from the hip' design we began cutting and bending. Come along as we turn a fairly capable jeep into a true offroad recovery rig. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

After getting a 4Runner out of the snow we headed for Golden Spike Trail to get a Cherokee with a broken trackbar mount. Mike and I headed in thru Rusty Nail as Shawn brought the customer in through Gold Bar Rim. We got there and started putting everything together, we got it tacked in place when the welder quit on Trailmater. After some discussion we decided to come back in the morning. Once again the following morning Mike and I headed in with the buggy through Rusty Nail and got it all welded together. Shawn met up with us with the customers and they were able to drive it out.
