    It has a 4-link system in the back, extra fuel tank it´s 35 gallons and a fulepump so you can fill the orgina tank while driving, it has a 4:88 and a front air lock, it has ranco 9000 shocs in the back and 3" light racing struts in the front, Artick trucks tires 38"x15,5" we had to change the brake system and use brake pumps from landcruser 80 and the brakedisk is built by artick trucks in Iceland ,we did this so we could use 15"x14" wheels for better flote on the snow when you let the air out, It has a lift kit about 2" only on the boddy and then the flairs and running bords,2x air pumps one for the tires and one fore the locker, KN filter, fluricent lights under the car and some lights in the front. inside is the GPS, VHF, CB, and NMT phone and I can´t remember anything else
    Why have a 4wheel drive truck at all ?

    I like to go where no one else CAN go. Like in Iceland you can almost drive over the hole country in the wintertime:D There is not a thing I like more then going on a winter weekend trip. Then we drive to the mountains on friday after work it can take from 4 hours to 12 hours dependes on how much snow and the wether. On saturday we usually go on some off the glaciers, upp there you see somethings that you don´t see anywhere else, and the driving is just fun, sometimes you can drive up to 90 miles ph if it´s not to bumpy just fun and on sunday we go home. It´s hard to explane how fun it is you just have to try it for yourselve:) here are some pics of what you can se up there

    Working on that...
    I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Man vs. Wild. The guy's name is Bear Grylls and he's a hardcore British adventurer. ex-SAS, summited Everest, I think he holds a world record for altitude reached in a paraglider, etc.
