Mercedes G-Wagen height?
Discussion
Just wondering if someone can give me an actual height for a W463 (1990-97) pre-facelift G-wagen? I have looked online and found both 1.84 m quoted and 1.925 m. It may be the latter relates to post-facelift cars. It would be a keeper and so I would prefer to keep it indoors - but my garage has 1.86 m clearance under the door. Not so much of an issue with the Porsche 968 that is in there at the moment.
If it fits I am thinking of one, probably a petrol SWB, early to mid-1990's, as a weekend car and for occasional off road use at work. I would probably go to Germany and get one as LHD is not a big concern. I have done one import before so I am fairly comfortable with the process, though if anyone has done the same recently it would be interesting to hear....?

Phew! Possible 2.0 mm clearance eh?
Very tyre dependant to be honest - and amount of tread left and tyre pressures.

I'm thinking that if the factory height is 1.84 m, and in the absence of any 'upgrades', then it looks doable - especially as over the years the springs will probably have settled. Otherwise I may just need to keep some heavy tools in the car!Gassing Station | Mercedes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
