No No No.......they're at the detail shop!

1979-'81-'85 Toyota 4x4's all rolled into one /wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif

 

I use to work on merceddes trust me there getting them fixed!)

 

I can not wait until BMW makes a SUV. Now that would be the ultimate driving machine.

 

I especially can't wait to see them in the ditch come winter time. Ever notice that the ditch-dwellers are always expensive SUV's? You never seem to see the $10-beaten-with-the-sheetmetal-ugly stick vehicles stranded. Just a thought

MudFlap 87 YJ POS!!

 

Not off-road it won't be!! It will be the ultimate stuck machine!

Too bad the M-class isn't another UNIMOG.. hehe I'd actually be interested in one then.. hehe.. It'd see off road at least 75% more than on road too...

btw- i saw a mercedes land rover looking type of vehicle at the airport. the only thing i have heard of this one is its price tag($100,000 ). whats the model # of that one. oh, and it looked too clean to have ever been off road, its a shame, but the new m-class? looks like a tall station wagon, or better yet, the product of a station wagon mating with a minivan

 

If I ever have to spend $100k, I'll get a HUMMER, not some luxury piece... I'd rather have something that will actually work off road as well as the street.. hehe That and there's the bad a$$ factor you take on while in the HUMMER... People look at you differently, or so I've heard.. hehehe

$100 grand for a hummer- i test drove one and they are no comfort vehicle I'll tell you that. tell you what, I'll take the $100 grand and invest it into my YJ, hows that? then have some leftover to buy more jeeps.

 

That sounds like a good plan as well... Build up one Jeep for each day of the week... /wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif/wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif/wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif

so is this daimler chrysler thing gonna affect our jeeps? i hope not.

 

We'll probably get more cup holders out of the deal. And maybe heated mirrors and seats LOL!

that thing you saw was a glendewagon. it is a very capable land rover type suv. they sold it for one year in the US, but is ws too hard core for the mercedes crowd. glendewagon means "earth car" in german.

LA wheeling

These things I see more and more around town here in LA. LA is such a wierd f-ing place. People drop a minimum ot $40k on a 4wd luxo wagon, always hoping never to see dirt. It is just to get up highway 395 w/o chains to get to their condo in Mammoth to go skiing. It is really a laugh. BTW the 4wd doesn't mean a damn to the highway patrol, they make you put em on with a car and street tires like that.

Think of a gal in full demins and cowboy boots (with silver spurs, no really) in Calabasas (old ranching area, but "rustic" and mega $$$) in the do-it-yourself place having somebody load plastic garabage cans into the rear seat of her 635 BMW...

It's all image baby....

 

Yes, Diamler-Chrysler is messing up the Jeeps. First, they kill off the Cherokee, the only newer SUV with a solid front axle, then they replace it with that ugly IFS 'Liberty'. I hope that isn't a sign of things to come.

LOL !!! Pickin' on Merc-drivers......
The G-wagon you saw is actually one of the most capable off-road rigs you can buy off the shelf. Full time 4x4, manual 100% lockers front/middle/rear, great articulation with solid/solid on coils. Add the tires for your style of wheelin' and you're set.
I know people who take them from the dealer directly thru the Sahara desert without any other mods than sandtires.
Pricetag here in Germany starts at 45k$US plain, no electrics......
