In principle, I could imagine that too. But then I would have to widen all my field and forest paths.Had to run into town to get cash for a bicycle swap meet tomorrow. Had an overlander parked next to me when I came back.
I found out what Napoleon, both sides of Passchendaele, and so many others throughout history found out – mud is a stopper. Louisiana rice mud is brutal. It completely filled the tire treads, the 18” KO2s, and turned this really good tire into a vertical spinning slick potter’s wheel. Clay also filled the recovery boards and rendered them ineffective. So, lessons learned 1- don’t drive distracted (I was talking and drove 5 feet too much to the right from the more solid land right in to the softer stuff) 2 – I need two more recovery boards through not sure that would have got me out, 3 – winch was awesome and yanked me out no problem (once I read and re-read the instructions.)
Glad I invested in my basic recover gear, very lucky I was pointed towards a tree in roughly the right direction (better lucky than good), glad I had a print out of the winch instructions in the glove box. All in all the Grenny performed great and when I stayed on the hard stuff had no problem.
Installed the Wolfbox 900.
Everything was easy except the part where you need to feed the line vertically at the rear cargo area and going to the rear door.
Ended up not routing through the rubber tube as it was too tight and didn't want to damage any wires. Routed the wire outside with some wrap. Just need to do some cleanup with the wires.
Tested and it is really nice seeing what is behind the Grenadier!
By the way, I got the screen protector and it gives the rear view mirror a slight blur so I may have to take it off.
Very fun to drive. Better mpg's than an H2. Which is fun to tell them.Proper H1s are virtually unstoppable but, they will be stopped by narrow trails! If you haven't seen one in person, it's hard to grasp just how wide they really are. @Tom109 's photo doesn't do it justice.
I drove a tailgating trailer for one of my kids rowing teams this weekend. I forgot to get a picture but I am sure that there are pictures on the internet somewhere. The amount of stares, finger pointing and questions at the truck was hilarious. I forgot to leave my mirror cameras on.

Parents are usually at a race for a minimum of 4 hours. Sometimes longer. We need to eat and relax for that 1 minute we see our kids row past. lolWhat's a tailgating trailer?

Food, drinks, grills, chairs, tents, etc.
First time I saw one my son said that was the rowing trailer.
Me: Do you take the oars apart? What can that trailer possibly hold.
Son: Food and stuff for the parents.
Me: sounds like you are joining the team. lol
