What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Finally got around to installing my Quadlock phone mount. I saw this in another post on the forum. Luck will have it that this base fits the screw holes perfectly. Just had to use two longer bolts than the OEM ones. One of those 3 minute installs that gives great value every single time you get in the car!

Hi Hugo, I have been looking for a ball mount for the quadlock for a while, could you please let me know where you got his from? Also the other mount on the grab handle looks good, what is that one?

This is why we need a dip stick not an electronic guess. It’s the shrodingers cat of a system how do you know how much oil in the engine before it starts?

Have you tried the forum shop. There is 1 design available that fits neatly around the heated seat buttons or where they would be if you don't have them.
Supports the forum too

Friday a.m.: returned the homemade transmission skidplate to the Grenadier (removed for axle pinion and transfer case seal work). Took 15 minutes.
Friday p.m.: installed Agile Offroad's gas tank skidplate. Took 1.5 hours and a lot of choice words.
I did not know or expect Agile's skidplate not to have its own brackets. It bolts to the existing factory gas tank skidplate - which is not a bad solution, just not what I expected. It also implies the factory skidplate to have ... the factory shape, which mine didn't - so some time was spend bashing the factory unit to shape and shooting the scuffed areas (with factory powdercoating flaking off) with RustOleum.
The new add-on skid requires holes to be drilled in the factory unit. Reinstalling the assembly was helped with a trolley jack under the skidplate - I probably could have "bench-pressed" the skidplate but it would cause more aggravation.
Now I have about 0.25" less ground clearance and plenty of room to stash sand and small pebbles in the gaps between the factory and add-on units.
But I'll also have a bit more peace of mind - knowing the factory skidplate could be bent by not much more than an angry look.

Saturday early a.m.: drove from San Diego to L.A. to meet other Grenadier owners. Stu Barnes, Bill Ruttan, and Tony Herrera showed up at the Motoring Club in West Los Angeles - good to meet you all!

It said to add a liter…but I wasn’t on level ground so could get an accurate reading. Had I not gotten the red “Stop driving” message I would’ve done just 1 quart (976ml). Since my appt is Monday if it is burning through oil I didn’t want to have any issues this week. I have to drive to Rochester/Buffalo this week for work so hoping I’m good…

From my experience it never tells you to add 0.8 liter or any other amount. It is - as far as I know 1 liter or zero. Already did it twice, so not sure ...

Mine has only ever read '500ml' on the off-road line.
