9th 10th August INEOS grenadier with Halliwell Jones

[rovie]

I suggest you consider configuring a rear door access ladder as being a simple alternative solution, or even using the exterior utility belt.

I don't like to tie them on the side. My Defender door did not take the hoofbeat so easily.
As I said, I'll wait until the Grenadier is in front of my door. I'll come up with a solution.

"There are up to 75,000 deer vehicle collisions each year in the UK, resulting in 400 to 700 human injuries and several human fatalities each year."

allegedly

Feck, that's some number!

 

[bemax]

I thought 75.000 was a heigh number and wanted to know whether there are as many here in Germany.
It looks like we have more than 230.000 accidents each year with deer and wild boars. That is a lot

My only vehicular interaction with a deer was in the Black Forest Region.

Two ran across the road in front of me, and I clipped the back legs of the second one. Sent him head over heels into the bushes on the opposite side of the road, and put crack in my splitter.

We are currently having a problem in my street with brush turkeys. Usually there is only 2-3 walking around. This year we have 8 and they walk along the road slowly in front of the car, or suddenly put their heads down and run across the road. Stupid creatures. Very large snakes are also starting to make an appearance as the weather warms up.

 

[Arkaig]

Are brush turkeys not bushtucker to you folks?

(Sorry, I think we're getting a bit off-topic!)

 

[DCPU]

Certainly having a brush turkey bar doesn't have the same ring to it as either a roo or bull bar.

Yuck. They would be tuff to eat. Pretty sure I would be in a world of trouble if I killed one. You have to be on a 40 acre property before you are allowed to start hunting. And no.......I don't think it is off topic for the forum just maybe for this thread.

 

[bemax]

In my opinion the topic is met as well!
Where have we been coming from?

I am getting older and have 2 metal knees so need the step to get up.

The side steps on the demo at the Game Fair seemed to work very well. I would definitely have struggled getting in without.

100% it's a little struggle with the rock sliders unless your fairly flexible or tall. I'm 6ft 2in and noticed how high the car sat getting in. Not a struggle but definitely something I'd be looking at if short or if you struggle getting your leg over as to say

 

[DaveB]

I figure I am about to turn 60 and not a gymnast or a ninja so the step will be handy now. As my intention is to keep the vehicle for 20+ years and I don't plan to start gymnastics or ninjutsu I am working on the theory that they will be more and more needed over the years

 

[grenadierboy]

Agree with you 100% DaveB.

I am 175cm and my 1983 G Wagen does not have side steps, so I always needed to place my right hand on the steering wheel to get a bit of a lift up to get in.

Getting into the Grenadier prototype last year with the side steps was much easier - so ordered this option.

And grandma shrinked to 155 cm. I guess I'll have to carry an addtional small step ladder for her. ;-)

Yes, the G wagon is too high for some. ;-)

My wife is only 151 cm so I am going to need a ramp for her.

DCPU,

All in the book and ready to ask for you!

Have I missed any answers you were able to get?

 

[Halliwell Jones Chester]

I think I managed to get answers to most, what was it you were thinking?

 

[DCPU]

The actual answers to those questions ~ are they posted up somewhere?
