- This one-off truck comes with a variety of aftermarket accessories.
- Many of the accessories fitted to this particular truck are covered by the INEOS factory warranty.
This is the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Kaiju, and it might be the ultimate version of the Defender-inspired British pickup truck. Unfortunately, it’s a one-off only and will only be used for various promotions across Australia over the next few months.
The special Grenadier Quartermaster’s name comes from the Japanese word for “giant creature” or “monster.” The truck has been modified with a number of accessories as the company works with many of the leading 4×4 accessories suppliers, including Stedi, Norweld, Rhino-Rack, Redarc, JMACX and BF Goodrich.

Norweld was asked to design a custom tray and canopy for Ineos. Made from lightweight aluminum, it includes a 40-liter (10.5-gallon) water tank, a 1,200mm (47.2-inch) rolling drawer with built-in table, and a 2-Pac paint finish to ensure it can handle even the toughest environments. There’s also a 130-liter (34-gallon) Bushman refrigerator and a bolt-on jerry can holder, perfect for long-term adventures in the wilderness.
Redarc installed a 2000W inverter and a 150Ah lithium battery rated for over 5000 cycles. A JMACX remote reservoir shock was also installed and offers 16 levels of adjustment. Maxtrax has added beach restoration kits and mounting kits, while Stedi has added a range of new lights. These include 4-inch floodlights, 4-inch spotlights, and 7.5-inch work lights. A 168-liter (44.3-gallon) remote fuel tank was also added.
Some accessories from INEOS round out the upgrades, including bull bars, rock sliders and checkers. Since the Kaiju is based on the Trailmaster version, it also comes with a snorkel, auxiliary battery, 17-inch steel wheels and access ladders.
While the Grenadier Munitions Monster will not be sold to customers, many of its parts can be ordered directly from suppliers. Interestingly, the factory-backed INEOS warranty covers many aftermarket accessories designed for its trucks.
“We wanted to work with some very innovative local accessories partners to create a truly unique Quartermaster,” said INEOS Automotive Regional Director Justin Hocebar. “The Quartermaster Cab Chassis is a ‘blank canvas’ ‘, with great versatility in terms of customization, so we worked with these project partners to unleash our imaginations. Ultimately, the ‘Monster Quartermaster’ expresses our Australian ‘Built For More’ vision.”
