Does Front Runner make a roof rack bracket for that?

I don't carry a large amount of propane when out and about and agree, I have not compared it with other pits. My thought was that, if I carried a 20# tank, that would also be used for all cooking so not solely to fuel the Howl. Not carrying the large tanks I am not an expert at how much propane...

I was really intrigued when I first heard about them but recall at the time expected price was $899 ( pls don’t quote me ) so I signed up for first run. This was going to sway me to carry propane but with the final release price and fuel burn rate I reckoned it would not be practical for my type...

We are heading down to Baja in a week to attend the Mexican 1000. We will be driving the Grenadier in the Safari Class, which is for street legal vehicles. This will be our first time doing this so I am not sure what types of vehicles we will see in the class but it is listed as a place where...

I guess going back to the original question Buyer Beware. If you buy something from an affiliate link because some influencer recommended it (fair disclosure I have a YouTube channel and recommend products I use and have tested) then you should understand that the big channels make a decent...

Thanks for posting

Although both set ups look nice I do have some questions as to height (mentioned above) if you are sleeping on the platform as well as access to the jack and aux power ports in the back of the Grenadier. Neither solution looks like they have taken that into account. I am considering building my...

That siphon looks like a good solution as, unlike my set up (earlier post) you don't need to set the can on the side. Same type of siphon used in my AEV Fuel Caddy, they work very well.

Perhaps regular smoker pellets would work, the ones like Traeger uses? I have tried some of those pressed bricks before and had pretty limited success, perhaps user error but I never went back to them.

That is very interesting Scott, but calcs (V * A=W) shows 2400. The Power Take Off on the Grenadier website (standard on the Trialmaster) shows the Power Take Off as being 400 watts. Not sure how those two reconcile but if it is in fact 2400 I am stoked!

Some of our friends had one of these recently in northern MI and I thought it worked very well so would recommend as well.

I am waiting patiently. Drove it at the Chicago event and really liked it. Some stuff I did notice-the steering ratio (I did miss that tree!), the lower headroom on entry similar to a Camaro, comfortable ride and seating. At this point I have heard Q4 delivery.

That is a crazy good deal!

A slug of folks got notice last weekend, myself included, that our build window is Q4, 2023. So progress is being made, but I am sure not fast enough for some folks.

Although I grew up using Coleman lanterns and still enjoy them when I need light but my primary light now are LUCI or Luminaid augmented by some cheap headlamps. I have really gotten fond of the green light on my headlamp for night time. But once the dishes are done it is campfire time.
