What did you do with your Grenadier today?

The small event I attended at Cardon Park was hosted by Ineos themselves, and not the local dealer (who was there, but only to assist). The Ineos sales director told me it was a new initiative of 'pop up' events all round the country. A way of gaining recognition. Well subscribed by all accounts.

If it's well subscribed, probably won't get chance to have a go on the off road bit. Just got my NI number out ready!
I'm going to Yorkshire for the day (work) next week and was planning to try a coupe of green lanes on the 'way back', sadly the wife has the day off and is now going to come along too. So no green lanes
Had the appointment booked, went on TW2 to check the lanes then she announces that it's her day off

Jeff, in conjunction with Nigel, is looking at organising some green lane get togethers in North Wales.
I didn't get to meet Nigel but apparently, this is his speciality.

Not today, but went off road at Withlacoochee State Forest in Inverness, Florida last weekend. It's about 80 minutes west of Orlando.

Unfortunately, not the best photo as it was just my phone in bright sunlight. My first chance to get it into 4wd and a whole lot of pin stripes on my 2 week old car (which was always going to happen). Back beach Denmark western australia with the southern ocean in the background.

Its only a short 2km track, but its very soft fine sand for most of it. Low 2nd and 3rd with the rear locker in and the car walked straight through all the wombat holes, dune climbs climbs and the guy in the toyota who had rolled a tyre off the rim on a bend. I did ask if he needed help. I had dropped my tyres to 15psi. I've done the track previously in my defender and landcruiser 200 which both had lockers too and drove it similarly, if you drop your tyre pressures. I was really impressed with the car though and can't wait to try it out on some other tracks.

Installed the starlink mini on the bison gear roof rack. DVA cable and striker fab mount. Works excellent, anchored it into my roof rack with pre-drilled holes!

I used three washers for each m6 bolt as a poor man's standoff. Worked really great.

Really low, sits behind the low profile light bar.

I opted for the style with the apple tracker in it.

Looks great, how much height does this add above the roof platform?

i think maybe 3-4" or so. I can measure tomorrow once the rain stops.

Nice work on the stripes for such a new car.

Is that a Leitner rack all the way out in WA?

yeh it is the 3/4 Leitner. Not too expensive for shipping, as it packs pretty well.

Its a great rack, I do like the way you can move the cross bars around and add more if needed.

its super low profile and next to no wind noise.

My only complaint would be that the outer sections are about 20mm higher than the cross bars, so anything longer than the rack won't be supported in the middle.

The pieces on top are the Front Runner surf board racks. They must have caught a low hanging branch and gotten themselves pushed out of alignment.
