What did you do with your Grenadier today?

The projects never end! If anybody is installing differential skids, I’d highly recommend running a tap through the threads. I was amazed how much junk was behind the plastic plugs
That’s a snug fitting differential guard The guards I used from Almont4wd had to be cut back as they fouled the anti sway bar when fully loaded and especially then when articulating off road. I had to cut the rear one along the red line. They are very substantial though.

And this is why I fitted diff guards. A strike on a rock whilst off road, dislodged the diff cover causing a slow leak. Quite rough track conditions though.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am installing all my underbody protection this weekend, provided the Colonel doesn’t have other things to waste my time with…..I’ll be at the shop installing, and sipping Guinness between each piece that gets mounted. If anyone is bored and wants to supervise, shoot me a PM and I’ll get you the address. I have plenty of chairs, but BYOFB! LOL!!!

Drove from TX to Colorado yesterday, about 850miles, 14hours!

Truck is great, except for the hvac with a mind of its own and maybe the MPGs 😂

Going to need to get the hvac checked when I get back, always the opposite temperature of what I want.

I got out for half a day. It hasn’t rained in a month, making for very dry terrain in January. Despite the lack of moisture, I still have my winter setup on, 18” w/ Yokohama AT4’s (AT/3PMS) for trips to Tahoe. The reduction in traction compared my Yokohama X-AT’s (hybrid) is quite noticeable, surprisingly so.

Finally finished wiring in my inverter that I've had for months. It's going to be for using a heat pad. Been too cold for me to do anything or I've not been fit enough when it was. Just need to get a fuse today.
My next job is to make some kind of adjustable lumber support that will have the heat pad built in. I do have heated seats but with a heat pad I won't need the base on in the summer and hopefully the aircon will keep me cool.
 
Returned home from the central Otago trip. Music festival, car racing and winery visits all on same weekend. Really couldn’t ask for more and then this Clyde dam scenic viewing spot came up. Hard to resist. And then bought the best fish and chips in South Island New Zealand on way home too. Life is truly good!!
