All, I have decided to keep the G Wagen. Thanks for all the interest and kind comments. Brent

Sorry I haven't been checking back in more frequently. I just sent out a couple PMs and wanted to get back on the forum. The G Wagen is still for sale, but I'm feeling less inclined to sell...the budget still allows for this vehicle, although a little tighter than I had hoped. I am in Pollock...

PM received...I responded back via email. Thanks for checking in. Brent

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I was hoping this rig would sell to someone who might really appreciate it for what it really is. I'm going to put it on Autotrader and Craigslist next week....I guess quantity is the name of the game with auto sales.

Bump. Price dropped to $43k. Now has 51,400 miles.

This G Wagen is now for sale. See thread here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/142347-FS-2004-Mercedes-G500-G-Wagen-51K-miles!?highlight=bikeman71

All, With great sadness, I am listing my 2004 Mercedes G Wagen. This rig is in impeccable condition with less than 51K miles on the clock. It has a new Odyssey battery. Less than 10k miles on 33" Goodyear MTRs (1" spacer lift to help accommodate for the needed extra clearance). Transfer...

No, both 81 liter. They are stackable and are such a perfect fit that the head rests need to be raised slightly for the top container to settle in without touching. There is a thread in the "storage" section about the efficiency of a container...these fit the mold perfectly....no molding or...

Correct, no wheel spacers. Thank you for the kind words!

Yes, 275 70 18. Thank you for the catch! I'm going to edit now. The 30mm spacers are the spring spacers, not wheel spacers.

And finally an updated picture of my wiring "room." I've reconnected all of my connection points with solder pellets and shrink wrap. It was probably fine before, but I like things to be just right. I've also added the wiring to hook up my National Luna Powerpack that fits perfectly in either...

I've spent a lot of time on the rear cargo storage. Most of the time comes in the form of research. What you see here is a Front Runner Cargo Slider with the locking National Luna fridge plate and 50L Weekender Split Fridge/Freezer. I spent hours looking for the right container to fit...

It is time for some updates on the G-Wagen. I'll start with some exterior pictures. This shows a stock suspension with 30mm spring spacers and 275 70 18 Goodyear MT/R.

That is crazy! It does seem we have similar tastes in all things overland exploring. We should get together for an adventure....I would love to get over to Bishop for something this fall....maybe a trip up to Coyote Flat/Palisade Glacier? I've also got my eye on a couple things just outside...

Here is the Rubicon on the Rubicon: And, one of my favorite places in the world that includes one of my favorite all-time adventures...For the past several years, my dad has been coming out to California for an annual Spring Break Death Valley Trip. For our most recent trip, because my dad...
