What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Small addition on a hot day… a pull for the GP Factor cutting board… and the color kinda matches

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…

Agreed, I really notice the difference compared to my transit custom and even our old Defender. I’d really like some bigger mirrors, perhaps a double mirror like on most vans, including a wide angle section.

It's not the mirrors but the turning circle I have to be careful with when towing, a 3 point turn in a solo vehicle is one thing, but towing

Quiet day so decided to rotate the 5 tyres.
odo 4650 miles.

Chucked on a few cable ties round the wheel sensor cables while I had the opportunity.

Hello All. Installed my left side Bison Gear Molle panel.

This thing is amazing and I am figuring out exactly how I am going to configure what goes on it.

I think Rotopax on this side, but I am not sure yet.

The real story here is Bison Gear's customer service. I received the panel late on a Friday. I planned to wait to put it on, but a buddy and I got too excited and couldn't wait.

We installed it that night. Outside. In the dark. After a few beers. I lost a few bits to the grass.

I knew I could go to the hardware store and solve this, but I thought I would reach out them.

Their response was amazing. It was the Gold Star of what customer service should be.

I love the panel. I love Bohdan. This company (and these people) are top notch.

A magnet tray is your friend , for prevention and cure!

Wally, the Grenadier, has had its 15,000km service. Plus it got a 35mm Eibach Pro Lift spring kit.

Unless they are stainless steel!

Unless they are stainless steel!

That depends
And metal detectors are pretty cheap these days.
I use a billet tactical camo powder coated neodymium tray

Went to a rather smart hotel yesterday for a series of family meetings. Was told by my wife - "you can't take the Grenadier to somewhere that smart; its covered in mud, filthy dirty and the back is full of barbed wire". Ignored her and she reluctantly came with me rather than driving herself in another rather smarter car.

On arrival the uniformed doorman took the keys and asked if he could park the Grenadier right outside the front door for the day where everyone could see it rather than hiding it in the car park. Bentleys, Rollers, and Porsches relegated to the car park out of sight. Brownie points earned with my other half.

Turned out that Sir Jim R owned the hotel......

Which hotel, I've got to go to a fancy wedding and will be using mine. It's one of the hotels that has Landrover experiences, I did one there when I got mine, which then got traded in for the Grenadier

Looks great!

Mine are on order - my 5' wife is waiting for them. I just hope they don't obscure the red ladder frame too much.

@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!They

Loaded Up for a night out…

Headed to the Grampians to sample some First Nations rock art galleries, and hopefully a few waterfalls.

If all goes well today I'll wire up the chase lights permanently, install the weBoost cell booster, put on my bison gear roof rack and install my fridge in the trunk. Pics will follow...

And I have made a first aid kit for the car. I really don't like the quality of the pre stocked kits so I'm making my own using overland gear guys bag for it.
