Howdy from Big D

Hi all, new to the board. Just bought a 2012 G550, traded in my Jeep SRT8 with a 426 hemi, 600 hp. Won't be going quite as fast in the new ride, but certainly more off-roading.

According to the AutoCheck info, my wagon started out in Beverly Hills, then Woodland Hills, Houston, auctioned in Iowa and Oklahoma, and finally in my neck of the woods.

Here she is:

I'll be adding off-road wheels and lights at some point.

Happy to be here.

Thanks guys.... didn't know it was a rare color. The previous owner actually wrapped it in a matt grey wrap, which is good and bad. Good in that it protected the paint, but bad 'cause they ripped it off and left many scratches anyway.

I'm actually not too much into the 22inch rims, so they're for sale if interested.

The Black Brush Guards is a nice touch

Funny that you mentioned it...
I was selling the front brush guard, but decided to just strip the paint off in the end. I may have kept it black if the previous owner had done a better job of painting it, and the paint wasn't coming off in places.
