What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[LabRat]

Looks as though your seat belt holder would fit better the other way up?

Well that was a bust - literally - Evidently these Chinese made products were not sized the same. When I flipped it over, I saw that I needed the one I reserved for the right side. Well, the holes were not the same spacing and when I tried to put it on the headrest, it snapped. At least I'm only out about $30 - was worth a try.

Oops, sorry. I just thought it looked like it would have fitted better for you

New UHF antenna mounted. Nice and lean solution - and not visible from drivers seat (RHS).

Using the KAON mirror mount?

No, you were correct, should have fit better. Goes to show not all mods improve things.

I added the awesome rear door handle from our store. But I wasn’t happy with the lack of grip so I added a bit of rubber to make grabbing it easier (especially when wearing gloves). The strip was about 1”x4-1/4” (2.5cmx10.8cm).

Lent my Grenadier to youngest daughter (22) today to go to a Festival for 4 days. Ten times more clobber for a long weekend than my son took when he went off for a year.

Looking good . I actually like the ding in the wing. Adds character and tells a story. Personally I think the Grenadier looks even better when used.

I'm with you on that.

Glancing at dings on your car are like thumbing through an old a diary. Each one reminds you of an incident from the past. So many dings in my old landcruiser that the meet and greet guys at the airport start trying to record all the bodywork damage when I leave the car and after about 45 seconds just smile and give up when they realise that recording them all would be like transcribing War and Peace. Driving in London with a really dented old car is great - its amazing how many people let you out with a wave - they seldom do that if I am in a smart looking car which they think I am precious about.

My Grenadier doesn't yet have too many honourable battle scars but it will get there with age and my children driving it.
