What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[washingthegreaseoff]

Wait until you run across all the Torx bits needed. You know these use metric tools, right?

I have all the torx bits. Haven't run into any problems with that working on the Grenadier. I'm good with metric, standard, and english (if you know, you know).

I've owned about 130 cars at this point in my life, the first decade was all 60's american cars, the last 40 years has been mostly european. Oddly, I've never run into square socket screws in all those vehicles. Not even on a Skoda or a Lada.

Storm Bram has put a lot of rain down in the last day, on already wet ground. So today we went looking for waterfalls. Grey Mare's Tail in spate.

that's impressive.

They were all over my Newmar Newaire - oh wait, those are Amish built too.

I've still got quite a few Whitworth tools around, even a handful of /32 somewhere.

Yep, I've got a whole set of Whitworth tools.

Finally installed a number of small mods:

1. Octodyne led for the key slot - it works, super easy to install. No more scratching around in the dark.
2. dash cam - though, that's going to get rewired at some point when I figure out how I want to rewire the factory dual battery setup
3. tiny rig device holder - except for the silly square socket screws, a nice unit, I only have 67 Design bases right now, they aren't really meant to attach to a flat surface, will have to look at RAM mounts.
4. A Pillar grab handle on the drivers side - got the parts for the RHD vehicles from Warner. Super easy bolt-on, especially if the previous owner hasn't glued a tweeter in the bottom of the old A Pillar trim. Being basically lazy, and not really caring about stereos, I bolted the tweeter in behind the trim and didn't bother cutting the hole for it. Guarantee that I'll never notice and will forget it's even there.
5. DVA Mechanics set of 4 roof rails - super nice low profile crossbars. I don't really need a full roof rack, so the crossbars are a nice alternative.

The big downside, for me, with the DVA crossbars, is that with 4 of them, the rear ones attach in the exact point where I want to put the DVA brackets to hold my 4gal Rotopax over both rear windows. I can mount the Rotopax flat on the roof like I had with the land cruiser, or I can remove the rear two crossbars. Haven't decided yet, but an interesting thing to note for anyone else considering DVA Crossbars and the DVA vertical rear window mounts. They're all nicely made, too many tiny effing screws though, but other than that, nice gear.

Printed a model of my Quartermaster. Not beautiful close up, but looks pretty cool from over 5' away!
