What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[bigleonski]

Drove it to work.
But before that I jumped on the scales. 25kg lighter than I was at the start of my transition to smallerleonski.

I reckon if I lose another 10 or so I might almost fit into my Belstaff jacket.

Drove to the lake. Loaded up the cargo area with bags of ice. Preparing for a day of remembrance for all of the fallen.

Well done. You just got 25kg of payload back. Cancel the GVM upgrade.

The wife finally rode in the QM. She couldn't understand why I needed it but never fought against it. I have had for months now and no comments. Here is here thoughts
* The cover over the back makes it look much better.
* You made it sound like it was poverty spec but it is nice.
* Is this real leather? As she grabbed the saddle leather in front of her. This is nice.
* Did you get heated seats? Again, I thought this was going to be bare bones the way you were talking.
* These seats are comfortable, much better than your L663
* It rides nice and quiet.
* Are you getting steps to climb in?
* When you start it up, it has a deep bass sound

All in all a big win for the household. The only knock was the deep bass sound when it started up. She has sensory processing disorder and bass has always been something that she has trouble with. She can hear tones well below what I can hear. Some tones makes can cause her to get dizzy. I think she would perfect for Fieldmaster. Just need some more time slowly winning her over and having her come to the decision.

It sounds like you got permission to buy side steps or sliders! Bonus.

Sounds like you have made at least two quality long term decisions in your life....

Hardest working Grenadier I’ve seen was this guys which I saw at the Game Fair last year. If I

remember correctly he moves mobile homes and sets them up. He had full adjustable air suspension all around with a massive winch and tow bar on the front. Very heavily loaded and tows a heavy trailer and uses the grenadier to push the mobile homes around on site.

I'd like to see how he's fitted a front tow bar alongside (factory?) winch.

 

[Logsplitter]

Completely changed bumper on front Big steel job with tow hitch bolted to side of winch. Not factory winch. Can’t remember the make but externally mounted with big spool

Sliders were ordered!

Test-fit a 16" steel wheel on my Grenadier - clears the front brake calipers with a 1/4" spacer, while still remaining hub-centric. Plenty of threads on the lug studs.
Short - term: a 255/85R16 second spare.
Long - term: a set of 8.25R16 XZLs. Maybe.

Tire mounted.
Now I have a full-size spare on a 16" rim.

After just under two weeks of ownership, our Grenadier got its first wash. Damn, 4 1/2hrs later, I can't believe how big she is!

Mine gets washed twice yearly whether it needs it or not

Fitted the Frontrunner Storage System, labelled some Wolfpack Storage boxes and installed the 18l Dometic Fridge/Freezer. Now for some testing…

Keen for feedback on how robust the frame and platform is. Only rated to 80kg so wondering if it’s strong enough to handle a 50L fridge and camping load on top, particularly on rough corrugated roads? If it’s strong enough I think this is the way I’ll go. If not I might have a go at putting something together stronger and just buy the boxes.

If you have not seen it, Euro Flo Expedition has coming a Rear Low Shelf and the Project Simpson.

twice...I am doubley impressed!

Yeh, I'm wary of pressure washing it, stuck on bits keep falling off. Lost 2 wheel centres and a bonnet badge. Gorilla glue seems to do the trick

I lost a bonnet badge. That was on a motorway and luckily don’t smash the windscreen
