build

There have been scattered comments around the forum about this special build vehicle by IA Australia, but the following news article popped up on my news feed this morning. https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/outback-ready-ineos-grenadier-quartermaster-ute-scores-aussie-upgrades Looks...

I could not find a link to this OFFROADIUM Review. Build is focused on off road use, the sort of build you see in Australia, rather than Europe. Nicely done and a well thought out build, even if he probably goes over the weight ratings with the dual Jerry cans. Certainly not a cheap build with...

I always like to have a current project to play with after work. I do a new 1-ton diesel GMC every 3 years, I just finished a Bronco, and I’ve got stuff that came pre-dialed as I ordered it from the factory, like our G63. On to my Fieldmaster … Besides nearly rolling it off a cliff during...

It's time for me to start a build thread to help me organize my progress and thoughts on next steps. I'll incorporate hyperlinks to my posts in other threads detailing some of my mods to save time (and because valuable information for others contemplating similar mods will be in those threads)...

Almost finished with my drawer build out. Was planning on purchasing drawers but looking at the Grenny tax on how much they cost, decided to go another route for now. Turned out pretty well but definitely made some mistakes along the way. Goal was to have carpeted drawers that latch in place...

Well I have had my Quartermaster for 1 week now, and finally had some time to have a look around, and see what I need to do to make it mine! First thing I did was change out the tow ball with a DO35 pin to fit my offroad caravan. INIOS why so tight on the ball??? I needed a large pipe wrench...

Here is a new YouTube video of Agile giving an update on what is available and what is coming down the pipeline for Grenadier. View: https://youtu.be/REP3vsnpfDw?si=44hsqxOZhNsFiZgZ

Selling my 1993 NAS Land Rover Defender #99 has got to be one of the greatest regrets I may have ever had. What an icon that car was. As fantastic as that truck was to build, it seemed no level of meticulous restoration could achieve the reliability, safety, and comfort we come to expect in...

I decided to go with a different off-road lighting scheme with my Grenadier. As a result of going with four LP-6 lights I decided to redo my grill with a little help from some local fabricators. We took out the existing grill and reinforced it with 0.090" aluminum with hex cut outs on with a...

Looks like Patriot Campers have their hands on a Grenadier and are about to start a build https://www.facebook.com/reel/3719924911556374 https://patriotcampers.com.au/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz_NTdXkKz185yBdX6KvyPfPK7VbQYHQQ

Pre-Grenadier times I built out a Gen 3 tacoma on 35s, a Gen 1 Tundra with FWC, a '95 80 series, a triple locked '96 80 series on 37s, a 100 series, a 2021 Bronco, and shortly lived full-time in a 2023 Tundra flatbed conversion with FWC. I've visited 37 countries and driven in most of them...

There were six owners from Triad INEOS Grenadier in High Point, NC that attended this Grenadier specific training with Overland Experts for Off-Road Fundamentals. Looking forward to more classes with OEX. I hope you enjoy the footage. View: https://youtu.be/DheTHYT4ydc?si=qO4cehAiPaTtIAHz

I just finished the install of Agile Offroad's ARB onboard compressor. Fairly easy install. End result has a factory style finish with the switch and air outlet at the rear near the large back door. I really like how this came out. Let me know if you have any questions. We do stock these...

Last week I got my Ineos. I previously had a Jeep 4xe running 40s. Unfortunately for me, the hybrid system went out on it and then the gasoline motor needed replacement due to rod knock. Although I had an order for an Ineos with Sewell in Dallas, I felt the need to get rid of the Jeep as...

i am trying to work out if there is a difference between a 2023 model and a 2024 model? the salesperson mentioned an update to the software but i can’t seem to find anything about it?

I picked up my Grenadier on Friday June 28th, I put my order in last year when they opened it to non reservation holders. I wasn't sure at the time if I really wanted it as the cost was hard to justify. I have been watching content on YouTube and reading on this forum for a year and I never...

Reached the end of the to-do list on the refit. Rear Loadspace (thanks OffRoad Systems): Roof rack (Leitner Designs plus Clevershade): Rear seat: Cockpit: Under seat/Door cards (thanks BDM Leather) Hope there’s some ideas there if you also have a project underway.

Hi all, Here is my completed touring build except the roof rack fitout which will be done later: Roof Rack Lights: I wanted something that didn't require drilling, and this is my solution. The two plates clamp together and are larger than the hole in the rack. Internal Rear: I fitted a 20mm...

Decided to name the truck Trinity after the Trinity Peaks in Grenadier Mountain Range in the San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado where it be spending most of it time. Finally had back in Durango so had some time wrench on the truck, Installed - Leitner Designs ACS Roof Platform 3/4...

I ordered my Grenadier back in early March, with an ETA to deliver in August (to Texas). The web site still shows Ordered, ETA 3Q 2024 still and I have read it’s slow / does not update. Can someone share what updates I can expect to receive from Ineos / Dealer and whether August sounds like a...

I'm asking for people's opinion on what makes perfect canopy. If you could custom build your own or ask a existing builder to make the perfect canopy. I'm figuring out the must haves and what you don't need.

Last night we had some pretty decent raiin, not a deluge but enough to make the car lease. The back door is leaking at the gasket above the rear windshield wiper and the front windshield is leaking either at the windshield gasket or at the roof top GPS antenna between the skylights. I have no...

I probably should have started this sooner, but better late than never. Sir Grenulph Fiennes is a 2024 Scottish White Trialmaster, bought from RDS INEOS in Devon in mid-February 2024. Currently it has 2,500 miles and is awaiting his DE tags (thank you DE for taking an absolutely glacial...

This thread will be for my build of QM. I look to share ideas and also ask other forum memebers to share ideas or solutions. I have named the thread Quarterdeck after the military term used for area where senior officers work. Since I will be the captain of my ship, I will live and work in...

The Purchase In November 2023 we drove up to the RDS dealership in Pennsylvania to test drive the Grenadier. We only had a brief time with it but immediately knew that is was going to have lots of potential for how we intended to use it. Originally, we had our sights set on a pickup platform...

My build is nearing completion, in preparation for my biggest trip to date, a 16 day adventure through outback NSW, SA and Queensland visiting Nyngan, Broken Hill, Tibooburra, Cameron Corner, Innamincka, Betoota, Birdsville, Mungerannie and Blinman. My Utility Wagon (2-seater) has been set up...

Hi folks, I contacted my designated dealer (Knauz in Chicago) a few days ago to inquire about the status of my order. To my surprise, they told me that my Grenadier was in production, but that they couldn't provide a timeline going forward. I then contacted Ineos, and they told me that the...

So the Big Day eventually Arrived and I took delivery of my Trail Master in Scottish White Now it was time to start my build and long list of changes that I have been planning for Months and months reading this Forum and any other that I could. First Step was to Upgrade the sound system. i...

This is DaBull's Journey to his Grenadier & eventual Build. This first and second post are called "THE CHASE" DaBull’s Grenadier Journey “THE CHASE” Part 1 of 2 2-14-2024 Valentines Day DaBull's Grenadier and others arrived at Port Hueneme this morning 2-14-2024, Valentines Day, on the...

After many 4x4 builds, Land Rovers, Jeeps, and Toyotas, I came across this new car company with the concept of a purpose built vehicle. The Ineos Grenadier. As an enthusiast of all things 4Wheel drive and backcountry travel when I found out my local Land Rover dealer was acquiring the Ineos...

As I am anxious about the delivery of my Trialmaster tomorrow, I am also contemplating and planning the build. Please feel free to subscribe to my build thread for ideas and the like. First, as I mentioned I am taking delivery tomorrow of my slate blue Trialmaster with oxford white top. Mods...

I had originally spec’d a Scottish White Trialmaster w/tow hitch, privacy glass, aux battery, utility trim, and steelies. I ended up purchasing an Eldoret Blue w/Black contrast roof, grey ladder frame, integrated winch, utility trim, aux battery, tow hitch, and steelies. Current to do add-ons...

Hello all, so as not to diffuse the other discussion around Goose Gear products, I thought it might make sense to have a separate thread specific to the Alu-Cab Roof Conversion kit and plans for building out the interior and exterior. Since the conversion will not be available until Q3-Q4 there...

Hello I'm Tim (aka LeeroyJ and Hawg) and this thread is where I will detail the build-out of my Grenadier. This will be a work in progress so I'll update this thread as I build my IG. About me: I live near Phoenix Arizona where I recently relocated. I spent most of the past 20 years...

Hello folks, In our history, we have not done detailed build threads. But I feel that this vehicle warrants the effort from the team. We will most likely trim comments to items that are relevant to our build as a source for other users to get detailed information about what we do and why. Less...

Now that my Grenadier is at home, I've decided to post a build thread so I can keep track of the modifications I do and post simple reviews of gear I try out. I may post first in relevant threads elsewhere in the forum, then link the post here to keep things easy to find for me. Here's the...

I collected my donny grey TM diesel in July 2023 to replace my old 2016 defender 90 (i still miss it dearly). I spec'd it without the sunroofs as i have a roof rack, and without the bar/winch as I'd prefer to see what comes up aftermarket. Over the last few months I've been busy learning about...

Hello ALL, Need some help. Just received a photo of the "flags" on my "G". Showing UK:Germany. This is a NA build. What's up? Plus the panel to me is very clearly gray and not black. Photo optical illusion?? Photo was taken with an Android phone. Anyone know what's up ? Have ideas? I've reached...

Appreciate the comments regarding issues folk have had (thanks Trobex!). Here’s my experience after 3 days. Build no just shy of 9,000. At higher speeds (consciously running in so 60 mph) a noticeable whine. Not that loud but I’d prefer it wasn’t there. Dealer says typical and normal. Maybe...

I bring this up here because I've seen some opinions about "Chinese junk" on the forum. (And I've mostly agreed.) I personally still have an old-fashioned bias that says "made in the USA (or Canada or Europe)" is probably better than "made in China". For most things. But is it? I think it's...

Hi all, I plan to build my next Dream-Overlander based on the Quartermaster - here are some mockups. ➡️ Anyone out there who has similar ideas or could contribute some inspiration for the build? 🤩 Always happy to share and learn.

So test drove a new Field Master (120 Miles on it) at the dealer. Drove better than I expected with zero body roll or nose plow - and steering was better than I expected - seems it will be easy to get used to after the first return to center makes you see your life flash before you if not...

Just got a email from the GM of the dealer for me (SF Bay area). Seemed like a nice guy. Told me that my build is planned for january (which sounds about right). He told me they should get a demo vehicle in the next 2-3 weeks and he will ping me then. I haven't even seen the grenadier IRL so i...

I’m either Doc, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sleepy, or Sneezy because I’m not Happy. Got a call from my dealer, Red Noland in The Springs. Nice guy, went over the order and then dropped the bomb- “4 of 24 build date”- I’m like as in April of 24????? Yep. So much for a Q4 build and delivery this...

Since there appears to be some uncertainty from time to time in the forum about the quality of the Grenadier, here is my view after my last visit at my agent. My uncertainty, if it was there at all, completely disappeared when I visited K+E on Wednesday. I had asked to have a look at the car...

Some preliminary ideas for my build: * Light Bar on rack * Brake controller * Power for van * Side steps/rock sliders * Rok lights for roof rack * UHF & CelFi fold down Aerial mounts on roof rack (or on bull bar which is not a high priority at this point) Roll on Saturday so I can get my hands...

Just read this in the German press; https://m.bild.de/auto/auto-news/auto-news/mercedes-benz-produktion-der-g-klasse-wird-ab-2024-eingestellt-85412572.bildMobile.html I guess Ineos Automotive are rather happy with that decision!

It’s almost September and we have had no word from Ineos regarding our build date so we are two or three months behind. Why the delay?

I just received the email in the US for my build date. Currently it says Q4 of 2023. So not to specific it it’s something. I would assume delivery is then by Feb ideally. Anyone else receive this today? My reservation was OCT 1 2021.

Just a reminder for anyone sitting on the fence, the priority build window closes Friday night at midnight, and you don't even need a credit card this time which is a nice change. So any stragglers make sure you get in there with plenty of time, the last thing you want is to miss out if there is...

Should be interesting... View: https://www.instagram.com/p/CtwjBRht9gq/?igshid=YmM0MjE2YWMzOA== Link from bio: https://linktr.ee/share_creative_

Hi all, First of all I'd like to apologise for the lack of content and contribution over the last couple of months. As I'm sure you can imagine it's been extremely busy right lately getting vehicles out and ready for delivery. With our new showroom/clubhouse coming along nicely after a few...

If I decide to not option either the side steps or rock sliders because I prefers an aftermarket solution, will Ineos allow us to request a heavier spring set up as if we did option either a side step or rock slider. That way, when we put on an after market side step or rock slider, the vehicle...

I think I have come up with my build that gets me where I was thinking. I am looking for constructive feedback and general thoughts. Also, if you can provide answers to some of my questions that would be great Exterior Body Color Magic Mushroom (Solid) Wheels 17" Steel Wheel Tires...

trying to shave $1000 off of the build. has anybody compared the exact 2 tires that we have an option to get? im loosening my stance on the BFG to get the cost down. the b-stone shouldn't last as long but it seems like they should do better gas wise. the tread is less aggressive and...

I posted some questions in the build thread. For those interested, possibly it can help others with the same inquiries. Primarily aimed to explore the possibilities of adjusting settings on the suspension.

Does anyone know - Possibly I overlooked it but will the suspension accept a 2.0 x 3.0 +“ lift and larger tires to accommodate clearing rutted back country areas? Is there anything in-work or existing that can be fitted, such as OME or another Defender or other accepting kit? Just planning...

Hi All. I hope this is a small thread. Now that we are getting deliveries across the board, I was wondering if we could have a conversation about what issues forum members are noticing on their cars at the time of delivery. This will help all of us check our vehicles for these potential issues...

Getting very excited - just 12 days away............ 13th January is my build date, followed by delivery on February 1st.
