Ironically, it seems that the plastics on the inside of the Grenadier are far more malleable and easily removable than most lol. Ineos really did do a brilliant job of designing this thing to be bombproof.

What is the physical size of the bed? Do you get the same lighting options as you do in the new hercules roof conversion? Saw there was some carpet was that you guys or AluCab?

@ok4wd Ай бұрын

The bed is similar to a full from a width perspective, but longer. It is still a prototype, so in the video you may have noticed there was no lighting, but there will be in the final product, similar to the other roof conversions. The gray carpeting in the roof conversion is installed by Alu-Cab.

@michaelbowers5675 Ай бұрын

Where do you put all your gear if you need the space inside in order to be able to climb up into the tent? Love the bolt on winch though.

@ok4wd Ай бұрын

We are working on an interior layout that will provide tons of storage and an elevated surface to stand on, to make getting into the sleeping area easy.

We used Sika Flex on the rubber corner pieces that are found on the front corners of the drip rail. We did not use any to adhere the roof conversion to the roof.

We don't have the final dimensions on this topper but we did test total length with some of the taller guys (+6') at the shop and then had room to sleep across the tent.

@mattimeo18 Ай бұрын

Does the roof conversion not go all the way to the rear of the roof? It looks like there’s a small return to the original roof line just before the back door? That just looks really strange! Z

@ok4wd Ай бұрын

Correct, there is a bit of a gap just behind the tent to allow for properly sealing the roof from the elements.

Question tho : doesn't cutting the roof worsen the rigidity of the global frame ? (idk if that applies to ladder frame chassis)

@astrogreenarrow Ай бұрын

@ok4wd Ай бұрын

No structural parts of the vehicle are removed for the roof conversion installation. You do remove a cross beam that is designed to give the sheet metal more rigidity, but the roof is cut out so it is no longer needed.
