    I had some extra dark tint (film) on my driver's and front passenger's doors when I purchased the G-500. Carefully scored the film lightly and pulled it off in strips, not easy to pull off for sure, The glue residue was the toughest to get rid off. I used acetone soaked rags, quite a few of it...

    removing running boards

    The best way of taking out those M10 bolts - is using a flat ratchet wrench. The original Mercedes M10 have a 15mm hex head instead of the standard 17mm one. The heat shields are made from soft aluminum and are easily bend out of the way. If you like to hide/protect the unsightly but...

    Most the time it is a seat switch problem.......the seat control is a digital system.

    G-wagen at the Auto Show in Tokyo 2010

    You know, I like all colors......as long as they are gray! When I found this G-wagen it was just perfect for me, the light gray interior some stone pitted paint finish and the -then- low mileage. In the 2-1/2 years I have owned this truck, I added almost 60K mile to it. And every time I climb...
