Preparing the Ineos Grenadier for the Outback Australia trip. 

A real shame you had to do all the electrics just make the trailer work as advertised, but a great job there. Looking forward to the trip report! Enjoy!

Thank you for the details. I bought my Grenadier partly because I wanted the option of the factory fitted auxiliary battery. Very interesting and disappointing that you had to also use a battery pack. I will contact Ineos and ask them how to fix this issue in the UK. Enjoy your trip and your Grenadier and safe travels.

Thanks. The details on the towing mods and the do35 pin were especially helpful. enjoy the trip

Great video again, all good tips for when mine comes, I do like your idea of wiring the NATO plug. Didn't know about the the DO35 hitch pin issue 🤔.

Thanks again for the helpful video. Im looking at getting the StoneStomper as you have for my IG. Can I ask what bar length you choose and which bar mount you optioned? What is the size of that gap between the rear bar and the StoneStomper and does that enable rocks to get flicked through? Cheers.

Those 30-30 can get you a decent feed.

Hi John, awesome set up and the videos are super helpful. Had my Trialmaster for about 8 weeks now. Love it...generally :-) Few issues including blowing up the towing module the first time I connected my race-car trailer - lights flickered and then went out and a rather nasty burning smell in the INEOS! Apparently INEOS wired the 13 pin plug differently to other European manufacturers (never had an issue with Audi, Porsche or BMW with same trailer). Wiring issues still continue but that's another story! Quick question - is your trailer set up for 24V power supply as my understanding was that NATO plug was 24V? Cheers Richard

Looks like your ready to go. You seem to have enough mechanical skill and money to make this work for you. Looking forward to hearing all the good and bad about how the Grenadier works for you.

Hi John, I am preparing mine in advance for an extended trip next year. I found that the 12 volt cig type outlet can be switched on for the fridge using the overhead switch marked Power. My van has everything powered from batteries and I intend to use the NATO plug in place of an Anderson plug. It will not be a problem on my setup to have the power interrupted as I don’t rely on it to run the fridge in the van. I may have to install a 50 amp fuse rather than the 350 amp one though as I don’t want to burn the van down if there is a fault. The Trialmaster setup is almost ideal for my setup. I am left looking for a solution for the radio aerial roof mounted and the rear view camera. Look forward to seeing you on the road.

In the future, I'd like to see an Aussie pack option, which includes compatible wiring etc.

Nice colour. Like a defender!!

0:42...........Try Bunnings or MITRE10.......

Thanks for posting this helpful video. When you switched to the 1 inch DO35 pin, did you need to drill a larger hole in the stock Grenadier tonque, or did you replace the tongue as well? Other AU owners have said that the hole in there stock Grenadier tonque was just a tad too small and needed to be drilled out larger to fit the 1 inch DO35 pin. Thanks.

Drive safe John hope you have a safe trip, your not fast enough... too late I spotted it,😂😂😂 your a very naughty boy🤣🤣🤣

Great feedback, thanks for the share! Enjoy the trip and looking forward to hearing how much you enjoy your lovely truck!

Enjoy your trip, stay safe. Looking forward to your feedback. I know the roads you'll be travelling on, a good test for the Grenadier. Enjoy Normanton, Karumba and Burketown and maybe Lawn Hill Gorge down to Mount Isa. You'll also drive past Burke & Wills monument to their last stop outside Normanton where they decided to turn back due to the mangroves preventing them to reach the coast. Stay safe. Enjoy.

Will you be driving through the Canning Stock Route? That would be the real test.

Have you got a video on the truck? I’m looking at buying one

Bon voyage.

Great vid. Any issues with hooking up the trailer in terms of the rear doors/wheel and the hitch? I doubt a TREG hitch would work with getting the pin in without having the rear doors open??

Looking sweet might go with the I Kamper myself, Still waiting for mine, good luck, Atb, from Steve near Chester England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 where the Roman's once lived.

Good luck 😮 I think the AOR will be fine but the car ????

Dude just found your channel .. nice. Landy owner here! Very excited!

A bit disappointing about the aux power and tow bar especially since I contacted my dealer about the tow bar saying that the NAS towbar listed is North American spec and would the tow bar confirm confirm to Aust standard and the answer was yes . I had a similar set up with the fridge battery in my freelander 2 using a thumper pack as there was no place for an aux battery

That handbrake needs adjusting leaver is too far up when applied.

Bon voyage! Looking forward to trip update👍

My first Grenadier sighting in the wild. Good luck on your trip!

Looking forward to see how IG goes as a tourer and tow vehicle in a real world test environment. Thanks for sharing

You could allways try silicon instead of the tape. Let it set and allgood

Lucky you , have a fantastic trip. I can't wait for the report

Looking forward to your trip reports and great video.

Looks Fab. Happy trails :)

I guess were taking ammo😂

Another great video. Surely you could have just connected your fridge to the consumers terminal on the 120S? Which is what I plan to do. I am adding the D250SE ($290 on sale at Kings, sorry) but only to add solar input capacity not to protect the starter battery which the 120S can already do.

Thks again John. If you get a chance could you measure the clearance required for the large rear door to open to 90 degrees, i.e, distance from the DO35 pin to maximum arc of the door swing. I suspect my jockey wheel on the Aframe will foul the door opening fully.

its the best looking one ive seen so far

What is your opinion the the headlights and the spot lights? Have a safe trip.

Nice truck mate,neat setup

Looking GOOD!

Lovely Ep and lovely set up, Hope you have a great trip we are heading the same way on the school holidays,
