G55
Eurosport,
Why can't I take my G55 off road? Because I have a supercharger? Wrong. I have a ranch in Colorado at 9500 feet that is only accessible by a 9 mile dirt road that is not plowed in the winter. Guess what, the G55 is a champ. I'm also an avid elk hunter and have had my G55 off road several times, with the supercharger installed. I used to have an H1 Hummer which was not reliable and no better than my Kleemann G55 in the tough stuff. I have had to replace the tires since the stock tires are not good off road or in the snow. The Kleemann supercharger is the best money I've spent on a modification and has made the G55 more fun without making it any less effective doing what it was built to do. If you're ever in Colorado send me an E-Mail and we'll hit the trail after doing some quarter mile runs just for fun.

JME,
don't get me wrong you have a very nice ride
maybe I didn't express myself good and what came out wasn't what I meant. I'm very glad to hear that you actually use your G on and offroad specially in your conditions (altitude) unlike most of G owners (you know it's true). I'm very curious though in a few things, like offroad only, without looking at the price of the supercharger (let's say it was free parts and install) is the SC better or worse in extreme conditions for the G. Now you being at that altitude could affect the comparison or does it? I don't know I haven't tested it, which would have better torgue low rpms. Now afterwards looking at the price of SC in a budget not extravagant spending spree way or being biased for Kleemann, would this upgrade really be worth every $, we're talking for offroad mostly, I know it's no brainer for on road Just curious.
Best Regards
