hjalti_gto'a 1991 4runner on 44's Ice Truck
Hi guys. The plan was always to put SFA under my truck in front and put on 44 "tires on it.
BUT ITS GONE NOW....
But I decided it last week to just trade my 38 '4runner up to another 44" modifyd 4runner.
Part of its mods are extended wheele base , moving the rear axle back by 10 inches and up front to it has a SFA swap put as much forward as possible
Longer wheel base = more flotation on snow.
four link in front and rear
and alot of stuff i will write about later
Otherwise, It needs some work make it to 100% condition.
But I use the summer to make it ready for next winter season.
5:71 drive ratio
44" Dick Cepek Fun country
15" x 18" wide wheels
AC air pump ,
3 fuel tanks ~ 60 gallaons of gasoline
engine is 3.0 V6
5 speed
Headers / 3" exhaust , K&N filter
Garmin GPS
vhf yaesu
CB President
These photos are older. it has been painted black in the rear part . I'm going to paint it all black later.
And those are the pics i took today

update 27. Nov 2011
The trip was good. No travel weather but that does not stop Icelanders 
My camera is broken and I can not take the pics from the travel over to my computer
But here are some pics i took today.
nothing specal , but the truck shows.
You can see 3 gas tanks under there.. Enough gas for few days of offroading
dampers are too short, have to be replaced with longer Koni ones.
Not much original in the rear suspension. Rear axle moved back about 8 "
The front axle is a 8" Toyota from a older Hilux which has been strengthened ALOT !
the fourlink is from a Land Cruiser 80 series
Special hydraulic jacks to help manage these large tires
The Special hydraulic jack ( lower ) and the Steering shock ( upper )
The Tires are big 44" Dic k Capek Fun Country on 15" high and 18" wide wheels
air crane on the wheels for quick pumping and discharge of air.
There will be a facelift front there soon
The Cockpit , The GPS , VHF and the buttons next to the radio are for the fuel tanks and air pumps , the buttonst left by the stearing wheel are for the working lights on top og the truck.
And the back. You can see the modyfid rear fender plus fire extinguishers and first aid kit
Hope you like this

Yeah guys. I use this car daily, This is my daily driver, drive it to and from work about 60 miles every day. This Truck is NOT a show car. It is being used. The truck runs very well on the highway. 65mph is no problem.

im kind of thinking of building my rig after icelandic trucks... I work for a towing and recovery company, lots of places we wont take our work rigs (they will just sink in the snow) If I had a real snow rig I could make a ton of extra money

The rig on 44" and 5:71 drives about the same as my stock Auto 4runner speed and acceleration wise.
