Ronny Dahl Bought a Quartermaster

[Brock63]

He never stops whining about not being treated better than everyone else. I used to watch all his stuff, but stopped. I guess he got a Grenadier finally?

No he had one loaned to him for a while to test drive.....he is now in a troopy and an old Range Rover...he turned the Grenadier back in. He has been there and done that......so he is set in his ways but is more known for his photography and videography.... I really enjoy Ronnie Dahl though...no bullshit, no regrets, no apologies. LOL

 

[acky]

I used to be a Patreon of ASPW, when he never responded to my questions in Patreon i gave up,
that and the constant Toyota builds...
I still watch as theres some great tips and ideas that pop up now and then

I dont recall seeing an ASPW Grenadier trip across South Africa! i know he had a loaner (from a private owner) for a day or so in Australia

 

[TheDocAUS]

its about time Ozzie youtubers stop buying Toyotas and do something different, almost every channel "i have bought a new rig and this time its special..." and its another toyota
cant wait to see what he does with it!

There is a shift underway in Australia.

On the last trip (2,675 kms) I had 3 people come up to me and ask about the Grenadier, they knew what it was. I use to be asked what is it or they thought it was a LR110.

I think INEOS will grow in the offroad sector and the Ford Ranger Super Duty will hit the Toyota 70 series and 300 series hard in towing and mining. Toyota will pay a price for demanding top dollar for the 70 series and spend almost nothing on R&D for the last 30 years for the 70 series.

Ronny's video sets out clearly the enormous cost of bringing a 70 series up to a standard to go remote touring in Oz. But Toyota's spell over Australians will take a while to break.

On the last trip Toyota did not dominate the cars towing caravans, like they once did. Big inroads are being made by the Nissan Patrol petrol v8 and the the big US rigs like RAMs and Ford F trucks.

Mr Loves The Sound Of His Own Voice hasn't uploaded any public Africa vid in a Grenadier.

More proof that a shift is underway in Australia. A few years ago they would not even have dared to post such a video.

The LC70 Series is sacrosanct no more. People are taking off the tinted glasses and no longer drinking the Toyota Koolaid.

Such behaviour would have been termed iconoclastic.
You would have been fastened to a stake , and burned most horribly.
70 series Landcruisers are old man's cars.

This might also push some into Grenadier territory
Toyota 70 GXL production pause

 

[Brock63]

The wave is already building....a vehicle with triple lockers, electrical wiring for all your accessories, cupholders and usable armrest on door (big for anyone that drives 60 or 70 series), tow hitch and wiring, torquey engine, comfortable with recaro seats, good storage capacity, etc......as factory options covered under warranty. I am positive the extended range fuel tanks or a factory fix will be coming that will be affordable to cover that one glaring issue they have due to distance covered in western desert trips. The more people use in Africa and Australia the more it will build a following of believers. There is also a couple that are traveling around the world in theirs with their two children.....were in Pakistan and then going to Gobi Desert last time I watched.

Project Wild Earth Special Edition

Our friends over at project wild earth experienced an almost show topping event recently. Here we talk a little about it, and how the Global Grenadier community can come together to support the Priors and help get them back up and running. https://youtu.be/68Z36A9lDTs?si=vmppkf-8s049_8BA...

Their trailer caught fire, there is an effort to support them on the journey.

If they make the 70 euro6 then that means add blue and possibly hybrid...

It's a hard choice between a V8 70 series and a Grenadier. It's an easy choice if the 70 has add blue and a 4 cylinder engine..

 

[Mountain4x4]

This was BIG. I want to see a Grenadier in the 24/7 group next!

It would be good to see Shaun get a Grenadier. He seems to have the most bad luck when it comes to breaking cars or being in precarious predicaments.

Toyota made a mistake with the 4 cylinder. Not because torque has a clue how many cylinders produced it, but because people think it does and product managers need to keep that in mind.

now, forced induction v cylinder volume has characteristic assumptions that tend to mirror reality.

4 cylinder motors over 2 litres need balance shafts, so that adds complexity, 6 cylinder motors don't need balance shafts.
4x4 24/7 is a sponsored channel, and very Toyota friendly, I hope Ineos has nothing to do with them.

And 6 cylinders need the assembly of 2 more cylinders. 8? we’ll, that’s even more. Exactly how complex is a balance shaft? Is that more or less complex than adding a camshaft? At any rate, Torque doesn’t know any of that.

GoFundme doesn't accept my Saudi credit card directly or through google pay, I saw other aussies on here talk about the conversion from GBP so I assume it does take foreign cards. anyone have any ideas ?

On most inline 4cylinder motors above 2 litres, two counter rotating balance shafts are used rotating at double the speed of the crank shaft, usually belt driven, so adding considerable complexity.
Flat plane crank V8s have the firing order of a four cylinder motor on each bank, 1,3,4,2. great for exhaust scavenging, and are almost always under 4 litres for the same reason as they would also require balance shafts if their capacity was above 4 litres.
V8s with a conventional firing order have exhaust savaging problems, but don't have the same capacity restraints, but sometimes use a balance pipe between their 2 exhaust banks to help exhaust scavenging, a V8 flat plane crank has no exhaust scavenging problem.
Inline 6 cylinder motor pistons move in pairs, so are balanced by design.
Torque is as you say torque.

Exactly how is that complex? we've had balance shafts in ICE engines for 120 years. It's not even reciprocating like a piston.

How much BTU is being produced by the burning of air/fuel and the length of the moment arm. That's what spins the shaft. You capture that with gearing. As far the the trucks ability to produce work, the rest is a black box full of who gives a f**k as long as it functions properly and reliably. If toyotas current engine/drivetrain isn't up to par with the previous setup, it has nothing to do with cylinder count, and everything to do with design and function compromises they chose to make. It's an engineering problem, not a 4 or 8 problem.

Those guys were fun to watch, but they have become and endless commercial endorsement…
