for a truck i belive they were around 3500 bucks.

as easy to install as a tire change. unbolt tire and bolt these on. the only thing if i remeber right was you cant go faster then 35mph. dont qoute me on that.

they do work great in snow and mud by what the videos show.

I'll bet they out do any mud tire 10 times over. Tires don't even compare. The videos of them are crazy!

I run tracks on a honda rubicon atv in the winter time and they will carry up on the snow better then any snowmobile but they are very slow and take ALOT of power to turn,would not want to try a set on my jeep or truck ,put on a set of boggers and giver ,half the fun of wheeling is getting stuck and if you get a set of tracks stuck you had better find a large bulldozer to get it out,takes my 3000 lb winch doubled/blocked to get the ruby out of the snow when she goes down

They are a heck of a lot more than 3500 for a truck, they run at least 3 to 3 for a decent set on a wheeler, some closer to 5k. Try about 7500 for a cheap set on a truck, all the way to over 12K for the full floating tracks. And with some rigs, you have to put on a trac bar to each track so it doesn't spin the whole assembly when the whole truck gets in the air (or in deep snow or mud). Its not much, just a bar that bolts to the frame, but some trucks have to have it, others don't.

A friend of mine runs them on the rigs he sells; Home Page.
I have wanted a set for the 4-wheeler (don't have it anymore) for a long time.

$20,000-$30,000!? i've even heard of some costing up to $50,000! are you kidding me? at that price, no wonder nobody has them..



if they made them $10,000ish for a whole set, i bet you they would have sales out the ***..
