What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Removed the D-rings on both sides of the cargo area and installed a length of L-track that mounts with the correct bolts to the existing holes. Handy! I can send you the dimensions of the rail and the locations of the holes you need to add to it.

Looks smart, @Jeffrey Pretty good weight-bearing ability on those d-ring mounts? e.g. sheer strength?

I'm thinking of making a rear load shelf across the entire back at approximately that height, just below the windows.

The original Drings are secured with substantial 8mm Torx bolts into the threaded stud on the vehicle chassis. That's why I used them. I wouldn't hang a motorcycle from them but for interior uses and stabilization of gear, they will serve you well.
 
I put on an accessory rail for my cell phone, radio and gps. Using regular ram heads and ram mounts. Really stable.

I actually got the blue owl mount first but I did not like that mount. Can't put my finger on why not but I really didn't care for it.

I'll know in a couple of weeks if I like this or not...

I went with Custom Molle Panels/ Steel Crest.

I am configuring it. It is clean and looks good.

Who made yours?

Started to wash the vehicle with the pressure washer, giving it a power rinse first to get the dust off. Then whilst washing it found the rear drivers side window open. 🤨 Dehumidifier (in laundry mode) now on in the rear boot.

Been there. Once watched in slow motion as my DII - with both sunroofs open - moved along the car wash path. What an effing mess that was!
 
My Grenadier has had a day and a half with the dealer, (Chandlers of Belton), picking up some warranty snags, nothing major, but it will have to go back for an outer door seal, (the only one not already changed).

Jason, the After-Sales Manager says that someone who would normally have to go to Jardines in Colchester is bringing his Grenadier North and for the cost of a Jardine's service, is having his Grenadier serviced and treating himself and his wife to a night at Belton Grange and a tour of South Lincolnshire. Excellent plan!

May I humbly suggest they get Historic House membership and visit Grimesthorpe Castle, Belvoir Castle and Burghley House too. https://www.historichouses.org/join/, although they'll struggle to fit it all in. It gives them an excuse to come back again!

(Fun fact, I worked at the Colchester site back in the early '80s, when it was Lancasters, mainly PDIs on Porsche and Ferraris).

Decided to put on the pre cleaner. I'll use it for when I'm up in the black rock desert in eastern Nevada, also known as dust heaven... Just wanted to drive with it at home to make sure there are no issues with it.

Been out this evening marshalling / acting as a mobile road block for a local 6 mile race, the Whissendine 6ix. 300 runners around an undulating course where finishers and marshalls get a bottle of beer from the sponsor and a fancy glass.

Just the usual bolshie / unobservant / ignorant motorists and flat-earthers mouthing off about obstructing the King's Highway. Well you can - it's called a Temporary Highway Order, and to breach it is a road traffic offence. There's one motorist who is likely to be getting a NIP for being an impatient moron on various dash cams.

(For a certain someone, NIP = Notice of Intended Prosecution, a precursor for a trip to traffic court.)
