Welcome! Don't worry about your spelling, most of us have the same problem. Would be possible to post some build pics on how y'all fit 44s?

[huntir]

[Magni81]

Thx guys. I will put some pic in soon. And some future plans

Sooooo cool. Can you post up some undercarriage shots? I would like to see how they move the axle that much.

I will try to do that.

I love the way Iceland modifies vehicles.

I am also interested in seeing pictures of the rear suspension set-up.

Truck looks fantastic!

How does it drive with the 4.11's and 44" tires though?

I will take pics when the weather gets better, there snowing now

I like how it drives on 4:10, the engine has good torque. I drive 38" Mickey Thompson Baja Claw on the summertime.

On 44" 90km/h the engine runs about 1700p/min

here he´s on 38

Your English is way better than my Icelandic.

Very very cool truck. Looks absolutely amazing!

Great looking truck. I've always loved the built Icelandic cruisers. Just like the built Tacoma James May drove up the volcano on top gear. Does your winch mount up like a hitch? And when you are done wheeling you just let the snow melt. No washing

It was actually a hilux that James drove on the volcano in Iceland
And yeah we don´t have to wash our trucks very often, just let the snow melt


The winch is fitted into this unit(don´t know what you call this)

And then put into the square below the bumber in the middle on this pic. (some words I don´t know hehe).

P.s. the truck is getting a paint job this year, he´s in bad shape.

Thanks for posting build sheet/mods list. I seen your pics on the wild wheelin' pics thread and was curious to know what your running.

 

[greentruck]

Welcome

Looking forward to more great pics. Y'all got some great 'wheeling up there. Hoping to take our own rig in that direction soon, but I think we'll need to turn back in Labrador, based on the maps...

 

[Cos4x4]

So jealous of your truck and your beautiful country! Need more pictures!
Welcome!!

 

[gnomadic]

Great looking LC. I see a couple of extra antennas. What electronics do you have in there?
