Old design, but still as beautiful as the day the first one rolled off the assembly line. Just like the VW Beetle. That design was a design that never will get old.
Lots of Jeep fanboys got butthurt. Of course a G wagon isnt cheap, cause is the perfect mix between luxury and off road capability. Sorry but this car is not for everyone.

@@REB4444 2 yrs later and i still agree, put $150k into a $50k wrangler and you can make it a 6x6 with portal axles, and pretty much insulate all the interior (for a more luxurious drive) and cover it with the most plush and beautiful leather and carbon fiber, and get a custom body kit and make it look insane, and swap a hellcat engine into it, and it'll still cost less than the 4x4 Squared, but be a lot better
Y'all are crazy on those hills. You did a great job showing how steep it really was in this video.
Portal axles are sexy and thanks for the funny shot of Nathan getting run over.
The saudi princes will probably enjoy this...

1:00 adding a 6" lift nets exactly no additional ground clearance. It's onlywith larger tires or axle mods that ground clearance is gained.

Do R/C! True with solid axles like a Jeep, tires give you the clearance under the diff. With independent suspension, you do get the height with a lift alone.

if 9" of ground clearance is with 31s, you'd only have 13.5" with 40s. Definitely not getting anywhere near 18" with a wrangler.

Elijah Brooks I've installed multiple suspension lifts both on solid and independent axled vehicles. I agree the lower A-arm may not rise but the frame and most everything attached to the frame will go up. Only difference is the axle on a solid axled vehicle will not rise, but everything else will.

True a lift does not lift the solid axles but it does raise the frame, transfer case, tranny, etc. and helps you from becoming high centered.
Too bad that back bumper couldn't fold up to add the additional ground clearance when offroading

Cool you guys were about an hour from where I live. Gorman has some good trails
That bumper is called a Mansfield Bar
If I could own one if these I'd take it off road very often. Not serious trail and rock crawling because of the price of replacing anything damaged. But sand dunes, mild trails, and ice lake driving it would be perfect.
I distinctly recall an episode in which you showed us where we might procure one of these G-Wagons for significantly less than $200 grand.

you can buy a used one for like 40k and less if you go back to like 2003...people that buy these luxury 4x4's generally always buy new so the used market is usually flooded with unwanted vehicles...my dad bought a 10 year old land rover a few years back for 6k for a truck that went for like 60 new...fixing it is more expensive and they are just as plastic filled, cheaply built as anything out there
I only like the G 4x4^2. I really dont like the normal G-wagon. But the Squared looks amazing
This should be on TFL truck.

Do a comparison of between the G class and wrangler JL. It would be so much fun
Good thing Nathan’s in good shape, that thing would have caught my belly and my head would have plowed a ditch! I laughed when Nathan talked about his Zumba classes, they paid off! Great Video guys! Don’t kill Nathan!!!
I love this car, would be intresting to see the price ranges and ability for a hard core jeep , Toyota cruiser, and the anticipated land rover defender, when ever they come out.
If you have a stock jeep with 9 inches of ground clearance and you lift it 6 inches you get 9 inches of ground clearance 6 inches more articulation though bigger tyres is the only way to give ground clearance even with 35inch tyres you’ll only get 13 inches of clearance
I've taken pics with a Brabus G550 6x6 in Detroit. They are here but in small numbers. One of the Pistons has this (4x4 sq)vehicle. It is a beast! Oh updating a Jeep to similar levels would cost quite a bit and it does nothing for the overall value of the vehicle.
This thing is gonna be amazing in Canadian snow.

Incredible car and capability. Only Mercedes could get away with making a car like this...but for a car designed decades ago; the car is wayyyy overpriced. The profit margin on these things must be huge. Truly think the base G550 should be closer to the 70-80k price bracket.

As long as its a status symbol it will continue to sell and make Mercedes a really good profit.Plus they really don't need to change anything but the G wagon does have some exclusive colors that you can't get in any other Mercedes vehicle.Its whats best for business and its the old saying don't fix what is not broken .Mercedes did not design the G wagon as a status symbol celebrities and the rich did that for them.

Well it seems as if they think it can do it all. Although if it to top heavy I'm not sure I would want to hit a deep hole with one wheel or get on a steep sideways angle. The way Romans acting though it seems to me that he thinks it can be half sports car and half rock crawler. I will admit that I like the way it looks. But is abit of reality to much to ask? I guess it is easier though just to admire the way the thing looks and get carried away.Maybe I'm just to used to seeing Roman poke holes in certain other brands that I found it odd that he was so giddy over this one.
This Rig = AWESOMENESS!!!!! ;)
*No guys with sunglasses were harmed in the making of this video!
Dear Santa...
Portal axles drive the wheel through a planetary gear allowing gear reduction at the wheel, and thus reduced weight and stress for driveline components
I do a lot of off roading and no one ever takes these off-roading, only to the mall.
My dream car 😍😍😍
Nathan how many power wagons for that price?
Gwagons make Roman and their owners happy, that makes this vehicle worth the money.
2:13 man you messed up the rear bumper
I was surprised to see it come it under 300K
Well, hello from Saudi Arabia 😍😎
you guys should review the Paramount Marauder. It will eat this tiny thing.
Amazing vehicle and great video, but please no more freaking BELL!!
The only thing is messing here with these portal axels is the up travel...... I think it’s only like five inches max
Portal adapters are available for any g wagon and they are bolt on. 14k though

If you lift a wrangler 6in you still have 9in of clearance because of solid axles. Larger tires are the only way to gain clearance.
I’d fit bigger wheels because it doesn’t hav a lot of flex, so keep it stock until the tires almost rub, and imagine lifting that thing
