new owner; anyone else's Grenadier come vandalized from factory?

[reidanerg]

So obviously a click bait title, the vandal who defaced my grenadier was the owner would've been great to have a second sun visor provided so I dont have to look at it while driving, but not so big a deal.


First impressions are this thing is an absolute joy to drive. I come from a Sprinter conversion and this is far more enjoyable for offloading, and seems to have all the space I need for my two dogs (Irish wolfhound and German Sheppard).

I have zero issues with steering, even turning radius is no where near as bad as the videos I watched claiming it to be. This was my biggest concern after watching all the videos, but honestly the steering is fantastic and even on the highway at speeds of 80mph, there are no wandering issues at all.


A few questions Ive searched the forum for but had little luck finding are:

1. I have the high amp aux package, are there any uses that are generally considered the "best use" for these switches? Ill be using the outer connections (I believe its etc 4/5) for some exterior lights and RTT, but is there anything else seen as a must have/must install accessory with this option?

2. I have a subwoofer where the secondary battery would go. Is there a post already made on "how to" install/wire another battery without removing the speaker?

3. anyone here know of/part of a Los Angeles based group that has trips to our local trails?
Sorry if these are obvious questions, but im not the most savvy on computers.

That's pretty cool to have.

You're on the right track for the exterior lights. It seems to be easiest if you spend some time really deciding what you want to have before you start with the mods. It will keep you from doing things twice. The build threads on here will keep you busy for hours and will show you just about everything you can possibly do.

I don't think there is a solution for the subwoofer. There was a company promising a bracket that would allow you to move the sub to another location but it hasn't happened yet. I removed mine and don't notice the difference at all. Most factory subs handle bass so poorly that removing it probably fixes more sounds than it breaks.

There is a Socal group on here. But you can also watch peoples posts that show where they are from.
