The best part is those tracks ride on those 24 inch tires and I can haul ass without worrying about the tracks eating my tub or skid plate.

By the way, I just measures the tracks, they are 22 inches wide and if you include the paddles in that measurement they are a full 23 inches wide, by the way those paddles are tough!
Whoa boy! That half track system looks awesome. It came out better than I expected and can imagine the traction that thing generates. Can't wait to see it in person.
I think if I had one I’d replace the factory screens with a more open expanded metal screen to allow more air to pass through. It really helped on my Max engine shroud.
What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.
So I reinstalled the full track system back on the Argo yesterday along with a full set of swim paddles. It swims, but slowly, none the less if you can live with a 1 to 1 1/2 MPH swim speed the full track system is awesome. It actually turns better with the full track system, heat is no longer an issue since I installed the factory hood fan that really does keep everything cool. I registered a top speed of 23 MPH with the tracks on and noted that while I was running at speed a lot less power and speed was bled off of every high speed turn. I think I am gonna keep it this way!
Good info for all.
