We'll have to run some tests, but the Grenadier is already loaded down with the roof top tent, front steel bumper, and some interior storage. Personally, I think the factory brakes are ok on a stock Grenadier. It's when you start loading it up, and especially with a trailer that you should start thinking about safety options.

It's just dirt. The frame is wax coated from factory

it's an OE replacement. Shadowmarq has a leveling spacer kit available.

@@morevanever1311 Can this be used with the Eibach lift springs

No issues with my sprinter. I haven't heard any feedback from others about issues on new sprinters either.

The vans are a bit noisy already, but you can mitigate that with sound deadening material. I didn't really find a difference in road noise between the Toyo AT3s and RT Trails. Personally, I like the RT Trail tires better. Road noise isn't loud enough for me to notice compared to the wind noise of a roof rack (especially with lights up front). I think road noise significantly goes up with MT tires.

Will do.

Where can I find these spacers?

Looks great and so much more functional than the standard lights!

As if these Soy Boys would get off road at night? This is just for looks in the carpool lane.

BBK's aren't just for going fast. They help reduce brake fade or even failure on steep down grades when some of these vehicles have excessive loads or trailers.

These are so new, I'm don't know any dealers that have installed these yet. Look up JR Customs in TX. They are a dealer for Shadowmarq Industries.

We'll be doing more of that. We just came out with a plug'n'play wiring harness for the KC Grill Lights kit. I should have that up later this week.

Hi Chris, if you get the dually hubs you can switch your wheels the the REIKA super singles that are 17x8 all around. We fit 295/70/17 tires with just a minor modification to the front fender trim using the Terrawagen Mondo Mudguards. If you have a 2WD, you'll need to lift the van 2 inches to clear the tires. If you need P/N's let me know. We've done a few factory super single builds.

You should sell all that stuff and upgrade to King Shocks and Deaver leaf springs then. You'll also want to switch to super singles. Get the quality suspension components and you won't complain about your ride quality.

@morevanever1311 Upgrade? From VB air suspension to king shock and leaf spring? Do you know anything about suspension? Stop spreading wrong ideas.

They've been on since Feb this year (when they first came out). No issues at all. They are currently the largest shocks available for the 3500 Rear application. Again, built specifically for the 3500 chassis, not a random shock that was thrown in to make work. Combined with the Deaver leaf springs, the suspension setup is like butter, especially if you like stability on turns, and going faster on trails.

Not by us, but we know there are a few companies that are working on it.

@@morevanever1311 Cool - Thanks.

I have never used it, unless I drive manual. I can't remember the last time I've been in a situation where I've needed to pull that hand brake. We're looking into ways to keep that hand brake function, but it will take some time to R&D.

Yea we looked at that too. There a bracket behind the panel that's blocking access. We originally wanted to do flush mount FE1's, but there's not enough space for the light housing.

@@morevanever1311 - 😢😢🤦‍♂️😞

LOL. Honestly I love that you're hating so much. Go tell White Knuckle that their rock sliders are "fake". Good luck with that. haha

White Knuckle is the real deal no question about it.

100% stronger and better designed too.

@@morevanever1311 do we have comparison tests to back that up?

Yes. Currently on the Eibach 2.5 coils. We will be going down to 2" coils soon with our own design.

The Grenadier still has a lot of ground clearance with these rock sliders

The Grenadiers are not the G-wagons and Range Rovers you see today. They are purpose built. The demographic of buyers (for the most part) want to go offroad. Yes, I agree it would have been ideal to retain the hand brake, but the design from INEOS is one of the most out dated emergency hand brake systems, although I understand its for simplicity. There are ways to develop an alternative system, but it requires a lot of re-work on the braking system. Yes, of course INEOS designed a "capable" brake system. There's always better, and that's what this is. Upgrading the front brakes to a BBK is a viable option. You don't have to do the rear if you're not comfortable with eliminating the hand brake function.

Thanks. It's one way to stand out from the other Grenadiers

@@morevanever1311 We saw one at the British Auto Show in Safety Harbor. Then we went to test drive one. It was mostly a local drive, nothing on the interstate. Very impressive build quality, but I’ve heard many have AC issues-which is a big item in Florida. Wife loved it, but I think she might miss the amenities of the Denali at some point. Would be interested in seeking a low mileage used one in maybe 2026.

You prob cant tell from the video, but it matches.

@@morevanever1311 i’m not talking about the color. I’m talking about the texture. The grill has a bumpy rough texture. Those housings are smooth. It’s clear to see in all the video at HD Res….

wrong again LOL. They are nearly identical texture. send me your IG. I'll send you a picture of them so you won't stay up at night

Amber Lenses are an optional item. The FE4's come with clear lenses and a gold bezel ring from KC. There are black, blue, and red bezel options.

The red square looks like a bull bar? The title literally says what the video is about.

@@morevanever1311you show that turd whose boss

Thank you!

I believe there is a Quartermaster in the UK that has a set. Portals are awesome, but the price tag hurts

The German company LeTech has a great set.

Thanks! The other design configurations look good too.

Luckily I get to use it all 👍🏻

@mariusakelis8689 I've heard that argument before. I think it's misunderstood that just bc it's it on an "offroad" vehicle doesn't mean its not valuable on road. 80% of the journey is spent getting to the destination. Check Brembo, and other top BBK brands. Vents are the same

@@morevanever1311 i'm not saying it's not valuable, i'm just saying that slots not for cooling but for gas dissipation, gas which generates during hard and prolonged braking, which is not very relevant on such slow car even on the road. I'm just saying :) no offens :)

Agree. Vanes are back to front. Notice the stopping distance comparison? The guy's got two dicks.

You can always buy the front alone. Mall crawler.. I bet this rig has seen more miles on the dirt than yours. LOL

@@morevanever1311 how much do you want to bet? Put your money on the table. You’re quick to judge someone who you know nothing about. Let’s put some perspective for future readers. My vehicle has seen 50,000 miles in the last four years and it’s a dedicated expedition/overland rig. It does not leave its spot unless it’s on an adventure. It has completed the MABDR, NEBDR, SCAR, OOAT, Georgia Traverse, multiple trips out west, and countless trips to off-road parks. Yes all of this in the last 4 years. I assure you mine has seen more dirt than your Van.

@lsxfbodygen3 lol. You shot first buddy. Save your energy for FB

They didn't need to be extended apparently..

BBK's aren't only for speed. Glad you only race cars lol

to each their own..

Yea it's not applicable for every owner. Like I said in the video.. hills are far and few me. However, in places maybe like San Francisco where that whole city is hills, then the hand brake is used more frequently. Maybe the front is the only option.

Something to that effect is being installed on my Grenadier this past week, hoping it's the answer we are all looking for in regards to drive-shaft and CV issues.

I don't think suspension is the sole reason

@@morevanever1311 but man the majority of failures have been on lifted vehicles, while nothing else has been changed in the suspension and drivetrains. The rush to be lifted was...maybe hastened too much?

@@morevanever1311 and for the record, I know Eibach is a great product, it’s not the product creating the issue, vs the same product from another brand not creating the issue. It’s simply the application of ANY lift is most likely premature without consideration to what else needs to be changed at the same time.

yea I think 2.5" might be too aggressive. However, I haven't had any issues since installing the coils. I spent 4 days exploring UT Canyonlands without any problems. Regardless, we are developing shorter 2" lift coils. I think that will help with any concerns about the angles.

@@morevanever1311my rig is at MetalCloak now getting some prototype stuff installed that should help with all this too. I’m optimistic.

Yea for some it's not the right fit, but you can buy the front BBK separately and still gain better braking performance.

I agree with you but definitely wouldn't mind the front brakes!

​@@morevanever1311Is it better performance if the master cylinder dimensions are not changed?

⁠@@stevegreen101you sir win the question of the internet today. This is commonly overlooked! Answer is marginally but measurable. The system works as, well, a system. You indeed would need to address the master cylinder if you wanted optimum performance. You also need to address brake balance. This concept is common place in the racing industry.

@stevegreen101 the caliper piston bores are measured/designed accordingly to gain the most optimal performance

I'm suggesting that when it comes to offroad performance shocks, King Shocks does it better

⁠@@morevanever1311Intimating that Grenadier owners need to buy Kings is laughable at best….

@@Gnargoyle811 Nobody "needs" to do anything. People do what they want. King Shocks are a significant improvement over stock shocks. If you think otherwise, that's laughable...

@@morevanever1311 Predictably, you’ve missed the point, quite on purpose I might add.

No doubt the OE shocks will get warmer than remote res ones. But here’s the thing, if you are travelling in conditions where this will happen, i.e. long distances, at speed, on corrugations, you should have reduced air in your tyres and reduced speed relative to that. Both those factors will limit the impact on the shocks and there will be no advantage in the remote res. If you want to race, however, go to town on racing components. I’m not sure that many Grenadier buyers are planning to do that, though…

Definitely the suspension. The larger tires are better for offroad since they have more side wall and allow for more cushioning when you air down.

Some people don't care for performance and there's nothing wrong with that. However, there are people that want the finer things and should look at these shocks for their Ineos Grenadier 👍🏻

@jimdiamond8246 You’re not serious, right?

Send us an email at productinfo@shadowmarq.com and we'll help you find a shop in your area.

Yea I got that mixed up in the video. 😅

Hi, its called a Briidea Electronic Alternating Flasher Kit Relay. You can find it on Amazon. The KC Cyclone V2's are usually used as accent lights and rock lights, but I think they work great as chase lights when combined with the Baja Designs S2's. The dual amber kit is listed at $65.

Sweet. I'll check it out.

Thank you!

fortunately, I haven't experienced any of that. I forgot to mention that I have the eibach coils, but we are coming out with our own which will be 2" instead of the 2.5's I have now. When I was on stock coils for testing King Shocks, the 35s fit without rubbing.

Will do next time.
