There is alot of cutting and welding.. there is alot of flex required...this runner was modifyd for only 38"tires. putting bigger tires needs alot more mods

 

wow that is awesome. thanks for the pictures as well. makes it much easier to understand haha. so im guessing there are alot of shops in your area that do these mods? seems like they all look similar as far as the body work goes

 

Question on the radio you are using what bands. Nice antennas
Very nice work done the the truck.......

 

mostly used are vhf radio that can be heard all over the country. Some use Cb radio when in smaller private groops. Sammi in the green 4runner has some heavy duty radios aswell and he can talk to people in other contries. I dont know the name of that radio

Thanks for the info...be safe

 

always enjoy watching your videos. thanks for sharing. looks like its hard to reset the bead on those monster tires

 

Good looking truck... I would'nt have thought about doing a Nissan Diesel conversion...

Couple of curious? for you...

are the retention chains on the mudflaps a stock thing on Iceland Yotas or are they custom? and what does the writing on them say? I can make out the Logo and the Toyota but not the rest of it... I ask because I need some new ones and would like to get some "interesting" ones with the chains/straps on them...

second your Lund Moonvisor... {aside from having two burned out bulbs lol} do the reflections on the windshield glass show up on the inside when you are looking through it? [been wanting one of them too but not if it is going to cause a visual impairment [or kill the fuel economy much]...

Merry Christmas to you and your family,
Aviator

 

An amazing job !!! Your Toyota is stunning ... and you're all a great team too.I'm a new member from Bulgaria and I have never seen such a wonderful Toyota. Our offroad machines here are quite different and it's very interesting to me to see this.You're great, continnue sharing your pictures and videos,so nice to watch them. )
Greetings from Bulgarian offroad fan,
Stefan

 

Welcome to the family Stefan...
What part of Bulgaria are you from? I've had some great red wines from your country...

 

I'm moving to Iceland.

 

agree, no trees to hit

 

Ever since the top gear arctic episode, I've been in love with those extreme snow machines. Probably cause that's where I saw the body style first but nevertheless you guys ROCK. Do you guys run some sort of extra heating set up for the fluids? I'm just imagining how cold it could get up there!
Cheers

 

I'm from North-Eastern Bulgaria.I'm surprised that you have ever heard about my country.We really have good wines

 

I'm a foodie and a wine geek lol...

 

Love the pics! I just traded my first gen for some 42' iroks and 1500 bucks. Now I need to replace my bent housing from our local top truck challenge. I gotta ask how is the job market there? I would love to go wheelin' there some day or move there. I love the snow.

 

As earlier stated, thank you for the detailed pics! It really helps us understand what it takes to build a snow rig like that! Be safe out there!

 

Where do you guys find such wide swampers?

 

Those are Gumbo monster Mudder and they are 15.5" wide x 38"
the wheels are 14"-15" wide

 

Ah. They looked a lot wider than that.
