What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Logsplitter]

Wouter is the man

I forgot to post that last weekend I did a whistle stop tour to Antwerp, Belgium to collect my LRA auxiliary fuel tank and exhaust alteration mods. The tank and exhaust kit was imported into Europe by Desert Foxx of Antwerp Belgium. Desert Foxx is run buy a lovely and knowledgeable gut called Wouter.
What a set up he has there as well as organising and running group 4x4 expeditions worldwide , he has a great workshop facility where they mainly work on Landrovers. The are also MAN/CAT ex army trucks. The workshop is full of classic Defenders ,series Landrovers, Rangerover classics and a forward control Landrover awaiting refurb. They do everything from chassis swaps to new engine and gearboxes and everything in between. There are some amazing and beautiful machines in there. But of most interest to me were the two Grenadiers in his workshop. One of which was PT02 right hand drive prototype purchased from the U.K. to be used for donor parts. In bits was a Grenadier that had been completely forward barrel rolled over Sand Dunes in Morocco and still driven home with the help of a plastic /perspex windscreen. This Grenadier is going to have a complete body swap with the PT02 prototype car. These guys at the workshop will certainly know Grenadier’s inside out when they have finished rebuilding the rolled Grenadier. I didn’t take any photos as I thought it was inappropriate and if the owner wanted put it out there they could themselves. Very impressive though what they intend to do.

Impressive!

So today @maxmcm came over from Ireland to pick up my now redundant rhino rack roof rack, ostrich wing 370 awning and other kit for roof rack.
Nice to do business with you mate.

I have spent the last few days volunteering at RIAT, (Royal International Air Tattoo), at RAF Fairford. Saw a dark coloured Grenadier there and was flashed by another one as I was driving home. I have a number of terrible iPhone pictures of distant aircraft and a few slighly better ones of planes on tarmac.

Went from Champagne to Alsace by chance last week ;-) and saw the same building.

 

[anand]

It's a pretty big building

 

[spyder6255]

Installed Grenadier USA hood badge and applied rubber molding to front windscreen to help prevent edge chips that turn into cracks …

This is the real home of Ineos, I've only been intending to drive past and take a photo in my Grenadier for about 18 months. This is where Jim bought out the polymer side of Shell. Nice new office block there not really sure if all the pipe work you can see has anything to do with them but it was the best I could get

Got some dust on it in the Angeles Forest.

Finally did some off-roading last week/weekend. Did the Planes, Trains, and Overland trip with Ridgeback Guide Service in the North Maine Woods.

Was a great trip and relatively easy as it was Green Lane. Saw interesting sights like the B-52 Memorial, Katahdin Iron Works, Ghost trains and some very off grid camping. Lots of dirt roads, including the Golden Road, several sketchy bridge crossings, and some great views. Not sure if the “Maine Car Wash” did any damage to the paint as I have a bit of dirt/mud all over the truck. My black sliders were tan at teh end of one day. Did run across a nice Man vehicle. Owners were from north of Sydney and shipped it over which took 3 months.

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.

Hey Adamc1303, mind me asking how you mounted the AUXBeams in the front grill?
I've been looking at those and definitely like the price range a lot better than most kits. Really dig the color matched roof / side panels.
Thanks!

I found a new use for my battery monitor

I installed on each of my two batteries a Bluetooth battery monitor, see my post here.

Yesterday I had to drive to the airport to do an interpreting job for the police, and today i thought: "when did I arrive, and when did I leave?", because usually they do give me a form for my payment, and here they will send it by e-mail. Well, my battery monitor did give me the answer:

As you can see, I arrived a little bit before 15h and left at 16h13!
You can also sometimes use it to check if your repair shop works or not on your car and how long.

I had it delivered
