    INEOS Grenadier

    Axles are from Carrera. Regarding Bosch service centers being able to supposedly service these (I don't believe this has been finalized for the USA yet, at least the direct info from Ineos has not mentioned this. Purchase and service info for the USA is still being released later in '23), I...

    ATO AterraXL composite flatbed camper (pagoda roof)

    Here's my experience, and I talk about this more below too; the Mini Maxxair fan can't extract heat fast enough, so ceramic window film is a must for the summer IMHO. In the winter if you want a bit more inside warmth, fire up the Truma and it'll get warm quickly. I think the IR70 would be...

    2019 F350 6.2L 4WD build thread; HPI flatbed, ATO AterraXL composite camper, Carli/King, 37s, 4.88s, etc

    Thanks all, much appreciated. Furry kid has still been doing well. Had a minor suture infection that delayed chemo, but that's healed now and he just started chemo yesterday and is still making lots of people smile, especially at his persistance; he's become quite the quick tripawd. Pics to...

    Will provide some small ones soon as I've added a few things, in queue for more things, and other things on the horizon. Truck/trips hasn't been the priority lately, although I am taking it out this weekend; end/beginning of the year has been a doozie with 15yo furry kid diag'd with...

    INEOS Grenadier

    Many good points brought up here. I too have dreamt about a W461 G-Wagen for a long time, but it's just not going to happen. And I don't think the IG will be anything close to it, although it looked like a possibility at the beginning of their design. Also, a love note; To any European...

    Using the drain plug for oil changes on these; https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1250420 Sucking the oil out is a possibility on some modern Euro vehicles, but drain plug is preferred if accessible.

    2020 EarthCruiser?

    Yes, but most fire vehicles such as engines and paramedic Type1/2/3 ambo's actively respond to emergencies on ~a weekly basis or thereabouts, since they have equipment on board to respond to emergencies and help people. The specific CORE I see often is very much a specialty vehicle (NPR 4WD...

    2020 EarthCruiser?

    Impressive clearance for flooding. Sadly, the Hoodland Fire Core NPR just sits outside the station, all lonely, looking for action. Lots of $ for the municipality for it to sit. :(

    INEOS Grenadier

    Here's to the hope that Ineos makes it beyond year 3 with the Grenadier. ;) You mean there's a way to row your own gears? <shock>

    Apologies, I guess you did. Somehow I missed that and/or thought you were providing different specs at the time. Interesting it goes from 1.5" to 0.5" thick. Carry on...

    New Overland Explorer Base Camp

    Good stuff David. Mfr's never cease to amaze me anymore(so many stories)...couldn't fit dual diesel tanks because the mechanical engineering dept and interior engineering dept couldn't play nice, and figure out a new location for an interior switch on Lariat's? Ha! Even with million dollar...

    If you're going custom saddle tanks, but I don't see an aftermarket manufacturer wanting to offer those, plus it kills your under-flatbed storage box capacity.

    INEOS Grenadier

    SkiWill gets Best of Expo nomination. Thanks for the chuckle. LS? Yes, many simplified advantages, but at this point <yawn>......and yes, I'm trying to come up with a more suitable powerplant for the Grenadier. Maybe a 3rotor? :ROFLMAO:
