I've been without my G55 since late May but I continue to get updates. It looks like all the parts are in and we have made the final decisions on the build. The folks at GwagonParts keep wanting to trick out the truck visually. Suggestions include newer G63 bumpers and ground effects, blackout all the chrome and even possibly a hood scoop. yea that would look awesome but I keep telling them FUNCTION over FORM.To that end here is a final list of what we are doing:
Tibus 2nd Generation Portal Conversion that includes: 125mm Portals, 2 Front Steering Knuckles, Heavy-duty CV Joints, Heavy-duty Rear Axel Shells, Rear Brake Calipers, Rear Brake Rotors, Front and Rear Axle Braces and new ABS Sensors.
Wheels: Tibus Aluminum Beadlock 18x9 Wheels in Matt Black, Nitto Ridge Grappler R/T 35x12 5R18 Tires,
Recovery: Thor Front Winch Mount for Mercedes G55, Smittybilt 97510 X 2O Waterproof Winch, Reverse Tire Mount for W463, Mercedes OMB 18' Wheel for Spare Tire, W463 Professional Roof Rack with Ladder and a Smittybilt 2781 5.65 CFM Universal Air Compressor.
This will replace my 2001 Jeep XJ that was sold on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183946968481
