Wearing any form of shoes is uncomfortable in my view. For me, I wear a thong (flip flop?) on the right foot and nothing on the left... it's the only bearable solution for driving more than 50km - again in my view.

In the reverse of Ronnies findings - I have had very little dust ingress to my Gren... less so than my 2018 Ranger used to collect abs or was pretty good. Cabin filter on inspection shows mostly road grim (dark) and even that is reasonably clean at present.

This seems like a much better solution than the Xspec side carriers, and for less money?? $2K for some side mounts and two 'jerry cans' for 30 liters of extra fuel? This solution gives you over twice the extra capacity, and while you need to figure shipping and installation, is almost $400 cheaper (with the AUS to US exchange currently). Seems like a no brainer to me...

And for 98% of owners (by my guesstimate) 4x20L jerries on the roofrack, emptying as you go is a simpler and massively cheaper option again. 😉

That plastic sump is why my first Grenadier-related purchase (before I even had the truck) was a skid plate to protect it.

The AUS NB1 Quartermaster Cab Chassis (base trim) Petrol has a kerb weight of 2,446kg & the Diesel has a kerb weight of 2,527kg both including 90% fuel tank & all other fluids at the correct level.
The total gross weight of both versions is 3,550kg
Higher trim levels do have a higher kerb weight. E.g. Trialmaster with dual battery, tow pack, additional wiring, RAI, KO2 tyres, diff locks, smooth pack, all adds approx. 100kg.
So with load capacity is 1,104 kg & 1,023 kg respectively with 81 litres of fuel.
Most manufacturers either don't include the fuel or don't state if it does or not when they quote a kerb weight.
So if you add a Norweld canopy & tray at 289 kg and the extras for Trialmaster spec at 100 kg that still leaves 700 kg & 625 kg respectively.
Logic says you would add an extended fuel tank at the same time.

⬆️ These boots are manufactured by White’s in Spokane, Washington. They’re called Logger Boots, or Smoke jumper boots. (I’ve spent 10 years of my life in them.) They’re popular with many Wildland firefighters and professional foresters in the Pacific Northwest. Living in Oz now, I haven’t seen a single set of Whites, Nicks, or the like. Not popular here.

I watch a Youtube channel regularly where he cuts shoes and boots apart to see what they are made of .
I have seen the boots you mention and can't believe how well they are made.
Way too heavy for me and I don't wear heels.
My main footwear is barefoot and mainly from Xero USA

I thought you were a John Lobbs fellow.
I had to google that the first time it was mentioned.

@DaveB
You’re correct, the boots are made for heavy use, and long hours. Plus they won’t melt when exposed to high temps on wildfires, but they also take considerable time to break in.
The heel is actually a feature, when working in mountainous terrain often off trail, walking down hill can be difficult, however by digging the heel into the soil and sliding down hill, one can effectively “ski” down with minimal exertion.

I’ve since hung up my whites and moved onto Meindel and Zamberlan trekking boots for more comfort.
Still need to get myself a set of blundstones for around the paddock 😁

I grew up going barefoot so much it would take me a month to get used to street shoes each fall when I returned to school. Even in light snow I'll only wear flip flops if I'm not going far. Plus I've got arches like the Brooklyn Bridge. You can drive a truck under my feet. High heeled work boots (Redwings, Georgia, etc) were miserable for me when I was in the trades because you always feel like you're walking down hill and jamming your toes into the front. Whites, Nicks, and maybe a few other brands (JK, Drew's, Wesco?) are quite different. They're hand built on lasts with very high arch supports so your weight is distributed evenly across the entire sole of your foot and lack the "sliding down hill" effect. They weigh a ton but are fantastic if you're on a shovel all day or carrying heavy loads in harsh uneven terrain. Driving a RHD Grenadier through the desert - not so much.
