Looking good @Deepbluehad taken delivery yesterday.
Today looked for a temporary solution to mount my rooftop tent. Had organized some roof rack feets from an old defender and used existing bars from my Volkswagen Bus.
Photos show my Maggiolina rtt on the grenadier.
As you see the bars are to far away from the roof; ca 10cm of space between is a bit much.
Good enough for now until a provider brings a roof bar for the grenadier.

Thanks mate. I won some cheap on eBay, but didnt get measurements. i know they are longWill measure and let you know
Was that empty ?And almost forgot another thing I did today
Measured weight of grenadier in the wild:
Trialmaster, rock slider, winch, second battery, steel wheels, …
Heavy, yet to be expected: 2920 kg
Yes, no driver nor passenger. Had four roof bars in the trunk and maybe 50% of diesel.Was that empty ?
Those rock sliders are Heavy! I've handled one off the vehicle, and it weighed a lot. I'd have no worries about their strength howeverYes, no driver nor passenger. Had four roof bars in the trunk and maybe 50% of diesel.
Ineos have hurt Jean so much, that after all the waiting and all the delays.... he can't even go out driving for fun..What did I do today ….
- Drove 0 km
Why didn’t I drive?
I drive a car when I need it, and that means:
- For fun (holidays, etc. including "dirty tracks")
@Spjnr have measured the lenght of the feet, ca 30cm from upper line of rain gutter.
First I understood that you measured the length of a feet. Probably to calculate it in metric units.@Spjnr have measured the lenght of the feet, ca 30cm from upper line of rain gutter.
Space between bars and rubber parts on roof is 10cm. Ideally this could be lower e.g. 5cm
My bars have a lenght of 1.75m and with my roof tent being 1.6m wide this works ok (Thule ProBar).
I would say bars with 1.6m should work as well.
I think you win the Billy Bunter award with that weight. Heaviest I've seen, although just delivered vehicles lack the rock sliders which are good for 51kg.And almost forgot another thing I did today
