4 Wheeling in Iceland?

I came across this and thought it was pretty cool. Lots of Lifted Toyotas and offroading pics.

Nice find.
I have seen some of those same pics on other Iceland sites before.
I have one bookmarked and posted here that is huge.

Kind of scary lokking to have your rig sunk down into the ice like in a few of those shots.

Did those other Toyotas that we can't get here too.

it would be nice to have one of those landcruisers that looks like a montero(the red one) here in the US

too bad though, toyota won't give us utilitarian bare bones vehicles any more, it seems they're all about luxury now

besides, one in rusted out dented shape with a broken window and a blown head gasket would still cost ya about 7k, if you think about how much a fj40 in that shape would cost

Artic Wheel Flares

While admiring that chunky-looking 4Runner it reminded me...

would anyone know where I could source those chunky wheel flares that the arctic Toyotas all seem to have?

They're as wide as Jeep style flares, but they have that contoured look. I just hope they're not made out of fibreglass

EDIT: I just noticed on Arctic Truck's 35" HiLux:
Fender extenders / stone-protected



Thanks,
Dave.

Not really 'Yota related...

This isn't really Toyota related, sorry, but it's pretty dang cool stuff about 4x4's in the Iceland area of the world.

I just happen to have an answer for that, however you gotta be able to translate and pay for shipping :pat: Fender Flares




Oh and if you arent familiar with Japanese and currency.. The 3rd gen flares would go for $473 USD plus shipping.

Mallrat: thanks for the good starting point...


SHUEI OVER FENDER

Postage YEN 1,000
Vis-a-vis indicatory price, consumer tax 5% is added.

(currently around USD$8.50)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the SHUEI over fender is made, considering the surface finish, just fitting of the connecting part of the body and the moderate thickness et cetera of the product sufficiently, feeling at rest, you can buy.
As for material, with FRP make gel coat finish.



Curtosy of BabelFish, view Shuei's products in english

There's some good PDF files too showing installation. I like the way they look, but unfortunately I'd say they're made out of fibreglass


Some 1st Gen vehicles:
