We love Land Cruisers and we love snowmobiles so...

(From BaT)
This 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser is a high-mileage (270k) driver that’s been fitted with a few upgrades, the most interesting of which are all-terrain tracks that can be removed or installed in under an hour according to the seller. Other upgrades include a two-inch Old Man Emu lift, front and rear tubular bumpers and remote starting for cold weather, along with a winch that’s installed but not wired. Find it here on Craigslist in Lake Stevens, Washington for $17,500.

Man those "all terrain tracks" would have been a lot of help/fun a couple of ski house driveways ago!
Love us our LC's. Always have, always will. Rumor has it that another might be joining the extended family.
This one's barely broken in.

Gotta love BaT.

I actually saw that posted I think on FB.

Another option is the arctic cruisers.

Lake Stevens?! That’s like 30 minutes away from my house. And frankly, no where near any snow, other than maybe a week or two a year, we’re close to sea level.

@SBrown if you want to PayPal me $17k I can pick it up for you. I’m sure I’d have fun driving it to your place.

Those tracks are great. Our local hill put them on a Ford Ranger for us to use for Ski Patrol plus they use it to move snow guns too.

Is there a speed limit for the tracks? Could you run them at highway speeds?

Not highway speeds. low speeds

I already have an old Cruiser, just need tracks. But thanks

I'd say a Classic LC!

They age really well.

Those tracks are much faster than a cat. The awesome snowcat operation out of Purgatory uses them on vans to get skiers up to where the snowcats operate. It seems like they are probably moving 20-30mph on snow-covered fire roads. They can't climb up the steeper fire roads used to lap the ski terrain, though. So for skiing, I think they would be of limited use.

Here's a blog post Google found showing them in use at the Purgatory cat operation:

Just a measly $10K

They had a pickup truck mounted with tracks at Silver Star, B.C. when I was there earlier this year. The driver said that the tracks really weren't very good in deep snow but were fine on firm compacted snow.
