Hi Dave, Congrats on taking possession of your new Grenadier.
Now the start of buying all the kit. Fun Fun.
Tint looks nice. Was the tint applied to the inside of the glass?
DaBull

Yes it was.
Same on the front windows
Rest of the windows are factory dark glass, which is black
I also got the Williams F1 Ceramic lifetime paint protection.

Hi Dave, Weather Tech makes a rear step / rear bumper protector that fits the tow bar opening. Not sure if this is what your looking for. DaBull https://www.weathertech.com/products/bumpstep/

$AUD1000 for the billet one , plus postage
I bought the clamp on one @DenisM recommended , about $70 all up. Jumped on it as hard as I could but couldn't break it. Mind you , Dave is a tad larger than me.

We aren't burning fossil fuels, we are recycling them.
They are just sitting there underground rotting away and going to waste.
We re-use and release their goodness into the atmosphere, which then settles to the ground and so the cycle begins again.

Yep, recycled dinosaurs.
That reminds me that I need to get me a new sticker for the Grenadier! So we don’t mistake it for a Tesla or something.

Science rears its inconvenient head on a forum

Explainer: Where fossil fuels come from

Despite one oil company famously using an Apatosaurus as its logo, oil, gas and coal don’t come from dinosaurs. They do, however, come from a long time ago.

Actually our cars are veggie! I need to put a sticker of a carrot on my fuel tank!

Well as mine was done/organised by the Ineos agent they can take the blame.
I will be thinking about that while driving the 4 hours to them without a safari window, in the rain and hail.
It's not my fault........it's their fault......

How about a chip?

How about a chip?

You mean a potato chip or an silicium based one? And if potato, what flavour would match best on a grenadier?

Potaro chip.
Are you city or country?

california grenadier is here

Grenadier, at our Farmers’ Markets we call it Black Snapper. It is also commonly referred to as “Pacific Roughy,” and if you’re a fan of the Orange Roughy – then you’re in luck. The name doesn’t l…

Apple carplay & radio

• Maps is less than useless. keeps freezing and you find yourself 5 kms past your destination.
• It accepted one of my phones but told me my other didn't have apple carplay.
• It doesn't want to connect automatically and asked me to pair my phone again twice.
• FM radio on the other hand was great. Easy to tune and I selected 5 preset stations without having to use the instructions.
• i find using the knob/dial/mouse much easier than using the touch screen

Larger???
More manly i think is the correct term
1.5 times more manly

So today was a mixed bag.
Rear door open warning started coming on, bright red with picture of both doors open and flashing 'danger Will Robinson, danger"
I got out, slammed them shut and no more issues.
In between calling on customers I stopped at 3 4wd stores in Hervey Bay looking for a rear step that would fit into the standard Hayman Reece receiver on the back.
None of them had ever heard of one, all suggested I just change the rear bumper to a metal one with a built in step.
None had ever heard of an Ineos Grenadier, nor were they remotely curious to see what it looked like.
Hello....hello ....wake up.
I guess that's what you get on minimum wage.

I've got this on the back of my GX. Good step. Keeps vehicles behind you from getting too close. Just an idea

Like King Of Australia, I guess.
