    Is that some sort of skid plate mounted directly to the transmission int he background or a plastic oil pan?

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

    Many of those issues are going to be "quirks" I think people will just have to live with....it took all the major manuf years and multiple generations / iterations to sort out. I think if those types of quirks are dealbreakers or will annoy you, there will be more weird things, then it's...

    Risks of buying a new Grenadier

    There is "Expedition Vehicle; Other" as a catch all for rigs like the Grenadier.

    If your lucky enough to get one from manuf, I bet secondary market these things are going to go through the roof....

    How the Bronco compares to a LC70/Prado; practically

    You can apparently upgrade the Ranger to the same Advantek axles you can fit to the Bronco, D44 up front + HD half shafts & D60 out back....all OEM plug & play....not sure if it widens track width. I suppose you are right with the Jeep + aftermarket axles, but the Ford is "OEM" and has a...

    How the Bronco compares to a LC70/Prado; practically

    Well I guess people just praise the LC70 for being overbuilt for what it is....same for the FJ40's, but we have a domestic option with 1/2 - 3/4 Ton axles that any of use can buy now that pencils out similarly. I think it's the first small rig that has option to use factory / OEM 1/2t + running...

    How many of you ACTUALLY overland with your 80s or 60s

    Agreed - with the rise of "expedition" cool, the market for rigs that exude that look like Cruisers are getting ridiculously priced. They still have overland value if you know how to work on them and are familiar with them, but for most, they are now collector rigs status. The prices I see for...

    Towing with a Tacoma.....

    100% spot on - payload is always limiting factor, towing limits are largely meaningless.

    HJ45 Tranny Options

    Some folks are more familiar with these then me but I'd say if you want reliable just rebuild the stock stuff. Once you get into aftermarket Tcases you open up a huge can of worms. You'll need to familiarize yourself with your rig, get on IH8mud and figure it all out. I'd be concerned if...

    Special axles I'd guess the e-locker is proprietary to axle manuf....that would be my guess

    Risks of buying a new Grenadier

    I thought it was a bit strange too - seems like there is some sort of connection between EP and Inneos....bit silly if you ask me. Outside of payload capacity, which is a big deal to a few, I don't see much the Gren does better than a Bronco...

    Tundra vs LC200 Parts Commonality

    Per the article and the quote "Additionally, we wanted to drive something that had support in many parts of the world", does the Tundra have enough in common with LC200 to have parts availability globally? It's common for manuf. to use the "same" parts but enough difference to not be...

    Risks of buying a new Grenadier

    Biggest risk is them shutting down if that happens, yes, huge PITA to deal with, I don't see how it won't be. It's not so much any one part but all the interconnecting parts, there is no one stop shop for 'everything' you'll be on your own to source stuff from many different vendors....all...
