    Mexican 1000

    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.

    Mexican 1000

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

    Mexican 1000

    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...

    Mexican 1000

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

    Mexican 1000

    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.

    Mexican 1000

    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...

    Mexican 1000

    Thanks for the note. I missed you at tech as we went through Friday morning but hope to catch up at some point. Regarding GPS I have the course in my Garmin Overlander as well as LeadNav on phone and Ipad which I am hoping to put up through the Car Play

    Great Idea for that Busy Weekend BBQ Chef

    Does Front Runner make a roof rack bracket for that?

    Howl Campfire

    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...

    Howl Campfire

    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...

    Mexican 1000

    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...

    Cheap Chinese Equipment

    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...

    Sleeping Platform / Storage / Kitchen Options

    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...

    10L "Jerry can", 11L Dometic "Go Hydration" or Rotopax for water?

    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.

    Alternative fuels for small firepit?

    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.
