Anyone else see those god-awful welds on the G wagon?

Looks to be buildup of wax undercoating for northern vehicles. I hope it is at least. Edit: holy shit nevermind, I paused on it and holy fuck those are terrible.

Only welding enthuistist care about bead(art) 99% commercial grade engineering doesnt care, thats why most taking it out for expoxy bonding which is lighter

Yeah that’s the panhard bar and probably grease from the bushings…

It's a bunch of grease euro vehicles are over greased from factory to help with rust but it always ends up getting flung everywhere

Damn these welds would look atrocious even for a 20K car... Except this one costs 500K$ somehow

Are you talking about the ends of the panhard bar? I don’t think those are welds.

Less then an inch difference for $100k 13.8 vs 12.9 on the Jeep. 😂😂😂

I'd take the Wrangler all day long.

Not the welds on the G wagon

⁠@@OTRMonkwell than it’s still a bad look for Mercedes to have a mess of grease around the bushings.

So crazy, never see any G Wagons out on the trails

I know when off-roading every inch counts, but… all that engineering just for less than 1 inch of extra clearance?!

Yeah I know! You know what else adds an inch of clearance? Bigger tires…

portal axle atleast yield 2+ inch of clearance. It allows you to run smaller tire for the same amount of clearance, lot of advantage to that like lower mass and reduced load. It also reduces strain on components because driveline run at smaller angle vs a lift. Still the g-class don't even drive near construction site nowadays.

No not smaller tires for more clearance. You’ll loose clearance. Tires and portals add the inches. So simple math $23,000 dollars=1.5 inch of clearance with 37 Vs $1000 skyjacker lift with ADX remote shocks + Reid racing knuckles $1000 plus 2.5 steering arms $800 plus PSC big bore steering kit $2000 plus Adam’s Extreme driveshaft front and back $1400 bead lock rims and tires $3500. Even if you throw I. Dana 60 swaps you’ll still be cheaper than portals. Portals are a scam

*wait how big were the wagons tires?*

Nice! 1in clearance for $20-50k! Easy decision!

One gets taken off road and one doesn’t

Thank you for the info! I sell vehicles at a Toyota store and that’s very useful information to have!

I'm not a welder but that weld looks not so great.

Gear reduction also

Like a AM general Humvee and that POS Buggy that always flipped over before the humvees

One inch doesn’t justify one hundred grand. Nuff said.

One gets used, the other is a pavement princess

The price different between the two rigs is also significant.

Independent suspension helps too...

You forgot the cost , extremely affordable , 15k without installation for the FJ Cruiser, what a steal

Portal axle in the rear but ifs in the front

Did anybody see those welds on the portal axle vehicle

Still take the jeep. Can have fun and find parts and service for normal $

What are those weld’s Mercedes good lord

Solid axles allow for a lot more capability once off road, and anyway no one takes a g-wagon off road except whistling diesel

Was that a weld or play dough

Could someone use portal axels to lower a truck?

$30k more for just one inch!! Jk

Jeep may have worse clearance but I bet it’s travel is way better than that g wagon which has independent front suspension. Ifs is still really capable but the dual solid axles will articulate more. Also WTF is connecting the panhard rod on that g wagon???

Lol my 96 dodge Dakota has 12 in of clearance on 31s..if u had 33s or 35 I would have another inch of clearance

More sh!t to brake for less than 1" of ground clearance..... and you can build a bad azz wrangler and a nice house for one of those AMGs

Dam does G welds

That benz costs 4X more than the wrangler and the jeep still rock climbs better

Niether one of them have 10 ply tires go off road witout them in my area and locust thorns gonna flaten all 4 tires causing a loss of 6 to 8 inches of ground clearance

Just by watching this. You can tell he doesn’t know what he’s looking at. The axle is the same as a normal g wagon. It just has a gear reduction bolted to where the hub bolts on.

Somebody painted over a glob of bubble gum.... 🤔 Still don't know the difference between the axles. Complete tear down needed....

Plus 25 extra parts

"much more", "only", and in the end you're talking about .9 inches and a $$ difference of about $150k between those two cars

if it was a two vehicles in the middle of absolutely no it your entire family the stakes are high to find civilization which one you relying on

We’re talking about less than one inch of ground clearance for a more complicated part. Much more complicated.

The tires were way smaller on the g wagon. Huge difference put 37s on the g wagon and you'll have like a extra 6-8 inches of ground clearance.

@@3lsforyou83 I’m going to guess a gwagon has stock 32s specifically because the huge wheels. 32” tires to 37” is a gain of 5” in heigh but axles are at the middle so 2.5” in height. Your math and knowledge on how a circle works is….I recommend you look up diameter versus radius

Portal axels are rubbish, it's similar to normal saloon cars axels, they made the portal axels this way to reduce the road bumps & make it more comfortable, but in other hands it will have lots of wears & tears .

SOOOO much more ground clearance!!! A WHOPPING .9"!!! AND, you failed to mention the tire diameter on the Mercedes 🙄🙄🙄

$60k more for .9" higher 😑

That's grease not welds you amateurs

Lmao 1 inch for 😂100k

Not that much for b the money

Bad comparison 😂

THE BEST ONE IS THE G-WAGON ❤❤❤❤❤ BUILT FOREVER.

550k vs 100k
