I totally enjoyed that podcast as well. Nicely done! I own the Grenadier.

I'm now at 5k miles. Car is doing amazing. My complaint on erratic AC turned out that it was not filled to spec with refrigerant. Once added it ac has been perfect. Aftermarket is coming in with a decent amount of options. I've added rival underbody protection and I bought a set of steel rims...

I'm about 1,000 miles in with my trialmaster. Climbed a mountain and did some water crossing on day 2. Highest longitudinal incline 35 degrees. No problem. Highest lateral invoice 28 degrees and no problem. It's rated at 55 degrees in any direction. I did put on 33.5" tire with improved kevlar...

So, if I read this thread right the main complaint is the price and the tax code (which basically is back to price)? I like the gren. I'm a bit less sensitive to price, I'm in the US where a fully loaded green trialmaster is $90k. Not too bad, a rr is $120k and a defender is about $60k for a...

I had a container come in with my moving goods from when I lived overseas. Got flagged for x-ray. $1,200 down the drain.

San fran is getting a grenadier dealership and service center in redwood city. They said they will have tow service for owners all the way to lake Tahoe. Whipple Ave exit off 101 where the old Harley Davidson dealer used to be for those who are local.

This is so cool. Semi-custom is totally the way to go. Looking forward to learning more from you. I didn't realize this category also has the 25% tariff on it. Rough. What type of mods are considering when you get it?

I know, I would add steelies for adventure anyway so gray 20s are tolerable to start with. Or at least that was my logic.

Very similar to what I would configure. Even down to the color. I would go for the gray rims but otherwise it's very similar.

It comes down to the leadership and what level of quality they put into their SW processes. But i should be transparent and admit that my company updates our customers systems the same way (i'm not in the automotive industry, but in hi-tech). In my industry we worry a lot about having too many...

I really like the Wrangler unlimited. Its a pretty cool car. But i think i really like the style and the little comforts in the new Defender more. But the wrangler isn't terrible. A toyota? Not even on the list. Of the toyotas i really only like the Tundra and the cfo at home has banned me from...

I have to admit that the more i read on the specs of the new defender, the more i like it. shoulder room is 3" wider than my xc90. It can tow a lot. the most that i need to tow is something like 6,000-6,500lbs (and this is an occasional thing), this truck is rated for up to 8,120lbs of towing...

I got to imagine that the pre-production models is what is being used to get regulatory approvals. That can't be too far away from the real thing for basic structural stuff like shoulder rooms and seat height. When I build product at work we get to the stage where we start ramping up for...

Has anyone sat inside the new defender 110? How is the shoulder width? Similar to the full size range Rover? I'm really digging the 110. I was considering getting a 2020 G wagon but the new defender is totally up my alley. I have wide shoulders and need a full size car. My wife drives a Volvo...

I'm in carmel valley and would be interested if it is still available. I can pick up on monday evening.
