New G63 owner
Hey Forum!
Just picked up a certified 2017 Tectite Grey/Black with Magno Brown G63.
Amazing machine!
Would appreciate some ideas on must-do mods.

Congrats ! 24's and the star sparkle roof liner ?
Otherwise I'd do a Eurocharged tune, air filters and some shocks to save yo' kidneys.....
Great color on the ride....

The deal I thought was closed on the white one fell through, and I don't regret it for one sec!
I know you like Fox shocks - I am still researching but leaning in the same direction.
I know there will be flack, but...IMHO, M157 feels plenty powerful for what the truck can do on and off the road.

The Foxes do work well - although I am very pleased with the less expensive Koni reds on my current G55.... they're "adjsutable" but not easily, and that may motivate me to go for another set of foxes down the road, but that so far is the only issue noted.
They also are typically in stock - which met my need.
Any other mods planned ? Congrats again.

I had the Apple CarPlay Interface installed in my G63. It makes the vehicle seem modern. I use Google maps set to the satellite mode.

Did you have to modify the front fenders or anything at all to install the Foxes?

Foxes are plug and play.... the steering stabilizer takes a bit of reaming but it's fairly straight forward. If you're inclined to want a bit more tire spring spacers are a great way to slide a 33 in with minimal complication ( 40mm is the sweet spot I think)
Here's a pic of my old 63 with 40mm lift and 305's ( 33.4" OD) - I have better pics at the office if useful...
Cheers
