Alan06SUT, Thanks for the information! The current turck im looking at apparently had the rear cargo cover, or they all come with the groves to lock one. It also doensent have a brush gaurd at all.

Do these trucks come with a locking transfercase and rear end? The one we drove had pictures of little locks on the buttons. Also how hard would it be to install a front locker?

In your picture of you climbing theh ill at what appears to be tellico, is that special bumper or just the winch slid into the front. Last night at lows i saw a H2 that had a winch but it was not attached to the bumper. Had a set up on it like a ball / receiver for a trailer hitch but it was in the front of coruse.

3Hummer,

I love my G class, but im at 85K miles now and its almost outo warranty. You dont own a benz out of warranty unless you never drive . I got the back in 02, I sold a toyota supra and bought the new wife a CL500, then was just in the right place at the right time... traded the CL on the G class and never looked back. Its a grate ride and you never see them where i live. Mercedes sales about 120 of them a year. However they are old school techonology, hard ride, not a lot of room etc... They are more like a skinney H1. Its a love hate relation ship. I would buy another one but MB hasent made enough changes to justify the money difference and i would want a diesel out of the ML or GL. Thats not a option and the price keep getting steeper. Mine was $79K in 02, i think they are $89K now. If you dad does get a G55. Make sure he gets a 05 up. The 03-04 G55K are a joke, and waste of money.

CG07SUT,

Thanks for the information, is there a link to a prototype bed cover. The only reason i would like to have something is because of the kids. You toss two car seats in the back and that does not leave a lot of room for the other crap you have to take with you. Now i just throw it all in the back but with a SUT it would just blow out or some one would swipe it.

Boss Hoss, You might be correct on the brakes. We ran into that with a G55K. I know you CAN wheel on bigger wheels i just dont like to Bigger wheels = more money usually, then more money for tires, i play in a lot of mud so the wheels would be ruined...

Here is the link the truck im looking at. They are very proud of the price so they will have to put a LOT in my G or come off theres a lot before we can get together.
