What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Tazzieman]

Petrol owners are lucky, the front fuel filter on the diesel is really exposed.

I'm sure someone could fab a plate to suit.
Got a picture of the location?

It is being worked on, not sure of the time frame - when it happens is the reality.

Lucky in that the fuel filter is not exposed but unlucky in that it will be a real pain when you do need to change the filter . Personally I’d rather have the filter and the pump outside of the tank in an accessible place.

I agree with accessible, but putting it in an accessible but vulnerable position is unhelpful.

Winch worked well, needed to use my snatch strap as an extension, lockers were engaged but were useless unfortunately , vegetation was sparce as you can see, but it worked fortunately as I was on my own and a long way from help

Installed the Agile Off-road ATS steering stabilizer. Took her out for a short drive. The steering seems slightly lighter. It may drift a little less on the highway and the return to center is slightly better.

Cheers.

Looks like a pretty sloppy track!

Yeah! They just opened all of the roads around it the day before. 200klms of mud holes mostly.

I came so close to buying one from Owl while I was there yesterday.

I will wait and see how the new setup works/ rides. Eibach 30mm and BFG KO2 285/75/R17.

I long ago bailed on the oversize and clumsy look of the Ram mounts. I now have the Peak Design magnetic charger/holder mounted on the front panel. So clean and much nicer.

How did you end up mounting it? I've been wanting to do the same with a PD charging mount.

Since I don't have the heated seats, I simply used the two sided tape to attach the mount to the panel. Then I ran the USB cable from the cubby box and up to the bottom of the magnetic charger phone mount. If you have the switches for the heated seats then you need to find another surface to mount it to.

Time for some KM3’s!
Those KO2’s become useless when in sticky mud.

KO's are definitely not good for this mud, but I'm not sure if MT's would be any better, here's my boots after bashing them out on the slider

Ahh, ok. Not having the heated seats would leave a great spot for the mount. I've got the heated seats so will need to find an alternative.

Today I finally got a Spydabot so time for a test run.
I've had my thermal monocular for quite awhile but when it's cold I needed something so I can shut the windows and put the heater on!
