A few pics of my ML Off-Road ...
Hey guys, I was out at my friends ranch this past weekend and took a few pics of the ML off roading. I still love this truck even after owning it for 7 years.

P.S- I'm waiting on my WAAG brushguard to come in ... CANT WAIT !! WOOT.

Good pics! Can't imagine putting mine through that, so I'll live vicariously! Did it feel pretty stable throughout? Send them pics to Mercedes, you might get a free cap or something...

Excellent pictures! I'll be sure to reference those whenever somebody declares the ML "exclusively ornamental."

Thxs for the comments guys, I will send them to Mercedes to see what they say. As for how stable it is, it is like a rock !! I love this truck off-road and on road. I'm working on getting lockers for the diffs so it will be more capable. I'll keep you all updated.

The rims are the stock ML55 AMG's .. 18 X 9's .. the tires are AWESOME Nitto Terra Grapplers (285-60-18). As for the front there is plenty of clearance, but I just finished adjusting the torsion bars last night which made it look much better as well as adding 1.5" more ground clearance (Be sure to get an alignment if anyone chooses to do this). I will post pics of how it looks now. :v
