I've seen a few modded Grenadiers and yours looks amazing. I also think if I were going to buy an overlander this would be it, better than anything new on the market.
@@Bodhigrenadieramazing video! This far do you like this better then your previous jeeps for combo daily driving/weekend off-road? Also when a proper lift is available do you thing the 35’s are best or would you go 37’s?
@@GYMGUYFE it’s definitely better as a daily driver than the jeep. It’s pretty comparable in performance to most jeeps with 35’s, definitely outclassed for rock crawling though in terms of articulation. I think if a proper lift is developed then for sure I’d like 37’s for that extra clearance and contact patch, but it’ll definitely need a wider stance, so maybe a 0 offset wheel and cut fenders. 🤙🤙🤙
Great set-up and the TrailRax looks awesome. I have looked at RhinoRacks, Rola Titan and TrailRax seems a winner. I also like the Pelican Vault low-profile storage box. What mounts did you use to attach the Pelican Vault 800 to the TrailRax crossmember bar?
@@JamesSearle-d2d the Trailrax definitely feels the most stout to me. The runnerup would be the Leitner 3/4 rack, but if I ever want to run a 3/4 I would just remove the front of the Trailrax rack! Pelican actually makes their own mounts to secure the boxes to the rack!
Awesome rig, would you happen to have the link to the amazon store for the L track particularly the smaller lower two bolt tracks? Ineos in Australia is charging a kidney to get it, thanks!
Amazing build! Thanks a lot for sharing. I'd be really interested to learn more about the L track supplier and size that you went with? I'm looking to do the same to our Fieldmaster.
@@destination_tbd I remembered afterwards. It’s from van essentials. I did have to cut, drill, and countersink so add in the TVM when choosing between these and factory!
I did not do any ppf as I know I’m going to scratch it to hell Offroad. I don’t want to have to keep changing it as ppf is not cheap. I know how to do paint correction so I’d rather do that cause I’m cheap 😂
I thought the same thing. Plus I hear after about six months the healing properties of the ppf go away. One more question, where did you find the pouches for your glasses etc that are on your shelf in the panel in the center ceiling console?
Nice build and thorough walk through! I’m with you on the silver. Great tip for the handrails. I noticed your front bash plates were black - did you change the plate or powder coat the factory? Looking forward to seeing what else you do over time 👍
@@e2monophonic I just sprayed the skids with black undercarriage paint. Powder coat isn’t cost effective for this area as it will just get scraped off anyway. Appreciate the support! 🤙🤙
Nice grenadier, after you lifted it how did you center the axles? Are the track bars adjustable from the factory or set length? i’m assuming the control arms are not adjustable how did you bring the caster back? i’m considering a Grenadier I really liked him and we just got a new dealer in northern ca. 👍👍👍👍
@@FieldWorxoverlandadventures the factory links are not adjustable. At 2.5” you can get away without adjustable track bars and control arms, but to do it right I’ll need them. I’m waiting on @metalcloak to release their kit. I’ve already had a custom driveshaft built to address the increased angle. The truck has caster bolts, which I’m also excited to get rid of once I get the links in!
@@aguilar1015 I think the absolute necessary options are lockers, high load switch panel, and dual battery. There are far better in bumper winch options available aftermarket and cheaper. Everything else kind of seems more “luxury” like the compass, heated seats, safari windows, or other interior features. The L track can be made for far less. The factory sliders are ok but again, aftermarket has way better options. Get the basic steel wheels and tires to save money there, you’re going to want to change them anyway. Way better aftermarket racks.
Nice build and learned about some new accessories I hadn't seen yet. Does your car fit in your garage with roof rack and lift? If so, you are a lucky man. That's one issue I have with the Gren is that by the time you modify anything it's so damn tall. I haven't got the stones (or the $$) yet to take the plunge, but I still really like this truck.
@@2wheelfish thanks! Yeah I’m fortunate that we have a new build so the garage is actually quite tall. As it is right now it clears by about an inch 🤣 This car is definitely an emotional purchase so you gotta want it and use it for its purpose for it to make sense. It definitely is not ideal as a status symbol for the streets. 😆
@@michaelyapp6099 no, if you ever want to reset the tire pressure low limit, make sure the tires are cold, find the low tire pressure reset in the menu and select it, that will reset the alarm limits! 🤙🤙
@@davidtellez4787 I did not need to regear though I would like too. The car has decent power and I don’t drive fast anyway so I’m good. I feel 37’s will be coming soon so I’d like to go to 4.88’s 💪🏼
Just saw your most recent video regarding the drive shaft. If it stays stock height and it’s used as overlanding/touring rig - will you encounter that driveshaft issue
@@willito1211 it will eventually become an issue if pushed hard and loaded up if with larger tires at stock height. If you’re gentle on it you should be fine
@@Bodhigrenadierthat’s unfortunate. I thought the purpose of this car was TO BE pushed hard. Built on purpose is their slogan. So even stock height/wheel it will eventually have drive shaft issues. Any of these issues documented by owners in a forum that you could share pleaseee
@@willito1211 there is mention of it in the Facebook groups and the forum. It’s a common concern with all offroad vehicles, it’s a weak point prone to failure.
Would you happen to have the correct Caster settings I could pass along to 4WParts next week; as I have an appointment to install same lift and same tires Toyo OC RT Trail 35x12.5R17? Thanks in advance @Bodhigrenadier
@@jrix1765 the nominal setting for caster from the factory is 2.0. Mine is set at 1.5, which is good at this height due to the CV driveshaft angle, much more and that thing is even more of a ticking time bomb.
@@Bodhigrenadier Thanks for the quick reply as I will pass along this information for the alignment. Also please let us know when you get the new front Driveshaft in and also where to look for that as well. Thanks again and love your rig.
@@Bodhigrenadier by chance is JE Reel working on the new front Drive Shaft for you? I was going to reach out to them to see if they are working on any for the Grenadier yet as I have always used them in the past on Jeep builds.
@@jrix1765 no I’ve got someone down here in SoCal working on it. First attempt at a standard DC joint failed due to driveline vibes. The angles of the transfer case output and pinion angle are pretty significant. JE Reel looked at it already and said no go. I’ve been in comms with Tom woods and they had lots of insight. My guy down here is bringing the car back in on Monday, we already have the adapters, he’s going to work on something custom 🤫
@@Bodhigrenadier Awesome keep us in the loop as it’s developed. This week after the lift and tires went on my Grenadier, I think this Front Drive Shaft angle is about maxed. Please pass along contact information once a solution is reached. Thanks again for all your help in advance
@@escdefender not very much at all. I think with the extra fuel cans full, water full, and rack weight plus recovery gear it’s maybe an extra 200-250lbs? When I’m loaded up for camping it’s probably close to 500lb, maybe 650lbs with my wife and son added 🤣
@@timstorbeck5815 I can understand your confusion, allow me to clarify. So the L track is not nearly as useful as a food grade stainless steel rattle free table with bamboo cutting board. I also knew I could put the L track in myself for about $200 vs. the $800 they wanted for factory. Lastly I’m an ambassador for GPfactor so I don’t pay full price to test and review their products. Ultimately it’s up to the end user and valuation system. You may not see the value in the table but others might, or you might value the L track more than the table or vice versa for others.
