hey Ronny, don't know if you'll see this but there's a European company that made a solution to fit a larger tyre on the rear door. it's basically a steel bracket that shifts the tyre carrier position a few inches to the side to allow a 35 to fit on the rear door without obstructing the smaller rear door from opening.

[@chir0pter]

It does look way more balanced with the moderately larger tires and the grill hoops

[@simon8089]

Delighted to see someone who actually knows their sh1t putting this thing through its paces. Also excited by his reaction to everything done. It's an absolutely cracking machine but I will always feel the engine is the achilles heel. Maybe some additional protection here @ Ronny

[@simon8089]

Also, land rover f'd up letting this thing go through uncontested

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

The engine will be fine, its the bolt on parts that will let them down later in life, but prob still be better then LR products there too

[@Wickham09]

Why do you think the engine is an Achilles heel? Genuinely curious

[@simon8089]

@@Wickham09 I do a lot of mileage on Irish/EU roads so very good quality and I could honestly put my hand on my heart and say that at least 20-30% of cars I see getting towed are BMW diesels. I'm not sure why, but I've heard it's the common rail and high pressure system as a whole. I could be wrong though? Ozzie roads are a different animal in terms of wear and tear.

[@Wickham09]

@@simon8089 fair, my thought was I see a lot of people swapping BMW diesels (M57) in to 4x4s online in Europe. Is the B57 belt, chain or gear driven? What would be the issue with the fuel pump? Might be electric in-tank pumps?

[@bogged2theeyeballs695]

For anyone interested : Universal window mounting frame $599(per side), Pantry $1450, Eibach springs $1142 (plus fitting cost), 20L lockable jerry can holder $639, 30L fuel tank $399, Fuel pump $159.

[@Pyjamarama11]

ouch !

[@lordnass381]

not bad

[@eamon1648]

Not terrible, apart from the springs.

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

I have always believed that a 34" tire is about perfect. I would do either 285/75R-17 or 255/85R-17 . Looks amazing though.

[@lambbosbread123]

@@eamon1648 u think 1142 is expensive for something actually important but a $1450 folded box is good lol ?

[@nicfletcher7653]

A piece of flat bar bent so it runs flat under the light bars on your rack and up on the sides to mount to the light bar bracket bolts would cut the light off your skylights and let you leave them uncovered. I work in film lighting in nz and we call it an under-chop.

[@darrenhale6320]

Ronnie this build has brought me back to your channel , I prefer your old trip stuff but this build is something else

[@Wickham09]

Perfect looking wheel tyre suspension combo. Definitely a vehicle 'built on purpose' for the enthusiast.

[@TruckMelanoma]

I have been dying to see someone lift one of these and fit bigger tires! Looks great!

[@timmy_monaz]

Mate....I'm starting to seriously consider jumping into one of these (been a Toyota man for 30 yrs now). Great videos. Keep em coming.

[@OutbackOutlaw]

Yeah…that’s what I like to see. Awesome. It’s got an Aussie feel now and doesn’t look like a weird looking cousin!

[@sevenity2677]

Love the prewire routed setup because it is what it was built for. Military application and have things on standby and easy to fit. The fact that this vehicle has snap to fit areas means the engineering was built by some mechanics rather than just engineers. I have been a fan of this British offroad vehicle. Jimmy deville which I think you should interview has a landy defender.

[@aussiebattler7789]

I picked up the switching wire for the relay from the back of the RH headlight ,it is the easiest point to get to . To get to the rear of the driving lights requires the removal of the bull bar and most of the front of the vehicle. The power for the relay came from the aux wire under the bonnet behind the air cleaner but I was wiring a light bar to the bull bar

[@belchbat9955]

You can tell this vehicle was built for car people.Everything is cut and dry built to be built. I really appreciate this vehicle.

[@dylanbisson9675]

Just sat down to eat some lunch and this is the exact video I’ve been waiting to watch all week!!

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

Great Video. Just a few sensible mods. Like wheels, tyres, a small lift, and a roof rack. Well done.

[@meadmaker4525]

It definitely looks good with the larger tires and mods. Nicely done with those. I'm amazed the lift was so simple. Still waiting for someone to rip out that ridiculous, cheap, plastic, BMW-parts-bin shifter and gearbox and put a manual in it, as it should have been from the beginning. Still boggles my mind that Ineos made the exact same mistakes Land Rover did with the Defender in that regard, especially considering this was supposed to be the "proper" enthusiast version of what the Defender should have been. A manual swap would make the Grenadier damned near perfect. As it is, it's just a minivan with a Defender-esque body and I wouldn't own it, especially when you consider the insane price of this vehicle.

[@leftcoastoverland8750]

All the right mods! Mine is coming thru Expedition HQ next week, getting the Xspec gear as well. Good work mate! 👏

[@louvendran7273]

Amazing just listening to that straight 6 purr & rip through the gearbox. ❤

[@denisgately4701]

Just thought I'd let you know, we hav just finished taking one north to south own the Oombulgurri Track. Never missed a beat; ran like a Swiss watch; and conquered all. I was in my LC200 (which also did very well), but was very impressed with the Ineos' performance. Shod with Maxxis Razor AT811 275/70/17.

[@user-qr1ec7js2w]

Lovin these vids. Ive wanted a grenadier since day dot, you're fuelling my fire 💥👋👍

[@dazaspc]

i'LL Bet you that those powered outlets on the roof can be controlled by the BCM and not the normal standard auxilary wiring standard. If that is the case a very simple software adjustment could switch them off and on with the high beams. The Panniers (For want of a better term robbed from the motorcycle world) look like an excellent option for external storage. Plenty of extra drag though on a highway trip.

[@tomdixon7955]

Looks great! I've been waiting for this to drop as I am looking at tyres on mine. That seals it as I was thinking 315/70, but having seen the door clearance, there's no way they'd fit. 305/70 it is... Its so annoying that we cant get the metal bumper and the bars here they really look the part, and with the amount of deer on the roads here i'd be a lot happier with them on.

[@mrjohnsonclarke]

Yep, love it. Partially a biased opinion as I am a Defender owner, however, I can't buy a new traditional-type Defender any more. This really is what Land Rover should have done.

[@tomalophicon]

Their old garbage defender wasn't selling well at all. Their new one is selling like hot cakes.

[@TantersD3]

All looking very good, Ronny. Loving those wing set ups. Really interested to see how you get on with the fuel cap. for your trip

[@josedarrylalano8356]

I am absolutely wishing that you get to love the Grenadier Ronny… throw in a monkey wrench into the mix with the other three (3) Land Cruisers 😂 I’m planning for a Troppy but I want to finish your review of the Grenadier first… particularly how effective and efficient it is for camping and overlanding. Lots of info in this channel 🎉

[@Grenadier2024]

Great video. It’s good you have got your hands on one so we get a proper review and not BS. Will be good as well to see how it goes on a long trip. I’ve done 5k miles in mine and even on some fairly long journeys the hump hasn’t caused a problem. I also have the built in winch . Where did you get the number plate cover from as mine came fitted with a plastic cover with two screws. Not great. Looks a lot better with the bars on.

[@baronvonteuchter1412]

Have you seen the arb compressor that fits in the spare wheel lockbox and takes power from the nato plug? Very neat solution.

[@jeepercreepers54]

Agreed. IMO The bar improved looks and protection by 100%. Now if you could just fit some better looking tail lights.

[@tariqkhalil1]

Hey Ronny, I am one of your followers from the Sultanate of Oman.. This is the first time I see you without your Land Cruiser..!! I am obsessed with the Defender, the appearance of the Grenadier has made it my number one target now. However, the specialists advised me not to buy the first model, or even the fourth model, for several reasons, including that these models are still in the process of experimentation and development, and the prices of spare parts are exaggerated, for example: a replacement car key costs $1,200 dollars..!! Since I have confidence in your experience, I hope that you provide specific information in a clear and frank manner in your upcoming episodes, for example: fuel consumption, diesel/petrol engine performance efficiency, internal/external design defects, air conditioner efficiency. Please provide a complete evaluation of the car from all technical and mechanical aspects.

[@joshualeeman2855]

It would be great if you could share how you're going with payload. I think the Trialmaster spec only leaves about 650kg to play with.

[@gibbethoskins8621]

Pretty impressive, wish all 4x4's were built with mods like this in mind

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@darrenbooker8144]

Awesome build mate! Youd want to be super alert in tight scrub country, would hate to rip those rear panel jerry holder off

[@paulargent1003]

👏👏Good on you for being so honest , excellent video , can't wait to see you in the Cape 👍

[@utubedanforster]

Hey Ronny, we met briefly at Sean’s. I know how to sort the roof light highbeam, it’s easy. Also have rear cargo area roof shelf if you need one.

[@ront2857]

From one Ronnie in Seattle to another, great vid man!! I appreciate what you put into your work. I think I saw Owl Outdoor in the states makes a cool replacement bracket for a bigger tire. 2 Grenadiers on order here and looking forward to more videos of your experience. Cheers!

[@thomasmullinsiii7759]

Dude, that is insane. I liked the idea of the Ineos when I first ehard about it, and now I'm starting to love it... and I don't even own one. Makes me want one so bad!

[@tomdixon7955]

Another question, any rubbing when you get it flexed?

[@Stuka87]

The steering issue is because the caster angle is off now after the lift. This is why you typically add adjustable control arms with a lift so you can get the axles caster angle back to -5 degrees or so. It will drive a lot better.

[@tgdorfling4466]

Can't wait for the 1st trip! Starting to look good, love the side panels

[@syncrosimon]

Looks brilliant. Great work Ronny and Ineos.

[@zoezoe610]

The wheels make it, certainly a nice truck. You might be converted.

[@NathanNostaw]

Such a great vehicle. They sure did their research and development to suit the real off-road buyer. The more you show the features of this machine and the mod potentials the better it gets. So many options and huge potential for serious travelling. Ive never liked the funky grill/nose, but that bar makes it perfect. (Ronny, your use of 'positive offset' when comparing the rims just adds more confusion to people that don't fully understand that Pos is towards the hub and Neg is away from hub.)

[@eamon1648]

He used the terms correctly.

[@NathanNostaw]

@@eamon1648 On reflection, you and Ronny are correct. thanks for the correction.

[@roberthuntley4988]

I had UHF radio mounted on drivers side front roof mount and ariel cable wend down same channel as the front right outside plug wiring. I can send you some photos if useful. Let me know. Rob

[@MrTreefrog101]

Where you cruising North on the Kwinana freeway around 4pm Saturday. I was like what is that ? G wagon? Landover? ....

[@terrydactyl7708]

Everything is awesome, but the hump under the left foot unfortunately cancels it all out

[@michaelhermans4753]

An option would be to put a similar sized footrest in your current 4x4 and see if you can get used to it especially on a long trip, as this would be my biggest gripe about the vehicle

[@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing]

cut it out, if it means you have one of the more interesting cars in 30 years

[@SuperRoverboy]

This is exactly what they were aiming for. For everything to be plug and play, ready to go, to be fun.

[@moobaz8675]

I've got a new Defender. The only thing that concerns me wiring things up. However, I do like the Grenadier and the options for tricking it up.

[@idahoman325]

About time.... the nano second it was announced I immediately assumed a bunch of guys would have built these things up , ideally improving the steering & slapping some better tires/ wheels.

[@mini_steve]

I checked the frontrunner specs a few weeks ago and recall the weight of the 3/4 rack to be close to 45kg. I may be mistaken, I was a beer or 5 in when I looked.

[@Lewyphotography]

Love it mate. Interestin our troopy with 35" Toyo M/T we have that sound, you explain. Never knew what is was, like a droning sound. Is that what the mud terrains produce? What causes that. Great vid mate & well done.

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

Yeah muddies are noisy, nothing like old ones but, caused by large deep tread blocks , smaller and each tread block being different size will reduce noise, the noise is mostly caused by harmonics, there is a few good vids on it and how they have made tyres quieter I think newmind did one recently

[@Dorm_]

It`s been 4 months since the last tour Ronny, we need more my man!

[@anthonybennett3434]

Great truck for the Cotswolds😉

[@MrKieran117]

Great video, the car looks awesome. It bugs me you say it fits nearly 35" tyres when a 305/70/17 is only a 33.81" tyre (if it runs true to size). I'm sure it can take a 35 with no lift too, but I think for future check online regarding metric to imperial tyre size conversions :) A question I had about the car is after looking at the underside of one at a 4wd show, it seems that many of the steering components hang really low, especially the steering damper in the front end. I know it's got bashplayes but unfer flex or after a lift these wouldn't be doing too much. Have you found anything like this becoming an issue when crossing over large obstacles or rocks? Looking forward to the next video, been really enjoying this series

[@idahoman325]

I'd love to see 35BFG on method wheels , deflate for the back tire rack.

[@Bugoutvehiclesuk]

That’s looking amazing

[@motivationmonster]

[@michaelyapp6099]

[@Hipporider]

I've heard there's a problem for the drivers left leg (right hand drive) ability to rest your foot due to the transmission hump??

[@cleemensassmannshausen8354]

Did a Grenadier testdrive last weekend on a tour with hard off road tracks, was impressed about the capability of the vehicle. Ronny, how do you handle the limited weight capacity, since the empty vehicle alone is already 3 tons. Do you think you‘ll manage it without a GVM upgrade?

[@kwanelemswelanto]

Rode one in Zimbabwe. What a vehicle ❤

[@vincebroady5555]

Looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mikemadden5462]

Ronny - I have a question on the wheels n tires - I just got my grenadier and wanted to put larger tires getting the eibach installed today but on your tire size 305/70R17 how did they fit on the stock steel wheel? The steel rim is narrow at 7”5 inches and those tires spec a width from 8”-9”-10”…love to get some feedback.

[@willstaier3385]

Be interesting to see if when the Gren is flexed up, whether the rear door would open with the 34s

[@darrennorth929]

Can the side mirrors see past the jerry cans?

[@JL.765]

Ronny, lots of things to consider. I think the car is awesome-absolutely. But it’s not a South African or Australian oriented vehicle. We also need to look at The cooling pipes of radiator. This is a problem with many off road vehicles. The BMW engine is very reliable but can it be applied to this application

[@JordanPattersonM]

Good stuff, that looks awesome!

[@oggyoggy1299]

I thought lifting the vehicle by more than 50mm required (engineer’s) approval? 40mm lifted suspension plus the larger tyres would put you over that. Gotta be careful that your insurance company doesn’t just walk away if you’re ever involved in an accident. You could be wearing all the costs (repair and medical) of you/your car and any others.

[@jayd3931]

it's 50mm for lift plus 25mm for tyres in QLD I believe, and he is in WA which is more lax.

[@thepaddockengineer]

Light Bar Wiring: Would there be a fusebox with a 'driving light' or 'high beam' fuse that only gets power with your high beams on? Also, would there be a dedicated fuse for that switch? If so, what about putting a piggyback fuse holder on the high beam, and plug the tail into the switch's fuse holder? (standard spade terminal if its a normal blade fuse)

[@rogerclift2705]

Question on the winch. Very cool it comes with one, but, can you replace the 15m cable with, say, 30m to help improve its functionality?

[@rogertrett406]

How did you deal with the issue that bigger tyres will make the speedometer under read considerably ?

[@wernerziemerink]

So happy it's not another Toyota. Looks awesome. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@michaelhains2291]

Black Sheep Innovations Australia is now live with lots more Grenadier goodies, including an adapter to mount a 35 inch tyre on the rear door.

[@tomlobos2871]

i always wonder why people think european cars are hard to work on just by the fact they are european. cars got more complex generally speaking. each vehicles has its own guts, so hard to compare a sports orientated audi to lets say a renault grocery getter. 4x4's are a different breed of engineering alltogether. same on vehicles like vans.

[@DCPEvo]

Really like the look of the vehicle now. The stock wheels definitely didn’t suit the vehicle. Nice job.

[@jpdi]

Wish we got the diesel in the US 😢. Can’t wait to get this car. Especially with the Toyota new gen disappointments.

[@dbadventures9869]

Hey Ronny, would be worth looking at the legalities of mounting anything on the side of the vehicle. In QLD, you are not allowed to have anything protruding beyond the widest point of the vehicle which is usually the wheel arches. The only exceptions are mirrors capable of folding back on impact and wheel arch flares that meet ADR requirements. People here have been fined for roof racks and awnings that stick out too far. All to do with pedestrian safety I believe.

[@dbadventures9869]

Snorkels with no sharp edges are also allowed.

[@mikefoster7085]

Maximum past the most outermost part of the body as per ADRs is 180mm.

[@DonDomel]

0:28 what I heard few months ago - any changes in the car like new tires cancel guarantee - is it true? or not applied in AUS?

[@Br1anuk]

Ronnie do you have jiggle siphon tubes in Australia? Metre long pice of clear pipe with a marble sized ball at one. Fantastic simple piece of kit to siphon fuel.

[@ado1541]

Yeah we do

[@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing]

most folks use garden hose

[@PappaJH]

Is the steering and the foot rest to much of a turn-off? Is it a deal breaker? Coming from a chopped 105 LC. Great review by the way. I like the real Aussie testing.

[@mikefoster7085]

I've come from an LC to a Grenadier, while it takes a day or so to get used to, like the steering, I like 99% of owners have no problem, but in reality it's a personal thing.

There’s a lot to love about Ineos, but storing fuel like that isn’t ideal. It’s not quite on the roof, but it is high up. On a tight track, you’ll have trees whacking into a fuel tank.

[@jayd3931]

I don't think he can add the larger tank as it's not his vehicle, so this was a second best option.

[@Rob_FJ]

@@jayd3931 probably, not knocking the idea, just pointing out the range of this car for me is the biggest drawback. That and the footwell. I’m interested to see how he goes after 2000 km 😂

[@ensatlantic]

the steering corrections are likely from the increased width of the tyres. I think 34s are great but they are too wide. This will not bring benefits and I would go for a slimmer one
