Styling looks a bit like a Lada, popular and cheap in Eastern Europe. They made a 4X4 version. Looks like he got a deal on some flotation ag tires like they use on monster trucks.
In Iceland they generically refer to heavily-modified trucks as "SuperJeeps." Doesn't matter what brand. They favor Ford trucks and Toyota Highlanders are also popular.
On a glacier tour I took years back when their economy had collapsed and you could get good deals on what would otherwise be high-end excursions, the driver took me up on a glacier in his Toyota, stopping every so often to let air out of the tires. When they were down to 1-3 PSI, we got on the snow. He had an onboard compressor that allowed him to air up the tires once we were back on the road.
The truck in this photo is part of their network of rescue teams. They are self-funded, not part of any official government agency, but they are volunteers and save people when they're in trouble.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
