Replying to: eddiejj (Jul 29, 2005 11:15 am) Hello All - Sorry for the long delay in responding. I found it at trucktoysforless.com here's the link: http://trucktoys4less.com/trucktoys4less/mercedesg.html   This is the only aftermarket supplier I have found. Their product is german made, bolts on and is chrome plated stainless steel, they even include shipping, which is an issue because of the size and weight of the product. I also just bought german made tail-light guards from an outfit on ebay called "4x4 Club". They are heavy wrap around style ones like on the G55. I'll post a review when I get them on and see if they stay put. They were were about 50% less than the $1100.00 that the dealer and "performance auto" wants. By the way, performance auto also has grill guards but expect to pay $2000, they have VERY NICE underside protection bars, and turn-signal protection cages for $219.00 as well.   p.s. I called The GWAGEN USA guys in New Mexico 8 TIMES (their website says they stock the parts) and they have never returned a call, they suck! They parts guy is perpetually "at lunch", never returns calls or emails, and I even spoke to the parts manger who apologized profusely and said he would make sure the guy called, surprise - 3 weeks later NO CALL. I would be wary buying from them, if they can't take the time to make the sale, God help you if you need product support after you have bought from them.
#218 of 255 Help on Buying an '02 G500 by dizzle65 Feb 16, 2006 (11:09 am)
Hi all,   I am considering buying either a 2002 (or 2003) G500 or maybe even a 2003 Range Rover 4.4 HSE. I have done some research. I know that the G500 will hold its value better than the RR. And I also realize that the insurance on the G500 is a bit more than the RR and that the gas mileage is tad worse as well. I am simply looking for a luxurious, and highly capable off-road vehicle, which I WILL be using off road. The car will also be my ONLY vehicle, as I am selling my current SUV.   My major issue I guess would be reliability. What in your guys' (and gals') opinion would be a better choice?   My father has a 1994 LR Defender 90 and it is pretty much unreliable. Looking at the RR board, I am not too convinced that the "new" RR departs substantially enough from its traditional Land Rover reliability issues.   If anyone owns a G500 around that year (2002-03) I would be curious as to any problems they have had or major defects - - oh, and also any exorbitant repair costs and dealership treatment.   thanks a bunch in advance,   dizzle_65

The 2007 Mercedes Benz GL450 will be in USA dealerships by April!   Since it is unique and is NOT replacing the G, why doesn't it have it's own discussion thread!   C'mon Edmunds!   Thanks! Replies to this message: tidester (Mar 07, 2006 4:47 pm) steve_ (Mar 07, 2006 9:39 pm)

#222 of 255 New M-B GL450 by ergo Mar 14, 2006 (7:30 pm)
Stave,   Thanks SO MUCH!   It's well hidden in the "Mercedes Benz related" section folks. Perhaps one day it can jump onto the legitimate model page! Like Honda's upcoming Fit.   FYI: The only active "Owners" disussion I've found was on the M-B owners mbnz.org website FWIW. Once the media blitz starts hopfully it'll get more active!   Regards,   Paul
#224 of 255 new to the forum and I've got some questions by tjqp3 Mar 25, 2006 (8:21 pm)
Hello all, I'm new and am hoping someone could answer my G q's. Here goes, so is MB going to continue shipment to the US for 2006 if so till when? Also did the G looks it solid axles? Lastly for all 2002 and newer G500 owners I'd like to know what problems if any you've experienced major or minor. Thanks to all that help!

Replying to: tjqp3 (Mar 25, 2006 8:21 pm) "The GL-Class was once intended to replace the comparatively ancient and crude G-Class (a.k.a. Gelaendewagen), but Mercedes found enough of a following for the military-spec box on wheels that it will continue to produce the G in small numbers."   Not sure what that translates to in US sales.   First Drive: 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 (Inside Line)   Steve, Host Replies to this message: jeepcreeper (Jul 03, 2006 9:52 pm)
