I run a "grenadier bumper" search once in a while, hoping for a North American option. Mostly seeking a front bumper but this came up today.

It ain't cheap.

EDIT: I see @angstorms found this already, via their fuel tank option. THANKS!

Initial look, cool! Secondary thoughts, expensive import and too many features. I'll wait for someone to make a heavy duty replacement bumper with smooth-sliding, lower surface.

It's got the makings of something useful for those that don't like bulky equipment hanging off the sides of their vehicle. It's a little cluttered looking for some reason and makes me think I'll need to be careful around it with all the sharp edges.

If the jerry cans were stacked side by side rather than across the back you could omit the tire carrier and just use an offset bracket for upsized rubber. That's one less thing to open when accessing the rear. It should be compatible with the rear ladder or they'll need to offer a folding/swing-down replacement. The ability to have the 70 door open and still use the ladder on the (closed) 30 side is a great Ineos design feature I wouldn't want to give up.

While I like some of the features, this iteration of the bumper also blocks the view to the main tail lights. I realize there are additional lights in the bumper but they are not large.

Yeah the bumper seems “full featured” but maybe not everything is well thought through.

I shared it only because it was nice to finally see a non-factory option. I’d like to see something without bells and whistles, just stronger (thicker) than factory, good departure, and ideally with better corner protection either with bars/loops or just thicker gauge. Ditto front. 🤞🏻

That is an Australian number plate from the State of Victoria (EDIT: which I now see it says in the description). I will try and find out which brand it is. My initial searches gave me nothing.

EDIT: I could not find anything on the Kaymar, UNEEK4x4, Rock Armor or Raslarr websites. So it maybe a smaller maker. See next post.

Here is the original Australian link: https://www.thecruisercompany.com.au/product-page/ineos-grenadier-rear-bar

To be frank, I have seen better designed rear bars from other Australian makers, but not for the Grenadier. I had a UNEEK4X4 rear bar on the Patrol.

I suspect one reason why the Grenadier lights are obscured is because you can mount two 35 inch tyres if you want, on that rear bar.

Looks like a complicated rear area access procedure 😆

It has ADR (Australian Design Rules) approved lights fitted which would suggest the lights are very bright and prominent when activated. ADR rules about vehicle lighting are very stringent and I would suggest harder to comply with than US rules. None of that red turn signal malarkey 'round here.

My 40, 60, 80, 100 all needed bumpers, and a well designed purposeful unit looks good… but… one thing better than a sharp bumper is not needing a bumper. The hasps and hinges are a pita. One of the joys of the Gren is rear barn doors that can carry a load. Fab something that can carry a couple cans and replace the cool looking but useless rear ladder, and revel in the clean design and 150 pound weight savings.

Hey Guys, Mark here with Road Armor we just are about to release and front and rear bumper for the INEOS we purchased to design products for. I am trying to get some feedback and then how we can become a mfg. vendor sponsor of the site. I will have some pics to share tommorrow probably.

@Krabby @Stu_Barnes @anand should be able to point you in the right direction on how to become a vendor.
