Thanks Stevo! As it turns out, I'm really quick at math. Just not accurate :D I've updated the math to what I think is correct; it's not as dire (240 feet instead of 460 feet) but it's still a huge difference. Timmy still dies (unless it's a Toyota as @Buddha. said! :D)

I'm 100% in agreement with your philosophy of wanting a setup that's safe and rides well, as that is my goal as well, and so I've tried to learn as much as I can about how weight impacts vehicles over the years. Transmissions are usually not the issue, but brakes for sure are. Transmission...

Totally hear you MarcusBrody - I didn't take your post as suggesting it wasn't good value at all. My commenting was just my thoughts on where that money has gone in this vehicle as compared to others, and how that makes me comfortable with it, but it will be a big bite. The big reason I went...

I’m leap-frogging posts a bit; sorry for the multiple replies in row! I am a bit nervous about the complexity of the engine. They are reliable though as you’ve said, but I’ve heard rumours of BMW routing oil through the altnernator bracket of some of their designs (??? Madness!). That makes me...

From what I understand, there’s a couple of sales methods. 1) Direct to Consumer via the Website 2) A dealer network. However, the dealer network is VERY different from a typical car company - from what I read and hear on videos, they are planning on using existing “off road” experts — picture...

I think it depends on what it comes with, but I do agree that it is more than I had hoped. Still, maybe not bad value which is the big measure for me. They have said that this price point is a “well equipped” vehicle, so for price points I wouldn’t compare this to a basic Jeep Sport for example...

Not disparaging at all NickW, I think those are fair critiques as Ineos needs to do a very good job of justifying why this is different, as compared to the other vehicles available. Especially at this asking price. I’ve been neck-deep in this vehicle’s news and information for a long time...

Hi folks, I listened in on my lunch break and tried to "live type" the stuff that jumped out to me; I kept a running narrative on www.theineosforum.com (for Gren specific stuff, I recommend signing up). Here's a cut and paste, but be warned I may have misheard things or mis-typed as it was a...

We make it work - but it’s take a lot of time and money and trial and error. Everything has to be the lightest version of what’s available - surprisingly, that’s what shifted my DIY approach away from “Can I do it cheaper?” To “Who cares if it’s cheaper, can I do it lighter?”. In our case, we’re...

I think we have similar perspectives! Sounds like Ineos will sell at least two of these things :D I totally hear you on the cargo area. I already have been thinking of how to build that out -- the wheel wells aren't flat on the inside, but a shelf across the top of them with vertical supports...

Totally hear you on the love of mechanical things. The Gren certainly appeals to that for me too. There’s something honest about the design so far that I quite like. I also get where you are coming from on the efficiency side vs how much capability you’d need. In my case I’m planning a global...

@dbhost thanks for sharing your process - like you said it can vary a lot for me too. Part of the fun of this hobby for me is also finding the "best" solution. My shower solution is perfectly functional, eventually, and it only takes 5 minutes to go through all those steps I described. Its' not...

Ha! Yeah my "Overland" accounts (Defender2.net, here, and OverlandBound) all use the same screen name. There's no "GrenadierFans.net" yet that I've found so I sort of sussed out where the best info was, and Defender2.net has some great stuff. For my needs I was comparing the new Defender to the...

Thanks! I just got the e-mail myself. Super exciting!

Ineos has been consistently saying 45-50k Euro; 45k for the commercial and 50k for the retail version. I suspect they'll get within $5k of that figure. Of course the options could make it far more expensive. I've seen this in interviews and I've been told it's been commented on Instagram by...

Thanks fellas -- @dbhost, you are absolutely right and that's the approach I take now (priming before use). But, that's still more steps than I like as I generally have to do it like this: 1) Intake hose in Bucket attached to pump. 2) Position spare catch can (pot or pan) at pump outflow. 3)...

Thanks rruf, I didn't realize that. I'm going to have to do some more thinking and reading to better understand the design, that but I'll edit my previous post to reflect that I had a misunderstanding.

I have the Eco Temp L5 (I think thats the model I have - looks the same when I googled it) and I run it exclusively off of 1 lbs green bottles. I've had it for 6 years of reasonably heavy use (1 month or more per year) I've not had a problem with that setup as the ignitor generally fires up...

EDIT 9/22: @rruff has advised a few posts later that my understanding was incorrect -- it's not that the electric motor ONLY works up to 18 MPH, just that the gas engine ALWAYS works over 18 MPH. Therefore, what I wrote below may not be totally accurate for the new Tundra...

My understanding was the F-150 was a package, akin to a tow package, so you could add it to various other trims of F-150 (including 4x4s) -- I might be mistaken though. Otherwise though I think you are absolutely right -- the "up to" is usually the most bare-bones version of the vehicle that's...
