    Parts and Accessories Sources: G-Class

    These guys have a ton of military G parts for great deals, but they do not export. You would have to use a freight forwarder or another person in Germany. https://wolf-ersatzteile-shop.de/

    California Diesel Regulations

    The 250GD is a 5 cylinder with 88HP, pretty anemic. Many end up getting a sedan motor in there for better performance, but still, this is a 5000 pound rig and a bigger motor is needed for American highways. They are good for the trail tho. I have a current 1986 300GD single cab project and had a...

    The Jack Wagon

    Agree with Paul above, the Gwagen accessories rock sliders will both hide and protect the exhaust. I had them on my first G500 after pulling the running boards for the same reasons. They are super stout and he ships quick. https://www.g-wagenaccessories.com/products/lwb-w463-rockslider-rockmeister

    1999 G500 Pur edition

    #2 on my much delayed do list was changing the winch plug on my removable winch to a sealed version. I initially added the 461 24v connector socket to the front bumper and got a couple of the push in plugs from Mike Pagger at Tschiewagon in Austria. Works great, but I had concerns about driving...

    1999 G500 Pur edition

    I got the 7 hole panel into the G300 which allowed me to mount up a ABS off switch purchased from Fourbyfourclub. Vlad has a whole assortment of different switches for sale. http://fourbyfourclub.com/W463ElectricalParts/W463ELECTRICAL3.htm The 7 Hole panel looks good and can't wait to get the...

    1999 G500 Pur edition

    Having an infusion of funds from recent vehicle sales has prompted me to get to work on a couple of finishing touches on G500Pur. Basically it was stuff that seemed a little over priced enough or logistically complicated to push them far enough down the to-do-list. Not crazy money, but you know...

    Kermit Chair

    I bought a pair of Kermit chairs a number of years ago after seeing the Overland Journal article. No leg extensions. The go great with the small Snow Peak table BTW. Recently, one of the bars on a chair broke and they sent me a replacement part for no charge. Can't say enough good things about...

    1999 G500 Pur edition

    I have recently sold my 1995 G320 and also auctioned away my Syncro Westfalia on Bring-a-Trailer Unfortunately, I have not simplified as I also picked up 2 new projects, a LWB soft top 461 from Dubai and a turbo diesel SWB 463 from Germany. Not to mention the other non-running (cheap)...

    1999 G500 Pur edition

    Had a nice weekend a few weeks back out at the Oregon Coast with a fire on the beach at Cape Kiwanda. Really digging the Camptop. I need to spend less time working and dealing with auto projects and more time on the road (or off the road)!

    Reverse Spare Tire Mount

    I have pulled some rear tire mounts off of rear doors that have cracking at the base of the posts holding the wheel lugs. It may be good to just check it every few years to avoid any risk of catastrophic failure.

    EarthCruiser G - did the USA get the pick up version of the G?

    If you are able to bring in the Aussie G-class Ute to the USA, I'm sure you would have a fair number of takers.

    1999 G500 Pur edition

    A few months ago I picked up a reproduction Dutch Army 461 panel for the rear door. It is satin MB7167 color like the original bumper color which is pretty cool. I got it mounted up and am still using the 460 wiper motor cover to keep the clean look. I have a 460 black door handle that is in the...
