What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[ColoradoMike]

Hung out at the Red Noland dealership today. They put on an owner's event with light breakfast and lunch was grilling out! Got to meet some great new folks and see friends i haven't seen in a couple of months! @MileHigh and @ForceV4

Finally got around to installing the Diabolical Inc Drawer System. I have to still put on the textured mat on top...will do that tomorrow with the mid-deck install. This thing comes packaged better then anything I think I have purchased. The longest part of the install was unwrapping all the pieces. Not complaining..no scratches, bends, everything wrapped in foam, cellowrap, foam block, etc. The heavy build quality of the drawer system matches the heavy handshakes you get from other Grenadier parts (excluding the multimedia dial on the center console).

I also installed a digital pressure display on the left compressed air outlet because the small pressure gauge was so difficult to read. This allows me to switch off the compressor at exactly the right pressure. I have two compressed air hoses for the right and left sides, which are connected at the same time. This means I only need a gauge on one side, where the switch is located. There is also a preset button that I can use to set the target pressure. It just isn't wired up …

That is very good.

I added the salad bowl to the wagon.

Thinking about painting it red…

We missed you at Moab, where that would have been great. Where did you get it, especially the tube adapter? Do you have a link?

I chose to attend our daughter’s Senior Day on the soccer pitch in SoCal instead. It is her last year at the University. They have a good team.

I am up for the May get together.

I picked up the adapter from Warner at their mobile service station at the 2024 Oktoberfest meet. Warner should have them.

I forget where I bought the Donaldson pre cleaner/ filter from. I bought it before my wagon was even in production. Edit: it might have through Donaldson’s site?

Btw, it sounds kind of cool.

Salad Bowl addition.

Only two Torx bolts/screws to remove the old stack.

I really want to go Tom Servo with it.

It sounds cool.

Mounted my new (to me ) LeTech gen 1 ladder
(thanks grnamin)

Then figured out that Scepter’s water jug base shaping exactly matches the rubber bumper locations on the ladder, making the bumpers useless and letting the jug hit the truck.

So I built a new bumper mount fixture moving the bumpers up and out to make them work with the water jugs.

All fixed up now!

Then I got my pull pal fitted up on my orange DVA brackets

So now , if I actually take everything, it’s full on Beverly Hillbillies/baby’s got back/too much junk in the trunk…. when I’m solo in the mountains! Ugh…

Not sure how "appropriate" this is, but in my mind the Grenadier is the rightful heir to the Defender throne and so I added the "Defender" name to it. I'm sure it will confuse the crap out of some people, but it should be a good conversation starter! Thoughts?

Just needs some prancing camel fender shield decals to complete the badge/emblem mis-match goodness !

One up on a Defender would be a Defendier, yes?

Installed Triple-R ditch lights on RRE brackets.
Solid quality from RRE.

Cool! Where did you run the wires?

LeTech Ski Mount
Because I was feeling crafty today, I re-drilled some old Yakima ski racks to make the LeTech ladder ski function, more functional.

And after a day of Grenadier tinkering … I got this sunset

@Brandtnm
Remind me what lights you are running down low?

Beautiful evening!

I haven't fully finished the wiring but it's going to go up front and around the cooler..I ran my compressor wire that way and I'll just go along that run with these wires. All end up on the driver's side where I'll put it relay to control the lights.

I have a spare agile harness that I didn’t use, if that would help?

I have some S1 bajas in the grill on a simple alloy mount, and S2s in the skid plate sides. I should have done S2 Pro SAEs in the grill.
