That is amazing and I need one. Unfortunately I don’t think threads are great for paved roads, so I doubt the government will let me drive one to the DIY store.
Unfortunately I don’t think threads are great for paved roads,
It depends on the type of tread, some are made to run on roads, some really aren’t, or just kind of tear up roads. It’s the same principle as running chains or studs on your tires when you’re not in the winter or not in the mud. If you have rubber pads for contact on your tread, it could probably be better considering the load is spread out much more compared to the relatively small contact patch of a tire. The problem is that you’re gonna outweigh that gain with the larger amount of emissions it’s gonna take you to go anywhere on account of your treads not being as efficient.
Kei trucks feel like they’d be a perfect alternative to a gator. They appear to be cheaper too even considering importation.
Gators are probably way better off-road, but otherwise you’re totally correct
I see your Gator and I raise you a Kei truck with tank tracks.
