I'd prefer this ones: http://www.americantracktruck.com/

They seem to already have a bolt pattern for the Freelander and should be easy to install.

Look to be very similar to the versatracks - I agree that they both look to be a more rugged option than trucktracks, even if they involve the removal of the wheel. Also come ready for D3/4 and RR!

The original Cuthbertsons were developed for use in Forestry work, and were therefore well suited to muddy terrain. The trucktracks web site warns to expect rapid wear in mud.

Anyway, largely academic as I don't have £15k+ Rolling Eyes to spare
