What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Heathbarcrunch]

This evening in the mail were my door switch Piano Black panels. They are on and here are front and a rear. All four are done. My Carbon Fiber Grill is scheduled for tomorrow. And my Bullbar Roo Bar from OwlOutdoor is shipped. A few other things and this ride is done.

can you share any pictures of the carbon fiber grill? Where did you order the grill from?

I don't think I posted this video... (I couldn't find it posted)...

A couple weeks ago I removed the stock off-road lights and installed Baja Designs LP4 lights in the grille using the Owl brackets.

Light sequence: DRL; Parking Lights + OEM low beam + OEM high beam + LP4 - OEM high beam - OEM low beam

Ok, Last evening I took down the front end of the car. Everything came off very easily. I followed a video from Owl Off road. It is great to have a guide or things break. The grill went on very nicely.I ran additional wires for Rigid Fogs. I'll get the aluminum brackets from Amazon tomorrrow. I really like the change to the front end of the car. It looks wider now. No more round fogs in the grill. I managed to get a nice frame for my garage opener, I bought 8 hoping one would be a great fit. These frames are made for window switches and SUV closures. The Roo Bar is from Owl. It is real quality. the finishes and welding is very good. I'm happy with the purchase. I saw yeaterday Owl is now selling convex mirrors. I ordered them right away, they are already in the mail to me. Here are some photos for you. I bought the grill here: It came from Germany. https://rockfoxx.com/#2c67/fullscreen/m=and&p=2&q=grenadier Owl made those covers on the bumper to hid some really big attachment bolts. The covers are very nice finish.

Just installed the Suma mirrors - about the easiest thing I've done on this vehicle. 10 minutes tops, but probably way less than that!

Did you get them from Owl? They’re offering blue or silver - curious what people think/prefer.

No, I ordered them directly from Suma a while ago. I think they took a couple months to arrive. I have purchased other great stuff from Owl though.

I just drove 1,700km from Botswana to Namibia. In two days. In a convoy of six Grenadiers.

I don't know if Kick Ass USA distributor is getting out or if Kick Ass themselves are pulling out of the US market. Bought a 200amp/H lithium slim line battery for 734.00, then their large control box for around 150, 2000 watt pure sine inverter for 300 and a lithium battery monitor for 50.00. I thought it was a deal and will mount it in my truck tub.

Kick Ass do almost no advertising in Australia, they seem to have wound things down considerably

They do a lot of marketing on FB. Big campaign currently for their upcoming Black Friday sale. Meta helps me see those ads wherever I go

Nice!! I love the matching of colors. I’ve only seen the hi-lifts in black/red/orange, never blue. I got the red one on the roof of one of mine. Good find and set up. I think I like your set up better than my own!!

I never heard of Kick Ass so went to check them out, as you all know the quest for finding new accessories NEVER ends! Looks like they are closing?

Its called the patriot edition by hi-lift. Red/white and blue. I like that for this they donate a portion of the profit to the hope for warrior foundation. This is the one i purchased. The 60" one is way too big to even mount on the roof.

Man wish I would have found this first!! Heck I may still get it and swap out what I have. I am a HUGE Wounded Warrior Project donator and participant of their work/activities!!

 

[parb]

that's what i did. I actually bought two because i didn't know about this model and i prioritize buying things that support causes i care about. Thank you for donating to the wounded warrior foundation, they do much good.

I lost many good friends in the sandbox. Especially miss a very close friend that i lost in Falluja, Lance Corporal Ramon Ortega RIP.

Ramon was a kid who was lost, about to end up deep in a gang in San Francisco when his uncle sent him to join the Marines.

As Ramon told me, Marines straightened me out. I met him as he was preparing to go to college, he had about a year left before he was discharged from the Marines and he was determined to make it into college. Smart kid, just born in a bad neighborhood but he had a bright future ahead. He pushed me hard at the gym with weights and i pushed him hard with his brain studying in the evenings.

9/11 happened and the world changed. For a while immediately following 9/11 he shared that he was manning a 50cal mounted on top of a Humvee sitting on bay bridge in San Francisco in case someone came with a truck bomb on the bridge (what a crazy time that was). It was all alert and a crazy era, we only once or twice chatted in those months.

He rang me a few months later to share that he was going overseas. couldn't tell me where. He re-enlisted with the marines in his last year. Went back to Iraq a second time. Never came home. I learned he died in Fallujah. Hit me hard, he was 19. I've lost lots of other friends since in Iraq and Afghanistan but Ramon was first. A close family friend and both me and my wife worked hard on helping him prepping for his dreams of graduating college and living just a normal family life.

I adopted his unit. Sent them over the years goodie bags. They sent me pics and messages from where they where deployed. Its tapered down now as time has passed by, i'm not as connected to his unit as i once was. tough times. I gave a guy in his unit my old car when he discharged, he was going to the police academy and needed a car (it was a nice car but not a really valuable car as it was 10 years old). He is in the sheriffs department in a county not too far from where i live now, has a kid and a family. At least some made it out.

I try to support veterans in whichever way i can.

The unofficial AUS aftermarket guide lists their battery box. Ppl in land down under have had good comments about their stuff. It's sold out on the site.. that's why I did the Lithium and the power box.
