this is correct - i'm just going to bookmark this video and whenever someone asks, I'm just URL slapping them.

f**k YEA!!! This is the best Grenadier video I have seen to date. When he said “the more I drive it, the more I love it” & “they built this for me, I want one”, I knew he got it, I just knew it! I have money, but not Sir Jim money. If I did have Sir Jim $$, you bet your ass I would send this man a free Grenadier. You can just tell his passion while driving and speaking about it. I feel bad when he said he just couldn’t afford one, but at least he is being honest about the review and everything. Unlike some of the non owners who only come on this forum to bash the brand and be negative every time they post. I never thought until now maybe it’s because they can’t afford one.

Regardless, thanks for posting this video, it made my day/week!!

Enjoyed his video. He does get it and that is how I feel about it.

I absolutely get what this guy was saying about the Gren. It is not the vehicle for everyone, but a vehicle for some, and those some will know when they jump into one and take it for a drive. I truly have fallen in love with mine, and look forward to driving it, every time I get in it. I dream about it at night sometimes too, visit this forum basically daily, and plot what next purchase to put on it. I'm even more excited to drive it now I've done a wheel alignment and centering, and the TPMS sensor issue is done. It feels gosh darn fantastic to drive!

My previous vehicle (an Amarok) never filled me with this kind of drive. Sure, it was comfy to drive, and had oodles of storage, and oodles of power, but I'd not ever considered using it's offroad capability, or go explore unknown tracks. I'd not considered upgrades. Sadly, it just became a vehicle that I never used the full capabilities of.

This Gren though has lit a fire up under my butt, and demands me to get out there and go visit places I'd long forgotten about, I'd not ever seen before, and that I wouldn't have dared think about attempting. I'm off on a trip down to Geelong, Victoria, Australia, from Sydney next week, so I'll drive down there in one day via the freeway. But then to get back home I'll spend 3 days driving back country roads, and maybe a dirt track or two in between.

Leave me alone! I'm supposed to be updating an ISO27001 document, and here I am, on a forum dreaming about a vehicle...

for professional interest:

did you have the caster marginally increased from the standard 2 degrees?

Trick question: 2 degrees is standard

Indeed 2 deg caster is the nominal standard setting. There are reports that increasing the caster to 2.5-3 deg brings a significant improvement in stability of tracking in the straight ahead steering position.

Okay, who is going to get stickers made up that say. "This thing is......Fucking Fantastic"

Yep.

Left Caster was +1.76, changed to +2.68
Right Caster was +1.81, changed to +2.5
Camber left and right changed 0.01
Left Toe was not changed, but Right Toe changed from +0.3mm to +0.9mm

The Gren tracks so much straighter, steering wheel seems to centre a bit more. I've also dropped tyre pressures to 36 or 37.

Going to 36 cold was a big improvement for me.

Boy I hope your Camber didn’t change!! Luckily .01 is just an error since camber is not adjustable in factory form.

And Toe is not adjustable from side to side. It’s one toe to win them all. That’s because it’s a solid axle with a tie rod.

Caster is also adjusted as one being a solid axle.

Anyways, dropping tire pressure certainly helps. I run about 30psi now but that’s with a non factory tires so….

Funny, I’m told these things steer perfect from the factory and nobody has legitimate complaints

Are you running 17” steelies or 18” alloys?
