Our Story
Super Jeeps & Super Trucks or even Monster Jeeps
Our trucks have been modified to crazy Icelandic standards.
All our trucks are equipped with 38” to 46” tyres, this makes it possible for us to access areas where no regular jeep or bus can drive.
With deflated tires driving through snow or glacier rivers becomes like a normal Sunday drive. (Almost)
The Super jeeps/trucks are all equipped with GPS, VHF radios and all the gear necessary for making your journey through Iceland’s wild and beautiful highlands both comfortable and safe.
Modifications (We are crazy)
Today modification of 4x4 vehicles is a major industry and Iceland is exporting this expertise to other countries with similar difficult terrain.
When driving on snow the purpose of the large tyres becomes clear.
When deflated to 2-3 psi, for example, the tyres flatten out creating a broad surface area which enables the vehicle to drive safely over the snow crust. To fit the 38” to 46” tyres the chassis and body are suspended to allow pieces to be cut away and the fenders removed.
New large fenders are then fitted and the differential lowered so the vehicle drives as it would with standard tyres.
Next an air-locker for the front and rear axles is fixed into place. In most of the trucks an extra gear box (cowling gear) is incorporated for the very slow driving needed for crossing deep snow.
The body modification is completed with the addition of an extra fuel tank, extra steering jack, new suspension system springs, an air compressor for refilling tires and a compressor for the air-locker.
With the final addition of a winch, extra lights, a roof box, a customised jack, GPS and VHF radio our vehicles are fully-equipped to meet the regulation high standards.
