The G55 has the advantage with it's 3 locking diffs and dual solid axles, which help keep all four tires on the ground at extreme angles. The G55's tires would have to be replaced with off-road tires, instead of the street-oriented performance tires it has now.

You cannot be serious, Mr Umpire...
.....or else see attached pic...... you only need to fit proper mud tyres to your G55.
