What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Jean Mercier]

Tried 3 times to get an appointment with the Ineos dealer in Zagreb, Croatia, because I need an oil change. Three times a different person. They would call me back, but ... nopes.
The first operator: "what brand and model?". Me: "Ineos Grenadier". She: "never heard of that ". Me: "a big four by four". She: "a Ford?"

Pfffff ...

In the morning I did some off road tracks in Croatia, and I have some new scratches. Some months ago I read that somebody lost the entrance grid of the Raised Air Intake (RAI), Therefore, as a precaution I made two smal holes and did put a Colson cable tie, and it proved it was needed: after my off road, I checked the car and saw this:

Explored Frank Raines OHV area (yesterday). Such a fun area with lots of hill climbs of various difficulty and some really fun obstacles to mess around on. Added quite a bit of new pinstriping to the truck too.

No pictures since it's been photo documented many times but...

• BLE monitors wired to both starter and auxiliary batteries
• Hard wired a Victron IP65 to starter battery.
• Installed a CTEK 250SE using GP-Factor's mount in preparation for a Lensun hood solar panel for starters.
• Hard wired 12V outlet to auxiliary battery to run my Dometic CF50

Not quite today but, I put 1ltr of oil in as the screen said low oil level, top up. After checking on a flat surface it confirmed engine required 1tr, and luckily I had purchased a 1ltr bottle from BMW a week or so earlier. I proceed to empty the 1ltr bottle into the engine, now.it says that the oil level is too high, even for offroad!
It always seems to say top up 500ml for offroad driving so for it to say oil level is low it must have been less than that, therefore, how overfilled can it be and is it a problem?
Used to just run old cars until it dropped back down to normal level

I decided to wade in today and plaster the Grenadier floor (front, rear passenger, and cargo compartment) with a 120-mil Dynamat clone.
Taped all the seams with Dynatape.
The effect is profound. At first, I thought my ears were clogged, but wind noise at 85 convinced me otherwise.
Engine growl at take-off: muted.
Tire noise, transfer case whine, some driveline vibration and noise - gone.
Annoying engine drone at 2200 rpm and 80 mph - gone.

Why t.f. it took me 30k miles to do it - incomprehensible. I have done it to many of my vehicles - XJ Cherokee, Aerostar, D1s. Only Classics had some serious soundproofing, and LR4 to some extent.

The total cost - about 85 bucks, and I only used about 18 square feet of the stuff. It is not a quick job - took me about 4-5 hours and two beers, but incredibly rewarding. It could be done quicker if you only lift the floor mats and do the areas they cover, probably at the expense of reduced soundproofing effect. It could be done much better if you remove at least the front seats, but I didn't feel like it. I also didn't do the doors - will do later, someday.

Wired up my compressor that had been installed when I built the platform about 6 months or so.

Did it at the same time as the wiring for the inverter, right side anderson plug, and right side accessory plug for when I install a fridge.
This involved removing some c pillar trim so I had been putting it off.

This is what it looks like with the Indeflate and hoses all packed away in an under seat bag, which fits just nicely once I enlarged the hole in the base of the left side basket

There is plenty of air flow for cooling with the hose bag and platform insert removed

And the setup provides good access to the jack in the factory position.

Added boat deck instead of the Lowe’s mat mod. Seems to grip well. Time will tell if adhesive holds, but a great option.

Just when I had decided not to do this…

Also did the Lowe’s mat mod. Still need to count out the utility rails.

Dude... I thought I could live with a noisy truck. But intermittent daily driving my Classic convinced me otherwise.

Can you please link to the product you used?

I'd like to put something like this over my drawer system so the top doesn't get trashed.

Thanks in advance!
