30 years ago, my friend made a VW trike and 'altered' it for winter use. (Never actually made it on the road) It didn't have tracks just paddle/mud tires. he ended up adding V-wings to the front ski starting about 1/3 from the front to the back. Made a big difference in lift and turning. Don't know if that would help, but worth some thought.J.W.
Love Mustie's channel, I saw his video of the day he stopped over. I lost a Ford Bronco II because of a transmission cooler line leak, do get that fixed.
Deep snow it'd probably need wider tracks plus wider front ski, but may just be impossible. Snowmobiles have it right down the middle for a good reason lol
Well I gotta say this is a very cool machine even if it's temperamental and doesn't like the fresh deeper snow. Once it get running better it'll be more fun I think and not just a struggle IMHO anyway LOL. I love the Dad jokes and you laugh and smile is infectious! Thanks! Subbed!
It might be more practical to put wheels on it and use it in the summertime. The track system seems too small for the weight of the vehicle. If you're able to upgrade this to a bigger track system then it may work better.
Could be completely wrong about this but i think the tracks are reversed. the rase is supposed to be in the front for crawling over obstacles. just like a tank. That's why it did better in reverse
That style of track is no good in any deep show, especially wet snow and they take a lot of power to turn. I wanted a set for my atv and after trying a new demo atv with a set on I quickly changed my mind for many reasons. Since then I saw many people stuck or having a hard time with them. You would be better off using two identical short track snow machine tracks, it would take some time to build but would be much better. And as others mentioned a wider and longer ski would help a lot.
Is this the same guy who busted Mustie1s chain guard 😅
Yes that’s me! He always brakes my stuff so I had to return the favor! Haha!
That's the guy.....he has been on mustie's channel. Good idea getting mustie to help fix the trike. Seems a good chap. 🤷
Hell yea.. lol
I was hoping y’all would try to go across that lake.
The chain guard and the back frame, yes. It looked like a lot of fun, I've done plenty of things like that, I'm my own wort enemy sometimes 🙂

It needs a trip to Mustie's healing rack.
Might want to think about putting a dual ski set up on the front. That would help the front float over the snow rather than digging in.
Was gonna suggest the same thing.
Either that or find a much wider single ski, that may not take as much modification.
The way this thing was running your lucky the motor didn’t blow. Take inside to work on changing oil,spark plugs and give full tune-up. 😯
It was lame as a moped
That’s awesome man. When you and mustie collab is always fun to see.

Really enjoyed the video. You guys know how to have fun.

Send it over to mustie 1 shop to be repaired I want to see some top end. Moving on to the rare Porsche
I will get in my shop and get it tuned up. I agree it needs some full sends!! Remember I only had my homeowners kit. Thanks for watching!
I thank you need a wider front ski. That one is too narrow to get it up on top of the snow.

It started out as a motorcycle trike, so he could convert it back for summer use.

Great video and once you get the bugs worked out that thing will be awesome. Love the property man and I'm jealous 😁
Needs twin front skis.
Where do you live Justin.
Is it at Smokin Ridge ?
It might need individual rear brakes for cornering tight.
Need to let Mustie fix it for good, he’ll maybe he’ll build his own
Mustie he needs your help, guidance, maybe your sense of humor. But the Atom joke was good I will say
Mustie sent me 😂 I subscribed
It needs a wider front ski, among other things. Pretty cool though.
:29 foreshadowing? 🔥. Cool vehicle!
A wider front ski with Skeg would help. Battery disconnect and Don't Overfil the Oil. Wipe the dipstick before checking.
I agree
Working on something
Mustie1 brought me here !
That is one hot ride!
Needs a wheel on the front instead of a SKI!! that way when spring/summer comes you can ride it then too!!
best thing is to upgrade to electronic ignition and never have to worry about spark again. Getting stuck, needs bigger ski, twice that size.
Man, snow looks awesome but brutal.
Very cool ,like it.
You got it running....Nice action vid bub!!😎 Arizona trikes?
Lol camera crew was ripping on ya😂😂
Yes it is 😊😊😊
That is for driving back from the bar
That's his boy.. that's cool.
That’s hysterical!
And a fire to boot! Woot!
Those are some silly little mirrors on that trike.
Bro if you run a wider front track,,, the front would come up a bunch😊
Track tension!
Need a wider ski on front
Wider front ski should steer better
You KNOW Mustie has any parts you need in his "parts stash" ...
You haven’t seen my parts stash!! Thanks for watching.
He calls it the hoard!
vw engine is in werry much thing..fun machine
I have that last joke on a tee shirt. 🙂.
Mustie will burn it up!
Aw, Dogs are good.
Fun vid thank you!!
That’s cool

LS swap?? 😂
yep, he hit a door knob
The heads need retorqued.
And adjust the valves. The heads get loose after higher miles or higher RPMs
Fating it up
It aint mine......looks like a George lucas knock off of a speeder
hahahahaha .... just fun!
Thought it was a snow mobile not a fire engine pls don't give up ur day job cos ur jokes are 😔 lol
Could you own a more worthless vehicle?...I feel your pain, peace.
Take it on the “ice flats of Bonneville”😉🫣
