Thrandur Arnthorsson

Hi, my name is Thrandur Arnthorsson and I live in Iceland (so my name is really spelled “Þrándur Arnþórsson”). I have been an off roads enthusiast ever since I borrowed my father's old Land Rover. Perhaps it was even earlier…

…here I am driving off-roads with my very first truck. This picture is shot in California in 1964 where my family was located at the time. Although it's hard to tell, the truck was bright red and very capable!

I bought my first real 4x4 in 1987, a Range Rover model 1977. Then came a Ford F-150 1987 that grew to 38 inch tires, air-lockers and a four-link rear. Since 2004 the 4x4OffRoads flagship has been a Ford Explorer Sport Trac, built for 38 inch tires in my own garage.

Below you can follow every step of the Sport Trac build and come along on the trips we have taken over the years: glaciers, the highlands, volcano eruptions and the odd bit of trouble.

Welcome to 4x4 Off Roads and get ready for some action! – Thrandur
