What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[ORSO]

yes

Have been doing a lot of towing hay bales to my hay store recently, and as a consequence eating fish and chips from the take- away in the vehicle. So decided a good time to clean the vehicle inside.
I'm please to say I recovered enough hay to feed the horse for one day and recovered enough chips from under the seats to warm up for one meal

My cables (VIN in the 1500s) are very firmly attached and I can't envisage them ever coming off ; have they changed the original clamps?

I was told my XHQ It impacts earlier cars, mine did not need to be done. I am chassis 7719.

As I said , mine's 15XX, It took 7kg of force (fishing scale) to pull the cables off.
Not the least bit concerned!

My VIN is early 3000,s after nearly 30,000kms no issue but they are easily pulled from the bracket, so figured why not an easy preventative mod. About to do a few kms on gravel.

They must have changed their supplier.

 

[Logsplitter]

My vin is 1163 and they were falling out easily before a modification was made.

Sounds like they chose the wrong sized clamp to me.
My vehicle was part of the batch and hold cohort. Maybe that worked in my favour?

On holiday in France just now. Went for a play on the river, glad I had the roof rack as it was quite an effort blowing up the paddle board and the kayak. If we go again later in the week we I won’t have to do it again. Unfortunately i only have one ratchet strap with me!

nice. a little 12v ciggy socket pump is worth it when speed is needed.

I have the arb twin and an air tank! But alas no fitting for the kayak to connect to the compressor. It was lots of work with a foot pump.

"....i can see you're right sir, the seams have indeed failed. talk me thru your inflation setup"

"... i've got an Arb twin..."

"goodbye sir"

On my Cape York trip. Car is going beautifully. It's loaded to the gills. As we pulled into Archer River Roadhouse, another grenadier was leaving. It was grey like mine, had a big sticker on the bonnet. But my brother was driving, and he doesn't speak to people. So a belated hello. He can take a photo though.
We are watching the footy via Starlink. Struggling.

Added a little armor.

At Bramwell station today. Tiny dust leak at back door, seems to be in the top middle of the big door. Otherwise it's going brilliantly.
Old telegraph track tomorrow.
