2" lift, 285 70R18 tires, pod lights, a few tweaks here and there.

I've been working on this since last August.  Eventually I'll fit some wider AMG fender flares, 30mm wheel spacers, a tune and a full stainless exhaust.  But I like it where it is for now...

Looks like I've had my first major mechanical issue.  The G wouldn't turn over, but I appear to have full electrical power, so I'm guessing the starter motor went.  The M273 engine is actually very, very solid.  Unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Good photo BTW, in case that's any consolation. :golfclap:

Probably going to replace the wheels with 18" G55 AMG wheels.  I might sell the existing wheels/tires and go with slightly taller 285 75R18 versus the 70 series I currently have.  There is more than enough clearance for the additional 1.1" of height, even at full suspension compression.

I replaced the stock flares with wider AMG ones, along with 30mm spring spacers all around.
