What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Tom D]

what mileage are you up to Tom D?

26000.
The dealer never had an air filter in stock so I’ll get the service reminder reset done when i go in to get the filter. The workshop manual would have saved me a few minutes here and there, like finding the cabin filter and not having to google BMW oil change procedure. It was all very easy though.

I changed the rusting fastenings with these - until I acquire the clone of the original in Stainless.

I’m in the US and never heard of “Lanoguard”. I had to google it and found more info on it. Going to see if any local places to similar things. I have PPF & ceramic coating done on all my newer vehicles, but have never had the undercarriage sprayed or however applied. See, learnt me something new today from this awesome forum!!

Rust is likely much less of a problem for you guys, up here we spread salt on the roads 6 months of the year and we have a very damp climate.
I was casually browsing the classified adds the other day looking for an old Nissan Patrol or an 80 series Land Cruiser there are hardly any left. All eaten by rust. In Australia they have loads left..

We've watched a bunch of videos off the Youtuber "Desert Drifter" 's channel recently.
Right up your desert alley!
Check it out if you haven't already.

Looks like we might have big weather event coming In this weekend to the San Juans Mountains. I has been amazing warm dry couple of weeks, but the front coming in Thursday night and now may become cut off Low, and dump in high country a little bit of snow. It showing inches, so 2 feet plus in the high country. Crazy to think it was in the low 80's Degree F here last week and now in mid 70's F so far this week in Durango.

Finally got the Grenadier on some legitimate 4x4 trails in Southern Utah. Truck did well and even did a near vertical rocky hill climb that amazed me that i even made it. With a good line, adequate throttle, and some luck it clawed itself up. Suspension is awesome on and off road. You don't need new springs and shocks as a first upgrade.
One major fault...for no reason I got a "Hydraulic Brake Assist malfunction" fault which caused it to go into an undrivable limp mode. Turned it off and ate lunch for 1/2 hour and it cleared itself. Would have been bad if it didn't clear itself.

 

[angstorms]

Decided to run up 550 up to Andrew Lake for morning hike with the dogs, and go over to Little Molas, also get the last of the color before old man winter moves in this weekend, It was already snowing and in the low 30's when I left Little Molas, warm (58)and dry still down in Durango

Your pretty pictures are making me jealous.
Today I visited a client's house after a 20 mile journey across single track roads, a ford, a section of the A1, Great North Road, and a farm track. I'll be doing much the same tomorrow and the day after.

Work is definitely a four letter word. Still, it could be worse, at least the Grenadier is warm and cozy. 27,000 miles done; a bit of warranty work to be done next week. I'll be intrigued to see what the loaner is.

In my case it is always à Mercedes car because my dealer is mainly a Mercedes dealer, with no 4x4 experience.

I swear, that was the car I got some months ago:

Took the Grenadier out to watch comet C/2023 A3 last night and the weather cooperated for us. It can still be seen with the naked eye. Just look west after sunset and you can see it in the constellation “Serpens” that you can see in the pics. We had a 91% Moon behind us which lit everything up tremendously.

Enjoy!

Took the Grenadier up the road to watch these guys. (Orcas)

I enlarged my good lady's little helper step, as the scrap alloy I'd previously used was a touch narrow.
It now sticks out about 6cm beyond the rock slider and is much more functional.

Parked next to a ND.

Reading is fundamental. I read the first sentence but got nervous when i saw my I enlarged my ladies little helper.... I was like this forum is PG and Tazz is bringing the X. So started again and finished with step. Wiped the sweat off my forehead and continued to see the picture.
