And... thats exactly how it should have come from the factory! Now I just need to play the waiting game until one of these has depreciated 80% so I can actually afford one.

That thing is bright, but I love the 4x4 squared. Someone needs to figure out a full size spare rear bumper solution for them, because the rear really looks weird without a tire on it.

Im digging the electric top with the side panels removed. It has a cool bimini top look to it.

If youre looking at the LR4, have you though about checking out the current Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup? I dont have any personal experience with it, but it keeps getting great marks year after year, and the suspension setup looks comparable to an LR4. With your budget you could get one new...

Its mostly the same in the states, the Top Truck Challenge, and King of the Hammers are almost all SA vehicles. Now if we were talking about high speed desert racing, IFS is the obvious winner there.

I always wonder if the toyota resale values stem from the 90's era brainwashing, and the fact that consumer reports has been blatantly in their pocket the last few decades. Theres a reason toyota decided to offer the 105 along side the 100 when they switched to IFS, because even they knew it...

I wheeled with a IFS 4wd for years and there is for sure an inherent weakness with the setup vs a SFA. The articulation just isnt there, even compared to a stiffer SFA setup like the G. On top of that the tie rods for the steering are almost always too thin for larger tires. The CV axles and...

So 2017 will be the last of the good models then. This is as bad as when GM stopped producing the K5 and turned to the craptastic IFS Tahoe/Blazer.

Autotrader?

I found my '06 G500 off Autotrader here in SoCal. We do tend to have a lot of these on the used market thanks to all the status quo people near the beach and in LA that bought them new.

I have the same size tire/wheel combo and the back hatch opens fully just fine.

That is the best front bumper I've seen for the G so far :drool:

Came across this thread while searching for aftermarket portals for the g-class, and ended up reading all 102 pages from start to finish. Now im divorced living in a studio apartment, and my child who was a toddler when I started reading this is about to graduate high school. It was still...

My 2006 G500 with some bigger meat on the wheels. I also threw on some updated DRL's and grill to spruce up the appearance a bit. Stock suspension with BFG K02's in 275/70/r18. So far so good with no rubbing issues.
