I’m envious. I need to be on the road again.

I’m envious. I need to be on the road again.

I am envious too. I was planning to go to Morocco in October, but will probably have to postpone it again (already postponed it in March) for private reasons, nothing related to health or any catastrophe, but anyway. I will have to decide it in the next two weeks. Perhaps I replace it with a shorter trip elsewhere nearby. But I have my car

Don’t gloat that you’ve got your car

There you go @Logsplitter. Looking good too

Is that the road to go and get the hub nut tool
At the moment I couldn’t go anywhere even if I did have my vehicle. Steroid injections in my ankle today and it’s so painful now the local anaesthetic hs worn off.

I drove to my local mall today - parked, bought a few things, and drove back home. Grenadier performed very well.

I fitted these headlight protectors to the beast today during my lunch break.

They took about 10 minutes to fit, but come with no fitting instructions, so you need to look at the pictures on the website.
They come from Euroflo in Brisbane https://www.euroflo.com.au/expedition-equipment-1/one-pair-of-headlight-trims-in-aluminium

Well made and shipped straight away. They are marketed as follows This will offer some protection , but is mainly to look cool....!!
I think they are selling them a bit short as they are fairly solid and should help against bird strike and light rocks or road debris.

Not sure how much the Grenadier headlights cost but guessing it isn't cheap.

These make it pretty much impossible to clean the headlights by hand, but pressure washer is the go anyway.

I haven't tried them at night yet, but doubt they will have any impact on light pattern.

What worries me with the light covers, which i do like and fancy having, is that i won't be able to clean them on long winter drives. I keep a rag and cleaner in the car to stop in lay-bys and give them a quick clean. I'm guessing the only option is to remove in winter

Then the holes will look unsightly. Mud and dents are one thing, patina, but man made holes are a different matter

I've been internetting to see if a rear red reflector is easily found in the right size. It seems to be common motorbike size.

Not sure why it is missing.

Bargain!
"All our products are made here.
We DO NOT import products then slap our name on them."

Guaranteed they will be 2-3x the price if made anywhere else, probably even Temu (though latter will be plastic)

 

[Greasemonkey]

Matzker in Cologne, Germany, has also announced a polycarbonate headlight protector. I can't say whether they're already offering it for sale.

I don't know if this is the right thread to post, but @emax will like this
In September, while leaving my youngest son who lives in Hungary, a car hit me in the back and broke one of my red reflectors on the bumper.
I asked the price for a replacement at my dealer, and the cost was 19.40 euro (including VAT) for one piece, without mounting. I did not order it.

Some days ago I made a picture of it, measured it and googled it.
I found a website in The Netherlands where I could buy it for 4.80 euro (including VAT).
I bought 2, and had to pay 18.54 euro shipping...

Installed the DVA Mechanics, MOLLE Panel With Integrated Camp Table. Really enjoying the dual purpose of the panel. Straightforward install, took about 30 minutes.

I noted earlier my visit to Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary last week.

Visited Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary enjoying the views and looking for Myxomycetes.

An example of a Myxomycetes, actual ones found still being photographed.

Steve Young who was with me has taken some images of the myxos the team located. Enjoy:

A short trip down a dirt track on a fellow Grenadiers family property resulted in an overnight stay for my Grenadier. Managed to bog the recovery tractor also. Recovered the Grenader next day, and the tractor the following luckily I had a winch, double line pull for the win!

Your proper stuck when you can’t get a tractor out with a front loader.

I wasn't witness to the unbogging of the tractor, but it came out with 4 MaxTracks and a lot of digging! I was extremely surprised, I thought it was going to be left until summer when it dries out!!
