hey Ronny, don't know if you'll see this but there's a European company that made a solution to fit a larger tyre on the rear door. it's basically a steel bracket that shifts the tyre carrier position a few inches to the side to allow a 35 to fit on the rear door without obstructing the smaller rear door from opening.
Dude, that is insane. I liked the idea of the Ineos when I first ehard about it, and now I'm starting to love it... and I don't even own one. Makes me want one so bad!
I just hope Toyota will loose a lot of buyers, so they would finally upgrade 70- series as it should be upgraded and not as this last upgrade where they forgot to change rear axle, etc ...
A piece of flat bar bent so it runs flat under the light bars on your rack and up on the sides to mount to the light bar bracket bolts would cut the light off your skylights and let you leave them uncovered. I work in film lighting in nz and we call it an under-chop.
Delighted to see someone who actually knows their sh1t putting this thing through its paces. Also excited by his reaction to everything done. It's an absolutely cracking machine but I will always feel the engine is the achilles heel. Maybe some additional protection here @ Ronny
@@Wickham09 I do a lot of mileage on Irish/EU roads so very good quality and I could honestly put my hand on my heart and say that at least 20-30% of cars I see getting towed are BMW diesels. I'm not sure why, but I've heard it's the common rail and high pressure system as a whole. I could be wrong though? Ozzie roads are a different animal in terms of wear and tear.
@@simon8089 fair, my thought was I see a lot of people swapping BMW diesels (M57) in to 4x4s online in Europe. Is the B57 belt, chain or gear driven? What would be the issue with the fuel pump? Might be electric in-tank pumps?
I picked up the switching wire for the relay from the back of the RH headlight ,it is the easiest point to get to . To get to the rear of the driving lights requires the removal of the bull bar and most of the front of the vehicle. The power for the relay came from the aux wire under the bonnet behind the air cleaner but I was wiring a light bar to the bull bar
I am absolutely wishing that you get to love the Grenadier Ronny… throw in a monkey wrench into the mix with the other three (3) Land Cruisers 😂 I’m planning for a Troppy but I want to finish your review of the Grenadier first… particularly how effective and efficient it is for camping and overlanding. Lots of info in this channel 🎉
Love the prewire routed setup because it is what it was built for. Military application and have things on standby and easy to fit. The fact that this vehicle has snap to fit areas means the engineering was built by some mechanics rather than just engineers. I have been a fan of this British offroad vehicle. Jimmy deville which I think you should interview has a landy defender.
Hey Ronny, I am one of your followers from the Sultanate of Oman.. This is the first time I see you without your Land Cruiser..!! I am obsessed with the Defender, the appearance of the Grenadier has made it my number one target now. However, the specialists advised me not to buy the first model, or even the fourth model, for several reasons, including that these models are still in the process of experimentation and development, and the prices of spare parts are exaggerated, for example: a replacement car key costs $1,200 dollars..!! Since I have confidence in your experience, I hope that you provide specific information in a clear and frank manner in your upcoming episodes, for example: fuel consumption, diesel/petrol engine performance efficiency, internal/external design defects, air conditioner efficiency. Please provide a complete evaluation of the car from all technical and mechanical aspects.
Yep, love it. Partially a biased opinion as I am a Defender owner, however, I can't buy a new traditional-type Defender any more. This really is what Land Rover should have done.
An option would be to put a similar sized footrest in your current 4x4 and see if you can get used to it especially on a long trip, as this would be my biggest gripe about the vehicle
i'LL Bet you that those powered outlets on the roof can be controlled by the BCM and not the normal standard auxilary wiring standard. If that is the case a very simple software adjustment could switch them off and on with the high beams. The Panniers (For want of a better term robbed from the motorcycle world) look like an excellent option for external storage. Plenty of extra drag though on a highway trip.
i always wonder why people think european cars are hard to work on just by the fact they are european. cars got more complex generally speaking. each vehicles has its own guts, so hard to compare a sports orientated audi to lets say a renault grocery getter. 4x4's are a different breed of engineering alltogether. same on vehicles like vans.
I thought lifting the vehicle by more than 50mm required (engineer’s) approval? 40mm lifted suspension plus the larger tyres would put you over that. Gotta be careful that your insurance company doesn’t just walk away if you’re ever involved in an accident. You could be wearing all the costs (repair and medical) of you/your car and any others.
Reuben has a problem when someone don't agree with him or has their own opinion If it is not don't Reuben way he hates it and challenging everything and one
Maxxis Razr MT are some of the worst tyres out there. I returned mine within a week and went back to the trusty Nitto Trail Grapplers. Chalk and cheese, on road and off road.
Hmm.. Can it go any smaller than 17" rims? I mean, Y61 patrol can fit down to 15 inch rims. That's like 2 inch worth of rubber we're missing here. And if the grenadier can NOT fit anything smaller than 17 because the braking calipers would block the rim, then it's a major downside people need to know about. 16" is the offroad standard where all the best tires are offered. 305/70/17 is 33.8 inch, or 34 roughly, it is somewhat okay-ish, I guess? Still not quite an "offroad beast" size, especially considering how much the grenadier weighs, i'd say 35 is a bare minimum here. It's funny how the maker did not even think people would put anything bigger than 33" tires with its spare carrier - the same mentioned Y61 patrol CAN carry a 37-inch spare on its factory place. But it can be fixed with custom swing-gate spare wheel carrier, all the cruisers with spare underneath the frame, require that anyways... Meanwhile IFS ford bronco is offered with 35-inch tires with just a factory package :\
Hey mate, mine has caught a small stone in the abs ring on the rear wheel and went into a total electronic meltdown with the ring slightly bent out of place. Car is now at the dealership, but unfortunately the special tool needed to clamp the ring is not available. Also, no fully equipped rear axle available for replacement. A similar problem on a vehicle in the Netherlands was sorted out with complete vehicle replacement under warranty, which is kinda nuts. Can you please inspect your abs tone rings for damage and keep us updated if it's something goes south?
If we round down your '2 cents worth' it is worth zero cents. Clearly we are all capable of understanding the abbreviations for aluminium alloy and alloy steel.
If you are going to be truly pedantic, it isn't "steel is an alloy" it is "steels are alloys". There are numerous steels. Whole families of them in fact.
I question the safety and security of an exposed tank attached to the side of the vehicle, looks silly, especially in yellow, I like that is modular, but not sold on a fuel tank mounted like that.
Great video. It’s good you have got your hands on one so we get a proper review and not BS. Will be good as well to see how it goes on a long trip. I’ve done 5k miles in mine and even on some fairly long journeys the hump hasn’t caused a problem. I also have the built in winch . Where did you get the number plate cover from as mine came fitted with a plastic cover with two screws. Not great. Looks a lot better with the bars on.
I had UHF radio mounted on drivers side front roof mount and ariel cable wend down same channel as the front right outside plug wiring. I can send you some photos if useful. Let me know. Rob
Looks great! I've been waiting for this to drop as I am looking at tyres on mine. That seals it as I was thinking 315/70, but having seen the door clearance, there's no way they'd fit. 305/70 it is... Its so annoying that we cant get the metal bumper and the bars here they really look the part, and with the amount of deer on the roads here i'd be a lot happier with them on.
Love it mate. Interestin our troopy with 35" Toyo M/T we have that sound, you explain. Never knew what is was, like a droning sound. Is that what the mud terrains produce? What causes that. Great vid mate & well done.
Yeah muddies are noisy, nothing like old ones but, caused by large deep tread blocks , smaller and each tread block being different size will reduce noise, the noise is mostly caused by harmonics, there is a few good vids on it and how they have made tyres quieter I think newmind did one recently
Ronny - I have a question on the wheels n tires - I just got my grenadier and wanted to put larger tires getting the eibach installed today but on your tire size 305/70R17 how did they fit on the stock steel wheel? The steel rim is narrow at 7”5 inches and those tires spec a width from 8”-9”-10”…love to get some feedback.
Ronnie do you have jiggle siphon tubes in Australia? Metre long pice of clear pipe with a marble sized ball at one. Fantastic simple piece of kit to siphon fuel.
Is the steering and the foot rest to much of a turn-off? Is it a deal breaker? Coming from a chopped 105 LC. Great review by the way. I like the real Aussie testing.
I've come from an LC to a Grenadier, while it takes a day or so to get used to, like the steering, I like 99% of owners have no problem, but in reality it's a personal thing.
There’s a lot to love about Ineos, but storing fuel like that isn’t ideal. It’s not quite on the roof, but it is high up. On a tight track, you’ll have trees whacking into a fuel tank.
@@jayd3931 probably, not knocking the idea, just pointing out the range of this car for me is the biggest drawback. That and the footwell. I’m interested to see how he goes after 2000 km 😂
Just thought I'd let you know, we hav just finished taking one north to south own the Oombulgurri Track. Never missed a beat; ran like a Swiss watch; and conquered all. I was in my LC200 (which also did very well), but was very impressed with the Ineos' performance. Shod with Maxxis Razor AT811 275/70/17.
Great video, the car looks awesome. It bugs me you say it fits nearly 35" tyres when a 305/70/17 is only a 33.81" tyre (if it runs true to size). I'm sure it can take a 35 with no lift too, but I think for future check online regarding metric to imperial tyre size conversions :) A question I had about the car is after looking at the underside of one at a 4wd show, it seems that many of the steering components hang really low, especially the steering damper in the front end. I know it's got bashplayes but unfer flex or after a lift these wouldn't be doing too much. Have you found anything like this becoming an issue when crossing over large obstacles or rocks? Looking forward to the next video, been really enjoying this series
Light Bar Wiring: Would there be a fusebox with a 'driving light' or 'high beam' fuse that only gets power with your high beams on? Also, would there be a dedicated fuse for that switch? If so, what about putting a piggyback fuse holder on the high beam, and plug the tail into the switch's fuse holder? (standard spade terminal if its a normal blade fuse)
Ronny, lots of things to consider. I think the car is awesome-absolutely. But it’s not a South African or Australian oriented vehicle. We also need to look at The cooling pipes of radiator. This is a problem with many off road vehicles. The BMW engine is very reliable but can it be applied to this application
Ronny please explain the Compliance requirements needed to make the changes you do to your cars. These kids are breaching the state requirements and claiming your UA-cam clips are saving them - wrong
Did a Grenadier testdrive last weekend on a tour with hard off road tracks, was impressed about the capability of the vehicle. Ronny, how do you handle the limited weight capacity, since the empty vehicle alone is already 3 tons. Do you think you‘ll manage it without a GVM upgrade?
About time.... the nano second it was announced I immediately assumed a bunch of guys would have built these things up , ideally improving the steering & slapping some better tires/ wheels.
Ronnie this build has brought me back to your channel , I prefer your old trip stuff but this build is something else

How effective is the uhf magnetic aerial?
I just hope Toyota will loose a lot of buyers, so they would finally upgrade 70- series as it should be upgraded and not as this last upgrade where they forgot to change rear axle, etc ...
It does look way more balanced with the moderately larger tires and the grill hoops
A piece of flat bar bent so it runs flat under the light bars on your rack and up on the sides to mount to the light bar bracket bolts would cut the light off your skylights and let you leave them uncovered. I work in film lighting in nz and we call it an under-chop.

Also, land rover f'd up letting this thing go through uncontested
The engine will be fine, its the bolt on parts that will let them down later in life, but prob still be better then LR products there too
Why do you think the engine is an Achilles heel? Genuinely curious

ouch !
not bad
Not terrible, apart from the springs.
I have always believed that a 34" tire is about perfect. I would do either 285/75R-17 or 255/85R-17 . Looks amazing though.
@@eamon1648 u think 1142 is expensive for something actually important but a $1450 folded box is good lol ?
Perfect looking wheel tyre suspension combo. Definitely a vehicle 'built on purpose' for the enthusiast.
I have been dying to see someone lift one of these and fit bigger tires! Looks great!
Mate....I'm starting to seriously consider jumping into one of these (been a Toyota man for 30 yrs now). Great videos. Keep em coming.
First non-bot comment
Sounds like something a bot would say 😛.

if it means you have one of the more interesting cars in 30 years
Is this site a new car review now thats all u seem to get now days
Lovin these vids. Ive wanted a grenadier since day dot, you're fuelling my fire 💥👋👍
I like that you're trying something different but these things are $100k! I'm stuggling to see value for the average person?
These aren’t for the average person. They’re for the filthy rich overland market, in which there is seemingly an endless supply of demand
.. Andrew Hates it
All the right mods! Mine is coming thru Expedition HQ next week, getting the Xspec gear as well. Good work mate! 👏
Black Sheep Innovations Australia is now live with lots more Grenadier goodies, including an adapter to mount a 35 inch tyre on the rear door.
Good one Ronnie they dont pay you much can't afford to get the rest of your yobbos hair cut
It would be great if you could share how you're going with payload. I think the Trialmaster spec only leaves about 650kg to play with.
i'LL Bet you that those powered outlets on the roof can be controlled by the BCM and not the normal standard auxilary wiring standard. If that is the case a very simple software adjustment could switch them off and on with the high beams.

gonna need that extra fuel to make up for the wind drag, bigger tyres, roof rack and lift extra fuel usage!
The wheels make it, certainly a nice truck. You might be converted.

Old model Defender: I could do all these stuff...
Grenadier: Who asked you to commit suicide?
0:28 what I heard few months ago - any changes in the car like new tires cancel guarantee - is it true? or not applied in AUS?
I've got a new Defender. The only thing that concerns me wiring things up. However, I do like the Grenadier and the options for tricking it up.
Question on the winch. Very cool it comes with one, but, can you replace the 15m cable with, say, 30m to help improve its functionality?
