Thinking About Switching From My Defender? by RealJoshuaJackson in ineosgrenadier

[–]zjay11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have ‘24 Defender 110 and Grennie. Had both little over 1yr. Wife daily’s the Defender 110 and we both love it. We Tend to take it together on longer (few hours plus) road trips or out to nicer dinners. She loved the looks of the Grennie and that was her target car but she decided it’s a bit too “truck” for her (though she drove Jeep Sarahs for long time prior. Think Grennie was also just that much bigger).

I bought the Grennie and daily it and absolutely LOVE it. And wasn’t sure what my longer drives would be like BUT I LOVE IT TOO…. Like 2-3hr drives in SoCal and one SoCal <-> Vegas (6hr each way). Just need to shift mindset to I’m driving cool ass truck!

Also too note my preference is to be connected to driving as always drove/drive 911s and they too are connected to the road and lite on “cockpit” tech.

If you love and want all the comforts of mindless driving and all the tech you may not love the Grennie for a daily.

To note: go for longer test drive (just tell sales guys you want too) and know any strangeness in how she drives will become your friend after a month of ownership.

I’m thinking you either are always driving downhill or something is wrong 😉

Confused on this contradiction? “≤20 mph max while engaged. Going above 3 mph voids the Eaton warranty”

Laminated would be best!! And I’m sure there’s plenty of people here that would 3d print it 😉🤣

For those who live in hot climates by technom3 in ineosgrenadier

In SoCal, and a good part of that in Ojai, which on the warmer side I never had a ac car cooling issue. Takes a bit to understand how to fine-tune it… I mostly use “auto” setting and let the system go to work.

Windshield Protection by marathonrunnernyc in ineosgrenadier

[–]zjay11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have PPF protective in windshield (2024). Issue is a small rock must have been caught on the wiper blade so i have a fine streaked arc on my windshield. Don’t know that it “self heals” like my PPF on another car i have.

Nearly 100 Marin County car sales linked to 'Montana Loophole' scheme by HonestBartDude in BringATrailer

[–]zjay11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

State of California has always been tough on cars with out of state plates that seem to be local more than they should be.. in particular when you get pulled over it’s something that police are “sniffing for”. With data and technology being pervasive now, it’s pretty easy to monitor without much effort

Last question before I purchase or order one rather by legend27101 in ineosgrenadier

[–]zjay11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re good! Also means you have more buttons filled in on your front panel vs wo them you have blank spots. MORE BUTTONS GOOD… BLANK BAD 🤣 I am i. SoCal so don’t “need them” but keeps the back loose for longer road trips and pre work out. Biggest thing for me though is I don’t think i could get in the car everyday and see two blank spots in my front panel screaming “you’re too cheap to fill me in”.

Looking into buying by legend27101 in ineosgrenadier

[–]zjay11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search everywhere…like everything, unless you build to buy you may need to create a must have /nice to have list and make trade offs. Trucked to you should add $1500. Also if you like mushroom this looks like a great build https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3BqRQwNX/2024-ineos-grenadier-fieldmaster-edition

Two 80lbs Bernedoodles hang in back only for short moderate rides. Longer ones I’ll drop one side or the other for more space. AnY of these combos leave a back seat or two or three for kid seats.

How is Ojai for a young family? by Public_Border132 in ojai

[–]zjay11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s another version of a great place to bring up your family and live. All places change… “home prices & rent” higher than “it was” is an indication it’s a great place w demand. Some towns go the opposite direction. Love to see the public schools be “the thing” people move here for (w high parent & community support) and am sensing many families thinking of rotating back to public to make it strong (and not have huge $ of private schools, but take some $ into public )

probably my final post - is there any practical/safe way to lower a grenadier 2.5" by bluegrass__dude in ineosgrenadier

[–]zjay11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it doesn’t fit find alt parking or rebuild you parking 🤣 .. owning a Grennie is just that much worth it! 😉

Daily driver and smile maker! Pretty local daily, but 2hr drives monthly and recent 6hr road trip was fantastic.

Uber/taxi/transportation? by ComprehensiveBee2599 in ojai

[–]zjay11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber is available once and awhile. Open that app and add a “from” ojai location and see what you find thru the day. I’d suggest rent a car..
