As you've heard many of the more extreme 4x4 trucks have Icelandic licence plates..!!
When you are in traffic and you just have to do a double take because the tires are bigger than your car!! Now - THAT is an extreme 4x4!
And, for one thing, it is most definitely dirty 🙂

Whatever your definition - an extreme 4x4 is a BIG ASS off-road truck!
Extreme 4x4s are highly modified and custom built 4x4s. Some of them may look like other 4x4s but as you look closer you see interesting solutions. Others are obviously extreme - right from the moment you lay eyes on these monsters.

This is a collection of clips from Youtube (see below for a list of the original sources). In the first clip we see a 2000 Hp 4x4 truck rail at Brantling Ski Slope. This is Kelly Odell from Choice One Motor Sports driving up the snowmobile hill drags. A few scenes from the formula offroad extreme 4x4 action. The strange looking chainlink extreme 4x4 lizard with impressive articulation - but I'm not sure if the design will ever catch on. Also another 2000 Horse Power 4x4 Drag Truck. This time at the Good Times 4x4 Event.
The end is a BLAST!
