Amazing - I've seen pictures of these trucks before and watch one build on one of the channels - HDNET I think. I wonder what fender flares they used on that X. Looks like a lot of fun.

Pretty incredible what these vehicles can do when properly equipped and the terrain was beautiful too.

Awesome! I came accross this video awhile back, but decided to leave work instead of watching it.
Those two trucks almost look like two wild animals playing in their natural habitat...

I love it!
I have always loved the Icelandic trucks. I love how they don't use alot of lift. I my opinion the trucks look better with big tires and little lift.

Judging by the rear bumper height I would say the Ex in the video has at least 6-8" of lift. Those tires would be 40" minimum. Figure that the rims have to be at least 16" and how small they look inside those tires. It is deceiving because the lift is minimal for the size of tires.
That video reminded me of a 4X4 run we just did last Sunday... was fording rivers up to the bumpers and playing in bogs that came up past the bottoms of the doors. Will post some pics and vids when I get them from the other members of our club.

Heavily modified Toyota Hilux pickup. They've always been great trucks, but the team that did over the one for the challenge really outdid themselves.
The polar special was great, great episode, great series.
The new season just kicked off two weeks ago. Gives me a reason to look forward to Sundays since the Bears are sucking hard.

There's some nice stuff there, but the two door EX w/ 103k miles for $18k is way out of line. Smoking some good stuff....
