I've been beating on one of those Harbor Freight Band saws for 30 years and it's still going strong. My wife bought it for a Christmas present and brought it home in her Miata Sports car. The kid that helped her load it thought she had lost her mind. But with the top down it fit in the passengers side easy. Then she just put the top back up and drove home in 28 degree weather. Gotta love her. She has bought me some awsome tools for my shop.
There is no quit when Ambition Strikes! I predict this will work a treat of give new definition to the "Nantucket Sleigh ride" going down that drive! FR
Anxious to see the completed project. It is nice to hear you say, "I made a mistake", or "It didn't work", rather then just let us see the end result. This should make others realize that the knowledge to do something isn't already there and it definitely takes research and trial and error. Keep up the good work.
You crazy kids, we feel like we know you, we watch all your videos, you were 3 minutes from our place. We are up on the hill above Wal-Mart. Happy projecting. 😁😁 The O'Neill's.
I bought one of those bandsaws while building my home built airplane. Works fine until you go to move it and the legs collapse. Stiffen them up now before they go on you.
My comment on your statement about having driven about 5000 miles being tough an I guess it would be for ya'll. Now for me that amount of driving was a drop in the bucket as I regularly drove that much in a week to 10 days all the time. Life of a truck driver. Your statement had me laughing so hard I bout fell out of my chair. Love you two, keep up the projects an smiles on your faces
You guys are AWESOME! My fiance and I live in the back country a few hours away from north Idaho as well with our 3 kiddos and we all love taking the jeep out and overlanding! Love the videos, keep it up!!
@@AmbitionStrikes Absolutely!! Jeep is torn apart in the shop at the moment, getting a little TLC done to it as well as some upgrades, We would love to go snowverlanding with you guys!! When it gets back together I'll hit you up! Sorry it took me so long to reply, Didn't see your reply!! Congratulations on your little one as well!!
Always impressed by not only your knowledge, but the robust way you throw yourselves into new projects that require new skills. You are a blast to watch!
Reckless Riley went to a whole new level in this one :D We love you guys! We live in Carson City Nevada and have high winds on occassion. Those winds you were in were in an entirely different wind bracket, holy smokes!!!!
Plasma cutter ✅ Fab shop ✅ Adventure camper ✅ eBike✅ Army truck ✅ Off grid property ✅ Pole barn garage with apartment ✅ Backhoe ✅ Jeep with tracks ✅ Glad one of us competed my bucket list! 😂 But willing to give up all that to not be around monster spiders like that! That is exactly why I live where it snows 8 months out of the year. ❄ ❄ ❄
I love these videos both the “build” ones and the human interest ones. I’ve never met a Casey by birth or marriage who isn’t smart, creative, entrepreneurial, genuine and funny. You came by it honestly. “Can do” people are important because they have the greatest ideas and they pave the way for the rest of us. Love the Jeep.
I love spiders, the biggest we see in the Netherlands where I live, are about 5 cm incl legs. I've lived in South Africa where we had some big ones too. Looking forward to seeing the jeep in snow as well as the rest of the barn build!
Damnit Reckless! You live a charmed life, sir! Ok...what the WHAT?!?!? How does someone, Alex, break a front axel housing? 😕😒 I am so relieved! When you first started talking about this, I was picturing a SnowCat! I held my tongue, I was not going to be negative...but SnowTrax is an awesome idea!!!! No snow yet. I'll let you know as soon as it does. Are you going to be able to get the trailers up to the shop after it snows? I wonder how soon Courtney will out drive you in the new JeepTrax! 😉
There is great satisfaction in building your own stuff and you 2 do it well. I think the dogs were looking for something a little more roomy. lol I`m looking forward to the next vid. Take care
My dad's had one of those band saws for probably close to 30 years still going pretty good. The frame is flimsy but folks modify them and fix their short comings cheap
@@AmbitionStrikes You might want to use the plasma table to make the parts you'd need to stiffen it before you head for Idaho. That way, if you need/want to do so later, you just need a welder.
You had me at HELLO! Love this project. As a former XJ owner, this is awesome! They are great. My first adult car. On Jeep 3 JKU currently. Love the content and keep up the great work!!
Riley & Courtney..love your videos. IMHO..I would think twice about not having steps inside your building to your apartment. On a rainy or snowy day or night, pull in the blg and walk up your steps to your living quarters. Good luck you guys.
Amazing to watch you guys and ur awesome machine at work, cant wait to see the finished product. Im not a Jeep guy, but I know you will make this one work, impressive stuff!
❤ So exciting! You're very welcome for the Grabo Suction tool. We can't wait to see how you two put it to use. 😊 We are also hoping you have a lot of snow so we can see the Snowverlander in action. Mark (& Teresa)
Great to see you again! Fantastic project, too. My guess is not a very tight turning radius to minimize driving off of the front treads. Thank you also for the doggo action shots. Have travels. Sure was a huge storm a few days ago, so maybe The Red Tracula will get a snowy maiden voyage. Be safe.
Oh this should be fun. Ideally you want the leading and trailing edges high to assist in climbing over obstacles and snow/mud and avoid digging in, but this eats into your footprint. I think for your needs your design will work fine unless you get stuck, then it might have a tendency to dig under. With solid ground under the snow digging down should be a non-issue
Super cool!! There was a guy lived on the mountain near me in Colo had tracks on his full size blazer. Went awesome up the mountain in deep snow. Steering was an issue though... Can't wait to see your fabrication!!!
Great video. Would love to find out more about your original XJs - especially that one Courtney was driving with part of the roof removed. Looking forward to seeing more of the build!
That was a fun build! We bought it with the roof rusted through… so obviously the solution was to cut it off! Here is the build thread for that one: www.pirate4x4.com/threads/96-xj-the-wheeling-beer-can.2156618/
@@AmbitionStrikes Still reading. Amazing job on that build. It's no wonder you were busy when you had your shop, with the quality of work you do, as also demonstrated on this channel. I'm even more curious to see where this Jeep build ends up. Have you guys considered going back into the custom 4x4/fab business, or even building overland rigs like yours, once you get settled in Idaho?
This is the first video I've watched on your channel and I enjoyed it I'm actually working on a 95 Sahara yj which is my dream vehicle I don't hàve near the toys y'all have lol but I still enjoy making stuff and fabricating new ideas looking forward to more videos. New sub from a coalminer in Alabama
I love the fact that you guys don't apologize for your love of Harbor Freight. There are so many times where 'good enough' works.
It will work because you are GOOD AND GREAT
I hope you get back to your property befor any heavy snow falls. You need to get the camper and trailer up there.

That machine is realy awsm and saves lot of time literally lot of time
Sweet! I had an XJ crawler and miss it every day. Such a sweet ride. So jealous right now.
We're sensing a theme here... I think the XJ is the "right that go away"... 😂
There is no quit when Ambition Strikes! I predict this will work a treat of give new definition to the "Nantucket Sleigh ride" going down that drive! FR
Thanks for captioning as part 1, 2 etc, not to miss out any episode
Super jelly of the plasma table and the skills required to operate it!
The plasma table is such a game changer!
I wish i had skills like u guys
No quetion lots of love and support✌️😍😍

Ambition Strikes meets Mad Max. ... Riley the FABricator wins the Oscar
Very talented.
Just keep your snowshoes handy when using snotrax, they dont like deep powder! :)
Sure is nice having a heated cab sno machine though!
That’s going to be a awesome build! Lord have mercy on my soul.
More!!!....I need to see more!!!!....guess we will have to impatiently wait for the next one. Stay safe guys.
Any vehicle on tracks is AWESOME! Can’t wait to see it all finished.
Can’t wait to see your tracked Jeep!
The four of you are really incredibly entertaining!
I'm finally watching this video and it makes the future ones more understandable. Love your content and your doggies too. From Central Oklahoma
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO didn't want this video to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are amazing... Can't wait to see how this turns out...
It's gotten to the point where I hit the like button before I even watch 👍
☺️
I wish you could hit it multiple times...
Casually ejects the wood ramps. Very smooth 💪
😉
You crazy kids, we feel like we know you, we watch all your videos, you were 3 minutes from our place. We are up on the hill above Wal-Mart. Happy projecting. 😁😁 The O'Neill's.
We’re soaking in this California sun as long as we can before heading back North!
두분 영상은 , 언제나 보는 사람을 행복하게 해주네요 ^^.
YAY!!! So happy to see you guys building again!!!
It feels GREAT to be back!
Well, this outta be a fun thing to see come to fruition.
That jeep was well loved... the adventures it has seen! Now for a new challenge, Snow. This will get you to the best ski spots ever
I went through a storm like that at Glamis Dunes a few years ago, yuk, sand everywhere!
I bought one of those bandsaws while building my home built airplane. Works fine until you go to move it and the legs collapse. Stiffen them up now before they go on you.
That is a great tip, we’ll do it before we move it up to Idaho!

Just when I think you guys have a great project you go and get a cooler one amazing
I'm not sure how we're going to top this one!
Ultralight helicopter made of vacuum resin infused carbon fiber! 😎
Who would of thought, just crazy but the parts you cut do look cool ... You are making one very interesting barndominium built ...
Loved the way Riley shot the ramp/boards off the back of the trailer, very classy!
Great toy let the adventure begin! Love your approach to life.
Riley you guys are cool! Most of my tools are from Harbor Freight!
That first piece, the circular hub would look great on the wall. Perfect vehicle to do this with. Cheers!!!
When life is about building toys and playing (+living) with it, means you have the best life !! Watch for your back spine Riley !
You guys are AWESOME! My fiance and I live in the back country a few hours away from north Idaho as well with our 3 kiddos and we all love taking the jeep out and overlanding! Love the videos, keep it up!!
Awesome! We're looking forward to getting the tires back on the Jeep for some summer exploration.
Also, thank you SO much for buying our snow track plans!! Let's go Snowverlanding together next winter. 👊

와~ 진짜, 매번 재미있는 튜닝에 대리만족 합니다.
nice diy , thx video
You will definitely need those tracks.
You two are insane. We love it. Locking forward to next video. 👍
Reckless Riley went to a whole new level in this one :D We love you guys! We live in Carson City Nevada and have high winds on occassion. Those winds you were in were in an entirely different wind bracket, holy smokes!!!!
We could not believe the wind. At one point they clocked 85mph! 😳
What a teaser!!!! Love the idea. I am a full size guy but my son wants a cherokee so bad.
Wow a tarantula! Creepy but cool! And the rest of the video is pretty cool too! lol!
Amazing DIY engineering actually...Im impressed.
Look up external drivers for snow mobiles. Internal drivers work fine, but you have to run the tracks tighter to keep them from slipping.
Dang, this truly is an ambition project. Talk about some rapid prototyping! Anxiously awaiting pt2
Riley was really good at explaining everything about the work on what he's gonna do. Like the designing and the measurements are very detailed 👍👍👍🇵🇭

That Facebook meme about "why do I live where it's so cold my face hurts" comes to mind... 😆

No snow yet. I'll let you know as soon as it does.

I wonder how soon Courtney will out drive you in the new JeepTrax! 😉
The Pismo dunes are notorious for breaking axles.
We’re hoping to get the trailers up there before snow sticks! 🤞
Happy to see you two back building things and getting ready for the snow in Idaho.
Hi guys, good luck for this new adventure, it's grezt to see you both always with a smile on your faces, keep safe and well.
There is great satisfaction in building your own stuff and you 2 do it well. I think the dogs were looking for something a little more roomy. lol I`m looking forward to the next vid. Take care
Oh yes, Boone sure does love a good Econoline van… but these days that’s expensive taste!😂
FYI the skis are called rails when it comes to track systems. Looking good.
My dad's had one of those band saws for probably close to 30 years still going pretty good. The frame is flimsy but folks modify them and fix their short comings cheap
Modifying the frame to be a bit more stout would make for a significant improvement!

So cool! Can’t wait to see the next update!
I don't blame you Courtney. I would be freaking along with you and your dogs if I saw that tarantula crawling across the driveway.
Amazing! Soo stocked to see how you get over all the issues.
Excited to see this project. Figures you would got diy used. Such makers.
The wood "ramp ejection" was the funniest part.
Riley was so glad I caught it on camera! 😂
Our first 4x4 was also an XJ. Great car. Followed by a ZJ, but then we switched to the dark side (Ford Ranger, Ford F350) :-)
I can't wait to see the sequel.
discovered your channel about three weeks and trying to go back and catch up with the present. you guys are awesome

We can not wait to put this thing to the test!
Wow excited for this another one. keep inspiring❤️

Such a cool project! Can’t wait to see more!
Maybe a chair or tow rope lift up that hill to the barn? Could get some runs in over the winter!
I like your thinking!
It might be a beginning of a new business. I am pretty sure that a lot of people would love to have such accessories to their jeep.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us
I love how the thumbnail whited out the vehicle in a shape that is still unmistakably an XJ! I got a kick out of that.
😉
Can't wait another episode! Faster guys faster!
Wow you 2...awesome...lookin' goood.... 😎 keep well
nice
What an awesome idea.
I saw 880 Berkeley traffic, you guys are the real thing! 😅
