Private Notes
Without a proper tow truck to haul out a vehicle trapped down an icy embankment, the boys build an epic towing machine.
Abandoned to the elements for 10 years, the boys get an antique snow bus back on the trails.
The boys build a rink-making machine in order to host a charity hockey game.
When the only trail groomer in town breaks down on the "snowmobile highway", the boys are called out to do some trail-side repairs.
The northern communities are running low on fuel and a local woman is on a mission to deliver a tank of it by snowmobile. The tank will weigh 3,000 pounds when it's full and her snowmobile doesn't have enough power to pull even half of that. With an engine transplant on the snowmobile, pontoon-shaped skis on the tank, and some Labradorian ingenuity, Corey designs a super-hauler built for the trails.
A local hunter wants to be able to travel over thin ice and shallow water, so he hires the garage to build him a fan boat. Collin and Corey have never built one before, but they figure bolting an airplane engine to the back of a lightweight hull will be a good start. Safety issues and steering problems ensue.
After coming to the rescue of a local trapper who is stuck in the mud, the boys see an opportunity to ensure it never happens again: build him a big, bad off-road truck that can tackle the meanest Labrador terrain. Later, the crew has to negotiate for a suitable truck, fix up a timing problem, lift up the vehicle using unconventional methods, and put on some monster wheels and tires.
Only in Labrador: An eccentric client hires CRB to build a fast and loud hot rod station wagon for his wife's birthday. The guys drop a dragster engine and transmission into a beat-up '69 wagon, top it off with a mean-looking tunnel ram, and scrounge racing slicks and new seats. They get creative in their attempt to meet the client's needs on a short deadline.
When a local journalist shows up with a busted hovercraft, the boys jump at the opportunity to get it flying again. Without time to find or order parts, they have to scrounge an engine and get it un-seized, repair a heavily damaged prop, and build a skirt out of local materials. The job is on track until the eleventh hour when they suffer a potentially catastrophic breakdown.
Without any major paving operations in Labrador, a local entrepreneur wants to start recycling asphalt and taking on smaller jobs. The boys have to scrounge for metal tanks and a burner, build a giant asphalt oven, and mount it on a homemade trailer built from an abandoned pickup. The project is destined to overheat before the boys get the novel design figured out.
A musician needs a tour vehicle so she can travel to Labrador villages, perform, and build her music career. With a limited budget, the boys build an all-in-one vehicle that serves as transportation, lounge, and performance space. They convert an old school bus, and build a fold-out stage while Leander and Ross scrounge and decorate a comfortable interior. And what music performance would be complete without pyro?
The remote village of Mud Lake was left in a state of disaster after a severe flood. Without road access, the town needs to move waste out, and construction materials in, over the Churchill River. The CRB guys lead construction of a barge, while the community pitches in with materials. They salvage a truck engine, adapt it for marine use, and drop it into a heavy-duty homemade hull.
Collin and Corey are hired to transform a client's bruised up Crown Victoria Interceptor into a rough and ready rat rod; they make the Crown Vic roadworthy, strip it down to a rolling chassis and Frankenstein together a body from three 1950s wrecks.
To attract tourists to North West River and make a friend's culinary dreams come true, the boys scratch-build a gourmet food boat complete with kitchen, barbecue and seating for six.
Who says a snowmobile is just for snow? An old buddy of Collin & Cory's wants to turn his spare sled into a 'Water Skipper' that can skim across the lake in summer. The boys will have to make some mods & lighten the snowmobile to keep it floating.
To promote his business, a local roofer wants to repurpose a vintage airport Stair Truck he picked up cheap at auction. Collin and Corey need to repair the hydraulic system and stabilizers to make sure that what goes up also comes down… in one piece.
When a cracked engine block sidelines a client's prized K5 Blazer Bog Truck, Collin & Corey need to find a replacement motor that fulfills his carbureted dreams. TBI or not TBI, that is the question…
A client needs some improvements on his aging SUV to get him safely to his off-the-grid cabin. Apart from arriving in one piece, his biggest concern is running out of gas to power his generator. The boys come up with a solution, but what is it?
The rough dirt roads of Labrador are no place for a high-powered crotch rocket, so when a local rock n' roller picks up for a used sport bike for song, he gets Corey and Collin to transform it into a rip-roaring dirt bike.
A local saw mill operator lands a job clearing trees off a property in town and needs to get his 1970 Massey Ferguson tractor up and running. Collin and Corey go one better and also build him a wagon capable of hauling 3 tons of timber.
When Old Man Winter blasts into Labrador without warning, a nearby Nordic Ski Club needs to get their rescue sled operational in a hurry. Collin and Corey answer the call by fixing the Club's snowmobile and building a 2-person rescue sled.
The owner of a dog sled team specializing in adventure treks needs a way to cart his huskies and sled all over Labrador. Collin and Corey customize a van to get the job done.
A hunter wants her Daihatsu Hijet mini truck repurposed as a mobile hunting blind she can drive through the backwoods of Labrador in all conditions. Collin and Corey give her everything she needs to bag and haul back a moose from the wilderness.
