Or how about a bonnet net? It's got a vinyl base to protect the hood from whatever cargo is held in the net. They're from Rock & Road 4x4 in the U.K: https://rocknroad4x4.com/shop/land-rover-defender-bonnet-net/

How about a rack for your bonnet? Haven't seen something like this for a Grenadier but perhaps the Land Rover version could be installed on the Grenadier hood... I captured these photos a few years ago and the website and Facebook page for this company doesn't seem to exist anymore, so I...

Leaving before dawn on Thursday morning, I drove 1700 miles in two days to get to Denver, I'm on my way to Las Vegas to attend the SEMA Show. And after the show, we'll be exploring offroad and camping in Death Valley, followed by some trail time in the Moab, Utah area. The drive was fine and...

An interesting awning: The awning stows in this bag on the floor: I think it was a DIY project but there wasn't any explanation in the magazine. Speaking of DIY awnings, here's my DIY awning... I made this one some years ago for my Jeeps and since I'm using the same rack on the...

Another item of personal kit from the August issue of Land Rover Owner: I got two of them a few years ago from Coleman's Military Surplus, they were $9.95 at the time. Fits perfectly in the small pocket on the door of my Wrangler. Haven't found an appropriate place to keep it in the...

Another Jerry can conversion to storage can. I found this on the defender2.net Land Rover forum a few years ago but the photos seem to have disappeared now: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic80423.html. I saved the photos when I first saw the thread... There's very little written detail...

NATO/Jerry Can Luggage/Storage Cases... More versions are here: https://g-case.myshopify.com/ Could be a DIY project, you could start with a surplus NATO can on sale - this was the price during a sale at Coleman's: That sale is off now but they go on sale regularly...

I haven't seen anything like these for the Grenadier - solid panels that attach to the inside of the window area and offer storage. A similar product: This one's a panel with pockets and would be fairly easy to do for the Grenadier: Here's a more clear view of the same product in tan...

Making good use of the overhead MOLLE panels.

Some other examples of things hanging over Land Rover cargo area windows. Mounting panels for the side of a hardtop from a company called Delta Bags (https://www.delta-bags.de/en/mounting-systems/outside/outside-panels/). They're not technically Molle panels, and the company sells a range of...

Actually the Grenadier is a beast with all this gear installed. I stored two folding chairs and a small folding table under the cover on top of the tent, which increased my overall height to 8' 3". Everywhere I'm going on my trip for the next two weeks I'll be parking outside, so the height...

I installed the roof top tent yesterday and the kitchen the day before; today I opened everything up to make sure it's all good to go. Kitchen. Fridge, sink with running water, small butane stove for this trip. Awning over the back doors (not deployed in this photo) covers the cooking area...

I've posted a few times about the idea of adding L-track just below the drip rail above the side windows; a mate to the factory L-track below the windows. Seems better for mounting things than using the drip rail. A company in Germany offers these and they use adhesive to mount them...

I just remembered I did a video showing the installation on my Wrangler a few years ago... . It went the same on the Grenadier except that the Grenadier is a little taller so there was more reach involved...

No, MORryde won't be exhibiting at SEMA this year. My Grenadier will just be spending its time in a parking deck at my hotel until the show is over, then I'll be heading for Death Valley. BTW if anyone wants to see who's exhibiting at SEMA, this link will give you the entire floor plan...
