This seems like a good idea. From Land Rover Owner: Some fridges have Bluetooth now so you can monitor them from your phone but my older Dometics don't. One of my Dometics has Wifi which really doesn't work well with my Android phone and my other Dometic has nothing, so a monitor like this...

I received preproduction samples of the rear door window bags from the craftsmen at Overland Outfitters. I had designed and sewed a bag for the narrow door window as a proof-of-concept and six weeks ago I sent that bag and a design and patterns for a wide rear door window bag to them; they...

Land Rovers don't show up in great numbers at the SEMA Show but here's one I saw a few years ago at the show, it's done in a beach/boat theme: A cooler compartment in the floor. Also note the tailgate: Another view of the tailgate: Not sure I'd want a wood floor in my Grenadier though.

Many people complain about Torx fasteners and how when they get older and rusty they can be hard to extract. Hopefully we won't have to deal with rusty Torx fasteners for a long time if ever in the Grenadier but they're a common problem in Wranglers. Ihis item in Land Rover Monthly caught my...

One of the little things that Ineos got wrong are the hole plugs in the plastic cowl panel by the wipers. I've seen many comments about them going missing and I discoverer that one of mine was missing the other day. Probably came out when I was in the manual car wash using the pressure wand...

Defender Camper Trailer - every issue of both magazines has a classified ad section in the back. Mostly they list various Land Rover vehicles for sale by owner, but in the July issue of Land Rover Monthly this Defender Camper Trailer was listed: Grenadiers being parted out hopefully won't be...

DIY Pop-top camper If Grenadiers had separate roof panels like Defenders do, a DIY like this would be a lot easier. This DIY camper is featured in the February 2022 issue of Land Rover Monthly: Since the roof panel unbolts, it's not a huge task to hinge it, support it with some gas...

Pop-up campers for the Grenadier don't have to be so expensive. I believe an Alu-Cab starts at $12,000 or more, but on the other side of the Atlantic, where pop-tops seem to be more popular, conversions like the Eco Poptop pictured below were starting at 2400 GBP (about $3300) a few years ago...

I drove about 300 miles the other day on salted New Jersey roads, when I got home the Grenadier was so salt encrusted that hardened salt deposits were building up on the hot tailpipe tips. Had to get the salt off so went to a self-serve carwash, in this photo I'm desalting the Sparehopper bag...

An original Dormobile brochure.

Land Rover Owner had a feature on Dormobile camper conversions for Series Land Rovers. The opening photo spread: I was wondering what a Dormobile-style camper top would look like on a Grenadier, so I did a little photo-editing... Some interior shots... the Dormobile conversion involves...

Here's another Defender pop-up conversion. From DriveLodge, it also gets installed over a cutout in the factory roof. There's no pricing on the web site but other I've seen some sources say they sell for about 2k GBP ($2700), installation extra. A closer look at the fitting between the...

About two months ago I installed overhead MOLLE panels with L-Tracks in the cargo compartment above the side windows. I've been using mostly ordinary MOLLE pouches on the panels and they've proven to be very useful extra storage and the panels performed well on our off-road trip out west to...

This photo showed up on Facebook the other day, it's a Grenadier modified to accept an Alu-Cab pop-top. Posting it because the same mod would work with the pop-top ideas above and a few more ideas to come.

poptoproofs.co.uk (https://www.poptoproofs.co.uk/shop/product-info.php?id=30392) offers a wide range of pop-ups for different vehicles. They install over a hole cut in the roof. Last I checked it was GBP 2255.00 (+451.00 VAT) or about $3700 USD, it's an insert that can be installed in many...
