Americas Ask the dealer - Mossy Grenadier Texas

[Norb-TX]

Mine is in Houston ready to go, but I can't make it until Friday. So, close, but not yet. Have the tow package.

Did we meet at the off-road test drive back in March? I talked to a gentleman from New Orleans at the event.

Harbor Freight has entered the chat…

What’s the international equivalent of Harbor Freight?

Was not me. I have come across a few people from New Orleans that have ordered are have been very interested. Haven't seen one in the city yet if there is one here.

In the UK I’d offer up Machine Mart for consideration. Almost guaranteed to break before you get your new tools to the workshop.

Well the wrench gave in before the Grenadier. Moral of the story - make sure your tools are as robust as this vehicle...

As much as we could use the funding, I now doubt HF or MM will be clamoring to sponsor the PODCAST.

That said, let's alienate similar stores from EU and Oz.

Hey now, Harbor Freight, gave 99% of us our start turning wrenches. Hate all you want on Harbor, but there isn’t a garage in the states, that doesn’t have a tool or two from them!!! Every dude in the realm, has a soft spot for Harbor Freight, and I am one of them!!!

I'm picking on HF in good jest because you're exactly right. Personally the only tools I've purchased from them was a set of chisels that were destined for destruction as I used them to knock rivets off an old Series II.

For the novice mechanic, like me, Harbor Freight tools, especially their top line, has been nothing but great. Let’s get them to sponsor the forum!!!

@Bruce @FlyingTexan We were loosening a tie-rod for an alignment adjustment. Moving up to Snap-On.

Really impressive! I like that very much. Unfortunately, I'm unlikely to be able to visit due to the distance. Let us be part of the development.

Dealers, do you know what the manufacturing time is to complete a vehicle in the fancy factory from the time the chassis is placed at the beginning of the assembly line until the finished vehicle rolls off the other end?

Negative. However, I'll leave you with this gem - it only takes 300 seconds (5min) to slather the body frame with sealant before moving to the next phase, which involves the application of two base coats and a top coat. That's all I got.

If my assumptions that the far left is a bar area are true then I'm going to say you've created a beautiful masterpiece.

That write up on the production of the Grenadier is nothing short of impressive.

But there’s a member on here that would know. I’ll ask him…..
