What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Well my 15 year old crashed into a boulder! 😲 Just finished cleaning the rock dust off. Crazy how stout the stock bumpers are.

Installed a GP-Factor rear door folding table that I picked up in a recent scratch-and-dent sale. Outstanding product and installation was a breeze.

I elected not to install the suggested touch-light right now - will wire it in if/when a Wolfbox mirror’s rear camera is added.

Also installed some vinyl lettering to the “GRENΛDIER” on the spare tire storage box.
 
"Full metal jacket".😎.. Custom Offroad 4mm SS bash plates Black Friday sale.: f/r diff, rear control arm pivots , sump/ transmission and t/f case. Was able to crawl around sufficiently to "lever" the heavier plates into place and loosely bolt in position prior to final tensioning. I'll sleep well tonight🙄
EDIT: Was most impressed that 14/20 bolt holes tapped and threaded during vehicle production, 4 bolts plus nylocs into existing brackets and remaining 2 for the t/f case plate piggybacked on to the existing (middle) attachment points for the LHS side runners.
All in all a satisfying task for an old bloke!🤣 (according to ageing neighbour!)

Your post inspired me to order the transmission protection plate and the install was really easy. As a bonus, this plate will help protect the transmission if the front driveshaft fails (there has been a report of a smashed gearbox)

I thought it was your local Grenadier car yard or a holding yard for a mining company with all the UHF aerials :LOL: great numbers (y)(y)
Looks like outside the workshop at work if it was all Ineos. At least it's not all white with reflective stripes, flags and race numbers.
 
Nope, I don't think they'll polish out.
One of them definitely not, it's quite deep, but it looks like the rest will come out with a machine polish.
One of the group had a new 130 Defender, not a mark on it, probably helped by being able to raise the suspension several inches.
 
6am this morning, with only 3 days to go in spring, it is warming up and already 28.8 degrees. ( 83.8 F)
On my way down to my office (the shed) to start work and greeted by thge sight of my Grenadier.
This year she is undercover in the shade compared to last year when she was out in the open all year
Going to be much better when the hot weather starts.

Well it is now summer and I am getting ready for the summer holidays and a lot of work on the Grenadiers shed.
I decided to just take 12 days leave, which gives me 3 weeks off with public holidays, from 20th December until 12 January
Hopefully the weather will stay the same, but pretty sure it will get a lot hotter.
