Taking your Bronco to Iceland

Yes, taking your own Bronco would be awesome. I'm sure it's not a cheap thing to do.
@jparker might have some info for you.

I saw the video of the Iceland Visit by BroncoNation team. Is there a detailed how-to guide on taking your Bronco to Iceland? Recommended trails? Etc.

I would love to do this and would appreciate some help on this.

Hello!

I organized/planned it and could provide information if you'd like. We are also going to announce something related to this in the near future that may interest you if you are considering going :)

Yes @jparker definitely would love to go. Yes please share your information. And if there is something BroncoNation is arranging I would definitely be interested.

@jparker can you share some information on taking the Bronco to Iceland?

Just so you’re aware, off roading is illegal in Iceland. There are dedicated F roads you can drive on, and those are only open seasonally. While Icelanders love to lift their trucks, most of the F roads are pretty docile compared to trails we have in the US. Im sure it would be a fun time anyway, just don’t expect the same experience you have here. Also, lava rock will tear up your truck if you screw up.

You’re likely to have just as much fun renting a super Jeep FWIW. They got some old school Land Rovers, some brand new electric Land Rovers, and lots of other cool cars there.

Lastly, just in case you haven't been to Iceland, nearly anything interesting is already accessible by their road system. It's actually quite depressing, honestly, to see such incredible natural phenomenon surrounded by pavement, pay-to-park kiosks, food trucks, and tour bus after tour bus. The Icelandic government has ruined many of their natural wonders for the sake of tourism, it's even driven Icelanders away from their homes. There is/was a great exhibit at the Reykjavik Art Museum showing how the government has demolished and staged over the gorgeous natural landmarks to make them tourist friendly. They have made sure you can enjoy all of them from the comfort of a tour bus or rental car.

If you're looking for a really good offroad adventure, the Norwegian countryside would be a much better choice.

I couldn't fit the Bronc into my carry-on... briefly considered exchanging the rock rails for pontoons. I floated the idea past a few people, anyway...

Thank you for the info.

Yes been to Iceland multiple times. And taken their super jeeps to the highlands.

I just wanted to take my bronco for a long period of time to do some long term photography project and hence it would be easier to do that. Based on what I read the icelandic govt allows for vehicles to be temporary imported for less than 12 months.

Will look into the Norwegian off road as well.
