Jeep LJ Firetruck on Tracks

[TJ Starting]

Thought I'd share this cool LJ that a small town about a hour north of us brought in to help with a wildfire that was about a 30 minutes north of were we live last week. Didn't even know they had it.(I was not there to take these pics )

You cant road it to a fire and once ya get there what you gonna do with it, park it and look cool? For the cost of the tJ and the tracks you'd be better off with a small dozer, at least you could do some work with it.

It’s cool until you realize your local vol. fire department spent taxpayer dollars on a useless fire apparatus.

He must be one of "those guys" who is always prepared and shows up in his video game rig to help out.

Maybe donated?

I bet that thing tears up the snow. I could see it as a fire rescue vehicle up north.

 

[HornedToad]

I can see that potentially being useful for driving around on soft hills with lots of brush. Maybe.

Our search and rescue folks use tracks like that in the snow. I've seen Ford F350s bombing down a snowmobile trail because the tracks "float" the rig on the powder. Also seen them used in wet marshy areas to cross big mud bogs and the like. Never seen how they work on a hill or soft powdery dirt.

that's gotta be murder on the steering system. Hydro assist?

 

[suicideking]

I *really* want to try driving that on rocks to see how it would do.

I'll just leave this here. Videos available. $26,500 US looks like.
