What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[CrazyOldMan]

I just really wanted to paint that pastoral scene for all of you, and provide the accompanying visual. “Sharing is caring.”

 

[TCMColorado]

Painted the lettering on the transfer case knob. IMHO looks better than the unpainted version which looks somewhat unfinished. I think that's a wrap on this section of the interior!

Right on! Grenadier USA should deliver the knobs with the paint already applied.

Just a little routine check and some minor work,
I added the rubber edging to the windscreen, then went around the roof rack tapping every section with a rubber mallet. I’ve had an occasional vibration I know is from the rack and after the mallet test I wound up torquing almost every nut securing the load surface. Not a lot of torque, but enough that the following rubber mallet check returned zero vibration.

Just back from four days at the end of season in Quebec's Magdalen Islands. I had hoped to do some serious offroading, but the dozens of miles of spectacular and all but totally deserted beaches are open to ATVs but not, alas, offroad vehicles. So we settled for several long and healthy walks along the beaches. The first picture below was taken at the parking lot for the Cap-aux-Meules (Étang-du-Nord) Lighthouse. The second was taken near a beach on the east coast of Île du Havre aux Maisons. The ubiquitous red sand stone cliffs will be familiar to anyone who has traveled on Prince Edward Island or on the south coast of the Gaspe peninsula. The third picture is a typical view of the sandstone cliffs. The fourth (and last) image -- taken on that beach on the east coast of Île du Havre aux Maisons -- is (for me) a haunting echo of New Hampshire's (now lost) Old Man of the Mountain.

Been on the look out for a simple and elegant iPhone holder. I don't need or want the fancy RAM mounts. Ran into this perfect solution on YouTube of all places. Algorithm game strong.

Insanely ez to install. Uses the factory center console screw holes. Will uninstall without a trace because the backing is rubber. Really thoughtful packaging and design.

Never thought I'd appreciate a phone holder so much. Love it!

Not quite today but during a recent epic road trip covering 16,000km. The Grenadier performed flawlessly, although I'll need a new windscreen and my toot button stopped working.

16,000 Kms, monumental!

I posted this on my build. Add metal cloak diff covers last week. Kinda wish I waited a couple weeks to order because they are running a sale right now.

Bolted up the @DVA Mechanics Utility belt today. ~40 minutes.
Super fast shipping. Well made and thoughtfully packaged. Even the bolts are high quality and they use a 4mm hex instead of two different size Torx. Highly recommend if you have those door bumpers.

Another day a bit more tinkering...

I had the distinct pleasure of riding with team RRE in Moab. Andreas (CEO of RRE) and his son Tom who also works in the family business where trail participants and trail leaders for all my trails at Octoberfest in Moab.

Both are serious outdoors men who are legitimately great off-road enthusiasts who can maneuver a Grenadier across highly technical lines.

I bought a couple of things from them, including this sun cover for the central display that I installed today. Made out of metal and attached using double sided tape. Mount on top for GoPro and other attachments.

Solid buy from a solid team who i think are truly great people and a really nice business.

Some more tinkering... Someone got a rodent picking at their Grenadiers air vent intake. They installed a nice metal protection plate for it.

I decided to do the same..

3D printed a UHF microphone holder that fits in the Grenadier's centre console. It uses two of the existing screw fittings to hold it in place. The holder uses the very strong magnet scavenged out of a GME Magnetic Microphone Mount. There are several similar setups circulating already, and I tried different designs before settling on a smaller round design instead of the production version rectangular mount. The round mount allows me to grasp the mic easily to lift it off the mount for use. The mount is angled slightly (10 degrees) so that I can glance down and read the screen.

I printed up one of these myself - except I went with a press fit for the magnet out of the GME mount.
Printed from Bambu PLA-CF
Now all I need to do is the actual install of the UHF... it is on my list.

"Noice" ! ...minimalist and matches the surrounds very well! Not having a 3D printer ATM, I might just mount the microphone bracket there with doublesided tape. I've installed the receiver (GME 330Cxrs )inside the cubby. It sits vertically on the back wall. Handpiece "sleeps" there out of sight when the car is left unattended. I fed the antenna cable from the roof behind the curtain airbag, down the B pillar and into the cubby under the console trim via a small hole drilled through the cubby wall for the purpose...

Looks nice. Would you mind sharing the file and a long to the part for the magnet? I'm in the market for a better microphone mount

No problem sharing the file - just making some final adjustments.
Larger radius next to magnet - looks more like the GME product

I tried printing this one with PLA. It came out shiny, but not glossy enough to match the piano finish so will go back to the PLA-CF which gives a nice matt finish.

Magnet came with the UHF kit I brought from GME | XRS-370C4P
They sell the magnetic mount separately
MB207 | Magnetic Microphone Mounting Bracket
But you could probably buy something local/amazon and modify the print to suit.

Not sure where to post the file or what format.
The original design is in Autodesk Fusion

Some teaser photos. After seeing the Evictus rig at Oktoberfest- I had to have them:

Why has it taken me 18 months to notice that I can scroll through the various Waze/Google Maps fields with the shiny wheel?

Or am I just getting old?
