What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Visited Rowher Flat Off-Highway Vehicle Area (California) today and the Grenadier did not disappoint!

Somehow that stance reminds me of Superman, perhaps you need a red cape flying off the back. DaBull

Did an overnight shakedown trip to the South West wilderness area of Tasmania. Despite summer holiday season, when you go this remote there are few people. Mostly the ones hiking , or a couple of spots camping (tents , 4x4s , caravans)
Anyway , weather was awesome (it is often ferociously bad in this corner of Tassy) and we had a great couple of days , including a swim , with a faultless Grenadier and fully functional setup.
Petrol consumption was 14.6L/100km, not bad given RTT + hilly terrain

Very nice photos. Great landscape. I would love to see more.

My parents emigrated from green green England in 1970 when I was 8.
They and I had/have no regrets!
Though my wife and I always enjoy trips to the UK, Ireland and Europe.

Looks like a great setup. Even got the Coles bag and teapot along for the ride. Almost glamping.

I decided to make some simple roof storage in the rear. Bought a small elasticated, double layer, cargo net from Amazon. Gave it a bit more strength with some bungee cords and that's about it.....

View attachment 7813945

I removed the three headliner clips above the rear door. For future reference, these are one time use only. I then added an m6 rivnet, drilled a hole through the washer part of the original headliner fitting and reused it with a load ring. I did this for all three, because I wasn't sure how much tension it would need, but having finished, I could have left the centre fitting alone as I'm not using it.

Above the rear seats I removed the m6 allen head fittings and replaced with the load rings, then clipped the net into place. When my cargo barrier eventually arrives, I'll put the m6 allen head fittings back and clip the net to the cargo barrier.

Simple really, but works. It just unclips if I want to take it out. It does need the additional bungee cords, otherwise it sags.

Inspired by @Highwayman here’s my storage setup. A cargo net on each side and one on the floor for big bags (handy for the Big Shop but also useful for other situations). An organiser on the rear of the back seat with pockets for towrope, first aid kit, 12v tyre inflator etc etc, and a ceiling net (with a cosy blanket tucked above it).

Installed my Melville & Moon seat covers. I'm pleased with the fit.

GMT Master "Pepsi" from the seventys for me. Older than me and with a high sentimental value.

You and me both! I got my old man’s GMT from the 80’s

Great, have you links to those or sizes, roof net in particular. cheers

Roof net is this one (80x58cm) which is just about ideal. The others are random 70x50 and 80x60 nets I had laying around.

Nice addition!
Do the ceiling caps just pop out?
I had a pry with a trim removal tool but it seemed a bit stubborn.

Used up our first tank of gas in the local mountains. (SoCal) 14.5 mpg... wish the tank held more fuel, but no big deal

*Very* stubborn. Per the warning in Highwayman’s post, I also found them to be single-use. Which was fine as I tidied and drilled through mine anyway.

Hi Tazzieman, Thanks for sharing your trip and photos. I really like your camping drawer system. Who is the manufacturer and does the Coleman Camping Stove slide back under the refrigerator. DaBull
