The Grenadier Forum forum

A couple weeks ago I lost my infotainment system. At startup, the infotainment system would try (but fail) to boot itself up correctly. I would only have the left 1/3 part that displays the speed, RPMs, etc. The right side would display a message about keeping your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel (a la Jim Morrison), then go black. Then about every 5 minutes the infotainment system would reboot, progressing from the Grenadier splash screen to the condition above. Ad infinitum... Read more

I've run some Goose Gear floor/delete kits in previous Toyota/Lexus vehicles, so I am familiar with their product. I have a few GP Factor items on the truck now as well, and I am pleased with their design and attention to detail. For those running either system, why did you choose one over the other, and are you happy with your purchase?

Hi All I have had the intermittent warnings of Power Steering Error" for about a year. These used to clear when using the now recognised Grenadier usual method of turning the thing off, beating it with a birch branch for at least 10 minutes (other types of tree may work) and then restating it. Fine. The dealer claims to know nothing of it and as always claims I am the only one on the planet with this problem. However, at the weekend the steering failed, not error, failed. I could barely...

Morning ALL!! I have hated from day 1 the windshield condensation anytime the HVAC is on AUTO. I live in the Deep South and humidity is a constant. Constructed some lite aluminum covers covered in carbon fibre wrap that install over the windshield vents. Stops roughly 75% of airflow. Installed with a simple small square of "dum dum" so it can be easily removed in the Winter I also wanted the full length roof rack but also wanted to utilize my safari windows. I cut out the 4...

Anyone know if someone is working on some type of Functional scoop aka Ram Air "edit" or vents for the current hood? Had nanobanana mock these for me as I'm desperately trying to find a realistic way for us in hotter and more humid climates to naturally vent the engine bay, since this seems to be part of the issue plaguing the coolant and ac issues. Meaning the system could use a bit more help a releasing heat trapped under the hood that is pretty tightly sealed. These are very common and... Read more

Some thoughts on the 26 Power steering noise NONE Turning radius a little better for sure ADAS noise much more tolerable ADAS/Attention system and lane keeping Not pleasant. The lane keeping is far too aggressive The attention cameras go off for doing a shoulder check. Overall the incremental improvements are good but Ineos really can’t figure out how to implement safety features in a good way

Can anyone please help. In Melbourne, 3 weeks and 1800klm from home, my new petrol fieldmaster now won't start but continues to turns over even when the hand is removed from the ignition key . New years day, everything closed, going to see family, what with the aircon stuck on full heat and now this, it's trying my family's patience and raising deep concerns about our upcoming Simpson desert trek

We’ve had a 2025 IG for about a month now and it’s time to get busy with the mods. I had a well built Tacoma for about 8 years that we spent days traveling in and nights sleeping in. I had to sell it a few years ago to get a full sized diesel and we’ve missed exploring ever since. My son and I spent so much time running dirt roads and camping together. The wife has been through a bunch of vehicles in the past few years. When she started making noise about not liking her current car I... Read more

Hi all I'm in the process of stripping the rear interior panels of my 2025 RHD Fieldmaster (no inverter or high load Aux panel) to install some lights etc, and came across this connector behind the panelling, it had nothing connected and I was wondering what its purpose may be. Any ideas? In the second picture, the yellow circle is the connector I need identifying, the orange arrow points to the out of shot 12v "cigarette lighter" socket connector. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Matt

Third brake light has some condensation in it. Looking at replacing it, as it is slowly losing function. Will stay on for a couple of seconds while braking and then shut off with a loud zapping noise. Anyone know how to go about pulling the original off? I pulled the plastic cover from the interior rear door and there aren't any screws from the inside. Is this just adhesive mount? Any help is appreciated.

It took me far too long to figure this out, so I'm posting in case it helps someone else. Everyone throws "ET35" and "5.5 backspacing" around as if it's obvious, but it is not! The way it finally clicked for me is that offset is simply where the wheel mounts in relation to its own centre. Positive offset means the mounting face sits towards the outside, so the wheel tucks in. Negative offset means the mounting face is towards the inside, so the wheel sticks out. Most stuff on the road now... Read more

Well, decided to pull the plug and go for it! Had a great experience in Roswell, GA in the week preceding picking up the vehicle, and then at the dealership. Painless process. Drove a few hours back to Bham. Have really enjoyed this vehicle, at the very beginning of owning it. Was tremendously helpful reading input on the forum about various things, so I'd be more versed, and know some things to expect. This is not your 'usual' vehicle, by any means. The driving experience, on the road, to... Read more
