Buzz Overland - Gutted Grenadier

[RyanT]

Any hi res pictures would be very helpfull especially around the rear load area please. Thanks

I would like a closer look at the transmission shifter console and how the transmission shift lever assembly is attached. Is there any excess wiring in the loom to alter the shifter position? Thank you.

Awesome Ryan. Interesting to see the vehicle stripped down like that.

Any of the 3D printer gang think they can improve on the lump of plastic in the middle of the vehicle.

I could never have imagined that wouldn't be simple sheet metal stamping. Must be an entire barrel of North Sea Brent in that thing.

@RyanT Hey Ryan any luck you guys will extend your rocks liters to the QM?

It's sort of depressing seeing how the sausage is made, once you dig into it. If it makes you feel any better, the glove box in a Beechcraft Bonanza is manufactured from the finest of cardboard, is around 400 bucks for a replacement box, and cannot be substituted per FAA. So, that milk crate look like a keeper to me.

Wow... the ADAS clicker bugged you THAT much?

The Drive train and Engine will all remain stock. The base vehicle is the Petrol variant. And yes, it will have a few mods and a tune. Nothing too wild as reliability is going to be critical for the events we are planning to enter.


This will be raced in stock class for the events we have planned, so we will be keeping the powertrain OEM to comply with the rules but also really to see what this vehicle is capable of and how much punishment it can take in relatively stock form.

Bucket list trip right there!

Ryan, is Ineos sponsoring any of this?

 

[Krabby]

Awesome photos - thanks for sharing. I'll speak with @Stu_Barnes and see if we can create a special gallery of everything you've taken.

Out of curiosity, have you inspected the flaps of the HVAC system?

Yes we certainly will be. We have a QM Chassis cab on order, which we have been told should be delivered to us by the end of May.

Love the work that Buzz are doing. I have the sliders and hopefully, in good time, the Eibach lift springs and possibly spacers. Also waiting to see what they come up with in relation to under chassis protection. Very keen to see how the Grenadier performs in competition. Also loving the stuff from SPP Industries as well as the 'Plug & Play' upgrades from Car & Audio. Some innovative stuff out there.

Oh wow... it looks like some of the interior fitment was not completed in the factory - SEND IT BACK UNDER WARRANTY!!
I wonder if this is what it takes to fix the RHD footwell intrusion!!

I thought they had just taken pictures of @Jean Mercier working on his Grenadier.

As a Detroit kid from a UAW auto worker family, I have to comment that I am impressed with the workmanship in the Grenadier.

 

[gtank]

Any close ups of the dash and what sits beneath the steering column? Looking for that ADAS module/speaker

 

[angstorms]

This is great work, love seeing the Skelton wiring, Ineos fitment is also very nice. It be interesting to know which wire are mirrored behind the driver on European and North American truck. aka swapped sides

I completely agree, for example curious if there are lock/ unlock on both sides. Cheers!

Any pics of the RHD driver foot well, with the intrusion, would be appreciated. Side on would be marvellous.

I’m still working out how to minimise its impact on me and somehow make more room for my left foot if possible, thanks.

 

[OGrid]

Btw great effort !

Outstanding images! Have you anything for the drivers footwell? I still have hope to be able to make a better left foot space by re-routing some of the cables and removing the thick padding/floor insert.

...Just noticed that OGrid has asked the same question before me!
