What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[LabRat]

Also learnt via a Ronny Dahl video we have a telescopic steering wheel, another addition to the MY23 handbook.

Me too - had no idea it was telescopic.

This weekends project was to adding solar power to the Grenadier. I’ve had the Ecoflow Glacier fridge powered off the rear 12v plug and it works great but I can usually get about 2 nights (without starting the truck) out of the fridges built in 298wh battery before it goes dead. One of the other great features of this fridge is that it has a built in MPPT solar charger and can take up to 200w of solar power. I added a Renergy 200w solar panel to the custom crossbars on my roof top tent. I ran the power cables through the rear driver’s side roof power panel. I used the factory style Deutsch style connector inside the factory cover to be able to detach the exterior harness.

I wouldn't call it off roading but on my way home from the Shore yesterday there was a road closure. Took a power line trail as a detour with 30other people.

Honestly not sure why that person in the Camry thought following us was a good idea though. Oh, and my toot horn is now muffled. lol

Got mine back from local service dealer today. Was in a week ago for its second service and a main battery replacement. New battery didn’t solve the issue I was having (battery drain and discharging at 110A!) - Ineos replaced the alternator under warranty. Pretty good service I think, alternator was ordered on Wed PM, arrived Friday PM and fitted Monday AM.

Same here!

Brought my 2024 IG into my dealer, Rusnak Pasadena, CA, for the software update and a number of recall items today. The big one was to replace all the lock mechanisms on all doors and a new ignition switch. Took nearly all day. Got it done same day and drove home 90 miles. I think the car runs better, at least I like the acceleration curve/throttle response improvement. I didn't really need new locks, such a waste of time and the company's money. It's all run by lawyers. But the fucking ADAS nightmare is over!

Dropped the Wombat off for a play date with a whole lot of other grennies.
20k oil and a couple of simple warranty fixes while I’m in Melbourne for a couple days.

Oh, and the granddaughter got off the roof eventually.

I bought a second hand hi-lift for 100 € from a former Defender owner who thought my car was an IVECO

The extension of the lever is from a brand known as Ineos, and was necessary because or I wasn't strong enough or my weight isn't sufficient

Just got this done, stay tuned for pictures… here is a sneak peek.

Is that the (new) Banyo home of the Ignition service dept?

After weeks of shipping, my grenadier finally arrived on island. Went to the BMV to register it, and they were stumped. Ineos Grenadier was not in the drop down menu. The final decision was to issue paperwork on a Landrover Defender Custom. Lol. They worked with IT to get Ineos added. Called back in the afternoon to pick up a new title and registration with Ineos Grenadier.
So for whoever is the next Grenadier owner in the US Virgin Islands, you are welcome for the 4 hours I spent convincing the government that it’s not a Defender!
Beach day next!

 

[Dreadfully Distinct]

Good for you brother! I hope the registration process is the end of any problems you may have. Seriously. Enjoy your rig!

 

[Itsdchz]

Added the @GPFACTOR rear cubby table!
Was going to install the new license plate bracket, however, it will not work with my reviver license plate.

Yes sir - much easier to find a park now.

Today I went up the ski slopes I use to down in winter times

Beach day with it’s much older cousin.

I did something similar and had the screws vibrate out on washboard roads.

Arghh I tried to install this today.. the fit is terrible. The panel wobbles because the bolt length is not long enough to grab onto whatever mounting hole that’s there.. I removed the bulletpoint amps mount for now. It will surely cause plastic fatigue damage over time.

I had that issue in Massachusetts. Bought my Grenny in Connecticut and the DMV in Mass took almost 1 week before they added it to the system! The dealer in Mass clearly hadn’t reached out to the DMV. Mine was registered then the next day the dealer started registering vehicles…

Interesting thing was that the dealer in Mass couldn’t start selling due to local municipal issues for a couple of months after vehicles began arriving stateside. They had plenty of time to to get this sorted.
