slade420 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yesterday i wrote to a company ( for legal reasons will remain nameless) about expanding their product line. This company just so happens to make track kits for 4x4 vehicles. I mentioned how the smallest kit is rated up to 8,800lbs (gross weight)is overkill for a lot of ppl and doesn't warrant spending the 20,000 when your 4x4 weighs less than 4,000lbs. So today i got a reply from an employee, lets call him Mat*. Anyway, he informed me that his company has designed a track kit for light weight vehicles. He mentioned they are in the final stages of testing, and should be in production by May 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 so if Mat does develop a lighter track and for some freak reason its under 10k will you be buying Mat's Tracks? they'd still be pretty heavy wouldn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on price, i would love a set. As for the weight, the series 88 are about 350lbs a corner. it shouldn't make a difference tho, since you can buy the series 88s, they just a cost a lot.

GrimGreg Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 "Trax" would be fun, but when my vehicle isn't even worth $5k, do you really think I'm going to spend twice that for new shoes? No Not saying there aren't people who would buy them, I'm sure they would be good in a lot of commercial apps that require smaller vehicles.

slade420 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 I realize they are not right for everyone. Personally, I live in a remote area. i look at the terrain around here and it could provide very useful. A ten minute trail ride from my house and you can find deep mud, deep snow, sand, rocks (giant smooth rock faces you can drive on) , muskeg, black earth, gray clay mud. Plus think of the money i can make pulling out people with their lifted 2500 chevys and dodges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
