Nice build and great trip. I offroaded and overlanded with a modified Land Rover LR4, similar size to the Grenadier. I’m now in a modified Jeep Gladiator with an Alucab canopy and RTT. I have some vids of it, particularly one showing it as I use it daily with my mountain bike and all the stuff for it inside. You get a lot more room for what you guys are doing with a mid-size (to use a USA term) pickup truck with either a canopy and RTT or a camper like the Alucab or GFC or similar. The bed is bigger than any SUV boot- it is about the same size as with the seats down in an SUV, but with a pickup you still have the back seats available for either seating or you can do a rear seat delete and use for more storage. Plus, because the sides open on a canopy or camper, you can pack from the sides and, if you get a canopy or certain campers that have M8 rails on the ceiling, you can pack from the top down too. So you have much better access to your stuff. Just a thought for the next build. But in the meantime, this one is great and you guys are really using it. Have fun out there. Maybe I’ll see you on the trails in the US. 🤙
It was interesting to see how you set up your 4x4. I would like to build myself a 4x4 for weekend trips or for a week off from work. That's why I find videos like this very interesting. I didn't know the Ineos brand myself, it could be a kind of twin of the old Defender. I'll use Google to find out more about the car. Have a good trip and greetings from Norway.
❤ Hi guys thank you so much for visiting Laos. You are warmly welcome! Today I saw your awesome car in a Nissan show room probably some maintenance? Any help feel free to ask. Hope you a have a great trip during your visit in Lao 😊😊😊😊
@@sanyalackped3759 thank you! We feel very welcomed in Laos. Haha nice spot! We were there because our friend’s car needed some maintenance. Thanks for the offer 🤙
Oh forgot to mention- on steep downhills- low range and put it into manual selectable and select first gear. You shouldn’t need to use too much braking if you do this. If you are going too slow, just go into second gear, then if need to go slower, back to first, etc. Prevents problem you mentioned of brakes and tires getting hot and of catastrophic brake loss at the worst time.
Great setup and what a long journey you are going. 😍 Did you do any changes to be prepared for the case of getting only bad quality diesel fuel? Like additional diesel filters and so on. And please some more videos from time to time! And please share the route you had taken, could be a great inspiration for other travellers.
In Iran and Pakistan where the diesel is really bad (and cheep) we used a micron fuel filter (Mr. Funnel) that removes water and debris from hydrocarbon. And we have 2 extra fuel filters of BMW as spare parts. Unfortunately we could’n remove the high sulfur that was in the diesel.
Brilliant! Amazing trip…. With my grenadier camping I find that around 30-40% of the starter battery is being used up in one evening of just opening & closing the doors etc…. Have you overcome this? Thanks
Great video thank you for making it..! I have a Green Trialmaster in the UK with tent and bush co. awning. Trying to get it ready for adventure so yours is certainly inspiring me. Quick questions: The rear seats are deleted is that correct? Do you use the factory duel battery set up at all or have you ignored that to build your own Victron li-ion set up as shown in the rear? Finally - what are those little lights in the bumper they are amazing. Once again thanks for the walk around - amazing set up and what an adventure, very envious!
We have the utility version, this is the version without rear seats. And we use the dual battery system of the car only for lights and charging the camera. For all the other things we use the Victron set-up. In the end we could make more use of the battery system of the car since it’s 2x110aH. The orange lights in the rear bumper are Teralume X1 Work light Amber. Thank you and good luck with preparing/building your Grenadier!💪🏼
Great video! Please share the spare wheel hardover details (size, etc.)? Is that from a defender's cover or Chelsea Truck cO.? Where did you purchase?? TY!
Thanks for your video! We use our Grenadier (together with an offroad-trailer) as a overlanding rig as well. One question came to my mind immediately- what is the weight of your „ready-to-go-setup“ ?
@@ExplorersOverlandso you did not have bad experience with lower quality diesel in some countries? I assume that in some countries the diesel is not rally ideal for modern diesel engines - that’s why many people when traveling with new cars they decide for a petroleum version. A few years ago I went to Ethiopia and the petrol sources from the black market was of higher quality than here in Europe. Enjoy the world.
@@patpie3703yes only in Iran and Pakistan. Some AddBlue errors showed up but no real problems. But I think you’re right, for some countries it’s better to have a Petroleum engine.
Great enthusiasm for life , great couple, I wish you health and happiness In all, enjoy your epic journey ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video
Very nice video , and I love them energy system setup !
Great. We need more young pracmatic people like you.
Gave film. Leuk om jullie volgen.
Very different. We prefer everything to have a space. Neat and tidy. Take a look as our build comes along.
Wishing you good travels.

@@ExplorersOverland fantastic, thanks a lot 😍 and safe travels
I am Hezkia who was last night when to go to Indonesia again yes
Freaken Sick Sick Setup! Holy Smokes😯🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Brilliant! Amazing trip…. With my grenadier camping I find that around 30-40% of the starter battery is being used up in one evening of just opening & closing the doors etc…. Have you overcome this? Thanks
Very nice car & setup!
Have you guys checked how much the total weight of the complete roof setup is?
Think it’s around:
Rack 49kg
Tent 100kg
Awning 30kg
Shower 6kg
Solar panel: 10kg
~200kg

Thanks for your video! We use our Grenadier (together with an offroad-trailer) as a overlanding rig as well. One question came to my mind immediately- what is the weight of your „ready-to-go-setup“ ?
3700kg incl. us.
Awesome rig! Which water tank do you have? I’m curious which one fits well. Did you buy a system or make your own water pump set up?
We have the stainless steel water tank from Front Runner incl. pump.
Can you please tell me the name of the lights you have mounted on the side of the roof? And ideally, how you have attached them. Thank you!
Sorry I did put a link in there but UA-cam removed it. LA10526 Werklamp led, 24 W, 2.800 lm and mounted them with optical mirror mounts.
As this is an overland vehicle, did you consider buying the 2 seat version of the Grenadier?
@@davidkelly3779 this is the 2 seat (utility) version.
@@ExplorersOverland Very nice. Mine is also.
Be careful with that transmission valve underneath it, especially on the forest road with loose branches.
Hey, are you the figure from West Kalimantan, Indonesia, who was hit by a police car yesterday?
Yes 😢
How much did you pay for the complete setup?
@@SOKO-b8u too many;)
Do you run a secondary fuel filter?
No, only two extra as spare part. And we use a Mr. Funnel fuel filter in some countries.
