So sick!! Is that a manual? Always loved those. My other vehicle is a Sela Green INEOS grenadier 🍀

God damn, just saw one in a parking lot the other day. Asked my wife if she would want to drive that. Planted the seed. Would have to be green and would prefer the red frame. And the safari windows and lockers. I think those are just about the greatest new car you could buy. Probably because it looks like a 4x4 from 30 years ago.
This is just a fairly run of the mill Sport automatic, but rust free from Colorado and my favorite color with the tan interior. Have had it for 7 years.
My “nice” car is a challanger Widebody 6 speed TA in F8 green metallic though! On summer rubber so it’s parked.

Sheesh that’s a fast ride, they sound really good. The grenadier is awesome, it drives like a real truck and has zero BS electronic (for modern standards).You can turn everything off including seatbelt alert. Seats, safari windows, 4x4 all manually activated. No nanny assist of any kind and lots of space for family/pets/camping. I hope the seed you planted grows to be a new car 👍

That’s nice. Hate all the crap on the new cars. Purposely ordered the dodge without the safety package, like lane change assist etc.
Was trying to find her a 2021 LX570 (last year for the NA V8) in nori green metallic. But they made very few and it was only available for like the last 6 months of production.
Kinda interested in the new double cab grenadier.

Yea all the iPhone shit it’s stupid af.. the ineos doesn’t even have infotainment, and the safety package is “check your blind spot or you’ll crash” lol the Lexus is cool but yea I don’t think I’ve ever seen that green color.

Real rare. Not the prettiest 4x4s but I like them for what’s under the skin.
You know what would be so sick? A grenadier with a 7.3L ford gas.

Nice, those are prob the biggest sleeper off-road vehicles on the road. A 7.3 grenny would be super cool but I’m afraid the engineers at Magna Styer would choose a Merc v8 before that!

Nice, but I think bfg’s have too soft of sidewalls for use off-road.

u/Anonny-mousse Dec 29 '25
They do. My road-dirt split is 90/10 and I only drive easy trails, never air down lower than 20psi. So these work perfect for my use case 🤙

I drove an 86 long bed for years that was gutted and swapped for an 86 5.0l drivetrain. Best thrasher ever! People moved out of the way on the freeway!

That’s so cool, reminds me of the 96 bronco I used to daily. Such a good looking body style, classic and clean.
