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.

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

[w squared]

Yeah...for the skeg and snow in that neck of the woods, the mat tracks would probably work pretty well.

[specialk]

does he still have to carry a spare... 

[Immortal]

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.

[specialk]

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..

[dac]

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
