The off road driving video just went up on YouTube if you want to have a look-

Excellent, and I'm more than just a little jealous - I'd love to get a crew of grenadiers together for next year.

Like everyone, I'm keen to hear what went wrong. I'm sure we'll all find out in due time.

Bad fuel is suspected. I’m ignorant about what that might mean and interested to learn. I remember watching a video (Ronny Dahl) where he said the number 1 mod is a fuel pre-filter. Is that device that could have helped here?

Great video thanks.

On an aside.... have you had a chance to inspect the air filter - dust on dirty side compared to dust on clean side of filter/housing?

Sounds like the musings of an ex cruiser guy.

I watched this this morning after the Ronny Dahl video.

Are you prepared to share the result / reason for the end of the vid here @Ragman or do we hwve to wait for the next video? We’re an impatient lot around here you know.

Happy to share once I know.

My other current vehicles are a JKU Rubicon and a 2010 F150 Raptor.

Ahh, the air cleaner-ha-misread that one.

@Ragman , was the chase light necessary in spite of the Grenadier being equipped with rear fog lights?

No factory rear fogs on the US version.

Great video and experience. Thank you for sharing it with us.

On a side, at the 12:25 mark I noticed a IG to the right as you were coming into the stop for the evening. Did you intro/meet that person? Were they from the U.S. or there locally? Curious their story that far south.

And TIL rear fogs are even a *thing*!

They were from the US. It was driven by the camera crew working with the Meyers Manx team.

"Rear fog lights are designed to provide a powerful and concentrated beam of red light that can penetrate fog and heavy rain, which will make your car visible to drivers behind you."
Take a look at your rear parking lights at night. They are very bright, so much so that I see spots after glancing at them. I wonder if that's what they are referring to as "rear fog lamps".
