What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[ColoradoMike]

Didn't do anything to my Grenadier today. However, I did help install the Owl Skids with @BCDave today! Still a 6 hour endeavor but came out Great! Tons of fun!

Got the supra shifter installed.

@parb - how does it feel in hand? Aesthetically, I can't stand the stock BMW one, but it does it's job ergonomically.

I played around with my second hand hi-lift and the new farm jack that arrived today, better to test it before I really need it.

I trust you have a thick plate under the jack; I have 2 of these - one for the Ineos and one for the jockey wheel of my caravan. I cut a notch so they can also be used with the bottle jack.

Ran up above Silverton with my son for half day run up to California Pass

I installed this table and enjoyed coffee and a croissant in front of my house. You have to celebrate small victories. I kinda botched the foam tape and need to do it over at some point though. All set for post hiking beers tomorrow either way.

I drove with it today for a couple of hours. One place required what felt like a 15 point turn... It felt good in the hand, I really like it. I really like that it's a bit smaller, I think it feels more natural from my seating position.

finally some dirty tracks!

Today I did this...
Scroll down for details...

This is an edge weatherstrip protection for the edge of the windshield glass. Several of us here in Northern California noticed that a rock hitting the edge of the glass immediately grows across the windshield.
So someone found this weatherstripping and installed it. After many months several are reporting success so I installed it as well. I could get a nice seam up on the top part of the windshield but I'm less worried about that and more worried about the sides. I cut mine behind the rain gutter protection.

This product from Amazon. Takes a bit of effort in the corners. Easier on a sunny and warm day when the material is more pliable.

I lost my plug on the plastic piece by the windshield wipers. Someone posted that the 18mm plug from Amazon works. Can confirm, works great!

Finally,

Mounted bison gear quick disconnects for my awning. I love the low profile when the awning isn't mounted.
Superb quality as usual.. Very happy with it!

In June we visited the highest spot in the Northeast USA, and also the highest spot on eastern seaboard of the USA. Yes, I got the bumper sticker!

I added a RTT today. Getting ready for a visit to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons next month. I went with the roofspace 4. So far it looks super premium.

Arghh I tried to install this today.. the fit is terrible. The panel wobbles because the bolt length is not long enough to grab onto whatever mounting hole that’s there.. I removed the bulletpoint amps mount for now. It will surely cause plastic fatigue damage over time.

Yup, I’m back to just putting it next to the handbrake.

Saturday, we went to London, so the Grenadier did the "Station Wagon" bit. One surprise was we saw "Tornado" at Peterborough Station. I was delighted to see it as I have been a covenantor for years, mainly for the new-build P2 and the last time I saw Tornado close up was at Nene Valley Railway, when it had failed in service and needed an expensive repair.
(Tornado is a new build A1 Pacific, completed in 2008. The P2 is currently still in build and will be the most powerful steam locomotive in the UK)

My Grenadier is a toy, old men's toy and I decided to put the flags of all countries visited until now with my Grenadier, quite some, but this is easy in Europe, there are a lot of tiny countries ...

And, Jim Ratcliffe being a real Brexiteer, designed his car in Britain, engineered in Austria, build in France, Hungarian steel parts, the water evacuation plugs made in Poland, the Spare parts warehouse located in Belgium, the iconic British Belstaff jackets made in Albania, etc. I decided to put the European flag besides the Ineos word

Added some pinstripes.
