That is classic John.

On the mechanical side, of course, the Grenadier's suspension is no match for Range Rover/D110 suspension off pavement. I watched John's truck move over the same rocks I drove before, and the 110 never lifted a tire off the ground - which was not the case for the Grenadier.
I knew it for some time now - after noticing that I needed both diff locks in the Grenadier where my Classic sailed through with only a rear TrueTrac.

Well, enough brake and that truetrac can get pretty close to a locker.

I didn't realize John used all those crazy "new age, valley girl" terms. ;-) He must have an underground forum where he talks casual. LOL.

FHS I don't even use "super", let alone "super awesome".

Grenadier is growing on me.

True for my D1 and RRC, but they didn’t have sway bars.

Sooner or later, the sway bars will come off the Grenadier. The way it takes the highway on-ramps without ever slightly leaning is excessive :)
That said, my LWB Classic has both sway bars in place. It still articulates better.
I agree, corners are unbelievable. I'll have to look at the sway bar connections.
