One light bar and a set of fogs. Exactly what is required.

Thank you!

Hi Peter… thank you for the support! Absolutely no rubbing. You’ll be fine with 285/70/17. I’ve spent some time growing my instagram handle- check it out: @kenyan_grenadier 😉 Also have a lot of updates on Facebook so you can follow Aabid Manji there. I’m coming back to UA-cam soon… waiting for my new bumper, winch, suspension and 315/70/17 tyres!!

I’ve been in love for over 18 months now… and I keep falling further!

It’s actually pretty high up, but I still went ahead and bullet-proofed everything with this: instagram.com/reel/C3dH3puM-SJ/?igsh=MXJ6OTJ4eDR4OTk3MA==

@@Kenyan_Grenadier Your mechanic is going to be cursing you getting all those plates off!

@@nnoddy8161 hahaha… they’re really easy to do. But yeah, small price to pay given the kind of trips I do

Stedi C-4

this goes to show you know nothing about cars 😂

Not sure I agree with that… haven’t had a single software issue. And I just got the latest update. The interior is rock solid. Plastic doesn’t always equate to cheap 😉

I respect that and understand what you’re saying. I’d encourage you to watch this as well: instagram.com/reel/C6-8YNFIVRE/?igsh=MTczczV4Zm4xNDkzcw== Also, I do a lot of similar driving to what you’ve described. It’s daunting for the first week, but you’ll be surprised at how quickly you adapt and make easy work of it. I must say there is a big difference in a test drive and actually owning a Grenadier…

@@Kenyan_Grenadier No doubt it's fine on a rough dirt road. But in my case, I drive 400 highway miles to get to the 20 mile rough road to my Mexico ranch house. It's got to perform well on the 400, too. And that's where the LC200 proves it's mettle. It does both well.

No lift in this video… now however, 😂… check this out instagram.com/reel/C5YrPb_ozJm/?igsh=OXU1YmMzcWRnaWhu Eibach euro spec winch lift kit and lots more 😂

Nope…

That’s what want to know too. Hopefully he’ll reply

Will do… amazing lights from the land down under!

Skipped the winch…

@@Kenyan_Grenadier I am currently on the edge of the fence to purchase one and they have one with all the specs I want with a winch. But if I go for one without a winch I save a good amount which I could use for other parts. The safari roof version is only available in the base model with no front and rear diff locks. So for me I guess I would need to get one without the safari roof or place an order and wait 6 to 8 months. So I am still deciding and the other 2 things that’s in the back of my head is if there will be any lift kit options to bump up another 2 inches and the last one would be the resale value down the line.

Conundrum! To be honest, I should have gotten the winch. Aftermarket winch/with mount will likely come in at the same cost as factory from the looks of things. The lockers are a must if you’re planning to off-road (to me the entire point of the vehicle is this). So I’d definitely not get one without the lockers. Once you learn how to use the off-road features of the Trialmaster, it’s unstoppable. Safari windows were a must for me too. My 200 series didn’t have a sunroof and I’ve always wanted one so it was a no brainer for me. I use the windows to get my camera out directly above the vehicle. Also use them to get my boys out for game viewing and easy access to the front of the roof rack. I think they’re really cool and for me very important. Granted they do let it more sun than I’d like but I’ve solved that by adding an extra tint on them. If you want a full roof rack you don’t need them. If you’re keen on a sunroof then that’s going to cost you months in waiting. I waited 3 years for my Grenadier. Depends on how long you’re willing to wait I guess. Hopefully this helps. What I can tell you is, I’ve done 10k km in mine, mostly off-road, and fully loaded- and it’s been brilliant. I got the Eibach lift and 285/70/17s so already got an inch plus in lift. There are further lifts coming out soon. 285/75/17 will also fit, and I’m contemplating this for another half inch or so. I think that brings the vehicle to a perfect balance. You will need adequate weight to make the lift comfortable- I’m getting the full underbody protection kit from SPP Industries in Germany, and currently designing my own rear cargo slide system. That should add around 20kg in the front and 40kg in the rear to perfectly balance out the lift kit I have. Happy to help with anything you need, feel free to DM me on Instagram for a chat (@kenyan_grenadier)… All the best A

Nothing… considering 285/75/17 now

@@Kenyan_Grenadier I had a feeling they wouldn’t without rubbing but wasn’t sure so thanks for the confirmation.

That’s right… it is Serena and the leopard that killed her mother when I was there! Small world!

Yeah… 285/70… so 11.2

They’re just regular window shades… stuffed in there! They definitely help but are far from a solution. I got this “chameleon” tint done today on the windshield, driver/passenger and safari windows. It’s much better. A bit different to traditional tint, it’s a reflective tint (I believe 80-85% making it street legal)… blocks 99% UV and 90% IR and is fantastic at night. Not worried about heat, it’s the glaring sun I can’t stand!

Yes, mine were ready a long time ago. I chose to ship with the wrong company- my own mistake. Shipping to Kenya is tricky. I’m glad you like them, I think they’re awesome!

It absolutely is… bullbar, rails and sliders are all INEOS from factory.

They ship worldwide! Contact Mark: mark@tougher.co.za and give my reference for the spec!

@@Kenyan_Grenadier thanks I checked out the website. The seat covers are only $330 for front and rear seats. That’s a great value as the factory Grenasier are over $800

@@CJ-rk5eg I recommend getting all the covers I got. The dash, centre console and wheel ones are sick!

They’re awesome!

Interesting observation. I tend to prefer zippers because mud makes Velcro deteriorate fast. The zippers are pretty heavy duty but time will tell.

Lift…

​@KenyanGrenadier Will be interested to see the stance of the vehicle when fitted, if you can take some images before & after with a tape measure to show just how much difference it makes. Do you plan to get bigger wheels at a later date? I don't think there needed unless you're extreme off roading rather than touring etc 👍

@@patricksheringham5965 hey, so we fitted the springs late last night and didn’t really have the time to measure. I can measure where it stands now, it’s definitely significantly higher! I don’t plan to get larger tyres, I’m happy with this size.

Diesel

@@Kenyan_Grenadier No

Is this doney gray or inky black colour

Nothing, 6 lugs. What you’re seeing aren’t lugs, they’re part of the wheel. The lugs are behind the black cover

No, no such issue. I would imagine it isn’t bolted tight enough and the sway causes the sensors to go off.

Are you on the Grenadier Forum? Which dealer is saying that - my car arrives this week

Pretty sure I can get you accessories from here. Hit me up if you’re stuck

Couldn’t agree more! My glove doesn’t rattle though. If it did, I’d take it in to the dealer… mine’s an absolute trooper. They just sort things out!

Lake Ellis to Themwe…

There’s plenty more! Regarding the warning sound- I set that- it’s actually a speed warning. I set mine to 100. The exclamation mark was a warning for “washer fluid level low”… lots of bugs, and I have a heavy hand with the windshield wipers 😂 I’ve actually had zero issues with electronics… it sounds a warning if something isn’t quite right, like tyre pressure or the washer fluid level, and in my case for speed. I find the speed warning very useful, particularly when driving here because you can get carried away without realising.
