What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Front Skid plate is off and going in for a Powder Coat tomorrow (Black) !!

Hi

Doing some sightseeing with the Grenny around Sagres, Portugal

Hi gkhaidi, Your Grenadier looks great at the coast. I like the last photo too. Looks like a nice uncrowded surf spot, I only count 3 surfers out.

Installed an auxiliary switchable 90A power port in the cargo compartment with a fat Anderson connector, + another 12V outlet (facing aft rather than into the cargo compartment), with a 100A circuit breaker.
Electrical system in a Grenadier is just as much a delight to work with as body mounts/attachment points.

Today I found out that you cannot open the fuel flap when the vehicle is locked.

I assumed wrongly that it was just a simple latch.

Hi,

It’s an awesome surf spot. There’s several creeks and with the Grenny most can be reached to within walking distance.

The swells are nice and a good solid 30-45 kmph steady north-western wind

Nope, identical to just about every car on the road with a push to open flap in that respect.

Basic security feature I guess, stops scrotes stealing fuel!

Scrotes - haven’t heard that term since the ‘90s

Scrotes - haven’t heard that term since the ‘90s

And since then we've become old ones!

Usually the same on all

It’s not as bad as it looks, still much higher than the bash plate but yes it does affect the departure angle.

Your idea of bigger trailer tyres is a good one. It’s a 16’ 3 axle Ifor and the axles are pretty close together so not leaving much room for bigger tyres but I’ll look into it

I did that with one of my trailers, Not so much for the ride height but I found that the low profile trailer tyres are vulnerable to pinching the bead on rocks and potholes. The 185/70r13c is a good upgrade for more tyre wall and about a 1.5" lift over the 195/50r13c..

Sounds ideal, cheers!

Just make sure you're not on 12" rims before your order them...

I mounted my quad lock vent mount to the bar protecting the hazard button, it’s not super solid but will take it for a shake down and see how it performs!

 

[Hannes01]

Only filled up a little bit water

Did a bit of towing today - the Grenadier tows better than my previous Hi-Lux, mirrors not as good when reversing a long trailer though…

Typical day other than coming across this…

@RobP and I (ok, mostly Rob) installed Urban Automotive Side Steps on my Grenadier this evening. Came out great and really finishes the vehicle well, in my opinion. Here also is a shot of both Grens in the driveway. Thanks Rob!
