You can actually buy those pretty easily (maybe from toyota if you know the right people). They outfit the Cruiser ambulances in vic and tas snowfields with them iirc. They are a bit expensive but they get bought/done at the same time as the 3rd door is put on the troopies.
Would be awesome fun to see how they go....dont know why you would need them in qld?

wonder what top speed you can reach with them. you'd think anything over 50km/hr would tear them to pieces

Come to think about it, caterpillar tracks on your Landcruiser would totally be unnecessary on Stradbroke Island. From the ferry terminal to the beach are two long bitumen roads, (East Coast Rd & Mining Company Rd) where the speed limit is 80-100km/h. Something like that would only be useful on the beaches if it were high tide, having to drive on the softer sand.
