Congrats. That’s a special G for sure. World love to hear more of the acquisition details if you’re willing to share

Gwagens basically come in three different chassis from 1979 through 2018. The w463 is the longest running civilian chassis and it covers Gwagens not sold for military or industrial purposes from 199 through 2018. You can find the om603 diesel motor available in w463 G’s of the mid 90s. It is...

The 606 became available in a G for the 1996 model year. So with the US 25 year import rule...well, you can do the math. There is a good bit of G-class import experience over at the clubgwagen forum. I have not done it, but I think you'd be wise to make a trip to Europe so that you can...

$23kUSD is a good price if it's clean. These are very capable and very reliable vehicles -- so reliable that there can be some expensive deferred maintenance issues to clear up. If it's in good working order, it should drive very nicely -- smooth and straight with no vibrations. If there are...

I've owned a number of Gwagens...from MY 1986 to 2006...diesel,gas,460,461,463. They are all well-built and overly capable, and yet most common theme is previous owner neglect. These vehicles are meant to be driven regularly and serviced regularly so I'd strongly recommend buying the one that...

Hey not much activity in this thread in a while :D. I'm not living in Colombia but thinking to make a trip and would like to make a contact. Anybody?

Cool. It’s nice to finally see someone making trailing arms for these trucks. Btw I get an invalid certificate warning for your site.

The 2003 has the battery in the center floor in the middle of the rear passenger footwell. I just did this for my 2006 G500 in order to run a fridge. The 2006 does have a 12v accessory plug in the left rear corner from the factory but it's not adequate for much. You can run a 10 gauge wires...

Many vehicles have slightly wider front track widths than the rear. They do this for a number of reasons including turn radius improvements. However, the G-Class has equivalent front and rear track widths (at least that's what they publish. I've never bothered to measure). For 2019 they...

Yeah as nbutze points out the green color shown is not the shade of green that this truck left the factory wearing. You can see the original green metallic in the door jambs and around the door interior paneling. Cheap paint job

The 2002+ are great trucks. 02 and 03 years got a bad rep initially while MB worked out some electrical issues but those should be well sorted by now assuming the maintenance is in good order — you definitely want something with a good maintenance history. The motor/trans combo in the 1998 to...

Yeah there are a lot of advantages to leaving the single rear seat in place. if you really want to go with something that could be carried on the roof and installed onto a custom bracket then checkout sprinter seats like this one that fold https://www.ebay.com/itm/124068582555

I don’t think you want to bother trying to retrofit the wolf jumpseat into a 463. You can buy a jumpseat or two for the 463 and use the existing threaded bungs that exist in the sheet metal above the rear wheel wells. If thepassenger seat and the 1/3 portion of the rear seat are non-starters...

Sorry to hear about your trouble. There are several MB dealers around the country who parts desks have e-commerce websites for purchasing MB parts with discounted pricing. Two sites that I use often are mboemparts dot com and MB of wappinger falls in NY

Oh I did tell them what it is worth to me and I was very reasonable about it. But they specifically wanted to know the original “purchase” price. Again this was not USAA. USAA did not want to insure the 250GD and handed me over to one of their partner insurers. All of my other G’s including my...

USAA has difficulty with my Wolf. They passed me off to one of their partner insurers who eventually ran into the problem of trying to establish the original (1990) purchase price. Since it was a military vehicle I didn’t know what to tell them. I think they would have taken my best guess but...

Just another reminder that the 460 seals are not the same as the 463 seals.

My Wolf is with Hagerty too. It’s affordable. Also has a nice magazine they publish periodically.

Only when you’re idling!
