    2005 G500 build by MG Metalworks

    The idea of making brackets to lower the trailing arms has been done. See postings on P3 and BW. All seems successful and all requires welding to the frame. I am willing to try offset bushings on my next front axle rebuild. 1) from Titus ... any reviews...

    W640 Interior LED Upgrade

    Dutch military. Comes in 24V system. I had it swapped to 12V. A speedo shop made a stencil for me and I had a few more made for myself & friends. The color is a hair off if you put both side by side.

    W640 Interior LED Upgrade

    Here is another solution without brighten up your chest. Small LEDs around the dials. Not cheap.

    W460 suspension overhaul

    I have both ORC and red MB/white EuroTruck springs. I think my white spring is too soft. I prefer ORC for LWB. They are stiffer and handles like a G55K going around curves which I like. The ORC also helps if you have the Magg Airtop camper installed. 33 or 35 tires are a must if you have...

    The round engine mounts and 3 point mounting TC are the least desired frame.

    1994 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G290 Turbo Diesel

    Probably a 80's swiss 230ge donor from the interior pics, troop carrier due to the hump on the soft top. No front locker. Windshield doesn't fold down so this is not desirable for me. I would price according to how it well the engine was integrated, repaint and condition of the rest of the...

    Lennson 3c based on G 300 CDI Pickup

    The frame is 461 type. Looks like a 463 frame with may be few mods? It has 2 small X members by the TC rather than a large one like the old 460/461. Not sure what were the mods to strengthen it.

    G-wagen 460 recaro or other replacements?

    Contact ... Guido Matthes | Industrytools | <ebay@industrytools.de> He may be able to help. These are electric heat and adjuster, from 1996 - 2001 i think so wiring are simple. Not cheap but authentic and rare.

    pros/cons? G55 2003-2004 vs G55K 2005+ vs non 55

    My 05 g55k is currently designated as my mall cruiser. I got it new so I grinch if I take it offroad or do any mods to it. It is due for a new set of tires. I am thinking of putting red front / brown rear springs along w Koni shocks and new set of tires. I am tired of bumpy rides. Mario on...

    put it this way ... the wheels are 18in. the front rotors barely fit in the wheels. May be it is 16in but for sure, not less than that.

    pros/cons? G55 2003-2004 vs G55K 2005+ vs non 55

    The G55K has a bigger torque converter so the tranny housing is slight bigger. The G55K also has tons of coolers, i think is was 8 or 9, so there is no room for any else in the engine compartment and inner fenders. G55K brakes are 17in (ATE) where as G55 is same as G500 (16in). All round...

    G55 offroad capable???

    I know the 2000 G55 has the same brakes as >2002 G500. I know the 2005 G55K has bigger brakes; 17in. These are ATE. I am not sure how big the 2003-2004 G55 brakes are. You can tell by looking at the rotors in relation to the wheels. There should be only .5 gap between them if these are...
