What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Tazzieman]

No doubt a topic that could spawn 53 pages of emotion
I've stuck my trusty analog pencil tyre gauge on the console via a couple of Terry clips.

Of all the gauges I've accumulated over the decades (screw on/clip on/hold on : 1950s Michelin , 80s Porsche , sundry cheapies, dial style (one on my tyre inflator), digital (on my portable gun inflator) it is the one that correlates precisely with the readout on the Grenadier screen.
Therefore it remains , easily grabbed and nicely portable.

This guy shows how much new gauges vary.

I just installed the quad lock cell phone holder in my car. Super stable mount.

We all talk of how capable our Grenadier’s are off-road. Most aIso drive on paved surfaces if only to arrive at an off-road trail. I decided to attend a Driver Skills Day taught by instructors from the local Porsche Club, BMW Club, and Dirtfish a WRC training and event facility. We have done this with all of our vehicles to learn how they handle in a controlled environment. The location was Pacific Raceways which has an NHRA quarter-mile drag strip, 2.25-mile road course and more. First there was a ground school to talk about the days activities and the dynamics of driving. There was lots of seat time on a closed course, perfecting our technique with exercises designed to focus on essential driving skills: looking ahead, weight balance, smooth inputs, threshold braking, and more. The day's exercises included a slalom course, wet skidpads, braking and accident avoidance course, autocross and a figure 8 exercise. The last exercise was SLOW lead / follow laps around the road course. Video is of the road course at a MUCH higher speed than we attained. Highly recommend taking a similar class near you.

I installed the GP Factor Bull Bar—premium quality and a perfect fit. It was a one-man job and took about 20 minutes.

Oh that looks great! What's your first impression of GP's multi-piece bolt-together design? (vs traditional welded)

Impossible to quantify, I understand. Just your impression how the parts mate and the fasteners they use. Cheers.

Loved the video, I just love watching a 911 GT3 RS going at full tilt, but not for the faint hearted looking at that G metre.
I would off been vomiting if I was in the passenger seat.

Picked up my Rock Sliders from the dealer, after the wagon ones were ordered for my Quartermaster. They did not fit, so these were ordered. On the way home got a call to check the order numbers, as not sure if two RHS ones were ordered. Sure enough 2x RHS rock sliders. This is beyond a joke now. Told them they can drop off the LHS one and pick up the second RHS. Done wasting my time, as they should have been fitted on delivery.
