Nothing But Gs

🚨G of the Week: Kyle’s 2009 AMG G55 🚨

Kyle hit us up with some awesome pictures you don’t usually see of a G Wagon, and honestly, we couldn’t ignore them.

His story starts in the late ’90s, staring at a scale model G in a hobby store and deciding right then that he wanted the real thing someday. Fast forward a few decades, and he found a solid deal on basically the exact truck he had always wanted: a 2009 AMG G55 with the supercharged M113K V8.

Kyle is an Air Force JTAC, and after working around other countries’ units, he knew firsthand that these things weren’t just luxury boxes on wheels. They were absolute beasts off-road. So when he got his hands on this one, he set it up to prove that point.

The truck has 135k miles, a 2018 front-end and wheel update, 60mm Eurowise springs, Bilstein reservoir struts, 33-inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers, JWO high-clearance rock sliders, and an MBRP high-clearance exhaust.

Inside, it’s been brought up to date with a Pioneer Apple CarPlay floating head unit, Alpine speakers, a sub mount, and blacked-out wood grain.

It’s exactly the kind of G we love seeing: used, upgraded, personal, and built by someone who actually understands what these trucks are capable of.

Thanks for sending it in, Kyle.
