Found a good buy? Had some good service? Found a dodgy product or had dodgy work done. Let us all know. We all want to know about the good buys and warn us before throwing our money away on useless crap!

The only failure is that they expected the shocks to handle the terrain. I doubt any other manufacturer could make it through on standard shock

I am picking most people who poke fun at a G Wagen have never owned one and probably never will...beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is nice but don't knock another mans mule unless you have ridden it.
