Yes but we can build virtually the same vehicle right here in the US, using the exact same brand Portals brakes and off road wheels and tires.

I assume you are referring to the dual shocks, at this time we do not have an option for that but we are working on the feasibility of it. The system on the 4x4² will likely not be easy to integrate into the standard G Wagon, but we are working on a solution that could be added at sometime.

OK, thanks for the info.

I have a Client who wants this 4x4², but has a G63 being built in May. As the US will not be getting the 4x4², he will likely want to upgrade everything to his 6x6 specs.

He actually forwarded me your website, so he knows what he wants.

I will most likely be contacting you sometime Early May to work the logistics!

Sounds like a plan!

Give me as much lead time as you can so I can make sure we have everything on hand to get you taken care of as quickly as possible.

He will love it, especially if he plans on doing any off roading at all. It is awesome!

I had mine at a big off road event in southern CA this weekend, anyplace my Jeep friends could go I could go, even got to winch a couple of them out of trouble!

How about that LED light bar on the roof? Will it fit normal G classes?
Thanx

Are you talking about the visor / LED lights on the 4x4² and the 6x6, or the 50" light bar on my silver Portal G?

Yes correct, up on the north side of town away from all the craziness! Right at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

I was referring to the visor with led seen on the 6x6 and the new 4x4.

Sorry about the late reply, been busy getting gearboxes ready for and traveling to Sebring!

I am waiting to hear back from Germany about the availability of that visor / LED light set up on the 6x6 and 4x4².

Let you know as soon as I have info!
