What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[anand]

Any chance we can track those trucks like some did for the first shipments almost a year ago?

Perhaps if photos were allowed and I got VINs... But they weren't, and I didn't

Today I attached the Molle Expedition from Offroad-Tec to the original and additional airline rails and also put the 17l overland canister on it…..2 people and a dog need water on the way.
The Molle Expedition from Offroad-Tec is extremely well made, light and stable. The service from Markus at Offroad-Tec is always incredibly good.

Mine went orange and shows 20 days to Service. But I only have 4995 miles.

I'm 133 days (yes!) overdue but still blue....

Installed the agile off-road Tire Carrier

I brought this beauty home

 

[Tazzieman]

Because I use the roofrack a lot and because one slip can mean a trip to emergency , I bought a pair of these , added grip tape and glued the easily lost rubber protective caos on.

The ripe old age of 101.

Although, I’d guess only about 2% of the population in Australia would have heard of Howard. Like most other places including the US, the rest of its people have likely never been anywhere near a farm sadly.

I have heard of Howard
Here are two video's I made about it.

Fitted front and mid underbody guards from Almont. Leaves front diff guard and the fuel tank guard left to go.

Also took couple snaps of the prop angle. Not much play left. No lift.

Looks like you’ve got a birds nest next to your CV joint . Front diff guard is an easy one as long as you cut about 20mm off to clear the steering damper. Good job

Hmmmm, not sure the topic was about Howard Qld pop. 1400 @DaveB.

Had oil change done at dealer @5100 miles.
$170 just for the oil change, not bad.

I also saw some Brazilian slippers on one of the pictures

Leveled her out with the 1.7" Eibach springs in front. Replaced the stock Bfg's and steelies with 285/75/17 BFG Ko3's and Nomad Sahara wheels. Zero rubbing in any condition. I know I said I wasn't going to lift at all, but after finding the availability of the Teraflex High angle Rzeppa kit, I decided to proceed. If Something happens to the joint, I can replace it in the field.

Freebie advice for replacing springs. Release your sway bar while level, then set ramps in opposing corners. Use your floor jack for max corner wheel flex and a strut spring compressor (free from Autozone) to compress the outgoing and incoming springs for a super easy install. No alignment adjustments were necessary for mine.

Replaced the center lights with Bajadesigns LP4's from www.specialtyperformanceparts.com. I was extremely disappointed to find that the factory only gave me 6 inches of a pigtail in the underhood aux wiring for Switch #5. There were a good many expletives used to articulate my frustration with Ineos in that regard.
I also installed the Fox steering dampener as sold by Agile Offroad, and promptly REMOVED it! I put the factory unit back on. The Fox unit lightens up the steering at low speed but is too light for high speed driving causing bump steer to be significant. The factory unit is a perfect balance to allow stable on road manners. Well done Ineos.
We absolutely love our Grenadier. Figured out the tire pressure and warning light systems. Always press the FAV button after startup to silence Speed warning, depress the Auto Start/Stop button, and press and hold MUTE to turn the dash off at night when in the woods. Running premium fuel only (93) and we get between 12 and 14 mpg.....14 is the absolute BEST we have seen. 75mph is average highway driving speed. Mostly highway. LOVE IT!

LP4's look great. Just about to do the same with the Owl Vans brackets - which they ship to Aus if you have a US credit card and suggest you use Shipito if not - and bajadesigns lights from Stott Engineering in NSW (webenquiry@baja-designs.au / webenquiry@stottind.com.au for those in the sun burned country.

Voila, took off 20mm. It will get a work out in the Dorset hills on Monday/Tuesday, hopefully sufficient removed!

I’d like to join you in the Dorset hills sometime. There are some great tracks around Shaftesbury and the Salisbury Plains.

Note it features a metal point at the front end that can be used to break a window in an emergency. I keep 2 of the steps, one in each door pocket.
