Riley, y’all need to add a fire engine build to the upcoming content. Could be very helpful, land on fire, vehicles on fire, wife’s hair on fire, incinerating toilet on fire or was that just the wings?

I am convinced that Riley breaks things just so he can fix them. His way of having fun!

Broken hydraulic hose, equipment fires and rock crawlin. Pretty much a normal day for a roadbuilder. Got a life insurance policy too!!!! You guys are officially 100% PNW roadbuilders now.

The excavator lifting the jeep is the coolest shot ever

Our bobcat 337 kept overheating after about an hour as well. New V belt, extreme radiator rinse with normal garden hose and a new fan shroud ( old fan shroud got hot, deformed and sucked against the radiator) had it back in action with the AC blasting nice and cold.

I'm a sucker for MORE dozer time! I can see in the future a giant pole barn build to house all of your toys!

Don't worry about the water level in the pond. Just make sure you have a ditch on that side of the road to let any water that comes to the surface flow down without coming up on the road surface.

Oh, Riley - Once a Poly Goat, always a Poly Goat. Your rock crawling days at Cal Poly will always be in your DNA. Love the road building!

Courtney, Brilliant Editing!!!!! You rock, girl!

Use a high pressure sprayer on the radiator with engine degreaser. It clogs up with dirt

Machines are a beast when they are working properly. Loads of fun when you don't have to stop to work on them

Boy, do I love this channel...non stop action!

😎👍👍👍Riley! You Really, "take the cake" Get more fire extinguishers! Riley, You Know what? You need Dynomite! ❤❤❤

Keep the rock crawler “obstacle” there. It will help keep the solicitors at bay!

Deeply satisfying to watch the team with the biggest/best toys at p lay.

It is hard to tell if you are making a road or a highway. :) Until you said 15 feet more down, I had no idea the scope of this project. Wow. Even construction companies don't take that lightly.

You got a good helper there for sure👍

Hey, I'm not a super regular viewer, but I'm wondering if you guys could post a "road graphic" of sorts so we can see not only your progress, but how much you have left, different grades and how long the road is overall. Anyway, thanks for the content and keep it up.

So funny that this is what we do at work, but this channel just makes it so much more entertaining.

Wow, much earth moved. Bigger wow to see the comparison of size of Jeep to excavator and checking condition of undercarriage a bonus! :)

Definitely need to get a pre-buy inspection on those old track hoes, it will be the best $350-$500. You will never spend Those old Hitachi’s are nothing but trouble. Slow pumps and weak pumps are the norm. Normally caused by pump outlet pressure sensor. But sometimes the electrical is so bad on the late 90’s up to 2015 models it’s hard to get even the sensors to work anymore. So when all of that happens, it makes the drive motors weak and it cost more to fix them, and the machine is worth, so they get sold as “ good weekend machines” and they barely even have enough power to load on the trailer.

Stumbled on to your channel while looking at old dozer stuff, I’m an old equipment operator and cut my teeth on an old 65 D6, I’m not easily impressed, but … I’M IMPRESSED. Equipment will try your patience and sanity. You have renewed my confidence in a generation that I had almost given up on. Your attitude ,tenacity,and patience towards machines and their needs is inspiring and to be commended! I’ve always treated mine as if they were family members, talking to them and treating them to fluid treats and regular maintenance , they’ll love you for it. Sounds crazy, I know , but give it a whirl, you might be surprised. I’ve been binging on your vids and they have been great fun to watch from a perspective of “been there done that “ as far as breakdowns and “break ins “ (windshield/door ..glad Courtney was not injured!! , but nothing takes the place of experience and learning from “butt in the seat” moments.) Enjoying channel and thanks again for Generation Restoration, You guys are hard workers and when you look back when you’re older at all your accomplishments, we’ll.. that’s a feeling you’ll never forget. Thanks again and …to be continued… Over and out.👍

❤ Confession Cam!!!

Hammer attachments on the bigger trac-hoes break hydraulic lines all the time! It’s a common occurrence.. nothing you did wrong. I pipeline for a living and I’ve seen them break with as little as 12-14 hours on a brand new set of hoses. Keep up the good work!

You are crazy and I love it! That’s the kind of attitude it takes to accomplish the impossible! I only wish your videos were longer and more frequent. Keep ‘‘em coming.

I think it’s blasting time. Of course, that will bring in the professionals but that would move three weeks worth of rocks in a few minutes. And what is left will be manageable with that big dozer. Also views will grow astronomical. ❤ your channel.

The road is coming along nicely. That D8 can move some serious material. When are we going to get an update on the Tsunami 500, its real daily production, and how full your cistern tank is.

If the distance to back up is a far, turn around and go forward. The tracks wear much less going forward.

I've seen dirt roads with springs on them. Owners just routed water away and let it run on road side. One of the roads in Colorado had a micro hydro installed front hat spring.

Love it, great progress. I don’t love it when equipment breaks especially when there is rental time burning. Keep going!

Courtney coming back to show the guys how it’s done 😉👍😉

Great job on the road, pushing rock sure is hard on the equipment. You’ll have your excavator all sorted out once you have the time this winter to work on it. It will make for good content! Have fun, stay safe, move some dirt!

Y'all just about need to blast that, then dig it out. I don't see how you're gonna get it done in the time you've allowed without doing so. Y'all have surprised me before though. Name of the channel is perfect for you guys. I see why you chose it now.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. You guys are Awesomesauce!! I wonder how much begging Riley will do at the end of this to Courtney and Oliver to purchase the 330 in order to replace the aging Hitachi???? On a DAD note, Riley once Oliver was born, it is amazing how your priorities change. You want to do whatever it takes to give that little guy anything and everything to take care of him. And of course Courtney was already in that circle ;)

FYI, you should always keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the fuel tank when fueling. This is to prevent the discharge of static electricity.

Looks like interstate 5 now!!!!😮

Rocking & Rolling!!!

I always like seeing how your offgrid property is continuously evolving and expanding.

Boys and their Toys having too much fun 🤩 You guys are literally CRUSHING IT! Thank you for sharing all of this with us here on KZfaq. Stay safe and healthy 😊 Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

I love the content but especially comments from experienced operators out there. You guys know your stuff; it's great advice!

Great video. Love seeing you use the heavy equipment and just casually fixing anything that goes wrong! I'm curious, when did you guys change your logo? I do like the new one, but now you'll need all new decals on all your toys! Good luck guys and God Bless.

That's how you find fun in the mountains Riley and Tyler 😂 I can't believe you guys did that on the truck.

More fun than guys should be allowed to have!! 👍👍

Oh darn. I didn’t want it to stop!!!!! Rock on. Hahahahaha

Sad the video wasn’t longer. Could have watched for another hour. Thanks for sharing.

😲The ease with which you maneuver those behemoths is truly deceiving. They look like toy models designed to amuse Oliver, in reality they are incredibly massive and powerful machines, even if at times they seem a little fragile😬. 😘

Welcome to Reck'it Riley's Rock Quarry... Hi from N. East GA

Looks like you're all having some productive fun now! I chuckled at the don't do this at home My bride rolls her eyes when I suggest getting a machine bigger than our lawn tractor 😅 You really do have a lot of work ahead of you. Looking forward to seeing more of the Adventures of Ambition Strikes ❤

The way the 330's bucket was jiggling when you went to get the overlander. It looked like it was laughing.

Hey Riley, whenever you buy a new, used machine of any kind one of the first things you must do is clean it, pressure washing with a good degreaser is the best plan. Doing this helps so much in preventing unwanted machine fires. I'm happy you didn't lose your machine but please put safety first!! Having an Extra fire extinguisher is also helpful considering your location. Great videos.

even at 15% grade you still will need to have a couple of piles or mounds of sand on hand during the winter months to sand the hill. And, as i said b4 you will need to scrape that snow and ice down as much as possible on occasion and more often as spting is around the corner so your road is not as muddy and dries out faster.

You need a set of rippers for your dozer and you will rip most of the rock in half the time cheers from Australia 👍

Can always move the pond. just image a bad winter and melt off season started, water is going to washout the road. Put a culvert in and direct where you want the water to go (and best time is now due to the road is all torn up). Mosquito are breeding like mad in the water. What helped for me when I flood arrogate was Mosquito Dunks from Summit.

Don’t forget the water you put in that radiator when cold weather hits. On a side note, we had a cat excavator in the mid 90s that always from brand new had trouble walking and simply would not turn without help from the bucket/boom/swing gear. Maybe a hitachi weakness?

Dang you guys are an example of having fun when you can and working when you must!! Hahaha. Sure is fun to watch

Boundary Tractor is open Saturdays and can build hydraulic hoses.

This guy is living every boys dream! Wow!

Riley: remember, this is a “what we’re doing channel, not a “how to” channel.😂😂😂😂

Big boys w/Big Toys.... AWESOME YOU GUYS FUN IN DA HOOD...👍😎

I agree with the fire engine ! You both young men have way to much fun working , always stay young !!

You are having too much Dam fun, man . Wish I were young again 74 and still young at heart . I used to run heavy Equipment For a living and drive tractor-trailer 50 some years.. loved it when I was younger. Lol Have fun. Be careful. Love you guys and the newcomer to the Videos.

Exciting stuff!! Like the channel! Oh ya!!😊 Nice footage!

Ha... clinometer aka clino. Nice work with the equipment. Good practice for the MTB flow trail and rock crawling challenge course. Keep up the good work and hope the equipment stays together.

My husband would consider it an honor to crawl to your house 😂 94 discovery would love the trip

The heat, wires & amps they cook. May have to put a new wire-harness in that area. All these earth moving machines constantly need maintenance, there in no way around it. Grease them every day. Check the fluids everyday. GOOD LUCK! Be SAFE!

You guys are freakin nuts! Love it!

Riley, My wife and I discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago and decided to start watching from the beginning so we are trying to catch up! Holy Smokes! Work around our house has ground to a full stop because we are busy watching you and Courtney! Back in 2001 we bought a couple of acres in central Indiana and built a house! We should have videoed that! We had many similar adventures to what you are having. Watching the two of you is bringing back so many great memories of what we did! You guys are doing great! Thanks for sharing the "victories" and the challenges! Mike and Deb

Hi from Tampa Florida. Love your channel.

Kind of the perfect video to be sponsored by Policygenius, we have fires, and dubious rock crawling. The water is interesting, I'm surprised the water didn't drain down the hill.

I’m a bit jealous of your hard rock - awesome building material. My mountain is all soft rock, ok for fire pits.

Riley the wrecker instead of Reckless Riley.😂😂 I really enjoy watching your videos.

Insurance company sponsor a synergistic partnership 😂

All your videos are great, but this part of the series is by far the best!

Hello from Rockwall TX

I watched ( many times) up to 15 D11’s at a mine site I worked at doing dozer push clearing. A very fast and relatively cheap way of getting spoil off the coal. Draglines re the best option but not always available. I was always fixing radios or networks on those dozers Great to watch for sure. Even let me drive a D11 once!

Good afternoon Riley, Courtney & Baby Oliver & Friends! Always Love your videos! 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

Riley maybe you already have this in place but if not I highly encourage you to keep a road rated vehicle parked just down hill of the rough construction area for emergency access to the highway. You have a baby now and fast access to a hospital is critical Sorry old retired white guy from NC here. Love the road construction videos!

Thinking this was Reckless Riley's way to say he needs a Shop Vehicle Lift installed, or he is also fine using the highly portable CAT Excavator as a workaround ;)

Hi from Renfrew Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Using just water in the radiator on the D8 may end up damaging the engine. You need special coolant to prevent cavitation to the cylinder sleeves. Cavitation will cause little pinholes from the water jacket to the cylinder.

Nothing sketchy about what you’re doing Riley! Remember you have a responsibility to stay safe for the family of yours!

Great job running the excavator Tyler

17:30 - Oh, the irony. Literally just a couple of minutes following a PolicyGenius spot with Reckless Riley contemplating calming down now that he's a father! I have a sneaking suspicion that that cat is going to have a very hard time changing his spot!

Best part of my week, thank you guy's!

Reckless Riley no more. How about Radical Riley? Pick up the Jeep with an excavator! Pretty radical if you ask me.

watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

Excellent thumbnail swap to the excavator house engulfed in flames 🔥🔥🔥

That just looks like way too much fun in that dozer!

Good Morning 🙋‍♀️❤

Great job running the cat Riley

Great video Riley and Tyler

I really love your channel. I've seen you guys grow over the years in many ways. Your filming quality has been much improved, I'm sure it slows down your work progress while always trying to get the best shot, but I appreciate it! Keep it up you three! 😁

Every rock-crawling club should have an excavator rolling sweep -just in case. 😂

If it wasn't so far from Norway to you I would spend my holiday as a volunteer and help you out with the Hitachi, as a father , former mechanic and heavy equipment operator for some years it would be a pleasure helping you to get some hours with your son and wife now and then 😊 Have a nice summer and keep up the good work and positive attitude 🤗

With that Jeep rescue, I think you have one-upped Trail Mater!

Wow, another amazing job by ya'll! Well done!

Love your adventure Riley you inspire me to get busy on my property love your families content.

Nice guys, good one.

Another great video guys.❤
