    Rhino Rack... What would you do?

    I never drove any distance with just the bars and did not paid any attention, but those square bars are definitely NOT aerodynamic. The other problem with the recommended RL150S13 Leg Kit is that the front cross bar only has a few millimeters of clearance between the bottom of the bar and the...

    Heavy duty alternator option for G500?

    My 1984 280GE (W460 - M110) had an 80 Amp alternator from the factory. A 70 Amp or a 90 Amp alternator was available on other engines (M102 & M103).

    Birth of My Kimberley Karavan

    It's no longer for sale. My wife convinced me to keep it; which is really amazing, since she didn't like camping at all before the Karavan.

    GENUINE OEM OUTER TIE ROD???

    Same P/N as for my 2000 G500, purchased from an authorized MBUSA dealer. If you will enlarge the head of the ball joint, you will see "TRW" stamped in the metal.

    GENUINE OEM OUTER TIE ROD???

    TRW does make some tie rods for MB. Does it have a MB part number (A.xxx.xxx.xx.xx) on it? If not, it's after market.

    Heavy duty alternator option for G500?

    The biggest NL Fridge freezer draws a maximum of 2.5 Amps or an average of 2.67 Amp-hrs. The factory alternator is 150 Amp. Why would you need more?

    Anyone ever heard of a MY 2002 + G500 transfer case going bad?

    One of the quickest way to see if the transfer case has gone bad would be to drain the oil and examine the magnetic drain plug for debris, followed by filtering the fluid through a clean piece of cheese cloth and look for particles there.

    Anyone ever heard of a MY 2002 + G500 transfer case going bad?

    Since this forum is expedition focused, you may not get the most thorough answers to general repair questions here. Just a suggestion, but these kinds of questions will usually get more and better answers about repairs on a forum specific to the G-Class in general, like Pointedthree.com or...

    G with Diesel and Airbags?

    Both the ML and GL have the brake controller connector pre-wired with the factory towing option. Maybe, on the G, it's not there because a hitch is not a factory option. Looking at the MBUSA website for the G-Class, it mentions "aftermarket" when talking about a hitch and towing capability.

    G with Diesel and Airbags?

    Another little "Gotcha" is that, with the newer G's that do have a trailer hitch, there is no prewired connection in the wiring harness for a brake controller. This is really a stupid oversight on MB's part. Above a certain trailer weight (well under the 7,000 lb towing limit for the G), a...
