These Kits Used to Turn Snowmobiles Into ATVs, And We Should Bring Them Back

Snowmobiles are hellaciously good fun. And in recent years, they've become some of the most capable machines on the planet, able to tackle whatever the deep backcountry powder can throw at them. But in today's economy, where every dollar is stretched that much thinner, a one-hit-wonder, even one as dope as a snowmobile, isn't always the best investment of our hard-earned money. 

Why am I saying this? Because once the snow is gone, your snowmobile is stranded, sitting in your garage or shed, collecting dust, and waiting for the first big snowstorm of the year to hit...6 months from now. 

But once upon a time, there was a way to stretch the use of your snowmobile. There was a way to extend its use case. There was a way to hear its awesome two-stroke high-pitched scream well into the spring and summer riding seasons. And it all came as a kit that you could use yourself in the comfort of your own garage.
