What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Well how life changes in a day....... this trip is now cancelled.
Yesterday while I was posting this my wife was having a routine CT Scan that she has every 3 months to check that her cancer problems haven't returned.
Unfortunately it has returned in numerous locations around her abdomen and 2 locations in her spine.

Surgery not an option so we will find out more next week on treatment options.
Sunday is Mother's Day and the doctor advised we should make the most of it. It may likely be her last.
f**k cancer.

Hey Dave, sorry to hear that and all the best for your wife. Several cancer cases in our family and friends since 2022, so we know well what all of you are going through. Never give up. 🙏
 
On our way to England, we spent three days in Bruges. On Tuesday, we met up with @Jean Mercier near Ghent. It was a wonderful time; we had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.
Apart from his Grenadier, we didn't see a single other Grenadier during the entire 600km to Bruges.

Today I fitted the Almont diff guards under my car, but it took more time than expected. Although the holes for the bolts were protected by plastic studs, the threads were corroded. So I had to "re-thread" them, or better said: "clean the thread". Luckily I had the tool, inherited from my father!

Finally the front diff guard was OK.

Beware, unless Almont changed its design, the diff guard should be modified for right hand driver Grenadiers as @Logsplitter showed in this thread https://www.theineosforum.com/threa...adier-today.12411127/page-233#post-1333294927

The rear diff was quite straightforward (but I also cleaned the thread - I have the car two years now and something like 56000 km).

But i was in communication with @Logsplitter who told me there was another design problem with this guard: heavy loaded or in heavy terrain the back guard will rub on full articulation.

Therefore I removed it and did cut a piece:

Had the Eibach 1.7/1.2” lift springs installed at Owl Offroad (SoCal) today. Got to see a bunch of prototype stuff they’re working on - pretty cool!
