Location
Durango, Crawlarado
Vehicle(s)
1979 Jeep CJ5 with 304 V8, T18 Transmission, Dana 20 Transfer case with TeraLow 3:1 gears, 4.88 axle gears, Detroit Locker up front and Ox Locker in back with 1 piece axle shafts, 36" SuperSwamper SX Tires, Shackle reversal, MileMarker Hydraulic winch, MSD 6A ignition.
I have seen pickups that have been modified by replacing the wheels with tracks. Sometimes they look like gimmicks, cool but not practical. I have seen one here in Durango like that. The idea of the tracks is that they give great flotation. But when the front edge of the tracks isn't very rounded or high I don't see it being able to pull itself up onto the deep snow.
Then on the other hand, there are some that really look like they can be trusted to take you out into the snowy wilderness.

This next one is an add-on that looks like you would have to put the truck in reverse to go forward.

I've always been fascinated with tracks on a vehicle. Been looking into building a set for my jeep found a few threads on other sites about building them.
