I'm just admiring your 4x4 vehicles and what you do in Iceland. Here in Aus we tend to worry more about mud and dust - more dust than mud lately. I'm impressed with the size of tyres you can use. I'm about to raise my Patrol and currently run 33-inch tyres. I'd like to go to 35s but we're very mindful of the lack of power of the Patrol 4.2 TDi. Out of factory we only get approx 80HP at the rear wheels. I've got some mods made which I now get 110HP. A little better performance which was needed when I went to the 33-inch tyres. What engine mods do you guys do to be able to drive those 44-inch tyres and all the stuff you carry at the back. Yes I'm very jealous. I'd love the 44-inch solution but I wont be able to fit on our crappy road systems in Australia. Let me know what sort of engines you have available to you and what sort of power you are able to achieve.
