Hi Andrew, yes there is a difference and as you see the guys at Back Sheep have been brilliant in recognising this. It seems the mounting infrastructure is different in the 2 seater models.

Yes I saw that. Excellent

Hi Tomdoc
I apologize for not being able to respond immediately. On your report, we checked the matter and organized a two-seater. We have optimized the points mentioned, at the same time. In the case of the two-seater, we also found that the height of the bracket is not optimal and created an alternative solution. In your case, I would ask you to contact our customer support directly, so that we can send you a replacement product of the latest generation for the two-seater free of charge. (support@blacksheep-innovations.com)

Thats how a customer oriented company should act. Congratulations

Improvise, adapt, overcome......oh, and communicate!

now who could benefit from that approach I wonder...?

I see the additional height of the BS bracket causing particular issues for the 2 seater, but where are you seeing differences in the Ineos original bracket (if that's what you mean by "mounting infrastructure")?

I have not seen the bracket in any other vehicle - so I guess I cannot comment. My problem was that the BS mount lifts up the unit too high - and I was unable to utilise the folded over bit of the bracket. I don't see the need for the folded over bits - but perhaps I am not understanding properly. Anyway - all sorted now and I am happy with the result. I am guessing that there is more 'headroom' under the seats in the other battery box set up

You might be right, I just haven't seen any evidence of it yet ~ has anyone?

Yes, there has to be a reason why BS have done this. If I had to guess, would it give better access to hand brake cable adjustments?

Here are a few more explanations about the product:
The higher construction of the 4-seater version is due to the fact that in the forward position where the D250 lies, the consoles of the seats converge and assembly is made more difficult because the space is very tight.
So we decided to lift both devices together to create more space. A positive side effect is that more space is created around the handbrake cable.
With the 2-seater, we don't have the problem of the seat consoles, but, as we recently discovered, we are limited by the height.
For this reason we will soon be able to include the alternative product for the 2-seater in our shop.

As you could see from the current case, it is very helpful if we receive feedback directly from the customer, because this is the only way we can continuously improve our products. Thanks for that!

You know you're getting too invested in this vehicle when this turning up on your doorstep gets you a bit excited.

Thank you @Black Sheep.

Is that the lifted version with wings?

Clark Kent · Aug 30, 2023

Yes it is. 17mm of lift.

AUSTRALIA - KAON INEOS ACCESSORIES UPDATE

I received this email from KAON a few minutes ago:

If anything else comes from KAON it will be next year.

Seems their schedule has moved up...quite like the parcel shelf:

No. Apparently that is from an old Landcruiser 80 Series and he had to make his own brackets for it. Good to know you can order that to retrofit though.

I had originally given dimensions to kaon to see if they had an existing shelf/rack that could be adapted. They wouldn't assist and said it would have to be a new development. I understand their business, however a shame as many people were onboard for one and was hoping to relay back. Atleast I now know an 80 series will fit.

That’s just my recollection of a further comment on the FB post mate - I’d probably do a bit more research before pushing the buy button.

“the shelf is for a Toyota LC80 (correct width and depth) the brackets I made myself since nothings available as yet”

Got to love it when owners do the product development for companies.

I’ve contacted GMF4x4 in Bathurst. They said they were “very interested”, but when I offered to drop my Grenadier in for measuring up they said “great, book it in for late September.”

I’ve also contacted Vogue Industries, and had no reply.

TLR Products have passed my enquiry to their development team.

Did your car ever make it to GMF4X4 in Bathurst?

No, but Out of Town 4WD (near Newcastle) are currently looking at making a bracket for the front bumper.
