Grenadier Spotted

[WanderingSniper]

I went to an informational meeting at a new middle school for my son. I parked out on the field as the only Grenadier. As 500 cars filled up all the spaces a Magic Mushroom with a red frame, exactly like mine, pulled in next to me. Great to see another one! But there went the special feeling.

Shout out to the INIOS I followed from Ellis Beach to Clifton Beach. Was coming home from work in my 3 day old to me Quartermaster. Nice wave when you turned off.

Was out and about in Thomasville, GA this weekend in our Scottish white and saw another Scottish white as well as a Magic Mushroom. I believe both FL tags.

Which one of you is NODFNDR? Seen westbound on the 60 freeway around City of Industry today. I seem to see at least one Grenadier a day around LA lately. Sales have clearly picked up.

I saw a Eldoret Blue in Fraser, PA near the Home Depot this morning.

I also saw a Black one at the Sunoco in Malvern, PA but that was probably the dealers demo.

I saw a Black one at Malvern Prep in PA on Saturday morning.

Not sure if it was the same one as the one, I saw over the summer. Different license plate/frame.


Saw another this afternoon. Green or black on Route 202 in West Chester, PA.

Not the same one as this summer or morning.

I saw black? with white roof on Sproul Road in front of Cardinal O'Hara High School in Springfield, PA this morning.

When I got my IG, all the other cars in my family were white, so that was kind of out. Ironically, we had a 21 JLU that I tipped the scale for in white because I thought I’d never get my ‘93 Defender 100 NAS…. I do think the lighter shades look nice with the black contrast. My Donney Gray is good, but more easily confused with a Gwagen. The darker colors look ‘meaner’…

Funny enough, I watched the video on the Owl ARB compressor and the Ineos they used for an example had a full external roll cage... it got me wondering what it would look like in Scottish White with a white cage (a la NAS110). Did you get yourself one? (an NAS110, I mean)

I say "roll cage," but it's more of an exoskeleton roof rack:

Ah yes, the roof rack made to look like a roll cage... It was kindof cringe.

Most people love the look of the NAS 110 roll cage, but have no idea how much you have to cut up the Defender to install it. I don't think you'd be interested in performing that surgery on your Grenadier.

MM IG headed towards Denver from Boulder about 3:30 pm

Indeed... which is why I went with an internal 4-point Safety Devices cage in my 110. It preserved the aesthetics of the original shape. I had two NAS110s over the years and disassembled one cage to return it to white (the PO painted it black, which just didn't look 'right' to me). It was a fair bit of work just to deal with the parts I could readily see... there's plenty of hidden bracketry.

I forgot about the ARB air compressor. I’m thinking about that, probably first- but on the passenger side.

I never got a NAS 110. If I had a 5 car garage, I might have. Maybe someday.

Looking forward to people getting more modifications so we can just look and know who is who.

Agree about colors.....I also have Donny Gray and I have had folks ask if it is a Gwagen. I think Magic Mushroom is the most 'original' and unique Grenadier. And I also like how the black bits contrast with the lighter colors.
