What's everyone driving...?

2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali - my daily
2022 Tahoe Z71 - wife
95 Range Rover Classic - sunday driver

Will be making room for the IG. Great thread - some very cool rides and setups on here. Feel like I am seeing the full spectrum of the IG target demo.

Merc 1987 500se
2004 td5 90 soft top, maybe for sale
2004 td5 (alive tuned) 110 xs, will be for sale
2015 sdv8 RR, will be for sale
2015 Audi S8
2015 Audi all road bitdi, maybe for sale

30k+ miles pa and a lot off road. Hoping to replace 2 if not more with the Grenadier. The defenders are amazing but too unstable and tiring on long journeys. The RR is worn out (suspension tired) but was fantastic when new. All road v fast but boring. S8 fantastic but even with adjustable suspension can only do light tracks. Grenadier can replace all but S8 and Merc.

2nd Grenadier can replace Discovery and old td5 90 pickup and maybe a tractor on the farm.

Finally there is a commercial grade 4wd returning to the UK. The last was the land cruiser 100 series. Most of those are still working hard but just too old now.
 
We celebrated my 60th Birthday last Saturday night (actually on 18th December)
My wife organised a cake for me as below.
Unfortunately the 33 degree temperature melted the icing a bit a nice touch and a surprise.

Dave, happy birthday to you!
Too bad to eat, too bad to let it melt.
That's what I call sustainability. When it stops rolling, you eat it! 😁

How much easier would it be to do this with a Grenadier?

Why DaveB? - is it because of less electronics and overall tech in the Grenny; chassis/structural issues or are you thinking of a chassis extension on the dual cab version of the Grenny

Both
Significantly less tech & wiring to remove and replace
The Grenadier has also been engineered from the start to be both a wagon and an extended wheelbase dual cab ute, which for Australia at least will be a cab chassis version
I think there was some talk about a possible extended wheelbase SW as well, with the same 300mm extension the dual cab is getting
Toby mentioned early in design the ladder frame was engineered to be extended or shortened easily, so I assume the rest of the components have also.
It would be interesting to take the two seat base version, extend the chassis by 800mm or more and turn it into a Troopy for overlanding
You could keep, or remove, the rear side passenger doors.
