Wow...that's impressive. Congrats on the find.

I love it. I never liked the stock plus I have a little bigger tires on. The stock one is not compatible with bigger tires.

I have wheel spacers too. 30mm

I have a guy that works on off road vehicles installing lifts, fabrication and all kinds of off road stuff. He has done several vehicles for me.

More pictures of your rig please - is that a Brabus Kit I see? Is it a full kit? Why did you have to upgrade the brakes - was it a 550 to begin with or a G63?

The cabrio is a power folding top.

I don't think I could pick a favourite. They are all so different. The new 2021 G550 is such a pleasure to drive and is 100% better than the pervious generation. I just love the SWB trucks and having a hardtop and cabrio is just beyond cool, the cabrio is amazing on sunny days and is a mall crawler for us. The SWB is probably the best for offload as it has such a great turning radius. I just need a G pickup!

Nope - I just went in between the strips. Took a while since the rubber is not even but it turned out well.

We remove the side steps and powdercoat them. Powdercoating is much more durable than paint. ]The 24" wheel and tire setup has virtually the same overall height (rolling diameter) of the factory wheel/tire options. In short, it will not make the SUV look any higher.

The 24" wheel will make for a much bumpier ride, and it won't take too much of a pot hole to bottom out and ding your rim. Cool doesn't come without consequence.
