I have seen them on pickups and ATV's. There were some marketing videos on the Internet showing them going through sand and snow. Pretty awsome.

I have seen them in action out here on a government Chevy Suburban (early 80s vintage). They kick butt, but cost a fortune. I think they are either $20,000 or $40,000 for a full set. They are called MATTRACKS:

There is also a CJ-3B in Alaska there a guy engineered his own out of snowmobile tracks - very awesome. I think the picture can still be found on the cj3b page here:

I am a closet CJ3B addict, but I'm way too big to ever fit in one :D

They are great in snow and sand, but pretty useless elsewhere. They can't be used on big rocks or mud with any effectiveness. Also, they put a TON of stress on the suspension components...even more so on a IFS.
