Those actually look like a good idea!
Bet they are not cheap though?

Would be interesting to see how far the truck would have got without them....? 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

Regardless of cost I would bet as a guaranteed fact they'd somehow be illegal also.

Think you can simply ask Urban Truck, they may even spray them in Keswick Green for you... Whistle You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Not wheel driven, but just stumbled across this... (the tracks appear to bolt on/off in place of the wheels)

Might be more accurately described at tyre driven rather than wheel; would like to see what happens in a traction control defender when the tyre/roller interface loses grip.

if it traction is lost between the tyre and the track, the tyre will spin faster, the TC will brake the wheel and it might regain traction?
