The model is 2014 G63 AMG, and for the stronger braking force I changed the factory brake caliper with a bigger one in Jan. this year. So I used the wheel spacers to create more clearance inside to ensure the safe working of both of brake caliper and the wheel, as well as to give a more aggressive look to my G-Wagon. I really love the exterior upgrade and the handling enhancement taken by the wider track. So please allow me to recommend it again They will give you a surprise! https://www.bonoss.com/product/bonos...00-g350d-g350d



@jackLee
The only thing missing for your build are some custom wheels. Now that you have the widebody kit you can get a wheel with massive concavity and lip size + eliminate the spacer which is always a good thing. This SUV deserves much wider wheels & tires now.

Crashed an MBCA event at Sonoma Raceway in the G.

Great charity ride vintage car series at the raceway! PS: no the 300SL did not race. Would have been a sight though!

Please don't use "crashed" and "300SL" within the same post (lol).

Light Ivory? Desert Sand is a bit darker I think.

Just bought this. I came for black and left with Graphite. Only thing I changed is the stock exhaust which I switched for Akrapovic.

thinking about making the mirrors black aswell as the grey part on the reserve wheel / below wheel and front (where brush guard is attached) What do you guys think?

Wanted one as a kid and decided to make that dream come true, not the color I wanted and I had to go to Beverly Hills to get it but I feel in love as soon as I drove it. Will be repainting and upgrading soon, will post updates.

My lifted G

New Member here to the forum but not new to Mercedes or wrenching.
Here's my work in progress 2002 G500 with a 5.5" lift and 35"+ tires 375-45-22 mounted on 22x10.5 Rohanas with a +28 offset. There's a slight rub inner tire on the radius arm that a 1" spacer that's on order will take care of.

what's left are cosmetic.

nice to meet everyone hoping to share my knowledge and experience on the G, S class, SLK and GL on the forum (all prior owned cars)

What all was needed for the lift to perform correctly? I have spring spacers and the FOX shocks I have been planning to install for 2” but not thinking I want to go 35” on 22s like you, not as wide a tire though.

Eurowise 4" lift springs
Autoacer 40mm spring spacers
Skyjacker Hydro shocks with a 28" extended length 16" compressed
Eurowise radius arms for front caster correction
Adjustable panhard bars to center the differentials (there's still some bump steer, I'm thinking of drop brackets for the panhard bars to parallel them to the ground to eliminate bump steer completely)
Extended brake and diff lock lines
