Question Tracks for trucks

Who know the name of the company that sells the tracks that bolt on to your truck at each wheel hub.

Mattracks is a minnesota company from a VERY small town. i have a friend who moved to the twin cities from the same town they make the Mattracks at.

if you want them for your truck you can get them for just $3,000 a piece- yes- $12,000 for a set of four

How do they expect people to pay that much money for tracks on their truck.

Are these not the guys that got the millitary contract to mass produce these things? I thought I say that on TV about 6-10 months ago. I also thought that it was a teenager that actually designed them and him and his dad built them.

Better start lifting weights to turn that wheel. My god look at the contact patch that has. Most big tires are too much for a ford power sterring pump, but them.

the dad named them after his son, Matt. they have gear reduction built into them i think.

yes, they have been testing them in Afganistan on the Humvees. i think its great that a small town got a huge military account like that.

id LOVE to drive a humvee- already one of the most capable vehicles built- plus with those on them! and the extra ground clearance is amazing.

one person mentioned how hard they might be on power steering but what about wheel bearings?
