Excursion mountain taxi
My bro in law ran across this and sent it to me. I thought it was cool.
YouTube - MOUNTAIN TAXI - ICELAND'S SUPER COOL "SUPER JEEP" TRUCKS
MOUNTAIN TAXI - Iceland 4x4 Off-Road Day Tours & Expeditions - Jeep Tours in Iceland
If you look around the site it looks like they have a few different ex's in thier fleet.

That other "thing" was a Toyota Landcruiser.
You see a lot of them over there.
It will run circles around that bus anyday

Absolutely.It handled itself very respectfully for such a large rig
The scratching and pawing on the part of the Toy, was likely due to a higher gear ratio in use.
If they toss that bad boy down into 4L, with any kid of gearing at all, it'll idle up that mess without breaking a sweat!
Good to see the full size rigs out there too

They also have a black Ex on 44s. I lived there for some time. They are extremely well put together. The Icelandics are true professionals in 4x4 modifications. Everything they do is very functional. Minimal lift + large tires = good CG and large foot print. Definately impressive truck in person.

I stand corrected sir, your're right, it is a Nissan.
I was paying more attention to the Ford and am used to seeing FJ80's and such over there.
Completely missed the Nissan logo on the grill.
Thanks for catching that.

The new Infiniti QX56 is based upon this, and the upcoming Armada as well. It's widely popular in the Middle East oil regimes because of it's size and stellar performance off road.
I saw on a site that they only put around 115mm (roughly 4.5") of lift on these trucks and with massive cutting are able to stuff the 44s and bigger underneath.

No worries. I believe it's the Nissan Patrol.

On another site I'm on, there are a lot of pics of them,mostly landcruisers, but a little of everything.
Very cool vehicles
