Here are a few photos I was sent of the first production rack and winch mount from LFD Off Road... This shows their new winch bumper (which is fully compatible with the OEM 'Roo bar as well) and their full length rack (with light bar cutout in the fairing). The Grenadier is one of a pair of "twins" being built for a customer from TX, the other one will have their 3/4 length rack (and both have 'Roo bars waiting to be installed), hopefully I'll get some photos of that set up next week along with their new sliders.

I'm sure the question will come up, but I have no idea on pricing or lead times

That rack is looking pretty good. Is it compatible safari windows?
Based on their other racks for the Toyota/Lexus world the cross bars have almost limitless positions, so based on where you put them yes. The answer I got is that if there is a cross bar right over the back edge of the safaris, it will *just* clear when open. To be able to remove them would require positioning the bars appropriately

The front winch bumper looks so much better than the European one.

I prodded for pricing, it isn't yet finalized, but their similar offerings in the Toyota/Lexus realm are around $1k

I did get a couple photos of their 3/4 rack sent over, again with the light bar cutout... The side MOLLE panel is not theirs, not sure which offering that is

Pricing was just put up on their site, $1099 for the winch cradle

Looks pretty good. I am in CA and we have to have front licence plates. I like the hinged plate I currently have. Do you know if they will have a similar system to mount a licence plate? The pics on the website didn't make that clear and I couldn't find a way to email them about it on their website.

I'm considering the letech winch bumper but it's quite a bit more money than this one which makes me look at it...

We need a front tag here in MD as well... On other builds I've used a folding fairlead mount which are available from a number of companies and mount between the fairlead and bumper.

Not sure if they have a different solution in the works

Take your plate and sandwich between the bottom edge of the Hawse fairlead and bumper. Tighten the 2 mounting bolts. Viola! Free, no moving parts to break. Solid as a rock.

Had my plates on a wrangler like that for years with no issue.

No need to run a front plate IMO. It's a $196 fix it ticket where all you have to do is temporarily jimmy-rig a plate on and then get it signed off by a LEO within 21 days (and then the fine goes away). Thereafter you can remove the plate again. It's very rarely something that is enforced. I've not been pulled over for it since the 90's. They have bigger fish to fry.

I like this bumper option.

Hello, Great looking vehicle. Are those the stock 18 steel wheels and tires? Thanks Dave

I ordered it today. I look forward to field measurements to see what I can stuff in there. :)

As an aside, last week the dealer told me Ineos will soon be offering the factory winch as a post-purchase option.
There's been talk about that for a while; and I overheard the Service/Parts managers at RDS chatting about it last week.

I would imagine that the "after-sales" pricing will probably be in the neighborhood of $5000+, especially after install labor; and will probably only be sold to those who have the high amp switch panel (as it is a requirement to order the winch on a new build)

That will be appealing to those who want dealer/official winch support. Besides an electrical upgrade, we seem (?) to know that the factory puts in different springs for winch-equipped vehicles and also (?) a different front cross member, according to that builders doc shared elsewhere on the forum.
