What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Cheshire cat]

the driver behind you is going to think he's tracking NNW even when has full midday sun dead in his eyes

I removed mine in the winter also. No doubt, my wheel tool box lock will now corrode.

Took a ride today through the slush, sleet and snow. I have been out in snow before but first time in the real slushy stuff as I only have 2k miles on my Grenadier. I found the Ineos Rock Sliders were perfectly aligned to hold all the slush that slides down the front and rear doors. Fun when you slide out of the truck and the slush slides off the rock rails into the back of your boots.
I liked the look of the rodk sliders and wanted something incase someone needed a "boost" to climb into the truck. I did not build my truck but my dealer found one sitting at the port that closely matched the options I wanted. It came with the Rock Sliders. The rock sliders are pretty narrow and close to the body so not easy to use as a step up, of course not primarily designed for a step up. Wondering if they changed up the design by moving them outboard a bit more this would avoid the slush or snow build up as well as easier to use as a step where your toe does not hit the body.
Just a thought for continuous improvment, love my truck.

OMG did you switch to push button start?! How do you have the key hanging???

Haha, that would be cool. Just found an old key chain and before the shelf, I used to hook

it to the overhead metal loop.

Not smart if someone broke into my garage I know

That looks more like a "Side Runner" than a rock slider to me. If it is the Ineos accessory and has plastic inserts, it is the side runner. The Ineos rock sliders make poor steps.

Finally got around to installing the UHF today.

I removed the M&M wheel cover to protect from salt and frost in winter time.
Today the winter wheel cover arrived.

What is the significance of the 24 degrees NE, if any?
Custom latitude?

Today, I had ago at removing the tyre storage box to swap the locking nut off the spare wheel. Noticed that the 3 torx nuts fastening the storage box to the wheel was stiff as hell. Good job, I purchased a set of long arm torx alley key set to put in my car tool box and proved very useful. I put some acf50 on all the bolts threads to stop them seizing in the future.

Namibia. Bloody excellent place to visit. 3000km over 3 weeks. Desert, sand dunes, beaches, salt roads, corrugated gravel, fast highways, floods. You name it, I drove it there. All except mud. And the grenadier - flawless in EVERY terrain. Slingshotting and jumping over 30 metre dunes, dodging zebras and elephants, beach drives dodging big Atlantic Ocean waves, 166kph on highway, and all the off road modes used frequently. So much fun. Honestly couldn’t have wished for a better vehicle to adventure in.

Did you ship over your Grenadier or did you find an outfit with them?

Damn your right. Thanks Jeremy, you are correct they are the side runners and not the rock sliders. I dont really need the rock sliders for my use of the rig, but I think I will dig a bit deeper in the Forum and look for some replacements that are more user friendly than these that are recomended by Forum contributors.

Update to SPP skid plate install. Finished and got the fuel tank plate installed. You have to cutoff one of the factory skid plate brackets to both theirs to the factory one. Didn't appear to be too structural, it was thin sheet metal. What I can say is while the kit is nice, there are some gotchas like that and then the transmission plate has two rivet nuts and you really need the tool to install properally, tried it without the first time and wasn't successful. I also switched from the M10 rivet nut SPP provided to a M12 rivet nut and bolt as it fit the hole better. No instructions provided and shipping from Germany was expensive. If I did it again I'd go Agile or Rival.

Added the Rosen visor upgrade from Owl, really nice since I sit tall and could never use the visors anyway. Also added the LeTech ladder and Jerry can. Picked up from Warner in Utah. Good to deal with.

that looks a bit brighter of a red. Sun is out today I'll take another picture and DM it to you.

300km round trip, rolled over 15,000km, and filled up with 86.03L of diesel, a personal best I think.
For others reference, pre fill up that was a circa 115km initial leg starting from an orange bong, with the last 40km in the red bong zone.

Fuel was cheaper at the top of the hill. Yep, I’m a tight arse.

Oh, and last 1000km (mostly highway with about 150km of dirt forest trails) was at an average fuel usage of 10.56L/100km - based on km driven and fuel from full at first click to fuel at first click with a small fill at about the 690km mark (in the red)
