What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Mike24Ineos]

I removed my front and rear skid plates. I am having them powder coated matte black on Monday. A local shop said 24 hour turn around.

Well I finally joined the very exclusive (not) cracked windscreen club yesterday.
Small chip in the lower centre (still a good 10cm from the edge) yesterday on the highway.
In any other vehicle I doubt it would have even been a chip - sloped screen the stone probably would’ve skipped over the top.
This morning first thing we went for an early morning drive to walk along the river, got back and there’s a 50cm split right across the screen. Didn’t even get time to have it repaired.
Ah well, apparently that’s part of the Ineos character.


Gotta love the timing though. One free windscreen a year, and my car insurance only rolled over last month. Could have happened in Feb.

Bugger...

Keep it. In some circles a split screen model is worth more.

I have a friend who put in the GP Factor winch, said it took him 3 days. I had a shop here in Denver install mine, it was 10 hours shop time. So allow a couple of days.

I have been reading that. I may need to get some help on this one. I was installing my CA tuned arb compressor today and could not find any directions on what wires go where. Should have neen included but nothing. Its installed but there are tons of wires I do not need and when I wired the switch it did not work, I tried moving wires and broke the switch removing the wires from the post. Luckily summit racing is down the street so i have a new switch. I will wait for CA Tuned to call me and get me the proper instruction so I wire it up corretly and figure our all the spare wires. Chime in if you have an answer on this.

Now I have a check engine light on and the cruise control does not appear to work. Not sure if its related to my crappy wiring but i'm bummed as the dealer is 2 hours away.

I was planning to install this ARB kit from CAtuned. Please post the resolution once you have it sorted. ARB is partly to blame. They need to offer a simple wiring harness for those who only need compressed air and not lockers.

Thanks - I'll take a look - exchange rates and no doubt postage will kill me here in Aus - but its not often I look at stuff and think its well done!

Bulletpoint mounting might be available for you. They are really good too .

Have you disconnected everything that you connected. Might try doing the battery disconnect procedure and leave it disconnected for 30 minutes.

I cut the harness apart and get rid of everything else. Positive, ground and signal wire from a switchpros. Done.

I did the same when installing an ARB compressor in my brothers Jeep. But I’d happily pay ARB for a simple harness that does not have to be deconstructed.

Would you be willing share the story files these look great!

I’ll see if I can save the Tinkercad model & I have the .stl files I will happily share on here. I’ll dig into it in the morning.

Been noticing that there are times my Starlink mini doesn't power up or will shut down when connected to Ext 3, so figured it was a voltage thing.

We finally had a nice day, it had been quite a while since I spent some alone time with the IG. Decided to wire in a step-up converter and since I didn't want it running all the time, wired it through a relay that is triggered by the Int 1 switch.

While I was running power to the roof, I also routed a Cat-6 cable to use to get around the wireless only CarPlay/wifi issue into the cabin. This will also let me use a secondary wireless router to get more range while at camp.

USB-C to RJ45 adaptor works like a charm to get wired internet leaving wifi connection for the Grenadier CarPlay

I do need to clean up the wiring.

I didn’t use any of the wiring on my underseat dual ARB compressor apart from the live and earth. Connected directly to the battery via a 2x 40a fused cables

This makes the most sense. Unless you are going to use ARB air lockers the harness is almost useless.

Nice!
Which Fuse Box is that?

 

[Jeremy996]

Spent the day marshalling two bicycle races around Melton and Rutland, one for Juniors and one for Women, using the Grenadier as a portable roadblock.

Junior CiCLE | Cicle Classic

Women’s CiCLE | Cicle Classic

I'll be doing much the same on the 26th April for the Men's race.

I just got back from three weeks in India and one of the things I did over there was visit with the craftsmen at Overland Outfitters (my wife's company). A few months ago I had designed bags to fit in the recesses around the rear door windows and I sewed a prototype for the narrow door as a proof of concept. It worked very well so I made a pattern for a wide door window bag and sent the narrow door prototype and the wide door pattern to them so they could make preproduction samples. The made samples of both and sent them to me but their wide door sample didn't fit as well as I hoped so I spent some time with them when I was in India making corrections. They sewed a new sample which I brought back with me, I tried it in the Grenadier today and it fits great. Both bags mount very securely in the window recess and remove leaving no trace, no drilling or adhesive is required to install these - they just clip in place.

Most people wouldn't run all these bags but I've got them all installed for testing....
