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

Thanks for al the compliments

the extra antennas are for VHF long range radio, CB short range radio and the last was for NMT phones(which has now been turned of in iceland).

Awesome!!!!!! Arctic trucks are the coolest!
How about some action shots!!!
Thanks for the pic !

I haven´t seen much action yet, I just recently got the truck in my possession but I will put in pic as soon as I see action.
My old truck was 60 series and he was also on 44"(just with more modifications) I have alot of action pic on him

You can see some pic here in this thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/40087-60-series-registry-95.html#post7415573

Any updates on the truck? Its almost winter again.

 

[92LXAZ]

For sure, new guys need to get in on this one.

 

[Magni81]

Waiting for the snow

Finally some update guys.

There´s not much snow jet but I have been working on the truck this summer a bit.

I build 2 drawers in the back: Here are some pics.

I used 12mm wood

Fitting before I start on the drawers

I shortened the drawers and made a box at the front

The drawers slides are on the way from usa

Ready. Will put carped or some on the wood and the drawer slides when they come

New paint job

New paint job finally

Couple of before pictures. The body was in bad shape of rust.

Finally started.

I decided since the truck was getting a paint job to order new headlights, turn light and break lights

Here is the results:

This is how he looks today. Still have some small stuff to finish up but I will finish them before the snow

I would happily do that if I had any drawings...:whoops: I made the on the spot and just custom fitted them in.

If you would insist I could try to measure them up and post them here

Btw thanks for shipping the lights for me.

I made some measurements. Hope this will help. You can see the pic larger if you click it.

Ask me iff you need any other measurement

Finished tonight putting the drawerslide´s on. They are heavy duty, double. I can pull the drawer out 75cm.

Wow, a diesel powered Saint Barnard. You need a keg on the front next to the winch.
