Riding a child's mini Jeep across two states to visit Area 51 seems like a completely mental idea when you say it out loud, doesn't it? Of course it does. Which is probably why Ed March and some buddies did a quad conversion on the thing, after quickly realizing that the original engine that the mini Jeep came with was absolutely not up to the task.
And then, to make the idea even better, March decided he wanted to ascend some gloriously snowy Utah mountains on his newest whip. So, he and his friends asked, what if they made it possible to swap from normal, road-going wheels to snowmobile tracks to enable such a method of travel?
There are, of course, plenty of problems with this idea, not the least of which is that ground clearance is still very much an issue. Those snowmobile tracks make a difference, but the kind of deep snow that March is traveling through still means that the inherent low ground clearance of the mini Jeep is sometimes too big a challenge to overcome.
