New 100,000 mile G500, now what?
Ok, so I've had my "new" 2002 G500 for a couple weeks now. It has a tad over 100,000 miles, The previous owner traded it in for a new 2011 G class and took amazing care of it, luckily. I have been looking and studing G's for a while now so I feel pretty prepared on working on them. I have been looking through all the DIY forums and think I can handle most of them on there also.

So I am wondering from the G veterans what type of stuff I should be doing, knowing that it is over 100,000 but not knowing exactly what has already been done to it. If you have any suggestions for me I would appreciate it extremely and as most say... I thank you all in advance.

Scott

Although I don't own a G-class may I recommend a tranny flush and a change of spark plugs if it hasn't had it already.
