G Wagon VS 4 Runner in Deep Snow: Miserably Stuck, Broken Winch, and Terribly Fun

- Which one dominated the snow the best? The 2015 Mercedes G550 on 35s, or the 2015 Toyota 4Runner on 35s? You've been asking for this off road comparison, so here it is. My buddy Theo and I had a blast making this video, even though we almost didn't make it out 😆. Should we do another rock crawling comparison?
Damn, that Runner build is super nice.
It sure is. Theo (the owner) did a great job on it!
Your G is awesome!!! Love the videos. Can't wait till I have something like that!
Appreciate ya dude!
They are affordable now.
I love video and the channel! I think you should do a a g wagon buyers guide, I’m curious to know the differences between the model years and how the reliability of each one, (especially on a budget).
Fantastic suggestion! Its on my video list thanks to you.
Also, thanks for being here and commenting. Welcome to the channel!
Both awesome and capable rigs! I don't understand the pointless competitions some have either. Get out and have fun in whatever you built!
❤❤❤❤
I echo what Theo said - ❤️❤️❤️🤘💪😎
Thanks for sharing, love G wagon , it sounds amazing. 4Runner with 35” looks amazing
Thanks my dude! 😎 💪🤘 Appreciate you!
12:34 this situation here is why you don’t go alone
Exactly! Agree!
A 4Runner and a wolf, it just can not get better, if you ask me...
😎💪🤘❤️
Yes we absolutely should do a rock crawling comparison once
Triple locked vs twin locked
Yeah homey! All we need is some open trails or a trip to Moab 💪😎
Dont threaten me with a good time
Just subscribed since I want to see more G-Wagen content. Would be cool to see some build videos if you have any.
Rock on dude! Welcome! I have 2 build tours on my channel. My white 2015 G550, and another guys 2006 G55 AMG on portals. Check em out here.

Or did you mean videos of the build processes?
I think your V8 sounds fantastic.
💪 thanks my dude!
Always knew the G-Wagen was stout. I would love to be able to afford an 80’s diesel as well as your generation.
Both are sick vehicles with different character.
I am running MTs now, but I prefer ATs over MTs in snow any day.
I can see that. I like MT until you need to float on deep stuff. Then AT for the win.
Man that's a gorgeous dog! Love the G too. Really want to do something similar one day.
You totally should. This is a dream build come to life. Do it 😀
And thank you! The 2 white dogs are mine - the wolf is Theo's 🤘
❤🎉
Crazy how a few inches (or feet, lmao) of snow turns an easy green trail into a hard blue, if not a black.
It sure is humbling!
What trail is this? At first, I thought it was Bunce School Road.
It’s time for that portal conversion!
If I find a sponsor, then yes!!
Are portal and a lift two different steps? Or can you do portal without a lift?
They are different. But yes you can do portals with the factory suspension and get 4 to 5 inches of lift and the ability to run 38s. Expect to spend about 50k for it tho.
Any vehicle would get stuck in that! What winch are you running?
I looked at that drift and said, yeah I'll probably get buried, but let's give it a shot.
I'm running a Superwinch, but I can't remember what Theo has on his 4Runner.
high centered not high sided
Good catch! I miss spoke. Thanks for correcting me!
@@gwheeln it's my pleasure
hi, do your parktroinc still working in this rear bumper? i wanna buy one like that
You can get the sensors to work :) it may require drilling but doable!
how many miles can your fuel last doing something like this?
In these conditions I got 6mpg 🫣
@@gwheeln oh boy. I guess that’s the big downside of the v8 and the weight?
That's the nature of off-road driving, and snow is the worst because of how much power you push. I get about 2x that normally 😆
What are you guys running for tire pressures?
Started at 8.3
Went down to 6
Sorry, posted my question before I got to the end of the video where you mentioned tire pressure.
All good homey! Thanks for being here and for the comment.
🎉🎉🎉
❤💪😎🤘
A bit of a general question, how much rich I need to be to maintain same model G-wagon
You can get older model Gs from 30-60k. It's far more reasonable than most think!
@@gwheelnis 2018 the way to go?
IMO early 2000s - 2015 for off-road builds. 2016 - 2018 if you want the classic G with most modern tech.
What size lift for a 2002 G500 to fit 35s?
I’m on 22” Amg rims with Toyo Proxies ST III 305/40R22 114v; and meanwhile 2025 Ram trucks are towering above me at 🚦 . What can I do here without spending a fortune?
You'll need a 4" to fit 35s. Check out Jackwagon Overlanding.
You can do 34s on a 2" and the lift will be significantly cheaper.
@ does it feel more or less safe after the 4” lift? Do you think I could do 35”s with 22” rims? I love my black Amg rims. Have you seen it done before?
@@SouthernBitcoiners you really want the largest sidewall you can when you offroad. I’m thinking that 18” rims might be the smallest you can mount to a G-Wagen
4" lift is noticeably more tippy than 2". You need 4" to fit 35$ and 2" for 33s
Wtf is 205/12.5/17?
I get having fun with your rig in the snow but go buy snowmobiles that’s made for the snow and quit trashing your rigs. But I guess anything for content! Lol
This was fun first, content second. Theo and I love snow wheeling. It's a different kind of adventure.
@@mattreninger1678 how in any way are they being trashed? lol
They are built and fortified to withstand abuse not crawl around mall parking lots
This is what driving a 4wd looks like 😂
