    Grenadier layoffs

    This is a really amazing idea that I've never seen floated before, but whatever lux brand wants an aggressive offroader...snatch 'em up. This is a way that the brand can live. Imagine the marketing possibilities for whoever wants it? So, what, BMW? Would a Chinese brand use Ineos as their way in...

    Grenadier layoffs

    The brand is in undeniable trouble. The incredible concerns with the reliability of the Gren that typically get glossed over here can be found all round the internet. I'm personally stunned as I expected the B58 to be a dumpster fire, and it hasn't been to date. Simply put, they are the normal...

    Grenadier OWNERS Thread - Answers by Owners to questions from Everyone Else!

    I should be clear that I do not think that this is a thing. However, there is no doubt that Ineos hasn't been shy about throwing these rigs all over the world, so they certainly know how to manage positive image of their product. As they should, and most companies do.

    Grenadier OWNERS Thread - Answers by Owners to questions from Everyone Else!

    To be honest and fair...I have seen gremlins, but this is the first mention of one being so bad. I'd love to know more, or, more importantly, know if this is a whole thing and the Ineos Social Media machine is so good and strong that it overwhelms the bad press.

    Grenadier OWNERS Thread - Answers by Owners to questions from Everyone Else!

    I had expectations of the BMW 6 being a trainwreck, as it has been an issue in very specific places, with specific "parts," in ways that I thought would overlap into the Gren. I don't spend my days looking endlessly for chatter, but I haven't seen a thing. I also can't tell if Gren's service...

    Outfitting my Grenadier Trialmaster

    I completely understand. I vaguely remember from when you were weeding out your Jeepy things, you aren't that far from me. I've already made changes to my GX, so I'm by no means stock and therefore likely of greatly-diminished use. But I'd certainly take one for the team and drive a backup rig...

    Outfitting my Grenadier Trialmaster

    I love your stuff, at all times. I only wish I was fortunate to see you do some stuff for the Prado/GX platform. Awesome ideas.

    Well, here we go again! Atl-atl gets another Four Wheel Campers "Blazer"

    I adore your work. Love reading about it all. I have a 2017 Lexus GX, but for my own uses, I snagged a Ranger and lo and behold...a small FWC appeared very near to me! I was going to snag it to throw on my Ranger but someone got there before me. Still on the hunt, in large part due to your work...

    This very much intrigues me.

    Mexican 1000

    Unless there's been a update I missed, we're at 6 weeks-ish with no diagnosis or explanation about something pretty significant. This cannot be considered anything other than a boutique vehicle at this point, which I (and others) have been bleating about for years now. If it were a water in the...

    The Heap. A Gen 2 Tracker/Vitara Build

    I love Monstaliner and it's one of my favorite things. It does a great job and holds up well, and I never saw any fade with colors, though YMMV. Going to be doing it on my Ranger shortly after we finish some oxide mitigation on the rocker. This is beyond impressive and has been fun to watch.

    72 IH + ‘85 Alaskan = Questionable Judgment...

    Are you able to start in 2? I know an old F350 with a four speed had a granny gear that was useless for anything other than towing. Does yours have the power to start rolling in 2nd everytime?

    72 IH + ‘85 Alaskan = Questionable Judgment...

    I mean....what's the possible explanation for that pattern? A plan to be able to easily rock it if and when you get stuck? Lots of slow speed vehicle placement in close quarters?

    EarthCruiser is closing!?!?!

    I don't remember who the upfitter is, but there was the recent story about the one that had a product that grenaded its rear axle and got stuck and caused a really difficult recovery which can be found on Youtube. I mention this because I don't remember hearing a whole lot of major problems...
