What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[BenTN]

I used the Grenadier to tow my 1965 Series IIA 88in to a local British car show in Townsend, TN.

The Grenadier towed great and looked great doing it. I entered it in the show too (I figured why not, while it's there...) and they let me park them side-by-side. It got at least as much attention as the Series. Pretty sure I sold a couple Grenadiers today.

The Series won 2nd place in the "Other" category LOL.

Love the color! I originally spec’d a Brittania Blue w/White contrast roof like yours. Happy with my Eldoret Boe and Black contrast roof but jealous of yours!

I just moved back from Kaiserslautern last year!

Right on Boise! I ate lots of good food and drank awesome German brew when we were at K-Town! Of course, we visited lots of places.

Installed an organiser on the cargo barrier to store bits and pieces like torches, suncreeen, handheld UHF etc.



EDIT: installed a second one on the other side of the car.

As usual, I was out and about in nature again this evening. Out with the Grenadier, there on foot. As I was walking back, I thought to myself, it's a good thing my family persuaded me to try Magic Mushroom. It was always my favourite colour. Shortly before signing, I was flirting with Sela Green. If the windows weren't reflective, it would have been almost unnoticeable.

I was out for hunting. Everything was fine, until the ditch comes it little to close
With quick help and a strong Grenadier, I‘m on the road again

Now that is what I call " operator error"...

Appropriate "ID" . Ditches are known to leap (out of no where ) in front of you. Farmers to the rescue!!

A scary moment!

No, the round trapezoidal discs that fit into the barrier mounting holes to allow the use of a leather strap for the rear seat passengers to have something to hold when getting in.

Hi can you send me a picture of what you came up with for rear grab handles? This is an issue for me and hoping to find a solution so my parents can enter the vehicle with some help

Just wish I could have been there - looks like an excellent day

And as the truck sides and leans over more and more... that's a rare situation where one might start to regret a lift kit and roof cargo. Center of mass controls our destiny!

Glad you came out smiling!

You live by your call sign...I think mine should change to 'Slidedriver' after yesterday's effort and not make fun of a sign that was way out of place where we were, I thought...but it happened on a track of the main road that was being graded at that time...just pure clay and you can see by the trailer that the Gren just slide sideways...we were virtually stopped...Unhooked the trailer and rolled back with hardly any steering...sliding towards the trailer which was moved again and now facing the way we came...once I was able to control the Gren a six-point turn retrieved the trailer and back the way we came which was fairly technical but the vehicle showed its merit

Check this thread - especially towards the end.

The idea was to make a grab rail for the rear passengers...I found this expandable spreader bar at Tent World and put on the handle grips purchased from Clark Rubber...it works a treat...I have yet to finish a hanging rail with the same style pole in the rear section...I have posted this somewhere before without the rubber handgrips...

Dang Bog! Hopefully there is no damage to your car!
