Hello from Iceland!

Post by step »

Hi,

registered a while ago but finally getting around to say hello!

I live on a farm in Iceland (yep, it's kinda cold here sometimes :D: ) and the Hilux is our daily workhorse. We have a 2005 / 6th gen double cab (4x4, 2.5 D-4D). Many farmers here have pretty extensive modifications (rebuilt suspension, unimog or other truck axles, 35" and bigger wheels) but ours is relatively stock. For now anyway :-)

Also wanted to say thank you to everybody who contributed to the collection of workshop manuals etc., they have already been extremely helpful :thumbup:

Welcome to the forum, sounds like tough conditions for the Hilux to work in, with that said, I guess it feels at home. :thumbup:
Some pics will be great.
Enjoy :thumbup:

Luckily no ash so far, the volcano did a little burp yesterday but no proper eruption and has been quiet since then. Our sheep hope it will stay this way :D

I'll go out in the next few days and take some pictures for you guys :D
