I really enjoy seeing real 4WD vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There are so many highway bound posers that never go off the pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in Iceland is really refreshing.

It is fun to read about other people's Offroading adventures and also learning from the up and downs of their adventure!
