It will also be stationed in the G55 section since it is specific to that vehicle.
The Subject:

Yes he is a local customer of ours. I believe there was a elongated period of time between oil changes, and opted for an all out build this time round.

Just so I know it's been said, the G class is the ugliest car ever! Good luck with the build, can't wait to see it down the strip.

Arguing opinions isn't going to get us anywhere. 
However, for the sake of an answer....I prefer an X5M, 1st gen SRT Jeep or even an LM002, if you want to go wild. I just think the G-class is way too boxy and utilitarian. It's body has no soul. It's a crate on wheels.
-----------------
And this too, but slightly modified....
No SUV will ever be uglier than a Pontiac Aztek, if you can call it an SUV.

No soul? Have you ever been in/drove one?
See, I would never get a Jeep, so our opinions are on the compete opposite side.

Just to clarify, don't get my opinion of it's styling confused with how it drives or functions. That's a completely different subject.
I never thought about owning one either, until I got to ride in one. Compared to the rest of the performance SUV market, it was good "cheap" fun.

Rarely do people actually off-road these things, why risk the money when a cheap crappy Landcruiser will go where none of these will.
