Show us your mods.

Added a storage bag in the rear. It has Velcro strips that stick to the plastic trim and sticks it in place. Works really well. Time will tell on if it stays “stuck”. The tie down rings are still accessible. Bought it on Amazon for $70USD.

Also added a little pouch to the left of the steering wheel so I have a place to put my phone. I like the location. It’s also stuck in place with some adhesive Velcro strips. With Apple car play I can do all I need wirelessly with Siri. $30 bucks there….

Finally, blacked out the yellow airbag lights behind my wolfbox mirror with a piece of electrical tape. That costed $0 and is no longer a distraction :)
brilliant! i can't believe i didn't think of the electrical tape! thanks for the idea!
 
Hey all, thought I would post some photos of some of the mods I have added so far. Let me know what you think and happy to answer any questions.

My most favourite mod so far is the 270 awning closely followed by the bushmans upright fridge.

Hi Simon @Skrambo What Rhino Parts did you exactly use to mount the shovel? Did you use any the Rhino-Rack Stow-It clamps or some more? I really like the sideway mounting which allows you to grab any tool nicely and effortless.
 
No space in the boot, so fridge on the right back side with extra power supply.
Use the buckle, an old safety belt flap(?) and two straps to fix it on the door mounting point. Extra powersupply with switch.

I got sick of my Android cable catching in the centre box when closed, so I applied a 6mm saddle clamp with one screw so it can rotate and allow the cable to be removed if needed. Drill through plastic into metal ; the screw holds securely.

This is nothing revolutionary in regards to mods (been done by many on here) just figured Id share mine.

Sill Guard with Xpel

Using a heat gun and trim tool I was able to mold the Xpel material to the contour of the door sill and then trim it around the OME plastic guards. (Images taken a few days after install)

Ladder Rung Protection/Grip


I noticed some light surface scratches developing on the access door ladder rungs after a few trips up and down, so with the remaining Xpel material I gave them a bit of protection and added grip.

I've got a roll ready to go on mine 👍🏼
 
Having done a bit of research, I decided to purchase a throttle controller. Two favourites of which I found were from EVC and the one I opted for (DTUK Pedal Box pro). Managed a 15% discount by using code: PB1524 on www.diesel-performance.co.uk
Both EVC and DTUK offer 30 days money back guarantee, so if not happy, its going back. There are a couple of members on here who seem impressed with the EVC X version. Hopefully I will be happy with mine. I want to get rid of that flat spot when taking off from lights, round-a-bouts, etc.

Does the diesel go from nothing to what feels like 75% throttle just a little past tip in? I feel like the jump in throttle is worsened by the auto start stop. It's like the truck wakes up and then jumps to life, when I am only trying to pull away from a light.

Generally I am pretty happy with my throttle. Just that 'delay' from still. The Start/Stop, although quick enough, is not to my liking. I want to get into the habit of switching it off each time I start up the vehicle. Hopefully, the throttle controller will give better response when needed throughout the range.

I found my petrol Grenadier was a bit lively on the throttle at first and occasionally it still catches me out. I find if I just have the ball of my foot on the throttle I can miss judge it and over throttle but if I have the whole flat of my foot on the peddle then I can moderate OK. But that’s just me.

That is probably my issue as well.
 
Mine is diesel so likely a little more gentle on the uptake.
Part of my problem is that I just love driving it. That sound of the petrol engine when you give it some makes me smile. Definitely the best vehicle I’ve ever had. Any vehicle would have had some issues doing what I’ve done 🤔😂

I must admit, the sound of that petrol straight 6 was mighty tempting.

Measure 3 times , cut once.
Bunnings shopping list:
2x Alloy frame
2x 3 way connectors
2x 2 way connectors

That looks perfect to me. You combined shelf and partition grid! Exactly what I am looking for….. 🤔😉👍🏻
