What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Fitted a wireless Android Auto adaptor

View attachment 7860147

Seems to work well, only £45. Plus a few pounds for a right angle usb to keep it tidy.

What is the advantage of this over the built-in Android Auto support?

UK models (MY23) didn't get built in wireless AA, only Car Play is wireless.

Just Got New Maxxis Tires and Eibach Lift, and took it out for a spin in the Uinta Mountains

What a Day

 

[Karearea]

I treated all wheel screws with Molykote 1000 (Thx to @AWo ), that in case of flat tire, I am able to remove.

I have some copper grease in toolkit, do you happen to know if this will be ok for same purpose on wheel nuts?

Hey, just wondering if you could supply a link to the track mounted steps that are in your lovely looking truck? Cheers

Cool thanks

 

[TahoeGren]

I picked it up
Thank you to Aren, Javier, Derek, and team at Rusnak. Grenadier was all ready to go and on display inside. Had great talks and also chatted with a potential owner.

Congratulation! Have fun with your Grenadier!

@Karearea the Molykote didn‘t change the tightening torque, normal copper grease will do it. The protection against corrosion will be the same.

I remember that post.

Wasn't Iveco part of that Santana group also?

Ha, I think he was mistaking the Grenadier for an IVECO Massif, who was made after IVECO bought over Santana. I had the same experience, someone asked me if I had bought an Iveco Massif. He had never heard of the Grenadier nor Ineos. And to admit, like with the old Defender, the Massive is a bit of a look alike.

Just bear in mind that the normal recommendation for wet torque settings Vs dry is that wet should be 25% less than dry.

I took mine in for some warranty work and was given this as a courtesy car

 

[rovie]

Today I went to see my other horses, which I have further away. You visit family who live further away from time to time too, or not?

I see it fits it that car parking space a treat

I checked the length, 5440mm, which now means some UK council car parks will fine you over 5mtr.
Also can't use local tip as its a pick-up. And, you can't use a commercial vehicle at the tip but not sure how the local staff would be able to tell when you can have blanked out rear widows on non commercial and windows on the commercial. They have made our local tip a one way but the area is so tight I have to reverse to get round and the cars behind aren't expecting it and are too close.
It's quieter than the normal Grenadier as it doesn't have the open cargo area and the ride is just as good, feels lighter and might corner better on the lower profile tyres. Nice vehicle, I now have to visit a mate tonight as he's always been a pick-up guy until he turned to the dark side on his last company vehicle and went electric, I haven't stopped taking the p**s since. He likes these and I'm trying to turn him back.
