Making your truck a tank, or converting your Deuce to a tracked vehicle

[Sumoman]

I found these guys years ago, they have grown it seems. Basically they have tracks you can install on your POV, they have some for the Humvee, I emailed about the Deuce to see if they have a M35 version. Check out the videos, its pretty cool what adding tracks to a normal truck will allow it to do

I am saving my pennies for a set of these for my SUV

[Sumoman]

Maybe these would fit on a Deuce

You'll be saving a lot of pennies. Last time I heard a quote for how much those cost, they were about $5,000 PER WHEEL.

There always seems to be a recurring thread about what they would be like on a deuce. Some say that "it would make my deuce go anywhere." The deuce goes anywhere now, I guess with the Mattrax on it better stop at the bank on the way.....

I had those quoted when my fire dept was building a new brush truck.....we were quoted approx 30k for a complete kit. That was for a 2006 F350, so I cant imagine what a set for a deuce would cost. Way cool, but way expensive......just my 2 cents worth.

i dont think they would work on a duece ,the rear tandoms are too close together i think,but it would be neat tho

Have you seen the utube video of the cckw with grousers? I think that would be the better way to go. I would post a link, but can't from work.

Imagine this in GREEN!

Here is the affordable version. These mini trucks run, what, $4-5K? and roughly the same $ for ATV tracks - I'd love to do some coyote hunting with one of these.

I( have been pondering just this.

I'd imagine they could produce them because they have them for the trailers. I'll email them and see if i get a reply.

I always thought if you had rear singles, you could do something likt the skidsteers do on the rear with slip on tracks. Great for traction and not 30K

The track setup on this truck is neat, especially on the front.

11echo, I didn't know they had those! Do you have the specs or TM?? Would be fun to build!

You might find more info on this setup in TM 9-801
or TM 10-1562.

They used the single track on the rear also.
