Snow Tracks on a Jeep in Deep Snow 

Lockers would certainly help, but I had a thought... Could you install limit traps from the track main body (two per track as far forward and rearward on each track) that would limit the rotation of the whole track assembly around the axle? I would think that mounting the other end to a bracket attached at the axle perch would not limit articulation, but limit the binding/rotating issue.

Lets get it locked up! We're down! That looks like alot of fun! Great video

the limit chains at the front tracks are needed at the back tracks ... your front tracks do not flip (rotate up) because of those limit chains ... duplicate at the rear

Y'all were having WAY too much fun!Would stabilizer struts work? Two struts at opposing angles that would keep the tracks from rotating. Like shock absorbers arranged in a "V" shape mounted to opposite idlers and which would still allow for the tracks to still go over bumps. Think about it.

Thinking about tracks for my Comanche but to be honest wouldn’t a pair of nice sleds suit your needs better skidoo even made a side by side sled years ago that would also work then u can ride them for fun too after u get to your cabin

i put a spartan (lunch box) locker in the front axel ... absolutely amazing ... very affordable

Looks like your ALWAYS going to have to have more than one option. How 'bout a lifted Jeep turning 40's that you could also use for offroading, and a pair of snowmobiles made for deep powder. You could cover all scenarios from light snow years to deep snow years, or if the road got muddy.

I found a video of tracks installed on a jeep liberty that had a stabilizer on each track that kept it from rotating like that. But the liberty is a coil over front suspension without any lift. But it had the same feature on the rear wheels

What fun going up in all that snow, I would be a little afraid of getting stuck. I think the CanAm would be a great machine for getting up to your cabin. You two are so fun to watch.

Hello. I have a 99 Cherokee with American Truck Tracks which I think are the same as yours. I also have electric lockers front and rear. You will not be able to steer with the front end locked up. The rear locked up will just cause the rubber track to slip on the drive drum. Something has to give . Preferably not your diff. There is just too much traction to expect one track to spin as the other drives. Hope that make sense. Also the track flipping over is a major downfall with this setup. I bent a drive drum and spindle from this happening while doing exactly as you did This happened at very slow speed. I seen many videos of people driving fast through unknown terrain. A potential disaster. This brand of tracks are constructed with mild steel and fairly light duty. I think a side by side with tracks would be a more reliable setup. Cheers

Lockers would help some but most tracks suck in reverse, they don't have the shape to climb up on the snow so they tend to dig in. The tracks we have for our sxs does that, snowmachines do it too. The whole assembly rotating definitely doesn't help either.

you need an anti rotation bar on them... ive had tracks on my honda 4wheeler for ten years no problem.... the rear ones have a bar off the axel houseing to the track to stop that...

A rear locker is critical in deep snow. A couple tips I have…….. Those look to be nordtacks and if they are get the anti-rotation chains because you will break something for sure if you don’t. Also take it slow. When you put tracks on a vehicle in deep snow track spin will get you stuck bad. Take it slow and if you feel any spin at all in the tracks back up a couple ft and go at it again. You’ll slowly make your way up and not make trenches behind yourself that the tracks will want to catch in. We have been through powder up to our door handles and made it to the cabin.

I just saw your video are you mechanically inclined? Obviously you need to limit the travel of the tracks ! Chains ? Hello !

need anti rotation bars

The best machine for what your doing is a atv with side by side or utv tracks on it . Gives it more flotation in deep snow and can be run on little snow or dirt without overheating. They also have reverse. Down side is your in the weather when you ride them and you would need a sled to pull behind it for all your stuff you need for your stay.

Mattracks are what to get, those kind are just a liability

as soon that your having tork on those tracks without your stabilisers ,there going to rotate...

Wrong tracks on the rear, Hello!

Where's your limit straps thats a junk setup
