Hi bigleonski, Glad to see you out getting around and having the misses escort you. Sometimes it just great to be a passenger in a Grenadier. DaBullGot chauffeured by the bride up to Toowoomba (2 hours on the road) to visit the inlaws, because the grenny needed to be driven after sitting in the carpark for a month (my knee replacement).
First time she has driven it.
She thinks it’s a truck. But she thought my lifted 200 sahara was a truck.
Driving on the highway - no problem, although need to “hold” the steering wheel more then the X3.
Parking and visibility - hopeless, can’t see out the back at all.
@trobex for you - the hump - she’s used to having the left leg stretched out, can’t understand why they did it, and if she’d been buying it she’d have said no during the test drive. Not really a problem, but definitely not a fan.
Me - got the pressure washer out and hosed off most of the mud that was all over it and had cacked the steps from our trip away a month ago. Not a wash, but windows are clean and Trousers don’t get coverrd in dirt as you get in it now. Happy to be back on the road in the grenny even if it was as a passenger. Toowoomba’s wind was bloody cold.
And a great photo too!

Hey Rob, another member put me onto your post. I tried to fit the Urban sidesteps at the weekend… not a chance, holes were 4-6mm out both sides.

Hi Jock,Hey Rob, another member put me onto your post. I tried to fit the Urban sidesteps at the weekend… not a chance, holes were 4-6mm out both sides.
Can you share how you made them fit? I tried some persuasion with a leather hammer (so as not to damage the powder coat) but not 1mm of movement.
They are so stiff I couldn’t get movement at all.
Any comments welcome.
Here’s my original post.
Thanks!
Hi Rob,
@MTNDOG directed me to your post.
I tried to fit the same steps this weekend, holes on the support arms were well out, around 4-6mm on both sides.
My son and I wrestled with them for over an hour, and I tried to convince them to move with a leather hammer, but absolutely no movement.
I've contacted Urban Automotive and they are looking into it, but say this is the first time they've had any issue.
Can you give me any tips on how you sorted it?
Here's the link to my post:
Urban Automotive Black Shadow Side Steps
I liked the look and proportions of these steps so ordered up a pair of the single bar variety. I went out to fit them this weekend, thinking four bolts would be an absolute POP and I'd be done in 20 mins. Unfortunately, when I offered the bar up, and put the M10 bolts loosely into the front...
Thanks a lot!
Jock
