I have been curious how many veteran Grenadier owners are in the U.S. and wanted to have a place to bring us together and discuss the vehicle, tell about our service history, etc.
To start off I was an early reservation holder, Sela Green Fieldmaster and am very happy with the truck so far. It is quirky at times for sure but no major problems.

Jimbo it would seem that the number of Veteran owners is limited! I am from Oklahoma and have seen one other Grenadier in Oklahoma…which happened to be the same color as mine…parked at a very small and remote museum. I am scouting the forum to find any Workshop or Rally near me to attend in 2025. Navy friend owns a Grenadier also and we are looking for somewhere to become more familiar with Grenadier as it is very different than what we have driven off road previously. Any ideas?

Apologies for gate crashing your group, but as a British military veteran, it might be good to reach across the pond.
I used to have some dealings with US Navy divers based at Holy Loch in Scotland. Also spent some time on the Algonquin back in the late 70’s. Also Nimitz in early 80’s when visiting Portsmouth, UK.
My experience is veterans worldwide have a strong bond.
I ordered my Grenadier very early and have owned for over 18 months. It was a successor to my old TD5 Defender and I love it.

Good to hear from you, I agree it is a small number. I will look for any workshop/rally. The North Texas owners just had a group get together to off roading. I missed it but it sounds like that was successful and I am sure they will have more in 2025. There are seval Grenadiers now in the DFW area. Happy New Year!

Thanks to all of you that have joined the group. I have changed the name to Veteran Grenadiesrs and hopefully more of us with this common experience can connect. Thanks @Cheshire cat

Greg here. Army. 87-96. If I remember correctly, during the last North Texas jaunt in Northwest OHV park, there were two Air Force vets who are now commercial pilots.
