Hello, newbie here. Saw the tracked Samurai of Dozer Don on the members rigs, but can't find Don. Any contacts here? Don? Hello?
-
Here's my tracks. Different maker than Don's, it looks like. Don? You there?

From Bug_D:

is that your ride?if so how did u do that?
I have a set of tracks built by a guy in Maine - I have posted extensively on them on the Pirate BBS, a bit on the ORC, quite a big amount of tech on the local board here in Alaska, www.akoffroad.com (just moved to www.akfabshop.com/forum/ ) - so forgive me if the description is short:
custom tracks, don't work on anything but snow 'cause they use sliders, not Mattracks.
What I know about Don's: they seem to be the same as I have seen on rigs since the mid-70's - I don't know the original manufacturer, I don't believe it was Mattracks, though.
Here is a set on a Scout:(http://www.kyrias.com/deepmud/fc8098c9.jpg)
Here is a set on a CJ3:

hey deepmud where did you get those and how much were they????? reason i ask is i would love a set but the mattrax ones are like 20 thousand dollars and thats rediculous. thanks in advance, 6feet

I got a screamin' deal on this set of one-of-kind homebuilt tracks - there are a bunch of other home-builts in Maine, not so one-of-a-kind, maybe 20 or 30 sets or more could be running around, and back when they were being built they were s'posedly $4k a set - not bad when you consider the 4 snowmachine tracks could easily be $2k by itself.

Freaky, yeah, but I wish I could contact Dozer Don.
Mr. Moderator, could you email Don my contact?
-
well, no contact from the list moderator - :-/
I have had a couple emails requesting more details. Tell ya' what, invest the time to check these threads, so I don't have to explain everything all over again, and then I will gladly discuss the tracks, including how I would make a new set if I were so inclined.

One more try at contacting the moderator - I have pm'd, emailed, but the messages seem to have gotten lost in cyberspace. I suppose I could put a hijack in one of the threads he his posting in, but I hate to do that.
ebewley - could you contact me please?

Ah, that's the internet for you. I have a few notifications that you posted to this thread, but no direct emails. Cyberspace ::)
I am hoping that you have Dozer Don's email from when he sent you his pic of his rig - can you send him my info?( I wouldn't expect you to expose his email without permission).
Thanks,
Erik

This looks like something you could expect from the Red Green Show on Public Television. ;)

Now if you can fit one big set on a tracker and have yourself a mini tank. It would be a awsome hill climber and mud bogger.Would that make it unstopable?
