What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Davman]

Man, I need to get some better neighbours.

 

[bemax]

Because I don’t have my IG yet, I’ve had to be content with helping my neighbour sail his catamaran from the Gold Coast to Yeppoon in central Qld.
We will be gone for about 8-9 days and the weather promises to be sensational.
I’ll have reception from time to time along the way, so look forward to seeing who else has received their IG and taken it for a drive.
@DaveB we’ll be sailing past your place around Monday so will wave on the way past.View attachment 7812552View attachment 7812549View attachment 7812552View attachment 7812548

Oh you poor man! I hope that at least something positive happens to you in near future, as there is obviously nothig but hard work in front of you! Have fun!

How hard was it to do ? Is there much panelling to remove ?

Pics? Write up? Do tell!!!

 

[Shaky]

I looked up the price of your new cameras….wow.

Do they come with a free lawyer to see through the conviction of any offenders recorded

Nice bits of kit though and when I did red up, after my initial shock at the price they are a bit more than just traffic cams.

 

[Arkaig]

Couldn't be bothered with pics whilst underway, needed a clear head to think through as being far more important. It's fiddly but perfectly straight-forward/doable especially as Blackvue include a panel prytool in the kit.

Dude, you’re on a forum! We need details, lots of details. ‘Couldn’t be bothered’ just ain’t gonna fly around these parts.

Take it all off. Start again and take pictures. Simple creatures need pictures

Nice install btw

 

[MACS]

Did not do very much with the IG today. Just started to prepare the trailer behind the IG.

 

[Jean Mercier]

Could have reached my son's place tonight, but decided to stop earlier, Slovakia camping 🏕 where I stayed once in the past, with restaurant

Today ordinary roads, no motorway. When crossing the border between Czechia and Slovakia my phone disconnected again, like yesterday, therefore probably an Android Auto problem!

And sometimes technology is too much for me: error message on my Grenadier
"Washer fluid low"
Should I be scared? Should I cross a river in wading mode with the cap open? Will the car stop once the washer fluid tank is empty? I want to scream ... perhaps this will solve my problem.

 

[Skydance]

Today I noticed the bonnet of the car is made from plastic and it has an old fashion prop. I guess it keeps the weight down. Also the rear corners of the bumpers are metal. Pleasantly surprised and in keeping with the whole ethos. The front windscreen is a bug magnet. I’ve mastered getting to the grenadier now, one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the door handle. I love sitting on the front bumper, just the correct height. The side steps aren’t very wide so need to get used to them with muddy boots. But definitely need side steps unless you have legs as long as a giraffe.

Actually it might just be the network disconnecting as it changes to a different carrier as it changes county. There should be a roaming option within the phones setting to allow it to change automatically.

Android is the devils work. Everyone knows that

WOW, That's a fair consolation!

Good neighbor!

 

[emax]

It only just touches and “brushed the dust” off the bars. No damage to the Gren or structure.

Wait until your fuel tank is empty ...
