Yes the whine drives me crazy. Was hoping it would go away over time but no such luck.

@@VegaVenturing how many miles so far on the vehicle?

@@Yoyomanmanholla 8,700 miles.

@@VegaVenturing dayum… I am at 500 :(

Yes we definitely need to get out and have a relaxing and chill overnighter!

@@VegaVenturingI second this!

The Rivian is definitely a more comfortable daily driver, that's for sure. The Grenadier is rough, bouncy, and has a ton of electronic gremlins, but we LOVE it.

@VegaVenturing when it comes time for the r2 to come out i don't think I will be off roading it. Which will mean I need a new platform so ig here I come

@@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749 Thanks, Jason! And thanks again for the recommendations. We still need to get our winter sleeping kit figured out because we were very cold at night. But it felt so good to get outside and give the Grenadier a good test on some rough forest roads.

Thanks! The Grenadier is a beast! It's so good off road. Thanks for watching!

Can't believe how long it's been since we've been able to go camping. As usual we weren't that prepared for the sub freezing temps at night. We miss you guys!!

@@VegaVenturingit looks COLD! How’d the buddy do in the Gazelle? Hoping we can all plan another adventure sometime soonish!

@@courtneychambers9214 The Buddy did great in the Gazelle. It was around 28 degrees at night and with the Buddy on "low" it got up to 52 degrees and warms up quick. However, as soon as the propane runs out the temps drop fast. The Gazelle felt like an apartment compared to the van. haha. It was awesome.

That's a lot of money on ice. If you were doing that on the regular a fridge would definitely be the way to go. Also, ice can just be a pain to deal with, having to dig through it constantly to grab what you want.

@@VegaVenturing I just pulled the trigger a a Vevor fridge. Thx for the vids!

@@tdiddle8950 Thank you! We want to go back and explore that area. So many beautiful areas out in that area of Washington. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I film with a Sony A7S III.

I ended up with two 12v DC fridges. The 1st one I got a while ago and seems to work like it should, it's 47qt with a pull handle plus hinge handles, and wheels. I needed one to fit in a smaller space so I went ahead and bought a 25qt dual zone with very similar dimensions as yours. It must have thicker insulation because it's 5qt less. It was $170.

Thank you, Jason! I appreciate it.

Thank you! And yes these kinds of videos take a lot more time to make then most people realize. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Means a lot coming from you. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I really appreciate this comment. And thank you for watching!

So far it's everything we were hoping for. Very solid and robust. Feels like a tank. It gets a TON of attention and just feels awesome to drive. It's a pretty rough ride on the street, but that's the compromise for such great manners off road. We love it.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! I don't think most people realize how much work goes into getting these different angles and putting it all together. Thanks for watching. 😁

Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch. 😍

I'm not sure. There are a few different sounds that are a mystery to me. You're probably right and it's most likely a pump..We also had strange whines and pump sounds with our 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 diesel that we just sold.

Thanks! It’s a new spot I found that’s fairly close to us.

Oh awesome! Are you local to the Portland area?

@@VegaVenturing Corvallis! Go Beavs! 🧡🖤🧡

Thanks! We're so glad we splurged on that option.

Well, in fairness, it is heavy because it already has skid plates, steel bumpers, and off road tires. If you add those things to an lc200, you’ll be in the same ballpark, but with a hit on payload.

Don’t say you don’t like. Just be honest, you can’t afford one.

It's bc this vehicle is the opposite of 'planned obsolescence'. Well done Ineos.

@@LosAngelesDrummer what? Tell me without telling me me you don’t off road. No wonder you bought an ineos 😂

Range is not great. 300 miles maybe but I don't know for sure since I haven't let the tank get too low. Last 100 miles was getting around 17-18 mpg which is better then I usually get.

@@VegaVenturing I was hearing that in some reviews but not from actual owners. Thank you for letting me know!

Thanks, Skye!!

Thanks! We are loving it! Hoping to get it out to an overnight soon. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! We're gonna try and make time to get out way more this year. Thanks for watching!

Agree 100%. Once you decide you're gonna spend money on a new vehicle, the Grenadier is a solid option if you want old school looks and off road capability. A renovated LR Defender with modern components will run you $160,000 - $280,000 for a top quality build. Makes the Grenadier look like a bargain in comparison. lol We love it so far.

The good restored ones are so beautiful, but yeah, financially, Grenadier. Also, you get pretty much the best BMW inline 6 ever made, so bonus 😄@@VegaVenturing

@OverlandAdventureTimes The engine in this thing is so good. Plenty of power and torque. Way peppier than our 4Runner. And I love the way it sounds.You can even hear the Turbo spool up. I think it was a fantastic decision by INEOS to use the BMW B58.

Thanks, Matthew! I used the measuring cup you gave us to make sure we had the exact amount of water for the Mountain House meal. :)

Yes it's the gun metal grey. It's the base model optioned up pretty heavily.

Very nice!!!

Thanks! What color did you get?

Thank you! Over here we have State forests, National Forests, and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. These are all public lands that we can explore for free, and are usually allowed to camp at. The general rule is you can stay in a single spot for up to 14 days, then after must move to another location. Oregon is a massive state, and lot of central and eastern Oregon is sparsely populated with huge stretches of vast land. It can take us 8 hours to travel to a single spot in our own state. We put lots of miles on our rigs, but the trip is always worth it. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! It's a little bit more photogenic then the van. haha We're hoping to get out a lot more this year!
