Putting the "track" back in Trackhead.

Did 8 miles and about 3,000ft of climbing in the Samurai with wife/kid. While wife fed 9 month old kid, I ran laps on a 500ft aspen run right outside the door. Four laps in of good skiing, then up to the pass for some family skiing.

Heater worked great. 20-25 degree temps. Super toasty. Rig went 12mph up a steep sno-mo road with 4-5" of new snow. Comfy. On the way down 15-18mph. No reason to go any faster.

Overall super pleased. Functional, relatively cheap, warm, pretty quiet, and fun.

so freaking awesome.

I have been following this from the start and must say,

GOOD JOB!

Such a great idea, and finished build.

I freakin love your rig. What's your recovery system? You must occasionally got axles deep and stuck. How has the tranny held up to the tracks?

No recovery system, yet. Maybe just a cheap winch in the future.

Tranny is fine........they run these tracks on ATV/UTV's with far less robust components and they do fine.

Yeah if someone handed me one of these that would be my fear to take it out, I know jack shit on mechanical/vehicle etc. maintenance.
