Needle bearing...

I personally hate the negative offset, filling up the wheel well stance.. a bit too trashy in my book.

unfortunately I can’t go taller on the tires, due to garage fit challenges. Vehicle is just under 7’ tall.
I do love the look of these stock 255 / 70. r18s though. Very UN / NGO / Safari look. Pure class.

 

Just miss the individualization of the grenadiers a bit. But as I said, they are still young cars.
I wonder what is possible with the chassis or for example space for larger wheels.
My 4R is also stock so far, i think many conversions tend to cause problems and less durability.

It will be interesting to hear more about your experiences with the grenadier (at first hand).

 

I absolutely love these. Just a cool design of suv. But the price tag is crazy for what you get.

You went from a 4runner to this all because of a needle bearing?

 

Ronny Dahl has posted a bunch of Grenadier user experience videos. (Presumably the Australian version doesn't differ much except for right hand drive).

 

I am not huge on modifications.. the lift kit for the grenadier right now is not proving to be reliable.. grenadine the cv in the driveshaft.

needle bearing and the realization that the stock ORP need tires, lift, more armor.. ~6k upgrade with potentially shtty results and diminishes its resale value.

for $32k more I can get into a unique vehicle that I have been fomo-ing about

 

Any chance there could be a Grenadier thread? This has taken this thread way off the trail.

Nice vehicle, though.

It's just that when I see a new post in this thread, I'm thinking I will hear updates on the needle bearing, not photos or discussion of an $80k+ vehicle.

 

I totally get it... kinda. It's a very cool truck. I hope you enjoy it. It's definitely more unique then a standard 4runner.
