Default Track Kit
Just when for a ride on a Grizzly with the track kit... Wow.
They offer excellent floatation with ground pressures less than two pounds per square inch.

That is very cool, does anyone have them on a JK?
How do they work?
What mods did you need to do?

Oh, come on ... you need those out there in the 909. I can't imagine life without these here in the 949 either ...

There is a pretty cool YouTube video of some sponsored skier with a turbo Subaru with these tracks. I was surprised to see just how well it handled deep snow.

That guy with the subaru is actually a WRC driver... he does some crazy stuff..

it would be sick to see these on a JK... although i dont know why you would need them the jeep is pretty capable by itself

Two pounds per square inch.... thats less than a shoe

You haven't been stuck in the snow up a mountain road 25 miles from anywhere yet...

Go heli-skiing and see a JK already at the mountain top...

That mountain pass is only open for two weeks a year unless...

They have there place, swamp, tundra, and snow...

Tried them on the quad... wow go anywhere... leave no trace....

Can't imagine what that setup would cost, but my friend has pointed these out to me before
