Regarding the G550, there's an auxiliary transmission cooler mounted directly to the front bumper in the center. I've done a frame swap on one of these before. They aren't complicated at all. The front, rear and transfer case differentials can be locked. Front and rear lockers are hydraulic, center one is vacuum.

Love this new “3 video a day” format so far! I do think it would be interesting if you did 2 videos a day each about 15-20 minutes, one at the copart yard and one at your shop. But I understand that would be way more work
@wernerdanler2742 Жыл бұрын
These Gwagens were originally designed for the German military. That's why they are so solid. They can weigh over 5500 pounds. That's why they get such crappy mileage. That tie rod is pretty solid, so I'm surprised to see it broken. I'd say they went over a big rock and slammed the front end down on it. I'd like to see it as a project. Hope you get it. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, Randy. 😊

Hey Randy, so far, I love the new format! More frequent and shorter previewing the next vehicle to come at the end love it love it love it! congratulations on your views! I’ve been saying all along. You are absolutely hands-down, best automotive channel on KZbin! So, I’m not surprised! I see you picking up about 1000 subscribers a day. I think you should be closer to the number of views you get in subscribers, and I bet you will at some point! As I’ve said many times before the variety of vehicle’s, the passion and enthusiasm you bring for these vehicles, which is sincere! You’re sharing your personal feelings about the cars and things in your life, makes us feel as if you are a friend and makes your channel a daily joy in our lives!

Hi Randy, I watched a Copart Auction on another channel a short time ago. They had a G550 that seemed to be in better shape. It went for $13,000. So Maybe this one with its problems could go for less. And also the 3 video format will be OK. To me it don't matter I enjoy your channel no matter what way you put out the videos.

FYI, those Gs were built for military purposes long time before they came up with the civilian version. They became popular after local farmers got their hands on through the army inventory sell outs. Once they realized how durable they are, everyone wanted to get one. Few year later MB decided to make civilized version and there you have it. This car is a tank and the only thing that may go wrong are options that made this car "civilized".
