Mine has the roo bar and the side protection rails which go from the roo bar to the side steps
I would kill for a roo bar in NA. If I can't, I'll order the parts (might need steel bumper too) from Australia and ship to the USA.
Could be a group buy!
Went out to close the back door yesterday and this little wallaby was out the back
Don't tell everyone that sir Jim envisions it being electric eventually. Going to ruffle some feathers around here.I am watching the videos on the IG site and in this video it sounds like Sir Jim doesn't like the front design? About the 4:26 min mark:
Ep 12 behind the INEOS Grenadier
The man who made it all possible, see what INEOS Automotive owner Jim Ratcliffe has to say about the vehicle's design, capabilities and its future. Read more.ineosgrenadier.com
My American ears might not be hearing correctly.
Overall, a really nice interview and my first exposure to Sir Jim.
I am hoping for after market bumpers (metal), too. In Germany the heavy metal bumpers are called "Geräteträger" (equipment carrier). But for a complete "Roo bar" als Dave B showed today at 5.35h a.m. on the foto below - you don´t get a chance that it will be allowed - because of "pedestrian protection".
In some ways, this makes sense if part of the IGs target audience is mining, agriculture, etc. where the miles traveled in a workday are minimal. The truck can easily handle the off-road nature of each of these areas, and then the trucks could be charged nightly and have plenty of range for the workday itself. I think about this all the time here where mail trucks and school busses should all be electric - they are out in the real word, but travel less than 150 miles the entire day.
I say the same thing - even in our Honda Fit/Jazz, little and light as it is, would clobber someone at 35 or 40 mph. The issue in that situation has very little to do with the bumper. but rather Newton's law that F=MAI am hoping for after market bumpers (metal), too.

In my personal opinion: When you are 80 Kilogramms heavy, and you crash with a car that comes with 50 km/h and 3.000 Kilogramms masse - it is not a theme whether these 3 tons are built so or built in another way - you have a very bad chance! 3 soft tons or 3 hard tons (even electric) - they throw you away for ten or twenty meters - that´s the point!
My Toyota´s got a after market bumper - simply steel. No winch. I love it. I drive carefully - that´s the best pedestrian protection!
Child of the 70's - yep even LED versions.The 70ies come to my mind ...
Didn't know they still exist.
I really would like to have the steel bumper as well. But I do not follow your argument.I am hoping for after market bumpers (metal), too.

Maybe someone should ask/answer the question of why so many pedestrians are getting hit by cars.
Because they move out of their territory?
They are testing plastic bumpers?
Who, the drivers?
With bad luck they as well!Who, the drivers?
Black humor indeed ... but indeed a horrible discussion.
