Where do you plan to keep your Grenadier?

[Stu_Barnes]

The question has been asked by @bmore_burnsy and it's an interesting one. Sometimes location dictates and sometimes there are options but we are all subject to this same dilemma.

Where do you plan to put your Grenadier when you close the door for the final time that day?

Select one, two or all three options.

If I've missed anything then let me know.

I was going to leave in the front driveway where my current 4x4 is but my insurer of choice refused to insure it unless it’s usual night parking spot was inside a garage. So I am now in the process of having my old garage door removed and replaced by one that will allow an additional 300mm of height so the IG will get in. The next question is which car then gets kicked out of the garage

While it may sound romantic to leave the Grenadier out in the elements like a real man it is not always practical or sensible.
While we are only 50 metres from the water, and our average temperatures are quite mild, 13.5 hours of sunlight a day and highs ranging from 25-35 Celcius in summer would make my Donny Gray Grenadier too hot to touch and way too hot inside.
We don't get a lot of rain but when it rains it rains.
On top of this the close proximity of the cooling salt water also brings with it salt spray.
So generally it will be under the carport but in time of storms or cyclones it will be in the garage

Ok then

It has got to be on the drive, as it won't fit in the garage, and that is full anyway! (photographs as proof elsewhere on the website).

The hairdresser's car and the old soldier will remain in the garage; the Grenadier has door seals that work.

Mine will be tucked into the insulated monster garage. Any sun fade, water marks, scratches, and dents will happen with proper use (not careless asshats) to the greatest degree possible

I have to win this Grenadier in Australia just to have a reason to stop by at your shed from time to time 😀

 

[YellowLab]

I was thinking about letting it live in my vineyard - roaming about the rows freely at night to protect the vines from predation.

 

[STACHES]

I always say my vehicle will be garaged for insurance, but the garage is always full of projects, so they live outside 🤷‍♂️

Luckily, when I had my oak framed buildings built, I specified they be high enough to accept my Defender. Fortunately the Grenadier fits the same space.

Mine is locked away in its own purpose built shed.. I’m still tucking it in at night and reading it a story before I go to bed.

I cocked up the height of the roller shutter doors and getting it in means loading either 75kg of counter balance weights or getting my good lady wife and one of the saucepans to get in the back which lowers the rear suspension enough for it to get in by about 1mm…!

It’s pretty snug front and rear as you can see…

I built a pole barn opposite my house a few years ago. Back then I was hoping the jeep gladiator would make it to the UK. I made it tall and deep enough for that vehicle, allowing a lot more height fir roof tents etc. Fast forward to now and its perfect for the grenadier! A vehicle I'd thought wouldn't make it off the drawing board
