Popular 4WD avoids safety tech mandate
The 2025 Ineos Grenadier will be exempt from having car-to-car Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) fitted as standard, despite new Australian Design Rules (ADRs) mandating all new vehicles must be sold with the safety technology from March 1.

Still a lot cheaper than the big yank trucks, seen the price on those - some are over 300K :eek2:Quote:

That extra tank will make it an excellent tourer, did they need to modify the exhaust or fit a custom muffler box ?Quote:

The muffler deletion makes no discernible difference to the noise from the vehicle, in my case, the diesel variant.... It's still quiet. There's no "drone" at highway speed. There's a muffler, plus cat converter/dpf in the exhaust line to reduce the noise. Petrol versions are somewhat different and a replacement muffler may be needed when aux. tanks become available. I've got no info. on that at presentQuote:

We did it without a hoist, removed both rear wheels and with jack stands under the chassis rails, there was more than adequate room. I'd previously run the wiring from the dash console to the rear wheel well for switches, transfer pump etc which saved some time...but it's still a bit of challenge and took pretty much a full day.
Once completed, I had to get it inspected and a compliance plate was fitted to the vehicle to satisfy the Qld TMR Dept.
