Ahhh yes, the G wagen 6x6 but instead of being a Dubai douche you are a well off hick from south of the Mason/Dixie trying to make your arrival at the next family reunion stuff of legends. I like the hellcat engine...the drivetrain is nothing to call home about though and I don't like the looks. Now if it was on something close to 40" tires and some portal axles, I would need a moment and a Wet One.

Welp...I guess. Instead of a big, diamond encrusted belt buckle, they have a gold Lambo...yeah, same thing.

$289K sounds like hella money, but there's 1500 hours of labour in that thing plus a lot of parts and the cost of a new Jeep too.  I was guessing $350K before he said the price.  The Mercedes 6x6 "stickered" for $500K+US, but I understand you can resell them for more.  Like 2x that!!

WOW....thats a lot of money for a vehicle thats literally the richmans lifted Dodge Ram rig rocket. I don't get the 6x6 fascination, old military truck, sure, a regular vehicle with an extra axle bolted in, meh. Saying that though...I do have a very high attraction to this thing....

no need to spend that kind of money...just get yourself a nice Pinzgauer 6x6...you can likely get a pretty decent one for $25-$30k...heck, they can even tow:

I had lots of seat time in the HLVW



(though I was on the ADATs not the Skyguard in the picture)

Boss offroad until they were stuck. Then a lot of people yelled at you.  ;D

Like anything of size....getting it stuck was a sure fire way to get yelled at as the removal required several vehicles of the same size or bigger.

I was number 11 out of 10 people chosen for direct officer entry training for the Navy. I was assured that someone always drops out, so I should be prepared. No one dropped out.

I mulled over going regular forces when I was in the reserves. I decided not to. I wonder about that decision quite often.
