What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[parb]

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.

Labor Day Weekend, had a great time in the mountains of Utah, cooler temps, not alot of people #FunTimes

The smoked position lights are in the bumper just above.

Are you referring to the rectangular red passive (retro) reflectors in the bumper, or the round tail lights that are higher up?

Great timing when you were walking back to the Gren at Eli Creek...and the eyes were all trained on the cars...sure.

Late 70's...A mate of mine smashed the window of a Rangie in Eli to get the family out of the car as it was going down, took about twenty minutes and was gone...he saw a guy running up the beach before he got to the creek..turned out to be the driver going for help...the water was flowing fast and deep where he entered..rookie error.

Yesterday in St. Pere Pescador, Spain.
The red one is really a city posing car with low profile tires and will not follow me and my Greni into the Pyrenees

Greetings from Costa Brava!

Worst storms in >50 years hit Tasmania this last week. We lost 3m of dune at our island beach shack. Need a ladder to get to the beach In recent years we'd tried to naturally rehab it after previous king tides but now we have to bite the bullet as others have done. Maybe climate change is real.
200kg Cement on the back seat , 100kg timber on the roof, dug some deep holes, chucked some sandbags around and the 1st 6m of wall is partly done. Not properly reinforced yet.
Still got 9m more , plus steps.
Going to get the next load delivered.
Driving back over tomorrow but not a heavy day. I'm totally buggered!

3rd pic is leaving home. Not the shack!
