Never seen a Jimny on tracks, although I have seen them fitted to other makes over the years. It's something that pops up every now and again, but never becomes main stream. 
Dread to think how long those kingpin bearings are going to last 

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

amazing what a search of the web reveals.  Didn’t think anyone could improve a Jimny.

Pretty amazing if you get enough snow.

Here is a company offering a track system for a Jimny....

The tracks they use are sold in the UK for [large] quad bikes.

While the tracks are cool, I think if I had that kind of spare cash I might prefer an atlas transfer case.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

 Not exactly a jimny but it's a tracked 4x4 
I came across a few of these while serving in the 80's in Norway, Germany and few other places.  Not many made and all had SP registration( special project) never actually commissioned into  General service but used by some

An old idea, but not to popular for some reason.

I liked Alpbach, some very nice walks from there. And Schrodinger's grave of course.
I have seen a Fiat 500 with tracks - not in Alpbach, but in the Dolomites.
