A bit off topic, but the german company Tibus is offering bolt-on-parts to convert existing axles to portalaxles.
They offer kits for different cars, from Jimny to G-Wagen. So later on, they will probably have something also for the Grenadier.
The lift is 100 - 125 millimeter.

Tread carefully here...have been many issues on the G-Wagen kits with this kit.

Great stuff emax! There is also a company here in Colorado that will install portal axles in your G-Wagen:

I believe Jay Couch is using Tibus portals...?

This definitely proves that Ineos has been providing vehicles for aftermarket development. My prediction is the Next big thing we will see is the AluCab conversion. I’ll be up to 150k in no time.

Great to see indeed!

The is an early video with the Alucab guys where they say they are working on roof conversions and accesorries
And someone in Africa made this prototype as well

Awesome!

I have been getting great service from Le Tech with my crazy questions. You can buy roof rack minus panels so the cross rails for little over 3k USD. They are quoting shipping 90 dollars flat rate but you have to pay 300 dollars for the shipping box, if I translated correctly. Ladder is about a 1k usd or 832 Euro. I also have attached the English version of the Grenadier brochure.

The more I look at the ladder/jerrycan combo, the more I want it.

@DCPU I'll probably be at LeTech in the next 2 weeks, should I bring you one? You would have to pick it up at a rest area on the M3 somewhere.

Thanks ~ that's very generous of you.

I'm still at the stage of lusting after it, but can't get over the hill of high cost. I need to either go back and take a run up at it, or find a route around.

Hi folks,

the price of the ladder ist arounf 830€ and the sliders are around 1.500€. Both prices exl. VAT. Had a nice talk to Mr. Kriso yesterday…

Nice. Did he happen to mention availability/costs for underbody protection?

I am most interested in getting that sorted out asap.

 

[Pat-Ard]

@ECrider Didn‘t asked that, since they are not in the broschure. For the ladder he said about four weeks and the slider six to eight weeks.

But I think I will talk to him again and I‘ll ask him…

Thank you Pat-Ard that would be much appreciated. I really like the look of their red bash plates.

Hi @ECrider ,

I asked Mr. Kriso about the under body protection and he said, that not offering such things at the moment. Where have you seen these parts? Maybe it was another supplier…

Thank you Pat-Ard. I must've got my apples confused with my oranges. There was a red plate for eother the transfer box or one of the diffs. It may have been Blacksheep then. Will have a look back at the medoa on here and advise.

Appreciate your follow up.

Excellent. I will send them an email.

LeTech were the first to make a transfer box for the IG. I don't know how it turned out, if it was cancelled as it was too weak in the beginning or if Tremec just build the transfer box after their (improved) design.

LeTech made a transfer case gearbox?? Or a skid plate for the transfer case gearbox?
I cannot imagine LeTech making an actual gearbox...

Has anyone confirmed that LeTech will ship to the United States? They were responsive to my emailed questions about their drawer system for the Gren but have ignored subsequent questions about shipping to the States.

 

[Pat-Ard]

@bmore_burnsy If you like I can ask Mr. Kriso the next time we write...
