A front and rear sup frames were built under the Santa Fe to fit the portal gear and hold new suspension and steering system. Large fender flares were fitted to accommodate the Arctic Trucks 38 inch tyres.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Arctic Trucks expedition team arrived ahead of Patrik Bergel to prepare the support vehicles for the mission. \u00a0The support trucks, which have all serviced many expeditions in previous seasons, would spend 10 months during the Antarctica winter before being digged up again. Strong winds pack snow around the cars and around the engine but the interior normally is well preserved as the team would tape up all breathing holes before leaving. For this particular expedition three support vehicles were used: two 6&#215;6 AT44-s and one AT44.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221;
