Disclaimer
I am writing this disclaimer because I get a lot of questions about the upgrades/additions on this vehicle, why they were done, and were they needed or not.
As an owner of 10 purpose-built overland vehicles in the past, this is not a mall crawler. It was build with passion by myself to use it on adventures. I assure you that each modification or addition was intentional, and nothing was done for show, looks or to impress anyone. Hundreds of hours of work have been put into this vehicle so that everything is perfectly integrated. Except for Ineos Maintenance and Warranty, the only hands this car has seen are mine, so nothing was done flimsy, lazy, careless, or shady, things that are common in workshops nowadays.
The car was bought in March 2023 from the BMW dealership in Bucharest, Romania, to replace my Land Cruiser 300 GR Sport as the main overlanding rig. The LC300 GR Sport was too plushy and luxurious for my taste, so I sold it and bought the Grenadier.
I used it as it is for a while, with the raised bed platform and ScanGauge II, which were carried over from the LC300 with minor adjustments.
Modern cars suck at flood lights, so the first addition was a Lazer Linear 18 Elite ledbar, featuring both white and yellow beams, with a total output of 13500 lumens, wired to one of the existing ext switches under the hood.
Second additions were the Bison Gear drop-down tailgate table and the roof shelf.
After driving for a while in various conditions and getting fined once for using the ledbar in foggy weather, I replaced the OE auxiliary lights with the single led 7850 lumens projectors, on which I placed matte diffuser films. These are triggered directly by the high beam.
After a twisty and bumpy crossing in the Carpathians, I installed the EVC Throttle Controller which allowed me to better feather the throttle in technical terrain. The Grenadier is programmed pretty aggressive on the throttle, giving ~ 65% in the first 30% of the pedal. Also, I removed the kickdown spring in the accelerator pedal, so now the full 0-100% are available without the kickdown bump.
Summer came, and with it the intense heat. After driving for a few days in a row with the sun on top of my head, I decided that a metallic window film is required on the safari windows in order to keep the radiation to a minimum.
In order to plug in the fridge and not run out of juice, I installed the CTEK250SE and the 50AH LiFePo4 battery, along with the Victron Battery Protect - which protects the main battery from discharge by the accessories. I also installed a Garmin PowerSwitch because it is very compact for a button-relay-fuse all-in-one solution. I moved the roof loads (ext3 and ext4) and the fridge connector to the LiFePo4 battery because I would occasionally plug a reflector outside.
After using a portable radio for a while, I went for a permanent solution for both the CB band (we use CB band in Romania a lot for overlanding), and also for the UHF/VHF.
For extended trip with the kids, I bought the complete Alu-Cab Gen 3R package - Tent, 270-degree awning, awning enclosure, tent bed recliner, tent fold-down table. After finding out the hard way that 4x Ineos Grenadier original gutter roof mount bars are not enough for the Alu-Cab, I bought the Taubenreuther backbone system, which made a huge difference.
Winter came, and with it more storage and heating. I installed the AutoTerm 2Kw unit with the plug-and-play kit from Black Sheep, along with the wired lcd display/remote and the carbon monoxide alarm. More Bison Gear baskets and molle panels on the rear glass and tailgate, storage bags under seats. Air vent modifications were made to be able to bring heat into the tent.
I was planning for an Africa trip with the Grenadier, so I added the Brown Davis Aux fuel tank, raised air intake with cyclone prefilter and the additional Ineos water separator diesel filter.
Fully loaded for the Africa trip, the car would almost hit the bumb stops so I upgraded the springs with the Eibach Pro 2.5 Progressive. After installing them, the clearance was resolved, but I was not satisfied with the lateral sway so I bought the best available adjustable shocks at that time, the FOX Elite 2.5 with dual adjustments, high speed compression and low speed compression. I also upgraded the steering stabilizer with the Race Series 2.0 ATS.
I also installed the Garmin Tread for offline navigation. Unfortunately, the "Africa with the Ineos Grenadier" never materialized and went with a Dacia Duster instead. I made the whole 3-week trip, 10.000km in total, including 1800km offroad, from which ~150km of pure offroad madness while crossing the Atlas. The reason I abandoned the Grenadier for the Africa trip is the same I am "abandoning" it now - It is a very expensive liability which Ineos officially does not offer any means of recovery or assistance outside public roads. I was not ready to lose ~130k worth of car into the Moroccan desert yet, and towing 3.5 tonnes of Grenadier for hundreds of kms offroad in case of a breakdown was out of the question for any team member.
My trips require frequent remote travel, where Ineos Road Assistance is not willing to go. That's why I am humbly replacing it with a beater car that, if it breaks down, I take my backpack and leave, having no regrets.
