Hey everyone, I'm sure you have heard of the company mat-tracks for making tracks for vehicles. And if you know about that you know they cost around $50,000 and weigh a few 1000lbs. And I know this discourages alot of people from buying them. But what if there was a track system the cost no more then $5,000 and weighed about a 500lbs, would anyone buy it?

I would totally buy them. I go up to Big lake almost every year with my family and the group we go with wont let me take my jeep because it doesnt have tracks. Totally wish I had them, you trying to make a business?

Those are 1/3 the price of Mattracks but half the quality and no suspension to speak of.
Along with this you'd need one hell of an axle set-up and full hydraulic steering...

Lol see. No I knew that would get a few people's attention lol. Buying have the design in the works. Need to work out some bugs and get a patent before I show it off. But it would be a bolt on system that all u have to do attach this system to the wheels and secure it and ur off. Might even do it so u don't even have to jack up ur vehicle.
