I've recently contemplated exactly this. The biggest variable is if you want to deal with liners in the cylinders. That adds at least $1500 to it. Really the rest of its known regular issues ie cooling primarily. HG, new radiator, water pump, do the crank bearings, new camshaft lifters and...
Diesel is everyone first choice. Mine as well. That wouldnt stop me from getting a petrol G. MPG is similar as 100 TLC, Discovery (Ive owned both those) and most V8 SUV's. My only knowledge of the G is via a work friend who has an 05. He has over 100K. Mixed he states about 14+. His is stock.

Alright everyone...here is my baby. Put this together with alot of inspiration from Carlyle original build. The Alaskan is an amazing rig. Just not right for our family right now. My loss someones gain. I tried to get exact details here so you all can figure the cost that went into this and...
Im interested in looking around someone's G500. My wife digs them and were downsizing from our Alaskan/Cummins (Brand new will be up for sale soon). Just thinking a G might fit us pretty good. Thanks Scott
Exped ops stuff rocks and Jeremy is a great guy. I completely understand doing it yourself, I built my last house myself. Jeremy source recycled wood for his mats and tables. They are also very nicely constructed, I ordered the mat while at OX 10.
He should be flattered since imitation is...
