Removing raised intake

[CountyV8]

The cyclone is an optional extra and fits onto the existing raised air intake.
Says it is for offroad use only but maybe that is because it is so damned ugly
My vehicle as configured with RAI and then if I had optioned the cyclone for another $630

If you when available raid the grenadier parts bin and order the piece that fits under the cyclone down to the next piece of RAI you should be able to fit a normal Donaldson bowl type on to the circular pipe that the TopSpin fits to check Donaldson's

web site and no gaffer tape please.

I’d been told by ineos-
definitely not dealer fit, or easy to de-instal after delivery.

That surprises me.

It looks like anyone with two soup spoons for a toolkit could swap it out in 30 minutes.

I agree, it does look easy To unscrew. The info could be wrong, or it may be to do with the air path after the external part of the rai.
just thought i should pass on the statement,

Yes saw that. Maybe a G Wagon knock off just seen this as well. Used by the Nigerian army View attachment 7799347

Chinse still lack quality control I used to install Chinse made Bosch security equipment. And the amount of times they were to slack to wash the electronic circuit boards to remove the acid wash which would play hell later down the track. Yet on the other side of the coin my Volvo XC40 was manufactured in China and I cant fault it. They have the potential to do excellent work unfortunately they are a corrupt pack of bastards with no conscience. Thank God my Grenadier is not made by the Chinese.

Except, pretty sure a lot of the SOFTWARE is sourced via China. And...hrm...a lot of folks are having s/w issues.

They just put blanking plugs over the mounting points when not supplied
So no drilling or cutting into the metalwork required like most 4WD's

Who's selling this brush guard/bull bar? The factory accessory version isn't the prettiest I've seen.

That's the factory roo/bull bar

That's the factory roo/bull bar

I didn't see the bent sections that are down the side of the fenders, which is why I thought this one was different. Must be the angle of the photo.

Those are the accessory side protection (scrub) bars, a further bolt-on.

I have selected them not as scrub bars but for front quarter roo protection.
It is common to hit them with the front left corner of the vehicle as they are coming or going.
It is also easy on a tight track to rub up against dirt or sand

You might want to weld them on rather than relying on the bolt fittings in that case @DaveB

Does anyone know the diameter of the top of the RAI? Possibly 3”?

@Heater hope this helps. Pictures from front and side, measures in cm.

Yeah but who has 2 soup spoons when they are off-roading???

I removed my raised air intake and bought the little side panel from my local dealer.
I’ll patiently wait for someone to offer a better looking raised air intake for the Grenadier.

 

[Shaky]

How much was the side panel ?? Could they not get you the bracket covers ?

Wow
I just looked at your picture and was surprised you are judgemental about appearances
Personally I think you should take a boat ride to a deserted island near Hawaii.

Panel was surprisingly a bit more than $100 dollars
They didn’t have the covers at the time
