We Finished EVERYTHING On My ML55 AMG & Created The ULTIMATE Off-Road Euro SUV That’s Not A G-Wagon!

In this video, we finish the build on my 2000 ML55 AMG. We turned this $3850 very used SUV into an off-road/overland rig anyone would be proud of and had a blast doing it.

If you guys need anything fixed or modified on your car or truck give Fluid Motor Union in Naperville Illinois a try. I've been working with them for 3 years now and they are by far the most competent and fair shop around.

What kind of SUV do you drive? Any mods?

Snorkels are generally not for water fording, they are for getting cooler dust free air in desert locations where the vehicles ahead may be leaving dust clouds. They also help with not getting an intake full of water during even shallow water fording as long as the AirBox doesn't have other openings as many factory ones do.

No to the snorkel, but hopefully after your trip you can get those Bilsteins in and that roof mounted tire! Good luck and have fun!

"That is definitely not nothing" - arguably the slogan of this build

My wife could do with a set of Rock Rings on her Nissan Juke, and outside airbags. :-)

Who else has been waiting for this ?! Building an off-road rig with my 4WD Pilot and taking all the advice

[gysbertvanderwesthuizen]

In South Africa, snorkles are mostly used for dirt road driving, to ensure that you suck in clean air, specially when driving behind another vehicle, they re not strictly for river crossing.

Now a Jurassic Park build of the ML55 would be so cool!

[emland]

Are you not worried the camber mod is gonna cause more stress in that area with the heavy tires plus you shaved off metal didn’t it make that area a bit weaker?

[Thedaleb]

I’m just amazed at how much work can be done in just 25 minutes

[Dutch-vjeg]

Way cool!!! Been checking for this video like four times a day :)
ALEX: You need some wheel spacers man! Wheels are too far under the body work!

[evoemperor]

I thought this build is like a budget crap car build but damn that welds on the bumper alone is top dollar

[lukakrstic]

13 yr old me watching this people having fun and working on cars knowing when when i grow up europe gas cars will already be dead cuz of all the restrictions 🙄🙄🙄

[dominodoce]

I'm so excited about this I've been looking to build one since I've seen your videos, I just love the idea of the classy sitting next to the rowdy/offroad merc...

[brandonbman]

Definitely need some spacers on those front wheels. They’re so tucked they look like you’re gonna stance the thing. 😂

[garethedwards]

The welding is top quality by an expert but with regards to the Range Rover it is one of the most capable off road vehicles ever made and also I would have fitted a winch to the front of it

[DeusVolo]

Let’s try some standard stuff, this thing was built in Alabama you know. PRICELESS!!!

[ningmarket]

Coolest front bumper on a ML! Only add a rock ring to the spare tire and shes perfect!

[Rev.Match.Reviews]

That weird tube with the wires you put around the bolt and it super heats it is called a Bolt Buster. Some college kids and myself built their website a couple years back. Always neat to see one!

Most people run snorkels so their intake doesn't eat too much dust.
