Back from Moab!

Just returned from our annual family trip to Moab and Lake Powell. Took the G63 on Hell's Revenge, Poison Spider, Top of the World, and Fins and Things (at night). Happy to say that the G doesn't have a scratch! I did, however, use every cm of ground clearance. Especially on Poison Spider.

My kids enjoy this as much as I do and make for excellent spotters! Moab and Powell are a blast. If you haven't been, I highly recommend both places.

































And a couple from Lake Powell.

Wow. Looks amazing. How did the new suspension bits work out? Did you bottom out anywhere along the way? Even with those pipe relocated there isn't a lot of clearance in those conditions. Thanks for posting. Love to see any video of the G63 in action if you have it!

I'm very happy with the suspension both on an off-road. Clearance is actually excellent with the bigger tires and lift. Removing the exhaust tips and running boards also made a big difference. I bottomed out once on Poison Spider. No damage, didn't even leave a mark as far as I can tell. Poison Spider was the most challenging out of the four trails that I took but the G handled it. Great time.

Love the fact that you are using the Wagen properly. I occasionally have to go over a speed bump at the mall and that's about it!

Great photos! Can't wait for winter in Dubai so I can take my G63 off road.
