Hill Climb Comparison

[Michael H.]

On a day trip exploring the Marrangaroo National Park with Simmo's Offroad Tours, I was able to compare the Grenadier's performance with some other vehicles, as we attempted a couple of challenging hill climbs. The Grenadier made the climbs look easy, with less wheel spin and wheel lift compared to the other vehicles.

Well driven Michael!

What did the 200 series drivers think?

New use (to me) for the L track, mount a Go Pro!

What’s with the running boards? I mean they’re all gussied up with winch bumpers and what not and then they go off roading with running boards.

Looks to me like you took a proper line and the others did not

That may have had something to do with it.

Were you able to walk it beforehand?

I was Tailend Charlie, and the other drivers were a little surprised when I came up at a walking pace rather than “sending it”. The traction control on the Toyotas worked well, but I prefer a more sedate pace.

The GoPro mount comes from 67 Designs. It only fits on the lower L track mounts because of the plastic lip around the upper ones.

Perfect base for l-track / logistics track used in many van conversions.

I should have walked it, but none of us did. Our trip leader had done the track the week before, and I’d done it about a year ago.

Another great video Michael. Thank you for posting. As said above I think your line, certainly on one of them was superior. Viva la Gren.

Stock vs lifted specs - love it. The Gren on hills is very good out of the box.

Here is my first shot with a GoPro mounted on the airplane rail.The first few minutes were spent building the mount.

And if you like Bach, goto 6:40 ...
