    Anyone 'daily' or do a lot of miles in a Grenadier?

    I want a larger fuel tank that is crash test rated because I don't like covering my vehicle in Molotov cocktails on every spare bit of e-track. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Everyone's risk tolerance is different. I'd prefer something a bit more well thought out than a small...

    LR4 Off-Road Towing

    If you were towing it empty from picking it up, it was probably closer to 4,500 lbs. The OP was asking about a NA V8 and 6 speed, which is what I have. I have also towed our trailer with a supercharged V6 and 8 speed, which does noticeably better at altitude and doesn't have as wide of ratios...

    Anyone 'daily' or do a lot of miles in a Grenadier?

    Saying the seats are more comfortable than your Defender says a lot. If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Good to know you haven't had any issues with passenger seat comfort, but I'm wondering how tall your passengers are. My wife and I are both 6' plus. I'm going to put my winter...

    The Lump: Long Distance Comfort in LHD

    Has anyone spent a long time, like 8+ hours in the passenger seat in a LHD Grenadier? Based on this review, and the many comments, it seems like it would be a dealbreaker on RHD. Still, if it's that annoying in RHD, it makes me think it would still be noticeable in LHD:

    L322 Project: Bacon Slayer

    Well, that sucks. At least I'm less inclined to get in a fight with my wife now for why I have a 12 year old LR4 but also need a 15 year old Range Rover. If I could fit a 265/68R18 in there and get the extra 4-5 gallons of fuel capacity with the L322's larger fuel tank, that would have been...

    L322 Project: Bacon Slayer

    Does a full size spare that size fit in the stock location?

    L322 Project: Bacon Slayer

    Another member on here was able to install Lucky 8 steelies on his 4.2 supercharged L322 without spacers. If you search for his build thread, he had a lot of great information. Anyway, great to see another Range Rover build.

    LR4 Off-Road Towing

    Depends on how well it was maintained and whether the timing chain has been done. You'll definitely want a good independent Land Rover mechanic to look it over before you buy it. I would not be inherently worried about the mileage as long as it has been maintained properly. I wouldn't buy one...

    LR4 Off-Road Towing

    I don't know what my teardrop weighs off the top of my head. Probably more than 2,205 lbs, but probably less than 3,500 lbs. I certainly haven't noticed any issues with towing off road, but I don't go rock crawling either. While the 7,716 lb tow rating is certainly higher than a typical...

    Grenadier: AluCab Pop Up Conversion a Reality

    That's more what I was getting at with being annoyed. YouTube is full of Troopy build after Troopy build which is completely unrelatable to those in NA unless we want to spend Grenadier+ money to import a 25 year old example (15 years old for my friends to the North), have it overhauled so it's...

    Grenadier: AluCab Pop Up Conversion a Reality

    There's also the side curtain airbags that they have to work around so I suspect that they will have to keep the opening a little narrower than "full width" as well. While I'm sure it will be more expensive than I can either afford or would be willing to pay, it's great to see this as an...

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    It's a joke. He has a Disco 5 diesel that he loves and has wheeled harder than most Jeep Wrangler Rubicons. He also has a sense of humor, which is a requirement for owning a Land Rover.

    Jeepster Commando Build - A Different Sort of Jeep Thing - Stoffregen Motorsports

    How? While I'm sure the answer is longer than can be posted on a forum, any tips you can list for ham fisted folks like myself would be appreciated. I always appreciate learning something new. Beautiful work as always, and I love the attention to detail to make things removable and...

    LX600 vs GX550; opinions

    This is no surprise to me, but the differentiation between LC and other Toyota products is being diminished. They are on a shared platform with almost all the same parts between 250 series and 300 series. It's now become a differentiation of size and luxury according to the Land Cruiser chief...

    LR3 Air to Coil conversion.....one year later.

    As the saying goes, don't look for 10 places to lose a pound, look for a 1,000 ways to save an ounce. Only 999 more to go! I struggle with the same issue. Everything I have has a purpose so my options are limited as well but I keep ruminating on it. LR3s and 4s are heavy beasts. I'll be...

    True, but they don't advertise partnering with Bosch service centers to provide a global service network either.

    INEOS Grenadier

    The dealer is incorrect that it has to be dealer serviced to be warrantied. There are right to repair laws in the US, but the burden of proof is on the owner and the dealer/manufacturer can be a real PITA about it. However, the fact that a dealer is saying this is a major broken promise. The...
