You could use andymark's track drive. However, bumper mounting is going to be a pain with them, although technically you could buy the track and pulleys separately and design your own configuration, but they're pretty costly.

Another option is using brecoflex.com custom tracks. I haven't looked at it as much, you can buy tracks without having to splice them.

On the other hand, as quoted from another thread, Build Season may not be the time to experiment with such drivetrains.
