Re: Making the ride reddy

What's the story behind the van (windshield, did it burn, etc)?

Also you can use [thumb] [photo] or [IMG] separately. Thumb and photo use the gallery code (like 5437) and IMG works like you're using it.

Great photos Larus!
You Icelanders are mad with your tires
You might be also of advice to us in Europe for parts supplies etc...
Happy converting

Re: Making the ride reddy

Advice from Iceland: "Cut that off with a torch, chop those with the saw, and put the 44s on there."

Do you guys even know how to build a "normal" size 4x4?

Re: Making the ride reddy

Yeas it depends on what you are going to use it for, there are lot of 4x4 Econolines here on 30"tires 33" and 35" and even orginal tires and no lift, thene we use dana 50 ifs at front ,most ambulanc here are like that Icelanders dont like to mutch lift for big tires, its beter to cut some sheet metal and less roll over

this is 4x4 ambulance in iceland do you see the difrence?

Yes I don't understand any of the wording on the van. But I would probably figure it out if it was behind me with all the lights on
