That's why he called the thread "99 problems"
#1. It's top heavy now.
#2. Off-camber sections will result in lots of sideways sliding.
#3. Trying to turn at less than 50 MPH results in a long, slooooooow arc-like shape.
#4. A full sized spare now costs $8000.
I don't think that I have room for the other 99 problems, but I'm sure that some of the guys here wil chime in ;)

His headlights, they are not round. ;D

im ganna have to disagree on the top heavy .. those tracs stick out almost a full foot on each side and those tracs weight like 200 lbs each
but yes dana 30 front wont like it much
either would the 35 in the rear
aparently he hit a hard snow bank rolling 50km and it slamed the front diff backwards so hard the it snapped the trans and t-case off the engine
cant see it getting over 80 km on the high way
but got to say muskeg up here will NOT be a problem
-
Yeah...for the skeg and snow in that neck of the woods, the mat tracks would probably work pretty well.
-
does he still have to carry a spare... ;)
-
only to come out on CJA sanctioned runs..... ;)
-
It may be a bit impractical but it does have a pretty high 'cool' factor. I always wondered how something like that would work on a quad.
-
Impractical - depends on whether it could or is being used for work. I'd hate to see that money go into a toy...
I've seen a few quads on pickups around town with them on. I agree - it is kinda cool. Would be fun to play with..
-
play
I like that word.
It'd also be fun to have a bike with one of those track set-ups on the back and ski in front.
-
This looks more fun then on a Jeep

that Sh@t is so cool but i will stick to my racer over a dirt bike
-
i seen a guy haulin a toyota with tracks on it the other day.. kinda cool. tho i wouldnt pay for it.
-
I have always wanted to drive something with tracks, but I think you'd need more than one engine to take full advantage of it, or at least proper control of the speed of each track and the ability to have some of them go backwards while the others go forwards.. you know what, scratch those dinky tracks, can someone just get me a tank to play with?

came across this on kijiji.. lol

those tracks are made for a QUAD not a sidekick .. but i gues they weight about the same
the tracks that are 26,000 are DOT approved but the quad ones are not so depends on what you use your truck for

why would you need more then 1 engine
the tracks run on your stock drive trains .. you turn your steering wheel and the tracks turn . you drive forward and they turn and so on
if it were one track per side from front axle to rear axle then you would need to change over to 2 seperate drive lines one for left one for right because you would not be able to turn your front steering if it were like that
kinda like a tank
-
but it would be cool, not to mention the zero degree turning radius to have a skid steer. Hmmmm.... maybe I'll invent something like that and call it a Bobcat...

I'd go one step further and install a bucket on it. Who knows, maybe you could sell them to constructon guys ;D
On the subject of tracks, I bet a truck with tracks and a rear locker steers real good... 600 ft steering radius?
