What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[C-Mack]

With a Scotland flag, in the US ?

Long suffering expat…. Paisley born. I shouldn’t even joke but with the current state of immigration in the US maybe the Grenny and I will be sent packing?

I had Arrowhead Ineos install the software update and do a full one year service, along with the door button recall which ends up in getting new keys for the car.

I also had them install 30mm F/R Eibach Springs along with a set of Kings they had in stock. They did a good job on the alignment too. Truck drives great and the 255/80R17 BFGoodrich HD Terrain tires are a perfect OEM+ look.

Porsche 356

I will go and get my eyes tested !
The average Porsche 356 is selling for about $300,000 in Australia, my deepest apologies for mistaking a Porsche 356 for its poorer cousin, I mean I have no excuse I have worked on both at different times as a panel beater in the early to mid 1980's.

Setup a single vertical 1Up Bike rack tray. Nod to OWL for the general idea. Wrapped the ladder rack with bicycle inner tube so it doesn't scratch/rattle. Thought about using grip tape on the ladder rungs.

EURO FLO fire extinguisher bracket
I installed a fire extinguisher bracket from EURO FLO, at the base of the driver's seat (RHD). The install was easy.

The bracket is made from aluminum and is painted grey.

I chose to have both plastic brackets on the red part of the extinguisher, you could have one on the red part and the other on the black. My way allows a tighter fit to the plastic brackets and I can more easily lever the extinguisher out of the bracket. The bracket's built in flexibility allows you to choose how to mount it.

I put a Fire Stryker onto the bracket, but a powder extinguisher can be used instead. So far, my feet have not bumped the extinguisher.

I also wrote an install manual for the bracket, awaiting approval to release.

Despite its name, EURO FLO operates from Australia and a forum member Justin runs it. @euroflo

I now have a collection of extinguishers around the car.

Eibach HD 500lbs springs in the rear. Eibach 1.7" leveling springs up front. Airbagman Australia helper bags in the rear.

I bought a set of black rhino rims that a friend had scratched up and had them sandblasted, sanded and powder coated in carbon metallic.

I installed Yokohama Geolandar g003 295/70/R17 wheels on it. Just a bit over 33" but I think this is the right size and I really didn't want any rubbing.

Car drives really well and road noise isn't much more than the stock BFG 's.

Those BR wheels are boat anchors. They likely weigh more than even the steel wheels.

Love the Yoko tires. I decided between them and KO3s.

 

[C-Mack]

Ouch!! Who hammered on a clip-on wheel weight to your nicely refinished alloy wheel? I’d be bringing that up with the installer for sure.

With modern balancers and sticky weights positioned properly inside the wheel barrel at the inner and outer edges getting a good dynamic balance shouldn’t be an issue.

Although at times I’ve seen tire techs struggle to setup the balancer correctly for the style of wheel and different balance options.

 

[parb]

I noted that they put weights both on the inside and on the outside of the wheel. I assumed it was necessary. I trust the guy who did the work.

And yeah, those br wheels are heavy. But I wanted 17" wheels and I l only had 18" before.

While my car got aligned I snuck a picture of my "bastardized" skid plate setup. A mix of agile off-road and agile. I think I like agile better but rival was out first and that's what I got.

Final post
Metalcloak gear. Trackbars up front and rear. Not easy to put on (not that I did it but the guys who did it shared the sentiment that I observed). It's super strong and that is partially what makes it a bit harder to put on.

I did wipeout hill in Moab with my Grenadier at the Grenadier fest in Moab!

Touched a bit above 30%. Exciting and fun
I went before this Grenadier and stepped out to take pictures and video.

Test-fit a 16" steel wheel on my Grenadier - clears the front brake calipers with a 1/4" spacer, while still remaining hub-centric. Plenty of threads on the lug studs.
Short - term: a 255/85R16 second spare.
Long - term: a set of 8.25R16 XZLs. Maybe.

@pmatusov do you have more pictures?
would be so great if you could post them here!

 

[Malkav]

I picked up the new project of my son: Restoring a '76 Ford Elite.
I' m still pleased about the great towing capability of the Grenadier!

 

[Loodias]

Tripped between Banning and Idyllwild through the Morongo Reservation. Found some mud puddles too.

I did 37 degrees uphill and downhill today according to my dash off-road mode. Mostly 30-33 but a few spots hit 35 and 36 degrees. Exciting!

A sunny warm Spring Sunday morning and the beast got its quarterly bath.
Tide was out and it was a nice 25 degrees at 9am.
