What's up everyone?
Its been 7 months now, figure it's time to start documenting everything. I'm in upstate ny, along the eastern border. 10 mins from Massachusetts, and 30 mins from Vermont and Connecticut. I drive down to New York City on a weekly(sometimes daily) basis, and sometimes all over the northeast. Apparently driving a bmw x5 or audi s4 to a construction site doesn't look good, and I hate my dodge ram. So my solution? 2024 Grenadier Fieldmaster. Set up for the specialty composite work I oversee, shuffling 2 rugrats, and then the fun weekend overlanding & camping adventures.
As of today:
2024 Grenadier-Fieldmaster
Rough pack
High load aux
Inverter (pretty useless, working on that soon)
"Premium " audio
Had a deposit on a quartermaster, but this was a demo with 1200 miles on it, and my wife said wagon was better. We're a hatch family.
Day 1: jb4. Started at +3psi, currently at +5. Muffler delete. High flow cat. I have a m coupe race car, and gone through multiple M cars. B58 responds well to this. Ran a few logs, our b58 doesn't appear to be de-tuned but rather rev limited to ~5300rpm. With all that, cleaned up the rear, no more skid plate, brackets, etc.
Eibach 1.7/1.2" lift. Fox steering stabilizer. Adjusted steering stops. Airbag man rear bags. Fox 2.0 shocks. Owl talon wheels with apex quick release valves. 315/70r17 k03 load f.
tjm single under hood compressor. Not complete yet- running air line with quick connect at both front and rear. Also connect electronic remote control manifold block to air springs. Filling up by hand sucks.
Signature autosports winch tray. Badlands 12.5k winch.
Exzeit 5" amber fog conversion. Custom hidden behind grill light(like owl's, just found a slim bar and epoxied in). Not installed yet(this week hopefully) aux beam 3" amber 270 degree. Using signature auto brackets for pod lights at te base of the windshield. Those and exzeit will be wired to ext switches, the hidden light bar is on original switch.
Owl 3/4 flat roof rack.
Dva exterior rear side window molle panels
Bison interior rear cubby cargo basket
Bison rear door table
Ca offroad rear shelf with tote brackets
Starlink mini w/ magnet mount set up
Jbl nano relocate to under Middle seat
100 amp lipo battery install
Red arc dcdc battery controller
Removed connection between starter battery and house battery. Moved inverter to house battery. Added aux fuse panel to last stud on high aux side. 8 circuits. Rerouted the 3 usb circuits to draw from there, as well as the int 1/2. Will probably add additional usb in future.
Agile skid plate package (entire)
Agile diff plates
Agile ram mounts around seat heater button
Wolfbox mirror(wired to int 2)
Radar detector (wired to int 1)
Trailer wiring kit courtesy of Marty and offroad gear. Added secondary charging circuit for dump trailer. Run bluetooth curt trailer brake controller
Top oak 270 degree awning
Top oak 4 person rtt. Custom bracket for easy
In the works: new rock sliders. Wife nailed a tree stump weekend one, pinched it, and then when using it at a slider it decided to move. New front bumper with integrated (exposed) winch.
I use this to tow the m coupe race car, so you may see me towing on i90/87 to Palmer/watkins to nyst and limerock through out the summer. I'm at 28k miles in 7 months, still loving it. Now that it's dialed in, I'll probably try and back off the day to day mileage on it. That, and my b5 s4 needs turbos again, among other things. And the race car always needs something...
