    Americas First post, and first modification to Grendel the Grenadier

    I'm a lifelong Jeep Wrangler owner who finally made the jump to INEOS, and I'm VERY pleased with my purchase. I was lucky to find a very lightly used fieldmaster with ALL the options I wanted at a great price. I have been blow away by the quality of this car. The pre-wiring for all the...

    First year service completed at RDS (they were fantastic)

    RDS is a 5 hour drive from home. Conveniently, I have to travel down there for work a few times a year. I set my appointment a month in advance. I dropped the Gren off last Monday, and picked up a loaner. They completed the 12mo service, warranty door seal replacement, fuel level software...

    First 1,000 miles...our 2024 Grenadier

    A little background... I own am a small boutique dealer in South Carolina. I specialize in G Wagons and all sorts of odd ball rigs. I had been eying an Ineos since they were first announced and considered ordering but ultimately held off. Fast forward to end of year and ready for something...

    Grenadier First service South Fl, US

    i Simply have no words. This is the way to destroy a company. the greed of a dealer is making me to consider selling the car. $1,470.00 for changing the axles and engine oils and rotate the tires? Seriously, who can afford that?

    Got to use my new winch to recover a truck today!

    Hi all, I installed the hidden GP factor winch last weekend. Went up to Reno Nevada to visit a friend and we decided to go out on a trail on Saturday. Lovely day, took a few pictures as I was driving (Rayban Meta works awesome for that). A few hours later we are near the paved road and we...

    First snow

    Got to enjoy some light snow this evening. Donner pass in northern California had chain control and decent snow up on top. Car drove well but my tires wasn't great. I have wrangler duratrac m+s but not the three peaks rating. And it was a bit slippery. I have ko2's on my steel rims, they would...

    Greetings from Boise!

    Hi Everyone, So stoked that I found this. Reddit was turning into a bunch of griping and annoying chatter. We are looking at grabbing our Grenadier next year. I have always been a Defender fan since I was a kid. My brother happened to mention the "Grenadier" to me and I was confused and...

    Trialmaster, 2000 miles first impression

    Hey all, have been reading this forum for the past year or so while I tried to decide if I wanted to take the chance on a new manufacturer. In the end, I decided to go with a Trialmaster, and got it in early July. The third day of ownership, a spring in the ignition broke and it would not start...

    Finally here! 100 Miles first impressions...

    Finally my turn for one of these threads! After patiently waiting almost a year to the day (ordered my Gren in November, 2023) my rig has made it home. Trialmaster, Shale Blue with White roof, Winch, Aux Battery, heated seats, Slick-Top (Safari Window Delete) The dealer offered me a $2K...

    First service @ KO Ineos

    I just dropped off my Grenadier for the first oil change at 7k miles. I've also asked them to troubleshoot 2 different vibrations and install the software update to fix the check engine light. I've had it since March '24 and my service indicator says it's due in 49 days. Must have been built...

    Couldn't find the thread on towing from way back, but wanted to share my experience. Picked up a used Ranger 621 in Tri Cities Wa. Towed her back to PDX/Vancouver at 65MPH. Was shocked how well Kunte1 did pulling a 5800GVW tandom axle trailer. Now to find hungry fish :) MPG Was still...

    First Service

    Had the First Service done today on my Fieldmaster. That’s 12,000 miles on her now!! Pricing not bad at £459- much cheaper than Landrover were on the Defender. Also had the door button modification done which should prevent the under my breath cursing when climbing out and shutting the door...

    First week- window tint all around

    Wife’s new ride replacing her 18+yo FJ Cruiser. Long story about how we picked this one up, but it all worked out. She is very happy. It’s her daily (but she doesn’t drive much, she walks to work) Seat covers and steps still owed by the dealer. Added Weathertech mats. Probably going to...

    First world problem...I want to go to the drive in movies and listen on the radio.

    Hi all I want to take my Grenadier on a road trip to the drive in. As a background to this discussion, there is a showing of "Blazing Saddles" at the local drive in cinema (about an hour out of Townsville) tonight. 50 years since it was made, apparently. Now I feel old. I am classified as a...

    Hey All - just wanted to drop a note saying I got my early first service for the Grenadier done in San Jose at a shop called Fast Lane European on Steven's Creek Blvd. Had good service there and they're open to doing more.

    First time here.

    Hello all. This is my first posting and I'd like to say up until 24 hrs ago, I'd never even heard of an Ineos. So I've spent several hours doing research and I've got say I have found the SUV I've been looking for! My only critique is no diesel engine or manual transmission option. Hopefully in...

    Hello everyone, I prepared myself mentally and logistically to run out of fuel, to be able to check several things: - How does the IG behaves when out of fuel, early signs, if there are any. - What is the real capacity of the fuel system. - How easy it is to get it back on track. This first...

    First 2000 KM

    Well, I now have 2000 KM on the clock! Picked my Grenadier up Monday in Mississauga Ontario, and drove it home to the East Coast of Canada. A few things of note, It drives like a military truck. The steering is deliberate. The truck really does have good manners at highway speeds. I don’t...

    First 100 Miles

    Hi All, I’m happy to report that I’ve officially picked up my Grenadier after nearly a 2.5 year wait, originally putting a deposit down in January 2022. What a wait! It’s a Fieldmaster, Donney Grey on Inky Black roof with lockers and some other options (hitch, side rails, etc). I’m already in...

    First 12 hours, two drives and 140 miles Impressions (1kmile, 3kmile 11-24 Update)

    Had a great handover at Red Noland with Rick Dymek and his whole crew inside the garage and in the office. Just some first impressions, in no partuicular order. Some may sound like complaints, but more along the lines of 'that's odd'. One problem, and one issue that I need to figure out so...

    First drive as an owner

    Took delivery of my Grenadier this morning. Shale blue trialmaster, premium sound package, pre wired for winch but sadly no winch up front and only a single battery, but I got the heavier springs for the winch. Also no utility belts but I got that on order. I had the dealer add the step bars. I...

    First impression 1.000km Offroad in Greece

    Our first impressions after 1,000 kilometres - off-road tour (Level 3+, RedRock Adventures Greece): - The ground clearance is not enough. Ground contact far too often. - The plastic radiator grille under the bumper in the underride guard is a joke. The first mud hole dented it, after that the...

    First Big Off Road Trip Completed - Thoughts on the Grenadier

    This past weekend I went down to the mountains in Virginia for a good bit of off roading (technically a couple forest service roads and a dedicated OHV/4x4 trail). The first day was driving on a "road" (called, varyingly, Skidmore Fork or Dunkle Hollow Road) from Switzer Lake to Flagpole Knob...
  33. C64_forever

    Picked up today! Got my first warning though....

    So let me be absolutely clear: the car is amazing. Drives solid, feels solid, it was love at first sight. Service at my dealer (Rusnak in Pasadena) was top notch. I started driving back from Pasadena into the Bay Area around 11am. Around noon, I got a "tyre pressure high" message, and a few...

    First impressions

    I bought this truck for my wife and picked it up last Thursday. She always wanted a "square" Land Rover (her terms). Of course, these were basically NANA. Plus, having had two LR Disco's in the past, I won't buy that brand again due to the lack of reliability. Anyway, I wanted to post some first...

    Americas First Weekend With The Grenadier

    This was my first full weekend with my new Grenadier. It is a Donny Grey Fieldmaster with the rough pack, dual auxiliary batteries and just about everything else. My verdict? We love it! My wife loves it, the daughter loves it and most of all, I do as well. It is easy to steer, easier to...

    Americas Dealer requiring 36 month First right of refusal to resell

    The first real time out and I got it stuck. Withlacoochee state Forest in central FL. But I am even more of a believer in the vehicle than before. It tackled anything i could see. I even told my girlfriend, the only thing I’m afraid of is a drop off under water I can’t see. And what stopped...

    First oil change

    How many miles to do the first oil change? The manual says at 12.000…. It seems a little to far for me. Usually, my other cars (land cruiser 200, G wagen) had a break in period and oil change at 1.000 miles. Thanks

I was more annoyed with the alarm...

    Americas First 200 miles in the Grenadier in Kansas

    Had my Grenadier shipped in from Chris at Red Noland in Colorado Springs who has been beyond excellent with communication and in getting these vehicles to us. Initial impression, I love it. It's quirky, it's got some "european" stuff to it that just adds to the character. I haven't come...

    Drove My First Grenadier Today!

    Well, I was lucky enough to get to drive a dealer model today, after already having placed an order sight unseen. But I took advantage of spending some time pawing around and got to take it for a spin. Love it. So great. Bang Up Job, Ineos. Can’t wait to pick mine up in March. That is all.

    Americas First impression
