Truck Tour Video + Mercedes Takeover

Post#1 » Wed Sep 26, 2018 7:44 am

What's up everybody!

I have some exciting news. For the next 3 days I'm doing a takeover on the Mercedes Benz USA Instagram

I gave them a variety of videos and images and together we crafted a story that will play out over a few days. Needless to say, I'm super excited about this!!

To support this, I filmed a Truck Tour where I do a walk around and talk about all of the mods and the history of the truck a little bit. I figured it would be of interest here (especially since I haven't been too active on here as of late)

Anyways, just wanted to share! (also does is it possible to embed a YouTube video here? How do you do it?)

Mad props to the person who did the photography and editing. Seriously, ya'll have potential. Also amazing taste in what a G-class should be. And I've to agree, a ladder on a car is the coolest thing ever.

I can totally just see people come up to your truck and go crazy about the fact that this G is a two door. This truck geniunly seems rare.

Congratulations Cole! It's not the first time, and hopefully not the last that you'll bring "real" Gwagen use to the public eye. Excellent work!

Cole - a cool video from a real enthusiast - you seem even shy at times :lol:
This being said your hand brake seems to secure a bit hit - time to adjust brake jaws or do something ;)

Awesome truck and super video.
I just find white with black details G combo perfect. If authorities don’t block, my project will also end in white.

Missing an AC in hot climate sure is a bit of issue but I still think it is possible to piece together almost OEM system. Adding power windows can be done, depending on alarm system maybe also auto close. If you ever come across killer deal on newer wider axles, it is almost a bolt on swap and less worry over wheel bearings what might have little shorter life due spacers.

Good luck!

Everyone says it can be done, but nobody says they can actually do it. :(

Yes, I see you having a no luck with that :(

I got few lines/hoses to sort out, then I have all the pieces for complete AC system. Maybe I can then take lot of pictures, write and explain what is needed, parts codes, where everything is mounted, should work etc. It is not so mystical as sometimes claimed but of-course decent amount of work and parts is needed.

I love a guy who is willing to be real with their reasoning on car mods....great video lots of fun to watch, can't wait to see the truck in person

when discussing excellent sliding window upgrade with downsize of some added wind noose...

now that is the spirit!
