Usually, I have seen those pictured in the snow

Yep noticed that dropping Corkscrew, too. Neat rig

No idea of the point of that on dry ground.

I think it's home owners with money to burn, this is their "snowmobile" to get up (and probably TO) their private drive in the winter. It's not far from where Corkscrew meets 550 on the false flats of Red Mtn

But just as lawn mowers sit idle in the winter, snowmobiles sit idle in the summer....

I’ll keep my wheels and tires.

Yeahbut....why the spare tire??

I guess that makes sense...though I've heard those track kits don't really work in really deep snow that you'd get up there. Maybe I heard wrong though. It was hearsay after all.

Yeah I dunno anything about the tracks...but I've always wanted some. Come to think of it I also want one of the pickups that can lower the wheels to drive on railroad tracks, too. I should probably never actually win the lottery....

We use tracks on our rzr so we can get up to our cabin during the winter months. They work really really well as long as you can keep it on top of the snow. You can stop and start no problem, but when climbing a good hill, sometimes you'll tend to go under as you come to the top and it's really tough to get back on top again. Similar to a snowmobile, but a snowmobile is a couple hundred pounds and rzr is many times that and a jeep is obviously even more.

This is a shot from our cabin deck and it's sitting on ~3' of snow in this shot (we got up to 10' around our cabin this last winter). There's a cabin owner by us that has a 4 door tracker with tracks on that he uses for the same thing as we do and has no issues either.
