Yeah, i don't have a grenadier, but love all these ideas. Thanks for posting.

minor modification this weekend: Driving this truck has taught me patience, and hopefully a little humor for the folks behind me will garner some good will.

sand ladders have -SOLD- locally

Maybe? There is a little local interest. If that falls through we can talk about it. Shipping will be expensive.

Well, shoot.

Link to Market Place No affiliation I know it's big and slow and dumb, but after seeing these all over Morocco, I kind of love them. Makes me wonder about putting this body on a modern stripped chassis, or just replacing all the part that make it go to have something that can move the empty...

Took the weekend before the 4th to have some unstructured time with friends at Larrabee State Park in Bellingham, WA. Its a state park, so the camping is a bit cramped, but they have hot showers which is pretty cool, and unlike almost all the dispersed camping sites in WA, there is ample...

Price drop - $300

I've got four gently used Wolf Pack Pro boxes from Frontrunner outfitters for sale. All are a little dusty and work great. This is the 'pro' version with better latches and waterproof lids. I also have an extra tall lid. These boxes balance durability and weight pretty well. I've mostly finished...

I took the truck to a music festival last weekend. Man, people love this silly thing. Lots of thumbs up on the highway, etc... Folks would come into my camp to talk about it. More and more people have heard about HiAces and are curious. Adding the TRD stripes tells all the car people that it's a...

with the 2 liter 2C engine, the zero to sixty time on this is "Maybe"

I'm with you, I suspect they will do a fine job of stabilizing the overhang. The significant increase in cross section will do that. I'm excited to see the progress on your build.

I sorted out the issue with the 12VDC mains panel. Each switch has a three pins: source, load, ground. The ground pin is to operate a built in LED. I have all the grounds chained together back to the negative bus on the blue sea fuse box. When I first powered up, the ground chain wasn't on the...

More (modest) progress! Got the counter top attached. I hoped to get a slab of bamboo plywood for a counter, but no one near me has any. this is 25mm baltic birch plywood with 5 light coats of polyurethane finish. The wire run for the 12VDC loads box is just to the right on the right of the...

The low-profile L extrusions tend to be a little flexy. Have you done any deflection calculations on the cantilevered bed section? Also, you might consider Coosa board for walls. It's a composite sheet used for boat building. I've used it for a fair bit of my build. I don't know if it meets...

I'm beginning to think the 3L is lower power than the 2L in spite of more displacement. I have friend who has a 3L in a van and it's super slow, especially up hill. I don't know what your experience is with driving these old NA diesels, but you can't put it in 5th and push harder on the pedal...

spent a bunch of time getting electrical installed last week. It feels like this shouldn't take very long, but then you get started... My battery is on the floor of the galley cabinet, all the way forward in the camper to help with weight distribution. Its a 230aH 12v battery from ACOpower...

Top speed is 70 ish. Going up hill requires a down shift to 4th with the weight of the camper back there. Before I added all that weight, she did ok uphill in 5th. Still not fast, though. I'm slowly working on adding a modest turbo kit (7psi) to recapture the un-burned fuel and get a little more...

There are standards. You have to buy them from RVIA. Surprisingly inexpensive, about $250 for the full set
