    Local Area Thread My build is complete. Now what?

    Hi folks, I contacted my designated dealer (Knauz in Chicago) a few days ago to inquire about the status of my order. To my surprise, they told me that my Grenadier was in production, but that they couldn't provide a timeline going forward. I then contacted Ineos, and they told me that the...

    Build Thread Falcon Overland Build

    After many 4x4 builds, Land Rovers, Jeeps, and Toyotas, I came across this new car company with the concept of a purpose built vehicle. The Ineos Grenadier. As an enthusiast of all things 4Wheel drive and backcountry travel when I found out my local Land Rover dealer was acquiring the Ineos...

    Alu-Cab Roof Conversion Build Out Ideas

    Hello all, so as not to diffuse the other discussion around Goose Gear products, I thought it might make sense to have a separate thread specific to the Alu-Cab Roof Conversion kit and plans for building out the interior and exterior. Since the conversion will not be available until Q3-Q4 there...

    Hello I'm Tim (aka LeeroyJ and Hawg) and this thread is where I will detail the build-out of my Grenadier. This will be a work in progress so I'll update this thread as I build my IG. About me: I live near Phoenix Arizona where I recently relocated. I spent most of the past 20 years...

    Goose Gear Build Thread

    Hello folks, In our history, we have not done detailed build threads. But I feel that this vehicle warrants the effort from the team. We will most likely trim comments to items that are relevant to our build as a source for other users to get detailed information about what we do and why. Less...

    Now that my Grenadier is at home, I've decided to post a build thread so I can keep track of the modifications I do and post simple reviews of gear I try out. I may post first in relevant threads elsewhere in the forum, then link the post here to keep things easy to find for me. Here's the...

    Build Thread @ninetubes - overlanding build - western australia

    I collected my donny grey TM diesel in July 2023 to replace my old 2016 defender 90 (i still miss it dearly). I spec'd it without the sunroofs as i have a roof rack, and without the bar/winch as I'd prefer to see what comes up aftermarket. Over the last few months I've been busy learning about...

    Need Help - Why does a NA build vehicle have a UK/Germany Flag emblem??

    Hello ALL, Need some help. Just received a photo of the "flags" on my "G". Showing UK:Germany. This is a NA build. What's up? Plus the panel to me is very clearly gray and not black. Photo optical illusion?? Photo was taken with an Android phone. Anyone know what's up ? Have ideas? I've reached...

    Recent build - still software issues?

    Appreciate the comments regarding issues folk have had (thanks Trobex!). Here’s my experience after 3 days. Build no just shy of 9,000. At higher speeds (consciously running in so 60 mph) a noticeable whine. Not that loud but I’d prefer it wasn’t there. Dealer says typical and normal. Maybe...

    China vs USA build quality

    I bring this up here because I've seen some opinions about "Chinese junk" on the forum. (And I've mostly agreed.) I personally still have an old-fashioned bias that says "made in the USA (or Canada or Europe)" is probably better than "made in China". For most things. But is it? I think it's...

    Building the dream Grenadier Overlander

    Hi all, I plan to build my next Dream-Overlander based on the Quartermaster - here are some mockups. ➡️ Anyone out there who has similar ideas or could contribute some inspiration for the build? 🤩 Always happy to share and learn.

    Build Quality

    So test drove a new Field Master (120 Miles on it) at the dealer. Drove better than I expected with zero body roll or nose plow - and steering was better than I expected - seems it will be easy to get used to after the first return to center makes you see your life flash before you if not...

    Got a dealer (and a estimated build date)!

    Just got a email from the GM of the dealer for me (SF Bay area). Seemed like a nice guy. Told me that my build is planned for january (which sounds about right). He told me they should get a demo vehicle in the next 2-3 weeks and he will ping me then. I haven't even seen the grenadier IRL so i...

    Feb 22 reservation and an April 2024 build date….

    I’m either Doc, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sleepy, or Sneezy because I’m not Happy. Got a call from my dealer, Red Noland in The Springs. Nice guy, went over the order and then dropped the bomb- “4 of 24 build date”- I’m like as in April of 24????? Yep. So much for a Q4 build and delivery this...

    My Impressions When Looking At The Underbody Of The Grenadier.

    Since there appears to be some uncertainty from time to time in the forum about the quality of the Grenadier, here is my view after my last visit at my agent. My uncertainty, if it was there at all, completely disappeared when I visited K+E on Wednesday. I had asked to have a look at the car...

    Some preliminary ideas for my build: * Light Bar on rack * Brake controller * Power for van * Side steps/rock sliders * Rok lights for roof rack * UHF & CelFi fold down Aerial mounts on roof rack (or on bull bar which is not a high priority at this point) Roll on Saturday so I can get my hands...

    Mercedes G Wagon Build stop from Q1 2024

    Local Area Thread Any Canadians receive a build date yet?

    It’s almost September and we have had no word from Ineos regarding our build date so we are two or three months behind. Why the delay?

    US Build date

    I just received the email in the US for my build date. Currently it says Q4 of 2023. So not to specific it it’s something. I would assume delivery is then by Feb ideally. Anyone else receive this today? My reservation was OCT 1 2021.

    Close of early reservations (Grenadier priority build window ) Friday midnight eastern

    Just a reminder for anyone sitting on the fence, the priority build window closes Friday night at midnight, and you don't even need a credit card this time which is a nice change. So any stragglers make sure you get in there with plenty of time, the last thing you want is to miss out if there is...

    Q&A Americas Will Ineos allow you to spec a heavier spring in your build than their build sheet generates.

    If I decide to not option either the side steps or rock sliders because I prefers an aftermarket solution, will Ineos allow us to request a heavier spring set up as if we did option either a side step or rock slider. That way, when we put on an after market side step or rock slider, the vehicle...

    Does anyone know - Possibly I overlooked it but will the suspension accept a 2.0 x 3.0 +“ lift and larger tires to accommodate clearing rutted back country areas? Is there anything in-work or existing that can be fitted, such as OME or another Defender or other accepting kit? Just planning...

    Unacceptable build quality issues on delivery?

    Hi All. I hope this is a small thread. Now that we are getting deliveries across the board, I was wondering if we could have a conversation about what issues forum members are noticing on their cars at the time of delivery. This will help all of us check our vehicles for these potential issues...
