Today when I was on top of a glacier..
... I noticed that on my truck !! I knew it was going to happen, but this big??
Anyhow, what do you guys suggest ? Buying a new part ? Buying a used part ?
Replace it with a used part, or have a used part cut and put in the place where the rust is ?
Anyhow .. hope it will not get much worse soon :/

and where did you buy them from ?
The dealer or third party ?... expensive ?
I'm also worried about fitting the new part.. think I have to tear the bed apart to put it in.

the chain
Is there so I can strap the mudguard up higher.. quickly.. (you can see a strap there )
It is so that I don't tear it right off in snow.. since there is no need for it in snow.. The chain is supposed to hold it away from the tire.. Have chaines both front and rear.

I gotta ask - I've seen a bunch of pictures of yours and your buddies rigs in your various Iceland 4x4 pics. What's the deal with everyone having huge arse fender flares on everything in site? Is it a trend?

I used to live in Iceland. The fender flares are mandated by law to cover most of the tread that sticks out past the body. This can mean some wide-ass flares for 44" tires...
So no, it's not a trend.
