What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[C-Mack]

I decided to tint my safari windows. This tint offers 20% light transmission and blocks uv radiation for temperature control. Looks great IMHO and once I get some full sun I'll post a full review.

Nice… was this a DIY pre-cut kit? Can you share where you bought it?

I went to tint world and had them do it. Took them an hour. Totally worth it.
The product is called "Supreme Tint - Sunroof - 20%". I spent $100 per window on it (but i live in a very high cost location, i'm sure its much less in utah).

I installed the gp factor bull bar. Looks great and very sturdy.
I like that I can see the top of it from the driver's seat.
Easy install. Maybe 30 minutes and I could easily do this myself without help.

That looks fantastic... do you miss the ability to sit on the front bumper? That's the only thing holding me back.

To anyone that has aftermarket driving lights, does the lower bar in the center obstruct or cause shadowing?

 

[parb]

I guess i don't miss it as I never sat on the front bumper, i think its a touch too narrow to be comfortable.... I typically sit in the trunk or on a camp chair.

I had a close encounter with a deer at 45mph and after that i've become a fan of roo/bull bars...

I should perhaps state why i like having the top visible to the drivers seat, it makes it easier to see where the cars bumper is at than estimating it off the hood.

We had some great weather today in Durango, Sunny and 55 Degree up at the house. So I had some time to work on the truck.

First thing I put on was work/scene lights also use them in low visibility when running offload,

Also crawled under the truck and put on Front and rear diff guards, very simple install.

Prior to install

PS found out image issue, the main camera on iPhone 16 Pro now takes image that are too large for image attachments, so you need to export them first as medium image size exports

I installed more of the rival underbody protection.
Still waiting for the gas tank protection and I'm done.
It rained overnight and it's not great weather today. Did not really enjoy spending the afternoon laying on my wet driveway but it had to be done..

Picked up the new Owl Sixty wheels which I'll be pairing with Mickey Thompson's 255/85r17 this week to replace the stock 18" alloys/K02s on the Fieldmaster. Hoping it all fits, looks, and handles well. A small lift may be added later.

I've now spent around a week with them and have been extremely happy with this combination. As far the ride goes, it does not feel much different on the highway but in the city I've noticed the steering doesn't take quite the effort as it did with the K02s. The Owl relocation bracket worked great as well.

Took it into the dirt today and threw some mud around. Didn't notice any rubbing when articulated and am continually amazed how easily this beast climbs when it's all locked up.

Looks awesome!

Made my portable compressor a fixed mount. Cabling, switch and hose connections (one outlet left and one right) still to be finalised.

 

[ORSO]

hi, what arb model is this?

 

[HereinDaRockies]

Does it interfere with the LHD view? Is it actually useful for ingress/egress?

Without a step, such handle would be useful. However with a step, such as the owl sliders, I have found ingress and egress to be very easy. No need for handle on the a pillar

I installed the GP Factor Bull Bar. Super easy except I swapped the uprights so I had to redo those and 1 of the front bolts wasn't lining up but a little push and pull on the bumper and bar and prying with a taped up awl got it sorted.

Made a little dent in the car. Luckily it's hardly noticeable...

I did something similar many years ago. I have no idea what tree or rock I hit or when but someone told me I had a dent. lol

 

[holdmybeer]

The first one hurts the most.

May I suggest mud therapy?

You sound like my wife.

Sorry.
