Went there in February half term for my bros stag do (all paid for by him, apart from spending money). We hired a super land rover 110 and guides for two days. As the only one in the party with any understanding of 4x4s let alone driving them, i was the driver! The guide picked us up from the hotel and we swapped places once out of Reykjavik. I covered nearly 600miles in the truck and we saw many of the touristy hot spots (no pun intended).
Its a very weird place - few trees and very little snow this winter so everywhere was greenish. The package included lunch on both days and the tour guides (we had two, first was very protective of the truck and wouldnt do anything to extreme, the second allowed a bit more fun, but didn't like me getting airborne
).
In terms of suzukis, they see them as toys and laugh at them, (our 2nd guide did when i was telling him about mine), however, they do modify them like the rest of the Icelandic trucks. I've got a couple of piccies of a few vits plus the usual Icelandic ones and will post them these next few weeks - my external harddrive is currently boxed up ready for the house move.
Good thing about Iceland at the moment - the economy is knackered so they're welcoming tourists like nobodys business. Price wise everything is similar to British prices, but anything imported including beer and food is heavily taxed - we found it cheaper to drink the local beers and eat the local foods

I'd be glad to give some traveling tips if you'd like, although I doubt you'll have any trouble finding fun roads to drive on as Iceland is littered with tracks and backroads. It pretty much depends on your rig how far you'll get, especially if you come here in march as many of the tougher roads will be covered in deep snow or will be muddier than hell.
But yeah, feel free to ask for any tips
I think "Gorkur" on this forum/website lives there!
