What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[IGL]

Yesterday we took another trip to the Palatinate and visited our friends in the picturesque Zellertal (Palatinate) to see their very young lambs - and our friends of course.

Finally swapped on my Method 706s!

We went on a quick holiday in Oak Creek Canyon, just outside of Sedona. Stayed in a tiny home for the 1st time (admittedly getting a little old to be climbing up/down a latter to a loft bed), and it was actually kinda fun for the couple of nights.

We spent some time exploring Sedona, and even managed to find a new spot we hadn’t seen before (we visit Sedona several times a year)

Hit the pub for a couple pints after the hike (this grenadier just makes we want to talk like an Englishman…...). We even parked behind an older Defender 110

Capped the trip off with an over-landing trip with the Arizona Land Rover Group. We hit the Casner Mountain trail which runs from Flagstaff, up and over Casner Mountain (6837’), and down in to Sedona. This is a locked trail, and the forest service only provides 20 access permits per year. We were fortunate enough to do it 2 years ago in our 2020 Defender with the LR group, so jumped at the chance to do it again; this time in the Grenny.

Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing. Those cottages are beautiful! How much per night - if you don't mind... Thanks so much!

Just watched the video. There is no going back after fitting those. Like the idea, but I can see a danger if they are used in anger - you may restrict door opening if they move. However, I do see the advantage of an inbuilt step combined with a rock-slider.

Just visited their website and some useful additions worth considering.

Just when I thought all my issues have been fixed and perfect. Orange engine light comes on and it won’t go away even after a couple of restarts. F**cking annoying having to goto the dealers again. Such inconvenience I’m beginning to doubt all these software issues. Now trying to disconnect the battery and see if that works!!!

Update. Rang dealer to book in with courtesy car. I was informed that the technician (only one person at this dealership) is on holiday for 2 weeks. Therefore had to wait. However, the technician is willing to put it on the diagnostic machine to briefly check tomorrow.

Whilst, I’m very grateful he could have a quick look (there and back 45 miles for me, nothing compared to some of you, I know). I’m still annoyed that Ineos don’t have the resources/support/dealerships to fully support these vehicles. I mean only one technician for this dealership. It’s crazy!!! So high hopes of getting parts or service swiftly without making several trips.

I did use a general OBD and comes up as P2OF2 catalyst efficiency below threshold Bank 2 and Googled it. It could something or nothing.

La vignette CRIT'Air (certificat qualité de l'air) est arrivée et a été collée directement sur le pare-brise. Plus rien (au niveau administratif ) ne s'oppose désormais à nos déplacements en France.

C'est dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de vignettes uniformes en Europe, à un moment donné le pare-brise devient trop petit.


The CRIT'Air sticker (air quality certificate) has arrived and has been stuck directly onto the windscreen. From now on, nothing stands in the way of our journeys in France (from an administrative point of view ).

It's a shame that there are no standardised stickers throughout Europe, because at some point the windscreen will become too small.


Die CRIT'Air Vignette (Umweltplakette) ist eingetroffen und wurde direkt an die Windschutzscheibe geklebt. Unseren Fahrten nach Frankreich steht jetzt nichts (verwaltungstechnisches ) mehr im Wege.

Es ist schade, dass es in Europa keine einheitlichen Plaketten gibt, irgendwann wird die Windschutzscheibe zu klein dafür.

Our Grenadier is 17,430km away, so we did the next best thing
And now we have the record for the most visits by Tasmanians in the past 12 months.

That is either a tiny beef welly or very large piece of broccoli

It's big!
For touring comfortably you'd really need the cab chassis and a canopy setup.
Well, I would.

Same size as last year, and plenty big enough for lunch. We'd walked 7km, and did another 8km back to our hotel.

Nice pictures. I guess I am going to have to remember to bring my $2 bills to put up.

Probably 90% of the notes are greenbacks.
The rest of the world doesn't use cash these days

Bittersweet weekend.... went to Gold country, up in the Sierra by Sierra City. Greanadier, was amazing, light trails felt like I was on the highway. Lots and lots of looks and compliments.

Sadly, my beloved German Shepherd died this weekend unexpectedly of a heart attack (most likely). I was with him until the end. He passed away comfortably on his pillow in the back of my Grenadier.

Hello, we love Sedona too. We have been there twice when we were travelling North and central Amerika 1 year, respectivly. In Sedona we spent roughly 3 weeks. In the Mc Donald we watched the election of Donald Trump in 2016. This year we will revisit this beautiful place on our 5 month trip again. May be at your election in November!
But on your picture of the poison ivy I can not see poison ivy. I see only brambles with their thorns. I can still remember poison ivy near a though moutain bike trail in Sedona.
As far as I can remember Bear Moutain trail was the most beautiful trail for us in Sedona. And don`t forget the old gold mine in Jerome. It`s an outstanding museum, even without the late owner!
Enjoy your Grenadier, Hans from Germany!
PS: We are travelling in our Ford Transit Nugget, not with our real Defender SW 110, this truck will go on Safari in Southern Afrika next year again! For 4-wheel drive trails in North Amerika, we will use our mountain bikes( Moab e.g.).
