My 2008 G500

I purchased this new in 2008 and have been doing a few modifications here and there since. Karl, Vlad and the guys at Euorotruck have been a huge help. The parts quality and service from Karl has been over the top!

…It clears my garage opening by 1/4 of an inch with 33” BFG M/T’s and the Hannibal.

Re: My 2008 G500

Do you like the BFG KM2's? I am considering those as my next tires.

Re: My 2008 G500

Yes, I really like them (on and off road). Not very loud at all on the highway for a mud terrain tire.

RE: My 2008 G500

Ummmm, I had heard that it was standard in 2008. I've always wanted that option.
Can you post a pic of the switch and its location in the dash/center console?

2008 may be the best model year, IMO.
In fact the 2008 G500 may be the best Gelandewagen ever made.

Looks sweet! Now black out those rims and get rid of the US-spec side markers.

RE: My 2008 G500

Your black G looks G-reat! What did you do to clear the 33's or do they rub? Lift the suspension or what?
