He advised not wearing "boots" while driving an RHD model. Flats, thongs, and trainers were fine.

These are boots over here...

Wearing any form of shoes is uncomfortable in my view. For me, I wear a thong (flip flop?) on the right foot and nothing on the left... it's the only bearable solution for driving more than 50km - again in my view.

In the reverse of Ronnies findings - I have had very little dust ingress to my Gren... less so than my 2018 Ranger used to collect abs or was pretty good. Cabin filter on inspection shows mostly road grim (dark) and even that is reasonably clean at present.

This seems like a much better solution than the Xspec side carriers, and for less money?? $2K for some side mounts and two 'jerry cans' for 30 liters of extra fuel? This solution gives you over twice the extra capacity, and while you need to figure shipping and installation, is almost $400 cheaper (with the AUS to US exchange currently). Seems like a no brainer to me...

And for 98% of owners (by my guesstimate) 4x20L jerries on the roofrack, emptying as you go is a simpler and massively cheaper option again.

Probably on it's 3rd engine and 4th gearbox...

What's wrong with the Disco 3 gearbox? It's the same as in the IG, Audi, BMW, Grand Cherokee etc.

Nothing inherently wrong. But if it hits a rock, it has that plastic sump. Like the Ineos.

That plastic sump is why my first Grenadier-related purchase (before I even had the truck) was a skid plate to protect it.

The AUS NB1 Quartermaster Cab Chassis (base trim) Petrol has a kerb weight of 2,446kg & the Diesel has a kerb weight of 2,527kg both including 90% fuel tank & all other fluids at the correct level.
The total gross weight of both versions is 3,550kg
Higher trim levels do have a higher kerb weight. E.g. Trialmaster with dual battery, tow pack, additional wiring, RAI, KO2 tyres, diff locks, smooth pack, all adds approx. 100kg.
So with load capacity is 1,104 kg & 1,023 kg respectively with 81 litres of fuel.
Most manufacturers either don't include the fuel or don't state if it does or not when they quote a kerb weight.
So if you add a Norweld canopy & tray at 289 kg and the extras for Trialmaster spec at 100 kg that still leaves 700 kg & 625 kg respectively.
Logic says you would add an extended fuel tank at the same time.
