$200,000USD

Someone will buy it, undoubtedly... Just like people buy the G63 4x4 squared

$305k Australian micropesos, up there with new Unimog prices.

First off, it won’t fit in my garage. That’s the only reason I’m not getting it…. … that price

You must have a drive you could keep it on, after all, it's only money and apparently, so they keep telling me, you can't take it with you

 

[Fieldmaster]

Honestly, I was not expecting this. I for sure thought it was gonna be a $20-$40,000 option.

The LeTech G-Wagen portal kit alone is north of $80,000USD; this is lower volume and includes brakes, suspension, winch tray, roof rack, sliders and lights

 

[Fieldmaster]

Very true. I think my wishful thinking was hoping it was gonna be less. It is a really well put together package.

Does it come with more Power??? If so I would be seriously looking into ordering. I've had G wagon Squared before and really did enjoyed it, this would be one that is in my opinion more capable. But it needs more power.

Stock power level

Reasonably easy to increase power on these engines, I guess the limiting issue is the transfer case?

Yawn.. so now you have portal axels but the truck still sounds like shit due to the power steering pump

Yeah, gone are the days of mounting the brackets on Unimog 404 axles to mount them under an old Defender! Doable for under £1000.

I doubt you’d hear it over the noise from those tyres. In the meantime…Turn up your stereo or get a noisy exhaust

The portals and tyres will be steering pump noise cancelling

Are portals noisy?

 

[Baron von Teuchter]

Are portals noisy?

Yeah. Gear whine.

 

[FlyersFan76]

Are portals noisy?

I would say the tires would be noisier than the portals. At least in the Hummer the tires were. But the Hummers only had 2 gears so the axles spun in the opposite direction. Not sure what the Letech portals have. The rocking of the truck when coming to a stop was a cool thing.

What do you mean by “rocking” ?
