Corrugations are what find the seals wanting.
And blasting with a hose!

Yeah that’ll do it!!

I’m contemplating a little drain hole in the box.

Maybe a light spray of some kind of corrosion inhibitor on the compressor itself, wd40 do one.

I would prefer to have a Ferrari badge on my car ...

Imagine the complaints of complexity if you did......Ferrari engine in a Grenadier

Anyone have measurements for the Ineos badge on the side of the truck? Won't be home for a few weeks to measure - thinking about replacing with something else.

More Simpson Desert prep... this time water storage solutions. If you're in the market, I found the Pak Offroad 40L Footwell tank fits like a glove.

(If it's not obvious, the driver and passenger seats are canted forward in the below photo)

It handily ships with a rechargeable tap dispenser so no need to plumb in taps etc if it's a temporary fitment.

FYI Stewart at Pak indicates that a rear loadspace tank is also in the works for the Grenadier.

Footwell Tank 40 Ltr - Pakoffroad

I like the refined look but I have a hard time going this route when I can also fit 4 10L Sceptre water jugs in the same wheel well space. Some places when you have to refill water on a trip it is much easier to take the individual jugs to the water source/store.

I don’t know. I travel with three 20L Jerry’s and that floor tank looks mighty elegant.

I find carrying a length of hose with some click fit fittings solves the problem and I don't have to lug around and tie down containers.

Cheers

I thought it might have been a humorous reference to the limited edition "Camel Trophy" LR Defenders of old ...

We carry a length of hose and fittings for filling it, as Steve mentions above.
I avoid carrying anything in the passenger cabin that could turn the space into a ball mill in the event of a rollover.

Bear in mind this setup is for long term remote expedition use.

For the Simpson in particular, this is insufficient capacity for two people in November so on that trip we also carried bladders which may be a practicable alternative if you’re looking for something easier to carry/load into the footwell and safer in a crash.

Along this subject, has anyone added tie down points in the rear footwells?

Not in a Grenadier, but have seen some use bolt-on tie-downs at the seat anchor points - unbolt the seats/rails, slip the tie-down underneath (at the back, suitable spacer at the front to keep the seat level), reinstall the seat.

I can see how that would work for the front seats, would have to look over the rear seat to see if it’s feasible there. Even if it’s not, 2-4 new anchor points in that area would be helpful.

The Pak off-road water tank looks promising…..do you happen to have the measurements for the width of the tank as it passes over the footwell? I don’t see those figures on the website.


I have taken out the rear seat and the OEM battery compartment plastic pieces and have the GooseGear rear seat delete installed (will be getting the updated version without the overhang).

Thank you!

Sure, no problem. By my measure it’s 200mm through the marked location. The tank has a slight swell to it so it’s difficult to be absolutely precise.
