[DVA Mechanics]

Installed the start stop stopper from Grenadier USA. Flawless and looks factory. View attachment 7896189

Ps mine is the clear(silver) version.

All this good US stuff kinda sucks. You guys need to find an Aussie rep so it doesn't cost us 2 or 3 times the price in freight.

These sentiments are truly on both sides! We cannot get enough of OZ parts and pieces. This holds true for our IG and our FJ80!

‘Merica! pretty happy with the results on this project. Tip- use a pin for air bubbles.

Not trying to be a hater in any way (I've been thinking of doing the same thing since I got my truck) - but am I just too OCD in wanting 13 stripes and 50 stars?

I couldn't have the Union Jack if the red stripes aren't done properly on the cross. I have enough problems with alloy wheels that go in opposite directions on each side of the car

How about a Garden State Liberty and Prosperity Flag - that's quite smart - though I see from your handle that you seem to have christened your Grenadier Ol Glaurie so perhaps not appropriate

Both beautiful vehicles. However, after 2 years with the Grenadier and selling my Defender 110, I no longer wanted to trade it in.

Test-fit a 16" steel wheel on my Grenadier - clears the front brake calipers with a 1/4" spacer, while still remaining hub-centric. Plenty of threads on the lug studs.
Short - term: a 255/85R16 second spare.
Long - term: a set of 8.25R16 XZLs. Maybe.

We have some pretty efficient shipping!!!

Collected 8 cubes of free firewood - offcuts from a company who make summer houses and timber buildings and stuff. Just softwood but bone dry and packs very well into a wood burning stove.

Grenadier tows like an absolute boss.

Next job, hand stacking 8 cubes of the stuff!

yessir

 

[Baron von Teuchter]

Ahhhh, I was looking for a spare set of 17’s and saw some sprinter 16’s for sale - I did contemplate trying to find a scabby second hand one to see if it fitted but never got round to it (and found a set of cheap Ineos 17’s in the meantime).

Really interested to see how you get on with these - bet it rides well on 16’s!

Drained a litre from each of the coolant tanks, so now both at Max.

Heating and cooling work much better now!

Added it to my public Amazon Gift list and the family finally started looking at what I've been saving to my 'wish list'. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCB7YY4J/?tag=globalgrena0b-20 It said it was for the Tesla Cybertruck but it said L track and it seems to work. Not sure exactly how it locks in (my 'buckles' have a double washer section that I understand how those work. Locked on really strong. View attachment 7895674

Some 10 days ago I saw this post about a bottle opener for the L-Track. As everybody in the world knows (and if you don't know you will never become my friend) we Belgians have the best beer in the world.

I thought: this is something for me and as @anand said that "For a couple bucks more you can get a very similar piece with your Global Grenadiers number engraved " I took a look. I filled my basket, but ... the import taxes were so huge for such a small thing that I desisted. (It was - if I remember well - 57 euro including taxes). On the other hand, I prefer something that I can easily mount and dismount, like the L-track fitting rings delivered with the Grenadier.

And I thought - as a good follower of sir Jim - "I make one myself"

Now, i have quite a collection of bottle openers (I have more, this is only a sample):

The best one is the white one on top of the bottle, "made in Brasil", received it as a present from my (former) brother in law. I copied it (the brown one with the screw) and gave some copies to my kids. I have on the table also two Swiss (pocket knife and the orange one) and an Ecuadorian bottle opener (the curved nail).

I made 3 trial and error designs, made of wood. The first one broke (no picture). The second one was too complicated and too much clearance when using it as a lever for opening the bottle.

The third one was a success, and did cost me zero euro (even the springs were recuperated years ago from something):

This is copyrighted stuff: anybody copying it owes me a

And if your are a professional accessory designer, like our @Bison-Gear friends, you send me your final design for free

Cheers!
