What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[MrMike]

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!!

Glad to hear that.
At least with a front loader you can lift the front end up to put maxtraks under and in most circumstances can roll the bucket to push yourself out or pull yourself forward when stuck.

Yes, that was done initially, but when the surface was broken it filled with water. MaxTrax were easily positioned with the front wheels when the bucket was pushed down. Back ones ....well....let's just say the shovel was well used.

Changed the oil again.

Mounted my Fiskars shovel and axe with Kolpin HD rhino grips today.

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

They screw into the existing screw holes using slightly longer supplied screws.
I kep the original screws so I can remove them if I want

I had a loan Grenadier with the same sounding PS box. Not quite as loud as that though. Definitely get it checked.

What are you using to mount the chainsaw?

Thread 'Chainsaw holder for Trialmaster'

Aug 11, 2025

Decided to build my own from Aluminum pieces I had lying around the shop. Still have to 3d print a tip holder and end cap for the main tube.

Is the fridge/cooler stable enough attach to only one track (2 points)? No need for a platform where you can anchor it in 4 points? Thanks

Mine is only attached with two points... no problem at all.

Interested in the oil funnel you’re using if you have a link

Got Liberty back today. After having gearbox replaced, replace rear left axle shaft seal, new transfer box cables, heat shielding around gearbox. LRA auxiliary fuel tank fitted. OEM heavy duty black marked springs all round. Airbagman air bags in rear springs. Note the the air nozzles adjacent to the rear recovery points. Reroute exhaust to facilitate fitting of auxiliary tank. Note only one exhaust tip now. Wheel alignment all round.
Drives great. Definitely sits higher although mine seemed low before compared to my mates Fieldmaster spec. I bit stiffer ride but still super comfortable, this stiffness will change once the springs are bedded in and vehicle kitted out for travel. A nice burble to the exhaust sound on idle and a louder hum at motorway speeds but not too intrusive.
Compass Automotive have been great throughout the whole process and always giving progress updates. I can’t recommend them highly enough. A great outfit and Tom super helpful.

What you've had fitted gives you a theoretical 4000kg GVM in Australia, not sure what the legalities are in the UK.

Definitely needed in most Grenadiers IMO, I'm running at 3200kgs with half a tank and me in it.
LR tank is a must for sure.
All set for the next adventure!

What caused the need for new box and transfer case?
