What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[TheDocAUS]

I was also interested - 53Kg if you use them all but you need to subtract some weight for the OEM fuel tank, front and rear skid plates.

Each component has its weight on the website here. Plus the weight of the bolts used.

More beach goodness.
Starting to get much more comfortable with the grenny’s capability in sand now. It does beach work as well as everything else, but the soft steep assents and churning through soft rough rutted dune tracks it does really easy. Nothing required more than high locked auto.
In the soft stuff I still reckon the big lazy V8 TTD in the 200 Series cruiser is king, but the Grenny would stay right behind it.

Looks like you had great conditions! Was it windy? I find 5th gear low range to be a sweet spot on the real soft stuff.

Weather has been magic. Winds up to 45km/he tomorrow though, so we’ll do a morning fish and assess what we do for the rest of the day.
A lot of our travel has been near/at high tide so the beaches have been soft, and tracks have been soft but not super powdery like summer. That video on Insta just shows the top section, the run up off the beach was the fun bit, not super difficult but enough to use a bit of right foot.

You will need to get steelies and powder coat them white to match the trailer

I installed smoked position lights... Yeah, I was bored...

Left one installed, right side wasn't installed yet so you could see the difference.

The car is booked in this Friday to have gas struts fitted to the battery box lid (2 seater Utility Wagon). Opening and closing the lid should be easier once it is done.

Left one installed, right time just before I started it.

was a Land Rover parked there previously?

Can you whip them off quickly in order to access the recovery eyes or perhaps just use a centre insert?

You're thinking of the backup lights just above the recovery hooks?
The smoked position lights are in the bumper just above.

The hooks are fully accessible. Its the leitner mounts. I'll snap a pic for you later in the morning

What is that hitch and the blue bit on the side?

 

[parb]

It's a step. Getting older so I added a step on the hitch. It's foldable.

https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch_Step/Carr/CARR183252.html

I have a hitch lock on, its the blue bit.

Amazon.de : PACLOCKs UCS-80A-250 Trailer Hitch Lock, 5/8" Pin for 2-1/2" Receivers, High Performance 6-Pin Cylinder, One Lock Keyed to a Number U-Pick! w/ 2 Keys, Blue Anodized Aluminum

I like the paclock locks. I have the same key for all my locks on my vehicle. Trailer lock, padlock (usually for my bike or motorcycle) etc. Makes it easier not to have to manage a bunch of different keys.

Trip to Tractor Supply to buy dog food…found this as well. Mind you the price shown was incorrect. Actually $37.99!

Not sure I will ever need it but one never knows!

Just remember that that style of strap is only for traction extractions, no kinetic loading at all

Side note, interesting that it is a 4" strap only rated at 30,000lbs... The usual calculation is 10,000lbs per 1" of strap width

Tourist day today.
Maheno wreck, Eli Creek, Lake Mackenzie, Central Station.

And a top up of fuel - glad they are on the island, but thankfully we don’t pay these prices every day.

I drove past a road sign and got a good laughed...
