Been looking at purchasing a Grenadier for some time now. Been a Jeep family for over a decade, but looking for something that is Jeep-like or better in the offroad department, can tow more, has more umph on the interstate, and has more cargo capacity. Seems like the Grenadier fits the bill! My only hang up is the reliability aspect, although it seems the great majority of you have well operating vehicles. Wanted to tap into the site knowledge on picking a good one, so few questions follow:
1) How difficult is it to mount a winch if you don't get the factory option? Do standard mount plates/Warn winches fit in the mount area?
2) What are some good tests/inspection items to hit while choosing at the dealer?
a) Inspect diff for leaks?
b) Bucket of water on the safari windows?
c) Run HVAC hard for an hour to see if it drains properly?
d) What else am I missing?
3) Who is the go to vendor for aftermarket parts?
4) How apt are the dealers to move off the listed price? What are some of the better deals people are getting?
Thanks in advance, your knowledge is much appreciated!
