What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Walter]

That looks like a much more extreme angle than mine, I guess you have a lift?

2.5" Eibach springs installed at the dealership on Sep 26, 2024.

 

[Walter]

I wouldn’t want to be driving that. Get it fixed before driving anymore. If it fails completely as mine did whilst driving other damage can occur whilst it’s flailing around. Mine broke the oil cooler pipes for the gearbox and I spilled all the gearbox oil out onto the road. The consequences of this could cause a catastrophic accident if at speed.

It will be towed to the dealership. Did you also have the 2.5" springs installed?

Roadworks speed camera?

Nope, mobile camera near Mt Mee, no roadworks, no twisties, no idea. Anyway, my contribution to paying off Labor debt.

No modifications to my Grenadier so far.

Can you post a pic sometime with the bike mounted? Interesting use of the ladder!

 

[Reducs]

Sweet! I can't tell from the pic, but is the rear wheel secured, or just resting against the bumper? I like the idea!

just resting for short trips... but for longer ones I'll just pass a bungee through the frame.

Towed to the dealership—just in time for the Christmas parade, and maybe for New Year too.

Ouch, why was it flat bedded?

 

[Grumpy]

New use for the rooftop power outlets!

 

[Walter]

Front drive shaft failure.

Front drive shaft failure.

Do you have the Eibach lift springs?

Do you have the Eibach lift springs?

Yes. 2.5"

Could have saved yourself $228 if you'd done that in Tasmania

When I first arrived in Tasmania back in 1987 I drove off the boat in Devonport and there was a local council carpark.
At the entrance there was an old cast iron box that said parking tickets 5 cents for 3 hours.
Having just come down from Sydney where it was $2 for an hour I thought it was just a tourist gimmick and didn't pay it.
When I returned I had a parking ticket...........$3

I got my first speeding ticket in the Grenadier today. Well, it was 2 months ago but received it today.
67km/hr in a 60km/hr zone in the middle of nowhere, and not in a built up area. $330.
The mind boggles.

I got done 3 months ago for 69 in a 60 zone.
I remembered seeing the camera on the side of the road and checked my speed as I was sure it was a 70 kmh zone.
I went back after I got the fine and picture in the mail.
Sure enough it was a 70 kmh zone.
I had the fine reversed.
They said the camera had been set up incorrectly.
How many people just paid it I wonder.

They only want the best for us, sorry, from us - our money.

I had my vehicle shipped on a flatbed trailer from the dealer... it passed through various States with automated toll cameras. I only am conscious of this because a few weeks later, I started to get toll violations in the mail, one of which was $82.00. I cannot tell you how many hours of my life were lost to letters and phone calls to prove the obvious: the truck and trailer paid the tolls; my license plate, sitting stationary, should not have to. All were eventually cancelled. In hindsight, I might well have just paid them.

Speeding tickets in the USA are different, as they directly affect insurance rates. I can appreciate your motivation to show that you were falsely accused, regardless!

We mainly use etags that are stuck on the windscreen to pay tolls
Several years ago a company I worked for provided a tag to go on my personal car, which I used for work.
A year later they contacted me to ask me to return the tag and pay a fairly large bill that had been clocked up on my tag.
I told them I had given it to the manager on the day I finished, so not my bill to pay.
Turns out he threw it in the glove box of his car and had been driving around for a year getting tolls on both his etag and mine.

I decided to tint my safari windows. This tint offers 20% light transmission and blocks uv radiation for temperature control. Looks great IMHO and once I get some full sun I'll post a full review.

Teacher at my daughter's school today said, "cool jeep." I died inside. That is all.
