What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Asnes]

Something snuck in under my car today

Have you noticed a difference in handling as compared to stock shocks?

Yes but I haven’t tried it in anger yet so too soon for a verdict. I’ll give them a bit of a stretch this weekend.

You need to give a report when you test them a bit.

Not particularly exciting but I had my UHF, lightbar and an andersen plug to the back installed yesterday.

One thing I do rate is a new bullbar antenna attachment that ARB have brought out though. Very cool. You can attach it anywhere along the bullbar tube - just drill through the tube and a barrel keeps it rigid and it doesn’t move. As most of of my touring going forward will be with the bride in the passenger seat, I didn’t want to mount it on the inside of the hoop straight in front of her. That would piss me off so while she’s never said anything, I’m sure it does her as well. Using this attachment I can put it on the outside on an angle and it looks much better than the normal spring mount. I may cop more whacks from shrubs/tree branches etc but the happy wife / happy life trade off should be worth it.
Being out of the way also means I can put my fishing rod holders on that hoop as well without the antenna being in the way.
The bullbar mounts on the narva lightbar are also pretty good I think.

That is a nice antenna mount. @bigleonski

Where did you install the Anderson and how did you get power to it?

I've been thinking about drilling the top of the roo bar post and installing a lightweight spring base antenna there. Just needs a wedge to set the antenna vertical. Easy to solve.
Similar to how EHQ have installed this lightbar bracket set; which looks very close to putting the lightbar higher than the top of the bonnet?
Then there's those rod holders...
Anyway, example only!

Do you know what. I’m just as much in the dark as you are. I’m joining some guys on this forum in a couple of weeks time to find out. From what I can tell it’s travelling on permitted but un paved by ways.
I’ll let you know the ins and outs soon

If you don't mind me asking, where are you planning to go? I'm based Jct. 4a of the M3 on the Surrey/Hants border and see you're not far away...

A new UHF bracket for the Roo Bar. Please let us know the details.

Yorkshire. Along with some others on the forum. A long way to go from the South Coast but looking forward to it. I’m always up for other meet ups though.

Straight to the battery with a relay mate.

That is very different to the usual UHF mount. It looks neat.

I cannot find it on the ARB website, so far - but that is not uncommon with ARB. I tried both UHF and CB bracket.

I’ve just received and unpacked my Almont4WD underbody protection plates. Very impressed with the packaging and quality of the product. Will take a few weeks for me to get it all fitted as time allows but no rush for now Didn’t go for the front plate
as mine still in good order and rear bash plate has been replaced recently anyway

It’s time to fish……
Waddy Point, Fraser Island, God’s country

There are two grenny’s on this trip - SW and Green.

Just received my insurance renewal, it's a multi car with 4 vehicles. If I remember rightly the mileage restriction on the Grenadier is 12,000 and business use. Quite happy with this after seeing some people's insurance quotes. Insurance company does stipulate a tracker which I have paid for a lifetime cover.
£650

Tonight I was out with the Grenadier in the fields, woods and meadows and had a look at the game fence that has been built against African swine fever. I kept the engine running when I got out of the car. I thought it was loud. At one point, I accidentally switched it off. Then the dpf burn came on. That was hell. There of all places. At least there would have been onlookers in the supermarket car park.

 

[Braydo]

First time towing the camper this weekend. Also got to try out the new pooch on his first camping trip. Fun and frivolity was had by all.

Paddy. You're not far from me either - J5 on M3

Perhaps we should meet up at some point and shoot the breeze? I may have seen you on the M3 near Jct3 the other day heading north? There's 5 ways end (I think it's called) in Nately that's not a bad green lane if the hedges are trimmed! I've not spotted @simonpa around recently, perhaps he can be encouraged out too

Away at the moment. Would be good to meet up when back in a couple of weeks.
