What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Bobby Mac]

seems par for the course.... our regular postie was saying last week that they (Qld Aus. Post) are desperately short staffed and he's been taking extra shifts while he can before Uni begins late Feb. (he's a part time law student!!)

Finally Global Grenadier medallions arrived yesterday - 9 days US to Brisbane - 18 days for the last 50 odd kms! Apparently they had a trip to Darwin in the meantime.

Hopefully the medallions didn’t make you barf?

Hi Krabby, Are these the original ones or the ones that have been painted or enameled or the ones to fit where the compass goes? I have 2 of the original ones. If these are the painted or enameled ones, I will take one.
Thanks, DaBull

NO, very happy with medallions - just our crappy postal service - it’s enough to make anyone chuck up!

Still the original all metal engraved one. We're waiting on a sample of the painted ones before moving forward. There's a bit of a greater upfront cost on those and we need to make sure they're perfect before we can sell them.

did you get it back in?

Spoke to my dealer ( who is relatively local) and they had just done the one, but he said may not be as straightforward as putting the pin back in and may need new selector. So giving it to him to sort.

Picked up two oil filters and HT 12 coolant at the BMW dealer.

Weardale - snowblower out cutting through drifts today, pretty grim.

I dug out the INT1 wires which were taped so far down I had to remove the dead pedal. Had the dash half open at that point anyway so I cleaned up the Wolfbox wiring.

At the end I had an extra screw. Can't figure out where it went. Big guy like the one holding the bonnet lever. Will be opening it up at some point again to wire something in, so I'll save the exploration for another day.

Yes, there is one screw behind the lever itself, you only need to remove again the lever to see it if I remember well.

[EDITED] Found a picture I made in June last year, but as the trim is clipped, it doesn't matter:

I have one there but maybe it should be the long one making my extra one of the small ones. I think it goes into the bottom trim somewhere. The one I have is longer so it should affix to either the left wall or the floor.

Taped an tied the selector so pin stays put - I hope. Thanks to those who had flagged it's wandering ways

Easy and simple.

 

[Krabby]

I used a Velcro cable wrap. Hopefully an IA fix/more attractive alternative comes along.

Today I fitted a fire extinguisher in the passenger footwell.



It’s easily grabbed from the driver’s seat, and following a test fitting with my preferred passenger/navigator I can confirm it doesn’t impinge too badly on her personal space.



To fit it, I punched holes in the flooring and used bolts with washers behind the flooring to ensure the mount is nice and secure.

So "Adam" from NA had this happen on his drive from WA state across country back to the east Coast. He used a zip tie to keep it in place. I don't think the selector was replaced. Message him for more details.

I used black tubeless rim tape (for my fat bike wheels). It's thin, unobtrusive, and more than strong enough to keep the pin from coming out.

I also topped up my coolant in both reservoirs. My heat has worked fine, but yesterday I checked the coolant and found it just below MIN. Checking the owners manual it says to fix it up to MAX, which I did. I want to stay on top of this as many are posting heat and bleed issues.
