Did you have lifted spring or not

So jealous of all the fun you guys are having thanks for sharing it with us who can’t be there

Hi. Great job. What make is the cavity spray aerosol ? Thanks

These look like nice vehicles, the clip from the offroad course is not what we in Canada would consider actual off-roading - looked like a drive on a typical country road or golf course. No dealer network to speak of in Canada (2) and the price is approximately 30-40K over a Jeep Rubicon (35" tires available from factory on Rubicon) I love the look and the overall package but not enough to warrant spending the asking price.

Wow. What an adventure Keep it blazing.

Did you change the chassis??

Good old truck Boris, just on rebuilding my 90 300tdi and hope it comes out half as good 👌

great video. will these be good for a 2015 triumph scrambler ? thank you

I would highly recommend a guided tour of the plains, we recently did a full day on the Salisbury Plain 4x4 Wiltshire Byways tour, Paul was very knowledgeable on the area, his speaks with the MOD every day to see what lanes can and can’t be used

Hows it holding upo four years later? Im thinking aboiut getting my Freelander done.

Love Exmoor. My mother lives in Porlock so I am always down there.

Sorry for stupid question, but there is not much information. Why dont you have anymore 255/85/16? 🤔 I thought I'd copy you and see you left them.🙉

I too sold my older T100 2008 for a new Street Scrambler 900 which I do like a lot but oh man I do miss the older 865 Bonny

I see you have a Royal Marines commando badge in boris, are you an ex commando?

Having driven Salisbury plain for over 30 years, no matter what the military are doing up there, you can keep driving the byways. If the military don’t want you there, they will close a barrier over the byways. Stop and talk to the squaddies they love it, it breaks up the monotony of waiting until it’s dark, as that’s when any action starts !!

Look at you rockin’ a Leica, fancy pants 😁

That snatch wasn’t a snatch, just a Wolf.

Nice one chaps. We are in the process of restoring a series 3 ex-mod on our channel. Should be done early next year, happy to chaperone you on the plains, we should blend in 😅

Cracking video mate! I had such a great time, thank you. We definitely need to do that again in warmer weather and with less tanks driving about.

Nice one I like dales channel

🎉🎉👍👍

What are each of the roof racks on these three?

I’ve watched a few of your videos recently and a few weeks ago went to elan valley and stopped at the bottom of the bigger dam and watched your convoy come through, it was a bit of a bleak day but great to watch it in person and now on KZbin!

It’s far too heavy, if you want a proper expedition vehicle payload is everything. Fine in Europe where you can get away with not carrying absolutely everything and rely on buying when you need it, but for proper expeditions around Africa the payload is just too low. Plus good luck if it goes wrong in Africa, certainly rural Africa.

I just fitted a LOF master cylinder but although the clutch pedal is lighter I really do not like the loss of feel on clutch biting point despite adjustments. If the clutch biting point is set so it self bleeds (as it should with pedal released) the biting point is near the floor, if adjusted so the biting point is part way (with nuts as shown in video) it does not self bleed i.e. drain through slave. Have decided I am going to remove it and fit a standard TRW Master Cylinder with standard 1 1/4” barrel instead to get normal pedal travel and clutch feel back. Note: I do have an LOF clutch fitted and the spring too.

How did you tackle getting the barrel off? Everything I’ve seen says it’s a royal PITA with the shear bolts but you don’t seem to have mentioned it.

Which country is this

Awesome video! Has anyone tried installing one of these over dynamite extreme that’s been installed in the footwells? I’m wondering if it will still fit nicely

Had a watch of a few videos and think i will subscribe. Nice one.

It cannot replace it, as it is not from the lineage, it is not a Land Rover. The new Defender replaced the old Defender. This has nothing to do with Defender at all - it is as much Defender as a Land Cruiser

Look forward to getting the transmission of the Grenadier fixed in some workshop in Mogadishu! Might be better than the old Defender, as it should be, but far to complicated.

Flip flops 🩴 in the countryside 🤔

2 week spots to keep an eye out for are the grey front bash plate that has a hole in the middle to funnel air to a cooler will channel ice and other debris into the cooler damaging it happened to my uncles quartermaster and the steering damper is the first thing that is going to make contact if you take it on any hardish tracks not grate as they are a bit squishy . other than that they are a very nice truck.

Sorry, still don't like it. Too expensive, too heavy and the front is ugly. And thanks a lot, Ineos. Due to the withdrawal of a big order, Recaro had to shut down ! So, I have no seats for my Troopy !

There is a small lift what changes the geometry a bit and apparently that solves the steering return to center issue.

its a beautiful piece of machinery

Interesting comparison...Defender to Grenadier to Modern Defender to G-Wagon?

Hopefully a work around will happen with the steering. I did see someone changing the caster which apparently helps

I would say if anything is going to replace the original Defender it would have to be a Grenadier by default just because solid axles the look the size Etc now from all the other reviews I've seen have you never driven one I can tell that especially if you have one with lockers it absolutely is better I mean it's wider it's a little more roomy it doesn't want to flip over as easy has a much better engine etc etc. I feel like the steering could be made better with double coil spring dampeners😂 the problem with the new Defender is that it's really no surprise it turned out that way. Look at the way Land Rover was already going and the fact that the engineers who made old solid axle ones were long gone so of course the current ones think hey this is the best we have going let's continue this funky independent suspension are stuff😂 they did a really bad job at not actually knowing what the people want and just thinking let's evolve this in a modern Rover equivalency standpoint . They knew exactly what they were doing with the new Defender and it was all people who never had the old Defender and never cared about off-roading. Or at least if they did they were D3 D4 generation engineer off-roaders😂 there's no way any serious off-roader was on the Land Rover staff when they decided to make it that way

I think you summed things up very fairly. At the end of the day each to their own. 🚙👍

How did you get on with the footrest on drivers side? I found it quite noticeable and worry how it would be after 5 hours driving.

Looks like Graythwaits have their own ineos now. I have my hands on the trailmaster (got all the lockers) for a weekend in January if you fancy a play in the Cotswolds or Marlborough downs? Permission for off road mischief approved. 👍

If I had one wish for the Grenadier… make a 6 speed manual option.

What passably you didn't mention was the engineering the stainless brake lines the urethane bushes the thickness of the chassis double door seals etc etc .Also you need more than 3 days to get used to the steering power delivery dynamics it has 5 link suspension after 3/4 of a million miles in Defender Im lucky enough to have a Grenadier.

Wish I could get hold of a defender!

After a 89 reg 90, a 85 reg 110, a 92 reg 110 and a 2007 reg 130, and currently rebuilding a 1990, 90. My IG beats them all hands down, apart from the steering lock. Owned my 2 seat van 17 months and I use it for work as a fencing and forestry contractor, it's the dogs. Only mods are some drawers in the back and swapped the bfgs out for cooper stt pros, floods and a beacon on the roof. It's got to last, just hope it does, no issues and I'm just coming up to 12,000m. It tows my 12ft ifor tipper well, returns a genuine 21mpg on my short local runs, it's a diesel. Got 27mpg on a run. Only thing is you need to really learn this truck, especially the right sequence for the lockers, just wish you could get the rear locker to work in high range. .... the hands free is crap, the heater is pants, so get the heated seats, and the wireless reception is poor. But its mustard, goes where a rover won't and is quiet, it's got plenty of grunt and is comfortable, engine and trans are top draw.

Another great video. The steering in the Ineos is old fashioned steering box rather then rack and pinion system.

I want to see it off road.

Having owned one nearly 2 yrs it's Built to work. Built for purpose. Also it's brother Mercedes G is made very close at Graz. Grenadier really works. The USA market is now the biggest UK is niche. As an adventure vehicle just at how's its looking aboard.
