I love it , just looks like some sick mad max $hyt , we need a tank differential designed , so we can skid steer , and run a full length track on each side . and maybe a gun mount ....
My Latest Creation, not quite finished...

i love the idea i rode mine in the snow for the first time it is so much fun but its very slippery i love it we got 4-5 inches
My over all score for it...7.5
The tracks are holding up fine, Deep snow is too much for it,... so if I finished earlier I would of rode after each snowfall to acces of my whole yard
The skis are just too god damn annoying on the tires like that. the 'ski shoe' bracket I fabbed out of my old diamond plate heel guards. They're not quite high enough to hug the tire, so they twist alittle when I turn hard. I cant get access to welder to make proper brackets to the hubs, not spending any more money on it. ..although, I'm satisfied I completed it and I can say....ya I did that...
I'm hoping this weekend somebody will take it off my hands and I get some $$$.
*Note: Look close you'll see the new mount I made for the vapor.

I have a bud on the volunteer fire dept. in the township just south of here and they have the new can am outlander 800r outfitted with the full apache track kit, it can crawl up snowbanks with ease, and I mean ease.
thats cool as hell i want to put skis on mine cuz i have mudsharks and they do really good in the snow but the front tires kill slow it down
i am seriouxly considering doing this. it looks so sweet. as for the fronts though i was thinkin of using two flat pieces of steel that are about 2 inches wide by probably a foot long and drill holes in them to mount up to the hub and then running those down to a ski to eliminate the whole front tire and rim. what do you boys think?
make something like this or buy it ATV Tires to Precision Skis Kit, Blaster, Banshee, 660R:eBay Motors (item 310177067081 end time Jan-22-10 13:30:52 PST)

I would copy those exactly and get the plastic skidoo skis so the front is not as heavy.

looks pretty cool. I had the same issue when I mounted ski's to my r. I ended up taking the hubs and brakes off of mine and then built an adapter that bolted to the spindles using the existing caliper mounts.
