What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Did you use the "accessory carrier" or the "mounting clamp"?

I used this one:

Secure gear easily with this 2-pack of versatile mounting clamps for the Ineos Grenadier. Durable, adjustable, and built for off-road adventures.

Is the foot of that jack resting on the bottom of the ladder ? If not then the foot will rattle around a lot.

 

[parb]

I am planning to put a stretchy neoprene cover on the climbing mechanism to remove any rattle from it.
If the foot rattles then i'll have to mock something up.
I've had hi-lifts on roof racks for years but haven't had too much rattle from them, with unsupported foot and mechanism.
I put the bottom mount below the climbing mechanism so no vandal can't reverse the mechanism and make it fall down.

This is true, and also why I typically remove the bottom (using the quick release pin Hi-Lift offers) and store it with the other jack-related items inside the truck. I am considering jury-rigging a carrier made for Jeeps that specifically holds the bottom of the jack - want to see how it goes without it first. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0787NZHL6/?tag=globalgrena0b-20

Work visit in Boston allowed me to snap a photo with the USS Constitution in the background.

Looks beautiful. Was there a reason for the cans to be at slightly different levels?

Have you used the jerry cans while full and offroading on bumpy roads? Any issues with the molle panels with two cans filled up?

I mounted the forward one first based in my height (I’m about 5’ 6”) and ease of getting it on/off the mount. In mounting the rear one I encountered two very minor issues. 1) there is a bottle opener in the lower right corner of the panel that would’ve been blocked (not a big deal but worth keeping available; and 2) I found raising the rear one a bit (based on the mounting hole layout) allowed me a bit more space between the two tanks where the clasp on the forward mount is located.

I also like how they are offset a bit as well…

I haven’t gone off-road with them mounted yet. Currently running with them full right now but hwy and surface roads. I may end up adding a bit of padding between the mounts and the molle panel just for vibrations. They do hold the cans in very tightly and the clasps are adjustable so you can have them very tightly if you prefer. I check them before I leave for the day and a few times during my travels to make sure all the connections are secure. No issues so far.

Thanks. I was curious because bison recommends a load of 25kg, or 55 lbs, on the molle panel. One Nato can full I'm guessing is around 35 lbs. So was wondering how two would hold up when it gets bumpy.

I had an interesting event while getting a stone chip fixed in my windscreen two weeks ago....
There were two guys working at the shop and they went mad about the Grenadier, never seen one before.
Both asked about buying one and a million other questions.
I didn't say it but admit I thought it...... way too expensive for two guys who fix windscreens.

Then the older guy showed me pictures of the new Cessna he had just purchased, followed by the younger guy showing me pictures of his fully modified Toyota 70 series Landcruiser towing his huge fishing boat.

Lesson learnt!!

Hi AngusMacG,

i also have two jerry cans on mine with the bison mount. i have them on the passenger side of my grenadier and i use a jiggler to fill my gas tank from them. a bit easier to fill the tank from them. I've been out in big time offroad with them but they where not completely full. We'll see how it plays out.

i added this material to the back of my mount to reduce rattling:
EDIT: I don't know why it says amazon.de on the link. These where bought on amazon US.

Amazon.de

And i glued it in with this glue:

Amazon.de : LifeisLuck 50g Black Glue for Rubber Adhesive, Instant Super Glue All-Purpose Adhesive Bonding Between Rubber and Rubber, Tire, DIY Crafts, Rubber Edge, Rubber Tube Shoes Metal and Other Material

works really, really well. Highly recommended.

Today i finished installing the GP Factor hidden winch.
Note that my truck had the optimal front mounted tow hitch. A bit different than what others have but it worked like a charm. I couldn't install the two trim rings that the kit came with but I think it looks pretty finished as is.

Works like a charm. Will take better picture during daytime so you can see it in all its glory.
Great product, not super hard to install. Highly recommended.

Today's adventures , just out and about in the snow , perfect timing , 3 days after picking up the ineos

 

[pmatusov]

Used the lunch break to install the rear seat cover and dashboard cover from Tougher. The fronts were done a few months and many thousands of miles ago.

It's been a bit of a snow day in my part of the UK, so getting to work involved avoiding lots of motorists in lesser vehicles as they drove badly all over the place. A Gren on KO2s does well on wet snow.

It is hard for me to grasp the drive you have just undertaken as I have not driven in snow of that depth. I have experienced ice which is not for the faint hearted...I drove on a wet dirt road yesterday between Woodford and Glasshouse Mountains with the centre diff locked, corrogations, soft soil and water but the Grenadier soaked it all up in her stride, in the snow are you locking centre diff?... It is amazing how black and white your world looks today, safe travels

I was going to incorporate these lights into my Carbon Fiber Grill and at the last minute I decided against it. At that moment I had the idea of using the lights on the roof. They really came out great. I used very few parts to make it happen. I ordered from Agile Off Road.... the Female 2 Way Plug Deutsch DTP-Series 4 Kit. They are in the USPS mail. My new wide view mirrors also arrived today, both took no more that 8 minutes. The view is so much better, a wide angle.
