Melbourne Drive Day

And the back seats fold down to open up the boot space but there’s about 100mm step up where the seats fold.
Could be alleviated by some drawers (although pretty thin) possibly?

I think it's a bit more than 100mm:

And Justin Hocevar has confirmed the rear drawers will create a flat platform in the rear.

Definitely 243.7mm at least

With deliveries in the not too distant future, has anyone heard anything about these drawers to level the rear to the seat height?

No but with a single drawer and no built in fridge slide I’ll be running with another option.

Thanks @DCPU I didn’t realize that the Gearmate ones were thee drawers. I rarely have people in my back seat but I can’t commit to always leaving it down. I can’t imagine getting any draw system in and out is easy.

Side note - I love that Ineos is trying to partner with UK companies like Gearmate.

I love that Ineos is trying to partner with some of the world’s best companies (nearly) no matter where they are from.

And RED WINCH.

Warn would have been an easy option, but they went with RED, a smaller company started by enthusiasts

Yes I concur, that’s much more like DaveB‘s suggestion

I went to ARB this arvo and they had ZERO idea of Ineos or anything remotely associated with it..
they did however say their Roof Racks are significantly cheaper <$2000 (and better.. bias?) than Rhino racks.

This does not surprise me one bit. I think anyone waiting for ARB to launch a full suite of accessories will be waiting for a very very long time I suspect.

Yes they did say even if they do develope accesories it may be 9-12 months before we see anything anyway with testing, reg’s etc etc.

 

[DaveB]

I was told Frontrunner are developing mounting brackets or use with their standard product.
Shouldn't be too different to their LR Defender range
Easier for them as they only have to do the mounting brackets not a new rack

 

[grenadierboy]

There was a rumour/fact circulating a few months ago that ARB is being given one of the PTO1 cars by INEOS to help them develop products suitable for the Grenny - if so, ARB must be serious.

ARB are big so I guess ARB products for the Grenny will come next year.

just my thought but :-
They may have been sworn to secrecy. I don’t think many aftermarket suppliers will put their hand up until the actual vehicle is officially launched and first deliveries are made.

 

[Steveo]

I was also on the Melbourne drive and can echo @Davman's review comments.
Fantastic car.
One thing we did (with the permission of the Ineos team member), was take out the drivers side floor mat to see how big the hump was below the footrest. It's not that big a hump but the floor mat itself has a large amount of acoustic insulation in that area (because that's where the exhaust is). Perhaps some home experimentation with tuning the amount of insulation to reach a compromise of a more comfortable footrest, but a little more noise, could be done?
For me, it was not a major issue.

Yes Steveo,

see my picture above of the underneath section.

The INEOS rep said the aftermarket will probably come up with a 'tighter" fitting floor mat.

The junior sales person or fitter at the ARB shop will not be involved in future product discussions, which may involve non-disclosure agreements.
I looked at a job as a manager at one of these outlets a few years ago to discover they get paid about what I spend on wine each year.
probably even the manager of a store is not involved in future product discussions

 

[Camskii]

Grange or Koonungha Hill?

 

[DaveB]

Grange or Koonungha Hill?

I am highly adaptable

 

[DaveB]

My grandson once asked me
What do I have to do to get that guys job
I said
Don't try very hard in life.
I left school when I was 15 and left home a week later with $50 and nowhere to go.
45 years later I am buying a Grenadier
