Land Rover Ideas for Grenadiers

I posted a photo of this Land Rover tub trailer earlier in the thread - here are some detail and interior photos of it...

With the matching tow vehicle:

Would be cool to do a trailer like this that matches the Grenadier. For the Land Rover these trailers are made from scrap Land Rover tubs but since scrap Grenadier bodies don't really exist, a fiberglass version could be made. Or a Land Rover tub could be used, the shape isn't that different from the Grenadier body.

Is anyone interested in a trailer to match the Grenadier?

Sounds like you are! Off to the mold shop with you!

I am interested but not enough to start making molds. And I've still got the Jeep/Safari trailer, which looks just fine behind the Grenadier and if I ever stop hauling cargo with it I'll be able to finish the interior as a camper. Also don't really have room to store a second trailer here.

An interesting table/Maxtrax mount/Gear panel that bolts to the side of the hardtop:

Shown open in this next photo (ignore the cargo hatch that replaced the window glass):

It's pretty simple, here's the hardware. The one on the right has mounting studs for holding Maxtrax; a table/gear panel could also be installed as seen in the photos above.

These are available for Land Rovers from a Swiss company: https://www.rough-parts.com/online-shop/sandblechaufnahme-168.html and they start at about $300 USD and go up to about $650 (!) with table and Maxtrax mounts. Wouldn't be hard to manufacture something for a lot less here in the US.

You'd have to drill holes in the Grenadier body to install this, but it wouldn't be too hard to make a version that attaches to the L-track on the side of the Grenadier and the roof drip rail (or a second piece of L-track mounted just under the drip rail.
