The Kaiju Quartermaster from INEOS has a strong local flavour with the option of a Norweld Elite Tray and Compact Deluxe Lite Canopy
INEOS Automotive wants its local operation to be noticed and has built a one-off special Grenadier Quartermaster Cab Chassis called the Kaiju Quartermaster that incorporates some of the leading Ute and off-road accessory suppliers.
The name, meaning a mythical ‘giant creature’ or ‘monster’, was chosen to convey the powerful capabilities of the Grenadier, and acknowledge local buyers’ interest in modified 4×4 vehicles.
The striking all-black Kaiju Quartermaster is based on the strong foundation of the Quartermaster Cab Chassis Ute, that is engineered to deliver a class-leading combination of off-road capability and load-carrying versatility for work and adventure.
The one-off Kaiju Quartermaster has been built with the expertise of some of the most innovative and reputable local third-party accessory suppliers, including Norweld, Rhino-Rack, Brown Davis, REDARC, JMACX, GME, BF Goodrich, MAXTRAX, and STEDI*.
With a fully blacked-out exterior and commanding presence, the Kaiju project has resulted in a unique off-roader that epitomises an iconic heavily modified Aussie 4×4 off-roader, while showcasing the infinite customisation possibilities available to Grenadier and Quartermaster customers.
Justin Hocevar, Regional Director, APAC at INEOS Automotive explained the philosophy behind the build, “We wanted to create a truly unique Quartermaster together with some incredibly innovative local engineering and accessory partners.
“The Quartermaster Cab Chassis is a ‘blank canvas’ that allows for great versatility when it comes to customisation, so together with these project partners, we let our imagination run wild.
“Ultimately, the Kaiju Quartermaster expresses our vision of Built For More,” Justin Hocevar concluded.
Equipment on the special build includes premium fitment options such as the popular Norweld Elite Tray and Compact Deluxe Lite Canopy, engineered to handle extreme conditions while being lightweight and designed with a gutter system and rubber seals to ensure dust and water resistance on the most extreme overlanding adventures.
The Kaiju Quartermaster is also fitted with the Brown Davis long range fuel tank #IG23A2 – tucked neatly behind the rear bumper, giving explorers the ultimate option for remote travel with a total of 168-litres on top of the factory 90-litre tank.
To provide unparalleled performance and enhanced protection, REDARC’s range of RS3 Pure Sine Wave Inverters, Alpha150 150A lithium battery and Manager Alpha50 have also been fitted, giving the Kaiju Quartermaster a complete battery management system for the most demanding recreational and off-grid energy needs.
And, as a further bonus, INEOS Automotive extends the vehicle’s warranty to cover select aftermarket components from official accessories partners when ordered through retailers.
This additional coverage provides customers with cast-iron peace of mind even when customising their Grenadier or Quartermaster to suit their own particular needs.
The Kaiju Quartermaster will be seen utilised across events and for promotional purposes over the next few months.
