Gave it a little wash since it seems to be a magnet for road salts

They also tend to be over generous with the salt north of the border. Don't know what Highland Council is like but down here they go OTT because of the logging routes have to be keep clear. We have a wood burning power station north of Lockerbie so those roads must be kept clear

Today I drove a long way on the motorway and then on country roads into the Oden Forest to look at a piece of woodland that is to be auctioned off there. When I got out of the Grenadier a couple of gentlemen asked me if that was the new Defender. I said yes, except that it's now called the Grenadier and is built by Ineos. Dark faces. They probably don't have that much contact with the real world in this area. But then we took the Grenadier for a spin through the forest. They were thrilled and I was proud. My Grenadier fulfils my expectations. I am happy and look forward to it every time I get on it. At the end of the appointment, they asked again what it was called. I explained to them that it wasn't a Land Rover Defender. You're more likely to find them in the urban jungle.

I jumped on FB marketplace last night and grabbed this kayak which had just been posted up.
Guy had it a year but family only used it twice. Cost him $1400 incl 3 seatbacks, 3 paddles, 3 jackets.
Cost us $500! Ooh I do love a bargain.
Should be great for our watery adventures.
I've ordered the Frontrunner roller as it's a fairly heavy boat , and as I intend to mount it the other way up , the various attachments catch on the rack lip.
We have an inflatable twin kayak , but it's a bit of a faff to set up , awkward to get in and out of - and there are no fishing rod holders.
Kids can have that one!

I think the rod holders are the Black flush mounted tubes...two up front and two in the stern? (y)

My wife and I do a walk from our car parked on a headland to the river mouth at the base of the headland in the distance, Mooloolaba Sunshine Coast Queensland. Great walk along the beach, a little more than 6klms round trip with a dip in the ocean bending conditions. We have been this morning and now ready to go back for the

I swapped my spare tyre to the front as I had scraped the sidewall on a rock or two. (just cosmetic damage).

Getting the wheel back on the spare wheel mount is quite an effort!

Effort because of the mount or just the weight of the wheel & tire?

I realised in my case that if I ever had to change it, it was going to be a 2 man job. At my age ( and fitness) I struggled getting a Disco 4 wheel from underneath and fitting to the wheel and putting the spare back underneath. I single handedly couldn't fit the Grenadier wheel back up. I have alloys, is that much lighter than the steels, I'll have to look in the manual and check.

I have the 17” steel wheels with BFG tyres and that’s 40kg. I’ve figured out a lifting method. I have the rhino rack and I hang a part of my hilift jack out over the back of the vehicle and ratchet strap in place, I have a mini block and tackle I attach to the protruding jack bar and hoist the wheel in place.
You could rig up something similar with a ratchet hoist.

Added White Knuckle Off-road rock sliders. I love the 20 degree angle up versus straight out. Build quality is top notch. They are heavy!! Two man job; or use a floor jack. I recommend to thread bolts slightly in the front mounting holes and then take out before install. Both sides were difficult to get bolts to bite. Great small company and great customer service.
