Re: DID ARCTIC

Welcome aboard! Top looking truck..

I was watching Top Gear the other night when the guys were doing their Arctic challenge. The lads had a Hilux Artic truck ute and were absolutely hammering through what was known as the polar challenge (never before had a vehicle participated in such an event)
Now this vehicle took some punishment, namely a dropped and damaged fuel tank which took out one of his shockers, bend running boards. I think it spent more time airborne then it did on snow/ice.
There might be a cheap hilux floating around somewhere :shock:

Actually here is the picture of the Hilux.

Re: DID ARCTIC

Hi to all, and thanks for all remarks

Her in Norway it is much snow and ice at winter, and i like to go fishing at the summer time, with my car i can just drive right out into the lake, and fish in front off my car. :lol:
So the car fits me great. :lol: I would like to get bigger tiers. I have 35" procomp mud extreme, 12,5" wide. on 17" reems. it works good. but on snow it would be betthur with 38"...

To build my car from 35-38" it will cost me about 24.000 US :shock:

They will then move the back axel back 12cm and but on bigger fenders, and drop down the front axel. also change the gearings to 4:88. This price is also with the new tiers and reems. Haft to ship the car from Norway to Icland, so when and if i do this I will get back the tax free on all the parts used. it does cost much to live in Norway.. :cry:

Big is never big, when you like offroad cars.. its a virus.. :mrgreen:

some more pic... hope you all like..

David.

Me out fishing. 40 minuts from where i live.


by the hutt.

where i like to drive..

No roads, no limets.. the free mountains.

Driving up the ski lift at summer time.. :mrgreen:


my next trip for next year. Marocco and down to west sahara .. 8)
