I have always wanted to do this. This one looks pretty good. I've researched for years trying to find out if the factory ever made one but they didn't to my knowledge...

I have seen pickups before in pictures. I assumed that they were factory offerings.

You see them once in awhile, I know they made a version that looks just like a Jeep.

That G doesnt look good in my opinion, and it has a transplanted engine.

I'd pretty much be fine with ANY 80's diesel G-wagon.
 Or unimog....

I think my problem with the G is that the ones I see are riding on ridiculously large chrome rims and all blinged out and I just can't get that vision out of my head. If I saw one in flat Nato green with a snorkel, cargo basket and rolling on 32" mud/snows on black steelies I'd get excited.

I have always had a pickup as a second (or main) vehicle and feel something is missisng without one around. This, juxtaposed with the MB obsession, means that if I wish to only have MB's in the shed, I must find a MB "pickup"! Someday. And my G pickup will be all business- hauling and in the woods and fields, and, of course, have a OM617 under the hood...

AFAIK There are no factory G-Wagen pickups.
Swampyankee, my G500 is completely stock. No blingy wheels, just the way it came from the factory. Now, this summer, it may be getting a lift, as we found a company that manufactures a 1-2" body lift, as well as a 2-3" suspension lift....

I sure wish they had an overhead shot of the engine... that empty air cleaner bracket looks to have some good mounts still sitting on it... not sure why they left it on the motor... heat shield?
