    1999 G500 Pur edition

    The 16" Ashtaroth is the strongest 16" factory alloy made for the Gwagen, it was used on all armored G-class 463 vehicles. Then they came up with the closed tear version a couple of years ago which is supposed to be even stronger. I think both are very good and an opportunity to pick up a set of...

    Yes, it is a straight bolt on. Much less expensive than a new MB dampener.

    Just wanted to give a shout out to David Watkins of the GWOA whom I met in Graz in 2009. David got the wheels picked up in London for me and is handling shipping to the USA as well. I met David in Graz in 2009 at the 30 year G-class celebration. His G55 was being serviced in Munich whilst he...

    I happened onto an Ebay listing in UK for the closed tear Ashtaroth 16" rims this week and just closed the deal with the seller. These are super pricey new and even in used condition. I have been looking for a good clean cheap set of them for a couple of years and it finally paid off. Can't wait...

    All 460 series up to 1990 had manual 2WD/4WD selectable lever and manual hydraulic front and rear locker pulls, 461 up to 2000 had this as well. No all wheel drive open center diff available. 461 after 2000 is the same as 463 with electronic switches for all three lockers and low range, as well...

    My main muffler has been looking increasingly ratty since I got the truck and the original exhaust parts are NLA according to the MBUSA parts network. I was googling the part numbers and found a NOS set of mufflers for sale in Russia on a private classifieds. Unbelievably, I was able to buy them...

    Mine is a Europa 1999 G500 manufactured in 1998. The later (2002+) models are easier to service and get parts for than the older ones. Newer ones have better brakes, ESP, and better HVAC. The older ones are a bit "simpler," your example of the mechanical transfer case shifter is one of the...

    What is benefit of 30mm spacers if only lifts the body?

    Think of it as also pushing the front and rear axle down. It lifts both the body and frame, and thus improves approach, break over, and departure angles. The height of the diffs and their ground clearance remains unchanged, so clearance under the diffs is not improved with spring spacers alone...
