Life is getting real and real fast! -- Received this notice today from Ineos our 'Queens Red' Trialmaster has arrived!
"Your Grenadier has arrived in the US, and has passed all the initial quality checks, which is great news."
Photo representative of ours which will have a shorter front bumper and a winch included.
2nd photo of 'Otis' & DSR at a dealer next to a demo Fieldmaster.
As to the future, will have to see if 'Otis' and the IG Trialmaster play nice in the stable.

Unrelated to the above, the dealer also had a Maserati Corse MC12 being worked on in their shop

Well 'Otis' sister 'Chelsea Tractor' also had a bit of a delay getting released from the Port of Tacoma. Pretty awesome that the ship 'Morning Chant' and Chelsea received an escort into port from a pod of Orca whales!
Our Ineos Grenadier has finally made it to Boise, ID for dealer prep. We expect to get our hand-over in the first part of January. After a short SE Oregon adventure on our trip home the shake down begins for much longer trips. 'Otis' is like a family member and will still be in the picture for now.

Going over all our gear and 'Otis' in preparation for hitting the trails this season.
Remembering all the fun we had last year!
Several places in mind, now to down select and do detailed trip planning
This weekend will be attending an off-road driving event at Dirtfish.

Where can one acquire this grille guard or is it custom made? I'm looking for one for my 2016 Porsche Cayenne Base. Thank you.

We had this custom made over a decade ago. Suggest finding a local shop that fabricates roll bars for track cars.
If you like this style as we do show them a photo. You may and probably should look at more than one place. We spend a lot of time traveling to remote places. This style bush bar has come in handy especially in the forest. If you note on the passenger side we have a provision to stab our Come-Up winch. Yes we have used it to help recover another persons rig. Our winch has also seen use being stabbed in the rear.
Also note that the front to rear skid plates tie into the bush bar up front. And the parking sensors are integrated into the bar.

Thanks for the response. There are some grille guards on the market, but they don't look as good or as substantial as yours. By the way, we live in Anchorage, Alaska, so can relate to your adventures up here in the Great White North! Thanks again!

If you are familiar with Jan Kalmar's adventures, we built 'Otis' as a tribute to his 'Zebra' with our spin on it. Jan has set speed records in his Cayenne diesel like the fastest time from the top of Norway to the tip of South Africa in less than nine days, drove the entire coastline of Australia and more with the same CD that is still doing adventures. His and our CDs are stock with only body protection added.

We both enjoy the north country especially in winter with less tourists and mosquitoes! Would highly recommend doing the ALCAN 5000 Time Speed Distance rally which has been run since 1984, we have done two 2016 & 2020. It starts near Seattle and takes a ~5,000+ mile route (one way) that changes each time. Hardest part is getting an entry as it fills up quickly, those on the wait list stand a good chance of getting in. 2025 will also have a run class for motorcycles.
2025 Alcan 5000 - September 2 to 11 - Kirkland WA to Whistler BC via Quesnel, Fort Nelson, Dawson, Valdez & Hyder. Like 2004 Alcan but longer!
Here is the web page - https://www.alcan5000.com/
Itinerary - https://www.alcan5000.com/2025Itinerary.html
Here is the entry form - https://www.alcan5000.com/pdf/2025EntryForm.pdf

Hope to see you at the start!
