Ineos Grenadier Deep Dive | Part 2 

One of the better if not the best undercarriage reviews.

Ineos couldn’t have made an advertisement as compelling as this video … super well done, not just the vehicle, but also the video! ⭐️

Most in depth mechanical review of the Grenadier which I've come across to date. Cheers from OZ

Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about gets their hands on one! Us technical enthusiasts have been so deprived of walk throughs like this. Just subscribed and looking forward to the improvements you mentioned.

The video I was DYING for! Especially from a guy that GETS IT!!!

Phenomenal video. Best yet from anyone doing a real undercarriage analysis.

Top marks on this pragmatic deep dive. Impressive to see impact zone built into bumper winch area!

This is probably the best video out there that shows what the grenadier is all about: Mechanically sturdy and made to last (at least it seems that's the idea and only time will tell). I saw a lot of comments around about how expensive is and the lack of some accesories (none of them offroad related). This is what you pay for: Beefy parts. The drawback is weight and that's why I think they did not went with a thicker bumber also. Unless some weird Achilles heel that would be expensive to fix is found in the future, I reckon they will hold their value pretty well.

Best video of the IG yet! Can’t wait to see what y’all build!

Red Winches are actually machined in the UK out of billet aluminium, and they supply the Ministry of Defence in the UK. Apparently, they're rated according to SAE J706. The contactors are Albright, not Albion; Red Winches also supply these, which I retrofitted to my Warn M8274.

Must say if you bought one you'd actually feel like your getting good value for money not just the bare minimum like all other manufacturers. Very impressive engineering and bang for buck.

The axles are made by Carraro in Italy. They have made axles for John Deere tractors apparently.

As a former Gwagen owner of 15 years, I love these videos. Keep them coming!

So disappointed you didn’t say anything about the heated seats… There are no other channels that have done near the depth or quality of reviews on this vehicle. Very interested in what you come up with on extra fuel tank and raising that low fuel tank.

this was fun!! Great comprehensive summary that I haven't seen anywhere else. I am sure you are very confident about this vehicle now. Awesome!

Great stuff! I really appreciate that you are applying actual mechanical analysis. I expect your products will be highly functional, technically sound and well tested. Not more of the voodoo (front damper kits) and bullshit JC Whitney catalog fare that seems to be coming from other vendors. 👍

Best IG video I have seen so far

Not the video I was looking for but definitely the video I needed.

Red Winches are a UK company and made the winches in the UK. They are very active on the Ineos forum and discussed all their testing of the winch.

great video and i really appreciated the analysis. Best technical review of the ineos design tradeoffs so far.

Really great undercarriage review, much more depth than anything out there Lots of good, but some really WEIRD/BAD choices as well! A PLASTIC oil pan?! In a truck with big beefy steel components everywhere else?! Who thought that was a good idea?! And a steering dampener hanging that low and that exposed should NOT be 'par for the course' on a truck this expensive and this engineered for true off-road durability and performance - it looks like there was room to tuck it up higher! Those plastic rocker-panel skirts - they look like perfect traps for road dirt/salt/mud - those are rust pockets waiting to happen. Probably easy enough to throw out, anyway. Lastly, those unslotted read brakes definitely DO do a lot of work in a full-loaded adventure/overland rig, which is what this heavy beefy INEOS is geared towards. Thanks again for putting this up on the lift and taking us through it!

Excellent work, Cheers.

Awesome run through, I’m hanging for more

Subscribed because of how good this video was! Excellent tech detail!

Subscribed! Excellent review. I appreciate the attention to detail - it's good to see a review from people who know their stuff. This goes a long way to persuading me to hand over $80k for one of these - it's clear the money was spent on stuff that matters.

Geesh, making me lose me mind waiting on ours! thanks for such a great deep dive.

Yeah great vid,I've been wanting to look under mine on hoist.i got same color with roof rack,bull bar ,raised air intake,diff locks,tow bar etc,lv it.....fr Pete in Australia. Keep the vids coming

Hey! You’re the This Is Breslau Guy! Rad! 😎

The best undercarriage video on YT by an experienced CC. Outstanding job!

Wating Part 3 😊 top review

I would look to get the front corner bumpers beefed up to protect the two small radiators in the front. I've seen two videos where the corner was damaged taking out the radiator + pipework. Both cars needed towing to a workshop to get repaired.

Learned so much about the Grenadier that I had never heard or seen on the buffet of Grenadier YT vids. One big question Could you please explain more on the double cardan axel/hub joints. I’ve never seen these on a consumer vehicle and don’t understand the pros cons for articulation, power txfr, durability, serviceability, etc. Thanks for the professional insight.

Two big def fluid tanks fit up in the rear space.

The only complaint I hear is there is no return to centre steering

This guy just resurrected by faith on Ineos. Now if they can only take care of their stupid software niggles and give us a speedo behind steering wheel. That would be perfect.

Excellent mechanical assessment. I'm curious what impact a lift would have on the propshaft considering there aren't any uni joints and there's an increased prop shaft angle. Also how durable do you think the uni's are over a CV. Thanks for sharing

Can you double check the fan is a Spal on the coolant radiator in the front bumper right wing? Mine is a General Cab. Curious to see if they are changing suppliers/spec on these things as they go through the production cycle.

Love the review. Question - I plan to work on a set of jumper cables for my NATO plug - have you determined whether it will work or not, yet? If so, do you mind posting a video?

Have my eldoret blue on blue!!

When is part 3 coming out. Can’t wait.

Take a look at the transfer case cable as it passes the rear of the front drive shaft. My cable was not secured and was hanging down and hitting the hex head nuts on the coupling making a terrible noise. It has the potential to catch and pull the cable off. I caught it in time and was able to secure it. I asked on the forums and there are several people who had the same issue of the cable not being secured from the factory and hitting the drive shaft.

Shame the interior isn’t made as well. Lots cheap plastic internally ; no dash. Also just an FYI their factory rock slider rusts after a scratch

Is there a way to improve the turning circle without major changes?

‼️ Never seen a vlog on undercarriage ‼️ Interesting 🙏❤️ Love from Scotland ❤️🙏

Who is the MFR of the axles?

The more I see stuff about the Grenadier the more I like it. Just a shame it looks like a Chinese knockoff Defender🤷‍♂️

Wheel locks on an off road rig 😮

Is that a ball bearing in the rear axle housing? From the looks it's not a full float but a 3/4 float, still better than a semi float axle. Can you please post the spline counts of the axle and get a measurement on the diameter? My guess is that these will be close to dana 44's in strength and ring gear size. Finally some actual numbers on this truck and not just marketing bs.

What I'd like to know is how close is this underneath to a W-461? I have a theory that this is an upgraded G-wagon.

I would buy one today but Ineos does not and will not provide a technical service manual! I suppose when you break down in the outback you're just supposed to dial up service and they will come tow you 500 miles to the nearest dealer for service? Ridiculous!

One of the worst cars I’ve ever owned, the fir and finish is appalling, it’s way to heavy and gets stuck literally every time it sees mud, the width is a massive design fault as it won’t fit through farm gates! I owned mine for six month and sold it for a Landrover old school style.

Sir Radcliffe was supposedly walking through Carrara tractor parts factory for axles, stopped and said “I want those” after spotting them. Those suckers are beefy and should withstand abuse.

I have been impressed every time I get under the truck at the component quality. Great job going into detail on the underside and pointing out the components. I am looking forward to your future videos. We are running ours in the NORRA Mexican 1000 Safari class this month so will be able to get some insight.
