Just saw this reshared on LinkedIn by Norweld, looks like INEOS have partnered with JMACX for GVM upgrades & aftermarket suspension kits for the Grenadier & Quartermaster!

JMACX link added (back to this thread for the moment).

It seems a lot more companies are jumping onboard in Australia, including MITS Alloy who earlier said no (as did KAON).

Interesting comment around the steering damper, in light of the dramas some have had with third party dampers.

Thanks.

The JMACX front "damperer" look interesting and pricey.

That is the same vehicle in the earlier Norweld video (about the Norweld tray and canopy).

Pretty sure Redarc is one of the other companies working on this INEOS show car (you can see Redarc stuff in the Norweld video). The Norweld video did not discuss the power fitout, so it must come in a later video with Redarc and probably Norweld again. We will get to see the Redarc TVMS installed.

Then may be one from Brown Davis (BD) re the 136 litre auxiliary fuel tank. Do not get excited the 136 litre is for the QM, not the IG. I am guessing it is BD for the aux fuel.

I wonder which other companies have been ask to contribute to the build? Maybe that fancy new ARB Altitude RTT and a twin air compressor. Maybe Matraxes in the mix.

JMACX are using their own springs and that lift is high, it must be close to the max lift allowed. QM was probably not loaded up, sitting that high.

The video makes a point of NOT showing the control arms when you see the JMACX springs and shocks. Are they changed as well?

Looks like Ineos are doing the Australian press launch for the quartermaster right now and this vehicle is there. Looks mean. Stedi lights, brown Davis tank too from what I can see in the pics

Have I missed something or has the 3/4 Rhino rack been released?

Really interesting but similar question to @TheDocAUS on overall geometry - control arms and drive shaft. I’m just not touching anything on suspension at this moment without a solution

The little birdie told me it would have STEDI Lights and aux tank.

The Rhino Rack for the QM has also been added. So it looks like it is announced or about to be.

Surprising no UHF has been added, as yet.

The known players so far:
  1. Norweld tray and canopy (the Elite Tray, and the canopy is the Deluxe Lite);
  2. JMACX Alpha 2.5 suspension, with more to come;
  3. Rhino Rack 3/4 roof rack;
  4. 136 litre Brown Davis aux tank;
  5. camping lights over rear door, most likely STEDI and probably both sides. They look like they are plugged into the exterior roof power outlets;
  6. work light on the rear driver's side of canopy roof, probably STEDI and probably both sides;
  7. STEDI lights (x8) on the roof rack, maybe Type-X EVO 4 mini LEDs (controlled by the Redarc TVMS?);
  8. Redarc TVMS (you can see it in the Norweld video).
Waiting for reveals of fridge, UHF and recovery gear.

3/4 Roof Rack and work and camping lights were not showing in the Norweld video. So a STEDI light video and Redarc power setup may yet come.

I posted the drive shaft question to anand in regards to the QM since that is my soon to be ride. I asked since the QM is longer, is it safe to assume the axel angle is more relaxed. He replied with a yes. This would then lead me to believe the control arms might be different.

Control arms may be the same, and instead their mounting location has changed. I think that may be an easier alteration in the production process than adding four new part numbers

That’s angle on rear because of the longer wheel base I assume - front still the same issue on lift???
