What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[303ChickenMan]

I completed the weBoost installation yesterday, fuse-tapping off of the USB charger in the cockpit fuse box. Quite a bit of trim disassembly to hide the cable coming in from the cargo area up to the amplifier under the driver's seat. The antenna was mounted to the top of the small door ladder. Note for those thinking about the weBoost, it ships with a standard 12-v plug - if you want to hardwire it, you need to order the hardwire replacement cable separately from them and also independently purchase a fuse tap (your local auto store will have these).

I also swapped out the standard 12-volt plug that came with my SetPower fridge to a DIN-style plug to match that on my National Luna Fridge. Unfortunately the NL fridge won't fit in the Grenadier the way I wanted it to (aligned with and directly over the passenger side L-track - it's too l long), hence picking up the SetPower unit (DT-45) which is a few inches shorter and -just- fits. We'll see how it works this summer.

Next up is completing the HAM radio installation, something I've been procrastinating finishing for some time now. Will have the control unit on a ball mount at the center console, radio itself is on the GP factor c-tek mount under the rear passenger seat. Had to re-do the antenna plan, but basically up the driver's side b-pillar out the power port to the forward grab bar onto a folding mount. Hopefully complete over the weekend.

Do you have pictures of how you ran the wire through the door? I’m thinking about mounting a GMRS antenna to the ladder so that its highest point is above the roofline without using my roof rack.

Thread 'DASHCAM - cable run for the rear dashcam camera'

Mar 2, 2024

BACKGROUND
Australian spec 2 seater Utility Wagon, but it will probably work on 5 seaters and left hand drive cars.

The Dashcam installed was a Blackvue DR970X-2CH. The front camera was mounted under the rear-view mirror and the cable for the rear camera was run down the roofline on the driver’s side (right hand drive car). The cable used was 6 metres long, but you can buy a 10m cable.

I did not take images during the installation, with the trim removed. I helped as it was the first time the installer had worked on a Grenadier.

ROUTE
First Adam, the installer, routed a 6m...

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

Replace the bonnet badge with member badge/medallion

I stoke it back on with gorilla glue before the member medallions were released. It won't come off now to change it. I have my forum membership badge on my spare wheel

I did some renovations to the house on the weekend and just did a tip run during my lunch break.
Tip fees $26.50.
Tour of the Grenadier for the operator on the gate $26.50.
We decided to call it even and I drove in and dumped what was needed.
Thanks Ineos.

We have to pay on the way out. After being weighed .

We have volunteers and it's only open 4 days a week from 1pm to 5pm
Some days nobody goes there.
It is a transfer station, not a landfill.
They only take cash and you don't get a receipt.

I thought we had it bad, but obviously not aa bad as you. Domestic household rubbish ( including renovation rubbish but excluding farm waste) is free, even using a trailer but you must book a tip time slot days in advance. Our Domestic household road side bins are monitored on emptying and if rubbish that contravenes that bin designation ( we have 3 bins, paper, plastic and metal, and non recyclable) it is not uplifted.

We have 2 wheelie bins, normal rubbish (weekly) and recycle (fortnightly)
Recycle and green waste is also free at the tip, unless you are a company such as gardener or lawn mower.
There is a weight limit on the wheelie bins and it is less than a Landcruiser gearbox

Oh we've got one of those on Bruny Island. The fee is "discretionary" , depending upon the nature of the conversation.
Deffo no receipts!

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

Just about finished my homemade shelf system, storage will be complete with this and the kaon back cargo door window pockets soon to be released

Not "today", but Friday... Did a lot of winching while scouting a property with some good friends... The plan is to develop part of this property into dedicated off road trails, so we were finding routes and jumping between previous logging "trails" (what I'm winching onto in this photo)

And Justin will customise, if you wish.

I installed a removable rubber mat on top of my diabolical drawers.

Amazon.de : Anti Fatigue Rubber Floor Mat Multi-Purpose Non-Slip Rubber Utility Mat for Entryway, Home Gym, Exercise Equipment, Garage, Under-Sink, Patio and Restaurant Indoor Outdoor Door Mat Black 36" x 72"

Works great, cut to shape and doesn't move around.

Only problem is that it stinks... I should have aired it out for a couple of days before installing it, smells like tar.

Easily cut to shape with a trim knife or a razor blade

Completed my middle shelf, fully installed now. Getting the full length required assembly in the car. The plywood also needed to be in 2 pieces. It is mounted to my kaon side panels and has a plywood middle support.
Shelf space is 440mm deep, 1430mm wide, and a height between shelves of 235mm. Perfect to allow front runner cub boxes or front runner soft bags.

This system has added roughly 125kg
Homemade draw unit - 26.5kg
Slideitsolutions Fridge slide - 8kg
Bushman 35-52 fridge - 24.5kg
Kaon upper shelf and side molle panels - 20kg
35litre water tank behind drawers - 40kg full
New shelf and support 6kg

Next up some interior lighting.
