What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[landmannnn]

That still doesn’t work for me. How did you get it working?

I was in the UK waiting for the train to France and started scrolling the radio stations, that french one showed up with a logo and then pictures of the artists playing.
I had never seen that before.

That's curious, because when I use a USB stick in the wife's 124 Spider I get the track artwork. Yet if I use the same USB stick in the Grenadier I don't. I just assumed the Grenadier infotainment head didn't support artwork. Likewise with DAB stations no carrier wave on the Grenadier.

Currently in Friesland, the North of the Netherlands, acting as my mother's chauffeur for a 5 day trip from Colchester to Leeuwarden, then various drives around the area. We are due back on Sunday evening.

Diesel is a scary €2.409/l, road speeds are low, not often above 100kph and there are pedal cycles everywhere!

The Ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland, overnight Wednesday.

Another picture from Heerenveen, I have dropped one into the monthly competition.

My mother doesn't walk too well, so the size of the Grenadier's luggage space is very useful for her buggy to fit. She needs a portable step to get in and that broke yesterday evening causing a minor panic until we bought a new one later in the evening. (Without the Internet, we would have been doomed as there was none locally, we ended up 20 odd km away in Sneek.

Paid £1.92/litre for diesel today.

For our cousins in the new world, that’s about $9 per gallon

Gasoline (91,octane) is approaching $7/gallon (~$1.85/L) here in Southern California. (£5.20/g £1.37/L)

We have to use the step stool for in-laws and Mom when she visits so totally get the panic!

Hard to leave when the weather looks like this at 2pm on a Saturday.

$5.69 for premium at my local Costco but that’s still $1.50 too high.

Looks good. It was 80 when we were in our pool this afternoon. I guess you have to pay the gas price if you feel you can’t beat the weather!

Went to IKEA in New Haven with the wife and kids. Left with way more than anticipated. Thank you flat packing. Owl roof rack makes life easy when doing things like this.

Yesterday.I smelled then caught sight of a guy with a Bunnings trolley loaded up with 11 bales of Whoflundung brand manure mulch.
When the shite hits the fan, preppers are quick to act.
Well done that man. Might take the old Landy down to get some myself.
Fertiliser prices are mirroring fuel now. If you can get it.

A bunch of us went out to play in Anza Borrego

I wonder if our muck heap will become an asset instead of a liability that has to be emptied to frequently

Installed the Dometic/Frontrunner Grenadier Storage system and four Wolfpack Pro boxes. This is a lightweight alternative to a drawer system. It's removable by four bolts and attaches to the utility rail mounting holes (new bolts and spacers are supplied).
I have Drifta drawers with built-in fridge slide and camp table in my Isuzu DMax. They're great but a lot of dead weight and not straightforward to remove so they stay fitted and fill up with shi stuff.
With boxes I can keep them loaded with the stuff I only carry on trips and take them out when I don't need them.

The frame deck is about 560mm (~22 inches) below the cargo shelf so I can still fit my 30 litre weekender fridge on top although the lid will be restricted.
The frame is straightforward-ish to assemble. There are a couple of errors in the instructions but if you read ahead so you know what's coming you can figure it out. It was helpful that @bigleonski let me check out his setup so I had an idea what to expect. Thanks for the tips Leon
A LOT of short M6 nuts and bolts so if you have sausage fingers you might need a dexterous assistant. It's the lovechild of IKEA and Meccano. I put blue Loctite on all fasteners because some will be a PITA to get to again if they come loose.

Got the tiny rig co ultimate device holder and BulletPoint hardware. I’m pretty happy with my selection. Cable management is next on my list.

Are there any cutouts or tie downs on the deck to secure a fridge?
