Americas Life with an Ineos

[[ Adam ]]

Totally agree. We now use ours for sleeping bag outer covers on cold nights. I’ve posted a picture back in sept/oct to that effect. I’m now with Melville and Moon covers and very good quality

I can second M&M, great quality and fit. Love all the extra storage.

Skid plates arrived today. I should be able to install and share pics early next week. Having the starter exposed like that has me nervous.

What skid plates did you get ?

What skid plates did you get ?

SPP Underride guard engine and transmission “GorillaGuard” | Ineos Grenadier

If you like off-roading, you've probably asked yourself the question: “Can I get over there?” If “It'll fit!” turns into “Bugger, it didn't fit!”, you won't have to worry in future! Thanks to 6 mm thick aluminum, your tank is protected from sticks and stones.

The engine and the center one for now.

Looks great!

Just a head's up (and maybe you already know) - aluminum doesn't slide on rock the way that steel does. It can grab - especially if the rock is sharp - and you can get a little hung up. I'm not criticizing the choice to go with aluminum - I have aluminum skids from front to rear under my truck (front skid plate, engine, tranny, transfer case, gas tank) - and I am happy with the choice. I didn't want to use valuable payload on a set of steel skids, and my truck is not a hardcore rock crawler. Occasionally I wish I had steel under the truck, but 99.9% of the time I'm happy I went with aluminum. On my old Jeep, I'm glad I chose steel.

I am well aware of these characteristics. The weight was a significant part of this decision,and also availability. If I see myself really abusing these skid plates, they will get a UHMW add-on layer.
They are at the powder coat shop now. I think I'm going to get all crazy and do them in flat black.

And a couple more notes.

Still no replacement windshield.

The hitch install party date has been announced.

Really hoping the software updates show up soon.

 

[Sela Green]

I have a check engine light - P0461. Fuel level sensor. Has anyone else seen this?

Clear and move on. Dealer says it's a software bug.

I looked at that shot when posted and thought it was a cool pic and just thought that again when I opened the attachment in your post...then the penny dropped...sorry no pun intended could be a winner

Yeah, I still have to get to a dealer to do so, I believe. Seems none of the generic stuff will clear codes yet. Unless someone else has found otherwise. If so I would love to know.

I have also figured out that the fuel gauge is now not functioning so I'm getting really good gas mileage.

lol, now you can pretend to be an EV driver with range anxiety!
