I would love those for up north! Always thought a tracked wrangler would be awesome for the winter.

I would rather have bolt on tracks like http://www.americantracktruck.com/ or https://www.mattracks.com/ The drive on tracks sound cool but your tires are friction driving them and could slip.And the drive on ones looks like it takes time to set up vs a jack and taking a wheel off.

I also like the bolt on ones vs. the drive on setup if I had any need, which I don't just like them after I had saw them featured on a TV show a few yrs. back.
