That's actually an easy conversion - bolt on. I was considering a set of those for the Samurai at one time. Big $$$ though :hallo5:

My brother was just telling me yesterday he knows a guy with a 4wheeler with those things on it and another guy that has a jeep with the conversion. There's companies that produce these kits aftermarket.

I cant remember the company, but there is someone out there that makes kits like that for just about any full size truck model. they had some pretty cool videos on their website of the tracks in action, too.

They're called Mattracks. All you do is look up your truck/van/suv on their website and you can buy a set to fit your vehicle. They're also boasting ATV tracks. :thumbsup:

They cant be 20 g's can they... I know that they arent very difficult to convert back and forth

I lied, they are not 20 grand... they are 22 grand :p I had to double check and make sure that they were not including the truck in the price :D

And that is for your 1/2 ton P/U. If you want them for your superduty, they go on up to 29 grand.... I think they take trade ins on first born male children though.

please insert arm and leg :hallo5:

....and they only cost $4500 USD for a set of four track modules for your ATV. That's insane.

Mattracks has some serious competition on the way

I can't wait to convert my Chev Beretta into a mobile Howitzer!

Yeah, you can buy those conversions for most full size trucks now. I think they about $10K for the setup. I could be wrong though. I remember seeing them being installed on a show on TNN once. Probably that "Trucks" show. Pretty cool setup though.
