Hey Dick - Its just a marketing saying in rental market) we have discussed it below in details)

Hey Thanks! Just came Back from Iceland that was my 6th big expedition to the Land of Fire, Ice, and Light. That is interesting question. I was looking in to Rovers it would be fascinating comparison between this two amazing machines - the only problem to do so - Rovers that available for rentals - mostly standard 4x4 vehicles without snorkel, raised suspension and bigger than normal tyres. And the Rovers with modifications are way too expensive and mostly from the previous tech age with manual gear box etc... After my various situations in very dangerous experiences with this Landcruiser - I had an instant wish to buy a Landcruiser and modify it even higher spec - because Car shows it self as near perfect experience.

Hey Maria, Thanks! Just came Back from Iceland that was my 6th big expedition to the Land of Fire, Ice, and Light. ill post a few separate videos about River Crossings soon. I have been in to highlands - its amazing but so dangerous even if you are well prepared, So many situations can occur out of nowhere. what have i experienced is flash floods, instant weather change to hurricane conditions, small lava stones becoming a danger with a high winds as they will crush windows, punctures, mechanical issues, towing ropes and issues, no telephone network, lack of fuel - and i can continue going in to the details - but one thing is for sure - this car is a tank, and having it in those situations was a life saving choice, if you need an advice or my routes with a special places in Iceland i can easily share it with you)

Hello, how amazing!! I hope you enjoyed your adventure in the most charming land! I will wait for your next river crossings videos, so hopefully I can learn something from them and get some preparation for my future trip :) And yeah, Icelandic weather can be pretty extreme, although I have not experienced that yet, even if I went there on winter. It was super calm and sunny when I was there on December 2022. I cannot imagine how it gets in the highlands! What a country, it is never the same and it is impossible to get enough of it. Btw, I would like to get some details about the routes you would reccomend, so I can start preparing in advance. Thanks so much, have a great night/day!

Hey Savoy! All info is on lotus rental website when you going through the paperwork. But obviously all responsibility if you flood the vehicle is on a driver as you have to asses the risks and have to have a plan B if plan A fails.

Thanks , this country is a paradise to explore the wild side. Got winter exploration videos . Im i Iceland now, will post soon…

Hello. Next time will try in spring or summer, but there is a risk of becoming a real submarine;)

In case you need to bail out ! 👍🏻🇬🇧

Hello. Been ruding the same area in a winter time now, in a few days will upload new adventures;)

@@AJ-qn6gdhaha)

Hey. Yepp. I think that was nonsense to make it so difficult for us to film it… what is the point of imposing a ban?)

Hello. Haven’t tried a Jeep for this fun yett. But something tells me that you could be right;)

Thanks. Pure luck;) and co-incedence;) expedition is not even halfway through, but amount of stuff happened is overwhelming. completed almost 3000 km in 10 days.

Hello, been a while, i got some crazy footage, my expedition is not even halfway through, but amount of stuff happened is overwhelming. Ill try to find time in few days, From Akureyri, completed almost 3000 km in 10 days.

Hello. Thanks. In few days will get a winter adventures frim the same area;)

Hello. In principle you right, tyres have to be rightly deflated, but this particular video has no issues with tracktion)

Muchos gratias Sebiorita)

Hello Sigis! Thanks man! Very nice of you! I will reschedule blue lagoon trip, as its one of the favourites attractions. Eruptions is huge, but its much different than others as authorities do not let you close to it, everything is closed of for miles around and to get there you need to walk for at least 4-5 hrs, i have lost my drone trying to film it from far but had to get all my winter get and recovered it from 2.5km landing spot. Drone was fighting strong wind and Battery run out;) luckily after 5hrs of search and rescue- mission was successful;)

Hello! Spot on, yhis vechicle is amazing! Giot a new footage, will upload soon!

Hey, Absolutely right, it has been discussed in comments below. but... in Iceland when you`re renting a higher spec 4x4, they call it a Super Jeep, in this particular case manufacturers name is irrelevant. as @LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD has mentioned in the comment below - the first Landcruiser was literally called a Toyota Jeep and it looked like a wrangler... same ancestry here

Yeah when’s the last time you got mad a someone calling an off brand facial tissue a Kleenex ?

@@davidheaton6206hello! Nailed it! ;)

Hello! haha) I'm not sure if there was any real fish in that River) But occasionally, stationary metal fish has been found in the glacial rivers of Iceland) Luckily i didn`t end up of been a fish that time)

Hello! 100% agree. but... some times the horse needs to be taken in the wild and than properly tested what its purposely build for) like a bodybuilder goes to gym to maintain confidence through the sweat and pain, this beast requires same action in wild gym)

Hello! Yepp, Lotus car rental is amazing, been using them for a few years now, Just Low range will do, the Car is a Beast, feels very confident in capabilities. would advice to go for platinum insurance with 0 excess. getting my favourite Horse again. I`m back in ICELAND from 18.12.23 to 08.01.24) Will start posting adventures soon)

Lotus car rental is one of the few company`s who actually have a snorkel, 35" Tyres and vehicle its self is higher than a normal version of a Landcruiser,

my advice is that dont cross the krossa river on f249. lotus policy spefically mentiones this river crossing won’t be covered by their insurance. specially in this river condition, too risky.

​@@PuzzlesoftheWorld I am renting it in July! I always rent from lotus. I hope noone wrecks it before my trip hehe

TSSHHHH STEVE!!! What you doing Man - THiS IS A SECRET!!!) keep it low profile) It hasn`t been signed off yet by Icelandic head planning architect ! :) P.S. - I`M BACK FOR SIGNATURE TO ICELAND FROM 18.12.23 to 08.01.24 for ANOTHER SECRET MISSION and SUBMARINE TESTING)

Ghost Rider)

Thank you, Beautiful)

Called instant LOVE)

Merci Monamour)

Hello ! Thanks! That place is famous for troubles, so many videos were people get seriously stuck and even unfortunate deaths. After my trip have been completed, Landcruiser moved in my car ranking - to another level, it called deep Respect, this Vehicle is a life saver. Apart of multiple crossings, it withstood 11 hour journey on F-26 and than f-910 to Askja. That is Most dangerous road in Iceland. New video on the way Will buy one and modify, with a tents and camping gear. I wouldn`t take a risk of crossing this streaming sea, as current is very deep and strong, but Icelandic farmer whom lives there, insist that i can do it... his words was - "you got a snorkel, low revs - you can swim :) i have told him that he is absolutely right and I am a skipper - good laugh appeared) This Landcruiser is about 1950mm high) His Vehicle was significantly higher (around 300-500mm) and Farmer crossed the river - almost effortless, to show me the path. and than - i did my move) heart beat, joy, adrenaline and relieve with a proper men's happiness... Love Iceland for all emotions She`s giving) But Þórsmörk took its TOLL - it have chosen my drone instead of me) Vehicle was rented from lovely people at lotuscarrental.is Really nice people

Thanks, more crazy footage is one the way) stay tuned!

Hello! Couldn`t agree with you more. Its a tricky business, First i have arrived at that crossing at night in freezing temperature with snow/rain poring down, i had to cross it over as my hotel (Volcano Huts Þórsmörk) was on the other side of the river... At night it was very, very scary... Emergency helicopter was around 500 meters away - saving someone else in darkness. (next morning there was a drowned car at that spot) After considering all pro`s and con`s i have slightly got front of 4x4 up to the level of a bonnet, where it meets a wind screen in the water, the stream of the river moved the car very uncomfortably and kept it tilted sideways, that is the moment when my sailing licence could be required immediately Luckily i have managed to get this heavy vehicle back on the bank with significant amount of adrenalin in my blood:) So i driven all the way down to lava museum, as all hotels at 1 o'clock in the morning was shut, spent a night in the car. In the morning i was driving back on F249, this is my favourite F road in Iceland, right to the end of the road, as you can camp there nicely in beautiful surroundings. On the way back i have approached desired river crossing again, but fear played in my mind. I wouldn`t take a risk of crossing it, as current is very deep and strong, but Icelandic farmer whom lives there, insist that i can do it... his words was - "you got a snorkel, low revs - you can swim :) i have told him that he is absolutely right and I am a skipper - good laugh appeared) This Landcruiser is about 1950mm high) His Vehicle was significantly higher (around 300-500mm) and Farmer crossed the river - almost effortless, to show me the path. and than - i did my move) heart beat, joy, adrenaline and relieve with a proper men's happiness... Love Iceland for all emotions She`s giving) But Þórsmörk took its TOLL - it have chosen my drone instead of me) Next morning i was behind the steering wheel for 11 hours on F-26 and than F-910 to Askja... the longest and most dangerous road in Iceland... One of next videos ill show it in full scale,.. after spending a night at Askja peak, in the evening both roads was shut, because of the same storm, that was chasing meon the way to Askja, and flooded the area, maybe it was one of most dangerous conditions in that journey, even for a Super Jeep felt sketchy ... That was special... Looks like i was the last person who have swam in Viti with water acidity at 1.5 PH...but that is in next videos) Ég vona að þú farir aftur á þennan áhugaverða stað sem einu sinni hræddi þig svo mikið! Ég fer aftur til Íslands í desember og fram í janúar, sjáumst þar) There is an interesting video on my channel about helping someone... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6uTfWCVe5Z4j5o Kind Regards, Ven

Muchachos, Sambreros me gustas) Gratias

in the morning that sounds refreshing) More crazy stuff is on the way) Gratias Amogo)

Merci beaucoup MAESTRO)

Так держать!😎

Ai Ai) Captan@@robotrobot7098

Thank you Beautiful)

I call my Landcruiser a Jeep, its just a term for an off road rig does not meant its a Jeep,I know many friends who call their offroaders Jeeps too, don't take it literally

Hey Guys, Absolutely right, in Iceland when you`re renting a higher spec 4x4, they call it a Super Jeep, in this particular case manufacturers name is irrelevant. i would say this trend exist in many country`s - calling 4x4 vehicle a Jeep. And Marketing - got its slice as well. P.S. And probably these days - Freddie wouldn`t mind to try a new ampluoa as a rapper) Just Joking)

Spot on! :)@@Azureecosse

the first Landcruiser was literally called a Toyota Jeep and it looked like a wrangler... same ancestry here

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! They are looking strikingly similar after World War 2. Toyota should give the same name to a newly released version of Landcruiser :)@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD

Hey John! haha) with current "climate change trend" you`re never know it might be the case soon) would love to visit Australia one day, at least it is in my bucket of dreams)

@@PuzzlesoftheWorld: Yes you should, you would enjoy it. Best not to open the door here though.

Haha) only if i would want to give them a descent hug) i did had e very close interaction with crocs in Cuba, will release a video soon) @@johnwilliams3555

....and colder water...
