What did you do with your Grenadier today?

I keep a trigger bottle of windscreen cleaner and a windscreen brush in the lockable wheel box. Very handy for a quick cleanup during short stops. I found a tool with enough handle to reach the centre of the windscreen. The handle is too long to fit in the wheel box so it unscrews and stows in a pocket on the back of my M&M rear seat cover.
Yours seems more sustainable; I keep a pack of windscreen wipes in one of the drawers. luckily most along-the-highway petrol stations have windscreen cleaning squeegees as well
 
Wait til summer! With global warming , everything will get lusher and critters bigger , as they did back in the day.
Gonna need a thicker screen!
"The largest dragonfly ever discovered was a prehistoric dragonfly-like insect called Meganeura permiana.This creature, which lived during the Permian period, had a wingspan of approximately 71 cm (28 inches)."
Nature is amazing, it's wings were two large feet
 
A while ago I installed a Baja Design Dome Light on the upper cargo door latch and hard wired it to the aux battery. This gives my wife and I more light for cooking when it gets dark.


It worked really well on our last Mojave Rd trip:


However, when using the table... we had a shadow which was a bit annoying. So I installed a second dome light on the trim above the rear window.




Snap, just did the same for the above latch light a few weeks back but still have to finalise the wiring. Been putting it off as I have to dismantle the rear storage system. I now have more incentive as I need to remove the storage system for some warranty work.
 
Finally got my HAM radio installed. Fished the antenna coax (the very thin type offered by Diamond) through the left side roof power grommet, down the b-pillar (behind the airbag), under the passenger threshold to the battery box where the radio is mounted on the GP factor bracket.

Ran a longer Ethernet cable from there to the control unit mounted on an Agild Offroad ball mount over the right heated seat dial. Should be able to pull the control unit off when not in use, for a less cluttered cockpit.

Went with the Diamond K540 folding antenna mount clamped onto the roof lashing bar. Wanted a spring mount but the one I tried wouldn’t work. Maybe I’ll find a better one in the future.
No pictures?!?
 
Testing the new RTT today - so far I am very hapky

Sorry, I suck. :D I was too focused on getting it done (the soundtrack would probably be hilarious though, some "colorful" language throughout most of it). I'll take some "after" pictures, but yeah, they won't be as helpful as if I'd taken any while doing the work.
 
I am sure there is power in the door somewhere... I decided to not chance a random fault code by tapping into the harness and ran a line to the aux battery.
I did the same with the Touch Light I installed in the GP Factor table's cubby - easier to just run to the aux battery.
