I'm having a hard time parting with this one, but I need something I can take into the woods and Moab - as beyond-capable as the G550 is, I just can't do that with it. I have talked myself out of selling it every time I get in and drive haha. One thing to correct slightly from the ad which I missed, I didn't have the windshield and bubbling around the rubber fixed just in preparation for sale, I had that done as soon as my guy Wade at Steve's Car Wash noticed it. He thinks it was from some scratching under the seal during a windshield replacement two years prior, but the people who did the correction didn't save photos for me to finish the claim. And the windshield was replaced right next door to them.

It has a 2\" spring spacer lift and some 34\" Nitro Ridge Grapplers. Really improves its ability to handle off road work. I would have gone with a 4\" lift and 36\" tires but it wouldn't have made it into my garage! Doesn't take a lot of work to get one of these deep into the woods...\r\n\r\nAs for the windscreen, the problem is water gets trapped behind the weatherstripping and just sits there. There doesn't have to be any damage to the paint for rust to eventually form. The best way to prevent it is to pump the cavity behind the stripping with aerosol grease or a thick oil (Lucas Red n' Tacky and B'Laster Surface Shield are great products). It doesn't take a lot of work and can keep rust from ever forming.", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1687843930, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 11804999, "authorName": "COSkier72 (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/coskier72/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@JD101 \nThanks for both of that! I have actually looked into your exact setup of spacer and tires (along with a highly-recommended Pirelli Scorpion) - the thing is, especially with it being black, I didn't like the idea of scratches and dents happening. I have a white 2004 LR Discovery II SE7 with only 115,000 miles which I am considering doing a major build for that purpose. I use this as a ski-season vehicle and rotate them back-and-forth between Front Range and Aspen most weeks. Even without particularly knobby tires, it is amazing in the worst Winter conditions! The only scares I have ever had came from others on the road... I have never had to use the lockers except to occasionally exercise them in the snow.
