There are some mounting bolts on the floor, and people have come up with a variety of brackets to use these. Mine is a steel SHS offcuts cut to suit:

Wiring is simple, as Ineos prewired this location for a compressor (Fuse 113).

There is also just enough room to fit an outlet and switch, tucked behind the seat support. I used the ARB mounting kit (slightly cut down) and a backing plate for strength. This gives access even when your backseat is packed with your partners essential luggage. Nice and tidy!

Yes, it does get warm if you use the compressor a lot. Probably not the best location if you are airing down and pumping your tyres up all the time, but not an issue for the infrequent user (such as myself). Or you can open the seat base up to provide ventilation… whatever works!

Another small piece of composite, attached to the back of the RAM mount I use for a tablet, and I had somewhere to mount the headset for my VHF as well:

Many of the little screws are just for show BUT you do have to take off this panel:

Then you will find two black screws to remove:

With them out the way the whole panel can be unclipped, nicely hinged at the front. Voila!

As most know, the Grenadier comes pre wired with several useful circuits for owners to play with. In the passenger (left) footwell there is one such pre-wired point. Switched by the INT 1 switch in the overhead panel, fuse 129, 10 amps.

You will find the wires looking like this, taped down with plastic inulated tips:

Wire up to a deutsch plug to future proof the connection:

Smilarly wire up your prefered USB sockets:

And there’s a little metal bracket you attach a longer bracket to (photo taken looking upwards):

And the end result looks like a bought one:

I couldn’t resist – so ordered one basic element (as I don’t need much carried on the roof), one MOLLE side rack, and one universal cannister rack from the good folk in Switzerland. In a short time they arrived. Beutifully packed but lacking instructions. Not a problem if your were brought up on Meccano!

Take the roof grab bars off, add the barckets (for both the roofrack and the side racks) and you’re off to good start.

Then everything screws together with nice stainless button head bolts…

Here I’ve installed the basic element as far back as it goes (for ease of access from the ladder). This is the Universal Carrier side unit. Which isn’t quite universal, as I had to make up the brackets to fit the ROTOPAX holders / handles. Nonetheless, it’s pretty flexible with what you can install.

The Black Sheep system does provide you with a lot more L-track to play with. The basic unit has L-track round the entire perimeter. So I used that for lights and the UHF antenna mount (just some steel bracket with a folding base mount). Plenty of mounting space left for cargo tie downs. The VHF antenna stayed on the roof grab bar (for now).

Both the MOLLE panel and the universal carrier are well designed, and with attachements to both the roof grab bar and the vehicles l-track cargo mounts seem very robust. Nothing mounted on the MOLLE yet, but I will try and mount my MaxTrax.

I’ll report back on how things go when we go and get dirty very shortly. By the way, ignore the door panels – they’re an experiment on having somewhere to put event stickers as well as protecting the doors off road!

I happen to like the simple elegance and speed of dynamic recoveries with a snatch strap. The tried and true way to attach the strap to the pulling vehicle is with a bow shackle, although soft shackles are certainly an option. I have always been told NEVER snatch using your tow ball, unless you want to see a towball flung at speed through someones windscreen (or head). Hence I slipped out the rather heavy (solid steel) standard Ineos towball from the Hayman Reece type receiver and slipped a Shackle Hitch from George 4×4 into place. Solid machined aluminium – so lighter than the steel towball but more than tough enough (20000kg breaking) to pull out anything I’d be game to try! Can be rotated so the shackle is horizontal or vertical. Just remember the bolt underneath (16mm head) that is there presumably to stop rattles. Useful note: the receiver is 140mm deep.

Always a good idea to zip tie everything in place too, so nothing shakes loose.

There are MANY options of hitch to choose from – including nice ones designed just for soft shackes.

Any number of light bar options are available if you have an roof rack. Here’s one on what looks like a Front Runner rack:

The Grenadier’s Safari Roof option provides some difficulties, as one does not need to get a suntan when driving at night! Black Sheep have a solution with an independent light bar sitting forward of the safari windows. Not yet released, but watch this space.

The Black Sheep concept vehicle also demontrates their new driving light option. From all reports the standard driving lights are effective. Not sure if I’m a fan of the new lights, but here’s the original and the Black Sheep concept next to each other:

The launch of production of the Grenadier occured at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2022. This year at Goodwood INEOS are bringing us the Quartermaster!

The All-New Grenadier Quartermaster is a double cab pick-up variant of the Grenadier, and will make its global debut on Thursday 13th July. Currently information is limmited, but here are some pre-release snaps:

Hey folks – this is the final solution for my internal bike rack. It worked out a treat.
The only downside is that my Road Bike needs the seat removed. My wife’s bike was fine and my Mountain Bike has a dropper seat post so no issue for that.
Another thing to note is that due to the stem on my bike being pretty long, I had to span the middle pillar of the rear door. So the hoods fit nicely into each of the window recesses (basically that spot for my bike (sliver one) is the only place it would work and still allow me to shut the doors – but who cares, it works!!).
Finally, for the MtB I had to swap out the other fork adapter and spin the mount 180. That bike is longer and I needed the extra space that is not taken up by the drop bars of the road bikes.
It is 100% solid and those bikes are going nowhere!
This is what you need…
1 – Loaded Bikes Rail (Short 1138mm length – I also needed to drill x2 6mm holes in this – see pics for where to do that)
2 – Loaded Bikes Fork Mounts (x2)
3 – M6 T-Track Adapter (you need to order M6 washers and nuts separately)
4 – Loctite Red Thread locker

Here’s one from France:

How about an Emergency Response vehicle:
