Huh, that doesn't sound like John. WTH? "super awesome", "express yourself", "rookied out kustum", and "Circle of life"? and then call someone else a douche?

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.
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.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

Sounds like something a soy mocha snazzle dazzle whipped cream butt-loving, skinny jean wearing fanboy would say...
9k miles in 160 days of ownership... I need to drive my Classic more.
I started logging the gas pump numbers at mile 870; the odometer is incredibly accurate, within 0.1-0.2%.
Here's the gas mileage record up to ~9000 miles yesterday:
The total mileage in the log divided by the pump gallon numbers total is 14.0092 mpg.
Everything above 14mpg mark is country roads or dirt, everything at and below 14 mpg - freeway. Everything near 12.5 mpg - Interstate 15.

The obvious joke would be "I take the Fifth," but the truth is that in most cases I am a ~90-percentile driver (excluding driving in carpool/express lane when the rest of the traffic is jammed).
The I-15 dips in that plot are in Utah (where speed limit is 80, and even the big rigs drive 5-10 over), and in California's Mojave desert. A sustained 90 mph in the Grenadier is perfectly possible, and with a folded baby crib on the roof rack, it sucks gas at a pace of ~11.5 mpg.
Only 91+. It is a high-compression, turbocharged engine - it would likely kill the boost and retard the ignition if it ever heard detonation.
