something diffrent (snowrunning)

[Talos]

me and a few friends went on a 12 hour highland trip thingy, thought I´d share some pics, this was the first time I really offroaded my HJ-61 on the new tires

here goes

first stop

the course was set ontop of that old volcano

here we lowered the tire pressure to about 6 psi

...I beg to differ

getting the air out...

here the patrol (grrrr..) got up a bit before us me and the hilux are the little black dots there

nissan patrol

getting there

giving it the beans

King of the hill

new tires did ok, the tire pressure here was 4 psi I think

next the course was set on a nearby glacier, on the way this happened, but you´re not stuck untill you get the rope

easy does it

getting there

the bellymarks

getting ontop of the glacier

the Hilux

I´ll let that be the last one

looks like a lot of fun. haven't seen that much snow in a long time. actually I don't think i've ever seen that much snow. rig looks great. as soon as i saw those fenders i knew you were in iceland. nice..

Air down more

the lowest I went was 3 psi

when we started the ascend on the volcano I had 4 psi but at the top it as more like 5-6 psi because of the height difference

and then on the glacier we went from 608m to 1280m and had to air down again.

the difference between 5psi and 3 is amazing, would have gone down to 2 psi if things got more tough

Awesome pics. Now that is snow runnng. Are the single headlight something to do with Iceland? I see all three vehicles have only one on?

lol, it was purely accidental.... both lights worked on the hilux in the beginning of the trip, guess it felt left out and blew one

...pirate theme?

Can you still get a patrol over there? I've only seen two in my life, they were old and beaten.

we´re drowning in them over here, one of the most common 4x4s

That looks amazing. I miss being on glaciers. Do you have to cross any rocky moraines or are the glaciers pretty clean? They look pretty clean.

Amazing. I have so much to learn. Just driving my stock 62 around Seattle feels like a waste! Bring on the glaciers.

Very cool! What's the smallest tire you could run and still get somewhere out there?

 

[JeffJ60]
