Snow Trac in Iceland
- Thread starter villi
- Start date
Villi . . . thank you for the excellent photos of your exhaust system! I need to print those out and post them on my shop wall because that is exactly what I need to do! As you know from talking to the Salvage Squad producer and seeing their photos, my exhaust goes out the front. On windy days it is fine. When I am moving it is fine. But the cabin fills with exhaust when I am stopped on calm days!!! I have a lot of "to dos" on my Snow Trac and 90% of them are to fix the things that the TV show screwed up when they supposedly "restored" the unit I own. Mechanically mine is solid and sound, but the details and some things are just crazy. Sometimes I wonder if it would take me less time to strip it down to the frame and start over!
What type of radios are those (VHS, SSB, SW, etc)?
Is the one on the dash a cell phone?

I am going to remove mine as well. They are loose and just add to the racket in the cab.

Hi you can see the diffrents of the tracks pics 1 with 3 rubber belts is more danger to build up packed snow under the wheels and it can jump off the track in wet snow. and pics 2 the track with 2 rubber belts is more open but instead the guards for the wheels are much lower so it is better to have the snow gards on !!!!!

The problem would occur if you camped out over night with alot of build up on your tracks. Then that would freeze up and then you would have some serious ice problem.

Yes slack is alway a problem on snowcats of any kind. I try and keep mine at specs. We are currently having a snow storm and I need to go out and adjust my tracks. My Snow Master is to wide for my small shop. Oh well I guess I have to tear it down and build a bigger one! Now "DMiesner" has the shop!
No more snow for me.
You need to come here and I can show you what a real forest is.
But I also need to visit Iceland so I see first hand what that nation is like. I was reading about a Land Rover trip through southern Iceland and the Land Rovers got stuck in a snow storm and could not get back to a road. There were 4 or 5 Land Rovers in a group. All the people were on vacation from America. They left Reykjavik and drove east toward Hekla. They lost one Land Rover in a river. The article was very interesting. I kept thinking that the people were stupid, the should have rented Snow Tracs!

The article showed modified LR Discovery models, with elevated snorkle air intakes, elevated exhaust stacks, big off road tires, etc. Not the country club cruisers that rich people drive here to their golf outings.
Hey Villi, is that a forest in the background of that picture? Over on the far right side? 
The photo below shows the entry to the driveway across the street from my poperty. For small stands of trees like that we call them "woods." Trees in that stand of woods range from 20' to 75' tall (7 to 25 meters tall).
"Woods" or "wooded land" can occupy several hundred acres. When the "woods" begin to occupy large tracts of land (perhaps thousands of acres) then we call them "forest." The area I live in is semi-wooded, and borders several hundred acres of wooded land.
