Portals and 37s

I think better an original vehicle than a souped up offroad monster. These are my thoughts, because such a conversion does not increase the application possibilities for the normal user. It is merely a matter of posing.

Fair enough. Also if others like "monsters".
Got the point?? I guess no... Otherwise you wouldn't define what's the "normal user". The old German thing...

Live and let live. And I mean LIVE, not vegetate.
In a society that's so much forced-into-line to me everything and everybody that doesn't follow mainstream is something positive.

Yes, but all future Grenadier drivers will live under the same sun.

Suspension Kits and Body-Lift - a short story:
A good friend of mine once owned a Toyota Landcruiser J9, the short one. Original 1.75m high. He worked with suspension kit, with spacers, with body lift and bigger tires - at least his short Landcruiser became 25 cm higher - 2 meters!
He was very happy about it - but afterwards he got a new problem - now he always was afraid, that his Toyota could fall over, when he had to drive slant...
My own Toyota (with spare wheel and a tent on the roof) is only 1.70m wide (without mirrors) and now almost 2.50m high - okay, sometimes i´m afraid, too....

Thx for the link to emax's thread on LeTech.

I'll add another rig (G-Wagen) on portals and 38s, from a different supplier I have a relationship with...
THIS is going to be fun with the Grenadier!

Amazing! From emax’s (and a consensus) opinion this is a highly respected and admired shop. How much would this cost to do, once the development work has been validated? Asking for a friend, lol! Is this doubling the price of the vehicle? Maybe 30%?

On the Abenteuer Allrad show, a LeTech rep mumbled something around 40K Euros. That's nothings official, however.
