Fantastic car. Had the pleasure of seeing it up close. Props to the builder done a fantastic job. Hope to see you guys come past head office again soon
Love it, good to see unique one off modified 4wds, well done Sebastian I always loved the G wagon. I myself is building a one off in Australia Jeep WH/WK no other like mine and only just started. Good stuff guys keep up the good work.
Very Cool Truck. Full credit to Seb and Chris for the build, Just a few teething problems. getting the fuel and water lower on Mark 2 will know doubt be on the agenda. Cant wait to see it.
I really like this car. But taking a gasoline G63 as a base vehicle is insane. After knowing it tipped: Never mount close to 200L of liquids on top. Mount them to the sides or the back. Chainsaw on top. all heavy boxes in the trunk.
I was watching the video thinking the guy who did this build got completely carried away. Then I read in the comments that the car rolled on its first outing. Such a shame...but in no way is it surprising. Unfortunately the ultimate example of 'all the gear and no idea'....but coming from a professional that was paid to have some idea. I don't get it.
wonder how it passed ADR with exhaust pipes under rear windows ? no wonder this thing went on it's side, way too much weight up top, like at least 200kg ?
@@chriscarruthers8370 i wonder how they got it "10.1.1. the exhaust outlet must extend at least 40 mm beyond the furthermost outboard or rearmost joint of the floor pan which is not continuously welded or permanently sealed which could permit direct access of exhaust gases to the passenger compartment, but not beyond the perimeter of the vehicle when viewed in plan; 10.1.2. the exhaust outlet, if to the side of the vehicle, must discharge to the right hand side of the vehicle and downwards at an angle to the horizontal of not less than 15 degrees and not more than 45 degrees" it basically fails both of these. so how did merc pass it? lots of cash ?
Looks nice. Great motor. I do wonder if the money has gone into the right places.... AGM battery and a ctek 25? Redarc redvision and lithium battery maybe would have been better. Neat control panel for managing all those stedi lights. nice vehicle though, and great work on the editing and review! Chris was a little hard to get a word out of you did well...
Depends on where he lives...In Germany, the US, Canada, Russia, etc., lithium batteries are useless since they won't take a charge below 32 degrees F. I love Lithium and hope they soon find a way to counteract this issue...Your points are valid though...
Awesome set up but for the price he paid he could of had a ram 2500 super tourer from patriot campers with all the nuts and bolts and comfort, however its a great concept for a 4x4 the G wagon 6x6 is very cool just cant get them here in oz 😭😭😭
That's the truth...I am glad to see the owner use it for its intended purpose, but brother, take that crap off the roof, and if necessary, haul a ruggedized small trailer for the water and the spare...Keep the COG as low as possible.
Gibbet Hoskins already being sorted. No one in Aus does an aux fuel tank nor was interested in making a one off, 8week lead time on one from Italy gave us no choice but to put fuel on roof for the first trip.
@@chriscarruthers8370 Nice, unfortunately that 12" lift is going to play a big part too on steep rutty tracks, it's just physics. See a lot of big lifted rigs end up on their side for this reason. Does look cool though, but not so much when you roll it. I imagine that roll over would have cost a fortune, with all that carbon etc.
DownUnderBikeLife Mate agreed, it’s not my thing I can appreciate someone building that it has some factor and everyone to there own, but seems not fit for purpose to me, the range alone, mud dirt sand etc, luxury is not for the outback, carbon bonnet if you can afford it but flares, even if not rolled you still rub banks trees all sorts of shit even deep ruts, rocks stones flying up, as you say the top end load is usually what everyone is trying to avoid not create.

my dream car, brabos you have to be in there head to have good finish i don,t like what they did at all. nothing that helping when you are really off road except the arb fridge
Hmmm By the sounds of it The "real" beadlock rims used would make any insurance on this vehicle void. Something different...

There are DOT approved beadlocks...The MB 4x4 Squared is one; the Hutchinson Rock Monster is another...And I believe there are a couple more that have double bead that make them legal as well...We will see more in the future.
Beautiful G Wagen, but to high, top heavy, should not have more then 100kg on roof, this was poorly planned a waste of money and a recipe for disaster,
@@zombiefighterof1987 I disagree. Just because the engine can make a lot of power, doesn't mean it needs to use that power all the time. Even if you put an engine half the size in it, that vehicle would still use roughly the same amount of fuel, except, you would be using more of the available power under normal driving, as the vehicle would still require the same amount of power to move it through the air. This is about fluid dynamics more than about anything else. There is a reason why Teslas looks the way they do. If the exterior of the vehicle was designed like a more 'normal' car, they mileage on them would be A LOT less, for the same reason as the mileage on this thing is so bad.
@@johncitizen8253 The massive 5,5L V8 definitely affects fuel economy, if it were say a 3.0 v6 or some other smaller engine it would use less fuel since it's smaller displacement.
So? Some peoples time is worth far more than what it would take to wrench it...And wrenching is not for everyone...I'm sorry, did you build your house from the ground up, build ALL the vehicles you and your family ever owned; personally grow all the food you ate? Man the jealousy on this site is like a massive stench from the heart to the mouth to the air...

Sam can see the future. Didn't it end up on its side in the high country?
Yes
look at how much weight is on the roof, if it goes around a corner too fast it'd roll so no wonder why they put it on its side
@@derykzegveld7172 On a 12 inch lift too... Great truck, but you're kind of asking for it at that point
Clayton Hutchinson Video?? How’d you hear this?
JayzR8 I heard it through Instagram, but at the end of the video he shows it on its side
Beautiful build! This man spent a fortune
3:41 You jinxed him there sam!!
Was thinking that that's too much weight up there. At the end of the video I was like oh snap!
the irony being that this car is the definition of bought.
That’s what I thought 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
This lift is unbelievable. 37" is like 31"
probably that bloody water tank on the side that tipped her over hope there wasn't too much damage
18:38 😱oh man, i feel for the guy
Another great rig rundown cant wait to see more
Very Cool Truck. Full credit to Seb and Chris for the build, Just a few teething problems. getting the fuel and water lower on Mark 2 will know doubt be on the agenda. Cant wait to see it.
The 4.7L version was fitted to the G500. The G63 has 5.5L
Andreas Koumides yeah I’ll own that mix up 😫 nerves were in full swing in front of camera haha
Chris Carruthers no problem man mistakes happen. It’s an amazing build wish I could something like that one day😂.
Andreas Koumides thanks mate, it has been quite the project but so good to see it all come together and be used
@Chris Carruthers Great job mate! 🙂👍🏽
M.A.W Thankyou. Keep an eye on insta. It’s always evolving 😉😁
WHAT A BEAST! is there any more footage of this vehicle offloading?
Fuck that’s a lot of weight up high. Wouldn’t be surprised if that thing rolls. Especially in vic high country. All show no go.
It’d be great to see the owner posting on youtube, to show how well this baby performs!
Imagine if he had a 'kings awning'! ahahahaha
Did Chris ever mention where he got the Edition 1 decals from? They look great on the G!
Sick Rig
What a weapon!
Very nice car 👌
I don't think you had to be a rocket scientist to figure out it was way too top heavy. Live and learn I guess.
It’s a 5.5 litre V8
Austin Trajkovski yeh I was confused. Because before I saw the interior they only come in 4 litre or 5.5 litre in the older one which this one is.🤔
I really like this car. But taking a gasoline G63 as a base vehicle is insane.
After knowing it tipped:
Never mount close to 200L of liquids on top. Mount them to the sides or the back. Chainsaw on top. all heavy boxes in the trunk.
So this is what your rig would look like if you bought the most expensive of every accessory, can’t say it looks bad not gonna lie

Many G Wagons in the ADF. You could probably get one at auction in about 15 years.
And they carry only a cam net on the roof.

Yo nice rig I’m getting a gq patrol in 6 years we did have one but we bought a navavara
haha what?
In 6 years
Did that tittle say only one in aus ? Theres definitely more in aus
Hi Sam, yep the G wagon is an impressive thrust of cash, bought not built, pull it down mate just a wad full of cash not a home engineered like yours
I dare say there was a conversation where the owner said you’re not allowed to put it as bought 1st
Keep it wild !
Cheaper to fly around Australia in a private jet....... Wondering if this is a yellow sticker magnet... Nice ride 👍🏽
ONE BIG ROCK .fun way too spend MONEY.
Very nice & tough
Thats a lot of rotating mass in the rims/tyres! Worst mass for fuel usage. Crazy rig.
All that money and he steal cheaped out on lithium 😅
Good video Mate
wonder how it passed ADR with exhaust pipes under rear windows ? no wonder this thing went on it's side, way too much weight up top, like at least 200kg ?
The exhaust out the side is stock on the AMG
@@JimmyStewpot i know that, thats why im asking how it passed our ADR compliance.
psy06 Mercedes benz has the ADR compliance for the side pipes. They are stock exhausts on all v8 Gwagons in AUS/worldwide
@@chriscarruthers8370 i wonder how they got it
"10.1.1. the exhaust outlet must extend at least 40 mm beyond the furthermost outboard or rearmost joint of the floor pan which is not continuously welded or permanently sealed which could permit direct access of exhaust gases to the passenger compartment, but not beyond the perimeter of the vehicle when viewed in plan;

Why does it use so much fuel? Because it's about an aerodynamic as a brick. The faster you go, the more aero plays a role in fuel consumption.
