What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[INEOS OG]

I don't know that unboxing counts as doing a thing, but these came in the other day from Agile Offroad. They are 1/4" iron for those who want added protection for your diffs but who do not want or need skid plates. The kit includes new bolts and a gasket.

Last year on my Outback trip I visited the Bullo Shire in the middle of nowhere. A couple of images and a link to more images at my Blog. That is freshly laid bitumen in the first image. On the map the X marks the larger area I was exploring.

Bullo Shire – Outback Queensland

During the Eromanga trip in 2024, The Doc visited the adjoining Bullo Shire. Here are some images from Outback Queensland, Bullo Shire. Back to travel is a big objective of The Doc’s rehab. T…

In anticipation of the imminent deliveries, what did you do with your Grenadier this weekend?

Tell the community and share the love, and pictures, lots of pictures.

This thread will remain locked until the first member tells me they have taken delivery.

 

[TheDocAUS]

The thread shifted from what you would do, across to what you did do - after the cars arrived.

This stuff is the best i've found for getting the plastic trim on the ineos go from that dull gray to its original color.

Amazon.de : 3D SiO2 Ceramic Trim Restore, GLW Series | Ultimate Hydrophobic Trim Reviver | SiO2 Infused Restoring, Shining,

I don't know why but on my grenadier the trim seems to age unusually fast. I also have some sap from trees that landed on my car, not to hard to remove from the paint (i ceramic coated my car) but it really discolors the trim. This stuff to the rescue.

Look at this pic. Car has been just handwashed and dried with a leaf blower. Look at the plastic fender flare on the front drivers side. Its been etched from tree sap or something that splashed on it from the road. Regular washing of the car doesn't get rid of it.

2 minutes for the trim restore:

I did all trim pieces and the bumper. Looks really good.

I'm usually not into the whole got to detail it a lot club, but the gray plastic just didn't sit right with me so i decided to do something about it.
The car was super messy after all the rains we've been having and as you can see i have to park under a tree.
I have ppf on top of the hood and the sides, i put it on last august and its holding up really wel.

Added some noise suppression and an owl flat earth rack with powder coated towel bars.

 

[FlyersFan76]

I added reverse lights and can also turn them on manually from the overhead INT1 switch.

I am going to do this as well. Been too cold for me to attempt it though. I already bought the lights and mounts though.

Where did you run your wires through to get into the cab?

Was the sound suppression worth the effort? Noticeable reduction in the "boominess" from the back?
It is on my list of things to do, but I've wondered if the noise is more from the floor or roof...

Wasn't too hard. It did reduce it a bit. It was noticeable but not like an "aha" moment. I really wasn't bothered too much by it and had some stuff laying around so I went ahead and did it. I think there needs to be more than just the back end, doors, more flooring etc... I might do a bit more since I have more material, but it would be just for fun.

I ran them for switch int 1. They connect by the drivers side floor to the left of the pedals on NA vehicles. I then ran them out of the car using a gromet that’s there. I already had wires for my deployable side steps running through there so it was easy to snake it.

Same questions. Also note there is a big price swing between materials - what is the best for there rear cargo floor?

A big thanks to David from Design Build Go for shipping out the wheels and a bunch of other parts to Australia.

Freshly installed, Owl sixty wheels, with Apex valves. Tyres are Maxxis Razr MTs in 285/70 R17.

I bought a ceramic kit for rims, and applied 3 coats and then hit them with some wheel polish. Hopefully that will make them a bit easier to clean.
Owl side steps too, if you are wondering.

Nothing better than getting stuck in, and doing a great job Owl flat earth rack looks neat and versatile, is their any companies that stock them in the uk?

Had a fun time camping near Blue Lake, Utah

The Diesel Heater is a Must Have !!!!

 

[Blackgray]

Installed the magnetic phone mounts that sit around the seat heater switches.

Where did you get that phone mount from? Link?

 

[pmatusov]

Drove mine from Bishop to San Diego, California (350 miles), in five and a half hours. That included two monster traffic jams in Riverside and a long stretch of two-lane, no-pass highway. First time over 300 miles on a tank, to an average of 15.4 mpg as indicated by the pump (not ECU).
FWIW, ECU's remaining range prediction seems to be dead-on, for the first time. I put in 19.8 gallons (remaining 3.8 gallons) with 57 miles of remaining range showing.

Here you go - They were originally discussed in this thread:

Okay I need these but am hesitant to drive to Bahrain from the US unless there’s an amphibious Grenadier.

Has anyone found these in the US…?

I went direct to the dealer and they've just arrived. AED250 each plus AED100 postage to the UK:

I went via Insta but ended up dealing with Ganesh:

Got in for a drive today only to be greeted by this:

Holding the mute button down for 30 seconds did nothing. The speedo just decided it wanted to be part of a left hand drive vehicle whilst the rest of the display was still right handed.

At the next stop a lock, leave locked for 15 minutes (or so) and a restart and all was good again.

My wife was complaining that when she mows the lawn the full grass catcher from the mower is very heavy to carry all the way down the back yard to empty.
Today I went to Bunnings (hardware store) and purchased a really good wheelbarrow to make it easier for her.
Some people say I am insensitive and uncaring............guess that shows them.
Lucky I have installed the fully flat, carpeted, load floor in my Grenny.
This wheelbarrow is 710mm high x 700mm wide x 1500mm long.
Fits easily in the beast
