What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[landmannnn]

A wee bit pedantic aren't we? It's OK. Enjoy the rain.

The Ineos Grenadier is a British-designed and engineered vehicle, but it is manufactured in Hambach, France, and uses BMW powertrains. The project was conceived in London, and the company has its headquarters there, but the vehicle's production facility is located in France.

• Country of Origin:
  The vehicle's parent company, INEOS Automotive, is British, and the design was driven by British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Sorry, I forgot point 4 and 5

4. Pedantry comes as standard
5. Wipers get turned on in October and left on until September. Unless they are Lucas, then we take a bus.

They all do here. Likely to make sure we get that tax that always ends in 9/10s of a penny. Seriously.

You'd be someone who always shakes off the drips?

Only twice

Sorry, he is not being pedantic enough!
It was engineered in Germany, with the initial work by MB Tech and latterly by Magna. The shape is arguably British!

Are Lucas making the Ineos wipers ? Because mine are on permanently and won’t turn off.

Installed Koni Raid dampers in my driveway. Rears were a little annoying to install, but ultimately pretty simple, about two hours total, doing it blind. Fronts were insanely simple, 15min each side. 2.5hrs total. Will test them out this weekend up in Tahoe.

Brand new they ride firmer than stock but rebound is WAY more controlled, but even in the few two hours, they’re starting to smooth out and break in some.

What are the shocks set at when installed?

Fuse FI03 is your friend to temporarily pause those pesky wipers.
Interior electrical centre. Under the seat. Near the main battery.

Installed one side. First try at a decal install. Went mostly well.

They were set full soft from the factory. I turned them a half turn firmer. Remains to be seen if I like the ride or if I’m gonna adjust them. (I’ll probably just leave them like this and adjust when the shocks break in and need more rebound damping)

To further the pedanticism (if that’s not a word, you can be pedantic about that ) I thought Magna Styer was from Austria.

This all sounds about right, British come up with the perfect idea and design, it's the pesky foreigners that mess it all up, typical

I installed a matching Ineos drivers side grab handle short after picking up my Trialmaster last July (‘24) before the aftermarket had started producing them and well before most US dealers knew they were available.

It did the job, it was OEM, but it was pricey (prices early on were nutty for the bolt hole covers). It was good, but not great. The fit changed depending on the weather, there are foam inserts on the OEM handles that helped improve the fitment until the matching grey color turned brown.

I ran into these recently online and despite not having actual installed images on their website seemed a worthy addition. These are from Racefoxx and made in Germany. They are cast aluminum, cnc machined, and blasted smooth.

Shipping weight was a bit over 7 pounds so they come in at 3.5 pounds each. They attach with the original hardware which becomes invisible when installed.

Today I installed a 270w semi flexible solar panel to the roof of my Alucab Silenus roof conversion on my Grenadier, along with a Victron 100/20 mppt controller.
