I got a nerf bar (couldn't find a cheap side step) for $150 + $50 SH. It took me 1:30 to install them. If you are handy, it should only take 45 min to 1 Hr. I really like the OEM side step but too expensive. The non oem nerf bar was easy to install and looks great.

Does anyone have any experience with the 19-inch tires? Do they degrade ride quality?

If you're referring to the tires that came with the P2 package, I have them on my '08 (I believe they're Continental ContiTrac or something). The ride is fantastic. I also had continentals on my BMW 5 series and was very happy with them (they lasted over 50,000 miles to boot).

Hi Joe. Could you please share with me where you got the nerf bars and maybe even post a photo of them. I would really appreciate it and I'm pretty sure there are others who would as well. Thanks.

Hi. I cannot understand whether GL450 height 72.4in is with and without roof rails.
This might sound strange.... but...my garage door opener is protruding in the middle obviously.
Thus the question: what is gl450 height without the roof rails?

2007 GL450 - noises when parked or at a stop light

Ok - I might be asking a dumb question but I would rather know for sure than do damage to my beautiful car. When I am parked or stopped at a stop light, I hear a "swooshing" sound. Is that normal? If so, what is it?

Might it be the automatic suspension leveling process? After I park, it “settles” a few inches most of the time.

Thank you. So it's normal to hear that noise as the leveling process begins?

Yes, there is A noise when the auto-level occurs. I'd describe it as more of a groaning hum than a swoosh, though. I tend to notice it only when standing at the rear unloading stuff and feel the level dropping and hear the background hum of the hydrolics or electrical system or whatever powers it.
