Urban G story....

1 Designated driver. 1 G500 and 9 others (including a buddy-a former all pro Chicago Bears defensive back) wanting to go to to Greensboro for the night. The wifeeee said it could not be done. That was all it took. We fit 10 adult somewhat tipsey people in the G for the 1 1/2 hour round trip and a night on the town. Cozy but not uncomfortable.

Man I love my truck!!!!!!:

Arrow Urban G story....

traumadoc,

Thanks for sharing the "Urban G story"!

If you are interested you can add jumpseats to your Geländewagen for additional seating. (note* It is not U.S. DOT approved.)

Here are some sources you can order them below:

* Sean & Steve at EuroTruck Importers: W463 G Class : Eurotruck Importers, Your source for Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles and spare parts!

* Guido a Geländewagen technician in Germany that can ascertain parts and ship them overseas as well. Guido's email: ebay@industrytools.de

* Vlad at FourbyFour: fourbyfourclub.com


Respectfully,

James Van Thach

James. Thank you

I have installed an after market subwoofer and amp in the rear and likely those seats will not fit. The box for the sub and the amp actually doubles very well as a seat and headroom was not an issue.

Thank you,

Roy
