The Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro may already be a capable offroad vehicle from the factory, but the wilds of Iceland can be unforgiving for even the stoutest machines.

What was there to be done, then, for one owner who wanted to Iceland-proof their Tacoma? Enter Iceland-based outfitter Arctic Trucks, the company to go to when you need to cross the most inhospitable places …

Love the grill cutouts for those lights. I also dig the fact that these trucks are dressed up with superfluous add ons like huge bumpers and what not. Their use demands big tires, and that's about it, so very little lift over what is neccesary to accomdate the tires.

I'd definitely let them whip their magic on my ute.

That sounds funny.

Iceland glacier crawlers are very cool. We saw this one when we were there in 2006.

Good for what it does, for sure. Those things are all over the place in Iceland. 

Here in the US, bros would love those tires to make sure they get to the mall safely in their big pickups....

I'm happy every time I see an Arctic crawler.

I always think they look like Monster truck puppies.  Big massive Paws but haven't grown the lift kit yet.  

 

I think those flares would be great on a TRD Sport dropped low with 355/30/19 stickies.

Can someone pronounce Hakkapeliitta for me? I want a set just for the name.
