Some work done
Finally some vacation, now I can do some work on the truck
Bought myself a christmas present, snorkel from Great Britain.
I plan to put a box at the rear end for rope and othe stuff. It will be a sving out like you guys make for spare tire:
The box also got a paint job and land cruiser letters from LC100, I also plan to put number plate there because the box covers the other one at the rear.
The rear drawer are getting some carpet done. I will hopefully finish it before new year:
Alson fitted Hella luminator chrome blue on the truck:
And finally the Discovery cupholder, sprayed black and shelf for the Garmin 276c gps:

The Iceland trucks are hands down the coolest builds on mud, IMO. Awesome.
I really like the storage box. Keeps the gear where you need it and the elements out.

I agree, fantastically built trucks!

The table itself is custom made to fit my laptop. The rest is fitted with RAM system. Under the console I fitted a ball (fig. A in pic) by welding a plate for it. The hole in the console is just big enough to squeeze the ball through it. The rest of the mount is two fig. G in pic, one fig. K in pic between them and another fig. A in pic under the table itself. It´s convenient to be able to take the laptop mount out of the truck, I only use it when trekking.

Happy new year everyone
Rigged the snorkel on the truck this christmas. Also changed the bearings in the front axel.
Fitting the paper before drilling.
Removing the intake.
It fits nicely on
What´s better to start a new year then to clean the truck and vax him.
The rear drawers are coming nicely. Still have to put some carpet inside the drawers and then they are ready.

Finished the drawers
Finally the drawers are complete:
The drawers slides can take up to 90 kg and I can pull them out 75 cm.
I´m very happy with the results

Thanks
this is the third time I build drawers in a truck (first in LC60, second in Patrol), and every time the design is a little bit better.

Some scenery and action shot´s
From the winter Feb. 2011. We where on the way to a mountain hut and had been driving al nigth long. The time was around seven in the morning when this cherokee fell through the snow. There was a river under there. No one was hurt but the truck took some damage.
I was with my brother who has this 1994 Patrol on 44" inch tires with Mustang Cobra engine. We winched him up.
The scenery is stunnig in clear weather.

Volcano Eyjafjallajökull
5. of may 2012 we went on three trucks on Eyjafjallajökul. Maybe someone remembers that it erupted in april 2010. And every reporter in the world had trouble pronouncing the name
Here we are on the way to the top. The weather was clear and sunny.
A friend of mine has this Hilux on 38" tires.
The center of the eruption. The years before the eruption we could drive straight over there, there was just snow.
Clear skies
Here is where the melted snow came underneath the glacier and broke through
A lot of sand came with the water and when the water was gone there where ice block´s under the sand. When time passed the ice melted and these holes appeared. Big enough to swallow a big truck.
There where also smaller holes

Maybe 2 feet and frozen under that.
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
What brand of headlights are these, where did u get them? Hid lights?
