What a vehicle, winter becomes much more interesting and to hell with the snowmobiles, anyway there is no great music on snowmobiles. You let us know your part of the country and also the music you like which is very good. I follow you and Kaleo too now. Thanks very much 👍👍👍
Bad idea. I drove for Greyhound Canada for 43 years. We had steering on our tag tires. We had no end of trouble with them. In winter I usually just locked the back steering for safety reasons. The newer buses deleted that option, and we were so glad.
First and second axles steer. The issue you see is with the short wheelbase. WW2 GMC 6x4 and 6x6 trucks are a good example of this situation. Here in NZ surplus GMC trucks were a popular option BUT if it rained the 6x4 versions would not turn on the wet grass due to the aforementioned short wheelbase issue. I was told this by an elderly farmer who attended the prize shoot that I ran for 14 years. NB Turning circles for working off-road vehicles tend to be larger than for on-road equivalent vehicles so that steering components can be shorter and therefore less subject to breakage i.e., to keep the maximum angles down so that stresses are reduced.
It looked like that 8 wheel drive monster had low front tires. Was that to aid in traction, or was it just a slow leak? What engine and transmission do they use in this unit?
@@steinmargunnarsson3709 Looks like a Chevrolet to me, but no doubt they modified it a lot. It started out as a Chevy. We know our vehicles. I also saw a Ford (450?) that was also heavily modified. Iceland does not manufacture vehicles, but they do an excellent modification.
@@SternDrive The front most part of the body is a Chevy truck with 6.6 Liter V8 diesel. It came as a two wheel drive truck. The remaining parts of the body are made out of two Chevy vans. They used the frame from the Chevy truck, but it was inserted into a MAN frame from a full size truck. That was done in order to use the MAN registration as the it allowd much higher GVWR. The axles are from a MB Unimog; two front axles and two rear axles. It has air suspension on all four axles, the front axles are both steered. It has some variety of transfer cases to divide the power between the front and back as well as between individual axles. All axles are equipped with lockers. The truck rests on 54" US made tires. In order to tell the full story I would need to contact the owners and ask for more info, as I don´t remember all the details og the build. The Ford is a F350; MB Unimog axles, 54" tires air suspension and few more goodies. These trucks are used by their owners for travelling in Iceland all year round, all over the country, including crossing the glaciers.
@@SternDrive IF you knew your vehicles, you’d know Chevy doesn’t build anything like that. And IF you had read the OP’s post, you’d know Steinmar’s comment was a reply and correct. The foot is in your mouth, be kind, not an arrogant lecturing know-it-all…
Wow! Language of the Vikings!!! Cool.
Nice truck, would like to see the inside and some of the mechanical!
Nice bus and song.
Now there is my dream rig!!!!!
Paint er black
I like monster truck 👍🏾

Счастливые люди, живут в такой красоте .
У нас ещё красивее
Поезжай в Сибирь и ещё не такое увидишь!
Is there documentation of how it was built? Like info on the entire build?
excellent many thanks from australia.............
You are welcome!

Thank you! I am in Reykjavík, but we travel all over Iceland.
Think it could do with a steering rear axle if it's prototype maybe on the next one great video and fantastic locations
All the wheels should steer!

Sweet Truck,
👍👍👍❤️❤️From sri lanka
Amazing
I’d love to see what the inside looks like. I’d buy one for RV use in the USA
Why hasn't anyone tried putting a single rubber track on a hydraulic lift between the rear axles?
looks interesting, you have many antennas on those cars, is it for vhf radio
yes vhf, cb and hf station
Ultimate....👌
nice!!!

In order to float on top of the snow you have to let the air out we sometimes go down to 1 psi in difficult conditions
So, *that* is the natural habitat of that pickup Top Gear drove to the North Pole 🙂
Off roading Iceland style..

That's what they call convertion
Didn't know Chevrolet built anything like those 8 wheelers.
They don´t. This custom built in Iceland by Icelanders.
