Is there anything you two can't do? I love how you come up with an idea, determine that it's beyond your current capabilities, then source the educational content required to figure it out, and then go and do it - all successfully! Simple Amazing!
They can't giveaway there truck
Just want to thank you guys for sharing your adventures with us...during these difficult times I find a lot of joy watching your journey...
“Ambition Strikes” is a perfect name for your channel. Most people start a project and realize they don’t have the skills for the job. You two seem to have a willingness to learn and gather information that surpasses most peoples “ambition”. Thank you for the superb content.
Shhhheeeesh, That XJ looks hella good!
Amazing!!!!! Cant wait to see it in the snow!!!!
I love how you do it all together
Well done that is a difficult job most people would never contemplate I'm impressed...
You guys always work so good together
I can’t tell how amazed I am at your willingness to take on so many challenging projects. You two are truly inspiring. Keep it up, can’t wait for more.
droped a comment for the algorythmus, droped a like for riley´s knowledge and a big smile for Coutrney goofeyness which makes the vid always intressting and fast; best invested time for all of us
Thank you so much for the support! ☺️
Absolutely amazing, Riley the ‘Engineering Genius’!
Next year, Riley: "hey I just finished the helicopter, where's my goggles?"
Very cool build!! ☃️❄❄⛄
😂
I am looking forward to the testing and improvements but those a definitely a great first edition of the Ambition Strikes Tracks kit. Good job!
For the anti rotation you should spring load it to reduce the stress. Thats how they do on track kits on ATVs kits. If you needs pictures or ideas I can take pics of my kit I have.
Thanks for the tip, that’s a great idea!
A hydraulic shock absorber (regular ole suspension shock) mounted horizontally from somewhere around the lower control arm (front) or front leaf mount (rear) would prevent the track units from swingling around like a pendulum and could be configured as limit stops if sized correctly and mounted properly.
Gas charged shocks could be used to counteract the counteract the drive torque as well. (More complicated on the front end as the forces on the unit reverses when in 2wd and 4wd, but honestly, this this is probably only gonna move in 4wd. )
Way cool! Can't wait to see it in the snow! Totally impressed 👏 for real!
Riley, you're a proper Renaissance man! Bravo to you both for such an accomplishment!
Outstanding build. I can’t wait for the episode on how to add full hydraulic steering, should be really cool and useful.
all this mechanical and technical jargon and I am just as mesmerised by the vinyl application
I cannot believe there is so talented motivated people out there. I been watching since barndominium project and was not shocked or anything since I am a builder but that was only your newly acquired skill sets. I am especially amazed at Courtney. I have not been around woman like her who get things done and are willing to do hard work including my own wife. Women here all just sit around in comfortable home wearing brand name clothes and luxury bag watching Netflix and gossip about break ups. My wife call me to bring laundry up to 2nd floor while I was working down in the crawl space fixing beams and joist of our patio in blazing 95 degrees.
Great content you two. A suggestion for Boone... When we go camping we set up a "run line" at camp. Between two trees tie off a rope or twine 50-100 feet or so at about 8 feet high. Attach a 10 foot lead to this with a carabiner and attach it to the pooch. When we do this, it allows our dog to essentially have the run of the camp while still being limited to the camp. It's a lot more freedom for her and allows her to run as well. Just a thought. Cheers from Arizona.
This is one of the coolest projects ever which was the LAST thing I expected to come across on UA-cam!!!. Always loved snow and tracked vehicles!
With your enthusiasm and ambition you'll be able to do anything
Most impressive part of this entire build is Tylers? rock-solid motionless pose starting at 13:09. He doesn't even flinch once!
I love how she always making him feel great about his amazing job.He’s like I didn’t think it was going to fit and she’s like really babe. Like she believes in him. I love that.
Courtney you are so cool with stuff it's a WOW GIRL
Thank you so much for muting the grinding and cutting noises. You have no idea how much more pleasurable it makes watching your videos.
Jeez you two have soo much different skills. Love the fact you make everything yourselves. Great job 👏
Truly, truly impressive!!!!!
build while your at it!!!!!!!You got all the parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How freaking cool! I was debating on buying a CNC table and seeing this has conviced me it's the right thing to do.
2 things to know with your tracked Jeep. (1) Take extra gas. Your mileage will be worse than you expect, around 3 mpg. (2) Your power steering will need a super efficient cooler or you'll boil your power-steering fluid and have to muscle it.
Fantastic job. You'll have to refine your setup and sell your CNC file to people who want to replicate this awesomeness!
Having a plasma table is a serious game changer! We'd highly recommend checking out Arclight Dynamics. Our table has had ZERO issues and the customer service we've gotten is top notch.
@@AmbitionStrikes Hey, thanks for the reply! I've been looking at the Langmuir Systems Crossfire XR that is a full 4x8 and costs $6500 but I check out the Arclight Dynamics as well. It's always good to hear about great customer service. Thanks!
Awesomeness! My whole career as an engineer building machines and I never did anything like that.
Oh my goodness.... it works!
Brilliant!! and super COOL!! Have fun SNOWVERLANDERing!!
Mullet wigs all the way!!! 👍👍 Beanies and jack shirts too!
Like a couple of excited school kids. Nice to see you having fun 😁
Snowverlander is a brilliant name for the jeep. Love watching you guys work.
The first videos I saw on your channel were about your nice dozer. I was questionning whether you were able fix it up. Now I think I should have watched some of these older videos! Amazing work and absolutely no questions about your abilities anymore! Great work!
Riley that is awesome, you are a great and crafty guy. I get your concern as you got further into it. But well done.
You folks are such an inspiration with your can do attitude.
You guys may not be old enough to realize you need the A-Team theme tune playing in the background on this video. Awesome!
Can’t wait to see the snow fly, you two have accomplished a really hard thing to do. I hope you make it home safe.
Wow! Great teamwork😎. Awesome job🎉
What the WHAT!!!! That is a ridiculously sick build!!!! WOW😱🤩
Mullet Wigs For The Win!
You two are a hell of a team I see nothing stopping you guys in life congratulations Rick and Pam from southern Ohio
Nice build. Might I suggest putting the track on a moving dolly, then you can roll them in to place without lifting them. Of course you need a jack to lift it high enough. Take care.
For the rear wheels adding coil over shocks from the slider skis up to the frame. You want to have the shock set to lift the front of the track if they lift off the ground. This may require mounting the shocks to the rear of the tracks. Once you figure that out, the front will need more to allow the tracks to turn.
Looking very good.
The Trax are interesting and the real question is will they work to well so that you really get stuck. Leave 2 pairs of snowshoes as well as a small shovel in the Cherokee during deep snow use. Spending a night in the snow and digging yourself out is no fun. (don't ask me how I know)
Hey Riley,
is there a link to the plans and files to cut and make some of these for my Japanese mini truck?
Thx.
That looks like it is going to be a lot of fun
I love how you guys explain what’s happening I’ve seen so many other UA-camrs build stuff and not explain stuff
J'ai passé un agréable après midi avec vos travaux sur le Cherokee . Bravo à vous .Simplement merci .🥇♥
Nice job guy’s! On everything!
As Einstein said “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.”
Absolutely amazing. Is there anything you can’t do?
Yellow Banana should get those shoes too.
Can’t wait to see it in the snow. Whoot Hoo
Fabulous conception and implementation of tracks on your Jeep!
Can't wait for it to have full 4wd
That is FREAKING AWESOME!!!! Kick ASS...GREAT JOB !!!!
I'm thoroughly impressed! The way those tracks look! Damn! I can't wait to see them in action in their natural habitat!
You have all the cool tools. Decal maker? Awesome teamwork. Thanks for sharing
I want some for Heidi my Hummer H2.... Excellent job!!!
good videos nice to see life and happiness in people , I lived in boise beautiful country but hate the snow I am from Utah and I also hate thensnow so I reside in new Mexico
I look forward to seeing you build a heated insulated concrete shop floor. :-)
Dang!
UA-cam needs to add a “love”button!!!!
☺️
That is an incredible amount of fabrication. Really impressive! And it worked!!
You guys are absolutely amazing! Just discovered your channel and I'm hooked. Recently retired. I built a large barndominium and shop. Did most of the work myself including design. Seeing what you are capable of, is absolutely humbling. Love your spirit, energy, and contagious likeability. You two are a match made in heaven..
Thanks for watching Howard! 😊
CNC machine? Sure. Everyone has one of those laying around the house. You are the most clever and you have the best puppies ever.
I bet you'd be surprised! There are several DIY and affordable options on the market these days.
Awesome build!! You can do it!!
Dude this is absolutely amazing work! I would love to buy the plans off you for a hefty sum in a couple years!
The tracks turned out fantastic hopefully they work great in the snow. You guy’s are very skilled and talented. Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
I love the snow tracks idea. I had been contemplating that idea for about 20yrs, but I couldn’t find any plans for them anywhere. All I could find was pictures of them. I’d really like to find some plans somewhere just to give me an idea of how tall and wide I could make them, or even implement them on an ATV for deer hunting season. Thank you for rekindling that idea. Feel free to message me anytime. I might be able to help you with a project that you’re stuck on completing. Thanks again.
cool to follow you from Denmark🇩🇰 with cities mega good video👍🏻😊 you are always welcome here in Denmark 🇩🇰 in the EU
Paint is better than powder part for these parts. Powder coat will crack and allow moisture in causing corrosion.
You guys are so inspiring, while still maintaining your sense of humour and ability to laugh at yourselves!
I just subscribed! I commend you guys for living your dream. I have only watched (listened mostly) to a couple videos, I’m on an automotive assembly line. I like your attitude of never giving up. You are a joy to watch working together. You give us confidence to “you will never know unless you try” encouragement.
Thanks so much for subscribing Brian!
The only channel I look forward to every week! You guys are addictive! Love it!
Thank you SO much for the support! ☺️
Would that we all had as much on the ball as you two. Refreshing. Inspiring. Thank you.
You guys are very cool and very Ambitious!!!
I’m glad your using a longer bolt. But would like to see you add a locking nut, so the wheel does tighten or loosen that single nut.
I’m impressed, well wicked impressed.
watched it 3 times! can't wait for the next video.
Thank you so much for supporting the channel! ☺️
Looks awesome, you need a small harbor freight furniture dolly or mechanics creeper to move them around when mounting/dismounting them so you can slide them sideways onto the lugs. Can't wait to see it do Snow-nuts.
That is a great idea!!
Wow that whole process was so cool, you are so clever!
You kids are a continuing source of fascination for me. I am awestruck at your drive, imagination and skills. You give me hope for the future. Keep on keeping on.
Excellent! Manouering in the snow will be the acid test though. Great stuff with the rattle can and Riley did a bit too....
Loving the Series. Greetings from Bavaria - Germany
Excellent Job! Nice fabrication. Great design! Great stiffness improvements.
this is awesome! but yes, mullets are a MUST!!
F...king Awesome! Can't wait to see this Snowerlander perform in Idaho! Ho ho go!
I'm loving the retro decals! Now you just have to get back so you Send It!!!
Yes!! It is official Y’all are Amazing!!
Wonderful build
Excited for snow
Best Wishes
❤️❤️🐾
you should refer to those parts as the track frame, they will support the idler wheels, sprocket and the tracks and will pivot on the wheel hubs. similar to the track frame of a dozer.
That was so cool. You guys are awesome! Oh yeah, "that looks great, but I'm not going to show you yet..." very effective!
Another interesting project!
Can’t wait to see it in the snow.
You guys could put together a Best Of-Funny Moments & Outtakes video. Be sure to include today’s vid at 17:57.
You never fail to impress! Fingers crossed they perform well for you guys, but I am sure you will address any issue that arises and make them even better.
You guys are totally amazing ambitious and awesome. I can’t believe you actually did it. Now for the snow
Fantastic accomplishment! And it does look like a blast to drive. But living in snow country you need to get serious about clearing your drive. You have the perfect tool for that task; your truck. Just add a snow plow and tire chains and the county road crew will be jealous.
Finally got the last parts to the plow today!
Gonna wanna put some extra cans of gas. Cool job on them. Hopefully it handles well in the snow
Here's a technical comment.
You might want to mount the drive sprocket to the car first so you can torque the nuts easier.
The ones I've seen all use that procedure for safety.
Love the video.
That is an excellent idea!
