@alwaysabidthe original two-piece Brabus wheels will come with the G. The Yokohama Geolander tires on the Brabus wheels have around 85% left, the original Brabus-branded spare tire cover is also included. Let me know if there's anything else I can answer as we near close.
@PreliDuring my ownership I calculated that it did between 15-16mpg in combined city and highway.
@W124tonyThe G was federalized in 2003 and since then it has been legal to drive or register anywhere in the USA ( I believe that CA is not on that list because of emissions ). I have a clean GA title that can be tranferred to any buyer. The previous owner had it registered in MT and there was no problem to register the vehicle in GA.
@Jdugally Unfortunately as a Georgia resident I have no idea honestly. Maybe someone from California could chime in if they know?
@MSerpe@alwaysabid New video uploaded of the lockers engaging. I did my best here for what that's worth. I could feel the difference in the wheel and behavior of the truck as the lockers engaged and disengaged. So all of this to say, they are working based on the more accurate testing today. Thanks for the guidance and I hope this helps!
@heyedweirdo I decided to purchase a 2014-16 G550 or G63 to built as an Overland vehicle. This 1993 Brabus G36 is too rare and unique for me to drive across the country for my rock climbing and fly fishing trips. It rides and it drives a whole lot better than when I purchased it and it looks great with a nice and suble combination between style and ruggedness.
1. Can you confirm if the paint is original and add pictures of paint metering? A. Unfortunately I don’t have a paint meter but all of the paint matches perfectly on each panel with no signs of fading and no rust. 2. On the driver door I see a few things that look to be scrapes or dents. One middle mid way and another above the door handle. Can you add close up pictures on those. A. Photos uploaded. No dents at all around the body. Any scrapes are very minor and detailed in the walk around video. 3. The driver door leather shows white marks on the bottom left corner. Are these worn marks or stains? This is also on the rear driver side door and rear seats. A. A few small and very minor wear marks, mostly seemed to be conditioner from detail but two small blemishes outlined in the walk around on the drivers door card. 4. Can you confirm if the wood console is cracked and any other cracks in the interior area? A. Center console has some cracks as detailed in the photo gallery and the walk-around video. Note around the hazard switch and below shifter surround. 5. Does the sunroof slide properly? A. No, this is the only non functioning item. 6. Does the AC work well? A. Yes, blows ice cold with no issues. 7. Does the heat work well? A. Yes, blows hot with no issues. 8. Do all electronics inside work along with all lights inside and out? A. Yes, all lights function properly inside and out as well as all electronics. The preheater is not connected. 9. Can you provide a video showing that all differential locks engage properly? A. Video uploaded of lockers engaging and they work with no issues. 10. Can you provide a driving video? A. Driving video has been uploaded. 11. Can you add pictures of the roof? A. Yes, photos of the roof have been added. 12. Can you provide more underside pictures of the frame and underside of the engine? A. Yes, additional photos have been added to the gallery. 13. Have things in the service manual been addressed? A. As far as maintenance, I only have receipts for what I’ve had done at Blue Ridge MB which are in the gallery. While there’s no records prior, I had Blue Ridge MB address any items that appeared to need maintenance now or in the near future to ensure the G drives perfectly. Lockers have been exercised and work great. The transmission fluid/filter and brake fluid were both flushed recently. This G has obviously been well-maintained even prior to my ownership and there are a lot of items on the receipts in the gallery from Blue Ridge MB. 14. Has the wiring harness been checked out (1993-1995 very problematic due to plastics used at this time). A. This W463 is CIS, no CIS cars had harness issues while LH and HFM equipped cars did. 15. Two other questions that came up was whether or not the front and rear driveshafts were replaced or their u-joints when the vehicle was fit with the thor springs? Are there any vibrations felt at various speeds? A. While it wasn’t done under my ownership and not on the receipts from Blue Ridge MB, this G is regularly on the interstate and no odd vibrations are felt from acceleration to speed. I hope this helps- it's a very nice and very unique G.
