drool drool slobber slobber :shock: :shock: :shock:

In dimensions it corresponds to the usual "full-size pick ups at the US-American market, but the powerful black behemoth comes from Graz. To the striking appearance but he was only in Verden. The Wolf Factory created a unique G 500th The spacious passenger compartment of the long G-Class has been completely preserved and complemented by a very large well-usable cargo area. This G 500 pick up was built for a German customer. The car shows the potential in a modular system of the G-class stage, and what you can do with it.

The Wolf-Factory, based in Verden on the Aller has since 2005 specialized in conversions of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. 1.800qm in the great halls of the company are exclusively Mercedes G maintained, a different type of vehicle they search here in vain. The staff consists of Mercedes G experts in the workshop to be rebuilt or restored all G models whether built in 1979 or 2010. Even unusual requests are fulfilled.

Re: G55 Extended Pick Up

I think the proportions are a bit out, but that would sure work for me. Stick a oil burner in there, shorten the back a bit and fit a rifle rack, and it would be perfect.

Nice find!

Can anyone photo shop the dimensions to standard length please?

Looks great, no good on our roads though, perfect for occasional use :shock:

Get a cage for him/her. If possible just borrow one until he or she is trained.

Looks like a Hummer wannabee, whereas the Humvee should dream of being a G ?

I reckon you could build one of those on a G-ambulance XLWB chassis. I'm going to try it as a future project, probably single cab though, much easier.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue have 12 extra lwb crewcabs (Super G290 Turbo), but badged as Puch and the pick-up bed is a drop side unit with removable GRP hard top. One day, they will want to dispose of them.... now there's a thought. :D
