    Grenadier OWNERS Thread - Answers by Owners to questions from Everyone Else!

    What dealer? Much more info online on these than I would expect from any dealer, even the selling dealer, at this point. There is a Grenadier Forum and lots of knowledge there. A close friend of mine has been thrashing one for a few months now. He ordered early and picked up in Atlanta...

    True but still very encouraging if it actually happens.

    Econoline roof fairing?

    I'd talk to some of the truck body companies. Surely they have a supplier for these, I doubt they make them themselves. Fiberine maybe? They are the ones that make almost all of the legacy van fiberglass roofs used in every industry. But, I would strongly caution against cutting out the...

    STUPID IDEA

    It's a crime that you didn't watch The Greatest American Hero and never saw Convoy (a movie). Did you see Maximum Overdrive? Race for the Yankee Zephyr? The Last Chase? This stuff made me the boy, errrr, man I am today!

    That's a fantastic looking interior and a nicely spec'd ambo! Good luck with sale. Not shopping but purely curious, what's the interior height?

    What Tundra do you recommend?

    Not being a Toyota diehard the best truck hands down I ever owned was a 2012 Tundra Crewmax Platinum. 2012 was the last year of the sliding/fold down/reclining rear seat. I don't spend time on Toy forums but I don't hear very many people talk about this. It's worlds better IMO than the fold...

    Awning recommendations?

    I've had about every awning I can name and I've come back to the cheap imported ones you don't speak very highly of. My current one was <$200 from Amazon. It's a direct copy of the basic soft bag ARB/CVT light awnings that have been around for years. It is about 20# and I can set it up...

    Frustrated Dealers May Succeed in Getting Corp to Reduce Ram Truck and Jeep Prices

    I've been very fortunate in the last few years to get to the point where I can pay cash for about any vehicle that I want. I am not bragging, I'm not rich and not young. 3 years ago I paid cash for the first time ever for a 2021 loaded Wrangler for my wife, because we could and because it's...

    SAR JK r2.8 Cummins conversion

    "My second concern would be the your wife's work vehicle going FORD ( found off road DEAD), and putting her and the dogs in peril!" Hilarious. Yeah, I have to swerve around so many broken down Fords blocking the roadway everyday. How on earth do they sell an F150 every minute in this country...

    Thanks Greg, I'm with you completely. You summed it up with different strokes for different folks. I was surprised my comment was taken seriously at all. Cheers! Let's move on, and thanks for chiming in.
