Not sure what that means but we have learned a lot in the past few years. One of the main things that we have learned is that we need to separate the plain stock Gwagon trucks from our custom builds as people expect $12-$20,000 trucks to be frame off restoration with no leaks or issues which everyone that knows anything about building trucks knows that it's not realistic for any sort of restoration for that type of money in the G wagon world. Even though you describe a car of being original with minor upgrades and very few flaws for the age it seems to totally go over peoples heads. We are building an interactive website just to explain all of this and for people to be able to spec out their trucks and know what it's going to cost. If you are expecting a frame off restoration as new as possible and an ex military or older 461 Mercedes G wagon chances are you are going to be $80,000+. I hope all of you will find someway to better spend your time then worrying about me. I've been doing this since I was 19 years old and now I'm 40. I have done business with a lot of close friends and elite clients for 15-20 years now. It's all I know. Not trying to be rude at all guys, just think a lot of retail customers have unrealistic expectations when purchasing 20-30 year old vintage 4x4's. They don't drive like new cars. If they haven't been fully restored then they're going to have flaws and leaks.
