I dug this thread out of the grave (II stayed home sick today so I had ALOT of time on my hands hahahahah) mostly because I really want to see some more about these trucks. Is there a good site like Terri-Ann's or Brian894x4's but for G-Waggens??? There is a place over ner my house that has a rag top SWB and I've seen another red SWB soft top driving around as well. And I was perusing through all of my "cool truck pics" on my computer and I found

This amazing thing:
(Disclamer: these are not my photo's and I totaly respect if they are owned by some one and you don't want me to post them, read: PM me and I'll take them down. I just couldn't help but save them to look at.)





So what's the deal? Does anyone here know of any built ones or own one themselves? OF all the trucks we have here I really thought there'd be more of them to be seen.

I've been dreaming about these for a while. It seems to be that for an international expo, a G would be just the ticket. IIRC the 280 was the last of the non-electronic diesel models, and, as mentioned before, were used by the ton in militaries around the world. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a 25-year-old military surplus model to import. Also, IIRC, the engine in the 280 was the same one used in tons of diesel sedans here in the US. Being Mercedes, you should be able to get parts just about anywhere in the world. I believe that an international expo rig should be as close to stock as practical, so availability of mods doesn’t worry me too much, especially for a military surplus G that should already have good bumpers and stuff. And the Gs, in stock form, are just about the most capable ‘jeep like’ vehicle out there.

At home I have a link to a site with ‘all things G.’ I’ll try to post it up tonight.

The G Wagen with the camper is special, built up by someone like Hellgeth in Germany. It has very nonstock Mog axles with CTIS and 275/80R20 XZLs.

Canadian DND bought a buttload of these to replace our Iltis vehicles. I'm looking forward to them showing up surplus. Note the Hutchison beadlocks.
