    Congratulations!! Definitely jealous of that 550 powertrain and newer tech! Looks like a great rig, looking forward to your modifications.

    Thank you for the kind words all! 6+ Months and ~5000 miles in and still loving it. Finally getting comfortable with the rig and slowly getting over the irrational fear of big $$$ repairs while having some fun off road. Recently completed a road trip out to Telluride and back from Denver...

    Thank you! Off the top of my head I believe ORC might make an aftermarket aux tank, but I haven't done a ton of research into it to be honest. I'd be willing to bet they are very tough to come by and very expensive. I haven't come across many passes or trails out here in CO that have given me...

    G500 CD changer / battery swap

    Great Mod, thanks for sharing! Will definitely reference this when I go down that road in the future. Denver area? What local mechanic are you using to make computer changes if you don't mind me asking? Need someone to change the diff settings to help with my larger tires and the ESP.

    Not yet, wanted to test the waters and see how bad it was without; will definitely change the settings next time it's in the shop. I've read that it makes a big difference, how has it worked out for you? Love the look of your truck and the KM3's! Was definitely a tough decision between the...

    New to G-Wagens, 2004? Yay or Naye?

    Glad to hear it, Colorado is a great place to have some fun in a G Wagen! Let me know if you make the jump. But yes, I wouldn't read too much into the model year so long as it has a good history. I didn't with my 03' due to its good service and location history, we'll see how it plays out...

    New to G-Wagens, 2004? Yay or Naye?

    Sounds like a great move, many will only consider 04'-06' G500's vs newer/older models as they are typically considered among the most dependable of all the MBUSA G's. Most variants of the M113 engine and 5-speed trans in the early G's have a great reliability track record when well maintained...

    Thanks, I've only been out here for a couple years now and love it. Spring can't get here quick enough to melt a little of the crazy snowfall we got this year. Excited to get to more trails. I didn't have esp issues at all in normal city/highway driving after getting the new tires on. I...

    Added the gwagenaccessories spare tire cover. Super slick solution to the exposed rear tire that the OEM cover no longer fits on. Love the look and added storage. Torn on whether to paint it body color or leave as is. Before: After:

    Agreed Metric, it's been refreshing how simple most of the mechanics are. Expensive parts for sure but everything is relatively straightforward. Just hoping to stay lucky on the electronics side of things.

    Now that the first couple of Mods have finally been completed I figured she's worthy of a little build thread. Excited to continue the progression into overland duty. Always been a Toyota guy and will likely end up back in an LC down the road, I just couldn't get the idea of a G Wagen Overland...

    Finally tracked down a clean example after looking for quite awhile. Stoked to be back in the overland world. 2003 G500 Couple of pics from the trip home: How she sits now after the first couple Mods:
