Toyota Hilux Double Cab 2007 3.0 D-4D with automatic transmission.
It has been modified for 38 inch tires and is currently running 38 inch Radial Monster Mudder. The front suspension was cut of and lowered by 5 cm and moved forward by 4cm (no bolt on lift with higher CV angle etc.) and then there was placed a spacer between the front springs for 4cm additional lift, so the total lift is 9cm. The rear suspension is a custom made 4link coil spring suspension, moved 6cm back and the lift is approx 10cm (rear coil springs, shocks and other parts in the rear suspension is from LandCruiser 80). Auxiliary fuel tank (total capacity 150L) and 2,5 inch exhaust pipes. It has 1:4,88 gears and ARB lockers front and rear, ARB compressors for the lockers and one other on board 12V 65A 175L/min compressor for tire inflation. Garmin navigational system, VHF radio, 25m elastic recovery strap, Hi-Lift jack, pinch bar and of course a shovel.
Other planned modifications are front bar and off road lights.
During winter I often cross glaciers and follow tracks where the ground is frozen or covered with snow the terrain varies a lot sometimes the snow is frozen and we only need to air down to 10psi but more often it is deep snow where we have to air down to 1-5psi depending on conditions. During summer I follow tracks in the mountains and highlands of Iceland.
