My 2-door G-Wagon Truck Tour - 1991 Mercedes Benz G300D

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 มิ.ย. 2024
- It's really called a G-Wagen, short for Gelandewagen which means off-roading vehicle, but if hashtags have taught me anything it's well, nothing.
ANYWAYS! I bought this truck 2 years ago. It's a 1991 two door Mercedes G-Wagon, which I bought in Germany and imported here to the US. They never sold 2 door G-Class' in the states, so this is a pretty unique truck to have!! I have modified it pretty significantly. Here I take you on a tour of it and tell you everything I've done. If you see me rolling around Los Angeles be sure to throw up a Shaka and yell YEWWWW at me!!

Thanks for watching!! I am new to creating content on a weekly basis so let me know what you liked, or didn’t like in the comments below!
your G-Wagon is one of the coolest off-road vehicle,the 2-door version is unusual.hoping more volg about your G :)
got an update coming!
Ive got a 91 300GE and its so nice to see someone else appreciate these trucks like I do
I'm totally in love in your truck! Very tasty mods, well done!
omg look how beautiful the interior is
Love the G - tastefully modified!!
Awesome! Great truck and love your mods!
Congrats on the G-Wagon! Looks amazing
Awesome truck, great overview!!
Awesome G !! Congrats !!!
Your channel is a hidden gem on TH-cam! def waiting for more videos:)
Cole, G class is in a class of it's own and modifying it to fit what you like is totally awesome. I have a 1990 LWB 250GD that I bought when I was in Italy. I have done a lot in restoring it and I love the thing. My setup as of now is all stock. I plan to change out the front and rear seats with the Mercedes ML 320 leather seats. The current ones I have in mine are the original bucket uncomfortable military grade ones that I dislike. Upgrading to the leather heated ones is gonna allow me to enjoy it more. I also want to tint the windows and maybe a small stereo, fender flares, rims and roof rack. It's a slow project for me. Keep up the good work and hope to see more in your build.
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. The SWB just feels like an entirely different beast with it's turning radius!
thanks dude!!! haha oh yah I can turn on a dime. it's the best!!!
Great video bro. I can’t wait to get one.
Very cool truck! For years I worked at car dealers and have sold many of these. Unfortunately I was never able to own one of my own or even remotely get close to off-roading and even trying out one of those three locking diffs...
Super cool rig man. I like it very much, especially with the tasteful mods that you have done. plus it's a stick in diesel in my opinion better than what is around new from Ben's right now in the states
Cole, Love what you have done with your G!! I live in San Diego and I have a 1986 300GD, the front of my G is lower than the front and I was wondering where you purchased the spring spacers I was looking at buying new springs but I thought spacer might work.
Thats a nice rig Cole! Safe travels on this robust and rigid car
Really cool Gwagen. Those cup holders are awsome. Where can I find them for my G?
Looks great! The finishes on the mods look really clean, I've been looking at getting one of these (UK Based)!!
thanks!! probably a lot easier to get out in the UK!!
@@colewalliser easier as there are more of them, but they can be more pricey than what I've seen in the US. Also the places you can go in the US are much better, especially California. 👌
Now I'm staying in Romania,Here's so many tow door Gs , those are really cool looking
How so gorgeous and historical car.
1st.Gen. to lastest Gen. Looks same.
Therefore I love it 😍 G-Wagen
You have a very cool car. Congrats.
subscribed just to see your awesome g-wagen. Looking forward to see another video of the beast.
Wow! Tremendously awesome 😍😍😍
woo ohooo!! Thank you!!!
Nice video with great content! What are the value of a 1990 ish G-wagon in your state at the moment?
Wow awesome truck! Although I must admit, I much preferred the stock look. Nothing better than some steelies.
Extraordinary car , I want one of this 300 gd
Super cool great job
Beautiful!!!!!
Sick overlander rig! You ever need an assistant lmk! I’m learning film and photography and am building a van! Let’s get up bro! 🤙🤙
Hi Cole, first of all props on your amazing vids! I just bought a stock mercedes 280GE from 1988 and was wondering how you attached the fender flares onto your car? Did you have to drill any holes or is there any specific mounting material you got with yours?
I love it, I'm a fellow G-wagon guy. I've been slowly building out my 2001 G500 and really inspired by what you've done to yours. I've also got a Pioneer headunit with upgraded speakers, getting Falken Wildpeaks. I actually really like the look of the front runner roofrack setup and accessories: 1) Is it the TALL or STANDARD height mounts? 2) Was there any reason behind choosing which side for the awning to pop out or does it extend towards both sides? Hope to see more stuff, keep it up!
Have you still got the G as not seen any more footage. Such a cool car.
Insane car!!! Please send me the link for the roof rack, i have a new jimny i really liked your car man! Keep it 100
G-wagon the best for travel round the world , one bonjour from FRANCE ......
nice rig 👌👍
nice looking G
love it!!! i want a 2 door 👍💎💎💎
Hello! I hope you are doing well. Out of curiosity what website or service did you use to find your car? I've had little luck getting feedback on both Trovit and Reezocar which seem to make up a lot of classic G-Class sales. Thank you and have a great day!
Will you be doing an updated truck walk with your new build ?
sooooo cool!!!!
Really enjoyed your video. How hard was it to shorten your sidesteps ? I would be keen to know as I want to do the same on my SWB.
hey Steve, it was easy! because I just paid someone to cut them :P They didn't seem too concerned, so I think a lot of people could do it for you!
@@colewalliser Many thanks Cole.
Hello. I have exactly the same model of class G from 1992, which I am in the process of restoring entirely, I find your particularly stylish, the rims that you have mounted on it came from a g400? (Sorry for the english, Google traduction)
greeting from corsica
What a fantasticly cool project man! I live in Belgium, so they are a bit more common here. From your experience... does the G300D have enough power to drive in regular highway traffic? That's one thing that still keeps me hesitating to buy one. How is the fuel economy? And do you have the auto or manual transmission? Is the wind noise on the highway as bad as it is in for example a land rover defender? Sorry for the multiple questions, but I'm very interested in hearing from your experience!
Thanks! greetings ~ V-E
I can answer to at least one of your question - his G is manual :)
This is old school truck I suppose about a 90/100k per hour is the sweet speed for cruising, all non turbo are little (or quite) a bit underpowered, but the whole idea of this beauty is the off-road abilities. Off the road is where it shines at its full glory. It is also cool to go to the coffee, but with the stupid regulations we getting in EU it will getting harder and harder to use it as daily drive :(
I love the truck
Europa Motors in New Mexico had the franchise for G-wagens in the US. They federalised them, at great expense, and sold them in the 80s and 90s, mostly to rich people and celebrities.
It was only in the late 90s the Mercedes North America started importing them.
Like your truck and I am planning to import a diesel G-wagen. Can you tell me the Mercedes part number for the folding cup holder? Thanks!
Good content , if you an indonesian youtuber , u probably going rock
Looks absolutely unreal! Are you able to hint at how much all the mods + the car ended costing you?
Sorry and can you let me know how you were able to find one for sale? Did you find it online?
I have the same truck , is the best
send pics!!! hit me on instagram I wanna see!
Elver Galarga Are they reliable?I plan to buy one , thanks :)
ya hair style is also awesome mate am trying for that kind am adventure guy
Awesome job bro. My cuz Rich Rama and buddy Ajay turned me onto your ride. great stuff. I just finished building an International Scout @scoutiipippen on Instagram. Was looking at the Front runner rack as well. Didnt know they did Rooftop tents as well.
I’m also based in LA and currently looking at purchasing a 2 door 1990 G-Wagon
Who services yours?
Thanks!
Hello, what wheel studs did you used with the 50mm spacers? And how long they are?
ya ma inspiration mate don't let me dow
I have the same car where did you get your cup holders
Who’d you work with on CA smog compliance? I’m about to pick up a Japanese import which has already been registered with clean import, VIN, and title, but it’s not CA smog (CARB) compliant. Would love some pointers so I know how much to budget.
hey dude! I think the budget will vary, but mine was done by G&K Auto in Orange County! Best of luck!
How much money you got into this so far?
Any details on the rear tire fabrications; dimensions!?
Could do a new video of your G ?
Bro what brand is the ladder
Coooooooool
yay thanks for checking it out!!
She’s beautiful 😍
WHERE DID YOU BOUGHT IT ?? I WANT ONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE I CAN GET ONE FOR A GREAT PRICE....
Mobile.de
Where I can get this model 😎
I own 5 g wagens with the oldest being from 1981 and it has an ac so how comes yours didn't have one?
mine came from Germany! they didn't all have them, all 5 of yours had ac??
@@colewalliser You can retrofit ac onto your G for about $1200-$1500. I just had one from 1990 imported to Miami, it has factory AC, cant wait for it to arrive.
It was an option not a standard feature.
Hi Cole, I am interested in doing overlanding. Can hook me up on how to get CA license. Om swastiatu
Не ну агонь
Can you help me to buy this one please
motor ????
Решётки на фары установлены не правильно)))
ya missing offroad bumpers Hammer bumpers or as ya wish
if you ever sell , hit me up
Update
300GD is better than post W463s
it didn't come from Germany its made in Austria
you need to learn about wheels and lifts. This is the most uneducated build, suspension is not good or safe and the spacers are not good or safe.
“but my wheel bearings” you say? There’s no difference in load applied if you chose a wheel in a different offset vs a proper hub centric bolt on wheel spacer. Nothing dangerous about it.
His suspension is also fine. Coil spring spacers are used to adjust height On various corners of Mercedes cars from FACTORY. The 40-50mm he has are perfectly fine. Though, I would’ve had them installed on TOP of the spring in the cups.
@@Gelandelocks I think I asked for them on the top but then when I got the truck back they were on the bottom lol.
@@colewalliser they get put on the bottom because they're easier to install that way. sort of a lazy shop method lol. truck looks great, hopefully I see it at a G amboree or club g event !
@@Gelandelocks yah man! been trying to get out to a Gamboree!! maybe in the fall 👌🏼
Stop calling it a truck... a wagon is a wagon not a truck
I mean it might not be a truck, but it's definitely not a wagon lol
