Grenadier Height

[Rooballer]

Dave is that crossing in Brisbane? I recall a 1.9M in Brisbane which I drove under about 5 years ago. My Ute at the time was 1.9m exactly, bridge was 1.9m, I had wife step out and check had about 25mm clearance!!! I since think the bridge was raised as part of a Bus terminal upgrade.

It is in Brisbane, (in Wynnum) also known as "Duck Bridge"

I specifically measured the prototype and it was identical to my TD5 defender which is slightly lifted. 205CM

Might have to fabricate the drawers from cast iron if I want to fit a rack.

Make sure the tank is always full...

Overhead panel now reads 2.05m.

That was just an old picture I had in my Grenadier folder
I assume the height will change with wheel/tyre spec as well

The standard access height in Australia now for a 'carpark' is 2.2m. However, we have thousands of older carparks designed to the minimum 2.1m height, but with modern tech added such as Sensor parking, upgrade ventilation etc - many are marked between 1.9m and 2.0m. Anything under 1.9m is totally illegal. So, Grenadiers will have a tough time in MANY older carpark in Aus...

Yes it is
Eastern suburbs

Plenty of very low bridges around and stupidly in a country full of SUV's and 4wd's a brand new rail bridge with only 1.9 Metre clearance
Very few people know I have spoken to know the height or clearance of their vehicle. Particularly after they add roof rack, awning, etc etc
Let alone a vehicle they have borrowed or share at work

never seen anything like that in W.A

The Grenadier's a lofty beast , but built to suit the dimensions of its instigator
I should be OK with a roof rack and <wafer thin> tent

hi has anyone measured the height with the rhino rack?

My thoughts too - how much extra height will roof bars / racks add?

Haha, I went under that on my moto years ago. I recall thinking WTF I have to duck on my bike!!!

At stock 205cm - there are numerous carparks here in Bris/GC that cannot be used. Even my local grocer has a 195cm car bay height which only just fits my work Ute with racks...

From memory it will come in about 3cm under 2200mm
The memory remembers a post from Ineos which made me note "I should be ok...just!"

I used to take the defender into a car park with 210. The defender is 205. It was needlessly stressful.

I might pack a tape measure tomorrow

No chance of any errors here

Amazing, thank you.

That means 2150 mm. What does +100 mean? Should I or must I add 100 mm, so always assume 2250 mm?

2150mm = +100mm over the standard height of 2050mm, as shown inside the vehicle.

When I look at the Rhino-Rack homepage in Germany, I can't yet choose INEOS as the car brand.
