WE HAVE THE SAME CARPET!!!

Initial thoughts oil change access?

When I contacted them about this issue, they said that there would be access. I’m not sure how, I don’t have a visual on it.,

The one thing that I’ve heard is that if your IG dies, the only way to put the IG into neutral, to flat tow it(?), you need to get under it and use a 13mm wrench?

If your battery is dead and you need Neutral for a tow or a roll or whatever, sounds like a 5mm hex socket and access underneath the truck is required. With the Grenadier's clearance (compared to any other ZF vehicle), hopefully this doesn't mean jacking it up.

It's such a common transmission that details are around the internet, but here's one article: How To Put The ZF 8-Speed In Neutral Using The Neutral Safety Switch Bypass

That I don’t think we’d have access to? Don’t know how much of an issue that is.
