I will try to answer some of your questions.
1. You are right! The tires are mounted backwards, (i.e. right tires on the left side) We where just testing two almost identical trucks trying to find out if the traction in the snow would be bee different between the trucks. No result up to now. Also if they would create less noise on the pavement, the probably make more noise mounted backwards. I will move them back.
2. The volcanic eruption is over (at least for the time being) Here is a link to a web cam pointed at the mountain “Eyjafjallajokull” http://eldgos.mila.is/english/. I think its fog there now so you don’t see much.
3. The fenders are custom made here in ffice:smarttags" /><ST1
lace w:st="on"><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
</st1:country-region>Iceland</ST1lace> by a friend of mine. Sry, we have not made mouldings jet but it can be done. But there are similar fenders available . You can see them here:

You can almost get fenders fore all tiresizes build in Iceland</st1:country-region></ST1lace

4. Yes the axels have original centre tire inflation system. This is the control panel for the tires and air suspension. The meters for the tires are very accurate, plus- minus 0.1 psi and cost about 200$ each (5) . Expensive!

Hope you like it.
