What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[parb]

I guess i don't miss it as I never sat on the front bumper, i think its a touch too narrow to be comfortable.... I typically sit in the trunk or on a camp chair.

I had a close encounter with a deer at 45mph and after that i've become a fan of roo/bull bars...

I should perhaps state why i like having the top visible to the drivers seat, it makes it easier to see where the cars bumper is at than estimating it off the hood.

We had some great weather today in Durango, Sunny and 55 Degree up at the house. So I had some time to work on the truck.

First thing I put on was work/scene lights also use them in low visibility when running offload,

Also crawled under the truck and put on Front and rear diff guards, very simple install.

PS found out image issue, the main camera on iPhone 16 Pro now takes image that are too large for image attachments, so you need to export them first as medium image size exports

I installed more of the rival underbody protection.
Still waiting for the gas tank protection and I'm done.
It rained overnight and it's not great weather today. Did not really enjoy spending the afternoon laying on my wet driveway but it had to be done..

Picked up the new Owl Sixty wheels which I'll be pairing with Mickey Thompson's 255/85r17 this week to replace the stock 18" alloys/K02s on the Fieldmaster. Hoping it all fits, looks, and handles well. A small lift may be added later.

I've now spent around a week with them and have been extremely happy with this combination. As far the ride goes, it does not feel much different on the highway but in the city I've noticed the steering doesn't take quite the effort as it did with the K02s. The Owl relocation bracket worked great as well.

Took it into the dirt today and threw some mud around. Didn't notice any rubbing when articulated and am continually amazed how easily this beast climbs when it's all locked up.

Made my portable compressor a fixed mount. Cabling, switch and hose connections (one outlet left and one right) still to be finalised.

hi, what arb model is this?

 

[HereinDaRockies]

Does it interfere with the LHD view? Is it actually useful for ingress/egress?

Without a step, such handle would be useful. However with a step, such as the owl sliders, I have found ingress and egress to be very easy. No need for handle on the a pillar

I installed the GP Factor Bull Bar. Super easy except I swapped the uprights so I had to redo those and 1 of the front bolts wasn't lining up but a little push and pull on the bumper and bar and prying with a taped up awl got it sorted.

Made a little dent in the car. Luckily it's hardly noticeable...

I did something similar many years ago. I have no idea what tree or rock I hit or when but someone told me I had a dent. lol

 

[holdmybeer]

The first one hurts the most.

May I suggest mud therapy?

You sound like my wife.

Nice! Looking to add those or the cast iron ones (can’t remember who makes them).

For teh pics your iPhone is taking them in RAW image format so if you go into the picture and edit it by cropping it slightly the phone will convert it to jpeg making the image easily postable.

So this morning I discovered that my Grenadier rear doors are perfectly designed for how I park in my shed.
