They are sweet, and this has been posted before... It looks like modifed snow mobile tracks for each wheel!

They look cool, but last nigth I was watching the final episode of "The Art of Flight" series and Brain Farm, has a f250 or f350 with them on it. They had to get a snowcat to pull them up a groomed snow slope in Aspen. Seems like they don't offer enough traction to make it worth it from seeing that little piece of video

Doubt I am going to be climbing the slopes with my truck, but it looks like it would add several inches of clearance and help me drive up some snow covered roads.

Of course that just means I'll get stuck further back in the woods.

Saw a picture on the "Art of Flight" and those tracks are snow tracks like those mounted on 4 wheelers mounted on the truck.  The TruckTracks are actually designed to drive the truck up onto the tracks and your wheels drive the tracks.  Could be handy getting yourself out of...or into a sticky situation.

My first question was do you have to put it in reverse to go forward, but then I saw that the wheels don't directly drive the track.  Understandably they will be expensive.... Cool, but expensive.

I always figured that if my 4x4 wouldn't go there, I didn't have to go there anyway.  I don't know what those things will cost, but you could probably buy a snowmobile and trailer for less money.  :dunno:

Yeah, I had previously thought about a 4 wheeler with tracks was probably the way to go.  Saw a 4 wheeler with tracks in an area I was hunting and it was just floating over the snow.  Helped a different guy dig his 4 wheeler with tires out of the snow after he bottomed out and a truck (he did not have chains) that had done something similar.  Of course if I had a truck with tracks and a 4 wheeler with tracks in the back...

What could be better on your truck for that late season hunts?  :dunno: If we didn't talk about stuff like this when the hunting season are all winding down this be a pretty boring forum until season starts again.  :twocents:

This is about Gettiong to where you want to hunt.  Can't get there-can't hunt!  :dunno:  :chuckle:

Just because I don't want them, doesn't mean NOBODY wants them.... :sry:
