That is a pretty cool Jeep, but it definitely needs a plow now, to take full advantage of its tracks. :shades Mike ;)

YIKES!!!

Cut a port hole in the roof and mount your weapons and youve got yourself a homemade Tank!!!


I bet that thing would be nice driving on those Ice Roads that they show on the Discovery Channel................

Actually not as it needs the snow for its tracks to bite. Back in the 90's when I was on montana they had trail groomers they ran during winter on snowmobile trails that had tracks that looked like that. The towed the grooming device behind them.

I do not know but from the looks of it, it may have some serious CG issues on slopes and hill climbs making it a limited rescue vehical.

Around this part of the world they use Bombi's on the ski hills, I'm near the Quebec border so everyone has Bombardier on the brain. Our sled trails have gotton wide so nearly all the clubs are using AG tractors 90-120hp to pull the groomers. They look like a Cat hi-drive with the tracks. The sterring is looked out and you steer with the brakes. Large 2wd AG tractors are fairly inexpension compared to Bombi's and Sno-cats for trail work pulling groomers.
