Modified G63 ready for Moab!

Just got my G back from Kleemann. They added all of their new mods bringing crank HP up to 750ish. I'll post dyno sheets later. In addition, they replaced all of the chrome with carbon fiber or by powder coating the parts. The truck is lifted using ORC springs and a Radflo suspension. Surprising, it actually rides better then stock. To give the truck more clearance I had them remove the side pipes.

Last year I did Hell's Revenge in Moab with the G63. I'm going back this month and am looking forward to the extra clearance. Yes, I actually bring this thing off road. It's a blast!

As always, the work done by Kleemann is top notch. I let Cory and Brandon work on all of my cars. I just picked up my Ferrari 612 from them today. They installed a Tubi exhaust that sounds awesome. Love those guys!

We live on property in Colorado. My kids have dirt bike trails and jumps in the back yard. It's a good place to test ground clearance in the G.








This is why I removed the side pipes.

Outstanding.

I'd be interested in how they replaced the side strips with carbon? Is that a factory kleemann options or something done specific for you?

Love the rear spare wheel mod.

Need to smoke out the sidemarkers.

What kind of dog?

He's a Black Russian Terrier. Developed by the Soviet military in the 50's. They're a large breed, about 130LBS, that is just starting to gain some traction in the States. Very popular protection dogs and extremely easy to train.

The carbon fiber is made by Mansory. Some of the parts are full replacements and some are glued on to the OE parts. The side molding glues to the stock molding. The grill is a full replacement. Quality is top notch but the prices are on the stupid side.

Good call on the side markers!

Beautiful dog. Thought it might be a Bouvier but it looked a bit more unique. Just watched a video of the breed. Really an interesting history. Thanks.

I'll inquire about that molding. I had my interior trim re-done in carbon and love it. The only thing that still bothers me is the side moldings. Don't mind the chrome all that much.

Not that you really need it but the low profile roof rack and ladder would really complete the look.

Thanks again for sharing. Good luck on Moab. Feel like I saw a thread somewhere from your trip last year and the pics were amazing. Hope to see some more; maybe a video clip

Cheers

Who did your carbon interior? Would you mind sending me a PM with prices? Post pics if you can.

We have a 5 year old Bouvier in addition to the BRT. They're another great breed.

Thanks!

Highly recommend John at macarbon. I need to take some pics and post but he does an amazing job. I was local so was able to hand over my truck. It wasn't inexpensive and they use your core parts to overlay the carbon onto them. The factory burl wood was too out of place on the truck. Best upgrade ever for me personally.

His website has basic prices. www.macarbon.com

Best to just reach out direct as most his work is custom anyway.

Bouvier's are wonderful. I've known a few people with them and they are a lot of fun. A good friend had pair of black and white bouviers in NYC. Quite the scene walking the streets in Soho.

Any updates on this G or Radflo. Need to order some shocks for my soon to be lifted G63. Fox wait time is crazy. Kings and Radflo says it will be a custom order shock...
