Points for trying but no. Let's paint the exhaust yellow too while we're at it! This is what teenagers did to Chevy S-10 pickups in the south in the 90's.
Thoughts? Concerns?

I did a whole write-up on the Grenadier when I saw it in Feb in Seattle. Search the site and all your answers will be taken care of.

I read through that a while back. Great information, thank you. My order has been in for a while but I've never really given this truck the look it deserves. It was always my intention to drive it for a bit and flip it.

Now that I've spent some time going through their site and the configurator, I'm really starting to appreciate it.

While everyone else is building complex disposable computers-on-wheels, Ineos is building these trucks that will probably outlast all of us. Aside from the shifter and the weird center dash, it's also really kinda nice to look at.

Oh I could easily f**k off to the Grenadier forum as suggested. Maybe some day but I really don't think I'm the only one here who feels this way.

I’d take that over the Grenadier.

Sorry Allegedly, my comment was directed to the person asking about the diesel. I thought I pulled in the quotes. I am glad the info has been beneficial and I will be sharing my design on here soon.

No need to be sorry at all. The last bit of my comment was for nashvegas, should have specified.

I keep going back and forth on the white or mushroom. Here i built it on the Australian site so i can add the roo bar and the rear panel. I willbe requesting the rear panel when i place my order and a group of us are already talking about a group buy for the roo bar and if us does not allow it, the steel bumper.

Looks good. It's a pity it's just another RAI and not a snorkel.

I'm not sure on the roo-bar/brush guard. They look good but not enough big wild life round here for me to bother adding all that weight. Plenty of good colors to choose.

No fender checker plate? Rear panel is a good idea.

The INEOS is cool and everything, but not touching that first year model, of a new company, with limited non-existent dealer support, LOL.
I had the itch of a new off-roader, so I threw a winch on the Jeep, was an easy decision, especially after seeing that adding a comparable winch to the Defender is thousands of dollars! All in for this winch I have less than $1,200, including Maximus-3 winch base plate, made right here in Michigan!
