Isuzu Trooper on 38 inch Buckshot Monster Radial Mudders. The Trooper has turned out to be pretty good in Icelandic off-roading so it is a pity Isuzu has stopped producing them.

Ever popular Nissan Patrol. It is slightly heavy for 38s and the engine is no screamer. Modifications are simple and the original hardware is durable and gives a soft ride.
http://www.4x4offroads.com/image-files/4x4-trucks-iceland-patrol-38.jpg

On 44s the Patrol is an impressive package.

Where'd all that come from? Some pretty nice rigs. I'd love to have access to some of the vehicles they have in other countries.

Ha. My friend showed me those rigs awhile back. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.

pvfjr, IIRC they're from the Iceland area.

They still look luxurious if you ask me. Luxury on 44". They do not seem like they have tons of mods. I bet that they hardly have any flex too. Do you think it is more trend over purpose? They all look identical if you ask me.

they arent really modded for suspensino articulation
its modding for a different end result
they are meant to "float" over the ice and snow, flex istn needed huge "footprints" are whats needed, esp wince the arctic terrian transversable by vehicle is mostly flat

Oh yeah, it's totally for the wide footprint and floating. But still, cruising around in one of those on our streets would be awesome.

The trick is to win the first time you play, that way you don't have to deal with that whole 'wasting money' thing!

those 40s look massive...anyone got shots of the finished rig? curious to see what it looks like with fenders flared and finished

Steeze

The 40's were more of a joke.. The X's IFS would shit after a couple weeks on those. I think Alex is in the middle of his SAS, so it's definitely not finished. Last time I talked to him he said his plan was to pinch the front and make his X capable of driving up a wall, so it should be sweet.

Yeah Alex has about a month or so maybe more depending on his free time. Right now its on blocks with no axles or suspension under it. And major front end work in progress.

That red Defender was dead sexy...always had a soft spot for Defenders. Too bad a good used one runs $30000 +...
