So let’s just pick it apart for sport. That’s what forums like this are for apparently.

It seems the point SkiWill is trying to make is that the Grenadier is built to a high duty standard based on all available data, not just a tough looking box built with the structure of a road biased Crossover . Yes we are currently lacking information for every possible specification of the...

A Grenadier thread has now become a thread about the Porsche Cayenne. Go figure.

Buyers in Europe are also able to place official orders to their specification with their dealer of choice. The US is simply going to be the last stop on the list. Not a bad thing. It lets the Aussies and Euro dogs sort out the initial teething issues.

I did say based on visual inspection alone. Are they true 1 ton axles not likely. Are they much larger in size than those used in the Wrangler & Gladiator undoubtedly. And based on the 70 Series in I have seen in person the axle diameters are also much larger than those of the 70 Series. Size...

I saw the Grenadier prototype in Denver in February 2022. The axles, suspension links, bracketry and prop shafts are, base on visual inspection only, equivalent to a full size heavy duty truck. They make the same parts in the Jeep Wrangler JL look undersized and not fit for purpose...

BF is out of Canada and ships to the US.

Additional awnings for the list. CampKing https://campkingindustries.com.au/protector-series-freestanding-270-awning/ https://www.rhinoadventuregear.com/products/camp-king-industries-protector-series-freestanding-270-awning Roam Adventure Company...

I bought mine direct from the Autohome US importer. Autohomeus.com

I use Meguiars Premium Marine Wax. Not sure if it is actually any better than the usual Turtle Wax products but it works well and is easy to apply.

I have a small Columus Variant and simply torqued the fasteners snug in combination with blue thread locker. I did not tighten to a specific torque. The tent has been mounted for 18 months and has not moved or come loose. Yes the 6 NW should be 6 NM. I have a torque wrench and could have hit...

Does it not make sense to add the Eezi Awn Bat and Manta awnings to the list?

Why put the battery in the cargo area when putting it under the hood with a proper dual charge controller will accomplish the same thing. Plus if the battery were to become damaged it keeps potential fumes under the hood and out of the cabin. Run a 8 or 10 gauge lead from the second battery...

Putting the license plate on the rear bumper is also a bad move because most after market bumpers will not specifically allow for this and the plate will end up bolted to the face of the bumper as an after thought. Ideally the aftermarket will offer a body mount in the old location.

All models will have an LCD screen because of DOT regulations requiring a backup camera in all automobiles sold in the USA after May 1, 2018.
