Thread: Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

I think driving sensibly also is important,and obviously a well sealed snorkle.Luck takes a part as well.

As said,any late model modern vehicle will be in trouble if forward motion stops in deep water crossings,no matter the brand.

I've had my D2 up to the wipers. I wasn't driving sensibly, this was in flood waters and I simply assumed the bridge was still there somewhere. Stoopid, I know. The trailer I had was floating and got pushed at right angle due to the flow. ( It was a vary long way to reverse the trailer, box trailers are a pig to reverse behind a D2, it was a long way to go around........ and a very short trip to drowning if it had gone wrong. Never forgotten how idiotic that was )

Bloody glad the thing kept going. Bow wave helped.

One year at Wombat we had a D2 TD5 stranded after a deep puddle with water in the ECU. He just dove in. Kyle ( Alien ) spent time helping, cleaning and drying and the car drove home. He might have had trouble seeing in the dark as the headlights were full of brown wet stuff.

The OKA's intake is about two metres off the ground. Course, If I took it that deep I'd need a snorkel as well. Thing leaks.

I searched the website and couldn't find a single photo , illustration or composite to show what this vehicle might even look like.

One assumes its going to look like a 90 , considering they are the only photos I could find.

Unless my search was too shallow, I have no idea of it's concept.

If I missed something I'd love someone to proffer a link.

The answer is not a hope in hell unless it is fitted with wings & other important aerodynamic bits & maybe a RR Jet engine & a decent ,otherwise it wouldn't move outside the shed. T i C.

Ronny Dahl on youtube has just taken delivery of a Grenadier for a long term (6 month) test run, hes also been given the green light to do any mods he likes to it.
Also watched some US based channels where they are giving them a suspension lift and wheel/tyre upgrades as well as custom winch bars.

If you think the Ineos is heavy, have a look at this.

Wonder what an all electric Ineos will weigh?

This is better -

Indeed. Not usually a fan of Mr Dahl. but yes.

I just say the vid next meridian expedition made (they are traveling oz right now with their defender). Catastrophic engine failure, that's a bummer. Anyway. They got picked up and hookup op with a land rover mechanic that arrived in... a grenadier.

Now that's a statement

Also, what a legend. That guy just picked them up off the road and helped out with initial fault seeking and put them up even. If all you ozzies are like that I think I can feel safe to break down

I'd rather not of course
