2k, I didn't mean as an insult, I have just found that jeep people find it difficult to blieve the abilities of the G wagon, it is one of the last SFA SRA SUVs out there. While in america they only offer the LWB, fully loaded model it would not be easy to follow a wrangler in some rock conditions (remember there are times LWB is better then short and short better then long, there is no question about that). If you compare a SWB G to a SWB wrangler (i say that b/c of the new ugly ass strech version they make), you would notice they are VERY equal. The G comes with 3 locking differentials as does the jeep (I believe). As far as mud, with stock rubber to stock rubber i'd give the nod to the Jeep, being that it has more aggressive tires from the factory then an america spec'd G which is designed for street duty here. With identical tires, I would say the G and warnger are even, maybe the G is slightly better if the Wrangler does not have a center diff lock. One thing is for sure, 95 percent of American G wagon owners will not wheel with their rides so we are left with what I have done/seen and what I have been able to view. Each has their +s and each has their -s, there is NO one perfect vehicle. For your needs you like the jeep, for me, I love being able to wheel in complete comfort complete with auto air and Navi system with a killer radio. The one place I give the huge nod to the G is in street manors and build quality. Something about being hand build is just awsome and vault like.

 

I was just f'n around more than anything. I dig the G wagon, have since they came to the states. Wouldn't be my first choice for an Offroad vehicle, but I see the advantages aminities wise and comfort wise. I've never seen a SWB G, but if its anything like the Land Rover Defender 90, then I'd say its pretty damn cool I've wanted a Defender 90 for a long time. I've just always been a fan of SWB 4x4's besides Full Size Bronco's and Blazer's.

And if you have any pics of you wheelin the G Wagon, post em I'd like to check it out....

 

Yeah, I'll get some wheelin picks up here for ya......I also got a site for ya http://www.4x4abc.com/G-Class/ almost anything you ever wanted to know about the G and ML class

 

Jeep > G-Wagon.. (Sorry, just want to add to the argument.

Anyways, I'm interested to see the specs on the Sierra. I have a real hard time believing it runs 13s as is..

 

Parts....
1 Intake
1 4" exhaust (any brand will do)
1 or 2 Power programers
1 Suncoast Converter with transgo shift kit and clutches

Instant sports car challenger

Dynos over 900 ft lbs of torque without question....

 

What year is it? I know that the 2001's and 02's were based off the LS1 with 5.3L.. has 285 hp (crank), 232 bwhp.. and runs the 1/4 stock at very high 15's, almost 16's...

So are you leaving anything out? How does intake, exhaust, a power programmer, and a converter with shift kit net you 3 seconds off 1/4 mile times? I could see a second.. maybe mid to high 14's.. but I just don't see a 5000lb truck running low 13's on basic mods..

I'm not trying to dog on ya, just curious, that's all.
