Build Thread The Fast Tractor Build

[Fast Tractor]

2024 Ineos Grenadier Trialmaster
This will focus on upgrades that enhance drivability, capability, or simply add to its style. While many upgrades are focused around performance off pavement, this is not what I'd consider an "Overland" specific build. I have a well equipped truck camper for life on the road and my grenadier is more of a day-tripper, or just an all around cool car for a daily driver.

I will use the list below as the master log of parts I've added after purchase. I will update it when/if things change. My posts that follow after this will demonstrate specific upgrades as we complete them and any feedback I'd like to share.

As of this original post (June 8, 2025) I have about 13,500 miles on my Grenadier. I am excited to compare my driving experiences with it stock to some of these upgrades to come.

Thanks!!

And the wrenches start to turn...

GP Factor Drop Down Table

This version has the cubby space behind the drop down table for small items. There is also a National Luna LED light. It has a button on the fixture to turn it on/off, change from white to red color, and also has a few stages to dim how bright it is. Solid upgrade and would highly recommend.

OWL Hood Release & OWL Rear Door Handle

I know the usefulness of this "upgrade" is debated but I have been super happy with it. It was a tactile enhancement for me as I thought the stock handles felt cheap for a vehicle of this caliber. Every time I grab the rear door handle it just feels nice and reminded of how much I enjoy this simple little improvement.

GP Factor Bull Bar
OWL Light Brackets
Baja Designs LP4's

GP Factor bull bar was a great addition and super simple install.

I am also quite pleased with the final result of the installation of the owl light brackets and the Baja Designs LP4 fixtures that replace the factory aux lamps. The brackets required a bit of "fiddling" to get them installed but once they are in, they are nice and solid. The low amperage back light portion of the LP4's is controlled on Aux Switch 1 in my overhead panel. I'll have to get photos, but combined with the parking lights it makes the front end looks pretty sharp. Then the higher amperage draw of the light being fully ON is controlled on Aux Switch 5 in my overhead panel. They are incredibly bright, don't bounce around, and is very convenient to be able to turn either option on/off so quickly and easily and/or without having to use my high beams. Really glad to have ditched the stock light fixtures.

GP Factor Checker Plates

Spend the time cleaning the surface before application. And also allow the VHB cure above 70 degrees with some weight applied on top of the plate for at least 24 hours. Have been on the truck for 6 months are are still rock solid!

Braid Wheels

Good lord these are beautiful.

• King Shocks
• King Steering Stabilizer

The improved stance along with the 35" tires really make this thing look great. It feels proportional without getting carried away - same way I feel about the AEV trucks. It definitely drives better than the stock suspension which I thought was pretty harsh over bumps or pot holes around town. I love the ride of kings - have them on several vehicles. I have about 4k miles under my belt with this current set up. Haven't needed to do the front driveshaft boot yet but expect that will be a given in the near future.

I would say that a suspension upgrade like this will also exacerbate certain characteristics while you are getting familiar with how it drives. I read a long while back in this forum that someone felt that the suspension upgrade they completed made the "sway" or body roll feel even worse. And I would somewhat agree with that, but only for the first few drives as you're getting to know the new suspension. First few drives out when you hit a corner at speed you'll notice the same body roll as before but almost feels like it continues rolling. Because I didn't know that "sweet spot" for where to expect the body roll to settle during a sharp turn I found myself letting off the accelerator or adjusting my steering - but it was just a learning curve. Once I figured out what to expect and it became second nature I find that I drive it no different that I did stock, and is just a better ride now.

That does look good on those talker tyres.
