What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Hi crashburn, I'll take one. Looks like shale blue, which will look great on my shale blue Grenaderi. DaBull

Hi @DaBull,

I would love to make them for you but my hands are not that steady.
It is more of a darker Eldoret blue.
I ordered a Sharpie blue which is a bit darker.

I had these extra fine paint pens that I used

As my hands were not that steady, I had to jot the areas needing paint. Takes a while but addicting/satisfying once you see the colors

After it dried, I cleaned up using a magic eraser over the paint spills.

Hi Crashburn, I was just kidding around with you, however thanks for the tip on how you colored yours in.
Looks great. Looks like a fun satisfying project. Thinking if I color the badge in, perhaps a clear non-yellowing coat of epoxy would finish it off and protect it from the elements. Great tip on using the magic eraser. DaBull

In anticipation of the imminent deliveries, what did you do with your Grenadier this weekend?

Tell the community and share the love, and pictures, lots of pictures.

This thread will remain locked until the first member tells me they have taken delivery.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER NO: 1
I realised I never posted the install of fire extinguisher No. 1.

Quick Fist make a variety of rubber clamps which can attach items to your cargo barrier or rear roof shelf. I used the 25-45mm version to affix the Firestryker fire extinguisher behind the driver’s seat.

I bought some small metal plates from the hardware (plate size varies depending on the clamp used), covered them in black fabric tape and used it to attach two rubber clamps to the cargo barrier.

The black fabric tape makes the metal plates hard to see and cushions the plates to protect the paint and the fabric stops any rattles with the cargo barrier. The 25-45mm clamp uses a single bolt to attach. However, there is hole in the bottom and the top of the Quick Fist clamp, where The Doc used black zip ties, so the clamp was secured in 3 locations. Black fabric tape was placed over the back to tidy up the look, after the image was taken.

Fridge platform finished; fridge installed in the Grenadier.

Lesson learned, do not use Chinese made tie down straps lying around, they fray and break. Go and find your good Aussie made tie down straps.

Is the fridge platform in lieu of the front passenger seat?

EDIT: Just read yr other post re. the fridge... so the seat remains but it's "occupied".
I wouldn't get approval for that mod.!

I ordered the ABNTR4x4 Rock Sliders today as well. I blame @wakeo for that Pictures of the sliders on his car here.

The only remaining things to decide are buying bashplates and whether or not I fit a Redarc gauge to monitor turbo boost and EGT.
