    Bunch of stuff bolted on, some cool, some not
    It has the added feature of looking badass for a jack, looking up the nearest O'Reillys near me.

    Maneuvering the thing would be worse than the Badlands Off-road, I suspect, given uneven-enough ground on the trail. People already say maneuvering the Badlands is hard in small garages. I suspect that someone wants to take a bite out of HF business in non-garage-limited floor jacks.

    I had a toy bulldozer as a kid. Anyone who has pushed treads through a sand box or made it go around a turn will know exactly why this is a stupid idea.

    But, I'm sure it will sell.

    Half-tracks in WWII were a good idea for muddy terrain. But those tracks were driven by internal axles instead of hoping the treads moved if you push hard enough.
