So cool.
I plan to go to Iceland
in summer next year with my BJ73, to check out some F-roads.
It's not a Super4x4, though, just 2" lift on 31" tires (18cm clearanceunder diff), but it will be up to most of the challenges, I hope.
Spotting cool vehicles there is part of the experience.
Can't wait for it.
Cheers Ralf

Not studded tyres no.
Its a 4.2 manual.
I dont remember the code specifically , but its a nardo grey type gray with a satin finish.
Ive mostly been enjoying troopy , it was nice of the snow to arrive just as i finished it
I ripped out the old Aux electric system along with an alarm system and started planning the fitout.
Uhh, what a rat's nest. Well done to have that sorted.
The truck really looks great.
Cheers Ralf
