Granger appreciation thread

Love my DeClasse Granger! Have one without the Pushbar as a Black (Classic Paint) Unmarked Unit/Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) Vehicle. Got the Muscle Rims that the Sheriff's SUV, FIB SUV, and the Park Ranger SUV uses (can't think of the name of it currently, it's located right below the Fairlie Rims, it might be named Spooner).

Also: The one without the Pushbar looks exactly like the FIB SUV, the only difference being the antenna's and the Code 3 Equipment. Used to have another Granger exactly the same except it had the Pushbar and Off-Road Mil-Spec Steele tires. I replaced it with the one I currently own.

I had a Blaine County Sheriff Granger blacked out until R* yanked it from me when they changed the rules about storing emergency vehicles. I love the pushbar... I wish we had the option to add the pushbar used on the SWAT Grangers.

 

 

It's not Blaine County Sheriff, it's Los Santos County Sheriff's Department (LSSD), they never bothered to give Blaine County it's own Law Enforcement and Fire & EMS. The County line between Los Santos County and Blaine County is Route 68. Same thing with the Police Boats, they spawn the LSPD Officers near Los Santos, when not near Los Santos, it's the Coast Guard on the LSPD boats. Davis and Chumash are separate cities, but Rockstar never bothered to make the Sheriff's Department spawn there. The fire truck is apparently both LSFD and LS County FD. I hate they took emergency vehicles away. I think the Police version of the Granger is slightly faster than the civilian variant. Rename the FIB SUV to DeClasse Granger Unmarked and allow the LSSD and LSPD to use it for patrol.

 

When I had mine it was Blaine County Sheriff... they changed it and took Blaine County's own law enforcement from them and dissolved into LSSD. That was part of the hotfix in order keep from storing a Sheriff Granger, which is why it just disappeared from my garage when the change hit... the trick was to go to Blain County, get a 4 star wanted level, then call Lester and have him remove your wanted level, then take the Sheriff Granger and store it. It wouldnt work with an LSSD truck, so you had to go to BC to get it.

 

At least that's how it was on Xbox...

 

I love the Granger. So far the ones on the pics here have wheels that don't suit it at all.

That's all based on your opinion man... I love the way my wheels look on it, and I like the others as well... as long as you like the Granger, no matter what your wheel preference is, then thats what this post is about! ;)

Why does everyone who start an appreciation thread not prepared for it? If you want to start an appreciation thread, YOU BETTER BRING PICTURES.

 

 

... where's yours?

 

I don't own one. I posted that for the sole reason why people start an appreciation thread, and not have pictures to go with it.

 

I'll give you credit on the principal that I should've started with pics ready, since this was started with the idea of seeing peoples rides... I was bored at work and wanted to see what everybody had. But, at the same time, if you don't have a Granger, then why are you even chiming in about it?? If you dont intend on adding to it positively, then you're just as bad for not having anything to contribute but b*tching and moaning.

 

But I do agree, it does happen a lot, and I should have waited till I had pics... but please, stop whining...

 

You're only think I'm whining because that is what your taking it in as. Take it in a different view and you might have a different perspective.

 

I also view these appreciation threads because I love to look at what people have for their cars. I like seeing how people customize, how they picture it, etc etc.

 

As I do admit I am kind of filling this thread with some bitching, I have expressed my question why people bother to post an appreciation thread and not show pictures. The rest is a rebuttal to your replies. I am sorry that I am not going with the flow on this thread.

Honestly, I do see your perspective on it... and I agree, you're right, as I should have waited until I had pics ready. A lot of others do it as well, and I definitely see the aggravation in it, because I go onto these threads for the same reason as you do. I just wanted to keep it as positive as it can be here.

 

As you can admit your bad, I admit mine as well... sorry to call you a whiner. Peace in the hood? :cool:

do you guys prefer the one with the bar in front or is that simply the version you found?

Found one with the bar, actually...

 

Main crew vehicle and a good choice at that. It's not eye catching as we just have them black with the emblem on the hood, but it's a decent looking car.

Performs pretty well despite it's size and can take a licking!

 

Throw in protection upgrades, a turbo (have yet to unlock the high level performance upgrades) and it's a great crew/mission car.

When I got mine there were Grangers everywhere, with and without bullbars, so I had a choice. I love the bullbar on the front... I wish we had the option of putting the police pushbar on it actually. The bar looks mean as hell to me, and I actually think it helps the truck maintain structure in a head-on... which has happened a couple times in mine lol :whistle:

When you buy it it always comes with a front bull bar.

 

 

... why would you buy it? They're everywhere... not ALL the time, but they do show up regularly...

Dis be mine

It's not a car I think I'd ever have space for in my Garage, but if I see it when I'm roaming around, I'll definitely take it for a spin.

Off the street version has no comparison to one that's been fully upgraded... of course I'm not suggesting you spend $$ on a ride that's not appealing to you, just saying you wont get it's best day off the street. Even stock, it has purpose tho :cool:

I didn't like the handling of them originally but I got the hang of it after fooling around with the ones in RR so many times.

Got myself one yesterday:

That is the dark steel not chrome by the way.

Just bought one recently, even though you can pull them off the streets. This car is badass which is why I like it. The only thing I don't like about this car is that the fact that you cannot change the color of the roof rails.

I've got two Grangers. (two characters)

In both cases I hunted down the kind that doesn't have the brush guard on the front... I reckon it looks better without it.

 

(the vertical bars on either side of the grill for the brush guard look odd to me... how they're slanted out towards the top)

For the most part, you're both right. The only thing quoted above that is incorrect is that there has never been anything called "Blaine County Sheriff". The Sheriff SUV did used to spawn only in Blaine County but it (and all the other Sheriff vehicles, offices, and uniforms) have always said "Los Santos Sheriff". I too had a Sheriff SUV in my garage from very early on, using the same method Mr.Smith described. However, it did say "Los Santos Sheriff". I can't speak for UP9390, but I assume that's what they meant.

Anyway, back on-topic. Here's my civilian Granger. Exempt plates, cop horn. Too bad the current-gen version's police lights(?) don't work. I prefer it without the grille guard, since it also applies that ugly black plastic bit on the bumper.
