Lots of photos PLEEEEEEASE
Yes, agreed. The only aspects I snapped that I’ve not seen elsewhere springs from considering where to best install a twin compressor… oh, and I did notice despite the other discussion on protruding bumpers, the bull bar as fitted is nicely tucked up. Let’s hope not so much that Skippy will halt forward progress.Was a PTO-2 at the 4WD show today, not a final production model as referenced in the Ineos email. Was still great to see the car in person for the first time though.
All the pictures previously posted in this forum have covered the PTO-2 quite well, thanks to all. Nothing to add to those.
The PTO-2 isn’t the final production testing vehicle configuration. There are two more vehicle release configs to come, the next vehicle config release (release timeframe unknown) sounds to me to be the closest config to what customer final production release will be, with changes to be incorporated post PTO-2.
OG.
Any ideas/thoughts on a possible air compressor location after today’s viewing?Yes, agreed.

Ineos rep also mentioned they’re lobbying for a solar input on the DC/DC module.
I was thinking to move the bottle jack into the spare wheel storage box so it isn't buried when needed. That would free up a large compartment which a compressor might fit in.Yes, agreed.

25kg I heard or read somewhereDoes anyone know if INEOS has indicated the weight of the Roo Bar ?
Dave thats a suggestion I made a couple of years ago, but also suggested that there needs to be some form of attachment to stop the jack rattling around in the spare wheel cavity. Without that you probably need to stuff in some form of groundsheet to bulk out the spare space.I was thinking to move the bottle jack into the spare wheel storage box so it isn't buried when needed.

That dark gray foam you can cut out to suit or expanding foam and black plastic.Dave thats a suggestion I made a couple of years ago, but also suggested that there needs to be some form of attachment to stop the jack rattling around in the spare wheel cavity.

You could use the space the bottle jack is in and the space in front of it. Might have to trim some plasticThe space where the jack is stowed seems a bit small for a compressor.
Maybe you can just install it across in front of the jack. Possibly on a holder with a fold-out hinge to get to the jack more easily.
This one (randomly picked) is only 190 x 96 x 142 mm.
I’m not usually a bull bar guy but I think that looks really well done. I saw in another thread that the US won’t get that bar so hopefully the after market will produce something equally good looking.Am I seeing that right ~ it looks like the reg plate is free to swing in the wind?

If that were the case, we could get them to incorporate some antenna base place mounting points on the top bar?I recall someone saying or writing (either on this forum or somewhere else) that the Grenadier Roo Bar (Bull bar) is manufactured by ARB.
I spoke with them in Melbourne some months ago and then they said they were not going to do anything ...that may have been a ploy.I’ve recently sent off a request to ARB regarding what accessories ARB will/may have available for the IG.
It was a general support query, not sent to any individual in ARB.
If any response of substance is provided by ARB I’ll update here. Not holding my breath, but as IG production is very close I might get a surprise.
