I don't mind at all...there is a pic of me being stuck in mud somewhere on this forum. However, just to avoid mixed feelings from group members, we don't do it.

I would not buy 2002 or 2003 Gs because those were the first two years after Mercedes introduced electronics to the G-wagens. Otherwise, the G's are quite reliable. I would buy 2004 and up G-wagens if you want all the safety electronics. If not, then you can buy models before year 2000 which were more basic. There are a few minor annoyances such as window regulator failure (3 of 4 windows of mine have failed).
The powertrain, frame, suspension, and body are over-engineered and built for military service. A quick note to this is that the G500 is smaller dimensionally than the 4th gen 4runner by quite a bit, but it is over 700 lbs heavier.

Yeah, ok man...call me when Defenders come with lockers instead of sissy open diffs and weak axles (see: http://www.mercedestechstore.com/pdfs/G files/217 HO 03 Diff Locks (ACB-IC-TF) 2-05-03.pdf)! Until then, you may want to just stay on the sidelines and let the G do the real work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=SWvDKH1Y7QU
BTW, isn't Land Rover now are owned by a company that specializes in building the world's cheapest car?? Well, to be honest, LR quality went up when Tata took over...so, you should be very thankful! :bouncy: India owning a large chunk of British heritage? Payback is a biatch, isn't it?!

The only thing that sucks about those vids is I didn't see any dated 2009
Thanks for putting those up, awesome. I know this is 4Runner board but I like seeing all of it. Your G is very cool, there was a very cool X-terra in one of the vids, the OME lifted T4R was cool and it was fun to see your brothers' trials It's been a busy, fast year for all, I know. And you have a new little one too!

My guess is around 30-35 degrees.
