Snow Jeep

[Mr. Dean]

I'm considering on converting my Jeep with a set of tracks for winter cruising the back roads. Has anyone done this or have known someone that did?

I have heard about someone runnin' a fleet of Hummers up in Whistler, offering winter "Eco Tours" with this type of conversion....

If I had the coin I would do it just for the cool factor.Looks like a blast

I've seen one on a trailer, the owner said the tracks were more than the Jeep but it would go anywhere. Would suck to get a flat

I wonder if its cost effective vs: buying a good back country snowmobile.

I suppose you'd have to trailer it to where you're going to go in the snow

Didn't think you could use a snowmobile for hunting unless authorized on certain hunts...

I got a Bud that converted a SxS Polaris ATV. The price to do it wasn't all that bad. MUCH cheaper than buying a decent used snow-sled.

But he hasn't tried them in the snow yet. Just boggy/swamp stuff.

sled doesn't have a heater either

One of my wonders is; If they take the vehicle up and on top of the snow, what happens when ya stop? I've had my share of sleds damn near disappear.

Getting a Jeep stuck up to the doors in sloggy snow would suck HUGE.
But with 4 biters, one would *think* it would find bite????

The deep snow gets anything moving slow. The videos I've seen show machines plowing through the snow untill they get enough speed to get up on top.

Tell me about your Jeep. Year? Model? Modifications?
