   i want a set  wonder if they'd work in sand

Reminds me of these from back in the day, but without having to take your wheels off first:

[hatersaurusrex]

And actually I just realized, the only way that can work would be to keep your truck in reverse the whole time.    Wouldn't that play hell on your tranny and diff under those kinds of conditions?

*** edit ****

nevermind at the start of the vid it shows the wheels going forward.  must be another set of rollers between the tires and the treads.

No, it works in drive.  Look at the video again.   

[hatersaurusrex]

Yeah I saw that after I went back and watched again Skip.  On their website you can see a closeup and there are some rollers with dogs sticking out to grip the tires that drive the treads.   One of the few times I wished I didn't live in Florida.  I'd love to use these badboys on my CJ.

I've seen that before, it's a really cool invention. I'd like to get up close to some of those and see how they're made.

I wonder what keeps them from "launching" right out from under the truck?

[dyslexic teddybear]

Interesting.


I just want to see what happens when they find a deep ditch that the wind has drifted flat......

[Indygenerallee]

Very cool!!
