I was really surprised when they told me they could do the update. Wasn't expected. I just mentioned I knew about it and at least needed the CEL Fuel fault cleared.

They did my CTEK hookup install if that's something you're interested in they did a very nice job and have the kinks worked out. Had them do that and the BD off road light upgrade kit from Agile since they were both involved projects.

A quick pic of my « communication » rig. The base holder is done in Belgium by D&G and offers creative possibilities. The mike from the IC-7100 (on top above the main screen) holds with a magnet. Both handheld devices hang with clips found on Amazon. If needed I can remove the center sign. Considering to add a holder for GPS on top at the far right. Let’s see.

I spoke with RDS a few weeks ago... the software update is being made available on a LIFO basis e.g. trucks with later build dates are eligible first it seems. No idea why, but they told me as of Memorial day that my late build 2024 was not yet eligible. I am going to new MN dealership 6/20 for an oil change (I always do one around 1K), fix the door hinge bolt I mangled when trying to install Buzz step, will see about SW update while I am there too.

What happened with the Buzz Overland step installation?

What happened with the Buzz Overland step installation?

Driver side is on no problem, passenger still TBD. Stripped the one T50 that was over torqued and had a lot of paint on the head. Long story short I pulled it onto the shop floor at my office and two of the lead mechanics drilled out the head, which finally came loose after an hour, now we need to deal with the threaded portion that's still in there. Worst-case scenario it's go to dealer next week for an oil change I'll let them address it.

I do love the step on the driver side it's very well made and makes roof access a breeze (I'm 5'9"). Upside of the big headache with the broken bolt... general consensus of guys who build $500K+ equipment for a living is the Grenadier is built like a tank.

I was sure I'd strip one of them, so I opted for a small step stool that fits nicely on the BG cargo shelf and I can move it around as needed. Cheap $20 alternative. Doesn't look as cool, but more functional for me.

Did the same in my X5, very good low cost solution. For now I’ll just load everything on the driver side where the step’s installed

I would have just gone step stool but main use for roof is recovery boards and skis, in either case getting solid footing for stool likely problematic. Bikes are going on the hitch with a 1up rack then fuel I’ll side mount or ladder mount.

I use mine mainly for packing up my awning, but comes in handy for washing the windshield, so learned moving it around was more important. I also regularly use the ladder to get up onto the roof to unpack and pack my RTT, so I still need the functionality and can't mount a bunch of stuff to the ladder.
