    G55 VS G500 Questions

    Just saying "limited in wheel/tire" does not necessarily say what you intend or wish to have. For example, there are a few G55k people who run the 18" wheels and they pick from a wide range of tires in 33"-35" without issue. You can do simple mods to allow 37" even if you like. I do not know...

    G with Diesel and Airbags?

    Nobody said that, not in this thread anyway. Maybe emotion is clouding your vision to the true happy place? I think it comes down to being more about how many people and junk you want to haul at one time. Even if it doesn't for you, this comes to mind: If you are in the market for a...

    G with Diesel and Airbags?

    I watched a driving review where they got 30 on the hwy no problem. My guess is that if you "try", it will do quite well. Remember, it's a lot lighter now too which will help with in town mpg. I love the G, but if it's purely about safety inside regarding airbags, I don't think there's really...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    He has the previous generation as seen in the dash and opening rear hatch glass. I thought the new model allowed seats to flatten mostly? There are some VW/Porche models that have the bottom cushion hinged separately and in these removal is very easy for just the bottom then allowing the...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    I agree on the headroom but it's for sleeping...flat...not sitting ;) As for length, traveling solo I just move the passenger seat forward to allow for 6'-5". I do this in my bmw 535 wagon though which actually has a touch more usable length than the previous generation Cayenne as seen in...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    What brand and model is that cot? Most are too long for vehicles of this standard length.

    G55 Build

    I see. Even on the pre-kompressor amg engine ? That pin design is just so cool it seems worth the hassle to customize. I suppose there are other ways to utilize the quick mount like doing a standard 2" front receiver...? The pin design though is tucked in so nicely when winch is mounted.

    G55 Build

    I don't have a G but have liked the design of the factory version with the big center pin connector so you can leave the winch at home out of the weather until going on a trip. It also can pop into a mount for the rear receiver which is a cool added function. The Oregon guys will know...

    Does Payload (lbs) affect tow capacity

    Yes, euro balanced caravans, exactly what I have in mind. A Kimberley tandem model to be specific. That B-train stuff is very cool! Thanks so much for showing such an informative and visual example. :)

    Does Payload (lbs) affect tow capacity

    What the hell is a B-train? I want to see a photo ;) Ever seen the European travel trailers? It's pretty cool to see the wheels practically in the center of the mass and read 180 kg tongue weights on 8-9meter trailer. Even the Euro Airstreams have the wheels moved forward.

    2016 G-wagen models

    Yes, we know. Just "rub it in" ok! ;) I'd assume that anyone on this forum complaining is well aware they are available elsewhere but as he said, not "offered" in North America.

    Olli, the Defender 110

    Let's see more. That "toptent" is wonderful! Does it make use of a folding loft bed? I see, your links are the photos page. Great for ideas.

    New Gear Ratio W/ Larger Tires? LR4

    Are you crazy? ;) both of course! Really perfect as a combined approach. No seriously, I use the GAP just for other purposes now. I don't use the GAP at all for height anymore because there's basically zero need to with the much quicker and locking into max high or max low feature of the...

    ^correct I'm fairly sure but you'd have to be sure to read these things carefully.

    New Gear Ratio W/ Larger Tires? LR4

    Why the bumps stops? I don't think so necessarily. I've used my LLAMS tool to drop the vehicle as low as possible and the scrubbing it not too crazy but it is lots of contact against the fender liners. What I'm getting at is altering fender liners where needed vs changing bump stops which...

    LR3 Extended Warranty

    Of a few dealers in the area, Obrien Land Rover in Fife/Tacoma WA is the one that had a warranty I could accept. The other dealer had pricing starting around $8000 and going up but it was the one "through" Land Rover. Also, to be clear, mine had to be bough before 50k miles and the 4 year time...

    New Gear Ratio W/ Larger Tires? LR4

    Nobody else is really concerned with the gears. However, I hope you aren't planning on these size with a stock vehicle...and "rods" don't count as a band-aid. FYI, 285/65 will be 32.5- 32.7 but 275/70 will be 33"+ and would be very "interesting" even after the mods to both front and rear wheel...
