What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Znarfgh]

Thanks to some other smart people I was informed of a hose on the passenger side of the engine that is not properly secured. I made up a small bracket and used a 16mm P clip to secure the hose.

@Reducs where did you get the black towel rods?

From a member who had issues with them trying to attach a rack.

I'm not sure where they were from, but it looks like https://grenadier.parts/en/products/railing-tubes-black sells them.

@Adamc1303, wanna weigh in?

I got mine from Amazon. They are definitely made in China.

Added White Knuckle Off-road rock sliders. I love the 20 degree angle up versus straight out. Build quality is top notch. They are heavy!! Two man job; or use a floor jack. I recommend to thread bolts slightly in the front mounting holes and then take out before install. Both sides were difficult to get bolts to bite. Great small company and great customer service.

Looks good. Can these still be used as a step? I can’t really tell from the pic but it seems like with some skateboard tape, it might work?

Yes I’m actually picking up some non skid tape from Lowe’s today. Thinking of about 1” wide and 12” long in front of each door. I can use now as a step without but worried if wet may be slick or over time paint gets worn.

If you live somewhere you can keep a knife in the car, and want to, this is how I've rigged mine. It's a TOPS Interceptor (no longer available) that has a hard sheath and a belt clip that swivels.
Belt clip on the seatbelt, then zip ties around it and down under the lower seat belt anchor. It is rock solid.

I do think I'll look for something similar that has a positive thumb strap to hold it in. The knife itself is secure, but I'm sure it would fly out in a violent accident. I'd hate to get stabbed in a car wreck.

Installed the OWL Vans Bull Bar. Super packing...Super accurate fitment. Install was about 15 minutes. Ordered in November so lead time was about 20 days.

I installed the GP Factor Bull Bar—premium quality and a perfect fit. It was a one-man job and took about 20 minutes.

Now you need to wash the bumper or dirty the bullbar. I vote the second option.

The second option will only take a second.

Very nice. That will be my next addition. GP factor did it right. I like your KC lights and custom bezels from shawdowmarq glad to see clearance worked out with the new bezels.

No doubt a topic that could spawn 53 pages of emotion
I've stuck my trusty analog pencil tyre gauge on the console via a couple of Terry clips.

Of all the gauges I've accumulated over the decades (screw on/clip on/hold on : 1950s Michelin , 80s Porsche , sundry cheapies, dial style (one on my tyre inflator), digital (on my portable gun inflator) it is the one that correlates precisely with the readout on the Grenadier screen.
Therefore it remains , easily grabbed and nicely portable.

This guy shows how much new gauges vary.

I just installed the quad lock cell phone holder in my car. Super stable mount.

On pavement driving school
We all talk of how capable our Grenadier’s are off-road. Most aIso drive on paved surfaces if only to arrive at an off-road trail. I decided to attend a Driver Skills Day taught by instructors from the local Porsche Club, BMW Club, and Dirtfish a WRC training and event facility. We have done this with all of our vehicles to learn how they handle in a controlled environment. The location was Pacific Raceways which has an NHRA quarter-mile drag strip, 2.25-mile road course and more. First there was a ground school to talk about the days activities and the dynamics of driving. There was lots of seat time on a closed course, perfecting our technique with exercises designed to focus on essential driving skills: looking ahead, weight balance, smooth inputs, threshold braking, and more. The day's exercises included a slalom course, wet skidpads, braking and accident avoidance course, autocross and a figure 8 exercise. The last exercise was SLOW lead / follow laps around the road course. Video is of the road course at a MUCH higher speed than we attained. Highly recommend taking a similar class near you.

Oh that looks great! What's your first impression of GP's multi-piece bolt-together design? (vs traditional welded)

Impossible to quantify, I understand. Just your impression how the parts mate and the fasteners they use. Cheers.
