    Outfitting my Grenadier Trialmaster

    I have just come across this thread and have enjoyed it. You have put up some very helpful information and I am salivating over ordering the quick connects for the rear seat as I had not seen them before. Thanks and hope to see you on the trail one of these days.

    Car and Driver review of the 2026 Gren: Pretty Positive

    Anyone have any idea if the new steering stops will be available for retrofit on older models. US President confirmed to me in a conversation that the driveline could take a tighter turning radius but they set it so that snow chains could be fitted so it would be great if we could retrofit if we...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    Hey All, I I just received an email that SP is closing out some of their gear. On the list is two of our favorites, the Floga accessory for the large Takibi and a small but great item, the dutch oven trivet. One thing I don’t have is the Field Oven but that is included at well. If you are not...

    A New Stovetop Oven Coming

    I do feel that this is better built and designed. In fairness to the Omnia it is able to cook a larger amount of food such as the egg casserole we made in our Stop Omnia Burning video but, imho, a flame tamer is an absolute must for the Omnia. Out of the box the Hajka is just a better performing...

    A New Stovetop Oven Coming

    I have just had the opportunity to test a new camping oven coming to the market called the Hajka Outdoor Oven. I have no affiliation with the company other than writing to them asking if I could review one of their ovens and they said yes and sent me one. They didn't ask to have any input on the...

    It was actually pretty easy. One of our group knows the owner of MexPat movers who are experienced moving across the border. Once we got the vehicle to their subcontractor via flatbed it was smooth move-not fast but stress free.

    Yes, was the NORRA event, not the SCORE event.

    Update on the Grenadier-Sorry with the surgery I have not been online very much. A couple of quick housekeeping items. The NORRA Safari I participated in was not a competitive class, those with Raptors etc went at their own pace and we always brought up the rear as we were not there to destroy...

    Some insights but not the cause yet. I will post up as soon as I hear.

    I lucked out as our chase truck driver knew the owner of MexPat who coordinated the move. Easy to work with but not an express move.

    The Grenadier is now back in the US at Mossy INEOS and we are awaiting the diagnosis. In the meantime we just put up the video of our off road thoughts if you want to check it out-

    Mexican 1000

    I am preparing a YT video about the trip and the Grenadier off-road but spoiler alert in this terrain, which I consider to be pretty representative of global overlandng the Grenny excelled. Comments were made that for appearing to have low ground clearance (rock rails make it look deceptive) it...

    Mexican 1000

    We were very limited on efforts to get it restarted as we were parked on a road that was scheduled to reopen and we couldn't start to tear things apart. We were able to find transport leaving the next morning through a connection with the chase truck so took advantage of being able to get it on...

    Mexican 1000

    The run went great for the most part. The Grenadier did great but could not stop a tube bumper attached to the truck that backed up into me! After some great teamwork to bypass the transfer case cooler to get moving we found a guy that knew a guy and got the cooler back into action. We finished...
