What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[TheDocAUS]

Nice job. I did something very similar but a little more direct with regards to the attachment point using a straight, flat piece of 15mmx2mm aluminium.

Thanks, what size P clip?

 

[TheDocAUS]

But why???
I have never once thought I wish there was a handle inside so I can close the rear doors from inside???
Maybe if you sleep inside I guess??

Correct if you wish to sleep inside. Although I can also climb thru the cargo barrier in my 2 seater (I cut a hole).

Thanks, what size P clip?

16mm.

Yep. Or just hang out in the load space and eat lunch.

They are paracord and are fairly robust.

It’s the hole that I’m concerned about. No rivet or stitching to keep it from expanding and pulling off the screw.

It seems sturdy but only time will tell.

I carry a spare, as they are cheap.

16mm.

Tks for that, I was just browsing Amazon for some p clips sizes and saved me a trip under the hood, well until later anyhow.

Nothing better than getting stuck in, and doing a great job Owl flat earth rack looks neat and versatile, is their any companies that stock them in the uk?

I don't know that Owl has a UK distributor

I used a length of belt leather and also attached pieces above the rear windows as a grab handle.
It fits in well with the great saddle leather trim I optioned.

Generic plastic handle from Bunnings. Did require one spacer to to plumb it up.

Thanks, what size P clip?

16mm fits best

Picked her up from Owl Offroad who installed Eibach Pro Lift kit, Fox steering stabilizer, King adjustable shocks, Talon Wheels with Baja Boss tires, Baja Designs LP4 grill lights replacement, ARB under seat twin compressor, Owl side steps and Goose Gear rear seat delete system. Absolutely loving the ride height and suspension so far and the LP4 grill lights offer amazing extra coverage over stock.

Went for a walk with the hounds in Sussex vineyard land. Ended up having to winch a VW camper out who was stuck in the mud. Couldn't tow him as no room to do so, surrounded by parked cars, he'd parked nose in so driven wheels were in the gunk. Had to position the Gren athwart the track on the otherside of the track so could get a good pull thru the post and rail. Think he'd been paragliding up on the Downs. No photos of the winching but here's some afters. You can see on his right front tyre marks, one being his entry and the other to the right a bit 'his' exit and where for some reason he put his brake on - no problem for the Gren!!

Nice walk after that.

Oh and topped the oil up 500 from the change the day before. All is well.

A great landscape. I would love to accompany you now.

Oh my ever living *!@%. Flew back from Germany yesterday - had left the Grenadier at Knauz for the week while I was gone. While I was away, they had the contractor replace the Exoshield windscreen protection (it was installed 8 months ago but one corner was lifting off) - all free and covered - and did the software update for the fuel plausibility error code (@Stu_Barnes posted the TSB in January), which got rid of the check engine warning (and hopefully keeps it from showing up again - I got it for the first time a year and 14,000 miles in). Driving home from Knauz to Madison, even though I just had my one year service last month - I got the low oil alert. That thing is SOOOOOO sensitive! Added a quart and all good.

Retrofitted a genuine Red Winch Integrated Front Winch into my Grenadier.
Have included a set of instructions in the RESOURCES SECTION

Not today but on my trip in 2024 to Eromanga I visited Buckaroola Station (Ranch). I really like the amazing colours in these semi arid locations, reds, oranges, whites and those dazzling blue Outback skies.

90 million years ago there was a gigantic shallow inland sea over Australia known as the Eromanga Sea, in the broader area there was a mixture of water and land so marine and territorial fossils are found.

This is the part of Australia where the giant Dinosaurs were discovered. A major reason I was in this area.

More images available on my Blog.

Hello Cooper, Australotitan cooperensis.

The type species, Australotitan cooperensis, was named and described by Scott A. Hocknull, Melville Wilkinson, Rochelle A. Lawrence, Vladislav Konstantinov, Stuart Mackenzie and Robyn Mackenzie in 2021. The generic name, Australotitan, combines the Latin word "australis", meaning "southern"—as it was found in Australia (which is sometimes referred to as "The Great Southern Land")—with the Greek word "Tιτάν" meaning "titan", in reference to the Greek mythological Titans and the dinosaur's gigantic size. The specific name, cooperensis, refers to the Cooper Creek system near the initial location of the holotype, and the nickname given to the holotype when it was discovered.

I installed the bison gear traction board mount to my roof rack. Pretty happy with it.

 

[parb]

Decided to mount the 5lbs propane tank on the molle.
Decided to mount it high and close to where the molle is attached in case there are vibrations.

 

[parb]

Last thing I did today. Moving off the arb work lights and into strand Europe scene lights. Integrates super well with the bison gear roof rack. Got it from Bison gear. To tired to hook it up tonight.
