What did you do with your Grenadier today?

ECrider · 2024-09-23T06:34:53+0100

Went racing and also found that the Buzz lightyear hinges take not only a tumbler of wine but also a pint!

Which race course do you go to @ECrider ??

Plumpton, drive into the middle from railway entrance and take a picnic.

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.

Not the big kid!

Can always spot the guys who launch boats , live near the sea or get sand in their cracks!

Nope, I’ve had the car 6 months and first time it’s been near the beach was this month.
The black coating?? seemed to rub off wherever the trailer coupling touched it the first time I put a trailer on it 4 months ago. That is now rusted. Probably just surface rust, but it’s the first time I’ve had that happen to a towball.

Again, probably surface rust, but still looks dodgy as on a new vehicle.

Is that an IA towball hitch? It looks aftermarket.

Australian version supplied by IA my friend.

The shiny ones are chromed, but use it enough and it chips off and rusts. But I see online you can upgrade to stainless chinesium for about 100 bucks

That towball looks so different than the one ia sells in North America. I've used mine a couple of times but I have none of the rust or issues you have.

Agreed, it looks awful. The one on my quad bike I bought for £10 looks much better.

Love the cup holder

OverlandGearGuy · 2024-09-23T17:31:13+0100

Got some Black Rhino Arsenal Wheel on the Grenadier, I think it gives a much different look.

ColoradoMike · 2024-09-23T17:35:26+0100

Well I added a tad bit of customization to highlight the Grenadier. Something pretty simple but we like the looks!

Did a wet install to make the letters align much better than dry. We matched the Lambda in the back with an American Flag but did not take pics of the install.

I had a small transport task last weekend in preparation for my 25th wedding anniversary. No problem.

Budweiser?

No Spaten?

This is the original Budweiser, not the fake one you have in the States ;-)

regarding Spaten:
You can't see what other crates are in the row behind...

Today I added the Leitner Side Kick Accessory Panels. They are well built and do no require a roof rack. Rotopax mounts are a direct bolt on.

Grip tape on the sliders (they are useable in soft shoes , not that I need to use the sliders (grab the gutter and leap in) , others might though). Also on the bottom 3 rungs of the ladder, which is otherwise very slippery when wet.
And installed the 270 awning. Still got enough clearance for my work car park

Hi, may I inquire what tape was used for the ladder steps?

I think Tazzieman posted Gorilla Grip somewhere else. AU Amazon link here. US Amazon would have it.

I have used skateboard non skid decking in the past…self adhesive and I would think that the stuff today is even better…good luck
