I was thinking about installing a simple holder for my smartphone and CB radio. I still had a metal holder from my mountain bike, sturdy and good for the phone. Attached with a ball. I ordered a ball with a 4 mm screw hole for the phone and clamp holder. The photos explain it best. I shortened an M4 screw and glued it to the ball with high-strength Loctite. One ball is 15 mm and the other 16 mm (measured instead of 17 mm) from A. So one is chrome-plated and the other black.

Astoundingly simple.

And simplicity rocks. (y)

Did you ever figure out how to remove the plastic to see what is inside?

I haven't, although I swear I just read some other post recently, where someone did remove it - I think they said it just pulled the plastic housing straight down (towards the dash). But, you may want to do a search on the forum for this before attempting!

I've been working on a DIY pop up box tent. Almost done. Need to work on how to secure top loose (movable) box to bottom fixed (non-moving) box. Also excuse first collapse down with tent material finally screwed in so hopefully I'll get it down to a science soon. And figure a way to protect and cover the exposed bottom tent material. Which is cut from a Cartman 8mil tarp that ended up being pretty thin. May have to swap out after the maiden use.

Last weekend I installed sliding windows on both sides. These come from Explore Glazing in the Netherlands. Great quality, perfect fit and well made. If you follow the detailed instructions, assembly shouldn't be a problem for most people.

The hardest part was cutting out the original window panes. There definitely have to be two of you and you need patience! ... not only the cutting wire burned out several times! ;)

I let it dry for 3 days without moving the Granadier. You shouldn't even close the doors.

ideal for my purposes. Great for the dogs, or for sleeping in the car!

For the protective grille / Molle panel you have to drill the holes and cut the thread yourself. But shouldn't be a problem.

I have been thinking about ordering these, for the very same reason. dogs spend a lot of time back there and want to make sure they get the air they need. How have these held up? If you had it to do over again would you still have done this modification? I would be working with a local glass guy here that is a friend of mine to install, is it necessary to not move the Grenadier for the full 3 days? Sorry tons of questions. LOL thanks S

Just saw this. What screws did you use to replace the shorter original ones? I never found the right thread spacing.

With that chrome on the grill gone, it might work wrapping the white top and bottom of the grill as pic attached. It has been shown before by another forum member...I think it works well (y)

Hey mate, what did you use to dechrome the grill?

A DIY sleeping platform/storage solution ive been slowly working on over the past few weeks. Not finished yet, but coming along nicely, especially for not knowing much about woodworking before attempting this :LOL:

Next step is to build the drawer...

I like that! How long is the sleeping platform?
