You are not Callum using a different name are you?

Suggest you do some googling for the words that go with the pictures you posted above and understand the differences between the various versions.

You will then answer your own questions. As you clearly have not a clue currently :eek:

No idea who "callum" is. I just googled "mercedez forum' and that's how I joined here.

Yes I tried googling differences, gets very complicated. So I came to this forum hopefully u guys will simplify it more for me :D

Why do you want bigger wheels?

As you can see 4x4 model on the picture i shared above.

It looks better, badder, meaner. King of the road.

My previous replies simplified it, please read them. It really isn't complicated, certainly not for anyone who could afford to buy one, in fact easier to spec than most other MB cars.

The bigger badder 4x4 king of the road is the 500 squared, based on the 6x6. If you have around £500k you may get one. If you watch the current Top Gear series on BBC2 one episode has a feature on it, but you'll have to figure that out for yourself. To give you a clue it's yellow in colour.

They are BOTH 4x4 models. What on earth are you talking about?
All G class are 4x4.

So this will never be going off road?
What a complete waste of money. You're buying the wrong car for the wrong reason.
You sound like a 13 year old....and getting a G Class because it looks meaner, badder king of the road will make you look like one too.

I want to modify it to have wheels like the 4x4. Raise suspension and big wheels. is that possible?
Of course it's possible.
So, basically you're looking for one of these:

Yes both are 4 wheel drive.

What i mean by 4x4 is... There is another special model called 4x4squared (with a little 2)

You can see clear difference between 4x4 squared model and normal 4x4 gwagon below

Are you going to use it off road?
If not it's like trying to use an iron as a mobile phone. It's the wrong tool for the job.

There is a squared model - it is s prototype announced in 2015 and is far more involved than just bigger wheels and clip on body parts.

Both of those look exactly like the sort of thing I’d choose to be the off road king of the err road......

Get one with massive off road tyres and you won't be able to drive it at any speed on the roads, it will be horrible

clk3202001,sl6002003 with everything regrettably sold ,A class 170cdi auto. NG/TF1800 ML250
all the non chelsea style G,s are great i have had three, and wish to hxxx i had kept the last ,as per LK i am not a fan of mutton dressed as lamb , but if you can fund an auto version not more than ,say 8yrs old ,you will have a car yr kids can inherit, no joke there they are the best 4x4 , my only reservations would be all the ussual electronic cxap that Will, let you down at some point my G,s were 300GD very slow but unbreakable ran along fine once wound up ,overtaking often required planning. 280GE great motor ,tow bar was for fuel tanker you needed to take with you ! 230GE, the best by far , enough, power for the job,just, great gearbox , manual diff locks and great tranfer box , i looked at one of these https://www.reezocar.com/voiture-occasion/mercedes+benz-benz+10-RZCATMIT257758854.html

last yr thought it fairly well priced, but SL would have to go,not quite ready for that.

We still don't know what the OP wants to use the car for. Is it only for on road use or will there be a lot of off road use. I think this determines what mods are applicable.
