Not to mention the road.  Those Mattraks are only rated to 50MPH.

Imagine, put a 6.1 Hemi on the Wrangler and you got a 4-wheel rubber tank tread burnout every red light :pirate:

still gotta be fun. in montana i don't think there are any set trails, just drive where you want. and the snow gets real bad in the winter, so it might be useful, but i'm not spending $30 thou on them...

The only situation I can see them being useful is in snow or sand maybe.  I don't think a 6.1L Hemi would help.  Too much torque and you'll probably start stretching the Mattraks.  The track idea has been around for a while though.

IIRC, those attach to the existing tires so you don't have to remove them.
