Mercedes G-Class Transformed Into Wicked-looking Off-roader
Both aggressive and subdued, Wald International pulls off the perfect look for Mercedes’ legendary G-Class.
The Mercedes G-Class has long held a reputation for being one of the toughest off-road vehicles on the planet. But with modest rolling stock and a lower ride height, it just doesn’t look the part. And even though most G-Class owners will never take their rides off the pavement, we feel like the right stance and set of wheels and tires does this rough-and-tumble Mercedes proper justice. And that’s something Wald International has achieved with their wicked-looking G-Class Sports Line Black Bison Edition.
The Japanese tuning company has been busy showing off their awesome creation on Instagram lately, and who can blame them? This lifted matte black G-Class is certainly a looker, if nothing else. The off-road look is pretty hot these days, and Wald’s Mercedes certainly achieves it in spades thanks to a suspension lift. And to fill up that newfound space, they added a set of giant 24″ wheels wrapped in seriously knobby rubber.
Wald could have certainly stopped there and had a pretty awesome machine. But they decided to go one step further and give this G-Class a full blown body kit, too. The new parts were developed in-house and consist of a new bumper, hood, and massive fender flares that help cover the rubber. That last part is important, because not everyone is a fan of the “stanced” look. It’s also illegal to have tires stick out past your bodywork in many places.
Throw in a sixlet of exhaust tips out back, and you’ve got a pretty aggressive ride. And one that’s befitting of Mercedes’ legendary off-roader. Heck, we’re even fans of the subdued wheel design, which is a refreshing alternative to those insanely flashy looking giant wheels most vehicles wear. But the G-Class is a refined person’s off-roader, not some audacious, in-your-face abomination.
To that end, Wald pulled off a pretty impressive feat with this particular G-Class. It looks amazing and tough, without going completely overboard, as many similar builds often do. And that fits the legendary model’s mantra, as well as the overall Mercedes persona perfectly.
