Changed out the Auxbeam 360 with amber covers, to the side shot 7” with built in DRL.
And added Bison Gear rear side panel molle, with storage space.

It's good there are four instead of three digits to the Member #.

Added some of the rubber mounts that Marty from Offroad Gear Guys provided with the ladder. Can us snug and flat. Glad there are multiple mount points for the rubber stops, to allow for different size cans or rotopax.

Oil Change, as my 5000 mile obsession.

Replaced the rear brakes as my brake indicator started going on intermittently, then immediately.
Very easy and thanks to Justin aka @Bodhi’s Grenadier for the helpful video.

While down there I added the @Metalcloak bumpstops and rear muffler brace, which obviously would’ve helped with my mangled rear skid courtesy of Panamint run with John from Agile Offroad. Replaced the mangled Rival with a new one, painted in my obsession with safety orange. Yes, I know there are other options available, but it did its job already, and they were helpful in a replacement purchase.

Front Fender Damage. Could not find any explanation in your Build Thread for this but wondering if it had something to do with the Owl Bolt On Bull Bar. Thanks.

That is the brush bar I think looks great. Just got a Trialmaster. Difficult install and pleased with the bar?

Yes
Owl and any bolt on Bull bar = accident multiplier
Phantom braking of Tesla in self drive
Tapped back of Tesla
Corner of bumper
The flex of the bull bar on dash cam video was amazing - not in a good way

Thanks. As more legitimate bumpers are offered for the Grenadier, hopefully the bolt on Bull Bars will be less of a temptation. Also, they provide the best way of mounting a winch, in the non "hidden" way, IMO.

By the way, I appreciate your fleet in the driveway, especially that 80 series with what I assume is a Campteq.
